-The squad is on the way towards Mabel, with only 3 miles left between them and sight of the town
Eder— “So what exactly is our plan again?”
Grognack- ” We’re gonna drop bombs on the lot of them!!!”
Kelthorn- ” I believe we should look for more diplomatic methods, seeing as there are still civilians within the town”
Badumtish— 
-Badumtish, the kenku, plays brief solo along the stirrups of the group’s horse
Turnip- ” Hey now, that’s some fancy playing”
“I think Soup liked that rhythm there, right?”
-Soup, Turnip’s trusty steed, doesn’t seem to pay attention to Badumtish.
Aqua- ” Hm, should he be making so much noise?”
Turnip- “Nah, it should be fine.”
“All of Lancaster’s forces should be busy defending Fort Hawthorne.”
Grognack-
” Who else has bombs on them? I say we drive em out with one big skadoosh!!!”
Aqua- “Skadoosh…?”
Turnip- ” It’s something a cow does”
Badumtish-
Eder- 
– “Well, well, look what we have here”
Kelthorn- !!!
-From both sides of the road, a group of dragon born emerge
-amongst their number, a man wielding a katana takes center
– ” Looks like Elmwood is trying to get cheeky.”
Aqua-
” Is he the leader of these dragonborn?”
Badumtish—
Kelthorn-
” Ah, excellent, you’re just the man I wanted to see.”
“I took the liberties of drawing up negotiation terms regarding Mabel”
-Kelthorn walks right up to the man, presenting documents as Turnip talks from his mount
Turnip- “Now we don’t want any trouble. We’re just on these roads to survey the land is all”
–
” Who the hell are you? Wait…your clothes..a farmer?”
“You should be in the Mabel fields right now working instead of yapping!!!! Get off that horse and get back to the town plantation!!!”
Grognack- “Bro..”
Kelthorn-
” I believe it would be in everyone’s best interest for us to reach a compromise from which we can both maintain our independent operations”
– “Huh….?”
“Back off, you talk too fast, elf!!!”
“What the-?”
-Hooked on his arm, Aqua strokes his bicep
Aqua- ” You seem so tense dear…I’m sure we can reach some sort of truce, or, something else?”
– “A female???”
“I don’t know why you’re here on the battlefield, but stay out of my way if you don’t wanna get hurt, and GET OFF MY ARM!!!”
Grognack- “Based!?”
Eder— 
” This is a disaster, but, at least we have time to just pullback and find another way around”
Turnip-
” Now why are you so mean to the little lady there? You like men?”
– “….
-There is a deafening silence
– ” Hey…”
” You wanna say that again? 
“
Turnip- ” Sure thing.”
-Turnip hops off of his horse, approaching the man with extreme casual energy
Turnip- “I said you’re a lil insecure buddy.”
“It’s okay to like men, just don’t mistreat a lady cause of that”
Eder- ” Things actually just got worse “
-Badumtish throws one of his drumsticks, hitting the man square in the temple
-what would immediately follow, could only be described, as chaos
— ” On my name as Jagan the Blade Breaker, you’ll ALL die here!!!!
