DtBP: Firebrand’s Redoubt - GM Turn Post 6

Festival concludes with large, public feast in the market square alongside musical performances and speeches from various important locals. Dinner, served across dozens of buffet tables, consists of mushroom dishes, hearty breads, and beer from downside as well as roast boar, game hens, and fresh greens from the surface. Most attendees bring out their own tables or spread blankets on the cobblestones, and festival-goers wander from blanket to blanket, saying their final goodbyes and sharing one last drink before returning to the trade routes or their everyday tasks.

As the winners of the Spring Muddle, the party joins Mayor Bensik at her table as honored guests, sitting with local officials as well as Erna Stoneheart, who attends as guard captain rather than a competitor. Lukher declines to join the party, claiming he needs to find a few business contacts in the crowd.

About half way through the meal, screams of terror rise from the picnic area near the market square’s far end. A dwarf dressed in a Davarn guard uniform runs into the pavilion and calls to Erna Stoneheart. “Captain, come quickly, they have Lukher!”

Grabbing her axe, Erna Stoneheart follows the guard back into the crowd toward the screaming people.

What do you do?
