The Impregnable Fortress of Dib
Barbara is liking what she's hearing from her new team. Especially Amalar pointing out that paying bandit tolls only makes trouble for others. But that no one challenged the point is also a very good sign.
Pyrus grins. "I like the idea where we set the wagon on fire."
Wildfire, Barbara's little fairy companion, whispers in her ear, "Remember, 'probably' guilty of murder isn't the same as proven guilty. Suppose the people of the wagon fort are only there defensively? Or, even if they really are naughty, what if they have a captive inside?"
Barbara nods and addresses the group. "Could be an innocent captive inside the wagon. Let's rule out fire until someone's seen inside to be sure. I can approach in the open with my shield at the ready and Hunter can talk to the suspects from behind me. Meanwhile the rest of the group can circle around to where they won't have to deal with that nasty moat. If things get violent, I'll kick in their door. Then they'll be fish in a barrel. Pyrus, Mix, and Wildfire, you stay here to watch for any sneak-attacks on this wagon."
So accustomed to giving orders and having them followed, Barbara assumes the matter settled, and begins to approach the wagon with shield at the ready. But she won't ignore someone objecting and asking her to stop.
(( OOC Full defense action in case that wasn't clear. ))
