We sit down, talk and eat without much incident until the sun comes down.

Kar: Yeah.

Lizzie: This is bullshit! I can take care of myself Kar!

Kar: I teached you how to defend yourself, not strike first.

Kar: You're not going. Tos and I will take care of it.

Lizzie: Not to be rude but what the SHIT are the two of you gonna do against them?! Tos won't even swat a fly!

Tos: ...I-

Kar: We'll be fine. You're only going to risk yourself and you'll ruin it.

Lizzie: NO fuck that! I wanna go!

The two continue to fire at each other.

Shhhhhhit. Completely forgot that he said he was gonna make something. Sorry Tos, please don't hate us!

>>805995
It's understandable that Kar would be worried for Liz. It's probably because she's only got one arm and he doesn't want her to get hurt again.

Or maybe the last time Liz wanted to do something like this and Kar didn't stop her, she ended up losing her arm and he doesn't want that to happen again.

This.

And this.

My opinion was that no one in your group should interact with this gang on this first expedition. This is supposed to be a scout mission to guide more violence apt but lazy authorities in the rescue of a little girl.
Honest I would prefer that you did that alone, but since you want company the scouting plan should help with Kar's worries.

Kar might be more willing to let her go if he knew you can handle yourself in a fight too.

Time to fight Kar!

I get it too but if he's so worried why not just keep her close?

I hope it stays as just a scouting mission for now too. Heck I hope we can get her back without nobody being hurt at all.

Anyway.

>C: Comfort Tos
Tos and I head into the tent and sit down, Tos is still a bit shaken and is breathing pretty heavily.

"Tos? You okay man?"

He doesn't respond, he's still shaking, probably just as bad or even worse than before.

...Tos did make some soup. Perhaps if you are not too full, and the soup is still warm enough, you can ask if he would like to eat some of the soup he made with you.

I'm normally in disagreement with the hug obsession most of us have, but in this case it's probable a sensible course of action.
Sit next to him, hug his shoulders in comforting manner and tell nothing bad will happen, his friend will eventually calm down. Do what you can to maintain his focus on you and not at the discussion.
Tos reaction isn't normal. To be this shaken he must have some sort of trauma, a deep fear associated with the disagreement of those close to him. Whatever it is you will have to wait for a more peaceful circumstance to ask.

Ah, alright. Soup. Got it.

I spot a pot, bowls and spoons. The pot is filled nearly to the brim with soup, it's a pretty warm still.

"Uh, Tos. Here. Eat something."No response.

We sit eating in silence for forever. Tos only takes a spoonful every few minutes.

What do I say?

Well, at least he is eating. That is a good sign. Perhaps give him some time. Be patient with him.

Start addressing his concerns. ...nothing bad will happen, his friend will eventually calm down, no ill will result of this.
When you get his attention complement the soup, ask about his day, about the camp, places he visited, friends he met... whatever conversation topic you can use to maintain his focus away from the conflict.

Definitely don't bring Tos with you to any fight. If just spectating a verbal fight sent him into a panic, having him directly involved in a real fight would probably break him for good.

Anyway, give him a hug. Hugs solve all emotional problems. The rock said so.

Ask him what he's most upset about. His friends getting in an argument? Or is he afraid about them going off and getting hurt?

>>814722
Let's not do that, why don't we go have a chat with each of them and see if we can't come to an understanding.

At first it may seem like you failed to cheer Tos, but you actually succeeded to bring him to a rational state of mind. This mean you can argue with his reasoning instead of treating him like a child.
You don't know them all that well, you know much less about Kar than you know about Liz and you don't understand very well the nature of their conflict. At this point you can't vouch to solve this conflict, but if Tos or someone else explain the details you can try to talk to them.
Regardless do not sell false hopes. Tos need to understand that even friendships fall apart and if this happen he will need to accept.

Why not just do this scouting mission with just the two of you, bro adventure style.
Leave Liz and Kar to deal with their issues.

>Why not just do this scouting mission with just the two of you, bro adventure style.
I think I have to agree with Lizzie. Tos isn't really... he's not going to be able to handle that.

>Leave Liz and Kar to deal with their issues.
It probably got this bad from leaving them to deal with their issues for too long. I don't know if I should, but I want to help, somehow.

>>816914
Talk to each one individually then get them together to work out their differences?

>>816914
Go back and tell them that regardless of actions they decide to pick there's no way any of this is going to work. If you make Lizzie stay here, do you really think she's going to stay here? And does Lizzie seriously believe she can handle an offensive position? There is no point in arguing about the situation at hand because it isn't going to change jack shit. If anything they should assess the situation from a stealth perspective.

Maybe we can calm Kar with blowjobs and booze?

I still think you should go alone. The least amount of people the less likely you will be of been spotted. Beside, what help will the kobolds be in a fight against a gnoll gang?
Regardless I trust Tos to be able behave and do what he can to not be seen by dangerous criminals. No one will be happy with this course of actions, but if you and Tos leave Liz will have the opportunity of experiencing Kar's point of view.

Leaving this conflict to it's natural development may not be ideal, but you already prove yourself to be too cowardly to interfere.
I already made my case of what I think you should do. If you don't want to deal with their problems and don't want to leave I don't know what to tell you. Maybe you should give a chance to the masturbation and blowjob suggestions in this case.

That... that would work? Maybe after we take care of Tos.

Who shoruld I talk to first?

Talk to Kar first, since you've spent more time with Lizzie. If you went to Lizzie first, Kar might think you're just taking her side.

Lizzie is the cute doctor girl you spent the evening hanging out with and getting foods. Kar is the angry guy with no intrist in socializing covered in spikes that just started shouting for no reason.

the solution is simple. Seduce Kar and abandon Lizzie she dont let you smash.

>>817320
I say you should go talk to Lizzie. She seems to be easier to talk to, she'll probably listen to what you've gotta say, and you can try to flirt with her to win her over!

No response.

Sam:"K-"

Kar:"What. What is it."

Sam:"I think we should talk about... Lizzie."

Kar:"What about her."

>>879553
It's important to not look afraid right now.

Be blunt, ask why he's against letting her go through the mission tomorrow. She handled the situation well so far. And looks better in tracking and combat than Tos. Ask why does he think she'll ruin it. The mission is just a reconnaissance, ideally there shouldn't even a fight in the first place. If he's really intransigent, offer to go with her (or him) instead.


If he doesn't shut down for further questions you could then ask about their relationship. Thing is, you don't really know much about it so you don't know which questions to make. So make a simple question this behavior: ask him why do they argue with each other so often. Warn him that it stresses Tos.

I barely remember what this conflict was about...
Tell Kar you weren't planing to fight gnolls. ...or offer him a blowjob. Whatever option we were inclined to follow last time.

I remember why my positions was so unhelpful. There was a agreement that to take the kobolds group to a stealth mission and I am of the opinion that this is a stupid. Because of that whatever I suggest end up been the opposite of what we are about to do.
I don't know what you can say to convince him this is a good idea because I agree with him. You better get help from someone else to elaborate your arguments or leave Kar alone before he punch you.

Maybe you're absolutely right. I'm not feeling so confident about actually getting close to these people now.

What about the farmer's girl, though?

I think I have some insight into scenarios like this due to experience. Both sides aren't wrong and never settle their differences. Both sides don't back down and compromise is never performed. You can try meeting separately with both people to gather info or whatever. Here is a few things to consider:

1. Kar does not trust Lizzie to leave and come back, this is why this conflict was brought up when Lizzie got back. I would not be surprised if Lizzie had a sub-motive/motive when you and her left, and she might of known they were already making food. This is why Kar refuses to let Lizzie leave like this.

2. Both sides have valid concerns, at least for this. Overprotectiveness doesn't apply considering there is a valid (but small, for this scenario) risk for people who go out heroically, even if its only for a scouting mission. What Kar's motive is that he values Lizzie more than Greg's daughter, and either A: doesn't trust Lizzie to handle something like this, B: doesn't want to lose her in overprotectiveness (commonly shown in war veterans due to loss of friends), C: Both, or D: Something else, as we don't know much. For all you know, Lizzie has some disability that makes stuff like this hard or something.

I recommend to move onto Lizzie, and go back to Kar later, assuming nothing comes up/something big revelation is revealed. Give Kar some time to think or something, he seems to be thinking considering his failure to respond. Turn to leave.

Also,

You're probably right about any of those three, but I ain't about to bring them up to him with how he's acting right now. Leaving him to his own thoughts is probably a good idea.

I look for Lizzie, but can't find her anywhere. I ask Tos and he points towards outside the camp. Lizzie's tent is a little separated from everyone else's, makes sense being the only girl. Barging into her tent might not be a good idea, so...

Sam:"Lizzie?"

Sam:"Lizzie are you alright?"

I'm not good at counting time, but I feel like it's been long enough to confirm Lizzie is either sleeping or is even more upset than Kar...

Stay quiet and listen to that tent, can you hear her snoring or making any noise?

Wait a second, is she even in the tent? She didn't left, did she? If you have a lantern light the tent ant try to see her silhouette. If you can't be sure she is there then first put your hand inside and see if there's a reaction. If not, take a peek.

Alright, maybe bothering Kar again now is a good idea.

Sam:"Kar! Lizzie is missing!"

Kar:"What?"

Sam:"She's not in her tent!"

Without a word Kar gets up and runs into the woods more or less in the direction of Lizzie's tent.

...Wait!

Sam:"Kar what about Tos and I? What do we..."

He's gone...

He is strong. He can fend for himself. Best for you to go back to Tos.

>>880049
Better off staying in camp. He can fend himself and it looks like he knows where he's going. Pester Tos because you're still too anxious. Check if he's coping well, maybe ask for a bit more info about this conflict if these questions don't upset him.

I don't think telling Kar was a good idea. Because her stuff was there, she was planning to go back soon, maybe before he even noticed her absence. Now, whether he finds her or not, he will feel his fears vindicated and will be even more intransigent than before. Also more quarreling with her at earliest opportunity.

If you plan to stay in the camp I suggest you find a weapon just in case, would Toa have any idea of where one might be in the camp?

Telling Tos to run is an awful idea! What if he gets lost and something happens to him?

The camp is completely silent. The bad kind of silence. Something isn't right at all.

Help.

Don't worry Sam it's just a little bit of grisly death, we'll be right here for you to absorb you soul do that you can still go on adventures with us, and shit and if we can't actually do that then it was nice knowing you Sam.

OK seriously now don't panic there's a good chance nothing sinister is actually happening and that we're just making you paranoid.
Calmly assess the situation. check around camp for anything suspicious. Also check that the clever didn't just fall to the floor. Check the other tents for weapons.

It's possible Kar or Liz took the cleaver. Call out to see if they're around.

We didn't say it was a great idea, we just said run!

bad ideas but ideas non the less

If you have seen any weapons or anything, its time to grab them. Overwatch with your back to his, so you can't be ambushed from behind. Also, get in some cover or something.

Try to run away without being noticed, because if you get noticed you may get cleaved in the back. Also, we here can't triangulate a position where you could run off, turn a specific amount of degrees, and follow the route due to the lack of a end position and one length.

In more simple terms, we may be able to work something out with more information, but otherwise run.

Just tell him what is going on, Liz wasn't in her tetn, and Kar went to look for her. You're confident that Kar is strong enough to fend for himself, but you too have got to sneak out.

Write something in a note or in the dirt, something Liz/Kar could see. A short message like "Invaded. We fled".

As for where to go, any landmark near? Any place where you can sleep? The city is the safest place because of the guards. Just flee towards a path and ask Tos on the way, its faster.

Good idea. I grab a stick from the floor and hastefully spell out a message in the dirt, hopefully it stays there.

I signal Tos to start running towards the edge of the forest and I follow.

After a while, we exit the forest and soon enough we're back at the town entrance, but this time nobody's here. Shit.

At the very least, we are out of the forest. There are no plantlife to conceal any bandits. And if a person who means harm doea come, you can scream for help. Those chimneys have smoke coming out, so they can hear your cries for help if it comes to that.

In the meantime, take a breather. Look towards the forest to see if anyone followed you both.

The forest is so far away I can't even see it anymore, I think we're definetely in the clear.

I walk up to the big door and knock; an unfamiliar voice responds.

???:"Noone is allowed in until the next morning."

Sam:"Please! We got an emergency here!"

???:"Sorry, come back tomorrow."

Ask if they can let a guard OUT to protect you from some spooky guy who stole your only weapon.

Sounds fair. If not, maybe you two will have to sleep here? if that is the case, we'll keep watch while you guys snooze. we'll yell if something suspicious comes up.

Though I'm hoping they let a guard out so we don't have to do that...
