Meanwhile, the newcomers into the establish begin to move as well. The half-elf, Lorenzo the Magnificent, takes a defensive position and casts a protective spell upon himself. Grogg, the half-orc, takes another position by moving forward and taking a bar stool and smashing it across the torso of the ruffian causing him to take quite a bit of bludgeoning damage and nearly vomit the cheap ale that he had just been drinking.

Re: Chapter 2: Phandalin
Sasha swings her half empty (or half full) mug of ale around hitting the ruffian square on the side of his face. Her cloudy and frothy ale splashes upon his face sending both the liquid and the dregs into his eyes temporarily blinding him.

Re: Chapter 2: Phandalin
Your little deep gnome cracks half a smile, he must be feeling really good to break that normally 'sunny' disposition he has. He darts forward and vaults up onto the bar. Standing on the bar he squares up and punts a large pitcher of ale that sits on the bar into the face of the man behind the bar! "I'd like to return this drink, its bad."

"I'd advise you louts to lay down your arms while you still can!" the diminutive woman shouts at the thugs. "These people look like they mean business!" Quickly, she draws a blade, revealing a dark, almost black blade. Curiously, she has a second scabbard, though it is missing any kind of weapon. "I'm going to give you one chance to surrender!"

Re: Chapter 2: Phandalin
The Deep Gnome rushes towards the bar. He steps upon a barstool then onto the counter. Once he has a good vantage point and standing slightly taller than the others, he kicks a glass bottle on the counter towards the bartender hitting him square in the face, breaking the bartender's nose, and causing a momentary blindness from the blood that now covers his face.
Arveene takes a look around the bar to get a feel for the situation unfolding in front of her. From a quick glance, she realizes that the woman at the bar doesn't look like a local and instead her clothing and accent appears more akin to someone who either lives in or has spent a lot of time in nearby Neverwinter. With her crossbow already in hand, she quickly fires a shot towards the nearest thug.
The Ruffians begin to react to the attacks. Two ruffians at the bar quickly begin to rub their eyes clearing it of the blood or ale dregs. The other thug takes a swing at Sasha, but missing and then tries to follow that up with right hook which also misses the woman.
The thug which Grogg attacked with a barstool tries to shrug off the attack and instead takes a swing at the half-orc and quickly shifts to place the half-orc into an arm hold. Meanwhile, the ruffian's companion with a crossbow bolt in his leg attempts to stand up from his barstool. Woozily from being intoxicated and the wound, he smashes the bottle of cheap wine against the table, and moves towards Grogg. While the half-orc is held, the thug stabs twice at the half-orc with the sharp serrated bottle, but Grogg is able to use his legs to kick away the attempted stabbings.

Re: Chapter 2: Phandalin
Sasha calls out to the thugs to cease their actions. However, the Redbrands, who have ran roughshod over the town for the last several months, shrug off the call.

Re: Chapter 2: Phandalin
"Oh no, I spilled my drink...." he lets out a long low sigh even as he draws one of his throwing daggers. The Deep Gnome flicks his wrist to let his dagger go... it flies through the air right at the poor drunk bastard who's blinded from the beer pitcher to the face.

Re: Chapter 2: Phandalin
"Fine," Sasha shrugs. "You asked for it." Satisfied that she'd given fair warning to the enemy combatants, she flicked her sword at her opponent, but took care to strike with the flat of the blade.

"And now you're attacking a lady. Tsk tsk tsk." Lorenzo says, as he releases a firebolt at the ruffian who attacked Sasha.

Re: Chapter 2: Phandalin
Arveene was awkwardly sizing everyone up, guestimating the group's chances against the thugs, and brainstorming a comeback, before the brawl just commenced with a sudden roar and a charge from Grogg, causing her to reach for her weapon and loosing a quarrel without thinking first. But next, she forgoes the sharp steel of quarrel and blade, and opts for the heft of a full container of liquor.
"Puppies, was it? For a pack of rats, you should be more mindful whom you're snarling at."
She runs to a nearby chair and uses it to step up onto the table opposite the thug restraining Grogg in an armlock.
"Here's your 'puppies'," she says from atop the table, before overhead swinging a full bottle of exquisite wine (still sealed!) down at the Redbrand's head. Gods, he'd better not be so dense that the bottle smashes on his head, it would be such a waste.
