• First time Gronk hit somebody

Raahnubs and Sully and Dash went back to Nubs' Hut to collect Gronk. When they got there they found 1.2 dead bodies that Gronk had hacked up and left on the ground after somebody interrupted his sleep. It was the mercenaries from the Huntsman, their rivals in the search for the Wolf's Pouch.

Soon, the 0.8 of the person belonging to the 0.2 of a person that Gronk chopped off showed up demanding the contents of the pouch. Sully tried valiantly, for a long time, to get him to be friends, but he refused and then lead an attack against them: six against four.

Gronk chopped up two dudes right on the spot. Dash sprinted away outside and stabbed one dude dead. Sully knocked some folks around with his staff, and Nubs impressively catapulted one of Dash's dropped daggers down the road and into one of them as they were trying to flee and killed the crap out of them. The fifth one also died somehow. And then Gronk knocked out the last guy, Ropeburn, a big guy who looked like a bear.

They dragged all the bodies back inside and woke up Ropeburn and talked for a while. Sully tried to make friends. Nubs offered him a job. And then Raahnubs squeezed his hand so hard that he died again.

So they went to The Fish and the Flask to collect Raldus to take over to Kiriel's (because One Arm said that they were offered a bonus to deliver the gnome along with the contents of the pouch) and they all went together to Kiriel's. I think Raldus did a bump of cocaine on the way.

Everybody got there and they talked to Kiriel for a long time. Turns out Elgren was a very close friend of Kiriel's and was also very important to the plot, so that it pretty much sucks that Dash murdered him so much. They talked about terrorism and the armistice, and what to do about the stolen money, and about the idea of getting Gronk to fix a fight. Good talk. And then they left to go home.
