M.A.G.U.S. - Ambush in the square

Having secured their agenda with the council, the adventurers further pushed the newly elected leader, Kalad, to help them investigate Telicanthus' mansion. The man listened to their pleas and gave his acceptance. He also provided them with more muscle in case they ran into trouble. A new adventurer had joined the party: Cahir, the paladin of Uwel.
The adventurers had a place to be in the evening, having been invited to a tea party at Telicanthus' place. However, no adventurer ever sits still. They decided to go out into town.

Obviously, they were ambushed in the market square right in front of their inn. Luckily for Athosian's danger sense, they were not unprepared. However, the beggars came in full force. Many were disguised as shopkeepers and shoppers, others had climbed to the roofs of houses carrying bows and arrows. They even had two priests backing them up. The adventurers fought tooth and nail, carrying the day by a hair's breadth.
