"Well then we are at a stand still dear sir. I must say that you can't trust me to walk away, and the only way to get to know me, for as you say that is the only way you will begin to trust me, requires that I walk away, consequently dear sir I must say we have a predicament." Thinking about it even after his struggle with the guards I probably had the jump on this guy with hand to hand combat, consequently after a moment I responded " How about this, we battle just fists, no weapons, no magic, the works, like proper humans should. I say we fight to first blood. If I win you tell me your name and let me walk away, I swear I will not tell the guard, the name is for if we ever run into each other again. However if you win I hall take you to the officials ship and introduce you, and attempt to get the bodyguards to not shoot you on site of you in close proximity to him. what do you say?"

Then we have a deal so let us both prepare our selves and let the best man win

"very well" I respond after his acceptance. I then shrug off my sniper and let it hit the dirt with a thud, after putting my self in combat stance, I say loudly "Ready... Set... Fight" As I say the final word I

I heave a sigh of relief when I notice a general store. I get up, feeling weak in the knees, and half-hobble into the store. People begin to stare at me. I pass by a mirror, and realize my fur is wildly out of control, my hair is worse and my Ryklup armour is starting to tear from the dry heat. I shake my head at my selection and decide to look for a brush as well.

Check for water jugs/bottles, ready-to-eat foods (fruit, cold-cut meats, pre-made sandwiches, yogurt, candy bars, etc.), a pack of some kind, and a hair brush. Check prices for all.

[VokunKreh]

Not wanting to cause a scene, but not prepared to suffer the attentions of a drunk, I attempt to cast "suggest" on the man to find some easier pray, and ready the daggers in my sleeves for combat in case my magic should fail me.

Everyone you ask tells you that they saw a man fitting his description leave the spaceport several hours ago, but no-one remembers which way he left.

As you prepare to attack, the other man (BAM) bursts into motion, faster than you can react. With speed unlike any man you've seen before, he hits you. HARD. Your body armour takes most of the damage, but you still get winded. As you try to hit him, he dodges out of the way, and you miss him completely.

The shop has everything mentioned above, and the shopkeeper is willing to give you 50% off the shelf price for everything. To purchase all items (x1) is $100.

The man seems confused, not sure what's going on. He asks you what he was doing previously.

[The Dark King]

Sighing in irritation, I decide to piece together what Staadnau was going to do, and what area that would have taken him to.

Jog memory about what Staadnau was doing, and try to think where he could have gone.

I tell the man that he was donating his funds to the needy, and move on, still asking around in search of transportation

Intrigued, I move up to the door and take a peek inside. Roll for what I find, and to see what the other men are doing.

[Megaprr]

Due to high demand, I'm changing my action. Which, I agree, was metagaming. The reason I did in the first place was because a) we're going nowhere fast, and I felt that metagaming in such a situation would speed things up and help things get rolling without getting in the way and being too "cheaty". and b) A certain someone had already done so in the past without even the slightest annoyance.

I stay in the trance for a short while, but my body rejects it, and awakes me. My body is tired and needs real rest. My mind is also tired, so I pull up my hood, sit in the corner and fall asleep.
No roll

[choppedliver]

The shopkeeper, seeming very alarmed by my current state, pushed a decent sized leather pack, a brush, 4 litres of water as well as two apples, a pear, two candy bars, and three sandwiches at me and barked for a hundred. I pulled my coin purse out of my boot and gave him what he asked. As he double checked the amount, I stuffed the food, water, coin purse and brush into the pack, and slung it over my shoulders. He nodded and I left the shop. Realizing the heat, I pull into some shade behind a cart down the street from the shop. I pull out the candy bars and wolf them down with half a litre of water. I rest for a bit, brush out the matts from my hair and fur, pulling out more sand then I'd hoped for, finally deciding my next move should be to find Maarsah. I get up, return the brush to my pack, and look for the edge of town where I'd last seen him.

Look for (any sign of) Maarsah.

Realizing that he could have gone to scout the spaceport, you realize that he could be literally anywhere in the spaceport. This might take a while.

Pausing briefly, he then shakes his head and asks again, what he was doing, all the while following you as you search.

You manage to locate a transport that will soon be leaving (2 turns).

The other man (Blackstar) suddenly rushes you, faster than he was before. As you dodge to the side, he gets a glancing blow on your cheek. No blood is drawn, but it stings a fair amount. You try to knife him in the gut, but find that his body armour absorbed most of the blow, and the knife got stuck in the folds of the armour. You are now without a knife. No blood has been drawn yet.

The warehouse is swarming with people of all walks of life. Workers, citizens, tourists, prisoners, merchants, and the group that you are following. You can't make out what they are doing from you position.

You know that he was surrounded by guards, but never saw more than that. That seems like the place to start looking.

[The Dark King]

Pinching the bridge of my nose with my thumb and index finger, I sigh as I try to think where the most logical place for him to go would be. "He always has that kind of luck. Trouble has him on speed-dial." I mutter to myself as I leave the interior of the ship. I lean up against the side of the ship, keeping sure I'm in the shade. I close my eyes and try to picture what Staadnau would be most likely to do.

Put my self in Staadnau's shoes (metaphorically of course), and try to picture the path that he would most likely have taken.

[BAM Blind And Mad]

Getting slightly concerned with my prodicament I decide to go for the straight forward approach

I walk around trying to find a town nearby and I thinking about what style I should use on my next sword. A curved blade with a heavy tip or a double-edged sword.

You little cheater I think as I wrench the knife from my armour and toss it to the the ground I'm going to make you hurt for that one and at once I clench my fist and punch him in the face as hard as possible

I repeat to the stranger that he was being charitable, and prepare myself for departure. So basically, I'm packing.

[choppedliver]

As I search for Maarsah, the only thing I come up with is a hoard of guards not too far from where I left him. I decide that it's my best lead, and look around the guards, and listen for anything astray, but do my best to keep out of the guards' way.
Still looking for Maarsah.

As you both leap forward to fight, your fists impact each others' faces AT THE SAME TIME. Staadnau lands a hit to the jaw, and the impact splits Tahrodiis's lip open. Tahrodiis lands a hit to Staadnau's nose, breaking it and drawing blood.

The other man leaves, still confused as to what he was doing, as you begin to pack. There are several things you don't have, such as food and water though.

The guards have nothing really interesting to say, mainly talking about whores and what they'll do when they're off duty.
