Thorir muttered. It was one of the few days off he got in this hole and he'd be damned if someone who just wandered in the door would just walk out without paying. Friends were one thing, the Law was another. He sighed and crossed the breach between them.

"Very well. I haven't, however seen you here before so I'll assume you are new. Raids here are frequent. If you value your life and virtue...avoid the outskirts..they are the worst hit by the bandits"

He looked to the barkeep after turning to his men to motion a hand for them to return to their stools "More ale...and make sure it doesn't taste like piss this time..." He flicked a silver coin onto the bar and returned to the table

"Heh......."

The witch;s hand was bathed in a blue flame, the temp in the nearby air drops to a few degrees below zero.

"I can take care of myself."

Thorir looked unimpressed and settled down on the stool to return to the revelrie.

"Barkeep, that ale!"

Their conversation was drowned out among the crowd as the inn returned to normal, and they went about their merry way drinking

A sound eight hours passes and both you and lance find rest in seperate rooms. The beds are lumpy and the linen looks like it has seen better days but it is luxury compaired to the hard ground and the biting chill of the wind.

Lightly a tap at the door comes and the Innkeep speaks up

"I have prepared a warm meal as service for our guests...it is ready at your convenience"

With that, he turns to repeat the same to Lance and heads back down to his inn

Ok, I wake up "borrow", 100 gold from Lance's pack. I eat my meal, thanks the innkeeper, and, when he's not looking, shoving the back with the money under the counter for him to find later.

Me and lance then quickly leave.

As you step outside into the street, you suddenly hear a loud crash, and a massive boulder comes tumbling in front of you, smashing a house to splinters. War horns sound, and you can hear the clash of steel outside the palisade. Men rush towards the gate, yelling at everyone to hide or help.
Scores of arrows fly over the palisade, spearing dozens of people in the street, and blood spatters across the snow. "DROW! EVERYONE TO ARMS!" screams a man in platemail as he sprints down the bloody street, a massive waraxe in hand. "EVERYONE TO THE FRONT GATE!"

This battle will be conducted over OpenRPG. Please join the Dev2 server and then join the Tycho AU room.

"*sigh*"

Jade and Lance walk to the front gate.

Ianna crouched up in within the hills of the surrounding landscape to avoid detection. She tilted up her nose and drew in the heavy night wind with a low growl of feral bloodlust. The scent of death was thickening the closer she arrived towards the town. Rarely did her blood stir this wildly, but when it did...she had to have her lusts sated.

Her form, Well built and firmly muscled made the leathers creak and contort in a groaning fashion with each complex movement. The longblade and buckler had been roughly sheathed and strapped to the back of her tight fitting leathers. She growled and remained low.

She would watch for now and hunt when the time was right.

Tycho, I am at work until tonight, you have control over my characters in the Stargate, and AU games

Dozens of wounded people lay in the inn, some dying, some still unconcious, and some already dead. From the conversations you overhear you can asertain that there were attacks all over the village. Most of the town guard seems to have been killed, and some drow are still left inside the village palisade, in hiding, at least that's what a dying farmer said a few moments ago.

Jade sat at the small wooden table in the inn. The left sleve of her robes had been cut off and lay on the table next to two blood stained arrows. She winced as the finsihed applying the bandage. She looked at the dying and wounded, and sighed.

"I'll help them, then we can deal with those drow."

The scent continued to waft across her nasal cavities and finally she growled and leaped up from her alcove towards the town. She needed to feed and the dead, or dying...or soon to be dead would be perfect...even if she liked her meat to wriggle. She gnashed her teeth together and lowered her stance to move along the underbush towards the town, attempting to stay hidden

In a few minutes, you manage to stabilize 25 people, but the other 5 die from their wounds after your failed treatment. The local healer says to you that he will provide long-term care for the injured, and that you needn't stick around.

Me and lance step out, and head toward where these drow are supposed to be.

As you draw closer, you can see a single guard sitting on the ground, a pool of blood around him. He doesnt appear to be moving. A pair of men stand around him, muttering and looking around uneasily. One of them suddenly shushes his comrade, and yells out in alarm. "Over there!" he points vigoursly to your hiding space. "Must be a drow. COME OUT DROW!'

lazerus · Post by **lazerus** » 2004-04-07 07:27pm

At the sound of the guard, me and lance run out.

Captain tycho · Post by **Captain tycho** » 2004-04-07 07:30pm

As you run out, you see the guards drawing clubs and yelling. "COME OUT DROW COWARD! TIME TO PAY FOR YOUR CRIMES!"

lazerus · Post by **lazerus** » 2004-04-07 07:32pm

"Heh."
Jade grins like only an overdone villianess can.
"Yes Drow, come out and play."

A grenade is loosely tossed into the area of the sound.

Coaan · Post by **Coaan** » 2004-04-07 07:35pm

Ianna murmured softly and rose to her feet to stomp out of the darkness, she looked annoyed but made no attempts to attack

"Do I look like a godscursed drow?"

She snarled

Captain tycho · Post by **Captain tycho** » 2004-04-07 07:37pm

The grenade lands right next to Ianna, but as it explodes Ianna has the foresight to hit the dirt, and she only takes minor signging from the grenade.
(5 damage done.)

lazerus · Post by **lazerus** » 2004-04-07 07:40pm

"Heh, oops."
Jade stares for a second.
"A Sibeccai? I havn't see one of you for awhile. What brings you here."
