The lightning that danced on his blade, startled the shifter so greatly that he nearly dropped the weapon. Once he realized if wouldn't hurt him, he lashes out with the magic sword and again with the mundane weapon in his other hand. "You'll h-h-have to do b-b-better than th-th-that," the shifter says at the retreating halfling after the prick with the dagger.
actions
Quarry halfling in front of him. Twin strike quarry. Main hand: Miss(nat one). Off-hand: Hit 24. Off-hand damage: 4 damage, Quarry damage: 5. Total: 9 Roll Lookup

Dalzim waves his hands in front of the halfling, and little razor sharp force fragments start to appear around the small assailant. In seconds, the nasty fellow sees himself surrounded by these flying blades, that cut through cloth and skin.
Incarnation's attempt to choke the life from the thief fails.
Dalzim fills the southern part of the alley with razor sharp blades, cutting the halfling. The halfling is shocked and misses his opportunity attack.
Amicus attacks the halfling, injuring the small attacker's arm with an enfeebling strike.
Riardon attacks the halfling and hits.
Rurdev attacks the halfling and hits with his off hand.
[Round 3]
The fleeing halfling moves away from the cloud of daggers that appears to surround his buddy and runs off down the hall, disappearing out of sight. (was H5, now at A10)
The halfling infront of Rurdev attacks the shifter, hitting, then backs up out of the door. (was H4, now H5)
The halfling infront of Riardon attacks the warlord, missing, and contemplates the warlord's stance and decides to try the retreat with his fellows. (was G4, now H4)
The halfling attacks Amicus but misses. (I2)
The halfling attacks Dalzim, hitting, then backs out of the cloud of daggers. (was I5, now J5)
ooc
Riardon gets a free attack on the halfling at the door (H5) with Viper Strike.
Rurdev growls, the hair standing up on his arms, his feral heritage even more apparent. Though not fully shifted, he is still a fearsome opponent. He slashes wildly at the halfling blocking the exit, but his fearsome appearance gives the halfling a big jump in adrenaline and the little one dodges out of the way of the deadly blades.
Actions
Quarry halfling now blocking exit, twin strike. Both miss. 13 and 9 to hit. Roll Lookup Okay, I've missed, SG your turn to make it up this time.
As it steps forward the door, the fire along Incarnation's arms flare with power, and a dark aura surrounds the little man. Then, with a quick gesture and spat out curse, the warforged lobs a sphere of ember and shadow which catches the halfling dead in the chest! The smell of brimstone fills the air.
OOC: Minor: Place curse on H4. Standard: Eldritch Blast: Ref 24, 15hp

In reaction to the halfling in front of him shifting, Riardon scores a minor hit as the halfling retreats to the front door (H5).
Incarnation blasts the halfling thats blocking the door.
Dalzim fires a magic missile at the halfling hiding around the corner but misses.
Amicus attacks but fails to hit the halfling in front of him.
Riardon cuts the halfling blocking the door down, leaving a bloody burnt mess on the wooden floor.
Rurdev moves over the corpse to attack the halfling that had moved earlier but misses.
[Round 4]
The halfling infront of Riardon backs off and flees down the alleyway. He is still barely visible with all the junk in the way at the mouth of the alley. (was H5, now at A5)
The halfling attacks Amicus, critically hitting the paladin before backing away. (was I2, now I1)
The halfling near Dalzim breaks and runs the other way seeing his allies try the same. (was J5, P5)
Rurdev runs out into the street, chasing after the halfling that fled. He brings his scimitar to bear in a charge, after naming the halfling a credible threat. His scimitar slices into the wee one's shoulder, a near deadly blow.
Actions
Move to D5. Quarry halfling at A5. Charge halfling at A5. Magical enhancement bonuses to att/dam not included. 20 to hit. 13 damage. I'll make an atheltics check (+10) if needed to jump over some things that are impeding my charge. If this is sufficient to knock it to 0 hp, I'll knock it unconcious instead of killing it. http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1910772/
As the eladrin cut down the halfling, a dark glow from his fiery "veins" infused Incarnation. Power from blood thrumming inside him, the warforged strides into the alley, seeming draping the darkness around him like a cloak. He barks a single, foul syllable at one of the fleeing halflings, but turns his attention to the one that already wounded him. Another bolt of broiling darkness causes the small one to cry out in pain as it spits blood!
OOC: Cursed target dropped, so 4 temporary hp. Move to H5, gaining concealment (Shadow Walk). Curse J5 (Minor), EB vs. A5 (already cursed) Ref 15, 18 p[. That's the ticket!

Seeing the halflings flee, Incarnation takes a quick look around to see if they have garnered any other attention.
That done, he walks over to where the unconscious form lies. Stripping him of his weapons, the warforged looks to the shifter. Tie him and bring him to the hovel. We have questions to ask.

Rurdev listens to Incarnation and pulls a rope from his pack. Tying the halfling securely, the shifter throws him over his shoulder and takes him inside. Once inside, he examines his new blade more closely trying to identify how it works while they organize the interrogation.
ooc
Short rest time? I'll spend two healing surges and attempt to figure out how the scimitar works.
Rurdev ties up the halfling and brings him into the hovel. The halfling will be out for a bit if you want to do any more searching/reading/resting before interrogation time. Nothing moves or stirs in the alleyway though the presence of watching eyes can certainly be felt behind the other hovels in the area. Once inside, Rurdev searches the halfling for identifying features. Beyond the daggers and armor, the halfling carries with him a simple pouch with a few coin in it (between him and the dead guy you get 8gp).
ooc: short rest time.
[XP Reward]
Rurdev, Riardon, and Incarnation get 150xp ea.
Dalzim gets 75xp
Amicus gets 0xp
Everyone gets 332xp for Time based XP (Sept 28, 2008 - Jan 28, 2008)
[Treasure Reward]
8gp recovered from 2 downed halflings (and 4 daggers and 2 suits of leather if you really want it)
Lightning Scimitar +1
Rurdev gathers the gold into a pile and gestures toward it, speaking to Incarnation. "I g-got the b-b-blade, you can split up the gold." He sits crosslegged, blade unsheathed and laying across his lap. "I am r-r-ready to wake him when-e-e-ever you a-a-re."
ooc: any preparation before waking the unconscious halfling?
Rurdev prepares to wake the halfling and notices something just above his shirt collar. Opening it a bit, Rurdev spies a strange tattoo on the halfling's chest. The tattoo was very recent as the scab is still fresh, obscuring the detail. It would appear to be a gem or shard in general shape. While halfling age can be difficult for some to pick up at a glance, you are guessing this little guy is no more than 16 or so.
