The scrawny winner hops out of the cage and makes a quick route to the door. The two large guards, however, are making no moves to open it as Talashia makes starts in that direction.
The man in the white-plumed hat also starts in that direction.

Are Uulark and Rogash going back underground, or to the Crimson Dagger. I haven't specifically decided what comes next, and that decision may depend on what you both decide to do.
btw - sorry for taking so long to get back to you. I suppose I was hoping this question would answer itself. It didn't, obviously. I'll try to keep up now.

Caerwyn elbows Shaimon Hu'u and gives a quick tilt of his head toward the possible upcomming conflict. he watches with simi disintrest while his hand moves verrrrry slowly toward the hilt of the first weapon he touches.

Shai tenses as Caerwyn points out the trouble--and his sister's proximity to it.
"Should we try to distract them?" Shai whispers. "Maybe you need to get 'jealous' again?"
OOC: IG, please let Scotley and myself know when Rogash and Uulark arrive. I hope they don't miss getting to see some good bloodshed! (But, on the other hand, they'd both rather be out wandering the street than in here actually shedding THEIR OWN blood!)

OOC: I think we were going back to take on the Chaos beast in the tunnels rather than through the front door. That was the point of additional missile weapons.

OOC: Yeah, that's where we WERE going, but that was before they started this ruckus with what's-his-butt in the tavern.
Talashia comes up from behind the winner and says, "That was well fought, sir, my sincere congratulations!"
She then fixes her azure blue eyes on the guards.
"I hope there's no trouble. Weren't you two going to open the door for the night's champion?"
"Not without a fair congratulations from the house," a voice says from behind Talashia. The man in the white-plumed hat nods at the sorceress as he approaches her left side, his right hand reaching out to shake the winner's. Still smiling, he pulls the winner toward him, and clutches his shoulder with his free hand.
"Please, come and have a drink on the house. Surely you wouldn't refuse me that much, having just won a large amount of my money?" Charisma was seeping from the half-elf's pores, for that is indeed what he is, as Talashia took note, standing so close to the man. His clothes were well tailored, and he wore an expensive smelling cologne. He she not thought him so vile, Talashia might even find him attractive.
He quickly escorts the fight winner to the back of the establishment, all but ignoring Talashia entirely.

Rogash, Uulark, along with Dyspeer and Shazi, find themselves again standing at a door deep underneath the city, but this time they'll be ready for the beast on the other side.
"Shaz, can you toss some Alchemist's fire between us and the beast? What about taking a peek on the other side of the door, can you go gaseous or something?"
Talashia fumes for a moment, but then sets her jaw and follows the plumed man and the winner back through the crowded room, fully intent on tagging along with them wherever they're going.

Meanwhile...

Shazi slaps his head in consternation. "Do I look like I have any alchemist's fire on me? I don't even have pockets! And no, I can't turn into 'gaseous form' or something. Can you melt into a puddle of dirty water at will? It works kind of like that. My essence is Air, but my body is solid. That's the breaks, mortal."
He shrugs.
"Of course, if you give me some of YOUR alchemist's fire...that'd be a different story. Though I have my doubts that a chaos beast is sane enough to let something like a little fire stop it."
"Man, I am SO glad you decided to annoy join us, Shazi! You're quite the little ray of sunshine! And, what really amazes me is HOW MUCH HELP you've offered to us since you've been here! I just don't know what we ever would have done without you."
