Who wants to be a Wayfinder? Part 1

Midian Rightson, human druid

Without thinking, Midian points the summoned badger out the door, running himself to help his friends, shortspear in hand.

[sblock=OOC]This may require a Handle Animal check, since Midian's not speaking animal at the moment. Midian's base check is a +9, though I'd think perhaps he'd get a bonus since this is a summoned creature and thus magically loyal to him? It's not a big deal, since at this point it'll probably only get one more attack before it evaporates,anyway

Whisper staggers backwards, one hand going of its own accord to the gash the man made. Her opponent was quick...far too quick for her liking. This was the situation Whisper always swore she'd avoid. Close combat with a skilled opponent.

Frantically her free hand sketches out the sigils for another blast of energy, hoping against hope that her shield would be fast enough to intercept his next attack. Or that Seria's crossbow might be enough to finish him.

Another pair of actinic bolts whines from her hand to smash into her assailant!

Johan bursts out of his room quickly and into the women's room.

OOC: if the door is locked, he'll force it.

Racing across the room, Johan flings open the door of his room and moves into the hallway. He barely slows down as he slams into the door to the womens room, shattering the cheap door frame. Midian follows with the badger close on his heels. Seeing the second intruder carving up Whisper, he whistles at the badger and points. The animal barrels past them both and moves into position to strike. Seeing that it is now badly outnumbered, Whispers attacker breaks off and makes for the window. The badger manages to rake it with a claw as it flees. It grasps a rope and swings over the edge. Not willing to let it escape, Whisper moves to the edge of the wall and points down at the fleeing person. She twists her hands through the air tracing arcane sigils before another bolt of magical energy strikes it before it can make it halfway down the wall. The attackers startled cry is cut short when it loses its grasp on the rope and falls the remaining distance where it lies unmoving.

With blood staining her satin nightgown, Seria lowers the crossbow and quickly grabs her cloak to cover up. "What in the name of Olladra was that all about?" Seria says still wincing in pain.

Her teeth bared behind her mask, Whisper glares down at the fallen assassin.

"We've gained some attention. With any luck at all, it means we're on the right path. Lets get down there and check that body before anyone else can get to it."

She turns quickly and starts for the door...then pauses and grunts in pain, putting a hand to her wound. "Definitely a familiar..." she murmurs as she starts again towards the door, now favoring the bloody gash the knife made in her.

"So long as it's not a monkey like--" Midian's quip falls short, his face ashen as he whispers. "Oh, gods. Jaron!" Without more, he rushes back to the room the three men shared and rushing to Jaron's side to check on him.

Mista Collins · Nov 28, 2006

"What of Jaron?" Seria asks as she follows Midian into the other room. At the site of Jaron's dead body, tears start to swell up in Seria's eyes.

Realizing Jaron is beyond his help, Midian moves to the window again. "There was another one in here, but he jumped..."

[sblock=OOC]Any sign of Midian and Johan's visitor?"[/sblock]

Whisper pauses in the doorway only long enough to verify that her companion is beyond her help...she then dashes down into the inn's common room, heading for the door. Assuming no one stops her, she'll make all haste for the assassin her spell felled.
