ZARANTYR 10, 1001 GALLOP, ELDEEN REACHES
Kar-Draith watches Gears and the two magic users push through the snow. “Stay here unless called for.” He says to the warforged.
“But they said for us to….”
“I know but I need their help to get this book back to civilization and be sold. This place reeks of trouble.” Before Charger can continue the argument, the lizardfolk moves behind the store. He peers into the store window and sees plenty of supplies. The furs especially look good to him. He moves around the corner and comes to the backside of the tavern. He pulls out his bow and notches an arrow when he hears Diana talking to two men that seem rather disrespectful. Maybe they will kill the sorcerer. So long as she lives, he should be able to sell the book while the old man is liable to steal the book and GIVE it so some Silver Flame group. Bad idea old man.
Then he hears the old man grunt. They are being attacked!
He runs out from behind the tavern and sees two men in heavy furs beating on the sorcerer. He takes one down quickly with an arrow. Charger looks up from the ground and sees what is happening.
Inside the tavern, most of the claw were relaxing and do not have their weapons or shields on them. This puts Diana at an advantage as she is considered armed with her mechanical / artificial arm. As they rush at her she begins to pummel them. Gears also tears into members. A few of the townspeople attempt to escape the violence by exiting through the side door into the entertainment area of the tavern. Here there are many more Claw members. They are in various acts of seedy activity including the back corner where three female members are having their way with a farmer’s son.
Charger drops the dead body and charges into the town. Taylor rolls on the ground away from the entrance and drinks several healing potions to recover from his injuries. Diana is surrounded by Claw members whom take turns striking at her. Some hit, most don’t. Gears uses the tables as cover and attacks at member’s legs- sometimes tripping them and dragging them under the table to be finished off.
The battle seems to be going well for them until the members in the next room begin to get organized- all two dozen of them along with their leaders! They join members in the tavern while others pour out of the tavern onto the snow covered street and Taylor finds himself in direct melee. Kar-Draith does what he can to fire arrows just out of their reach. As Charger rams into the first group more claw members peer out from a building across the street.
The expedition leaders send their troops over including a cleric. Even as Taylor swings his staff wildly at the pressing soldiers there is a howl and a flash.
As Charger ran up, the stray dog sniffed at the body then saw what was happening. Several dozen Emerald Claw members including a cleric are here. The very people he was looking for. The dog begins to charge and morph. From four legs he goes to two and pulls out a large sword. The Hound Archon teleports into the melee. No one burns down his church and rapes and pillages his town. No one!
The soldier’s leaders are much harder to take down in the tavern. They have better skills and training and have their weapons on them. Diana and Gears continue to attack. Diana only now realizes Taylor is not behind her.
Taylor goes down in a bloody mess. Even once down, the soldiers continue to beat on the old man. They recognize a mage when they see one. Take him down now or he may fireball you later.
The snow turns red.
Kar-Draith wonders only for a few moments where the dog man came from. He has seen Gnolls before, this is no gnoll. He has a keen sense that he will not like him however.
Charger presses on along with the Holy warrior. The Archon wants to go after the cleric and the other leaders but cannot. If he does, he cannot save the old man or the others. Bearing his canine teeth, he keeps after the soldiers.
The leaders, including a familiar man, turn and run behind the buildings. Other soldiers coming out of the tavern see the Archon and also decide to flee. Several remain however and they delay the group from pursuit or seeing to the sorcerer.
Kar-Draith and the Archon work their way back to the sorcerer’s body. A grey skinned, thin haired humanoid wearing Taylor’s clothes lays in the bloody snow. A Changeling!
Taylor, a changeling, is dead.
