[QUOTE="Sic_Pixie, post: 5930845, member: 52403"] [b]Grembor an attempted mugging[/b] Shrugging to himself he starts wandering back towards the town center and better streets which are paved. Squelching down the roadway the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end as his sixth sense tells him that there is something wrong; people are looking at him in a strange way, furtive and frightened as if they don’t want to associate with him. In a slightly cleaner window than its neighbors he notices the shadowy flittering figure of someone following behind. Without thinking he dives for the nearest dark alleyway and proceeds to scamper up the wall of the crumbling tenement. Gaining the roof he is surprised as the business end of a crossbow is thrust into his face; it’s sharply pointed quarrel glinting merrily in the sunlight. Hearing the scramble of someone climbing up the wall behind him he relaxes for a moment until the assailant behind him is near the top. With lightning speed he moves agilely to the side and knocks the crossbow aside and down as it fires its thumb thick steel tipped bolt directly into the upturned face of the assailant climbing the wall. With a meaty thunk the bolt passes through his head causing it to explode like a ripe melon and the body drops limply to the ground below. Grembor whips out his dagger and slashes the crossbow holder across his shoulder as he looks on in dismay as he shot his friend in the head. With a roar and rage in his eyes he throws the crossbow at Grembor and whips out a long wickedly curved dagger and attempts to dissect the half elf with it. However the knife slips past Grembor who slaps the hand away and follows through with his own blade directly into his eye; the blade jarring to a halt as the tip impacts upon the inside of his skull.
