[QUOTE="megamania, post: 7182248, member: 9255"] THE HIDDEN: BEYOND NEW WATER 01 WORK COMMUTE SEGMENT 099 “PASSAGE INTO ELDEEN: PRELUDE PART VI” 7/18/17 Barrakas 18, 978 “TAVERN” IN RHUKAAN DRAAL, DARGUUN The Bloody Nail is a rough (even for Darguun) tavern. It is late in the day and rather quiet still. Several hobgoblins are sitting together drinking. They are in a somber and quietly angry mood. They have received word their chieftain was killed in his sleep within Breland. An assassin from Cyre is the believed killer. A slender woman walks in. At first glance they think she is an elf and snarl and tense up when seeing her. However, her odd dress and hairstyle suggests she is a Kalashtar. Not much better but their obscene use of her mind keeps their weapons leaning against the tables and chairs. She steps up to a stool and frowns at the stains and damage on it. Mentally she sits above the stool rather than on it. In goblin she asks what is happening in Darguun and Khorvaire at this point. The bugbear bartender stares at her to determine if she is kidding. She is not. “War. Killing. Death.” “How boring. War War War everywhere.” She answers. “And him?” She points to a passed out hobgoblin in the corner. A hobgoblin grunts out “Him? Hahah. That is Druugos. He only drinks.” “Truly. But I see a good soul…. Just lost in his own private…. War you could say.” The hobgoblins miss her slim attempt at humor. They grunt a non-committal grunt and go about their own drinks. She stares at him for several more minutes before leaving. That night, Druugos awakens and stumbles out of the tavern to relieve himself. The three hobgoblins from before stop when they see him in the alley of the broken buildings. “You have money? We want more drink.” “Go…. Away. Please.” Says the slender hobgoblin. “I wish to piss in peace.” “You have money. We have thirst. We need to honor our chieftain until the morning.” Small clubs slide into view in their hands. They rush him.

The three would-be robbers turn and reveal a tall winged creature. To the glassy eyes of Druugos, it is an angel. One hobgoblin suddenly is air born.
