Lucky shot. Won't happen again thinks Harolk as soon he can shake the agony from his mind, while at the same time twirling his own blades looking for Lorien's flesh.
"First blood shed was yours, my friend. What did you do with Silas?" asks.
Lorien looks a little startled when Harolk returns with a question and a quip rather than shrieking in agony, but then his gaze narrows. "
No concern of yours, murderer. Maybe he'll say something nice at your funeral," he snaps. Harolk whips Orange Crush around and his other blade up, the first scoring the wily elf on the thigh, digging deep. True blood-red stains Lorien's outfit as the crowd gasps.
Tondrek wracks his brain, then realizes that usually these protective sheilds only work in one plane, usually vertically. This is only a round wall, not a dome. Sparky could be sent
over the wall to get in.
Hxaptos, you keep scanning the crowd and spy something else. A tall and slender elf, dressed in shimmering indigo robes, is being held back from the crowd by two human men. As the elf struggles weakly, you can see he is rather old, but his trying to call something above the noise of the crowd, and failing miserably.

[sblock=Layferi]"I thank you," Mel says, with a weak smile. "Your feelings for my... my sister must be strong, and you honor her memory in taking on such a struggle."
She will tell Layferi all she knows about Arden and the Illuminated Minds.
Once she is done, "Layferi, I don't truely know what happened to Melphina, but when you are done, find out. She deserves to have the truth known. I, however, am in danger untill that happens. I will be leaving soon, to start a new life. Perhaps, someday, I will write you again, but I must watch for my safety first. Father is relentless, and surely will be after me."[/sblock]

Mel... Please, if you're not just a friendly ghost, I would very much like that," Layferi says, his eyes wet with tears. He leans in and kisses her gently, then slowly backs away, into the crowd.[/sblock] Mel, Rayni, and Bail are also watching the fight, and can see that Lorien looks astoundingly determined. He doesn't look as much angry as focused, his face hard and purposed.
OOC: A palpable hit with a 21, doing 10 points of damage, Harolk. Lorien misses you this time around.
