Round 1 recap
Marda turns to the newcomers, and swears in dwarven as she takes a step forward. Her left forearm glows in a silvery radiance from beneath the clothing.
"I call forth your power this night Gracenyes, give us aid as we do battle!" She then casts
bless as the radiance momentarily bursts forth to engulf the room and each ally feels uplifted and energized. She then stares at the two thugs at the door threatening the group,
"I counter your offer and will give you the option to flee, now!"
"Not likely your pretty little head is worth a hundred gold, let's collect," he says nudging the other man to move towards Torrent.
Barrik spins around when the door is broken open. A low growl issues from his lips at the threat from the thugs. He mumbles,
“You two stay here, in case more come down the stairs.”
The half-orc’s grip on his falchion tightens and a mischievous glint flashes across his eyes.
”You’re outnumbered. Tell me, do you even know what we can do?”
{{Queta'lorn Fias'tra}} he says in the language of magic as he moves his free hand in a small circle and then points behind the thugs.
A golden dog, in a white nimbus, appears out of thin air in the snowy doorway, just behind the thugs. It growls and snaps at the thug’s backside,
nipping him causing the man to roar in pain.
"Wha? Another caster a rich hall this will be." he says steping towards Barrik.
Swinging hard at the half-orc, Barrik
catches the blade with his own, the feel of the vibrating metal bringing a tusky smile to his lips.
Aaron had spun around at the mention of surrendering, casting off the thought with a dismissal. Nodding as Marda grants him favor, as well as watching the half-orc move to meet the new threat, his own powers come to bear, as he meets the gaze of the talkative thug. Moving to where Barrik had stood, he was trained in a certain fashion, and it would seem to be needed now...
"By who's authority?" he asks.
Aaron then defends the stairs, and calls up,
"Come on down... if you care to bleed.. Otherwise, leave... and you shall live." Grunts and booted feet at the top of the steps are the only reply, "Seems more are on the way." Aaron says over his shoulder, raising his sword in a two fisted batter's grip.
Torrent's opponent cathces her off guard as he feints and then brings his blow in hard
connecting with the woman's unprotected face. The gash misses the eye but is still deep and bloody.
Suddenly the sounds from outside are louder, closer.
*thump, thump*
*thump, thump*
*thump*
*BOOM*
The Poison Apple Pub rocks as if struck by a giant warhammer...
Ceiling boards crack and buckle, and the flaming oil spraying around upstairs leaks down into the room like a fiery rain. Overhead, a handful of screams sound out as the remaining scouts are caught in the flaming burst and slain. A dying scout stumbles down the stairs, on fire. The bronze bust of Emperor Coaltongue falls off the wall and lands with a thud.
Marda screams as some of the oil lands on her hand. The flame also catches the thug fighting Barrik but he is hardly aware of it as he stands toe to toe with the big half-orc, eyes and blades locked tight on each other.
Shade dodges out of the way as she sees a burning scout coming rolling down the stairs.
Aaron stares at the scout that tumbled down the stairs like a rolling fireball. Dead and still ablaze Aaron takes his gaze off the crumpled form in the corner and back to the steps. And is shocked to see a half-orc standing at the bottom of the steps staring at the body as well.
A mere second passes as they both come out of their stupors and act. Aaron swings and the half orc ducks. Aarons blade bites deep into the wall
missing his target. Ducking under the weapon, caught in the wall, the half-orc brings his sap up hard and
hits the young man under his chin. Stars fly infront of Aaron's eyes and his tongue explodes in pain from his biting it.
Shade reacts to the to combatants with a
swing of her own. It connects and goes deep into the half-orcs gut causing a
deadly wound.
Torrent with blood all over her face swings
wildly and the thug easily dodges the blow.
At the door way the summoned hound yelps in pain of it's own as two more thugs go to
work on it.
