New City, Silverbow Inn:
"It... is too... late," Shylock mumbles. "The Loyalists will, overwhelm... the half-ogre and guardsman, but if they fail," he gasps. "Others will find them. The other guild members are already on their way."
Akos can tell that the man's nose is broken and his jaw is cracked. He's lost several teeth.
A few patrons that had been hiding upstairs come back down. Several of them blanch upon seeing the dead body of the assassin. Mutt growls at them and they either flee out the back or back upstairs. Thorkell rushes back in through the front of the inn with half a dozen Bluffside Regulars in tow.
"Hands up! Drop your weapons!" One of them yells. Mutt growls at them in anger.
"No, no," Thorkell yells. "They're not the attackers." he points to the men on the floor. "Those are the villains."
The guards relax a bit. One of them checks the fallen assassin but shakes his head. "He's dead."
"Where is the woman?" Thorkell asks Akos while scanning the inn.
"What happened here?" Another guard asks Relgar while keeping one eye on Mutt.
Akos carefully pulls the assassin's short sword from Shylock's back and turns him over. Shylock is still alive but barely. The man is at the edge of consciousness. He groans and his eyes flicker open and then closed. Akos is able to bind the worst of Shylock's injuries.Akos calls after the departing assasssin "Bring your silver weapons along with some friends!"
He turns quickly and enters the magical dome. Surveying the situation, he checks on Shylock. If possible he stabilizes the man, who knows what he can tell now that he is broken. But the information will go stale quickly once Teresa reaches the guild.
Neurotic said:"We need to find others and quickly. If you're wounded, speak now. We need to go."
Relgar spares the wounded man one more glance, a disgusted look on his face which he doesn't bother trying to conceal, even though he could do so with the tiniest thought thanks to his Illusion mask. "What's the emergency?" he queries of the other arcanist.
"Didn't you hear Shylock?! They are targeting all of the group and some other besides. Maybe they didn't yet find them. And I'd rather be behind an Elite when the killers come next time." Akos answers getting Shylock in manacles.
Ooc: the other assassin is dead? Is Shylock?
