Ravin instructs the Lantern archon to attack the Orc and ogre-mage while he makes his escape.

The masked swordsman throws a couple tanglefoot bags in front of the Orcs approaching Ravin, and both get stuck and trip. The Archon fires its rays at the OGM, wounding him, but the OGM opens hit mouth and breathes out a blast of freezing air that dismisses the Archon. Meanwhile, Ravin and the masked swordsman run away, moving through the back allys of town, eventually losing the OGM. The maskes swordsman leads Ravin to a door. He presses his hand against it, and it unlocks and opens. Inside there are several beds, a table and chairs, a stove, and stacks of books, papers, supplies, and equiptment strewn about. He takes of fhis mask, revealing a rather young man, with a round face, black hair, brown, and almond-shaped eyes, apparently of mixed ancestry between northern and far eastern (Shou? Khazari?) (Knowledge (Geography) check = 36). He begins cleaning off his swords, and you notice something odd about them (K(Geo)30, K(Hist) 25). One is a Katana, the standard weapon of the Samurai, the noble warriors of the east. Usually, Samurai carry a second, smaller sword called a Wakizashi, but his smaller sword is in fact a Ninja-to, the weapon of the Ninja, dishonorable assassins, the exact opposite of a samurai.

He introduces himself: "My name is Fin Kinbota. Now that we are clear of the authorities, I have some questions for you. What do you think of the current political situation in Luskan, the collaborationist regime?"

<Fin gets up, grabs a flask of a slightly glowey bluish liquid, and opens a liquer cabinet.> He adds: What do you want with your healing potion?>

Mechothli looks toward Jonathan, ready to follow his lead.

ooc: if Jonathan follows Rannos and Ravin, Mechothli will as well.

Jonathan grabs Mecholithi by the amr "Lets go!" he says, as he runs towards the woods.

Guards continue to swarm to the defenses. One of the elves lights an arrow on fire (just in case it misses), and fires it at the flask. The arros hits directly, shattering the flask and causing its contents to explode in a firey blast. This sets off a chain reaction within the wagon (you arent sure what else was in it), causing it to explode outwards in the most intense explosion that either of you have ever seen. So powerful it the blast that it causes the tunnel to collapse, and the gatehouse on top goes with it. The tunnel doors fly into the city as flaming shrapnel. The collapsing center of the gatehouse begins to take the towers in its corners with it. Oil to be poured down upon invaders is set alight and leaks throght the cracks onto guards below. Stores of smokepoweder for the cannons explode. Suddenly, all the elves in the woods transform into uniformed orcs, and they run with supernatural speed (about twice as fast as you guys can run) into the smoke and flaming rubble....
 

"Until about 10 minutes ago I could not have been bothered, but now..." Ravin looks around making sure Alex had made it with him. "Oh, uh, sorry, yes um the stoutest ale or the most fiery alcohol." Ravin will take what ever happens to be offered and downs it in a single gulp.

Fin mixes his own drink, then sets it aside and takes down a flask of red-orange liquid, and mixes it with a healing potion. He takes the drinks to the table: "Hows Rashemi firewine sound? Not the REAL firewine, of course, being that I still have a use for you tonight, but the weakened stuff that Westerners drink and THINK is firewine."

Ravin gulps it down, and finds it very much to his liking. Its name it much deserved (heals 29 dmg, hp --> 34/50).
