Message: <blockquote data-quote="Cerebral Paladin" data-source="post: 2836583" data-attributes="member: 3448">About a third of the way back to the palace, two black-furred ratmen leapt out from either side of the roadway. One of the ratmen charged directly at Mother Honore, crying "Die, servant of light!" and hacked at her brutally with a small but viciously jagged sword. The other ratman called for them to yield to the Horned Lord while it swung its blade at Jet. Our heroes fought back, but the fight was going badly. The advantage of surprise allowed the ratmen to quickly cut down Mother Honore and Jet. Marcus and Kit fought on, hoping that if they won quickly, they would still be able to save their friends' lives. The battle was close, but Marcus and Kit had the advantage of fighting in a city filled with humans. Bystanders, initially stunned by the violence, soon started calling for the guard. Within a minute, a passing mage began casting magic missiles and acid arrows at the skaven. Between his attacks, the creatures Marcus summoned, and Kit's attacks, one of the two ratmen finally collapsed.At that point, a drow emerged from the expansive townhouse outside of which the battle raged, and with a glare unleashed a powerful psionic concussive blast that shattered the body of the remaining skaven. While Kit and Marcus bandaged their friends, the drow psionicist approached. "I'm terribly sorry that you were menaced outside my establishment. You have the apologies of my House."Marcus looked up at the psionicist. "What house might that be?""I have the honor of being the Canberry factor for the House of Hetland.""Oh, really?" Kit replied. "I think then you should speak with the head of our household.""Of course. Who would that be?""Lord Alistair, the Lord Regent of Canberry."The dark skin of the drow tends to maintain an even tone regardless of mood, but even so, a certain pallor on the factor's face was unmistakeable.</blockquote>
