B6: The Veiled Society - IC

[jkason]

Barek Fhald, half-orc bard

Barek holds his blood-covered axe with obvious threat, but the red-head's apparent surrender stays his hand. He points to his throat to indicate he expects the caster to dismiss his silence, though he follows that up by pointing to the red-head himself and putting his fingers to his lips: drop the magical silence, but I still don't want to hear anything from you.

When the silence falls, the first thing Barek does is wave his hand over his axe blade and whisper a spell. All evidence of the blade's use is wiped away, except for swordsman on the floor.

"I do not like violence, but you may notice I am not opposed to it. Sonnos and the Veiled gathering. Now," he says, his orcish heritage exaggerated by his obvious ire at having had to access it in the battle.

As she sees combat end, Celythia drops her hand, figuring that no further use of force is required. She maintains her position blocking the exit, waiting to see what the red-headed spell caster has to say.

Rezak retrieves the drop mace and for a moment looks like he wants to bash the redheaded cleric over the skull with it. He stands brooding but says nothing.

Soon the silence ends.

The red-haired man says "You want the man who ran through here? I can show you where he probably went. Shall we step outside?" He indicates the street exit.

[sblock=HM]Rezak recognizes the man's voice. He is the same spellcaster who tried to induct you into the Veiled Society.[/sblock]

OOC: Let me club him, let me club him...

Rezak starts as the red-headed spellcaster speaks. "Twas you's!" he nearly shouts. "You and yuir ilk gots me run'n firm shadows and jump'n at closed doors." The rogue looks to the rest of the group and states

"He be'n one of does masked men wha' tried ta get me tae kill the Toren' fellow. He be a Veil'd member!"

Once Caridoc is sure that the swordsman is not going to die, he gets up saying "He's stable. So we'll leave him and his friends can heal him."


Not trusting "Red", Caridoc tries to determine if he is trying to mislead then or lead them in to a trap.

 

[Rhun]

At the man's words about stepping outside, Celythia gives a casual glance around her. Standing at the street exit as she was, she was keen on making sure there was no immediate danger outside.

[sblock=ghostcat]'Red' seems a little too eager to get out into the street.[/sblock]

The singing from the tavern has largely stopped as people turn to look at the action. However, Mario's men give stern warnings for no one to get involved, and then crowd past the curtain and close it.

Barek Fhald, half-orc bard

Barek lifts an eyebrow as Rezak identifies the man. "Goodness, but you folk are desperate, aren't you?" he says. He hums the sea shanty softly under his breath as he pauses before taking Red up on his offer.
