KILLER IN KALIDNAY
RAVENLOFT / DARKSUN
SEGMENT 107

The bar keep looks up "What I can getcha?" Looking about, it is nice and well kept, the bartender's grasp of common seems poor. A few merchants and sons of nobles are talking. One kid takes note of the group and the question asked. The guy nods towards the kid. The kid gives a sheepish grin when Jayde smiles wide and looks his way.

Meanwhile, outside, the 1/2 giant hears a bit of noise behind a short (8ft tall) wall that leads to the alley behind the Tavern. Curious noises...especially to a 1/2 giant.

 

[Argent Silvermage]

Socrates smiles and says "Good sir, I appriciate your choice to bar Half Gaints from the insides of your fine establishment. I however have a bodyguard whom I need to keep near my personage. May we have a table taken outside so that we can partake of your goods and services without violating your Inn's rules?" He has a rather full money purse in his hands as he says this, absently jingling the coins inside.

 

[Jarval]

Odten quietly follows the others into the tavern, disquieted by the sign banning half-giants. He's been subjected to enough prejudice in his life to know that it's unlikely to stop at just one race...

 

[Guest 11456]

Andus, feeling curious, peers over the wall to see what might make such noises.

Andus, feeling curious, peers over the wall to see what might make such noises.

Seeing Andus leaving the doorway, Adament walk to the doorway.

"Andus, have you seen someting unusual?"

 

[dead_radish]

Tallask stands uneasily at the door, his longspear in his hand. He watches the inn's patrons warily, and steps quickly outside when he sees the half-giant and his companion speaking - he'd much rather be under the open sky right now....

SEGMENT 108

The young man of about 16 years of age walks directly up to Jayde. He ignores the others. I am Nobleman Jafarr. I own this fine establishment. What is your name most beautiful lady? He reaches for her hand while dipping slightly.

Several workers come from the back prepared to attend to the young master's orders.

Outside, the 1/2 giant has the luck of being able to see over the wall. He looks over and sees a short figure standing over a prone figure. A thin long nobby tail protrudes from under the figure's cape. It freezes reliezing someone is watching. He turns just enough to make eye contact. Little beady eyes stare at big beady eyes. The creature scurries away around the back of the building.

The prone figure has been stabbed and bleeds badly. His purse emptied. The gold and silver coins remain on the ground however.

This is when the others reach the 1/2 giant's side.

Socrates is obviously not taking this well. He says nothing but he goes very red in the face.

 

[Velmont]

The mule arrives next to the giant, who seem to fix something over the wall.

Well?

As the half-giant seem no to answer, the mule try to pull himself over the wall, so he can look at what his companion stare. When his head come over the wall, the shadow of the thief was long gone.

"Another day under the sun..."

The mule finish to drag himself over the wall and jump on the other side.

"I should not be here, it is not my business."

The mule kneel near the bleeding man.

"I should leave all that there... And someone should get a templar."

If the bleeding man is still alive, I try to stop the bleeding.

 

[Guest 11456]

Andus watches as the figure scurries away and then watching his companion climb over the wall. Then the half-giant walks around the end of the wall and looks at the prone figure curiously. Turning to the mul, Andus asks,

"Man OK?"
