Death in Freeport

[Voadam]

Anton and Arcata keep back from the battling orc for the moment.

Scarbelly whirls his axe slicing around in a great circle, his whole body behind the blow. The clouds wisely flit back a step to avoid the blows though they still block the orc's path out of the tavern. "Hold still you gnats!" he roars.

Justin draws forth his waterskin and contemplates how it might hold such a gaseous creature, though how to get it inside the container is a knotty conundrum.

Aided by Justin and encouraged by his voice, Wilbur continues to stumble away deeper into the shadows out of the view of the enraged orc.

The jackal man Dogrynn starts to tear back inside to engage the clouds again with his cutlass.

Dogrynn comes back mad; he lashes out at the nearest cloud with a viscious swing of his cutlass.

[Voadam]

The cloud that backed away from Scarbelly's axe flew right into the path of Dogrynn's cutlass. The blade slices into the gaseous creature deeply, disrupting its elemental form and smoke starts to pour out of the gash, though it is not entirely destroyed yet.

Logan

If there is chance Logan shoots the clouds with his crossbow.

OOC: He is careful not to hit anyone so there may not be opportunity to hit one.

 

[Le Noir Faineant]

Seeing that the fight is turning around again, Justin will retreat back to the latrine...

And without much further addo, push Wilbur into the puddle of s***.
- To hide him there, obviously.

 

[Walking Dad]

Wilbur gets pushed into the puddle of s*** by Justin.

[sblock=Ivid]Vielen Dank? [/sblock]

 

[Voadam]

Logan carefully maneuvers and is careful to aim so as not to line up any but the clouds with his crossbow and lets fly. Though his caution pays off in not hitting any allies, he fails to strike the animate smoke clouds either. The bolt thunks solidly into one of the beams on the far wall.

The clouds press their attack on the orc and swiftly land more blows upon his girth. Frustration radiates off his green skin as the clouds continue to block him.

Outside Wilbur and Justin can no longer see the smoky form of the wizard and Wilbur is safely ensconced in the shadows of an outside alley.

[Graybeard]

Still unsure whether to trust the orc or not, Anton strides forward nonetheless and stabs his rapier at one of the clouds.

[Voadam]

Still unsure whether to trust the orc or not, Anton strides forward nonetheless and stabs his rapier at the leaking cloud. Making it looks easy he stabs into the cloud and draws out the blade, catching the elemental binding that held it together. The smoke pours out uncontrolled now and it loses all cohesion.

With a roar Scarbelly whirls his axe and cleaves through the last cloud now pinned between Anton and him. The blow connects solidly and cleaves it in two , all the bound smoke escapes in a formless mass to mix with the hazy interior of the tavern. Eyeing Anton dubiously for a second he races to the entrance and looks out shouting to Dogrynn "Where's that bony wizard now? I'll crack the marrow out of him for soup!" as he eyes up and down the nearby alleys.

Logan

OOC: Sorry about rolls, I stated Logan's action and figured if it comes to pass you'll roll, Voadam. I'll roll in the future.

Logan peeks outside trying to spot the wizard.

It seems he fled for now. I'm thinking he might return later with more dangerous spells, but for now we are at peace.

Turning back inside and coming to orc captain.
My name is Logan Artimus, coming from Seven Towers. I was looking for captain Scarbelly famous for obtaining things. Also, before I could approach you, that wizard interferred, but I overheard you mention Lucius. He is fellow researcher and sage and we are worried about him. I'd very much like to talk to him.

Once Dogrynn returns:
I apologize for immobilizing you, I wasn't sure about effect wizard put you to. I was worried that he would pick you outside alone or that you will attack anyone on your path. Do I have your forgiveness?
