" . . . . It's actually concievable that the guards might even be able to catch up to them, assuming they can move a bit faster."

"I feared such a thing might happen were one of us to go get the guard," Zykovian commented. "I think this won't be the last encounter with the rosethorns these evening."[/sblock]
OOC: Waiting to see what was still here, and if the guard will pursue. If not, Zykovian will apologize for their trouble (ask for their pager # ) and offer to pursue the targets with them [/sblock]

"So no hug then?"
[/SBLOCK]
*The pink-haired girl pouts. Then in both languages:*
[SBLOCK]
"Right this way, over here, see, there's the High Priestess and the Grand Inquisitor of the Cathedral. Everyone say hi!"
[/SBLOCK]
*Then she speaks to the two in a language that none of the three can understand. The High Priestess looks in concern, stepping forward to heal the three, turning her attention to Melody first, but as her hand touches the Rowaini girl it recoils as if bitten by a viper. She screams something to the Inquisitor who nods and grips the hilt of her sword.*

*The acolyte who led you in says, in Mojiin:*
[SBLOCK]
"Mhrazhar, help! Melody is Tainted and must be captured. She is an Eldritch Infiltrator, and they have a special ability to hide the Taint, but the High Priestess and the Grand Inquisitor have sensed it. But please, don't kill her! We want to help her repent her evil ways and become good!"

[OOC: Melody recovers all her lost HP]

"No, my sister. You are not hiding your true self, but rather showing aspects of yourself in a different way. The secret is that it is like the lingerie I gave you...it captivates men by hinting at something more without giving everything away all at once. It is like when you seek pleasure with someone, you often build up, starting first with slow gentle caresses like you did with me before building to passionate ardour. So just like with pleasure of the body, giving a little bit at a time instead of all at once is a fun game that you can play with your fashion ensemble."

"Wait, so the bodies were stolen by a dangerous criminal who fights better than this Rowaini Swashbuckler?" one of the guards asks, "Well, I'm very sorry, Sir Zykovian, but we've come here off-duty to help you out, and I, for one, have a wife and family who need my support. I just don't think we could succeed where the Rowaini failed, and I'm afraid I can't afford for my family's sake to risk my life like that when its not even my job right now."

"Well, it's two wounded women, heavily loaded down, who left ten minutes ago. If you don't think all of you together can take them, then we might as well go get healing for Zykovian and myself instead."

I just don't think we could succeed where the Rowaini failed, and I'm afraid I can't afford for my family's sake to risk my life like that when its not even my job right now."

Zykovian nodded in complete understanding. "Not a problem gentlemen, I appreciate your help and your time . . . even if it was for nothing this time."

Approaching the Patrol Leader, Zykovian and handed him a few coins, "Time is money, and I don't want you to forget about me if I need you in the future. Thanks again."

**Rystil Only**[sblock]Zykovian handed him 10 gold for his and his patrol's troubles. He knew enough to let the leader divvy up the reward[/sblock]
Looking to Fedowin, he asked, "Now what, you want to go after them ourselves, wait for the others, or even head them off. Getting some healing for ourselves might not be such a bad idea."[/SBLOCK]

Zykovian and Fedowin:
[SBLOCK]
*To Fedowin*
"I'm sorry, but this is off-hours, and we just don't want to risk chasing after these people...if you bounty hunters couldn't nab em, they would eat us alive."
[/SBLOCK]

"as eager as I am for a return bout or two with that woman, if I try and even walk too fast this wound will open up and I'll be falling fast. They are a distraction from our goal, an obstacle we do not need to face at the moment. I say we meet the others in the faith ward and get healed, then continue on the trail we had been chasing. The RoseThorns will have thier reckoning coming later."

*To Zykovian*

"Thank you, sir Zykovian. I hope you find the ones you seek," the patrol leader says, "All right men, thanks for your time. Let's go home."

*And with that they leave.*
