Hilmdyn, Rovan, Edvan, Quinn

Hilmdyn healed Quinn until there was not even a bruise left on his body. The four men quickly pulled down the net and rolled it up to carry. Three of the spikes were left nailed in place since they were fixed tight, but Rovan grabbed the loose spike that had glanced off of him. The question became, what was Lola doing and where should they try to meet her...

OOC: Good call on grabbing the net. :) I was so going to use that if you hadn't grabbed it...
 


Edvan quickly retrieves his weapons, then moves to the sleeping horse. He reaches down and pats the beast gently on the neck. "I'm sorry," he murmurs. "It wasn't supposed to happen like this." Softly he feels for the large vein in the neck and cuts it. He gets up and helps his friends pull down the net. "Let's get the hells out of here before the guard shows up!"
 

Lola

Erin and you kept running and didn't stop until the sound of battle is long behind you. You slowed down so as not to look suspicious to the city guard as you grow closer to the more lighted areas. That's when you felt the chest in your sack. It seemed solid, but with a lock on the front bolting it shut. Erin asked with a smile and winded breath, "Oi! That was both exciting and unexpected. What now?"

"We circle around town a little bit to make sure we're not followed then we head home. The others will meet us there I'm sure. It was odd that there just happened to be another group there tonight..."


Lola did as she said and began taking a long and out of the way route back to their apartment. She kept a wary eye out for anyone suspicious following them but she also kept a wary eye on Erin. She never trusted anyone and she certainly wasn't going to start with him. The chest would wait to be opened and she just hoped that the others, if they didn't have to run off right away, would check the cart to make sure this was actually the right chest.[/sblock]
 


Edvan did his regretful deed, while the horse did not budge until its final death throes. Quinn and company glanced at the upturned cart, but the rank smell of trash mingled with what seemed to be the scent of unwashed men dissuaded them from a fruitful search. The thought of the city guards coming to investigate was enough to send them straight home.

Lola and Erin took the long way home, meaning that she reached their home last despite two of the male Wilders hauling the netting over their shoulders the entire way back. Both groups ran into their fair share of the curious people of the night, but no Wilder was stopped and asked what they were hauling home or why.

The men did not wait too long at home, either, much to Rovan's relief. Rovan, Edvan, Quinn, and Hilmdyn had just pushed the netting into a corner of the main bedroom when they heard Erin outside the door asking Lola, "Ah, so this is where you call home. Quite quaint." The knob was turned and in came a triumphantly smiling Lola, chest-filled sack in hand. She joined the men at their normal discussion place... around the bedrolls and near-empty flooring of their living room. There, under lantern light, Lola took the chest from the sack and put it in the center of the floor. It was of dwarven make, carved from dark, reddish wood and closed with a black iron lock that was wrought into the shape of a curled serpent.
 

"Oh crap," Lola swore, taking note of the serpent. The last time she had to deal with snakes... "And I wonder what kind of wood this is. Looks like a nice, sturdy chest."

She retrieved her thieves tools and knelt next to the chest. She rubbed her ruby pendant a few times, her new lucky charm, before attempting to open the chest.
 

Quinn pulls out a gold coin and bites it to ward off any lurking evil spirits, then makes a sign in the air with it to gather the good luck left behind, stolen by the evil beings.
