Heroes, Inc. : Rasheman

[DM_Matt]

Waiting on Dyria.

 

[Falkus]

Dyria will move in and try to trip both men threatening Kayla, shouting at them to stay down once they hit the floor. She'll have her whip deal nonlethal damage for the moment.

Sorry lad, I know you want to do something as much as I do. Best we can hope for is for this to succeed. Naverone rumbles, sorely displeased at how this day is turning out. The next time they meet with that Nightmare riding Thayan, they will be far better prepared. He vowed silently that the Rashemi witches who sacrificed themselves and Barnak would be remembered and avenged. In the meantime he prayed, insomuch as a demon could pray, to Selune and Helm both, that his companions who yet lived would come back safely.

ooc
I know Selune is chaotically inclined and having a LG, sanctified demon serving her would seem kinda weird. It could be that Naverone is being given a choice on who to serve. I'm thinking that Helm or Torm would be a good choice, especially considering that Naverone's past actions reflect more of a guiding/protecting personae than anything else. Heck, the only times he's manifested fully is when either innocents, Alethia or his own team mates are in dire peril and can't help themselves.

Dyria pulls out her whip and strikes at the two bad guys in the way, wrapping around their legs, pulling them down, ipping the whip away, and slashing them more while they are down. Murdoch follow up with blasts of acid that continue to harm the downed men and wound one of the others. Maggie casts a spell and the lead warrior's eyes glow blue. He tackles the only other stnding attacker and begins pummeling him. The bartender jumps over the bar and buries his axe into one of the downed ones as he starts to get up, dropping him. A bouncer runs accorss the room and bashes the other downed on over the head with a large club. Another bouncer charges over to do the same. Murdoch charges in, grabs Kayla, and dimension doors away. Maggie blasts three bolts of fire at the one non-dominated attacker, blowing three holes in his back. He falls dead. The dominated leader stands mute as the bartender takes a rope and ties his hands. The other two on the ground are quickly tied by the bouncers. Meanwhile, just about everyone runs out of the tavern in response to the mayhem.

The rest of you run out. Kayla opens her eyes a bit and says hazily "MMmm..Murdoch? Itsh...its real bad..I really messhed up...he'd dead...my brother'ths dead. Help me up...gotta get home." She starts to stand, but clearly needs help.

 

[DM_Matt]

Biznump.

 

[kirinke]

Naverone shakes his non-existant head at the news, not too surprised. If her brother was Tiger clan and still loyal to Rashemi, then in all likelyhood they would have and indeed did kill him.

The rest of you run out. Kayla opens her eyes a bit and says hazily "MMmm..Murdoch? Itsh...its real bad..I really messhed up...he'd dead...my brother'ths dead. Help me up...gotta get home." She starts to stand, but clearly needs help.

Murdoch grabs Kayla and helps her stand. With a tone of concern, he says"Not now, Kayla, you're in no shape to do anything. What happened to your brother, and did you learn anything about the resistance?"

When the others regroup, Murdoch looks at Maggie and says: "Can you teleport us to the temple? We're easy targets here in the open."

Its fine, but you miscalculated AC. Add it up again.

Murdoch grabs Kayla and helps her stand. With a tone of concern, he says"Not now, Kayla, you're in no shape to do anything. What happened to your brother, and did you learn anything about the resistance?"

When the others regroup, Murdoch looks at Maggie and says: "Can you teleport us to the temple? We're easy targets here in the open."

Before everyone else catches up, Kayla says

"I'm ok...just a little bump on the head...jusht a little dizzy...ok, so I'm drunk," she finally admits, giggling, and resting her head on Murdoch's shoulder.

He mood shifts suddenly, and she starts cying. "Its my fault my brother is dead...my fault this town is soooo screwed up. He didn't pass the tests...to get into the berserker lodges...I knew the captain of the guard here was on the take from a group of criminals...the corrupt Tiger Clan leaders...I made a deal...my brother got in and the evidence against the corrupt captain, against Geberath, disappeared when I took down the gang. But all I did was eliminate his competition. He rebuit it, as the new leader, since I so thoughtfully executed the previous leader for him. He gave me until this time tomarrow to agree to work for him, or he'd let my people know what I've done....they'll kill me! I'm so sorry...so sorry..."

The rest arrive where Murdoch and Kayla are, and Maggie teleports everyone back to the temple.
