IC: Dichotomy's Age of Worms Redux, Part IV

[o3caudata]

Kushnak lumbers toward the thieves and shakes his head at Bazrim's attempt at controlling the situation. "Strange that after attempting to kill him, you'd wish the law to solve your problems." he says snidely. "You'd do best to not move." he says to the blind man as he passes him.

[sblock=oc] Double move 60', such that he's 10' due S of R[/sblock]

Eskard moves to the blind man and holds his sword ready.

[sblock=oc]move 10' S. Ready to smash him(non-leathally) if he moves[/sblock]

 

[Dichotomy]

Bazrim moves to the fallen man and picks up the short sword.

As Kushnak strides past the blind man, the man frantically turns his head. "Sald?" he questions to no response. With a muttered curse, he drops his sword. He nearly gasps as Eskard then closes, too.

Nethezar strides to Erdolliel, and his touch sends healing power into the elf. The scholar nods from Erdolliel to the now-safe woman. "Better you than him," Nethezar says, jutting a thumb at Bazrim.

As if portended by Kushnak, from down the street, you see a group of what is clearly guards. They are being lead by a rotund man wearing a painfully bright outfit that could only fit in a carnival. As he gets close, he cries in a high-pitch voice, "No... No! It's dead!"

While the rotund man scurries to the chimera, the guards quicken their pace to reach the party and the pickpockets.
[sblock=OOC]Combat is over, for the moment. Erdolliel gets healed 20 hps. The bleeding guy bleeds; 32 damage.[/sblock]

"If you wanted it alive you should have been a tad brighter on it's enclosure... The elf mutters as she waits for any authority that may come around.

"Oh! If you dig a little deeper in his pockets, you should find your wand, dwarf." Erdolliel adds as an afterthought

 

[o3caudata]

Kushnak kneels to the unconscious man and mumbles a prayer. "Everyone. Weapons away, stand your ground, and keep your comments to yourself for the time. I have a feeling we're going to have a good deal of explaining to do."

Eskard follows instructions, putting his sword away and taking a step back from the blinded foe.

Bazrim looks down the street, seeing the guards on their way, he thinks it's best to wait for them to show up, instead of looking like a thief himself. He turns to Erdolliel, "That information might help keep us out of jail."

 

[TiCaudata]

Erdolliel rolls her eyes at her companions' antics, but is sure to sheathe her sword and stow her bow, leaving her buckler on her arm though. "These guards are more likely from the circus than from the city, but safety first I suppose.

[sblock=OOC]CLW heals 11 hps. 1 is conscious again.[/sblock]
As the guards approach, one of them, clearly the leader, calls out, "Hold, all of you!" Upon closer view, it is fairly obvious that these are, indeed, city patrols of some type. Their armor is of uniform make and design, and the leader bears an insignia of some sort.

"I'm Watch Captain of this district, and someone had better have a good explanation for all this."

Immediately, almost speaking top of the captain, the pickpockets simultaneously cry out, "They cursed my eyes!" and "They tried to kill me!"

 

[TiCaudata]

"Not until after they tried to walk off with my short companion's wand. THAT one still has it." Erdolliel punctuates her statement by spitting on the ground in front of the thief that took the wand.[sblock=oc]yeah... #1[/sblock]

"If we wanted to kill you, we would have let you die. We kept you alive because we respect the laws of this city. You were given the opportunity to help us against the Chimera that got loose. You care not for the safety of those who live in this city. Now all we want is to get our wand back and be on our way, and let the law take care of you." Bazrim gestures to the city guard once he finishes his lecture and waits for word from the head guard.
