J. Alexander's Four Lands Part 2, redux

Tetsu

Tetsu will also say his goodbyes and make for the boarding house. Once arrangements have been made, he'll find his way to his room and retire for the evening. Assuming his sleep is undisturbed, he'll awaken at his usual early hour, go through his morning ablutions and meditations, and head down for breakfast.

Angelo Human Mage

Checking first to see if he has any mail, Angelo will retire upstairs. He will feed his little friends with the goodies from his earlier shopping. He will check the latches, bars locks or whatever the rooming house provides and go to sleep. If undisturbed he will awaken a little later than usual and engage in his usual studies, then his toilet and finally make his way down for a late breakfast.
 

Breakfeast

The trio reassembles at breakfeast the next morning somewhat tired and unrested. No one it appears from the polite opening statements slept well. A sense of restlessness and anxiety seemed to have gripped each one of the party members leading to the tossing and turning thruout the evening night.

Sitting down to a modest meal of bread, cheese and fruit and lite beer the party soon finds themsleves lost in the early monring rush of other patrons sitting down to their meal.
 

Angelo Human Mage

Rubbing his tired eyes, Angelo eats a modest breakfast. "So what shall we do today gentlemen? I'm tempted to find an apothecary to produce a remedy that will promote restful sleep. I fear my restless night was the result of a surfeit of exotic food and drink. Mayhap a day of moderation will be enough produce more satisfactory sleep?" Despite his words, Angelo's eye considers another serving before he continues. "Tetsu, we spoke of a costume to blur your race yesterday. Should we seek a costumer’s shop today?"
 

Breakfeast

As Angelo makes his comments the door to the tavern burst open. In the doorway is a man who appears to be fending off a group of attackers. From the vantage point of being behind him, the trio notice that his cloak is of a dark greenish black.....and that he appears dressed in leathers....both long sword and short sword are in heavy use as he appears to be successsull defending himself but unable to press the attack.
 

Tetsu

Spying the conflict, Tetsu quickly takes up his staff and moves around the tables to the side of the doorway in which the man is fighting. He'll place himself out of reach of the man's weapons but in a position where he can be seen by the man as he backs further into the entrance. There, he'll wait patiently until he can figure out more of what's going on.
 

Angelo Human Mage

"Ah fate's cruel hand is upon me. This is just the sort of thing that would happen when I complain of ill rest and an aching head." Finishing his beer and rising slowly Angelo takes up a defensive posture, staff at the ready.

For the DM only [sblock]He thinks to his friends, Why am I buying expensive cuts of fish and fresh fruits imported from distant lands to feed you when you don't alert me to a battle on my very doorstep. If it isn't too much trouble drag yourselves from under the covers and off the perch to give me some eyes on the outside?[/sblock]
 

Breakfeast

As Tetsu takes up his position the man catches a glimpse of Tetsu moving in position behind him. With a flurry of blows, Tetsu couts 4 attacts, two from each weapon, the man drops the two opponets before him and whirls outward and to the side in order to place his back against the wall and putting first Tetsu then Angelo in line of sight of the open door. From their vantage point, they see what appears to be a large group of armed men pressing the individually formally standing in the doorway. All appeared to be well armed and the glint of chainmail can be seen. A quick glance shows upwards of 6 opponets in addition to the ones already dead or wounded on the ground. As the man moves outward in order to prevent an attack by Tetsu from behind, he exposes himself to attacks from his opponets and suffers several brutal cuts. "Glad you chose the hard way Marcus, I have always disliked you" can be heard thru the sound of battle.

Roll a spot check for me gentlemen

For Angelo
[sblock]Several mental yawns briefly distract Angelo and the thought of "Nice warm bed, just a few more minutes" To his discomoft however, Angelo is slammed with two images at the same time (Roll a concertration check and a Fortitude Check DC 13 each).[/sblock]
