Message: <blockquote data-quote="Morgaine" data-source="post: 208290" data-attributes="member: 2393">Once hit, Borin becomes delirious with rage, foam spewing from his mouth, and swings his great axe with every ounce of strength he has.  Not only has this beast attacked him, he’s spilt several pints of beer in the process -- both unpardonable offenses.  As a dwarf, Borin has an innate hatred of these hulking creatures.  A fact that becomes obvious when the half-orc stops mid-stride while his head continues its journey, landing with a sploot in the chandelier hanging from the second floor ceiling.   At this, one of the bounty hunters dives out the window, landing in a heap at Deke’s feet. Unfortunately, Deke is too stunned to react and the mercenary leaps to his feet and takes off at a dead run in the opposite direction of town. Realizing this half-elf is faster than he is, Deke activates his ring of jumping, landing at the fleeing man’s feet. Unhappily, because it was a standing jump, Deke barely grabs the man, who trips but keeps running. Fang now begins to pursue Deke and the bounty hunter, quickly gaining ground on his “prey.” Once again, Deke activates his ring of jumping.  In an impressive display of acrobatics, he takes a running leap and lands deftly on the retreating man’s shoulders, tackling him to the ground.  After a brief struggle, Deke pins him down while Fang attacks brutally.  In one swift motion, the rogue slices neatly into his throat with his rapier, killing the stranger instantly. He mutters something about half-breeds as he makes his way back toward the tavern.Another man sails out the back window and disappears around the corner of the building.  Morgaine gives chase only to find him standing just on the other side, panting furiously and obviously terrified.  Chanting quietly, Morgaine methodically and rhythmically waves her hands in front of his eyes.  In seconds, she watches his eyes lose focus and his mouth grow slack. Hypnotized as he is, she commands him to follow her back inside the building, where she ensures that no one attack him while he is under the spell. She also commands him to wipe his chin and is chagrined to realize that, seconds later, he is still wiping.</blockquote>
