Message: <blockquote data-quote="Morgaine" data-source="post: 212573" data-attributes="member: 2393">Before taking their leave of him, Hal offers to give Borin and Xenia a few pointers to use in their duel with Gobrey.  Borin rebuffs his overture, indicating his axe as the only advice he needs.  Deke, however, nonchalantly accepts weapon training to increase his skill with the rapier.  Hal is impressed with the rogue’s handling and offers suggestions to increase his finesse, which Deke quickly absorbs and demonstrates.  Once done, Hal suggests Deke return when he has more time.  Deke feigns indifference but secretly looks forward to the opportunity.As the party makes it way back through town, the same eerie feeling of someone watching them causes several party members to look around cautiously.  Deke notices something just off to the left of them, above their heads.  Barely visible in the bright sunlight is a shimmering eye focused on the entire party.  It radiates with divination magic and Morgaine immediately realizes that someone (probably Dobberick) is spying on them.  Deke shakes his fist at the oculus, taunting their unseen observer, “why don’t you come out here and face us yourself, you big wuss!”  Suddenly, from beyond the horizon, Morgaine, Deke and Gemma hear a loud buzzing noise progressing closer to the group.  Unable to discern its source, the group scans the skies and surrounding buildings for clues.  Seconds later, a dozen giant bird-like creatures appear in the sky a hundred yards off.  As the flying creatures draw near, the party catches a glimpse of the elongated beaks and iridescent wings and realizes these are not mere birds.  Rather, they are some kind of enormous cross between a bird and a mosquito.  The party members quickly ready themselves for a battle as the first wave aims straight for Deke.</blockquote>
