Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kid Charlemagne" data-source="post: 114886" data-attributes="member: 93">Ulfang, June 3rd, AE 420Back at the Gold Dragon Inn, Gavin hears a knock on the door.  “Who is it?”  He asks.“Room service,” comes the reply, from a female voice.He takes a look through the small watch window, and sees a short woman, wearing the outfit of one of the Inn’s maids.  Wait a minute, Gavin suddently thinks, that looks like leather armor under her outfit!“Uh, sorry, we didn’t order anything,” he says, stepping back from the door, and drawing his sword.  Corwin gets up from the bed he had been sitting on, and steps over by the balcony door.Gavin sees the door handle turn, and the scratching of a lockpick in the lock.  He quickly steps up and latches the door’s bolt, and the door rattles as whoever is outside tries to open the door.“I said, we didn’t order anything!”The door shudders as someone puts their shoulder into it, trying to break it down.Corwin looks out onto the balcony, and sees two figures.  One has just descended from the roof via a rope, and is standing just outside the door onto the balcony.  The other is standing on the wall, apparently spider climbing, and Corwin recognizes him as the assassin from the Gregarious Gargoyle who nearly killed Gavin.  Corwin steps back from the door and magic missiles the first figure.Gavin decides it’s best to deal with all the threats at once, and throws the bolt back on the front door, swinging blindly at the person on the other side.  He draws blood from the female rogue there, and sees a fighter in the hallway as well.The first rogue jumps into the room and tumbles across the bed in order to try and flank Gavin.  The spider climbing assassin nocks an arrow and lets it fly at Corwin, hitting him hard with a frost arrow.  Gavin moves to avoid being put in a flanking position, and hits the fake maid again.  The fighter moves into the room and begins swinging at Gavin.  The other rogue repositions himself to try and flank Gavin again, but this puts him in the dangerous position of being flanked by Gavin and Corwin.  Gavin takes the maid down with his next blow, and Corwin steps back from the other rogue and eviscerates him with another magic missile, dropping him.  The archer-assassin decides that things are going badly, and clambers back up the outside wall, and the fighter retreats into the Inn’s hallway.As he goes, he tosses a small black object into the room.  It explodes into a huge bubble of force, trapping both Gavin and Corwin inside it and injuring them badly.  It expands to fill almost the whole room, and even smashes the side walls outward so as to put a hole in each wall, breaking through to the adjoining rooms.  Gavin sees the fighter run off down the hall, but can’t do anything about it.  Corwin watches in frustration as the archer-assassin does the same.</blockquote>
