What is the name of my hero so I can immortalise you in prose" the elf bows at the waste, sweeping his arms out in a magnaminous gesture of thanks. Ghost continues, his voice rising in volume so that those gathered in the immediate area can all hear. "Let me tell you how I came to be in this predicament.""It was a dark night and the clouds hung leaden in the sky, a steady rain beat a tattoo against the brim of my hat as I made my way through the streets of Metropolis. I was on a job, hunting the most vile of predators, a kidnapper. This demon in a man's skin had abducted the daughter of a man for his own nefarious purposes. A daugther that the father doted upon, a girl yet to see her ninth summer, a girl who was the apple of her father's eye, a girl whose virtues were as pure as the driven snow." Ghost stops to draw breath, his voice shaking and his eyes filling with unshed tears. Drawing a deep, shuddering breath the elf continues"I tracked this man from The Apartments to the Ivory Markets and then to the sewers below this sprawling city. I was right on the dastardly demons tail, close to catching him when I was waylaid by close to a dozen ghouls." Ghost dramatically draws his mace from beneath his cloak and reenacts the battle with actions and words before the startled audience."And then, 6 bodies around me and with 6 more ghouls gathering in the shadows I did what any sane man would do and I fled. For a day and a night I ran. I ambushed the ghouls one by one as they caught up with me, my elven heritage saving me from their paralytic touch. I had survived the posse of undead but in doing so had myself become lost. Until this morning when I was rescued by this sterling citizen" Ghost claps the orc on the back "you have done this city a great service and I would do a feature piece on you in the Independant. Once I've finished saving this girl you and I will have to have a chat" Turning to the crowd Ghost smiles and shrugs his shoulders."Anyone got a cigar? Mine are ruined and after what I've just been through I could really use one"OOC: I'd spent an hour or so typing my action, trying for some Salvatore like fight scene descriptions, and then accidently closed the window and lost it all so this is the abridged version.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f621.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":mad:" title="Mad    :mad:"  data-smilie="4"data-shortname=":mad:" /></blockquote>
