[SBLOCK]*Zaeryn embraces Valyssa tightly and affectionately, resting his head against hers as they circulate slowly around the dance floor...humming along with the music from time to time as they dance.*[/SBLOCK]

Yuriko:[SBLOCK]

"Rin? Yu? They are alright . . . I will go out and help bury my boy. I mourn his death with a heart full of sorrow, but thank the Spirits that you saved all the rest of us...How can we ever repay you?"

"Shinoa-sama, your other children are safe for the moment," Yuriko cautioned. "However, Rin was tainted by the creature . . . and I am somewhat suspicious of you as well, Shinoa-sama, as you appear much younger than you were last evening. Can you explain yourself?" [/SBLOCK]

"No. Nobody else," the guard says, dropping his weapons and sitting in the chair.

"No. Nobody else," the guard says, dropping his weapons and sitting in the chair.

"Hands behind the chair" Kirkesh says as she moves over towards him. She brings Vanessa over behind the guard, hands her a rope and says "Tie him up to the chair, NOW."

Kirkesh keeps the knife at Vanessa's throat, and one eye on the guard, just in case.

Once Vanessa has finished tying the guard up, Kirkesh says "Make sure you tell Sanchez that she was never harmed." and then knocks out the guard with a blow to the back of the head.

Diedrik:
[SBLOCK]
*Jasyra smiles.*

"Thank you Mister Carnard. I bid you adieu," she says, using a Rowaini farewell, "If you have no more questions, then please report to the ship 'Hesychia' tomorrow afternoonish--she will set sail that evening."

*As Diedrik makes his way out, he catches a whiff of an absolutely heavenly scent drifting to his nostrils from behind the bar, making more than one of the bar's patrons look towards the bar and lick their lips.*

Zaeryn:
[SBLOCK]
*Valyssa and Zaeryn continue to dance slowly and intimately together, for a long time, and Zaeryn's feet start to feel a bit tired, but he continues on, in the moment with Valyssa. Eventually, the music shifts once again, this time to a quiet background song at a medium tempo.*

Yuriko:
[SBLOCK]
"Younger?" Shinoa wonders aloud, not having a mirror with which to check herself and so heading over to a pail of water to look within, "Oh, Spirits--you are right! I am much younger now. What does it mean?"
[/SBLOCK]

[SBLOCK]*With the tempo change in music, Zaeryn asks:*

“Valyssa, do you mind if we take a short break...my feet could use a rest.”[/SBLOCK]

"Younger?" Shinoa wonders aloud, not having a mirror with which to check herself and so heading over to a pail of water to look within, "Oh, Spirits--you are right! I am much younger now. What does it mean?"

"I do not know for certain . . . did the creature feed on you?" Yuriko asked. "If so, you are tainted . . . most likely heavily so. There are treatments . . . Rin will need them as well."

OOC: Just Updating the character sheet - any idea on xps thus far? [/SBLOCK]

Kirkesh:
[SBLOCK]
*As Kirkesh begins the coup-de-grace to knock the guard out, another guard rushes out from the side door and pushes her back about ten feet, away from Vanessa and the tied-up guard. As soon as this occurs, two more guards with swords come from the room on the other side, one flanking Kirkesh and the other circling a bit and impeding on the path back to Vanessa, and they attack, both failing to strike the nimble Dolathi, as he dodges both blows, first one way and then the other.*

*Vanessa looks frantically into Kirkesh's eyes, as if asking him whether she should help him in the fight and risk exposing her true loyalties, or whether he could handle it.

(OOC:
Guard B Touch Attack 16 + 6 = 22, success.
Opposed Bullrush Guard B vs Kirkesh: 11 + 4 = 15 vs 9 + 1 = 10--success by 5 or more means 10 feet of pushing.
Guard C Sword 7 + 7 = 14, miss.
Guard D 13 + 5 = 18, miss.
Vanessa delays to wait for Kirkesh's nonverbal cue.
Kirkesh's turn.
