The Antigrol Tide (IC)

When his companion calls out, the elf facing Colmarr flicks his eyes around at the scene in time to see Troth carve up one of his companions. Making a vexed hissing sound through his teeth, he snarls at Colmarr. Cut off from his only surviving companion, he chooses in stead to disengage and flee up the street, toward the sound of the guards. Denther's third thrown dagger sinks into the base of the elf's neck, and the fleeing combatant crumples like a puppet whose strings were just cut.

Severely injured, Magyar attempts to keep the barrels between himself and his elven aggressor, using them as cover. Rather than attack, however, the elf pushes the barrels into the rogue, knocking him backwards. The elf then turns and sprints back toward the downed captain, stooping down to pick him up.

Grondar, seeing the final elf fleeing, directs Denther, Colmarr, and Naomi down the alley and beckons to the injured Magyar. Troth, eyes still filmed in rage, moves after the final fleeing elf.

The guards' clackers are very loud now, and the light from several lanterns can be seen.

Magyar struggles to stand. Holding himself upright only by leaning on one of the remaining barrels, he points to the bolt that still skewers him below the ribs.

"Colmarr, I don't suppose a bowl of soup's going to fix this, will it?" he jokes feebly.
 

“No, soup’s probably not going to do it Magyar ... though I’ve certainly seen some porridge in my time that’d do the job,” Colmarr says with a chuckle, trying to keep the mood light so as not to worry his young companion.

“If you can hang on for just a little while though, so we can get somewhere less hectic, I’ll see what I can do,” he adds with a waggle of his fingers and a grin. “Denther will give you a hand until we can afford to stop though, won’t you Denther. That’s a good lad,” he adds, motioning for Grondar to lead them away, while he sends his dancing lights toward the last elf, hoping to give Troth a fighting chance.

Looking back, Grondar tries to determine if he can lift the unconscious elf woman again, he left her in the opening of the alley. He ushers the others deep into the maze of the alleys afterwards.

"Of course, Colmar. Come, mag." Denther will carefully support Magyar, trying very hard not to jostle him too much.
 

The fleeing elf stops when he gets to his downed captain, bends down, and hoists the body onto his shoulders. As he is straightening up and running away, Troth catches up to him and spears him from behind. With a cry, the enemy elf falls forward, collapsing to the bloody cobblestones.

Grondar darts out from the alley and lifts the fallen female elf onto his shoulder again, then hastens back into the safety of the shadows. Toth, coming down from his rage and looking slightly dazed, stumbles after the thug. As the group fades into the alley, they can hear the guards shouting,


"What the blazes! Quickly, secure this area!"
"This one's still alive!"
"One here, too."
"These are elves! Elves--!"
"Shh, keep your voice down! Let's see what we've got here..."
"You think these are the ones that gave it to Rolf?"
"I don't know, but when I get my hands on them--Rolf said it was a big, thuggish guy who was their leader. All we got here are damn point-ears."

The voices fade as the injured crew withdraws into the night. Naomi tugs at Colmarr's sleeve, her pale hand stained with blood. When she speaks, her voice holds a frightened quaver. "Oni...oni...where's Malachi?"

Colmarr looks around, surprised not to see Malachi with them. “Malachi? I don’t know onia, I saw him fall in the street when the arrows started to fly, but I lost track of him when that elf came at us. The guards have probably found him by now though, if he didn’t manage to get away on his own.”

“Did anyone see what happened to Malachi?” he asks the rest of the crew.

"I saw him stirring during the fight, over th--" Mag begins, but as he starts to point, he hisses in pain, the arrow through his side apparently having moved with the gesture.

"Sure wish he was around now. Don't suppose you figured out that people-mending magic touch of his, did you Colmarr?"

[sblock=OOC]Referring to Cure Light Wounds. I think Colmarr learned it, but I don't think he's used it, so I'm not sure if Magyar knows this piece of information.[/sblock]
 

Grondar

Proceed to the docks, we can't stop.
Grondar ushers the others through the maze of alleys toward the docks, if he sees guards around the docks, Grondar will try to find an abandoned warehouse or maybe a small bar to lead the party into.
I'm not sure that the boat is safe, but we need to raise anchor and leave
