The Four Lands

Angelo - The Crowd

Taking a look at the crowd, Angelo senses that the mood could turn very ugly towards Rodericks men, with just a littel pushing. An almost overwhelming sense of pent up frustration and rage is building.

"Good people, will you stand idly by while five thugs attack a simple singer in your midst?" He gestures at the men with his staff. "Will you let this fellow Cork report back to Roderick that you were amused at a simple song, so that he will have an excuse to treat you ill. He has your names in his head already. Will you give him a chance to report or will you give him such a beating that he will never set foot in this neighborhood again? I say we run these louts out of town and never tolerate their kind again. Tomorrow is a new day in this fine historic district. Tonight is your chance to make it a good day for the good people. Cast out Roderick and his evil men."

Angelo - Rodericks Men

Angelo steps up to the crowd and delivers his words and as he speacks the room goes silent. Then like a match touching a trail of gunpowder, the tension in the room is finally ignited and explodes. Three men move towards the front door as if to block it while two move to engage the man called Cork. Their movement breaks the tension and almost before he can blink, three of Rodericks men lay dead, daggers protruding from various parts of their bodies. Cork moves to defend himself but he is quickly overwhlemed by the two who apporached him and is quickly put to the floor unconcious. The rest of Rodericks men (two) attempt to flee but are are pushed back by the three men at the door who suddenly are holding shortswords and wicked looking daggers in their hands.

Like rats in a trap, they turn toward the crowd but one foolish soul cries out for mercy.

Angelo Human Mage

Fixing the last two of Roderick's men with a fierce gaze, Angelo says, "Drop you weapons before you loose your lives. Roderick and your band his band of miscreants no longer hold power over the people of this district."

Angelo - Rodericks Men

Addressing the two remaing men standin in an imperious tone, Angelo demands they drop their weapons. Both men, as if they suddenly find themselves holding a live snake, drop their short swords with a quick movment. As the weapons hit the floor, there is a audiable clang, as the room has fallen stangely silent.

Looking the crowd over, Angelo senses they are unsure of what just happened, they are both happy but confused.

One of the two men who subduend Cork, breaks the silence by adressing Angelo.
"What shall we do with this scum before Roderick returns" ?

OCC:Any word on patterson?

Angelo smile at his sucess, not quite sure what to do next. "Ladies and Gentlemen you have witnessed a historic moment. While it is regretable that we had to take the lives of these men, it is an important day. I say run these two who surrendered out of town with enough bruises to ensure they never return. I would like to have a 'personal chat' with Cork here."

OOC: Mike has been at the lake, but I did get one very brief post early this morning. Hopefully, he will be back in action this evening. Yes, Angelo is great fun. I did spend considerable time thinking about his personality and style. So far he's working out very well.

Tetsu

OOC: Hey, guys! Sorry, I've not had much time to post -- we're getting ready for vacation. We leave Saturday morning, and will be gone for a week. I'm hoping to have the laptop cleaned up and ready to take with us so I can post from Florida. I'll post between now and Saturday as I get a chance, but we've got lots to do to get ready . . .

Angelo - Conservation with Cork

Taking Angelo at his word the crowd begins to beat the two men. after a few licks it seems as if six or so of the crowd members become the prinicpal beaters (ROLL A SPOT CHECK).

The man holding Cork by the scruff of the neck looks at Angelo and says "Where do you want to talk to this scum" and delivers a vicious slap to the back of Cork's head.

Tetsu

OOC: Todd, I'm still waiting for a post as to how my nights sleep goes, if I suffer any ill effects from the cordials/food, what time I wake up and under what circumstances, if I dream, etc. (See post 197)

Tetsu - A nights dream

As Tetsu settles into the bed for a nice night he notices that the bed has had bits of rosemary and thyme have been rolled up into the sheets. Sliding bewteen the sheets Tetsu feels a powder substance bewteen the sheets.

Soon Tetsu falls into a deep sleep. While sleeping Tetsu dreams of a sun lite beach rising up to a lonely tower jutting into the sea on a a spur of rock land. Above the tower is the standard of a golden lion upon a scarlett red field. As the sun rises higher and higher into the sky, shadows begin to play along the base of the tower until suddenly it looks as if the tower is to be consumed by them.

Tetsu the awakes with a start, his body drenched in sweat and a feeling of terrible letheragy.
