The Game of Kings

Argotch Inn, Port Verge (nighttime) – Doral, Partash, Carver

If Doral can get in a color spray at the two people in front of Carver, while avoiding Carver, he will.

Otherwise, he casts a sleep at the woman.

OOC: The woman may go down from the spell, so if she does and you plan to attack her, please annotate that you will switch targets to the bugbear if she goes unconscious.
 

Suite in the Sail and Scepter Inn, Port Verge (nighttime) - Vhir and Glasia

A few flicks of the fingers is all that is needed to cast the minor glamour that Vhir needed to soil the area. She nods in reply to his other requests, her blood pumping hard in her veins as the lingering magical energy dissipates. Pulling the correct components for the spells from her pouch and the correct scroll, she first disguises Vhir as he advised, trying to recall some of the basic features of the halfling they had seen earlier. Once the illusion is complete, she quietly casts the spell to render herself invisible.

"Cloudchaser will stay silent if asked," she says in a whisper. "I'll stay slightly behind you to the right." She wraps her hand tightly in a cloth as the kobold prepares to go, not wanting him to see her wince.

The kobold nods sharply, adjusts his glamored clothes, cracks his neck, and then changes his posture to seem---to seem more halfling-like and less kobold like. He then opens the door, waits a bit for the unseen Glasia to exit, then closes them. Then, with a quick step, he makes for the back stairs out of the inn and into the night, back towards their companions. He keeps a wary eye out for anything unusual out this night.
 


Argotch Inn, Port Verge (nighttime) – Doral, Partash, Carver

Partash tries to help Carver against his two opponents, swinging his heavy mace at the nearest one.
 

Lobby, Argotch Inn, Port Verge (nighttime)

Behind the bulk of the warforged, Doral looks for an opening to cast the rays of his color spray spell through, but Carver and his attackers are locked too fiercely in combat for the spell to hit only the bugbear and woman. He repeats the same patterns of casting, but the raging woman and her flashing sword are unrelenting.

On both sides of the entryway, weapons flash into and out of the light inside the Argotch's lobby and the darkness beyond its door. The disoriented bugbear jabs his longsword forward several times, once, twice, thrice, testing Carver's defense before delivering a sudden overhead swing. The sword curves upwards in a powerful overhead swing and lunges towards the artificer.

Then its graceful strike is suddenly interrupted with a shower of plaster and the crunch of splintering wood, the blade caught on the inn's threshold---and the killer's guard left open for a quick blow the warforged delivers to his armored stomach. The woman assassin tries to exploit the strike to bring her scimitar to bear, but Carver's adamantine body protects him again, turning the blade away despite the cloaked assailant's true aim.

Partash joins the deadly rhythm of sword-strikes and bludgeonings with downward swings of his mace; the bugbear jumps away from the odd pair's onslaught, but his unfortunate cohort steps forward into her thrust instead and recieves the blow to her leg. "You bastard!" she yells, pain in her voice.

Sail and Scepter, Port Verge, (nighttime)

The 'halfling' and his invisible companion quietly let themselves out of their briefly-occupied suite, shutting the door behind them. Vhir leads the way down the magically lit stairs while Glasia attempts to follow silently behind him. They descend one flight of stairs and are halfway down the second when a man in blue and brown turns the corner and looks at the disguised kobold, his eyes widening a bit. Vhir remembers a moment later that the man was the halfling's companion in the dining room. "I--what?" he sputters, blinking, clearly taken aback. "You... I left you down--in there just a moment ago!" he exclaims, stepping towards his supposed companion, oblivious to the unseen mage's presence.

The disguised kobold holds back a sneer, but the role of a smug halfling was one that he thought he could play well. But on the inside, an anger was boiling. It was time to leave, and no inconsequential human was going to get in his way. Glasia better stay still, or I'm going to have to end it.

Keeping in motion, trying to get past the human, the kobold attempts to mimic the halfling's manner as he witnessed earlier. "Shows you how well you pay attention! Just getting a little breather. Don't you worry; I'll be back in a few."

OOC: Bluff (to act in character) in conjunction with the Disguise. If this doesn't work, Vhir has a nasty surprise in store...
 

Doral was afraid he was going to have to kill her, although he had a dislike of harming women. Reaching into his pack, he pulls out his wand of magic missile and shoots the armored woman.
 

The human responds to Vhir's lie with a nervous chuckle. "But--yes, well..." His voice trails off. "Just a few minutes? Yes. We'll talk then," he says, looking at his shoes and speaking to himself as much as his apparent travelling partner. He scurries up the stairs, looking once more over his shoulder with a look of utter confusion.
