[QUOTE="Dark_Jackalope, post: 3086415, member: 41706"] [B]Sail and Scepter Inn, Port Verge (nighttime) – Vhir, Glasia[/B] The “halfling” hurried down the remaining steps and across the carpeted lobby, carrying his few personal items and a cage very nearly his size, with a large hawk peeking out of the silk cover. An odd sight, perhaps, but the bird behaved as if nothing was amiss, only scanning the surrounding area, wide-eyed. To their fortune, they encountered no one else on their way out of the inn, and the pseudo-halfling and his unseen companion emerged onto empty, glistening streets. It was raining lightly but steadily now, and streetlights reflected a yellowed glow from the rounded surfaces of the paving. All was quiet around them, except the sound of rain against the stone at their feet. [B]Streets of Port Verge (nighttime) – Dragen[/B] The indifferent Dragen walked on through the cold northern rainfall, seemingly unconcerned with what he left behind. Several minutes passed, and he turned onto a commercial street about a block away from the waterfront. After walking past a few cross streets, he came to more dimly illuminated intersection. Rainwater trickled past his boots through the gutter, running downhill towards the bay. Looking that direction, he caught the faint sound of agitated movement and shouts coming from an inn on the water’s edge. The light cast from the front windows flickered on the path as figures swirled quickly within.

She gasped, too breathless this time to curse her attacker, and cringed under the weight of the blow. Catching sight of his companion’s troubles, the bugbear took a step forward and swung past Carver towards Doral, slashing him across the arm with his longsword.
