Message: <blockquote data-quote="Plane Sailing" data-source="post: 1451" data-attributes="member: 114">Auriel finally lands a solid blow with her shillelagh, taking down one of the wererats, and Lysander appears at the door and strikes down a second. He calls out “Surrender” to the final wererat, and it complies, throwing down its weapon. Questioned, it says that Squim, the leader, is up at the top of the bell tower with his two remaining cronies.Lysander and Auriel start up the stairs to the bell room, and on the next landing there is a flash, and cold black energy leaps around Lysander, but the divine grace he enjoys from Asura keeps the enervation trap at bay. Finally, at the top of the bell tower they find Squim and his two remaining cronies, in ratman form hiding up amongst the bells and ropes. Azrin is sent downstairs, and an arrow knocks one of the ratmen down to the floor. Auriel goes to take advantage of the downed wererat, but finds herself flanked by Squim who has read a scroll summoning a strange alien squid being which attacks Lysander, grappling him thoroughly. Squim lands telling blows against Auriel, who starts returning the favour. Lysander struggles to free himself from the squid-things grasp while it produces a cloud of inky darkness around itself. After a scrabble for a few rounds the squid thing is dispatched, as are two of the ratmen. Squim makes a run for it, quickly climbing up the bell ropes and escaping through one of the small windows.Outside, Azrin who was waiting and watching sees Squim attempting to make his exit - quickly calling to Chandra, the Tillanian weaponsmith, he points to the wererat. “Can you hit *that*?”. Chandra whirls one of his chakrams at Squim and knocks him from his precarious perch. The 40 foot fall wounds squim severely, and Azrin leaps forward and grapples the wererat, pinning him quickly in his weakened state. The others burst out of the foot of the tower, and help to quickly tie the wererat up, so he can be taken to justice.Searching him, they find something particularly interesting... he has some notes on him that are written on headed notepaper - notepaper from the strange little bookshop up at West Hill...</blockquote>
