The road to Vrux.

"Murderers! Assassins! Jonah Help!" Morrison shouts as he steps into a position so that he threatens both dwarves, but is not yet flanked. He then flurries (+2/+2) attacking first the dwarf with the crossbow. His first attack will also be a Stunning Fist attack (DC 14 Fort). If he drops the dwarf with the first attack, the second will be on the other dwarf, and remember he will also Cleave if either attack drops the first dwarf.

[ooc I am assuming that there are significant advantages to attacking a kneeling dwarf who is carefully concentrating on something else.]

Init
Dwarf with Crossbow 21
Morrison 20
Brancista 14 (but readjusted to 18+ because of the ready action)
Karl 18
Dwarf with knife 13
The dwarf with the crossbow under heavy pressures fires his arrow toward Brancista. The quarrel hits Brancista but seems to be stoped by an invisible field and falls harmlessly on the ground.

Brancista mumble a few words and throw his sand at Karl's faces. As soon as it leave it's hand its transformed in a spray of color. Brancista has time to notice Karl surprise as he get hit by the ray of color a second later is on the ground unconscious.
Seeing Brancista's display of Magic the people around him starts to panick even more.

OoC In order for Morisson to hit the kneeling dwarf he has to accept an AoO from the one standing. I will assume you tumble

Morisson leaps and roll over the fallen table in such a quick way that the other dwarf is unable to hit him with his dagger. He finishes his movement and kick the dwarf right in the middle of the kneck (dmg 7) the dwarf stunned by the impact is now at Morisson's Mercy. He tries to finishe him with a punch in the spine but with all the commotion around misses him (roll 2)

The standing dwarf rushes on Morrison attacking him with his dagger, Morrison easily dodge each of the dwarf attack. (he only has one attack)

The kneeling dwarf is still standing but seems destabilised by Morisson blow.
 

Morrison will continue to flurry and attack the same dwarf. If he is able to finish that dwarf he will use the remainder of his attacks, and a Cleave attack, on the dwarf with the knife. His first attack on the dwarf with the knife will be a Stunning attack.
 

Brancista Rogue/Illusionist

Brancista grabs the short sword from Karl’s unconscious hand and removes the scabbard from Karl’s belt. Tucking the sword back into the scabbard, Brancista ducks underneath a table, using the table as cover to hide his activities from any patron that may be watching him. He softly speaks an incantation that he has used many times before. As he completes the incantation, magic begins to mold his body, making his features more haggard, and growing his frame as he transforms into a human. Remaining hidden, Brancista slowly moves away from the area that he dispatched Karl, heading for the stairs, to pay back the dwarf who took a shot at him. As he walks the stairs, he looks to see if anyone on the main level if paying particular attention to him, and may have connected this new human with the elf that used magic in the restaurant.

[OOC: Hide +5, cast Disguise Self (lasts 10 minutes), Disguise +12 (4 ranks + 10 spell – 2 different race)]
 

Morrison attack the dazzled dwarf for a second time (roll 15+2) hitting him with a round kick (dmg 3+3) the dwarf fall on the ground uncouncious. Morisson follow thru his kick and hit the other dwarf in the same action (roll 16+2 dmg 6+3 but he doesn't seem stun by the attack). Not giving the dwarf the opportunity to answer back Morrison follow with a sequence of well placed punches to the face (10+2) but the dwarf dodges them.

The dwarf, looking at his brother lying on the ground, drops the dagger on the ground, his well groomed hair are now all over the place You are pretty good stranger he says nervously replacing his hair. " I wasn't here for you" The dwarf seems scared by Morisson. Johan is quickly climbing the stairs asking Morrison to spare the two dwarfs.

Brancista taking advantage of the chaos hides under one of the tables. roll 8+5

OOC Brancista is aware of what's happening upstairs. he can therefore changes his action.
 

"Very well, I shall spare you for the moment. Sit there, tend to your brother, and dont make any sudden moves." As soon as Jonah arrives, Morrisson turns to him, and says quietly "What should we do with them Jonah? One of them killed that poor waiter in cold blood!"
 

Jonah seems quite shaken by what just happened. He grabs Morisson's shoulder and whispers " Hold on my friend, we aren't in Creal here. Axyr judges are very tough on those kinds of murders, let the law take care of those two and let's mind our own business Johan is nervously looking around, let's get out of here first. You will explain me what happened later

The dwarf still standing seeing that you don't pay attention to him anymore quickly grabs his brother and the crossbow. he then heads toward the stairs.
 

The beggar paid by Brancista, seems unhappy. He mumbles to himself looking very frustrated. He then rushes for the door. As Morrison and Brancista are about to leave four city guards enter the room. Using their polearm they block the access to the main door. The lieutnant of the guard then shouts "Everyone drop their weapons and get on their knees. Anyone care to explain what just happened here The lieutnant seems quite young but speak in a very authoritarian way. Military training his harsh in Axyr and soldiers take a great pride in their achievement but the younger one are very often arrogant with the common people.

Johan puts his hand on his face, curses and put himself on his knees.
 

Rather surprised by the quick appearance of the city watch, Morrison emulates Jonah, dropping to his knees, secure, however, in the knowledge that he has done nothing wrong.
 

The city guards seeing that the peace was restored and unable to find any proof leaves the Inn. Karl woke up a few seconds after the apparition of the guards so there were they found no inanimate body only blood.

Things quicly go back to normal and Morrison and Johan goes to bed. Tomorrow they have a big day, They will meet the head of the church.

OOC Sorry I will fast forward things a bit in order to restart quickly.

--- The next morning

Rell wakes up and Ivar nevers show up so he decides to go to the address alone. He walks walks and end up in the back of a temple Fhrlangh.

There he met with a men who greet him and offers him a job. See below he will pay 100 Axyrian Gobelet


Johan and Morisson wake up very early and walk for about an hour through out the northern part of the city. They finally reaches the 80'feet tall wall that protect the central city. Johan show the guards a medallion hidden under his cloack. The guard waves at the wall and a small metal door appears in front of you. You both crossed it and found yourself in the inner city. The inner city is completly different from the northern part. Every where you look you see enormous spires. Between each of those spires you see numerous level where people walk, shop, work, and live.

Johan looks at you, and say There are three different city in Axyr, the Northern and poorest part, the central city and the southern part of town. You saw the two extreme. Most people who live in this part of the city never went in the other two using all kind of magical vehicule to get out of here. Some aren't even aware of the other two part of the city.

A man mounted on a small cart without horses approaches you " So, where do you want to go, I am charging 1 gobelet per Imperial mile a real bargain" The man eyes are a deep blue and he has red hair and a very pale complexion. Probably another immigrant from the north who tried to found fortune in Axyr but was forced to do a job that most Axyrian aren't interest in.

Johan accept the ride and indicate to the man the direction to the Great temple. After driving through the lower part of the town (ground floor) you levitate to the fourth layer (located about 100 floor high). The view from above is astonishing you can see from miles ahead. Strangely the other part of town aren't visible from here instead Morisson sees beautiful forest, lake, Mountains and falls. You finally stop in front of a Huge temple richly decorated.

Johan and Morisson meets the High Priest, after a few hours of waiting, Johan is finally admited in the main room. Morisson waits outside for another hour and is then allowed to enter. The high priest is a very old men siting on a very large chair and surronded by many lesser priests. The main room is magnificent full of sculputures and painting everywhere. Morisson following the protocol taugh by Johan approaches the High priest.

Approach young men, Johan told me a lot of great thing about you. He then continue talking about his vision of the church and how it slightly differ from the collonies approach (Obviously Johan didn't tell the whole thruth).

In order to prove your worth, Johan found a little assignement for you. Lately the northern road has been plagued by brigand's attack. I want you to lead a small group of adventurer and clear this road in the name of our divine
He pauses caught a little and continues

I recruited a few men in a temple in the northern city, they are waiting for you. . Johan seems a bit scarred for Morisson but doesn't say anything and simply wishes him good luck. After giving direction to Morisson. he is send back to the northern part of the city (OOC I know I go very fast)

Calondor and Makas were already hired. Makas and Calondor were protecting a caravan on their way to Axyr and were noticed by a priest of Fhrlang.

(OOC I know I am railroading here, I hate it but bear with me this thing had so much difficulty starting. I assume you all accepted the mission and from here on everything is up to you. Thanks)
