Message: <blockquote data-quote="Nonlethal Force" data-source="post: 3313938" data-attributes="member: 35788">Erast turns around to partially face the right direction and places a small blade of grass between his teeth.  "Check."When Aekalos and Maris arrive at the door to the smithy, there is a muffled sound of hurried action inside.  Upon opening the door, the sight is ghastly.  All of the smithing tools that had been laying on the workbench are scattered around the workbench on the floor.  It is as if they were simply pushed all at once.  Most of the rest of the smithy seems to be in order except for one of the women.One of the women is laying in an akward position under the window to the left (far side of the building from where Aekalos was sitting).  She does not move as the party opens the door.  Her back is straight against the wall as if she is sitting down, but she is also slightly leaning to the right.  Her shoulder is braced against the side of a crate and her head is bend against her left shoulder as the right side of her face is slumped against the edge of the crate.The other woman is in a very disheveled posture.  She has had a good deal of her protective smithing clothing ripped from her body, but she has had enough time to fix the clothing that she had underneath the thick leather (because this is a family show!).The woman turns as Aekalos and Maris open the door.  "Please!  Check on my sister.  Bahlrick tossed her aside so that she wouldn't get in the way when he ... me!"  Her sentence is incomplete, as if her mind refuses to admit the proper words that belong where the ommission occured.</blockquote>
