[QUOTE="Carlo-One, post: 7838031, member: 7015827"] Three figures garbed in black awaited the group: Night Masks! One large individual, clearly an enforcer, carried a battle-axe, while the other two sported swords and crossbows. The lead figure, the smaller male, spotted Rahnee and Brok-Tul exiting. He quickly told the company to come no further and asked if they were with Klendt - to which a negative answer was given, Rahnee asking him the same question in turn. The large male recognized Brok-Tul and told the lead rogue, who was observing Aerikoth as he emerged from the tower, that Brok was an old "petty" enforcer. Marik, who had circled around the Night Mask group to block their retreat down the hill, commented on this and brashly began flirting with the female rogue, armed with a crossbow, who in response drew her blades and said she would welcome using Marik's entrails for fortunetelling. The lead rogue, brushing off a comment from his enforcer that the Masks could take their opponents, told Rahnee that, since the Masks' business with Klendt had evidently been interrupted, perhaps both sides should simply go their separate ways. Stating that their business with Klendt was the recovery of several items, and that the items most likely had already been recovered, no more business was possible. The rogue reached out and tapped on the enforcer's back briefly, then repeated the question of whether they could leave amicably, looking back at Marik. Rahnee told the others to let them pass, but Marik did not leave his post. The rogue, patience apparently ending, stated that they wished to leave...now. Marik instead made a quip at the female rogue - his last, for the lead rogue called out "Execute!" and the three Night Masks rushed Marik, who went down in a flurry of blades and blood. [I](An example of a person's character determining their destiny. --C)[/I]. The Masks then took off westward, with the party in pursuit and Aerikoth taking a commanding position on the hillside from which to call down magics upon the Masks. Seeing that they could not successfully escape by running, the Masks turned to fight, but were defeated by Marik's enraged companions. Returning quickly to where Marik had fallen, Rahnee forced a healing potion down his throat, but the liquid pooled in his dead mouth. Jokull meanwhile had sought to bandage his wounds, finally giving up after it was clear there was nothing to be done. After the initial shock of Marik's death had worn off, on Aerikoth's suggestion Brok-Tul and Rahnee set about the grisly task of disposing of the Night Masks’ bodies, chopping them up and throwing them into the sea. [I](The wizard is ever practical about such things, it seems, including getting the others to do the dirty work. --R).[/I] The party refused to give up hope that Marik could eventually be resurrected, Jokull being particularly adamant about finding assistance in Westgate. The group wearily set off for the city, Jokull bearing Marik's body on his back. [/QUOTE]
