[QUOTE="Telsar, post: 1830690, member: 18837"] [B]Glind River Bridge[/B] Alicia searches the splattered corpse of her enemy, finding the scroll he was reading from, and a small pouch of coins. She also sees he was wearing some arm-bands made of gold, and the white robe he’s wearing has some very intricate designs on it, and is made of a silk-like substance, so it might have some value of its own. Of course, it’s unlikely anyone would buy the robe and bracers unless all the blood was washed from it. Alev continues down the bridge and takes another shot at the far archer, hitting him square in the chest. He moans in pain, but then retaliates, sending an arrow into Alev’s shoulder. Meanwhile, the other archer shakes off his paralysis momentarily, long enough to shoot an arrow into Lydia’s arm. [Alev’s attack rolled 19+6-2=AC 23, hit. Rolled 8 damage. Alev took 6 damage, Lydia took 5.] In the river, Gwyn lashes out with his claws, both scratching at the girl’s throat. As more blood seeps into the water, the girl looks very hurt, and for once, very scared, but having little choice, she slashes her dagger across Gwyn’s cheek, the flesh sizzling at it’s touch. The floating ball of fire again tries to engulf the girl, but she manages to avoid it, at the same time avoiding Lydia’s crossbow bolt whizzing by her. [Gwyn rolled 15+5=AC 20, and 18+5=AC 23, both hit. Damage is 4+2=6 and 2+2=4. Gwyn took 4 points of damage. Lydia’s attack rolled 9+5-4=AC 10, missed.] On the bridge, Maximillian says to Sunedilar “Trying to make me lose my weapon, are you? That’s a good strategy, someone trained you well. But perhaps someone trained me better!” Max takes his sword and strikes at Sunedilar’s chain, attempting to wrap it and pull it from the warriors hand, but Sunedilar slips the chain free. A small smile passes Max’s lips as he adds “Or perhaps not.” [Max tried to disarm, but Sunedilar rolled 19+9=28 to resist.] [OOC Stopping here… finding the loot took Alicia 1 round, grabbing it all would take another 2 rounds. Is Alicia taking the time to grab it all, or do something else?] [Characters by initative, damage: Alicia, HPs: 21(+4 NL)/38, poisoned (-3 Dex) Alev, HPs: 17/23 Blink Dog, unhurt, afraid Archer 1, unhurt Archer 2, hurt Man in white robes, dead Gwyn, HP:11(+3 NL)/26 Woman in leather armor, very hurt Maximillian, unhurt Lydia, HP:16/26 Girdra, unhurt Sunedilar, HP: 35(+8 NL)/38] [B]Outside the general store in Taeirn[/B] As Aligor approaches, ready to attack, he hears Fury say to the woman “Do you work for this… Hex, or not, cow?

Most are subtle about it, but the woman playing the harp occasionally plays a bit out of tune, paying more attention to the half-demon than her playing.
