[Vile] Puppy Kicking PCs at Work

[Goddess FallenAngel]

T'aria manuvers herself into a position as close as possible to the girls as she can, ready to cut one of them off should they run. She takes care to remain as hidden and silent as possible.
Can't worry about the dogs right now... I'm getting paid for this.

[Brother Shatterstone]

Accalon Darcanda: Human/Male (Unholy Warrior)

Seeing Ezuvial’s departure Accalon closes the peepholes while standing quickly as he heads for the door. At the door he pauses long enough to confirm the sound of booted feet upon the wooden steps before he opens the door and travels the few feat to the bedrooms normal entrance.

He raps lightly, and softly, before he opens the door that leads to the two shaken ladies. His face is a cross between apologetic and seriousness, “Miladies I’m afraid I’m going to ask you to leave this room, I imagine that Ezuvial might indeed try to keep his word about coming back for you two and I can’t offer to much protection in the light of his fatefulness.”

He motions quickly for two whores to fall him, “Please fallow me.”

 

[Telsar]

The two girls look at Accalon for a moment, letting it sink in that this man they didn't know had obviously been spying on them. Aeweth thinks that being somewhere else isn't a bad idea, but she feels she owes her teammate Lydia some information, and insists on going to her before they hide. However, Heliah, at first, doesn't seem keen on the idea at all "We can't go running through the house! Did you feel that, when he got angry? I can still feel it!" Accalon realizes that he still feels it too, even with Ezuvial out of the room [penalties I listed before are still in effect]. But some fast talking on Accalon's part, and Aeweth's comforting hand holding hers, convinces Heliah to follow along with the adventurers, for now.

 

[Paxus Asclepius]

Gwyn circles wide of the dog, closing slowly on the girls and doing what he can to convince them he poses no threat.

 

[Brother Shatterstone]

Accalon Darcanda: Human/Male (Unholy Warrior)

Accalon flashes Aeweth an appreciative glance at her support before he turns back towards the door, “Fine we’ll go see Lydia, I can hide you there well enough also.”

Drawing his spatha and opening the door they start the short, but nerve racking, trip down the hallway to Lydia’s room, and the other voyeur closest.

 

[Telsar]

On the way through the halls upstairs, no noise can be heard from down below. But then Accalon hears footsteps coming his way. Weapon drawn and ready, the warrior tenses, but it turns out to be the raven-haired whore from below, whom Accalon had dismissed once he'd seen Loni. The girl is almost frantic "I just passed him! On the stairs. He's really the one? He seemed so kind, but Loni told us. He asked me where Brie was. I told him I didn't know, and then he said I should take lying lessons from Felari, but he let me pass as he went downstairs. I have to find Valasia; Brie wants her to stay in the closet until Brie says it's OK to come out."

Suddenly there's a yell of pain, coming from downstairs. It's quite loud, but sounding more bestial than human. Then more noise that sounds very much like a fight ensueing. The yell, although loud, wasn't enough for Lydia to be distracted from her activities. [Rolled Listen Default 5+2=7]

Accalon Darcanda: Human/Male (Unholy Warrior)

Accalon nods his head somberly while he touches her shoulder with his free hand; “Yes he is the one but your going to be fine, if you trust me that is… Did Brie call the constables like Loni told her too?”

He’s on the verge of saying more but the load noise from down below interrupts him and he quickly grasps the raven-haired whore hand and instructs the other two whores to fallow, “Come miladies, we must inform this Lydia of Ezuvial’s actions and also hide the rest of you with Valasia.”

With three whores in tow Accalon continues down the hallway reaching the voyeur closest. Accalon raps lightly but he doesn’t wait for a reply as he opens the door, “Please ladies inside if you will, tell Valasia of her need to stay in here. Stay quite, stay out of sight, and I’ll be back for you as soon as I can.”

Once the raven haired whore and Heliah are inside he quickly closes the door as he turns towards the new gorgeous blonde girl with a serious look in his eyes, “Faleri, your friend Lydia will be next door and judging by her equipment know that she will be a help in a fight but what about you, can or will you help us in this?”

He waves for her to answer as he opens the door to the bedroom and walks in taking the scene in quickly, “My good friend Algernon, sorry to interruption but I'm the bearer of bad news your hour had been cut short, and Lydia you need to dress.” He nods for Faleri to talk to Lydia as he moves up on the tied up man, “I’m afraid your bodyguard is the man that’s wanted in connection to the missing girls.” The curved horseman’s blade glitters in the light as Accalon continues, “you have about 20 seconds to tell me all you know about Ezuvial before I decide how innocent you are in all of this.”

OOC: Intimidate, though it’s also sort of a bluff Accalon would but he doesn’t have the time to spare. As soon as Lydia is dressed he plans on moving on.

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

*Lydia had been rather enjoying Algernon, if he hadn't been so warm, she could have imagined that he was one of her finest conquests. Still, the information she had gotten from him was impressive, and worth the small reward his acting could give her. Thusly she looks over at the intruding warrior with annoyance, and disengages herself from him to go talk to Aeweth.*

"You'd better have a good reason for having him barge in here like this," she hisses.

[OOC - Once Lydia knows what's going on, she'll grab her mace and holy symbol (skipping the armor for the moment as it would take some time to put on), as well as throwing on a tunic and head cautiously to the stairs with Aeweth in tow.]

 

[Telsar]

The raven-haired whore [who I don’t think has ever been named] says to Accalon in the hallway, “I… I don’t know. When Loni came down, she said you wanted the constables, but the first thing Brie did was order me up here to tell Valasia to stay put. Not sure why that was so important.”

Once the whores are safely tucked away in the closet, ‘Faleri’ responds to Accalon, basically telling him that this Ezuvial might be too tough to fight. She’s more concerned with the girls working here, and will stay up here to protect them, once she talks with Lydia.

[Note- I’m going to avoid direct quotes on NPCed PCs, since I don’t want to infringe on depicting their personality. But this basically goes along with TH’s last post]

After Accalon interrupts Lydia and Algernon, he realizes the man is gagged, and removes it so he can answer his question. Algernon sputters, “Missing girls? What the hell are you talking about? I don’t know anything about missing girls! And neither would my bodyguard! What I know is I hired him two days ago, his life before that I don’t care a whit about. But he’s certainly honorable, I’m a good judge of character. Now please, one of you, untie me and I’ll happily talk to him about it. But I will say, you sir, have an unnatural talent for spoiling a mood.”

[Accalon’s Intimidate rolled 10+7=17]

Aeweth takes Lydia aside, apologizes for the interruption, and tells her she doesn’t think fighting this bodyguard is a good idea. He seems powerful and very, well, holy perhaps, paladin-like. She says she’d rather stay up here, and look after the girls, and recommends Lydia do the same.

 

[Fangor the Fierce]

Aligor Thunderaxe Male Dwarf Fighter/Barbarian

Meanwhile, Aligor, Alev and Sunedilar wait with weapons drawn, to see who approaches. After just a few seconds, a young lady rounds the corner, about 10 feet away. She wears leather armor with a sheathed short sword, and has her red hair tied in a pony tail. She seems startled by the collection of warriors. Aligor has to wonder how he missed her; since in circling around to greet Sunedilar and Alev, he passed right by where she came from.

[Note-this is a surprise round. Any PC can take a move or standard action (not both) before the first round begins. I’m not suggesting anyone attack her unless they want to, but anyone who waits to see what she does basically foregoes this free surprise round action. Of course, maybe she’ll just want to talk, in which case there won’t be round-by-round action anyway]

Readying the shot, Aligor will say the following:

"What manner of woman walks the night as you do? Hands up, no screaming, or an arrow through your throat! Now drop your weapons!" Intimidate +6, +2 if Aided...

If she tries to draw her weapons, then he will let loose the arrow. If she cries out for help, the arrow flies. If she begins speaking in a language he does not know, the arrow flies. If she starts a chant/spell/moving her hands in a fashion that he doesn't like or understand, the arrow flies. If she moves, the arrow flies. Pretty much covers everything, I HOPE!!!

If she complies, he will then ask her, "Who are you and what business do you have trying to sneak up on us? Speak low and quick or die!"

Same deal as above: The arrow flies if she does any of the things above. (She can drop her weapons, but if she makes any kind of threatening move, the arrow flies.)
