[Vile] Puppy Kicking PCs at Work

[Goddess FallenAngel]

"Fool," T'aria snarls as Jeleneth, "We were just going to return the two of you to Brie, but since you insist upon making it difficult for us..." She strikes again with her rapier, using lethal force. "Damn you for calling for help!" She attempts to keep an eye on the incoming woman.

 

[Brother Shatterstone]

Accalon Darcanda: Human/Male (Unholy Warrior)

Accalon forgets all about the lady with the soul as dark as her hair with simple calling of his name. He forced a large smile but this wasn’t something he wanted as it was easier and far better to slink off when not under watchful eyes.

“Beatrice, Ladies,” He voice is louder than normal and carries a reassuring tone as he continues to smile while he address the group, “Everything is just fine downstairs, Brie simply sent the doorman off to help some of my friends and Brie has an important visitor right now.”

Having climbed the steps to the fair haired whore he gentle reaches out and hugs her while he whispers seriously in her ear, “Beatrice, my dear, I need you to get your sisters to go back to there rooms, can you do that for me?”

Finished with his message and his hug he pulls back giving her and the other whores the same reassuring smiles.

OOC: Obviously he didn't speak a whole lot but hopefully she's more inclined to protect herself and her sisters over sticking around and finding out what's really going on. Diplomacy +11

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

*Lydia heads up the stairs.*

No matter what Brie is paying, I'm not going after him without someone to take the brunt of his anger.

"Warrior," she murmurs to Accalon, "I have a proposal. I have been offered a substantial sum for the dispatch of the meddlesome fellow below. As he has interrupted, in a roundabout way, both of our evenings, would you care to join me in teaching him a lesson? Of course I can offer compensation for your effort," Lydia says as persuasively as she can, allowing the scarf around her neck to slip so that her brand becomes visible. If at any point she sees Aeweth standing around, she's going to grab her and get her to help.

 

[Fangor the Fierce]

Aligor Thunderaxe Male Dwarf Fighter/Barbarian

In the alley, Hectaras says to Sunedilar, “You’ve crossed me, yes. As far as walking away, this one…”, pointing to Alev, “is going to have to limp a little, I imagine, and that will be retribution enough. For now. That is, unless you decide to invade my area or interfere with my business again. I have no reason to make you permanent enemies… unless that’s what you insist on being. True enough, I care about the girl, but I know my life is forfeit by my own men’s hands if I make a bad decision for this guild. So let her go, and we’ll discuss this as equals. If not, it won’t take much of a crossbow bolt from one of my friends to deal a sudden death to your cultured ally here.” Again, referring to Alev.

“And I do have something I could use you for. You guys seem very… blunt. Not terribly sneaky. I have some enemies, who’d I rather not know I’m out to get them. If I send you instead of my own men, it’ll never be linked to me. Since I’m known to be far too sly to need muscle like you.”

Farther down the alley, the thug tries once again to hit Bane with his short sword, but misses.

He turns to Sunedilar, seeing the drop of blood on the girls neck. He knows that they would lose one, and then be outnumbered at least 2 to 1. Hardly seems fair, having to kill all of these thugs so easily...so he decides to listen to Hex's offer.

"Git to the damn point. All this talk has me itchin to kill sumthin! Seriously Scarface, if I had a hired sword that couldn't deal with a dog like Bane by now, you sure do need some help from the likes of us!"

"Damnit Mutt! Get yer hide back here NOW!" Down +2 Handle Animal.

*OOC-If Bane doesn't listen, then Aligor says screw it, let the dog have some fun! Instead of giving the bandit free shots at his dog, Aligor will follow up with a shot at the bandit attacking Bane, at the exact time he says Scarface needs their help with his current employees being so incompetent. The Handle Animal check is his move action, talking should be free, hopefully, and his standard action is shoot the damn bandit, putting him out of everyone's misery.

OOC-If Bane does listen, then Aligor will cover Scarface, (aka Hex), and wait to see his reaction to their aid and the fact tha Bane is now just waiting for another chance to attack these guys.

Turning back to Hex, "Whatcha got in mind fer us, Scarface?"

 

[Guilt Puppy]

In the alley, Hectaras says to Sunedilar, “You’ve crossed me, yes. As far as walking away, this one…”, pointing to Alev, “is going to have to limp a little, I imagine, and that will be retribution enough. For now. That is, unless you decide to invade my area or interfere with my business again. I have no reason to make you permanent enemies… unless that’s what you insist on being.

If not, it won’t take much of a crossbow bolt from one of my friends to deal a sudden death to your cultured ally here.” Again, referring to Alev.

Alev remains quiet despite the threats against his life, although it is quite clear that under his skin he is loving this situation.

Aligor's response seems to light a bit of a candle under him, however, and while he leaves his weapons sheathed, he seems to become much more intensely present -- his teeth clamped in a grin, his eyes darting, his fingers combing the air with anticipation... (Full defense.)

 

[Telsar]

T’aria stabs at Jeleneth with her rapier, just lightly nicking her arm. The woman running closer is now about 100 feet away, and T’aria recognizes her as one of the whores who was hanging on Accalon’s arm when she left Brie’s. The girl, panting and out of breath, still running, yells at the half-demon, “What… what are you doing!?! Stop it! You’re supposed to be… helping us!” Perhaps distracted by the girl’s incessant prattling, Gwyn feels the teeth of the dog he’s fighting scrape his thigh.

[T’aria rolled 13+6=AC 19, hit. Rolled 1 damage. Gwyn takes 2 points of damage from the bite.

Gwyn, HPs: 13/18
1st Dog on Alicia, dead
Alicia, HPs: 22/26
Miri, unconscious
Jeleneth, hurt
T’aria, unhurt
Blink Dog on Gwyn, hurt
Blink Dog on Alicia, dying
Accalon’s whore, unhurt]


At Brie’s, the girls looked relieved at Accalon’s words. Beatrice says, “Oh! Someone important. She hates when a lot of girls disturb things like that.” She gently strokes Accalon’s arm. “Thanks for telling us… she would have been really upset if we blundered down there.” The girls turn back, heading to their rooms, talking amongst themselves, wondering who the important visitor could be.

[Accalon rolled 20+11=31 on Diplomacy.]


Bane continues to bark at his opponent, but just as he is about to leap on him, he finally notices Aligor. The dog stops, then reluctantly lopes back towards the dwarf, still growling, wanting something, or someone, to sink his teeth into. The thug seems happy to no longer have this dog trying to rip him apart. Aligor trains his arrow on Hex, who says, “You’re being a bit foolish dwarf. I’m not hiring anyone at the point of an arrow. Not good for the rep, you know. I said we can negotiate as equals, or we can wait on more of my men.” As he says that, Aligor notices a new opponent just getting into position on the roof of a building down the alley, training his crossbow this way. Hex says “Lower your weapons, then my men will lower theirs, and we’ll discuss it like…” he looks at Alev as he finishes his sentence, “gentlemen. Otherwise, I suggest you just attack us now and we can get this bloodbath started.”

[Aligor rolled 8+2=10 on Handle Animal. On covering attack, Aligor rolls 19+5 = AC 24, covered. Aligor rolls 18 on Spot check. Alev and Sunedilar roll low, not noticing anyone new]

"I see yer new man, and if that's all that's gonna come and help, then perhaps we could use the money and you could use our 'services'. Now don't try anything funny, as you surely will be the second to die here tonight, with the girl being first. Now call off yer new thug, and we'll talk."

Aligor makes a motion to the new thug on the roof, making it known that he notices the man and hopefully to get his companions to take note of where the new guy is. He pats Bane on the neck, while lowering his bow, and gets in a defensive stance. No use in letting them think he's not ready for anything. If they try anything, he will ready to drop his bow, grab his axe, and charge Hex, making sure that the others see his skills combine in a fluid motion, and that he means business.

 

[Brother Shatterstone]

Accalon Darcanda: Human/Male (Unholy Warrior)

Accalon gives Beatrice an appreciative smile as he debates rather or not to have her look for Loni. Deciding against it, as he would rather keep Ezuvial in the dark about her, he gins friendly as he speaks softly to her, “I’m afraid you need to go to your bedroom also my dear.”

Seeing her reluctance to go he lightly, but playfully, smacks her on the rump, “Go, I’ll look you up later, okay?”

Alone and away from prying ears Accalon finally turns to the fair skinned beauty with the dark hair an intriguing smile on his face, “Gold’s not that useful to me, but I’ll still want my fair share, so what other types of compensation are you offering?”

 

[Paxus Asclepius]

Gwyn snarls at the dog, slashing and beating at it in a frenzy brought on by his nicks and scrapes.

 

[Cepter]

Sunedilar al Hazir, Human/Male Fighter

"And we're not listening to any offers made under threat, and you seem to enjoy constantly reminding us of your greater numbers. Now, if your men would be so kind as to drop any and all missile or thrown weapons, we can perhaps negotiate like civilized men. I will even make the first concession" Sunedilar sneers at Hex as he unwinds the chain wrapped around the young woman's neck with his left hand, carefully keeping his right ready to drive a gauntlet spike into her throat and use her corpse as a shield if Hex or his men should attack.

(OOC: Keeping the chain in my right hand, not returning it to it's loop. Ready action to attack with my spiked gauntlet on the girl)
