The Tavern by the creek (all welcome, please!) - Page 8

As Sultair steps out of his room, she steps out of the shadows in front of him......"There is a man downstairs that will be useful in this fight".....She whispers in his ear, her breath smelling of honey and herbs ~he is the one who carries the axes~.......She turns suddenly and races down the stairs, and stops in the middle of the main room, gloved hands on her hips, looking for the barkeep. She spies him in the kitchen, and goes thru the door, to have a talk with him in private.

The servants have begun their day’s work and he calls Maria over to himself, grateful he was allowed to sleep in the main room. “Whatever comes,” he thinks, “only one thing matters – nothing must be allowed to harm these people.” He turns to the woman, her own eyes still heavy with the remnants of sleep, and says, “Should there be a well protected room in this place, I suggest that you and the others go there with haste.” He turns abruptly from the surprised woman as another person dashes into the room. Recognizing her as the puzzling woman whose gaze he met the previous night, he turns back to Maria. "Tell me, before you go, what is the best way to get to the roof."

The sorcerer heard and perceived the other assorted people of the bar readying themselves, and was even surer of his sense of expectation, and while they prepared he decided to ready himself also.

After talking with the barkeep in the kitchen, she takes his private stairs back up to the rooms, and opens an ordinary looking-door in the back of the hall, and head for the roof..............

Their force gathered, also including one golem, and two kobolds, they slowly start making their way around the tavern, trying to surround it and catch the occupants by surprise

He is relieved that the simple act of climbing the stairs has reduced the stiffness in his legs. He moves with a calm swiftness through the hallway, climbs a steep flight of stairs and, using the key Maria had given him, steps through the door to the roof. His head turns upward and his eyes widen to drink in the expansiveness of the sky and he whispers a greeting to the Maker of the tented heavens. Hearing a footfall on the staircase behind him, he steps out onto the roof – it is still wet from the night’s rain – and waits, his back to the door as he surveys the sky.

She silently comes to the door at the top, and stands there, watching the man, who is watching the sky.......She chuckles softly, getting his attention. "Never leave your back to a door", she moves to the edge of the roof, and sits down by the edge, drawing out a couple of amulets, and watches the sky, measuring...................

He shifts his gaze to the treetops of the wooded expanse to the west and stands still – his ears marking the cadences of her speech. “There was no threat in that direction,” he says simply, without turning. He smiles slightly noting her movement to the roof’s edge. He turns and meets her eyes with the directness of his own gaze. In no hurry for words, he allows her features to fill his eyes for a few moments before he speaks his name, “Cyril Darkcloud.”

Sultair makes his way to the roof, drawn their as if by some magic greater than his own... once there, he speaks to those already there. "I hate to leave friends in need, but I fear I may be more a hindrance then a help in this. I have to do something, I will return to help as soon as I can. Leave some of the fun for me!!" he turns around, and promptly vanishes.

She extends a gloved hand, amber eyes starting to glow softly, "Well met, Cyril DarkCloud. I am KayLisa".......
She stares at him for a moment, then looks carefully over the edge of the roof at the forest. She removes her left glove and lays a silver amulet with a moonstone in the center in her palm. The runes carved into her hand start to glow, matching the light of the moonstone, and she looks back at the forest intently......"23 total" she says softly. At this moment, Sultair appears, and she glances at him, then dismisses him as he leaves, her attention on the forest below.
