Through the Secret Passage

“Well, I suppose some peoples do derive advantage from living in holes.” Even trying to complement the dwarf, the elf managed to sound insulting. “Would you care for the honour of entering first?”
“It’s better than living amongst trees!” the dwarf retorted. Even before the Elf questioned whether he would care to go first, Feldard was [...]

A Secret Door

The battle over, Saeth darted down the alleyway, looking for doors, windows, or any sign of an exit that the crossbows may have taken.
Feldard wiped his axe blade clean. “So where did the cowards get to?” He looked to the Elf who had been the one in the forefront of the chase, and similarly began [...]

Confrontation in the Alley, continued

As soon as the man began moving, Saeth instintively let fly the knife. It grazed the man’s side, lightly wounding him, but doing nothing to slow him down.
Seeing the man galvanized into life Maruc released his flail, side-stepping allowing Feldard room for manouver. The dwarf had glanced away to glower at Maruc at his comment [...]

Confrontation in the Alley

Just standing there? He had the advantage a moment ago. Letting advantages flow away like a leaf down a stream was never a good idea.
“Don’t care to grace us with at least your name, as long as we’re all here?” Saeth didn’t realize that Feldard and Maruc has arrived behind her, but used the construction [...]

Dead End

Saeth came to a sudden stop. A quick glance showed the apparent disappearance of their assailants, but this new swordsman posed a more pressing conundrum. Shifting her dagger to her left hand, she pulled her blade free of its scabbard on her back. “And who might you be?”
As almost ran into Saeth but stopped himself [...]

The Cleric’s Wild Ride

The dwarf was just coming into the marketplace. With the near riot breaking out, he was at a bit of a loss as to where his companions had gone, but eventually he spied Maruc turning into a side street.
The elf, intent on her goal, paid little attention to the damage that the cart would wreck [...]

Through the Crowd

The dwarfs own curses joined that of the vendors as he came apon the blocked path. He was tempted to just hack his way through but knew that by the time he did so the villians would be long gone anyways. “Thrice cursed, worthless, piles of troll-dung ..” He grumbled as he halted his chase. [...]

The Chase Continues

The bolt in his side sent Nicolai reeling, but he had a feeling that this was a warning. He stopped to briefly stem the bleeding, and hoped that he wouldn’t lose these crossbow men in the crowd.
Four of them, now. Well, the companions really only needed one to lead them onward. Drawing a dagger into [...]

More Crossbowmen

The dwarf charged on, as fast as his short legs would carry him. “By Thunder! MORE RUNNING!? You humans have much to learn of battle -yer supposed to stand yer ground!” Yes, by charging after a fleeing foe one did set themselves up fine for running into a trap, and with that in mind he [...]

The Chase

Nicolai ran at the man to try and disarm him, and Saeth went straight for her daggers. She would let them fly toward his crossbow hand–as satisfying as killing the assailant might be, wounding him would be far better. Drive him to flight, and he could lead them to his hideaway.
Maruc ducked for cover, noting [...]
