Murphy was now sure of it. something was driving him to fall asleep. And as he had suspected, the weird man he had noticed earlier seemed to be the only one unaffected. Murphy looked at the others. The turk was burning his fingers in his puipe to keep himself awake and the lady was already out cold. It seemed this was a time for action. Murphy looked over the table. there was little on it other than a candle to provide light. It was pinned on a copper candle holder that looked to be quite hefty.<br/><br/>Murphy grasped at the candle, he was almost out cold too now. Following mithat's example, he momentarily jolted himself to stay awake by sweeping his finger into the candle's flame. The momentary jolt of pain and shock was enough to sharpen Murphy's concentration for that one critical moment. He then flung the candle holder at the weird man.<br/><br/><div><hr style="height:2px; width:100%; border:0; color: white;background:white;"/></div><br/><br/>The tracker's spell was almost complete, most of the bar was already asleep now. His targets were taking slightly longer as they were actively resisting its influence, but even that wouldn't keep them awake much longer. Then however, one of them made a move most unexpected. The officer lunged towards the candle on the table and chucked it right at the tracker. The tracker dodged out of the way by reflex more than anything. He knew he could take a direct hit to his head, but his natural instincts didn't follow. Much to his dismay however, the interruption had broken the spell. And judging by how proactive the officer was, there was probably little time to start it anew.<br/><br/><div><hr style="height:2px; width:100%; border:0; color: white;background:white;"/></div><br/>Murphy's desperate action had borne fruit. The moment the stranger had dodged his projectile, he could already feel the sleepiness subsiding. He stood up from his chair fastly and moved towards the man, lunging at his neck as he went. Running seemed ike a bad idea, judging by the fact the man posessed some supernatural power that appeared to work over some distance.<br/><br/>(Spell's effects are quickly going away for those that stayed awake, those that are asleep need to be woken by someone else or sleep magically for the remainder of the night.)
