<strong>Baldur’s Gate on Toril: Tyger and Giselle peaceful interlude comes to an end.</strong><br/><br/>After satisfying their need for food Tyger and Giselle spend a few hours relaxing in the common room. They exchange tails from their lives since the last saw each other close to half a century ago. Between the two of them they only consume the one bottle of wine throughout the entire time they stay in the room with the other customers. Shortly after the sun has set they head up to the room and Tyger is mildly surprised that Giselle automatically accompanies him into as he had presumed that she had already gotten room since she had already been at the inn. He however does not complain and happily welcomes her into his room glad to make it their room.<br/><br/>Tyger is tired from only sleeping when he got exhausted enough to ignore the energy pulsating through the shadows for the past two weeks and waking to continue traveling when it awakened him again. But he is not too tired to spend time and energy to make slow passionate love to Giselle before falling asleep with his arms wrapped tenderly and lovingly around her. Shortly before dawn he suddenly awakens with a start as he feels a short but intense burst of the same energy coursing through the very fabric of shadow. The burst is replaced by a steady but less intense thrum of that energy.<br/><br/>Tyger awakens his lover and fellow hero gently but tells her that she needs to quickly get reequipped and why. Sunrise finds them already geared up for battle moving rapidly through the city streets heading for a gate. Shortly after the sun rises a strange roaring sounds fills the air and two what looks giant metal wingless hornets streak across the sky and appear to come to ground just outside the city wall. Tyger and Giselle sprint the rest of the way to the gate. The guard commander at the gate recognizes Giselle and orders the other guards to clear the way so she and Tyger can get to top of the wall without resistance. Looking out beyond the city they see the giant metal bugs hovering just above the ground with strange single eyed humanoid creatures completely encased in metal armor stepping out of them in a manner that looks very much military troopers disembarking from a ship in preparation to an assault. Without taking his eyes from forming troops Tyger commands, “Seal the gates!”<br/><br/>Well before the strange soldiers are within long bow range some of the attackers take up positions and point the objects they are carrying at the wall and bursts of fire flash from them. Suddenly guardsmen start falling with bloody holes appearing in their bodies as well small explosions blowing chips of stone off the wall itself. The attackers not yet firing their weapons start running towards gate. Not being stupid the uninjured guards duck down behind the ramparts even though they have no idea what is cutting them down. Then the sounds of the small explosions reach the walls. Tyger recognizes the same type of weapons as that of the strange metal golem from yesterday. Ducking behind cover himself Tyger looks at Giselle and she can see his eyes go from charcoal to red as his hood and mask envelop his head and face. He seems to just fade into the shadows with his eyes the last thing to disappear.
