After ambling about in the city doing your shopping. (Tell me in OOC if you bought anything so.) You are all heading to the dancing djinn. The rain has now picked up and is a steady shower, nothing too inhospitable but definitely enough to give you all a good soaking since you were still a about 10 minutes away.<br/><br/>This left Ariana very vexed for obvious reasons as she quickened her pace to the feast hall. Once you all were almost to your destination the water saturation on the marmaid proved too much as her legs vanished, leaving her back in her natural form at the corner of the feast hall. (5 movement) While the mermaid was muttering about her misfortune a man staggered out into the street.<br/><br/>He was beaten and blooded and it looked like a wild animal had tore into his chest and throat, the bloodied man finally collapsed into the street seeming to bleed to death right before the groups eyes. Shortly afterwards another terrified scream came from around the corner. You turn the corner quickly, just in time to see a rather tall black haired man grasping the throat of another figure in a black cloak, he quickly tears the mans throat out and kicks him several feet to the side in a crumpled pile on the ground.<br/><br/>Another figure rushes the tall tall man while he is distracted, stabbing him in the side. A much shorter girl is behind the dark haired man, she is dressed like a dancer and has two large fans out, obviously in a defensive posture. The two are obviously backed into a corner between the buildings with several more figures surrounding them, some are armed with swords, others with crossbows. A handful lie dead at the tall mans feet.<br/><br/>It's obvious the group has no interest in your party and seems totally focused on the duo in the corner. Roll Init if you're planning to do something.<br/><br/><br/>(http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y247/samuraigary/maperz-1.jpg)<br/><br/><strong>Tall man</strong>: 22  (HP 24/44)<br/><strong>Dancer</strong>: 20  (HP 40/40)<br/>Cloaked figures: 11<br/>#1<br/>#2<br/>#3<br/>#4<br/>#5<br/>#6<br/>
