Sitting at the bar, The old wizard GunBlade is observing everything in his dark robe from under his black hood, his white beard brushing against the dirty bar. He knew that noFriends was coming to talk to him, he also knew why. All the new heroes came with the same question, and GunBlade was already tired of repeating it over and over...
"I've been expecting you," said GunBlade "noFriends... Why do they call you noFriends?"

@noFriends - as you saw, your action woke the poor wizard up.

------------------------------------

@GunBlade - After you finish talking to the warrior, you feel heavy hand grabbing
you from behind. The scarred brute shouts at you, smelling of wine:
"give me all your money, 'granpa'.. or I'll cut your ugly beard!"
He hold the sword in his other hand, ready for use, and his partner stands right
beside him. Everyone get away from your perimeter, leaving you alone with the
brutes. noFriends is on your other side. What will you do?

------------------------------------

@shem - sorry, events caused your turn to be lost. [you were not quick enough ]
Before you can react, you see the men grabbing the old man and threatening him. You
can run towards them, but something tells you the old man is far from being helpless......

------------------------------------

noFriends, always ready for a fight, leaps up and pulls his
mighty sword in one quick move, ready for action he glances
at the old wizard.

@Chief - the female in black sneak beside you, put something in your pocket
and slide back to different corner. You see her drawing long elegant bow and
attaching weird arrow, ready to shoot.
----------------------------
[waiting for characters...]

GunBlade sighs... "When would people learn?" He mumbles to himself as the two brutes are approaching him. Suddenly he hears the sound of a sword unsheathes near him. Realizing it's noFriends's sword, he raises his hand as a gesture to noFriends that he should not interfere. The two brutes approach GunBlade giggling to themselves, and as they do, his eyes start glowing in white-blue color as he tries to cast a fireball spell over them...

*demmit i missed me turn*

Shem stands up, but then the old man in 2 swift moves brings the men to their knees, shem watches and is quite impressed, he walks over to the old man.

@GunBlade - you successfully cast Fireball spell from the scroll, and as you
speak the words, you see them erased from the scroll. Huge ball of hot fire
appear in your hands. After throwing the ball on the brutes, everything
happens very fast. The two brutes fall to their knees and scream in agony.
Two nearby tables catch fire. One of the other people in the pub faint. Arrow
is being shot from the shadows, hitting one of the nearby peole in the audience.
In the instance the arrow hit him, the "man" dissolve into green hot acid. Two
people beside him are hurt and scream in pain. The bar keeper activate the
alarm, and the alarm is being passed outside to the city.

-----------------------------

current state in the pub:
1. the two brutes are on the floor, burning.
2. the woman in black just shot someone, and he dissolved to acid.
3. two common folk are badly injured from the acid.
each character has to decide his/her actions now according to the above.

with his brute force, noFriends picks up the injured
folk, one under each arm, and carries them, while calling for a
doctor, to safety outside the pub

shem deciding, there's nothing for him to do here, slips outside into the shadows and watches

(Sorry, mad busy in work and couldn't get online).

Dark Caller stealthily pursues the woman into the dark night (Can you see a theme here )

@noFriends - While carrying the men outside, you touch the acid on them
and get burned yourself. The pain is endless, but you can endure it. Soon
after you get out, you see the City Guard arrive - 10 warriors in uniforms
and two white robed clerics. The warriors disperse around the pub, some
of them getting inside. One of the clerics is attending the injured men and
you hear him saying to the guards:
"oh my, I haven't seen this type of injury for long years. we have to take
them to the Main Temple."
The other cleric look at your burned hands, mutter short prayer and you
feel the pain go away. Only small scars remain there.
One of the guards come towards you, you see by his ranks that he is the
officer, and ask you:
"What exactly happened there? Who are you and what did you do in the
pub? Don't lie to me young lad, for your own sake."
Also, you see about 20 more soldiers coming in the distance. Looks like
something major is happening here. What are your actions now?

---------------------------

@shem - Staying inside the pub, you see two uniformed soldiers coming inside
and talking with the barman. You also notice dark figure slip outside from the
back door, where the soldiers have not yet reached. You can stay inside and
listen to what's going on, or you can go after the dark figure. What will you do?

---------------------------

@Dark Caller - You follow the woman for couple of blocks, then she starts walking
faster and faster. Suddenly she turns around, falls on her knees and pleads:
"Please don't hurt me... What do you want?"
Her eyes are very wide, and she's very pale. What will you do?
[general note - you can't really hide with full armor and your stats are not exactly
fit for successful stealth]

---------------------------

@shadow - Having his own agenda, shadow follow the boy. Being young and
naive, the boy does not suspect he's followed and shadow see him enter big
house not far from the pub. He identify the house as belonging to Lord Jolet,
one of the city nobles. Shadow take out his Magic Missle scroll and look at it,
muttering to himself: "when will I be able to scribe this?"
"oh, I can do that now... it's very silent here and I believe
I have at least one hour."
shadow take his pen and spell book out, and very carefully
start copying the delicate characters from the scroll to blank
page in the book.

general note - I'm adding now Magic and Spells rules to the original thread post,
make sure to read it.
