(When we entered the inn, there was a level 1 alt named Psuedonym laying on the ground with this RSP:
There's a knife in his eye and a scroll is attached to the hilt. A seed lays on his chest.
The scroll, if you were to unfurl it, reads:
"It has come to my attention that I am not the only on tracking the warlock. Most would find this fortunate, but I am not one to compete for my prey. I would ask you to cease your search for him, but I know that would do me no good. Goodbye.
Sincerely,
Shala"
Shit might just have gotten real. )
[17:55:47]Aleyna raises her eyebrows and eyes the body.
[17:55:49]You look around.
[17:56:11]Aleyna makes a brief hand gesture. It looks like a 'stay' motion. She goes to look around.
[17:57:04]Aleyna pauses and glances from the man and to the stairs.
[17:57:50]Aleyna sighs and pokes the man with her foot. Nope, nothing.
[17:58:08]Aleyna spots the paper and kneels to pick it up, unrolling it and quickly reading.
[17:58:10]You kneel down.
[17:58:38]Aleyna pulls down her mask and finally speaks. "Shit."
[17:58:49]Psuedonym || There is a small bulge on the man's chest, under the seed.
[17:59:06]Aleyna calls to the corner of the room. "He's dead. Someone got here first."
[17:59:13]Peregrinne breathes out of his nose as he shifts his weight, boards creaking under his boots softly, finally.
[17:59:26][Peregrinne] says: No shit.
[17:59:38]Peregrinne leans on the rail.
[17:59:41]Aleyna waves the paper around, "Furthermore, someone knows we're lookin'."
[18:00:00]Peregrinne jerks his chin. "S'under there." He points a square finger at the budge to help.
[18:00:15]Aleyna raises her eyebrows and looks down. "Under what?"
[18:00:44]Peregrinne squats on his heels. Very, very carefully, he lifts up the shirt to peer at it.
[18:00:48]Peregrinne kneels down.
[18:00:50]Psuedonym || A faint click sounds as the seed falls off the man's chest.
[18:00:59]Peregrinne SCRAMBLES backward!
[18:01:18]Aleyna is completely confused. She looks down again.
[18:01:21][Aleyna] says: It's just a body, Grinne.
[18:01:32][Peregrinne] says: ...Shit clicks an' you just STAND there?
[18:01:46][Peregrinne] says: How the hell are you still ALIVE?
[18:01:51]Psuedonym || The bulge and seed explode violently, ripping the body to shreds. Almost immediately, another, louder blast is heard from the doorway.
[18:02:03]Psuedonym || Aleyna would have time to get back if she were quick.
[18:02:05]Aleyna blinks. She jumps back after THAT bit!
[18:02:26]Peregrinne sneers, shocked, jumping to his feet.
[18:02:47][Peregrinne] says: 'Leyna! 'LEYNA.
[18:02:57][Aleyna] says: WHAT.
[18:03:06]Psuedonym || A large bag placed on top of the entrance detonates a second after the body does, sending flaming wreckage crashing down to block the way.
[18:03:17]Peregrinne just curses in response, a string of angry words.
[18:03:22]Psuedonym || Smoke begins to fill the room.
[18:03:29][Peregrinne] says: Shit, shit, shit, shit...
[18:03:40]Aleyna braces herself on the railing and pulls her mask up again.
[18:03:40][Peregrinne] says: C'MON.
[18:03:56]Aleyna places a hand to her face and runs down to meet him.
[18:04:07]Peregrinne covers his mouth and nose with an arm. With the other hand, knee, foot, he begins to pry boards from teh broken windows.
[18:04:36]Psuedonym || Flames now lick the wall closest to the entrance, devouring the rotten old wood greedily, spreading quickly along the floor.
[18:04:49]Aleyna gets what he's doing and moves to try and help. She may not be as strong as him, but she manages to pull one off. Victory!
[18:05:22]Peregrinne works as fast as he can! Once one board is off, he drives a fist into the window, breaking glass and bending lead and slicing the leather of his glove (and probably his hand).
[18:05:58][Peregrinne] says: Shit, shit, SHIT. Shit CLICKS an' you don't jump BACK an' NOW we got THIS!
[18:06:22]Peregrinne doesn't particularly care about chronological order or cause and effect. He keeps trying to pry the boards off.
[18:06:29]Aleyna scrambles to pull apart the window. She yells a she works, "SORRY, OKAY?!"
[18:06:35]Psuedonym || The flames slow as they reach the stone fireplace, but continue spreading. Parts of the ceiling are falling down now, and smoke obscures almost all vision.
[18:07:08]Peregrinne grunts hard as another board comes free, rotten and damp. There's a hole, big enough for a skinny elf.
[18:08:09]Aleyna glances over her shoulder quickly as she coughs. She squints at the hole and makes a dive for it, squirming through the area, tearing her leathers in the process. She ends up loosing the cloak when it snags on the glass.
[18:08:50]Aleyna losing =/= loosing.]]
[18:10:01]Peregrinne is grateful for the air, but he works in a panic now. Aleyna's out, time to save himself. He tries at first to break more window by using the rotten boards, but they're... rotten.
[18:10:07]Psuedonym || A piece of the ceiling falls on the body, setting it ablaze. The fire was stopped by the stone floor downstairs, but has quickly spread to the second story and is blazing like... well, like wildfire.
[18:10:57]Aleyna manages to find a piece of broken metal outside! She grabs it and yells, "STAND BACK!"
[18:11:03]Psuedonym || Pieces of the wall start to fall away as the ceiling begins to buckle.
[18:11:07]Peregrinne takes a deep, smoke-filled breath, hacking a cough, having uncovered his mouth in the rush to get the window clear. He backs up.
[18:11:13][Peregrinne] says: A'RIGHT!
[18:11:39]Aleyna swings with all of her might and busts out what's left of the glass around the elf-sized hole. He MIGHT be able to fit through!
[18:12:13]Psuedonym thinks he ought to take the badass route and burst threw the weakened burning wall. Or he would think that, if he weren't dead.
[18:12:25]Peregrinne gets out a very articulate "FUCK!" before he takes a running jump at the window. If he can't fit through it, he'lll BREAK the rest.
[18:12:48]Peregrinne crashes through it, rolling on the ground outside, coughing.
[18:13:16]Aleyna takes the IC route out! Doo dee doo~ ]]
[18:13:30]Psuedonym || The inn blazes behind them, beams buckling.
[18:13:43]Peregrinne kneels down.
[18:14:05]Peregrinne gets up as soon as he can. "We got to go. We got to get. You still got the note? You keep it?"
[18:14:21]Aleyna rushes over to Peregrinne and nods. She has the note between her fingers!
[18:14:43]Peregrinne grabs her arm, running and coughing into the woods.
[18:14:51]Aleyna chases after!
[18:15:16]Aleyna pulls down her hood again, wheezing another cough.
[18:15:17]Peregrinne catches sight of the graveyard.
[18:15:25][Aleyna] says: Shit.
[18:15:38][Aleyna] says: I thought I was finished with explosives.
[18:17:13]Peregrinne breathes hard.
[18:17:16]Aleyna rests her hands against her palms and finally just lands on her rear end.
[18:17:26]Aleyna ...legs. Not palms.
[18:19:23][Peregrinne] says: ....Damn.
[18:19:26][Peregrinne] says: Damn.
[18:19:31][Peregrinne] says: 'Leyna.
[18:19:48]Aleyna sighs and drops her head a bit. "Yeah?"
[18:19:57][Peregrinne] says: We're, uh. Shit. M'bleeding, so're you.
[18:20:10][Peregrinne] says: And it's Duskwood.
[18:20:38]Aleyna leans down, looking at the gash on her side. Oh, so she is. Now that the adrenaline is dying down, she begins to feel it with a groan. "Fuck."
[18:21:36][Peregrinne] says: ...We should.
[18:21:43][Peregrinne] says: Shit. Shit. I need a smoke.
[18:22:10]Aleyna laughs raspily. "We just HAD one, Grinne!"
[18:22:41]Peregrinne blinks. And looks down at her.
[18:23:06]Aleyna grins up at him weakly. C'mon, that was funny.
[18:23:13]Peregrinne begins to laugh. It builds, until it's a full, real laugh, sprinkled with coughing.
[18:23:21]Peregrinne has to sit from the laughing.
[18:23:41]Aleyna begins to laugh as well, shaking her head.
[18:24:50][Peregrinne] says: ...Ain't never been blown up before.
[18:25:27][Aleyna] says: It's not as fun as they make it out to be in the stories.
[18:25:34][Peregrinne] says: Not NEARLY.
[18:25:46][Peregrinne] says: An' punchin' out a window is HARD.
[18:26:13][Aleyna] says: Uh, yeah. Usually works if you have some knuckles or a piece of metal.
[18:26:37][Peregrinne] says: ...Or you're doin' it for your life.
[18:26:51]Peregrinne shakes his window-punching hand, though. It hurts now.
[18:26:52]Aleyna leans over to look at his hands. "How are you holdin' up?"
[18:26:59][Peregrinne] says: Fine.
[18:27:10][Aleyna] says: Good. We need to uh.. find a healer or something.
[18:27:13][Aleyna] says: Or stitch ourselves up.
[18:27:45]Aleyna pushes herself to stand, holding her side. "There's no telling what was on those windows. Scourge took out this town, after all."
[18:27:54]Peregrinne goes a little pale.
[18:27:57]Peregrinne stands up.
[18:28:02][Peregrinne] says: Yeah.
[18:28:59]Aleyna holds up her hand and glances down to it. She quickly replaces it when she notices just how much blood is coming out. It's best to not worry Grinne yet.
[18:29:27][Peregrinne] says: ...S'go. Uh. To...
[18:29:33][Peregrinne] says: Where. Go where.
[18:29:36]Peregrinne shakes his head.
[18:29:54][Aleyna] says: I uh.. Dunno. Stormwind, I suppose. There's a clinic, right?
[18:30:02][Peregrinne] says: Right.
[18:30:18][Peregrinne] says: Let's get out of here.
[18:30:26]Aleyna nods shortly.
There's a knife in his eye and a scroll is attached to the hilt. A seed lays on his chest.
The scroll, if you were to unfurl it, reads:
"It has come to my attention that I am not the only on tracking the warlock. Most would find this fortunate, but I am not one to compete for my prey. I would ask you to cease your search for him, but I know that would do me no good. Goodbye.

Shala"
Shit might just have gotten real. )
[17:55:47]Aleyna raises her eyebrows and eyes the body.
[17:55:49]You look around.

[17:57:04]Aleyna pauses and glances from the man and to the stairs.

[17:58:10]You kneel down.
[17:58:38]Aleyna pulls down her mask and finally speaks. "Shit."
[17:58:49]Psuedonym || There is a small bulge on the man's chest, under the seed.
[17:59:06]Aleyna calls to the corner of the room. "He's dead. Someone got here first."
