Xanxus's foots steps start moving after the woman, "First missing children, Desperate childless mothers, and now rambling old man men..." he mutters aloud spitting on the ground and rapidly marching to catch up to the woman. Her poor search pattern he imagines is due to poor training and desperation. "Come let this foolish task be done with soon." he hisses out his mace flung in the direction of the woman.

Domitius flicked his wrist and the three skeletons were swallowed by earth and cobblestones. He knelt beside the fallen creature and pulled out a slender knife. Working methodically, he sliced open a forearm. He cut surgically through the ligaments, tendons, and muscle at wrist and elbow then pulled a bone free. He carefully wrapped it in a cloth and placed it into his bag.

Standing, he brushed the front of his cloak and looked around through the mist to see if his other minion had returned with Amalia yet. Speaking to no one in particular, he chuckled darkly, "Been here for less than an hour, and we've already spilt blood. Haven, you have good reason to close your doors to us!"

OOC:
Can I get a concensus from the party as to what you want to do next?

Haguk starts cleaning his sword on some nearby grass. "And looks like we'll have to spill more soon," he sighs. "If this place is as cursed as it seems."

"I'm Haguk by the way," he offers the rest as he puts his sword back.

"Elke." The dwarf mutters under her breath. "Well, what's it to be? I assume we're going looking for the little un...?"

It's more of a statement than a question. She looks around at the others. None have indicated they're as motivated by coin as she is but the thought of staying in the inn while the others charge off to look for the little girl doesn't sit well with her either. She's not frightened, but there's clearly something to be done here. A reason they all woke in this odd place.

"Yes we're looking for a little frightened child, an agony and despair riddled mother, and an old coot who is either realizing something we're not or there was a reason he was sitting at the bar without any alcohol close by." Xanxus almost spits in disgust gridding his teeth. "Maybe I'll headbutt him when we're all done... I might feel better afterwards..." Xanxus mutters to himself mostly before he lets out an evil cackle of malicious mirth.

Elke smiles. Maybe she's not going to be surrounded by golden hearted heroes after all...

While you are standing introducing yourselves you become aware of a faint musical hum wafting through the air. You would swear that it grows louder and fainter in time with the swirling of the mist. It sounds like it's emanating from the other side of town, just far enough out of reach for you to catch all of the melody. However it is highly alluring.

As the others get to know each other, the man in the strange suit only mills about, smiling and nodding at nothing in particular. At the sound, he cocks an ear and turns towards the source.
OOC:
I'm sorry, I've lost my bearings: The child, the mother, the old man, and the musical hum. All the same direction?

caledoniaman sent a note to Jabes.plays.RPG

"Well that's a good a direction to search as any, if one of you is good from afar get to the rooftops when we're closer." Xanxus states and pivots marching now in the direction of the only activity he could really perceive at this point.

The man in the odd suit executes a strange, outlandish salute (a modern-day, military salute) and marches after the one who seems to be in command here.

Haguk raises an eyebrow at the stranger and his salute, then shrugs and follows them. He keeps his sword sheated, but rests one hand on the hilt in case of another attack.

You proceed through the mists in the direction from whence the noise came. You travel forward for about 200 yards at which point the sizeable town square ends and a number of small alleyways and side streets branch off from it. The widest street lies directly in front of you.

As you proceed into the street, the overhanging balconies of the businesses and residences on either side lean over imposingly, and you imagine that the residents of the buildings could almost touch each other across the teetering narrow gap.

The mist doesn't see to be so thick here, perhaps unable to penetrate because of the high sided buildings.

The sound of yelling and struggling causes your eyes to drift back to the street and the scene before you sets your hair on end.

Two Brumelurks shuffle up the alleyway towards you, menace in their eyes. More incredibly, behind them lurks a large moth like humanoid, around 6 feet tall and built to last. Even more incredibly there is a man behind the Brumelurks, but in front of the Mothman who is in a life or death struggle with the winged humanoid. With astonishment you recognise Myrneth, the crazy old man from the Inn, who appears to be battling the Mothman to try and reach an unconscious female child, yards behind the Mothman but tantalisingly out of reach.
OOC:
Initiative please.

OOC:
is my skeletal minion present in the courtyard?
Oct 5, 2016 2:10 pm
OOC:
oops, forgot about him. He can be, or you can choose a point for him to make a dramatic entrance. Up to you.
Oct 5, 2016 2:23 pm
Xanxus hisses and bangs his mace against his shield. "Simple plan, we rush the lot of them and someone grab the girl, they'll no doubt chase us for us and the back alleys makes for nice ambushes. We light these two robe boys up and rip off the tall one's wings. We hang all three from a tall point and the old coot gets boxed in the ear once we know he's okay." he offers.
OOC:
Basic Tactical Strike doesn't recharge so it's burnt till a long rest. Elke & Cirdire are with me at +4 to initiative.

A skeleton shambled from one of the side streets, and Domitius' face split into a wide grin, "Ah, there you are. And well done finding the girl! Now to dispose of these magnificent specimens and return her to her mother. Cast some light on things, won't you?"

The skeleton erupted into purple flame and began moving toward the scuffle taking place.

Haguk is at +4 so 13 total. Unsure why he's listed as Cirdire on the game details page.
