The warrior was injured, healed, and then immediately injured again in quick succession. Barely able to stand after the vicious dog bite, Aldezar refused to abandon the woman who was beside him, apparently paralyzed with fear. Studying his remaining enemy, he looked for an opening before attacking again with his sword.

That will be sufficient. The last dog is put to the sword and expires. The woman nearly swoons with relief and wraps her arms around Aldezar. "Thank you! I thought that I was dead for sure!"
Nov 30, 2024 1:14 pm
Dear lady, what happened?

Aldezar himself looks close to collapse, but holds firm as the woman embraces him. He gently wraps his left arm around her for a moment, while holding his still bloody sword behind him. Not knowing what else to say, he only whispers. "You are safe now."

When Breg approaches, Aldezar releases the woman so she can speak with the stranger while he checks the injuries he has received and attempts to stop the bleeding.

Eril breathed a sigh of relief, sword still in the air to swing down on the dog, as it was finished off. He lowered his blade and sheathed it, the threat gone for the moment. He saw the two strangers tending to the woman and decided it was best to check on the dead man. Maybe he could find some documentation on him that would identify him.
OOC:

Going to kneel down next to the body of the dead man and search him for anything that would identify who he is.

Here, Lady, you should feel better now.

Zirah groans in agony at the pain in her leg. She uses her lantern staff to slowly make her way toward the others.

"Thank you for your assistance. I am uncertain what would have happened if you had not been around." She walks over to where the others are, hoping to see what the matter with the woman was or what the explanation of events were if nothing else.

Lunory lend her a paw for her to stand-up.

"If there is dogs around, you can always count on me to fight like an angry tiger ! Lunori, to serve you, my lady, I am but a humble bard."

Zirah nods to the pawed person. "I am Zirah, currently in pursuit of my natural arcane powers, but I have been known to be many things to many people. Zirah El-Hadid."

Breg: "Dear Lady, what happened?"

The woman turns to Breg and buries her face in his chest. "Oh, gods! It was terrible! Those dogs! They... They killed that man!"

A search of the man's body provides no information regarding his identity.

Freed from the crying woman, the warrior examines the dogs, wincing slightly from his injured leg as he leaned down to check them. Aldezar then starts looking around at the ground. "Did you see which direction they came from?"

He looked around for tracks related to the dogs, although the park was well used and may not reveal anything.
OOC:

I assume there are stray animals around the city. Has Aldezar ever heard of any packs of dogs or people being attacked?

Lunori bow in front of Zinah.

"Lady Zinah if you accept, I will be happy to follow yourtory, yours looks like the ones that makes great stories. Why did they attack the man ?"

He goes then toward the man to search him in an effort to find who is that man.

"I must confess that I do not."

A search turns up nothing of use to any of you; no identification and no weapons (which is odd, as most people at least carry a dagger for use at mealtimes).

Breg look at the fallen man’s face. Then our green-cloaked ranger checks the man’s hands and arms for any tattoos or curious markings. Perhaps that Breg recognizes the man from urban experiences!

Aldezar stood looking around the path, not having spotted any tracks indicating where the dogs had come from. He spoke out loud, but as much to himself as anyone else. "Four dogs with the same brand attack a man in the park. No indication of where the dogs game from. Anyone recognize this symbol of the cracked skull?"

Seeing that no one else had any more idea than he did. "All the dogs are together, linked by a brand, and people do not brand strays. Someone has to own these dogs. What are the chance that four dogs accidentally attack a man in the park without their owner being around."

Aldezar looks around the park to see who else is around besides them and the woman, especially anyone who might be watching quietly from a distance.
OOC:

What nationality is the man? Is it apparent?

Breg checks the man over but does not find any markings or tattoos that would indicate his name or allegiance. It is apparent that he is human, probably of Kortezian origin.

Eril stands up after investigating the man and finding nothing of note. "What a shame this loss of life is." he bowed his head and gave a small prayer over the man's body, it wasn't a full ceremony of last rites, but it would be all that he could do now.
Dec 15, 2024 10:23 am
"If you want my opinion, it’s terrifying that dogs would attack a man in the park during the day and kill him. There's something fishy about this, and trust me, I know a lot about fish!"

As Lunori speaks about fish, his tongue flicks across his lips, and a newfound intensity burns in his eyes.
