Chapter 1: Year 1281, Summer

Shannout turns to see the man and let's out a loud laugh. There you are, coward! he yells out, before running through the quickly parting crowd, closing the distance as best he can. (Shannout takes the Dash action and his movement to move 60 feet closer to the man. He's now 15 feet away.


The raggedy man is surrounded by the searing radiance of Vlur's attack, and as he throws one arm across his face, the blinding glory is too much and he sways momentarily before collapsing to the ground in a pile!

Marie-Louise
Ci
Black-Hooded Man
Uriel
Shannout

Marie Louise crawls around, looking up through a set of splayed legs and launches a crackling beam of energy that slams into his ankle. With a shriek he flails backwards. Just as he does, Ci moves just close enough for his dart to make contact. It spears the man's ear, dangling from the torn cartilage like a demented earring.

His eyes cloud in a fury, as he whirls around and grabs a nearby halfling woman. Swirling purple energy surrounds her as her face rips open in a tormented scream! Her eyes roll back and he drops her to the ground, a lifeless husk.

Fhaagathra! Zgrah'latah C'thalet tchougwa naretha! he screams.In the distance, you hear screams echoing a call for the Green Legion to help!

Shannout

Uriel gets closer to Marie, looking for threats. Shannout closes the gap and tries to grab the man, but he rolls out of your grip, surprisingly agile! Vlur looks at the bleeding man and applies a little pressure to a few key places to stop the tide of death before rising up and running towards the hooded man!

Marie-Louise and Ci both launch their attacks, finding it easier to hit the man now that the crowds are dispersing some.

As Marie-Louise's mental voice echoes through the crowd's head in the immediate vicinity, you hear a smattering of yells and questioning, stuttering, remarks. The crowd bolts, running full on away from where Uriel and Marie-Louise are standing.

When Ci lands, the man's eyes widen slightly and his mouth works silently, clearly hearing Marie-Louise's voice. Turning to run away from where he is, he darts into the nearby stall, throwing a table laden with piles of spices over onto the ground, sending a cloud of dust into the air.

From the backside of the square, a continued cry for the Green Legion goes up. You can hear a shrill signalling whistle in the distance.Combat Time! Bold below can act now.

Ci slashes out, but the Aven can't quite get a solid grip on his dagger as he slashes out and he misses entirely.

Uriel stands protectively over Marie, watching as the crowd runs away from him.

Shannout moves quickly through the emptying square and manages to just barely reach across the spice table as the black hooded man goes to move away. He's able to just hook his fingers around the man's arm, stopping him dead in his tracks!
