The group were currently sitting in the Waterhorse enjoying a
quick tipple whilst discussing the events of yesterday and what they would
possibly say to Henry in less than a month’s time.
“I don’t care at the end of the day what Henry chooses as
long as it isn’t that blasted House Surtova!” insisted Vaneer slamming his
flagon on the table.
“Agreed Vaneer, but if that’s what the boy chooses then we
can’t help it, all we can do is make sure that Henry sees everything for it is,
we hide nothing from the boy nor Surtova that way they can’t use anything
against us” responded Otto.
“Want me to stab them?” Asked Miro,
“No, that wouldn’t do us any favours” Otto said with a sigh,
“Hmmm, folks? Should this ring be hurting me?” asked Hugo as
he looked at his hand,
Miro was picking up his flagon as he started to respond,
“No, not unless Henry is being attacked”
He was halfway through his gulp when ale was suddenly
sprayed across the table as the group rushed to their feet and hastily made
their way to where Henry was staying.
As they approached the house where Henry was staying whilst
repairs where being made to the fort the group saw Henry running out of the
door towards them with an male elf in red armour chasing after him.
“Over here! Lad!!” shouted Vaneer to Henry,
“Where is Boss?” Otto asked as Henry got close and hid
behind Hugo
“His inside fighting another” young Henry responded
“Give me the boy!” the elf said as he approached towards the
group.
Vaneer in response casts a holy smite on the assailant and
shouts “We need this curd alive for questioning!”
Otto casts Deep slumber but the spell fails to affect the
Elf,
The elf suddenly stops and begins to change size and shape
into that of a large red mantis.
Natalia suddenly remembers rumours of a band of assassins
that wears red armour, that are hired anonymously and turn into mantis like
creatures.
The mantis leaps and lunges towards Hugo.
Another assassin dressed in black suddenly appears behind Otto
and attacks him from behind,
Miro moves to flank the mantis and hits the creature.
Natalia casts a fairy fire on the new assassin should she
try to disappear as suddenly as she had just appeared,
Bob attacks the mantis and manages to hit,
Vaneer uses Skybolt to shoot at the mantis and hits,
Otto steps away from the female assassin and casts a hideous
laughter at her but the spell fails to take hold,
The mantis attacks Hugo and manages to grapple the fighter,
Female assassin attacks Otto and hits him very hard,
Miro takes another swipe at the mantis and manages to sever
the creature’s leg killing instantly and forcing him to return to his elven
form,
Natalia casts flame strike on the female assassin,
Vaneer lets out a healing burst to aid Otto,
Otto attempts to cast hideous laughter again but the spell
still fails to take hold,
Boss emerges victorious from his fight,
Female assassin attacks and hits Otto again,
Miro aids Otto and moves to attack the remaining assassin,
Bob joins the fight and manages to claw at the assassin
twice,
Natalia casts a flame blade and manages to land a blow
against the assassin,
Vaneer approaches Otto and gives his lordship a cure
critical wounds spell to keep him fighting,
Otto casts scorching ray at the assassin,
Boss joins the fight and lands a successful blow,
Female assassin attacks Otto twice doing enough damage to
drop him to the ground bleeding,
Miro saves the day by almost slicing off the assassins head
with a well placed blow dropping the assassin’s lifeless body to the ground,
Natalia checks in with Boss to see what had happened whilst
Vaneer tended to the wounds of Otto and Hugo as well as making sure that Henry
was unharmed and safe.
Later in the evening the group also discoverer that there
was an attempt on Lord Nirion’s life which also failed….just.
