The Outer Farmsteads

[Empusa Sesshi]

The orcs look taken aback for a split second, but don't dare waste this opening, one swings his heavy club down, and connects with the back of Bruce's head with a loud CRACK.

[Goose]

"...The head... that is... mine... pain."

Bruce is then out like a light, and falls straight forward... and on top of Kraus. His large frame might prove difficult to escape from under.

[Duck]

Ok guys... enough's enough. you've lost one, you don't wanna go too right?

You've got enough and done enough, just go, and don't come back *he still has his sword drawn*

[Empusa Sesshi]

The look from Kraus to the unconcious Bruce, then back to Kraus. "You want live, give gold."

[Duck]

I've killed one of yours and you demand gold from me?

Bruce is out, but he'll live, and the longer I stall you, the quicker the guard gets here.

[Empusa Sesshi]

"Little man make good point." So they all converge on Kraus and Bruce. Now Kraus may be able to handle an orc or two...when he's got surprise on his side. But eleven of them...

[Duck]

Or we could talk about this democratically. Uh... Now I may LOOK helpless, but I'm a powerful mage! My friends blood is a powerful and potent ingredient in the dreaded Spray of Malcoth!

It starts with the deteriation of the skin, then leads to the rupturing of the bowels, just keeping you JUST enough alive as the marrow in your bones burn. Care to try?

*course he's bluffing, but they don't know that. He is small... and wizards are small*

[Empusa Sesshi]

They look at each other nervously a moment, before a sharp nasally voice echoes from the door. "He's nothing but a common gutter rat you idiots."

[Duck]

Oh... perhaps you've never heard of the Great Wizard Kristianitus. I am pestered so much by people asking for favor, I resort to consorting with peasants like him.

*he tries to look confident as he smirks*

But you're more than willing to try me

[Empusa Sesshi]

A thin man with the typically evil goatee steps out, wearing crimson robes line with silver runes. "He has not an ounce of arcane skill within him." He looks contemptously at Kraus...before regarding Bruce. "...ahh...a warrior of the Dal'neith temple..." He looks rather enraged at this. "See how great you are after this..." He throws a hand out, and Bruce is hit by a rather powerful spell, causing Kraus' hair to stand on end. The weight of Bruce on him begins to lighten...just as he passes out.

[Duck]

*is unconcious too now... not a good protector at all*

[Goose]

After some time, Bruce slowly awakens with a seething headache. He pushes himself up off of Kraus. After rubbing the sore spot on his skull, he checks on his small friend.

"Kraus, you must do the awakening... are you in the wellness?"

[Duck]

... ack... dude... what is your problem.. I had that guy... and god who was that guy. totally ruined my bullshit.

[Goose]

Bruce rubs his throat, as his voice unusually high pitched and squeaky.

"The answer to it is not the violence... killing evil is still killing, Kraus."

Bruce looks down to adjust his sash, as his pants feel way too loose on him.

[Empusa Sesshi]

Bruce looks down and gets an eyeful of a rather perky pair of breasts, easily viewable as his shirt is now draped in a pool around his ankles.
