Mortimer looks over at Tynan, is relieved to see that there is no need to put him on a cart.
He glances behind the bar to make sure the -- humanoid previously known as (Blue) "Woman Mur-chant" -- is not beginning to move again.
Ew, what is that? Is it similar to that oozy thing Sol coup de' grace'd in Dourstone as Kendra was getting away?
From his place near the bar, he sees Solrisa and Hourpen going after Ox. "Call if you need anything..." he calls out to them. He frowns upon himself. Like I did anything useful in THIS fight...
He turns toward Red to check on him. Assuming Red is just mostly dead, he binds his hands with rope.
Ox appears to squint a little, as he turns his head side-to-side, observing the best path for retreat. With the street being barren at the time-being, he has many paths for retreat. He doesn't seem to be robbed of sight, by both attempts to do so, and his face registers no pain, only desperation. He does sparkle nicely, though.

Hedged in by his two attackers, Tynan feels their blades hit home multiple times, and slips into darkness. In the distance, he sees a welcoming white light, and feels himself drawn to it. Finally free of the pain of the hellsih environs of Cheliax, Tynan feels a great peace wash over him.
From within the light, two figures emerge, one his size, and one smaller. He instantly recognizes them as his family, taken from him years ago.
"Daddy! the smaller one yells, and moves more rapidly toward Tynan. He drops to one knee, and speads his arms wide to once again feel the loving embrace of his daughter, while his wife smiles at the reunion.
Just as his daughter is about to reach him, he feels himself being yanked away from them and the light, and the darkness once again swallows him up.
----
Tynan opens his eyes to see Eri standing above him, the lasts wisps of magical energy fading from his glove.
Tynan is aware of shouting around him, but can make out none of the words through the crippling emptiness that once again engulfs him. Instinctually, he reaches out and picks up the sword lying next to him, but can do nothing other than lean against the tavern wall and feel numb.
Eri fails to blind Ox, but pretties him up just fine. Hourpen runs out of the Crooked House, seeking to keep up with the fleeing attacker. Solrisa throws an attack of her own, but it misses, possibly from the distraction of the glittercloud. Ascaria lends his own attempt at blinding Ox, but fails to do so. Mortimer binds the poor, unconscious mur-chant. Tynan continues to ground himself in the tavern.
Ox continues to retreat, taking to various smaller allies. He does his best to break line-of-sight whenever he can, though his current condition makes following him somewhat easier.

Ascaria moves to the prisoner and gets out from behind the bar . ”Mort, I can wake him up to question him, but it’ll heal him too naturally. Not to full by any means, but enough that he can fight back, so make sure his bonds are tight.”
He worries about Tynan and notes his glazed look. ”Tynan, you OK? Need a little snifter of something? Let me heal this guy so Mort can question him, and I'll get you a little something.”
Solrisa fails to bring Ox down, as he slashes back at her to discourage the chase.
He continues withdrawing, careful to avoid her blade. He seems to be doing a better job at breaking line-of-sight with the maiden.
Eri GMPC pushes on in pursuit, too.
Tarquin emerges from the back kitchen. "Please, allow me. It's the least I can do." He begins to pour something brown, to encourage Tynan in his rousing.

"Mort, I can wake him up to question him, but it’ll heal him too naturally. Not to full by any means, but enough that he can fight back, so make sure his bonds are tight.”
Mortimer throws some coin on the bar after double checking Red's bonds.
He grabs Red by whatever passes for lapels on his garb and bends him over the bar face down. If possible, he makes sure Red's feet are not in contact with the floor. He then breaks open a bottle of brew and starts pouring it over Red's head in an effort to revive him.
"Wake up, you fliboflabomustergone and so-n-so! Wake up! Do you see it?!" he asks, shaking Red's head and neck -- none too politely either -- over the bar in such a fashion that it is impossible for Red to not see the featureless humanoid laying just on the other side. "Tell us what it is! Where did it come from?! Who sent you to come after US?! Tell us NOW!"
He repeats these over-the-bar actions as Red regains conscious, occasionally kneeing Red in the underbackside for added emphasis.

Hourpen continues to move as fast as his short legs will take him. He looks to Solrisa, guessing the chase will continue.
"So we keep after him?"
Solrisa smiles at Hourpen.
"Of course. If we don't then he might hurt others," Solrisa replies, even as her new cut keeps bleeding.

Round 6, Init 14
Tynan, you OK?
Am I OK? I've once again been torn away from my family and brought back to this wretched country that worships the very devils that destroyed them in the first place. A land where insane cultists are trying to turn the living into undead, worm-riddled corpses for some unfathomable reason. A world where a dragon is assisting this insidious plot, and the gods just stand idly by and let it all happen...
Tynan sighs. "I'm fine." With more than a little resignation in his voice, Tynan stands, and motions to the cowering barmaid. "Quickly, come over here so we can help keep you safe."
Eri, Hourpen, and Solrisa continue to dash through the streets of Egorian, seeking to run down Ox and end his reign of terror. Tynan, Mortimer, and Ascaria prepare to question Red(the Accusor), as the gnome scampers over, and the giant keeps pounding at the unconscious body impatiently.

Mortimer spits a clenched teeth "Thanks!" to Ascaria, and firmly grabs The Accusor by the back of the head and forces him to focus on the corpse.
"Open your eyes! Do you see it?!" he demands to know, kneeing Red again.
"Tell us what it is! Where did it come from?! Who sent you to come after US?! Tell us NOW!"
He grips the back of Accusor's head tighter, not so patiently waiting for an answer.
For the chase/skirmish, and my sanity, hold to move actions distances only. Plenty of obstacles in the alleys, people moving back and forth in the streets...
Tynan joins in the observation of Ascaria's and Mortimer's rousing of the Accusor. With the mur-chant being laid out on the bar, staring down on the alien corpse, he begins to respond to the giant's 'encouragement'.
"That? That's a shape-shifter. He's part of our crew. You've got enemies, and they're willing to pay to see you dead. Telakin sent us, he's our leader. Ease up, will you? Nothing personal. Just business."

Telakin?
"Nothing Personal?! You almost kill our barkeep, and you expect us to not take that personally?! You sorry excuse for a thug-for-hire!" Mortimer bellows in disgust. He gives an apologetic glance to the ladies and barkeep for what he's about to do, then grabs Accusor by what remains of his trousers and unceremoniously flings him to the floor. He kicks him in the floating ribs.
"You fool!! Do you even know who our real enemies are?! What did they pay?! Who hired Telakin to send you after us?! Who is the 'She' who failed to mention that we had a healer?!! Where do we find her?!"

What did they pay?! Who hired Telakin to send you after us?! Who is the 'She' who failed to mention that we had a healer?!! Where do we find her?!"
The Accusor hits the floor, then the foot. He cringes in pain, spitting blood from a likely bitten tongue from his unceremonious fling from the bar.
"Aw, now you're just being daft. You think any boss in his right mind is going to give us pissants any real nuggets? We only know there's a 'she' for what Telakin mentioned. Briefly. No, we get paid, we do a job, and it's better not knowing. I'll say the same to the guards when they get here."
Lulu remains where she stands, behind the resident merchant, her eyes looking Tynan over in wonder. The resident merchant does his best to comfort her, but seems to be reassuring himself of his current health as much as he reassures the barmaid.

Ox slashes at the maiden, trying once again to discourage her from the pursuit. His look of disgust is barely concealed, as he recognizes his earlier slash no longer bleeding healthily.

Mortimer lifts Accusor off of the ground and slams him to the wall, pinning him there.
"You said 'She didn't mention' that we 'had a healer'... you and your crew were there for the deal. People like you are the biggest problems of all -- you cause more damage and pain with your greed and apathy than any one evil organization ever could."
I should just put him out of his ignorant misery now...
He starts to shake the Accusor, repeatly slamming his body into the wall, not to really bruise him -- just enough to daze him. His eyes burning as he glowers and growls at the Thug.
"Tell us -- how much were you paid, and where do we find 'Her' and Telakin?"
The Accusor turns a petulant eye to Mortimer, abuser of helpless, bound women. She looks at him, considering her next words carefully.
"Dwarf. Merchant. Serving maiden. There is only one dead here, and these degenerates are responsible. They did nothing to apprehend, only slaughter. This one here," a finger pointing at Mortimer, "wants to put me out of my misery, right here, right now. He whispered it to me, just now."
She's not being truthful, regarding Mortimer's alleged whisper...
"If these are truly law-abiding citizens, they will turn me over to the Guard. I will not resist them, and I have no weapons on me."
She looks up at Mortimer, and glares.

The Accusor, pinned to the wall by Mortimer, suddenly and almost incomprehensibly morphs from male into female. In front of the remaining presumably neutral Bar witnesses -- she inexplicably delivers a suggestive and potentially reputation damaging Accusation to the group.
Somewhat taken aback by the shape change, Mortimer's eyes widen, but he does not release his grip on the Accusor.
"Nah, nice try... you're one of those shape shifters! Everyone of these people here will remember that you --", he slams Accusor into the wall again -- "and your crew threw not only the first blow first, but the second first as well. They'll also recall that one of you stabbed poor Tarquin nearly to death -- he'll not soon forget that either."
His aspect becomes even more grim.
"I never said I was going to kill you now," he seethes, "but I thought about it."
"Sorry. Normally, I would never consider doing this to a bound -- being, but I can't have you in my head or other peoples' heads."

He lets go, allowing the body to slump to the ground.
As Mortimer starts walking to the door, he advises Tarquin, "You might consider finding a new Bouncer for this place."
He assumes Bouncer duty by the door, waiting for the others to return from their pursuit of Ox.
Round 8, Init 7
Hourpen continues to run forward.
Mortimer can't be sure, in and of himself, but mentioning the possibility of mind-reading allows Tynan and Ascaria to recognize a recent tingle at the back of their minds as doubt enough for the giant to shut down the poor woman.
The others seem to rouse somewhat from their personal ruminations, the smoke of the hookah still lingering in the air.
Tarquin pours more whiskey, offering it in response to Mortimer's temporary seating at the door. The dwarf keeping watch by the private room ducks back into the room, and closes the door, while the resident merchant takes a seat, and waits for the Guard to show up as well. Lulu scurries past Tynan and Mortimer, gaining the back kitchen with Tarquin and Christina.
...
Eri and Hourpen close distance with Ox, while Solrisa continues to stay close and harry him, injuring him once.
Ox circles back , flying past Eri, and slashing at him while passing!
"Should have stayed back at the bar, healer. Now, you'll just die in the street, like a dog."

He’ll then 5’ step back.

Figuring the law is likely to take everything away, Ascaria wonders if he should loot the bodies. They'll probably take it all.
Still...
He casts Detect Magic and loots their bodies. He takes the valuable loot and piles it up next to them, putting the most interesting item on the bottom.
He'll then grab a scrap of paper from his satchel, and some charcoal. He'll draw the shape shifter as best he can.
Unhappy with his result, he none the less shoves it back in his sling bag and turns to face law and order.

Tynan watches the scene unfold between Mort and the accuser, but remains near the passage to the upstairs. He nods as Lulu scurries past him to the kitchen area.
At least she should be safe in there...
Still out of sorts from his near death experience, he looks down at the unfamiliar sword in his hand.
Where did this come from?
Ascaria manages to sort through various items from the fallen attackers, drawing a look of contempt from the resident merchant, though he says nothing.

2 sets of Studded Leather (+2)
2 Short Swords (+1)
4 potions (2 CMW, 2 Invisibility)
Do you spend time removing the armor from the two mur-chants?
Round 9, Init 7
Hourpen closes the distance a bit more before sudden suddenlying closing the gap, momentarily leaving a multi-hued cascade of images behind him. As he does so he slashes out at Ox with his rapier before situating himself near Eri.

Tarquin pours more whiskey, offering it in response to Mortimer's temporary seating at the door.
Mortimer holds his hand palm out, politely declining the drink. "Never on duty, but I'll have some that later, thanks! All of you look like you could use a little something too!"
Still out of sorts from his near death experience, he looks down at the unfamiliar sword in his hand.
Mortimer, trying to play off the effects of post-adrenaline rush, looks down a the unfamiliar sword in his hand.
Where did this come from?He glances over at Tynan, currently puzzling over his own alien blade, then facepalms, nearly bruising himself with the sword's bell.
Ohhhhh, riiiight!
He walks over to Tynan, claps his shoulder once in greeting and hands Tynan's own sword back to him. "' glad you joined us again!"
He then resumes his Bouncer duty by the door.
Eri manages to miss Ox with his fondle. Hourpen complicates things, as he strikes the man in passing. Solrisa slashes solidly, but fails to confirm.
Ox seems to consider his options. He throws his blade twice, at Hourpen.
"Can't seem to scrape you off my bootheel." He eyes Eri, marking him. At the same moment, he stops sparkling.
Ascaria does not remove the armor... he's worried about time and want to make sure he gets the drawing in.
When he's done he sits at the bar and waits.

Round 10, Int 7
Hourpen shrugs at Solaria, gesturing toward his short legs.
My short legs won't get me all the way around to the oopsie side.
Then he glances at his rapier before entering a state of mystical focus and moving around Eri.

Solrisa holds Ox to his position, allowing Eri and Hourpen to press their magics into the enemy quickly enough to overwhelm him. Ox falls. As he does, his form reverts to something more amorphous. Gray skin, noseless face, while its wardrobe remains the same.
A few witnesses on the street take in the scene, as it cools.
”Woohoo! Yeh! I didn’t think we were ever get that guy. Sol, can you grab his body? We need to take him back.”
As he speaks, Eri looks for loose change.
