"Neither can I," Gravlax shrugs. "Would you like company? I'm free after work tomorrow."

Rev reaches over and heals his brother. Then he looks around, trying to figure out where he will be of the best use.
Most of you catch sight of her as she moves, the shadows pulling back from her to reveal a striking tiefling woman with pitch black skin and flame-red hair dressed in red and black leathers. She darts down and forward, her shortsword twisting past Rev's armor before she jumps back. "Damn." Her voice low and smoky. "Sorry about that, but you have far too many heavy hitters and the healers normally go down far easier than that."
Azhar's hand may twitch, wishing he could strike down their foe. But he is paralyzed.
Gravlax waits for something more to happen. He doesn't see anything to attack. If something rears its head, he attacks. And when the tiefling appears, he does so () but she dodges the marble.
Amaya continues her Andorean ode, still sick from Jabe's stench, but she pulls out her crossbow and loads it. Cassian goes to the corner by the waterfall and
Melilot, who had started to swing a stone at Janiven's words, lobs a deadly stone at the woman. The sound of it striking is terrifying.
Mathalen stays defensive, while Fiosa looks at the woman. "There is nothing in the dark that isn't there in the light."
Janiven fires, cursing when the woman dodges the arrow. "Devil-blooded..." her eyes searching for and finding, "The red parts of the armor are probably slightly weaker than the black."
Although sickened, Rev casts a healing spell on himself.

Gravlax raises his hand. "I have scruples," he says.

She looks around, makes a choice. "Դռնատեղ, քիչ է. Թիրախ է Սիրո մեկին:" A shadow, just like the ones you fought by the black mirror drifts out of the wall between Janiven and Mathalen. Sian dodges in towards Melilot, leaving a small opening for Rev to take advantage of () while adding a green liquid to her blade. The shortsword breaks through Melilot's defense, although the shadow flanking only flounders.
Azhar continues to stand around, saying nothing.
Gravlax strikes double-handed at the woman with his dueling sword. A good true strike.
Amaya still with the quiet song, still sick from jabe's stench, drops her crossbow, pulls her longsword which gets caught in the crush of people and she falls into the shallow mucky water.
Cassian drops his weapons and pulls his bow. The arrow just barely hitting the target.
Mathalen moves away from the shadow, opening up a pathway for Melilot. Fiosa channels, healing the injured hit points. Janiven just barely tumbles past the shadow, landing in the shallow water, firing an arrow at Sian before she stops fully.
Rev, dagger already out, strikes at woman, drawing just a drop of blood.

Gravlax raises his hand. "I have scruples," he says.
"Noted." She says with a wolfish smile, "I'll work on killing the people that don't first."

"Noted." She says with a wolfish smile, "I'll work on killing the people that don't first."

She sniffs, "You totally know what I meant."
And when the soda comes, she takes a deep drought, defiantly. Then burps quietly with a blush bubbles rise.
"Your company I'd like."
When they get back to the apartment, she packs up the meat in her backpack, pulling out a few sacks for the excess. Once done she turns on him, taking advantage of any inattention on his part to pounce.
The old man rises, moves into the small kitchen area, comes back a few minutes later with mis-matched mugs filled with an amber liquid. He hands one to Rev, sits back down and sips. Waiting to see if there is more, turning over what the younger man said in his mind.
Larko gets dark beer, although one whose alchol content is nearly non-existant.

"Rev. This is my dance. Switch with me." Azhar can apparently move again. He stretches, checking to make sure everything is obeying his brain again. Then notices that he can move forward and gain flanking. "Oh, never mind."

Gravlax turns to gaze out the window, and provides just such a moment of inattention. "I think that w--oof"
| chavamana |

Having successful snared her prey... and very likely knocked it prone to the surface of the bed which creaks in protest of the violent action... Mathalen stretches and grins down at Gravlax. "I require help to get out of this hard-boiled animal skins."
| Gravlax d'Antonio |
| Male Human Mobile Fighter 11 Acrobat 2 |
|
Gravlax raises his eyebrows at her from his prone and snared position. "I am happy to help you remove those animal skins."
| Azhar Mithra Amin |
| Male Aasimar Ranger Skirmisher 13 |
|
She sniffs, "You totally know what I meant."
And when the soda comes, she takes a deep drought, defiantly. Then burps quietly with a blush bubbles rise.
Azhar rests his head on his closed hands, looking across the table, smiling fondly at her, "Absolutely adorable." he blinks, reaches across to take hold of the cup, "may I?" he asks questioningly, and assuming she does not decline he takes a sip, then replaces the glass between them, still smiling.
Azhar and Amaya go looking for Gravlax (and Mathalen). They check his place first.
| chavamana |

The look in her eyes and the smile on her face is one of happy pleasure rather than innocence. "You were utterly pounce-able. Can't blame me."
"But, yes, help with this heavy stuff. It's great for keeping your inside on the inside, but not at all comfortable." She leans down, kisses his neck, "The metal suit must be worse."
| Gravlax d'Antonio |
| Male Human Mobile Fighter 11 Acrobat 2 |

Gravlax is at his place at work on Gozran 16. He answers the door at the first knock.
"Oh, hello. Come in," he steps aside. The room is small.
"It's not so bad once you get used to it," Gravlax says. He leans up against Mathalen (but not very hard). His mouth twitches with amusement. "I think you will need to get off me in order for me to help you out of your ... heavy stuff."
| Azhar Mithra Amin |
| Male Aasimar Ranger Skirmisher 13 |

Gravlax is at his place at work on Gozran 16. He answers the door at the first knock.
"Oh, hello. Come in," he steps aside. The room is small.
"Hi Gravlax, thank you." Azhar steps in, holds the door for Amaya, then closes it behind her. "We were considering looking around for Gargoyle nests and other sign. Amaya was thinking maybe away from the lights. Not much to go on, but just checking if you'd like to join us."
| Gravlax d'Antonio |

"Hi Gravlax, thank you." Azhar steps in, holds the door for Amaya, then closes it behind her. "We were considering looking around for Gargoyle nests and other sign. Amaya was thinking maybe away from the lights. Not much to go on, but just checking if you'd like to join us."
"Sure," Gravlax says. "Although I wouldn't know how to tell a gargoyle from an ordinary statue until it jumped me. But I figure there is some safety in numbers."
| chavamana |
|
|
She nods, although she is looking at him suspiciously.
"So maybe a ten foot pole to poke statues near possible sites?"
"Really?" her mouth quirks, "If I must." And she leans back, hands on floor then flipping to her feet.
Her dark eyes are light, "Better?"
| Azhar Mithra Amin |
| Male Aasimar Ranger Skirmisher 13 |
|
"Sure," Gravlax says. "Although I wouldn't know how to tell a gargoyle from an ordinary statue until it jumped me. But I figure there is some safety in numbers."
"And as Amaya mentioned we can look for their nests or things they leave behind. I couldn't find much of anything on it at the library though. Don't know if they excrete rocks, something more normal or nothing at all." Azhar shakes his head.
| Gravlax d'Antonio |
| Male Human Mobile Fighter 11 Acrobat 2 |
|
"I do have a useful text," Gravlax says, gesturing vaguely toward his closet. "But it's more of a survey than an in-depth work on gargoyles. You could peruse it if you'd like."
"Not better," he grins. "But easier to get onto my feet."
He does a forward somersault, ending up next to her. "Raise your hands and let me help you out of that...."
A beat. "Please."
| Azhar Mithra Amin |
| Male Aasimar Ranger Skirmisher 13 |
|
She nods, although she is looking at him suspiciously.
"So maybe a ten foot pole to poke statues near possible sites?"
"I'll have my lucerne hammer." Azhar says. He takes another sip from the glass, places it back between them, whets his lips, running his tongue over both top and bottom making sure they are no longer as dry as they feel. His eyes never leave her face. "I think I'd be more comfortable with you a bit farther than 10' from them."

"I do have a useful text," Gravlax says, gesturing vaguely toward his closet. "But it's more of a survey than an in-depth work on gargoyles. You could peruse it if you'd like."
Azhar smiles, "Could I?", and assuming it is brought out, he glances between Amaya and Gravlax, "Sorry, I may not be very sociable for a while." He does keep the book low and open so the others can look at it as he peruses through it, however.

Azhar smiles, "Could I?", and assuming it is brought out, he glances between Amaya and Gravlax, "Sorry, I may not be very sociable for a while." He does keep the book low and open so the others can look at it as he peruses through it, however.
Gravlax pulls the book out of his closet, unwraps it, sets it out.
He does look over Azhar's shoulder as Azhar reads, but not too closely.

Gravlax pulls the book out of his closet, unwraps it, sets it out.
He does look over Azhar's shoulder as Azhar reads, but not too closely.
There is a knock at the door and when someone gets it Mathalen looks around the room. To Gravlax, "I didn't bring enough food for everyone."
"If I get too far, I may stumble into another statue... and that one could turn out to be a gargoyle." She takes another drink. "But I suppose the hammer would work."
She complies, raising her arms, but not until after she leans forward kissing him.
Once the armor is off she sighs, the sound so very relieved. "It still feels like the weight I'm carring has more than halved." Her stretch is far more easy... plus it is easier to see the play of her body with the shirt stuck to her skin.

There is a knock at the door and when someone gets it Mathalen looks around the room. To Gravlax, "I didn't bring enough food for everyone."
Azhar looks up, smiles and says in a bright voice, "Hi Mathalen! Oh, no, don't worry. We didn't exactly plan this in advance, go ahead and eat. I'm busy researching anyway and can get something on the way home later. Thanks for the thought though."
"If I get too far, I may stumble into another statue... and that one could turn out to be a gargoyle." She takes another drink. "But I suppose the hammer would work."
"Yup, which is why you're gonna be staying behind me, but not to far away. Besides, you've done pretty good with that crossbow of yours."

There is a knock at the door and when someone gets it Mathalen looks around the room. To Gravlax, "I didn't bring enough food for everyone."
Gravlax answers the door. "I would have warned you, but I wasn't expecting the company either." He shrugs. "They want to go gargoyle-hunting."
| Gravlax d'Antonio |
| Male Human Mobile Fighter 11 Acrobat 2 |
|
Gravlax makes no secret of watching her stretch.
"You should wear armor more often, just so you can enjoy taking it off," he says, sliding out of his chain shirt, and doing his own stretching.
| chavamana |
|
|
Gravlax answers the door. "I would have warned you, but I wasn't expecting the company either." He shrugs. "They want to go gargoyle-hunting."
Amaya pipes up, "But that won't be until later. I'll at least need to get home soon. It was mostly seeing if you were interested and, if so, where you wanted to meet."
Her hand comes up in a so-so gesture. "Not when there are people in the way."
Once the drink is done and paid for, she gets up with a smile. "Okay. Now to make gargoyle poking plans."
She looks over at him, a smile playing on her lips. With a small shake when she realizes he is done stretching, "We did successful vanquish a ... nest of vipers. Do we get rewarded for that?"
| Gravlax d'Antonio |
| Male Human Mobile Fighter 11 Acrobat 2 |
|
Amaya pipes up, "But that won't be until later. I'll at least need to get home soon. It was mostly seeing if you were interested and, if so, where you wanted to meet."
"Interested," Gravlax says. "As for where to meet ... where did you last see it, Mathalen? Might as well start there."
Gravlax leans in and kisses Mathalen on the side of her neck. "Absolutely," he says, smiling, "I will reward you and you can reward me."
| Azhar Mithra Amin |

Amaya pipes up, "But that won't be until later. I'll at least need to get home soon. It was mostly seeing if you were interested and, if so, where you wanted to meet.""Interested," Gravlax says. "As for where to meet ... where did you last see it, Mathalen? Might as well start there."
Azhar looks up from the book, "What, 'hmm? Oh, yes. Sounds great." Looks at the positioning of the sun, "Oh, I'm sorry." turns around towards Amaya, "do we need to be getting back?" looks down with regret at the book. "Sorry, looks like I'll have to get back to you later." He notes where he is in the book and starts to rise. "Thank you so much for your hospitality and we'll see you later tonight. About the same time as last time?"
Her hand comes up in a so-so gesture. "Not when there are people in the way."
Once the drink is done and paid for, she gets up with a smile. "Okay. Now to make gargoyle poking plans."
Azhar is quick to join her, resisting the urge to pick her up and carry her along, he does not resist the urge to get very close to her again as they walk, his hand again finding her waist looking down into her face with a very affectionate look as he pulls her close as they begin their way to find Gravlax
