Shortbow
Shortbow Damage
Pierce curses as his shot misses terribly.
Shatter turns his head such that only the Riedran can see his eyes, and a sickly glow emanates from them once more.
Is the human up on crates - is it possible to attack/target the crates?
Viktor will cast Burning Arc again, hopefully with a bit more success.
Reflex 18 for 1/2 damage
@DMB - will Viktor's Flaming Arc ignite the woodwork?
Kiana raises a white eyebrow, and then nods. "I will neither confirm nor deny any plans to travel in to the area you speak of. However, if I were to travel to such a location, and someone tried to kill me, I would have no problem with sending you word of where to locate their bodies, so you might know that they are dead and will trouble your citizens no more." There is no hint in her demeanor that anything other than the deaths of those who attempt to kill her is fated. Given the blood pool on the floor, that may have some good reasons behind it.
She turns to Atsu. "For a human, you were adequate in a fight. I would hope I never am forced to kill you."
"Do we have anything else to acquire here?"
Kiana looks at her feathers critically. "Some preening oil and a new feather pic would be nice, if they have that here. Other than that, I do not think so."
"In a map shop, almost certainly not. I think those kinds of accoutrements are unlikely in a human village of this size. If there's an alchemist, maybe he or she could mix some useful oil. I don't know what would substitute for a feather pick."
Pierce grasps at the flaming box with his Quarterstaff and heaves it towards the door!
Kiana looks at Atlus, then back to the guards, and sighs. "Humans..." Having confirmed that humans are basically scum, yet again, she heads out into the city again and stretches her wings. She does wait for Atsu before giving a downbeat and launching into the air. "I believe I will see to the oil shop, you may come along if you wish, or wait here for the others, as you please." If Atsu comes along, she sets a slow enough pace with her flight that it's easy to follow along.
As she flies, she keeps an eye on the city....
"bllllbbbpppp....gibber gibber gibber......"
Dammit!
Pierce moves to pick up Tawk while lamenting the fact that he let the drugs get away, and now the damn building may burn down and cover his best chance to recover them.
My first day here is going into a spectacular failure, rapidly...
Kiana sniffs the air, and sighs. She turns and looks down to Atsu, from where she hovers 10 ft off the ground. "I will bet you a gold piece that, considering how my life has been going lately, that the others are either in a fire, or have started a fire."
Kiana shakes her head. "Not that type of oil. Mineral oil, comes from stones, doesn't burn, at least, not without a lot of alchemist fire, or a very very hot forge. Only a moron would use lamp oil on their body."
Kiana snorts. "Thank the goddess. I can't imagine what sort of nightmare humans would be if they could fly. They're bad enough as it is grubbing about in the dirt."
Pierce turns once they get far enough away from the building and places Tawk on the ground to tend to him.
Heal check staunch any bleeding -
"Well, that went poorly..."
Kiana looks at the blood, the wounds, and the burning building. She glances down at Atsu. Then she lands lightly next to him.
"I don't know, it looks somewhat better than I expected. They all seem more or less alive, and more or less in one piece."
Giving a light chuckle, she moves closer to the group. "It appears we need to be in this village a few days, I saved us several hundred gold, for the map, but it requires a few days of me scribbling new maps for the map maker's hut."
Later: "Town hasn't burned down, either. This might not be the worst start."
Tawk is still frightened of something, though it appears to be wearing off... His incoherent babbling is heard even through his mask...
"gibber gibber gibber"
Kiana nods to the two guards, politely, and looks toward the rest of the group to see how they answer the guards.
Shatter remains silent, waiting for the one who started the fire to answer.
Tawk is incoherent, and unable even to point or address the watchmen...
Shatter will speak up, lest the silence condemn them.
"There was a human that attacked us. In the ensuing fight, some crates caught fire. One of our band is within, attempting to put the fire out. The enemy fled by way of psychoportation."
Pierce looks to the guards, "Indeed, my friend here has accurately described what took place. Tell me, do either of you know who owns that warehouse?"
"I have no compunctions regarding remaining here. I also cannot track that sort of movement."
"That won't work, unless you have 350 gold pieces to spare." She tells the rest of the group. "The maps you wanted are expensive, and I'd worked out a deal with the map maker to make him some updated maps, in exchange." She sighs. "I've bought a cartographer's kit for now, so in the future, I can trade pre-created maps. But I'll need a couple of days and an uninterrupted place to work..." She looks around, and nods at the tallest building in the area. "That rooftop looks good, assuming it doesn't rain."
