As Smendor tears his blade from the chest of the bastard, Alaric reaches down and grabs the bastard by his collar.
"Who are you!he screams out as the fires lick through the smoking cottage and the smoke nearly chokes them.
Reaching forward the man tears off his mask... There, on the lower half of his face is a series of rippled sores... they are filled with rotting maggots, and much of his lower jawline seems to be missing. You can see rotten stumps of his teeth poking through the missing gaps of flesh in his face...
He stares wildly at Alaric, the mist of death pushing over his eyes.
"Who ARE you!"Alaric screams out even as Smendor raises his arm to ward off the smoke.
"The first of many..."the man spits out, the bloody phlegm dribbling from his lips as he collapse back into the floor; dead.
Alaric stands up, his face dark with disgust and rage. He spits at the fallen carrior before him.
"Bastard,"Alaric hisses.
"Enough talk, let's get the hell out of this hot house and tend to the fallen,"Smendor growls out darkly.
Alaric responds.
"Smendor, tend to the fire. I am going to take this scum outside and search him. If he is, in fact, the first of many he may have clues on him that could be valueble toward discovering more about this..."Alaric says with fire in his eyes.
Smendor chokes and waves his hand, and moves to assist at putting out fire even as Alaric attempts to drag him out of the burning building.
Ariarh is atop of Tal and riding the green slopes of her beloved home. Her hair is loose and pale blonde tendrils are wildly flowing behind her.
She is laughing, the sound joyous and carefree. Ariarh hadn't laughed like that in a long while.
As she draws closer to the ranch, Ariarh spies her father busily tending to the fences. Another repair, she thinks to herself, and lifts her hand in greeting, hoping he will see her and wave back (as was his way). Dior is flying circles above her and her horse, Tal. His happy cry filling the valley (well, the echo anyway).
Riordan Kane, stands up and looks in the direction of the griffon's cry. There is his beloved daughter and he waves at her enthusiastically. His blue eyes shining with such love.
Ariarh's heart constricts. Daddy, I miss you.
Sadira Kane walks out to her husband. Mother! and Ariarh turns Tal with a nudge of her knees and begins riding to where both her parents stand. Sadira looks up, shading her eyes from the afternoon sun. She watches as her beautiful, spirited daughter rides full speed toward her. She lifts her own hand in greeting,
"Wake up, Ariarh. Wake up, my child. Wake up, now. There is much to be done. WAKE, ARIARH!"
*
Ariarh jolts awake in the bed and barely manages to catch the sleeping griffon, now roused from her sudden movement.
"Forgive me, my friend. I did not mean to wake you." Ry was breathing hard as she stared at the little griffon.
"Just a dream, it was just a simple dream." Dior stares at her a moment or two and crawls higher in her lap, rubbing his face against Ariarh's stomach.
"It felt so real, Dior. If you need to rest some more, please go back to sleep. I think I need to get up and wash my face", Ariarh looks about the room and only sees the sleeping brownie. In a lower voice she continues, "I need to go find the others. I don't know how long I've been asleep." Ariarh rises and places the sleepy griffon gently on the bed and surrounds him with the blanket. Dior tucks his head beneath his wing, again. May your dreams be sweeter than mine, my friend, Ariarh thinks. Ariarh quickly casts 'create water' in the empty bowl beside the bed and uses the fresh, cool water to wash the last remnants of sleep from her face. I'll go look for Brett. Ariarh leaves the sleeping quarters in search of Brett or any of the other companions.
Ariarh walks directly to the stables to check if Brett or any of the other companions are there. As she enters she spies Tal and Stybba but no sign of Stybba's owner. She strides over to stalls and gives them each a gentle pat on their necks. "Where's your master, valiant Stybba?" Ariarh didn't expect the pony to answer back, of course, but since she was seemingly alone at present, the horses were her only audience. Ariarh pulls out the two apples she found atop the barrel by the door of the stables as she entered. She feeds one to Tal and the other to Stybba and leaves them happily munching away, heading first to Oleg's office and, if he could not be found there, then to the kitchen where Svetlana would probably be cooking. It was mighty strange indeed that none of her companions seemed present at the trading post currently.
"Master Oleg, are you there?", Ariarh queries, hoping to hear an answer.
Smendor quickly moves his shield to his back and goes to each of the windows in the back room and bashed them out with a quick sequence of two handed swings of his axe. Soon after both windows have been cleared the dense smoke inside the room quickly dissipates. Smendor grabs the blanks that are setting on the bed and move into the front room.
You can hear Smendor yelling from inside the cottage,”Someone get me some blasted water.”
It seems the window curtains, and the items that had been piled at (J18) started the fire.
He then makes his way over to the west side window at (H16) and removes the derby again with a sequence of quick two handed swings of his axe.
As the smoke is clearing Smendor drops his axe and goes after the primary fire with the blanks from the other room. The fire has not really advance all that much due to the damp condition and very high humidity. The wet items are causing a lot of smoke, but very little open flame.
The other members look on the scene with a dumfound look on their faces as Smendor seemingly ignores the chance of being burned, and just goes about the job of removing the fire. There is something outside the rules of normality allowing Smendor the power to fight the fire.
