Surprisingly, two of Anyka's daggers find their mark. The third, however, embeds itself in the wall of the cafe.
Round 2: Anyka, Minions, Eldan, Drago

Seeing the thug attacking the pale man they's identified as the Drago person, Anyka targets him first, flipping past his companion to avoid leaving herself open as her khukri appears in her hand as if by magic, dragging the razor sharp blade across the back of his neck. As she does two of her thrown blades vanish as the third flies back to her other hand.
Anyka effortlessly slips past the attacker and deals a wicked blow to the one attacking Drago. He steps back and hurls a dagger at Drago.
The dagger puts another hole in the wall as it flies widely past the dhampir. The other two in the front approach Anyka and swipe at her with their blades.
One stumbles as the situation escalates while the other cannot hit the wily rogue. In the back, the two attack Eldan.

Eldan grins as the dagger nears him. "Nice try. Let me show you how it's done."

Piercing the first assailant's heart with his rapier, he focuses on the remaining one.

Drago was grateful to this stranger that came out of nowhere to help him. Much as it pained him to leave her in a lurch, he had to make sure Yulia was okay. Moving quickly, he came around the corner to see a Halfling fighting off on assailant, the other apparently already dispatched. The "Halfling" he recognized instantly, and figured the fight would be over soon, but time was of the essence. Closing his eyes for just a moment, he tapped into his anger at the current situation, focused on what spell should look like, then opened his eyes. Everything was purple from the glow being emitted, and upon seeing that man that dragged Yulia back here, his anger intensified. Suddenly, five bolts of energy shot forth from his eyes and struck the man.
Drago puts down the remaining assailant in the back with his spell. The paladins and other minions outside start to come around.

There was a lot that Anyka was having trouble dealing with, loss, confusion, the chaos of being in a completely different world..... but this....the heat of battle, this was normal...this she could deal with.
Taking a single step to her left, her hand darts out, deftly slipping her dagger between her previous opponent's ribs, even as she notes the others approaching. "Don't worry, there's enough of me to go around! You'll have to take turns though." she quips as her khukri slices into another of her assailants.
Anyka sends her first target to the floor while cutting into the second with a wicked slash. The minions consider falling back, but since this mission was a wash, they might as well try their luck. They surround Anyka and attack.

Hearing the sounds of continuing battle, Eldan heads toward the main room. "No time to talk, Drago. Good to see you again."
Seeing Anyka flanked, he pulls a dagger and throws it at the closest assailant .
;
Staying where he was so he could see and defend Yulia, he turned and focused on the two men. Tapping into his fear of losing her or their child, he visualized these thugs flying.
Drago manages to slam one of the thugs against the wall.

Outside, you hear the paladins and the other ruffians fighting.
In the blink of an eye, the three outside are restrained.
Anyka gives a surprised look as one of the attackers goes flying, though she continues to press her attacks.
The remaining two continue to fight despite the odds not being in their favor. The swipe their daggers at Anyka again.

Eldan moves around the counter. "Right behind you, Anyka."
He thrusts his rapier around the corner of the counter at the ruffian there.

Seeing that the pair had it under control, Drago moved to untie Yulia.
Yulia rubs her wrists. "Elias' men are drugged, they don't know what they are doing."
Round 5: Anyka, Minions, Eldan, Drago
Drago turned and yelled, "Eldan, they're drugged! Don't kill anymore of them!"
Eldan sighs. "I'll try. Anyka, think you can be gentle?"
"Not really my style, but I'll try to be nice." Anyka replies, taking a step back from the man, and making both of her blades vanish with a flick of her hands. She gives the thug a look that makes it clear that she was awaiting his next move.
The remaining man looks around and sees that he is alone. "S-s-s-Solomon said no witnesses...I...I..."
He falls to his knees and starts retching.

"So...is that your official surrender?" Eldan asks, putting his weapon away.
The man falls unconscious in a pool of his own vomit.

"Ugh.." Anyka mutters in disgust. Going over to the opponent that lay bleeding on the ground, she tears off a piece of his shirt and wraps it around one of her cuts, looking out the door at the paladins. "So...."

The paladins hold the three retching men. Luth looks up at Anyka. "I'll apologize later. Any left alive in there?"

"Three, maybe," Eldan says, going to the downed men that were still alive and administering two of his healing potions to them. "I better be compensated for this."

Yulia gives Drago a kiss on the cheek. "Thank you for coming to my rescue. I hope that letting myself get captured paid off."
"Anybody have some rope to tie up these guys before they come to?" Eldan asks.

Yulia goes to her stash of gear she keeps behind the counter. "Will fifty feet be enough?"
"I would hope so," Eldan answers, dragging the survivors together.

Anyka sees Chris, Gashka, her family and a stranger approaching. Luth turns to Anyka. "We'll be back for the others."
He turns to the other paladins. "Let's get these three to the fort."
They march past the approaching group and Luth gives Gashka a nod of the head. "I'm sorry for not immediately kicking in the door. You've got good instincts."
Yulia ties up the three men and sighs. "This is going to be a lot of cleaning..."

Eldan looks up at Gashka, who just appeared. "Two dead bad-ish guys. Other than that, we're just peachy."
"I'm closed," Yulia says absently.
Chris steps inside. "You're wounded, Eldan. You too, Anyka."
He walks up to both of them, healing their wounds.
"That's better," Eldan says.
She nods, "I'm just glad you were in time."
Looking at the pale woman she shakes her head, "It's okay, we're not here to trouble you for anything. I just wanted to make sure everyone was okay since Anyka and Eldan didn't join up with us after picking up Chris's supplies that he needed. I'm sorry your place got turned into such a mess and you would be the mother of his child that Barclay talked about? You shouldn't have to clean this up by yourself, if you'll give me just a little bit to get my folks that just showed up somewhere comfortable to wait for us, I'll come back and help you clean it up." She suggests offering the woman a bit of a smile.
"Yes, I'm Yulia," the dhampir says, offering her hand to Gashka. "And, no offense, who are all of you?"
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
"I'm Eldan," the disguised kobold says. "I met Drago after...some strange circumstances in Lysse."
Don't tell her that Drago's friends killed you, Eldan tells himself.
"We're new here." Anyka answers, sighing in relief as Christophe heals her. "We're going to be working for the town to take care of problems here and there. Gashka noticed a couple of those guys acting suspiciously.....and here we are."
Yulia gives Drago a kiss on the cheek. "Thank you for coming to my rescue. I hope that letting myself get captured paid off."
Drago gently embraced Yulia, "I'm just glad you're unharmed. I.......I just don't know what I would do if you were." He let her loose and followed her out the main area.
Yulia ties up the three men and sighs. "This is going to be a lot of cleaning..."
"I'll help with that."
Turning to the knife wielder, "My thanks for the help, Anyka is it?" He was guessing since the Half-Orc, whom he guesses was Gashka, Unusual names.
Turning to the strange man that healed the Halfling, "Sorry, I didn't catch your name."
Looking at the man with the pale skin coloring and strange name she says, "His name is Christophe, but we call him Chris. I'm sorry, it's been a really strange day. I'm Gashka." She says, taking Yulia's hand in a gentle yet firm handshake.
Taking a look around she says, "I'm sorry about your place. I have to take my parents to see my other sister, but if you'd like some more help cleaning up I can come back after taking them to her. Looking over at Anyka she actually smiles, [b]"Papa and mama are here with Dran and Sara....they're wanting to see Derika." She seems closer to her old self than Anyka has seen her in a long time, and it's obvious that she had been crying.
