Taking a single step to put herself between Cassandra and the mob, Amira sends a pair of Kunai flying at one of Pilts' thugs with lethal accuracy.

Seeing the blood dripping form Cassanrda's wound Amira frowns, drawing a potion from her belt and handing it to her as she focuses, a shimmering aura emanating from her to envelop her companions, deflecting some of the enemies' attacks.
Eyes narrorwing, Amira takes advantage of the approaching gnome's lack of height, using the screen of the mass melee to screen her spell as she launches a ball of burning pitch drawn up form the street to slam into the executioner.
A look of shock passes over Amira's face as she grasps the pig's fate, the urban druidess exchanging a glance with Tolenn before turning a baleful glare on the raving maniac Pilts. In the stands, Cassandra can easily read the impending violence in Amira's body language. With a sigh, she draws her wand and prepares to engage.
Okay will get the character built shortly. Have had a lot going on last few days.
So Eldritch Archer could add some balance, by adding ranged combat in addition to magic.
Heh.
So with three of us looks like arcane is missing. Magus is my favorite class, how would that work with the group dynamic?
So GM Bill, any input on my suggestion? Tolenn?
So a couple things. The game of bloodpig is.......blah. I'm having a hard time even wanting to post an action, largely because I can't really even see why given the severity of the situation why the heroes would even agree to this. Secondly, with Cass's player gone and not coming back, I'm considering retiring her and Amira (off to continue fighting the good fight in another corner of the city) and creating a new character.
Dashing past Tolenn to act as a blocker, Amira drives her stony fist into one of the oncoming thugs. The oncoming opponents, the raucous cheering crowd, all had her seething with anger at the stupidity of playing Pilt's pointless game while people in her city were suffering, many dying, and the b%@&& of a Queen got away with abusing her power.
Okay. So the plan is to just try to win the game?
Amira prepares to meet the oncoming thugs, uttering a word in an ancient language and clenching her fists as her hands take on a granite like color.
Amira turns walking over to where Tolenn holds the pig and looks into the frightened animals eyes, speaking to it softly, and convincing the creature that the paladin is the greatest source of safety from the people who have been harming it all this time.
Confident that the pig should be far easier to manage now, she turns to face the oncoming opponents.
Placing her starknives back on her belt, Amira turns to Cassandra,"I'm going to go help. you keep an eye out for any nasty surprises and watch our backs, love. See you in a bit." Giving her partner a smoldering kiss the city druid flips off the balcony in a dazzling series of twists, sprining and somersaulting to land in on the field.
"That'll be one more on her side."
It might not hurt to have a druid, with both Handle Animal for the pig and Wild Empathy for the wolverines as well. I figure Cass keeps the look out /surprise back up. But if you've got a plan Tolenn, happy to follow your lead.
understandable
Getting ready to act, Amira utters the words to a spell, her skin taking on a wooden texture, as she draws a pair of starkinives. Cassandra draws her wand knowing they were mere seconds away from absolute chaos.
Looking down at where Wendy tries to figure out what to do next, Cassandra leans against Amira. "Looks like things with Tolenn are about to get interesting. I'll go get Wendy and meet you there. Back in a flash!" she says with a kiss and vanishes, appearing beside the lurking warrior.
Amira smiles and begins to shift her way through the crowd to overlook the action.
Taking in the information around them, it becomes clear that Pilts' "rule" was one of force, and could easily be toppled should he be challenged and taken down in public.
With a wink at Cassanndra, Amira begins a spectacular free climb, effortlessly shifting from one hand hold to another as she moves toward the roof of the larger structure.
Letting out a little sigh as she watches her paramour put her extremely talented body to use, the little teleporter spends a while enjoying the view, before locking her eyes on a spot at the top of the roof. With a moment of focus, she vanishes, a soft rush of air that races to fill her previously occupied space the only thing she leaves behind as she pops into existence, sitting at the edge of the roof, her legs dangling as she smiles down at her partner, only just approaching the top.
Amira and Cassandra watch silently from the rafters, counting the number of potential enemies and escape routes.
"We could try sneaking in or we can simply make an entrance." Amira comments taking in the scenario
As she scans the area, Amira reaches back t gently squeeze Cassandra's hand for a moment, providing silent reassurance without taking her eyes off her surroundings.
"Here we go." Amira says dropping down into the sewer and whispering an incantation in the ancient language, as Cassandra drops down beside her, her senses immediately orienting to feel true north.
"Not really....as long as there's a bath afterward." she replies, sharing a tiny grin with Cassandra.
"Here we go again." Amira mutters. "It's the best approach for you two to remain unseen." she says to Wednesday and Tolenn
"The ones that seem like it, will get a chance to stand down." Amira replies.
"Looks like he needs to be taught an important lesson.....empires crumble."
"Yeah, I'd heard rumors about it. Meant to look into it before the Blood Veil happened. Pilts had it commissions based on stories out of Gault. Nasty piece of work that looks like a demon's mouth. It was made and shipped here from Kingtaro, over in Cheliax." Amira answers.
"Remind me to swing by that bakery in the shingles just before sunrise." Amira whispers with a smile, observing Tolenn's more relaxed manner in her element.
Noticing Cass' attention on the surrounding area, Amira scans the nearby shadows and alleys for any observers as well.
"They wouldn't want you to die alongside them. I guarantee you, with their dying breaths, their only solace was that you weren't there. That you escaped that fate. Don't take that away from them." Amira says in a quiet intense tone. One that usually preceded violence.
"You might have more help than you think." Amira says grimly. "It sounds like this Emperor's due for a bit of a reckoning. Is that where you were headed? The tenements he hold power in?"
"Does this self professed 'Emperor' have a name? Or a palace for that matter?" Amira asks arching an eyebrow.
Leaping and swinging her way to the ground, Amira, while not quite as graceful as her partner, lands behind the young man with the silence of a ghost.
"She's right you know. And I'd only with your arms." she says from behind him, idly twirling her starknife.
Amira simply grins before running up the side of the building and vanishing over the edge, running along the opposite roof to Cassandra to keep the others in their sights.
Cass is recovering from kid borne illness, should be posting soon
"Until she remembers that they're already dead." Amira says with a sigh, her tone a mix of anger and sadness. "We should head toward the cook fire.Survivors might have a better idea of the state of things right now."
Amira lets out a soft sigh, anticipating the truth about the woman's children, given the state of things here.
"This place has been through hell."
