(this has to end one way or another in the next few hours.. I'm prepared to have Veryes, Gatt, Shadrach, Muad, Frank the Crow, Mother, Father, all mob in here like Endgame if need be)
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Aria watches as Regrim just tries to run... watching crossbow bolts, arrows, daggers, rays of frost fly by him... he's distracted..he's got his back turned to her.. she lifts BULLSEYE up, she breathes in slowly, pulls back and releases a tight shot...
Attack: 26 Damage: 11

Good things come to those who wait, the fates or the gods might say in this moment. Bullseye is true. Aria threads the needle through all the chaos perfectly. It passes through Regrim's throat with minimal resistance. His death is a slow asphyxiation on his own blood.
The crowd roars in approval. Anna tries to get off another shot on Graywolf, but with his muscle dishonored and killed in such a humiliating fashion, and two of his guards down, he's retreating. The remaining guards start bellowing that the club is closing early tonight, would everyone immediately make their way to the exits. Whatever magic has brought The Tooth here is clearly being invoked to hasten its retreat.
None of you have to be told to exit, though. Anna Kelver, the perfectly ordinary girl turned would-be assassin, is leading the charge to the exits. The rest of the party isn't far behind. Aria and Crush exit the pit in victory, and some of the crowd are sticking around to congratulate them -- Crush on his ferociousness, Aria on that unbelievable killshot. But the show's over, and it's time to go.
Is that.. is that Gatt, somewhere in the crush of people?
Nah, couldn't be.
Sen and Usul get swept up in the wave of people leaving. Usul is able to navigate this pretty well, while Sen... Maybe not so much. We should note here that Sen, too, has a few well-wishers of his own, people who saw the magic of his circlet and are very impressed by his taking the initiative and standing up against the unfair challenge Graywolf created. We know that isn't entirely what happened, but before Sen can correct them, the crowd has shifted and rearranged itself. Buddy and Gracious are nowhere to be found in any of this.
Oh, well.
The party exits the club, keeping an eye on Anna as you make your way through the tunnels and head back towards The Yawning Portal. After about 10 minutes of running, you run into a wall. A human wall.
Shadrach.
Anna hits the brakes immediately. "SHADRACH?!" she cries out, shocked--shocked in that teenage girl, oh-my-god-I'm-busted kind of way. He doesn't even let her catch her breath, before launching into it. "Your Father was SO WORRIED ABOUT YOU," his voice echos so loudly it's a wonder the entire mountain doesn't collapse. "Any more and he would have hired the ENTIRE CITY to come lookin--" he stops when he sees the party approaching from behind Anna. She whirls around to face you.
"But luckily," Shadrach shifts his focus to the party, "all he needed was them." She looks over her shoulder at Shadrach, then to all of you, "He hired you?" she asks. "That was amazing what you did back there," she says. "Thank you." to Sen, she says "Cool gem. What is it?" Shadrach says to her, "No time. We have to get you home.", he puts a hand on her shoulder and points her back down the tunnel towards the portal. Approaching the party, he produces 4 pouches of 650 gold each and gives one to each of you. "Payment for your services. I hope it is sufficient. Should any of you ever want more work in this town, please, contact my employer." He gives you each a business card for Acquisitions Incorporated.
The dagger flies out of Aria's hand, but it goes wide. There is a blink of light, and the dagger returns to her hand.
Usul is up, then Aria again.
