Serena (Fionula) Fionula extends both her arms as purplish/black lightning courses along them, and redirects the fiendish energy to the remaining elemental. Her hair blows back as if it were a windy day. The bolts explode rock and disintegrate stone in a spectacular display of destruction, and her raven caws in triumph, circling the head of the elemental. Drunk with power, she tilts her head back and laughs: "Hahahahahahaha!"
Klong Klong look in wonder at the witch's destructive power. "Glad she not mad at Klong," he thinks. Seeing this taunts had some effect, he resumes the insults on the remaining elemental. Noting that the creatures are still dangerous, even weakened, he warns the group in a rhyme to the beat his drums: "Don't get cocky, it's gonna get rocky, we gonna move down to the next ya jockey now!"
With a nod and then a frown, the glamorous woman requires her raven attack again, and with a shrug he complies. The black wisps coruscate around her hands, and she sends three crackling bolts of force at the elemental, chipping rock and rocking its bulk. The raven flaps desultorily back to a high perch, cawing something that sounds a lot like "Witch!" but with a harder starting sound.
Blast 1 (with Advantage): 28 to hit for 12 force damage Blast 2: 20 to hit for 7 force damage Blast 3: 26 to hit for 6 force damage
The woman does a little twirl that seems out of character with her refined appearance, and when she's finished, a different person stands there. She's the same size, and a stunning woman, but thinner, and younger, wearing a mish-mash of black clothes and a slung satchel. "Rock that, you pile of... rocks!" and she laughs at herself.
Moving in to surround the last elemental, emboldened by the sudden turn of the tides, the guards hack away, and despite the ineffectiveness of their weapons, manage to land enough solid blows that the Elemental succumbs to sheer number of wounds and bursts into a large pile of rubble. The guards erupt in triumph, celebrating with high fives and turn to thank their unexpected help.
"Amazing! I thought we were done for for sure. Where did the other 2 go off to?"
She makes a rude gesture at her raven up on top of one of the buildings. Then she finishes concentrating on her spell. Then she approaches Klong and slaps him on the butt, "Way to go, big man! Banishing with the best!"
To the guards, "This guy! I saw him, he sent 'em off!"
In her real (?) form, she looks like she's probably in her early twenties, pretty but down to earthy, not glamorous like her last semblance.
After waiting a minute to make sure the other elementals are truly gone, Klong floats down from the roof. He shakes the hands of the guards, and fist bumps them. "You guys strong! Haha, we get dwarf ale now and celebrate! We make other rocks go away, but you do real combat!" Klong's easy going demeanor and generous praise makes the guards feel like they had the situation in hand thanks to their skill, valor, and training.
Klong winks at Fionula, and lowers his voice, speaking to her directly. "Oh, Klong know that not true. You modest. You real hero here. Now we go back and drink, Klong want to hear your story."
Glim slings his shield over his back and grabs a second half-empty mug of ale in his off hand and wanders over to the corner to down them, hoping to avoid the guards.
The Dwarf who previously crashed open the door and got everyone's attention is clapping and grinning ear to ear. "That was worthy of mighty Moradin himself! Please come sit down with me when you have a minute. I have a business proposition for you. I've been waiting for some semblance of a group of adventurers to assist me in an endeavour."
He turns back inside the ruined door, and goes to sit down at a table with plenty of room.
Seeing the dwarf, Glim grumbles and wanders off to find a wash room so he doesn't have to engage in conversation. Meanwhile, a tiny spider crawls out from under the bar and scurries up a wooden post, positioning itself on the ceiling just above the table where the dwarf is sitting.
Klong, happy to hear about any business proposition or interesting stories, sits down with Fionula and another dwarven ale. "Klong listen, what your story?"he asks the dwarf. Klong also motions Fil and Kelvin to the table, having noticed the the gnome has made himself scarce.
"Welcome, friends, Me name be Gargosh Blusterhelm" the Dwarf says in an uncharacteristically jolly voice, especially for someone who is clearly a Shield Dwarf. You notice he is, also uncharacteristically, *not* inclined for battle, wearing the clothes of an academic instead of an adornment of armaments.
"I am an historian. Before I tell you my tale, I need to know: Are any of you....Harpers?" He says in a almost whisper, oblivious to the fact that if you were you surely wouldn't tell him.
"Aye, ye didn't seem like the type. I am looking for a great weapon, a legendary axe wielded by me ancestors, and I'd like ye to help me find it. I would try and find it myself, as is proper to bring honor to me family and clan, but I simply cannot hope to succeed alone. The risks are more than I could overcome with me wits and talents. "
Gargosh blushes and frowns.
"There, I said it. I’m just not good enough to try it by myself. I'm just a simple man who has long studied the storied history of the Dwarves. Everyone else thinks this is a fool’s errand,” he continues. “The king’s tomb, where the axe lies, was hidden even from his own people, but I believe we can find it together!", a resound thump of his fist hitting the table as he realizes his voice is now raised. Quieting back down: "Me da hated me for not becoming a warrior. We came from Mithril Hall itself! The shame nearly killed him it did. This may help bring some sense of honour back to the Blusterhelm clan. You see, the weapon belonged to Torhild Flametongue HIMSELF", and Gargosh waits for you to recognize and appreciate this, a sparkle of excitement in his eyes.
Fil saunters over and turns back to his human form as he takes a seat and listens to the dwarf. "I am no Harper though my parents did business with them. Still your proposition sounds interesting. I have never heard of this Torhild Flametongue before. I am curious to know why his tomb was hidden from his own people."

"Klong can play harp, but better at lute. Of course, favorite is drums," responds Klong, between sips of ale. "But Klong not part of secret society no. Does Klong look like Klong can blend in secret? Hahahaha."
"Story of axe is legendary. This right up Klong alley. Make new interesting story and can sing it!"
OOC: Yeah.

She stares at him and blinks. Twice. Then she leans down and sips her drink without taking her eyes off of him.
