As Sacorin, Bel, and Darion step foot into the winding and twisting slums of the West. While they navigate the maze of the shacks and the twisting streets, very soon a loud noise echoes through the streets. "Y'all kids step yer boot in te wrong place. Boys! Teach dese bourgeois "master race" hoo's te boss round ere." You now find yourself trapped in a small alleyway with 5 ugly men and women staring upon you, poised for battle.
"Don't worry, my lady, I will make short work of these thugs!" Darion stepped forward, drawing both of his rapiers. He charged the first thug, slashing at him with his first blade. The sword pierced the thug's shoulder, spraying blood across the flagstones of the alleyway. As he went for a second attack, Darion found his second blade limited in movement due to the tight space he was fighting in. "Blast! Should've practiced in the halls more," Darion muttered to himself.
[OOC: 24 to hit with Rapier 1, 16 damage. 5 to hit with Rapier 2.]
Walking into the slums behind Bel, Socarin watched as the thugs step out and start talking. Socarin swings his light crossbow off his back and loads it ready for the fight he knows is going to happen. He aims at the first gangstar ready to fire when Darion sweeps in to dispatch the first one swiftly.
Seeing the fear on the face of the other thugs, Sacorin feels a wave of confidence. He knows that even though his group is out numbered the thugs are not as skilled as they first thought.
Whispering to Bel "If we can take a few of these guys out there maybe a possibility to get some answers out of any one we can keep alive."
Socarin aims his crossbow at the second gangster and let's the bolt fly.
The bolt impales itself into the second gangster's head, and with a yelp, he crumples into a heap.
Gangster 2 = dead
The remaining gangsters are now terrified. Gangster 3 suddenly turns tail and runs, while his allies are still there.
Gangster 4 then gives a half-hearted cry to arms and leaps towards Darion, intent on maiming him. As he draws closer, he suddenly strikes out at the rogue, but the attack misses, as he struck out to the air. The last gangster then broke into a sprint and jumped Socarin and pinned him flat.
Bel caught off guard steps back a bit, the others of her party taking the front line. She quickly stedies herself ready for anyone that might soon try to stab at her. She came to the same realization about their abilities as Socarin and was relieved.
In reply to Socarin, Bel wispers back, "I got this, just cover your ears a second."
She takes out her Lute and began to play and sing a beautiful and slightly haunting lullaby casting the spell Sleep. As she finishes the short soothing song both of the remaining of the goons fall to the ground in a heap, sound asleep.
While Bel, Darion, and Sacorin are off in the slums, Gary tries the city proper for clues as to what is going on, looking at billboards, posted paper, and overhearing conversations as he is walking around to see what might be going on. (Investigation 20 rolled in OOC discord)
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
After the gangster pinned Socarin to the ground, he heard Bel call out and then covered his ears. The thug's body went limp and trapped Socarin underneath.
Socarin wiggled his arms into position and pushed the body to the side hoping to get free.
Strength 15
After struggling for a while. Socarin lay flat and reluctantly called out. "Hey, anyone out there still that can get me out of here."
"Of course, my friend," Darion replied, stepping over to assist Socarin. With a bit of strain, Darion managed to lift the unconscious thug off Socarin. "There you are," Darion panted, helping Socarin up. Turning to Bel, the rogue straightened up and smiled at her, ever the picture of social charm. "Are you hurt, milady?"
As Socarin scours the area for anything that may be of value, an odd trinket catches his eye - a small, undersized dagger made of wood resting on a windowsill, with strange runes lining it.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Bel helps Socarin up along with Darion. "I'm fine, thanks. Luckily those thugs didn't get either of you as well. They weren't very bright it seems."
Bel seems a bit shaken up by all this. Her voice faulters a bit and her hands slightly shake as she put away her lute. She looks away from the scene and takes a deep breath, then turns back to help tie up the thugs with Socarin.
When socarin calls her over she examines the runes on the dagger. [Arcana 18]
Bel frowns in disappointment as she looks over the runed dagger. "Sorry, I've never seen these kinds of runes before."
Darion glanced casually at the dagger as Socarin put it away, not expecting to recognize anything. He blinked in surprise. "I know I've seen that somewhere. Do you mind if I have a look at it, Socarin?" Darion held out his hand, knowing for sure he had seen that somewhere before.
Darion stepped forward, addressing Bel. "Do you mind if I accompany you, my lady? The slums are a dangerous place. I can attend you, if need be."

The first gangster suddenly collapses, dead. With his death, a fleeting glance of fear streaks across the face of the other thugs. "How? Yer...."

"Thank you Darion. Glad to be able to fight by your side."
Socarin looked around at the alley and taking in the two dead bodies and the couple of sleeping thugs. He started to get his rope out of his pack.
"We should tie up the sleeping thugs. I think we have found some people that may be able to give some of the information we need."
While tying up the gangster that had pinned him to the ground, Socarin searched for anything of value.
Investigation 21

Socarin walks over to the windowsill and inspects the trinket.

"Nevermind Bel. I am sure we will find someone who can tell us what the runes means later."
Socarin puts the wooden dagger into his pack for examination at a later time.
