Misha quickly heard the spell message in her mind. It was simply a reminder of her duties and responsibilities, nothing more. She nodded and smiled, mentally replying back.

Once the evening wears on, she takes a moment to go to the counter and rents a room for the ladies, the biggest room they have. (Or seperate rooms, if they prefer). She will even pay for them, pulling out enough money, if applicable. Depending on how drunk Jill gets, she might have to carry her to the room, but eventually Misha offers to go up to the (or her) room to have a little innocent quiet time with Jill and Tasha and relax before bed, where they can wash up, and Misha can work on cleaning and polishing her hammer and armor and maybe exchange more stories. Depending on what happened, she played it by ear.

But Jill was too tired, so she said goodnight and went to her room.

The innkeeper adamantly refuses all offers of money. "It would be an honor if you would care to stay the night!" He squeaks. Your accommodations are comfortable and homely, and the beds are replete with thick blankets and soft pillows. 

Before you can settle in, a sharp scream shatters the peaceful night. The acrid smell of smoke drifts through your windows. Oni is the first to see it. A terrifying, apish creature lopes through the city streets, silhouetted in the wild fire it has created. Mothers scream, children cry, and desperate fathers try to shepherd their families to safety as their village burns around them. 

OOC: What time is it?

(Drawing on to midnight.)

Something wasent right. 

Misha heard the screams. Bolting upright, she grabbed her warhammer and shield. No time to put on armor, there was trouble. “Tash, Jill, come! Let’s get other comrades! Trouble outside!”

She sprinted downstairs, calling the others, and she looked around outside.

Oni rushes outside from the tavern bar to see what is going on. His longsword is drawn, and to his dismay, the longsword is back to its original design and his crystal detached from the pommel. He feels a sense of pride realizing he had a vision of the powers to come, and had faith in the greater power guiding him. If he sees the creature he will try and close a distance of 60 feet to see what it is and if it's hostile, attack it. If the creature isn't visible, he will rush towards the screams.

 Grum has spent the everything watching folk in  the tavern, admiring how easily they all seem to find social interactions, and trying to listen in to conversations, to pick up the type of thing that seems to be normal for strangers to chat about with each other. 

As the tavern clears for the night Grum heads to his room, and just before he actually goes to bed he hears the commotion outside. He runs downstairs, bow in hand, and puts his head out of the tavern door, glancing around to see if the innkeeper is still about. 

Natasha was quick to rise from her attempted slumber, hearing the screaming from outside and the call to arms from Misha. Seeing the paladin rush forth with nothing but her hammer and shield, Natasha had followed quickly behind her but making sure to grab her longbow and quiver, her leathers left behind leaving her in her night wear; a simple shirt and shorts. As they ran outside, she was relieved to see some of the others there and battle ready. Wherever Oni runs to, she hastily follows behind.

(Might as well all roll Initiative!)

Jill falls out of her bed, swearing profusely in multiple languages and promising to bring death to whatever caused this disturbance. She grabs her sword and shield, tosses her hooded jacket over her night wear, puts on her boots, and rushes outside.

OOC: is it just me that's not working for, or should I try rolling again?

(You can go ahead and roll that again.)

Ach..

 Initiative again:8

“Such beautiful fire, love the color!” Misha‘s low initiative roll was caused by her love of fire, which was plentiful back home, and the sight of the town burning. “But not combine with poor town with no mill of cheese!!” 

She grouped with with everyone and kept a lookout for whatever Oni had spotted. There was chaos everywhere.

"Merde! What ever monstrosity is responsible for this will be purged from the earth." Jill is going to get ready for the battle by running her sword over her left forearm and allowing the blood to get on her blade, once again covering it with white ice that froze the air.

OOC: Does Jill see the creature? And if she does, is it a fey, fiend, or undead?
