Ebele feels some dusty powder between her toes as she'd shadow Hawke. She was now much too distracted by how ridiculously silent she was to have any idea what was going on. The monk found herself prowling circles around Hawke and Kerric, literally crouching and tucking herself right under their noses when she'd finally stop. "Psst what's going on?"
Kerric
"But Baby, Benny borks badly buzzed." He hiccups trying to slip away from the woman, but he'd stumble, barely able to hold himself up.
The woman would swoop her arm around him to catch him again, "Darling, shhh. I don't need you awake." Her voice was soft and sultry. She'd tilt his chin so he'd look at her flawless visage. She'd begin to sing a dark lullaby. It wasn't in a language you understood.
Benny's eyes would dilate, then go blank. "My mistress..." He appeared more compliant.
"Now where were we." Grinning, she'd bare her pearly white teeth before leaning in to him.
Whispering to the others, Kerric says, "Benny is being enchanted by a dark mistress. We must save him now." He prepares to leap into action, hand on the pommel of his Elven Curved Blade.

"See. I knew something was up." Ebele would snap her fingers to herself. She'd draw her staff when she'd hear the familiar sound of Kerric drawing his blade in preparation for an attack. The monk would sweep in low following the warriors swing, aiming to jab the woman in the belly with her staff before sweeping a kick at her legs.

Kerric's feint attack was so effective, Ebele was misdirected to the bush to his right. The flat end of his blade smacked hard on the woman's haunch, slicing her gown and netted stockings. The force was so strong, it was already beginning to leave a welt.
"Ouu!" The beauty would gasp in complete surprise, yet a hint of excitement. Her eyes would widen before focusing only on the elven warrior. The blonde monk garnered a giggle from the woman, and she'd sidestep the spiders attack. Attention dead set on Kerric, she'd drop Benny, kicking him to the side to pay attention to her new toy.

What about the cart?”

Kerric:
Shifting to the side to give the others a better shot at the "Mistress", Kerric swings again, feinting briefly towards the thigh on the same side of her body, then reversing and swinging the flat of his blade on the opposite side of her head. Whirling around quickly, he makes an extra attack at her torso on the original side, hoping to take down this dangerous charmer before she can subvert his will. He calls out to Benny hopefully, "Crushing charmer cancels curse?"
Round 1 Initiative Order:K| E | X(2) | M(L) | H Others?
For non lethal attacks, Kerric was swift and relentless, striking with the flat side of his blade. He successfully dupes the woman, proceeding to accurately smack her around hard and fast. Although she's clearly taken quite the beating, it wasn't as effective as you expected. The mistress still stood. Lifting her head, eyes still on the elven warrior, she'd dab blood from the corner of her lips. Her grin never faded.
Kerric's alliterations would find their way to Benny's ears. He'd rouse the man, getting his attention. Though, he was in fact, still under the influence of his mistress, and he seemed flustered that Kerric had all her attention.

Grunting and rustling could be heard from the bush behind Kerric. Eventually, Ebele would stumble her way out. She'd shake some leaves out of her hair, but some twigs remained. Extending a hand out, she'd give a thumbs up in the direction she thought Hawke was in before nodding. Not wanting to waste any more time, the monk would try again. She'd jab low with her staff before dropping a sweeping kick.
This time Ebele finds her target. She'd jab the woman in her tenderized haunch before following up with a swift kick to her shin.

The mistress spits some blood towards Ebele before turning her attention back to Kerric and licking her teeth. "Feisty." She'd stare him down. "I'd like to play with you some more." Then she'd begin to sing the same haunting lullaby, this time, just for him.

Reghys drops their books into the waggon, making sure they're stowed properly, and giddily humming a song to themselves. It's only when they look up and see Xalkas look at them about as confused as they themselves are.

The tiefling looks up from his glowering to see Xalkas running away from him. He looks around rather surprised, at the lack of his allies, trying to figure out if he can see anything that would make them run off. “What the...? They left me with the wagon?! Thanks guys!” He looks at the horse. "Look, i don't really learn horse names, so, i don't remember what they call you, but...looks like it's just me and you...horse... " He’s been watching Hawke for a while....he's sure he can drive this thing. He pIckes up the reins and begins driving the cart in the direction he saw Xalkas running. He’s not in a particular hurry, if they want to go running off to the next store and not tell him that’s their problem. In a rather lackadaisical manner he begins moving the wagon. It’s a few seconds later when he hears the distinct ring of metal on metal and the shouts of combat. He sits, confused for a moment, Out loud, and likely talking to the horse he says, “Well...now...how did they get in another fight?!?? We just left that darned store. If I get there and there’s any alliteration going on, I’m leaving. I’m not even going to help. Swear to the demons in the hells.” He hops off the wagon seat and begin jogging in the direction of the battle. (Feel free to add me to whatever round of combat you wish! :). )
