Angel's unconscious dream is turning a little bit; he's now training the puppies in Martial Arts.

Quote from Gimpster >>

Rip will stand up and fire bolt the gargoyle 21 for 16

"well that's the Gargoyles handled at least"

// Sorry everyone, phone issues and an all day conference with the boss. //

Ink nods to Quill, who takes up higher, continuing her search for anything, retracing steps from where the chest once was.... //  Perception 15  //

Ink sees the gargoyle explodes, yet hears a barking dog and turns to see Angel, somewhat moving.  Ink flies over to Rip taking one of the potions loosened out by Flint's rustling in Rip's pack and takes it over to Angel, pouring the fluid into his mouth.  ( Healing 6 )

"Stop playing with the dogs, Angel, it's time to get up."

Quote from Hardcopi >>

"I hate wizards." Marav moves to have as good a shot at the gargoyle as he can but wants to move away from the rest of the party. 

Marav looks at Ink and goes "What?"

He then turns to Rip and in the world's worst stage whisper, "What was that look for, it's not like he's a wizard or something."

"maybe he has a Wizard uncle?" Rip replies with a shrug

"That must be it."

“Huh-what. What’s happening did we beat him?”

Angel says as he rises to consciousness and begins to stretch a little bit wincing at the bruises he has received from today’s fights. 

"He ran away I think, might still be around here, he's afraid of us."

"Wore  'im  down a bit is all.  What say ye  lads, looks like the wizard is leavin' the field, we doin' the same?"

"Let Quill look around a bit first. He's pretty good at seeing what we don't." Marav suggests.

"well it was the gargoyles that were the main issue, lets call it a draw"

"For now, but the wizard STILL has to answer for the stable boy. Also, he knew about the giants. AND HE TRIED TO KILL US. We were just trying to bring him in. If he truly is gone though we can come back later. Maybe a quick 1/2 hour nap would do us wonders."

Angel looks at Marav. “We’re going to need more than a half hour nap. Most of our spellcaster, including yourself, are tapped out of spells. I was on the verge of death there for a while. And the rest of us aren’t looking too hot. I say we get a proper nights rest, you guys can tell the Lord Protector what happened here, and then we’ll go from there.”

"to be fair you did turn into a giant wolf and try to bite his face off first, so we'll let the trying to kill us slide. The blatant disregard for the lives and safety of the villagers however, is unforgivable. Also you can't live in a village and have no respect for the authority of its Protectorate, I mean seriously dude!"

"He has about half a minute left of invisibility, I'm sure that he's already been kind enough to let us live and return to his home. And I just realized how that bastard got in our ear - I can do the same thing - " // casting message //" - see, now I'm in your ear but thirty feet away," Ink finished in a whisper.

"What's this about the giants?  You said he knew the giants were coming? How'd you find that out?"

Ink helps Angel up.

"I'm spent...," and you notice that Ink doesn't have that same spring in his step. // Bladesong is officially over - maybe 1 or 2 rounds left, I'm not sure, but close enough. //

Ink looks up at Quill on the sly to see if she's spotted anything.

"A short rest would be nice, and it'd allow me to fight some more, but I won't be able to cast any spells."

"Fine... but his gargoyles attacked us first and I didn't try to bite his face off first, I was trying to pin him down so he couldn't call the wolves again. His pet gargoyles were also attacking the town." Marav notes.

"Marav - we were literally all walking away from each other peaceably until you tried pouncing his illusion."

"Now, I wouldn't necessarily mention that to the Lord Protector, maybe spin it as a misunderstanding during a prisoner exchange... but we most definitely started that fight. Although, I agree the gargoyles are a nuisance and it's only a matter of time before their fun and games actually causes harm."
