Surprised by Eve's sudden alarm Senna looks to see if there are others alarmed, for signs of an attack. As there do not seem to be she narrows her eyes and gazes at Eve trying to determine if shes drunk.
Omens.. she mumbles to herself Theres no such thing.. she must be drunk.
Senna gets up from her seat and moves towards Eve. How do you know? Did someone warn you?
She pauses a moment. Or do you know more then us about these attacks?
"Thank you" Eve says to Kalithar as he helps her to a seat. Then she almost resists, "wait, no, we have to 'be on our guard', it's not about me!!". This started so well but was going south like so many times before...
Then Senna approaches. But before she gets too close Eve stands and backs away a little... "Planetouched!...." she says to Senna.... "...you have to believe me!... We're sisters you and I... ...?". She stands before Senna like a mirror image: planetouched, twin daggers... and just then a crystal on a leather string falls loose around Eve's neck, just like Senna's, but twisted colours of green and black...
"We're all here to help the town. STAY ALERT!... there, I've warned you!... do with that as you will!". She continues to back away as Senna approaches...
Eve softens a little at ‘friend’, and at ‘Eve’, but bristles a little at ‘kitten’... but she quickly puts it down to culture...
Never-the-less she narrows her eyes a little at Edge, a little unsure...
She holds her hands out defensively at the small cluster of bodies around her, ‘On your guard?... this very night?....’ she repeats, almost pleading. Red hands stretched in front of her, black talons on each finger...
“listen you don’t have to believe me... call it a hunch... we’re all warriors, no?! We just need to keep our wits about us!”.
Edge watches Eve a little longer. He's far more interested in why she thinks what she does than any actual threat. If there's a threat it will come. If there isn't it will not. But, whether real or imagined, Eve's warnings are very entertaining.
Seeing her agitation though, Edge turns and moves away and heads to the main doors of the tavern.
"Dark and rain. Many shadow. Edge go out and look," he says as he makes his way to the doors, and then calls back to Eve. "Will look for friend Eve."
He opens the doors and looks up at the wet sky, a snarl curling his lips. Then he slips out into the evening, staying to the shadows and does a circuit of the tavern seeing if anyone is about before returning to the main doors.
Senna stops as Eve calls her 'planetouched'. She closes her eyes as she clenches a fist a moment, her crystal glows a faint red briefly. Then Senna opens her eyes again. Just because i look different does not mean we are alike or that gods speak to me.
She shakes her head.
Omens.. pff. Ive been hearing that about my birth all my life. Whatever gods might of been involved have forsaken me since.
She eyes Eve's crystal a moment reminder herself of her own and how she got it.
No.. The Order has taught me to rely on myself and my allies, not some god.
A bit agitated she returns to her seat keeping watch of the people in the room. As Edge runs out and the others follow she sighs and moves towards the door. She waits in the doorway a moment, letting her eyes adjust to the dark. Trying to see where they went.
Back while she was in the bar, Eve would have winced and cursed herself seeing Senna’s reaction to ‘planetouched’.
Still backing away she would have said “That’s not what I meant... I was just...“.
But then as it carried on she might have continued “Now wait just a minute,... just because your gods have forsaken you, it doesn’t mean mine have foresakem me!” .
And luckily(?) maybe(?) Edge’s comments may have cut in at that point?!
((OOC: I want everyone to have fun. Please don’t take any of Eve’s rants too seriously. If I go to far just say so in OOC! Eve is nice when you get to know her!))
Kanithar/Edge: After Edge makes it all the way around the building, finding nothing he can perceive in the obscuring rain, Kanithar is standing out front and both notice a flicker of movement and dual pinpricks of red flash to the north past the inn. A moment's hesitation and they are gone, quickly moving around the back of the building.
All: Through the pouring rain, you can barely hear the distant sounds of a woman's screams to the south east, followed by a crazed bellowing squeal of what you know must be some sort of large pig or boar and finally a man yelling for the guards.
After Eve's reaction Senna grits her teeth as she goes back to her seating The nerve..
Standing near the doorway watching outside Senna will hear the sounds of the pig/boar not really able to place it but as the man yells for guards she reacts. Do you hear that?Someone calling for guards.
She looks back into the room. Stay here, you will be safe together. We will go look.Senna will see this as the most methodical way of handling the situation. As half the new arrivals are outside already anyway.
Once said she will move out into the rain to see if anyone has heard or seen what direction the cries are coming from.
Garcis hears the screams, grabbing his crossbow off of his bow. As he rushes out the door he slams a bolt into place, pulling it back until a click lets him know that it is loaded and ready to fire. As he runs he does his best to listen for where the screams are coming from.
Kaseon tries to keep the townsfolk's attention on his stories during Eve's little episode to help keep the calm, and when the others start moving out the door he hesitates for a long moment, not wanting to leave the warm tavern, and with a little luck an even warmer embrace later that night, but after hearing the scream he sighs, "Ladies and gentlemen, please defend this place while we investigate this incident. We will return when we have news." And he moves quickly to join the others, moving up to Senna, "What was that all about?"
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Charging through the rain and the dark, Edge and Kanithar arrive first at a grizzly scene. Rampaging around a small square set at a crossroads of sorts are two boars, their tusks still stained red even in the pouring rain. On the ground is a woman that you think you saw earlier at the bar, lying still while her stomach has been ripped open, she still lives, but her breaths come in painful ragged gasps as her eyes stare up at the night sky unleashing it's fury upon them. On his knees beside her is Mayor Hulmar, grappling with the boar haphazardly by hanging on to one of it's tusks with his solitary arm, he is visibly tiring and is beginning to get shaken around by the large animal.
Nearby, two men run up carrying pitchforks to try and help the Mayor and off in the distance down the street, you can barely make out the blurry shape of what looks like one of the guards running towards this grisly scene.

This is fantastic, Edge thinks to himself, not having a clue what is going on but happy to be focused on something other than the rain.
"Friend, Eve, kotyonok," Edge begins. "Is vision, no? Voices, maybe? Come often?"
He moves closer to the table, but not close enough to touch or be touched. He looks very carefully at Eve.
"Tell friend Edge about what kotyonok see. Tell everything."
Eve softens a little at ‘friend’, and at ‘Eve’, but bristles a little at ‘kitten’... but she quickly puts it down to culture...

“Stay together!”, Eve calls to Edge, and rushes out into the rain after him...

Eve is soaked already by the time Kanithar joins her on the dark street.
”Kanithar!... I don’t see him!”, she says turning this way and that...

Edge looks once at Kanithar.
"Edge think scream more urgent than lights" Edge says.
Without waiting, Edge takes off in the direction of the screams and the calls for help.
As Edge and Kalithar head off, Eve follows.
Looking back she sees Senna emerge from the tavern “Come on!...”, she calls back, all else forgotten.
“Get the others!!”, she adds, then returns to chasing the two guys, drawing a dagger as she goes...
