Eberron - First Inn, First Out

[Theli]

It is the 25th of Zarantyr.

In a relatively quiet community of about 300 strong, there is an Inn. Well, there are many Inns, but this one is special. It is the first Inn, at least as far as Ghallanda is concerned. Going back as far as the halflings have bothered to keep track.

Within, there lies a boisterous group of travelers, relaxing after a long, bitter cold, road. All told, there are maybe 50 or 60. And the wine and ale is flowing freely. Most of the tables are constantly full, forcing people to mingle. Food is eternally pouring in from the kitchen in the back, expert waiters somehow managing to avoid any spills.

It is a diverse group of many races and many creeds. The symbol of the Silver Flame can be spotted here or there. As well as the clergy of a few of the Sovereign Host. At a corner table, an exhausted human priestess of the Fury sits eating almost alone. Giving knowing glances to some of the patrons as often as others thrust wary glances onto her. Elsewhere, one of the three warforged present is acting remarkably sociable as he attempts to strike up a conversation. At the same time, a dwarf can just barely be overheard critiquing the Inn's layout, suggesting that they wall up one of the side exits in order to beef up security.

Suddenly, a haggard-looking elf stumbles roughly through the front doors, causing an incredibly brief hush to fall. Without pausing to address the onlookers, he rushes to the bar, reserves one of the few rooms remaining, and proceeds to order one wine bottle after another. After an hour or two he collapses, plainly unconscious. One of the barkeepers then asks some of the patrons to haul him up to the second floor.

As the night wears on, the many patrons leave for their rooms, either in this Inn or elsewhere in town. One of the proprietors remains to keep watch over the nearly empty floor.

"Be you good or evil?" He asks the sets of eyes.

Regardless of the response, he pulls up the wooden-painted-silver holy symbol around his neck. He inches towards his gear gets up out of bed, intending on picking up his shield where it lies with his equipment on the chair next to his bed first, then his morningstar if it is close enough and he has enough actions, and readies himself for an attack.


What kind of devilry is this...

...What the duece...? I didn't order room service
Aelodin gets up slowly, still not positive this isn't a dream. Walks over to the table with his weapons, his eyes constantly watching the eyes, grabs his pick and prepares.
Well...I can say with somewhat certainty that this isn't a dream. Oh, well, I need some anger management anyways!
And with that, he grips the pick and prepares himself.

Turning towards the three sets of eyes, he looks at them.

Three of them, low to the ground. These are either halflings, gnomes, or goblins.

"Who are you, friend or foe?" He says in common, but then says in goblin, "What do you want?"

He pulls out his dagger and casts light on it.

He groggidly awoke, still somewhat tired from his trip, and saw three sets of eyes in the shadows. He chasticed himself for not sleeping his armor, for in all reality, he could have done so. His armor with the rest of his gear was against the wall, but his sword was on his bedside stand. He grabbed it imedietly and stared down the three beings that stared at him from the darkness, trying to pry into their very soul.

(({ooc: If they are evil.} He abstained from trying to cut them down immedietly with his sword. Outnumbered or not, he had no tolerance on those who preyed on the sleepers of the inn. He could only assume that he awoke because he some how sensed them in the dark. He got out of bed sword in hand and readying for a fight.

"Show yourself. I will not tolerate you bothering the people of the inn."))

(({ooc: if good/Neutral} "What is it?" His sword still in hand, readying to strike from his bed.))

Immediately after jumping out of bed and grabbing your pick, the things the eyes belong to start moving. They split up, one coming straight toward you, one to the left, and one to the right. Soon they, what can only be described as shadowy weasels, are upon you and you have a choice of which to attack.


OOC: Attack of Opportunity on whichever target you wish. Also, this is one of those rare times where you can make a Listen check.

"Be you good or evil?"

You get out of bed clutching your holy symbol and manage to grab and don your shield before they, what can only be described as shadowy weasels, spring into action. They split up, left and right, rushing toward you.


OOC: You can make an attack of opportunity by bashing with your shield, suffering a -4 non-proficiency penalty and doing 1d4 + half your STR mod in damage, but then you will be without its AC until your next turn. If you do this, choose a target, left or right. Let me know if you decide to not take the AOO.

"Who are..."

Before you were able to spit out another word, the things the eyes belong to start moving. Closing distance quickly and climbing up your legs they, what can only be described as shadowy weasels, seem to almost be playing with you as they run rampant around your wood and metal frame. That is before one of them opens its mouth wide, snarls, and bites your neck hard. A gleam of light escapes from the area where the creature bit. The creature stays attached there, refusing to let go.

OOC: You take one point of HP damage and one point of Con damage. (Lowering your HP to 4 total.) You can now take whatever actions you were planning to. Although you have a natural weapon in the form of a slam attack which you can use to strike the attached creature, which is now denied its Dex to AC. Also, if you move it's likely the other creatures will fall off.

Also, this is one of those rare times where you can make a Listen check.

Too groggy to react in time, the things the eyes belong to start moving. Climbing up on the bed they, what can only be described as shadowy weasels, seem to almost be playing with you as they run rampant. That is before one of them opens its mouth wide, snarls, and lunges for your neck. But, through sheer *DUMB LUCK*, reflexive action saves your jugular and you hear a soft thud behind you as the creature goes flying past.

OOC: Now you can take whatever actions you wish. Note that Detect Evil is a standard action. You can attempt to strike these things unarmed, if you wanted to, but it would provoke a counter-attack from the creature you strike at. Getting out of bed may force these things off you.

"I am under attack!" Carmot shouts as he bashes at one of the weasel things. He moves towards the door, trying to shake off the creatures as he does so. He listens for whatever there is to listen to.

It was all like a dream really. Weird ferrity things running up and down his bedpost and circling around his legs. Groggidly he blinked and then dodged barely as the thing tried to eat his

What the heck? What were these things? They certainly weren't anything he had seen before and he had been in the wilderness for all of his young life. It wasn't anything he had heard about either, but then again he never really did understand when things were happening.

But he realized now that he was under attack, and that his armor was tucked away with the rest of his gear. The only thing that he had within reach was his weapon. The only thing that he really cared about was trying to figure out what the heck was happening.

He got out of bed, snarling at the creatures, and before he knew it shifted in reflex as the monsters clambered for him. He readied his weapon for attack, holding it in both hands, without a shield, he'd need all the strength behind the attacks that he could get.

"Hold strong! I'll come soon." He yelled at the speaker. But he couldn't have these things tailing him from behind either. He needed to get rid of these three little pesky rodents first, or else they might surround the lot of them, or worse yet, attack someone else.

He attacked again. "Leave!"

(ooc: If he did not down the previous target, than he'll attack that one again. If he felled it than assume he went for the next closest demonic ferret. If he has to move he'll do it. He'll also take the attack of opportunity if it occurs. If he doesn't need to move to get to his next target, he takes a five-foot-step towards the door.)

You hear loudly and clearly a tinny voice shouting "I am under attack!" coming from a room to your far left, facing the door.

The other two have no trouble reaching you. One runs around your feet, an obvious distraction, as the other lunges, jaw wide open snarling, and finds a tender place to bite, YOUR EYE. Even through the sheer PAIN of wound, you can make out a gleam of light escaping for your eye socket. Somehow, you can still see, though the inside of the beast looks no better than the outside. The creature stays there attached, refusing to let go.

You take 1 point of damage, but no more con damage, from the already attached weasel, as it needs no attack roll to harm you. The other weasel inflicts 2 more HP and 2 more CON damage.

One eventually does, opening its jaw wide, snarling, and it takes a bite out of your left shoulder. A gleam of light emerges from the wound. And the creature remains attached there, refusing to let go.

Attempts to dislodge it prove to be difficult, and you miss all your attacks wildly.
