Bastiaan nods to Brevis. "Nothing serious. A fire elemental of some sort escaped from a baker's oven. Rhabin turned it back before it could take more than a couple of steps," he smiles broadly with a nod to the priest. "Our second encounter was with an ash rat. We made short work of it."

After a quick look at his companions, Bastiaan continues. "I think it might be wise if we were to give the guards inside whistles in order to draw quick responses without having to leave their posts."

merash

Well whistles could be useful, but for now I need a drink or two...

[Miraqariftsky]

"Damn straight them whistles'd be good! Yep, an' don't forget them buckets o' water, chief" Khurr interjects.

Suddenly, she wraps her right arm around Merash's shoulders and pulls him in tightly, shaking the poor man a bit. "Yeah, he's right, fellas! Who's up fer some lunch'n drinks, eh? The milk's on me!"

[MorkaisChosen]

"I hope that was a metaphor, Khurr," Hammer adds.

Joking? Perhaps. It's hard to tell...

[Miraqariftsky]

Grinning impishly, and rolling her eyes, she retorts, "Of course! What I meant was, I'll bring the pitcher of goat's milk... that is, if ye boys want it..."

[KIDS]

"Oh of course. A pitcher would be great," Chiron agrees heartily, hiding a cackle on his face. It was not the sun and heat that were draining him, but rather the weight of arms and armor; the changeling was born frail and while through training he had overcome his weaknesses, it was still prudent to rest when possible. "Are we we dismissed for now or there is something else we should do, Captain?" he asks Brevis anxiously.

[Breten]

Rhabin looks up at the sun. It is nearing noon. He decides it is time and he can finally call upon his Lady to help him bear the worst of the sun's heat.

[COLOR="Blue"Lady of Ice and Cold. Bring your cooling touch to relieve the heat of Lharvion. [/COLOR] He whispers, holding his holy symbol.

((Casting Endure Elements))

As the prayer ends he feels the burden of heat slip away, and he sighs contentedly. He only wished the spell would last longer, but knows that with time and faith his power will grow.

Turning back to the group he rolls his eyes at the double entendres and shakes his head.
I think I would be just fine with simple water. And some food would be good to I think.

[MorkaisChosen]

Hammer offers, "If you are weary I can fetch something for you- we do not feel the heat as much as you."

[Hyozo]

Brevis nods at Bastiaan's suggestion. "That could help. I'll see if we have any whistles. The six of you are dismissed. Meet me at militia headquarters the same time tommorrow."

As you walk into town, you notice a man standing outside a small artifice workshop, arguing with its owner about an eternal wand which appears to have a damaged crystal. Two more men sit nearby, speaking with a shifter while eating lunch. Suddenly you hear a shout from a short distance away and smoke soon begins to rise from the same general direction.

"By Khyber!" Bastiaan mutters as he hears, then sees the situation arise. "It seems our duties are not quite finished! Shall we?" He asks with a thin smile before sprinting for the smoke and nocking an arrow to his bow.

[MorkaisChosen]

Hammer pounds along, his heavy form treading hard on the ground. "Lharvion does such things to the Militia..."

His face as impassive as always, he concentrates on the rhythm of his feet against the ground, racing towards the smoke.

It never ends...

[KIDS]

Chiron

"I would ask what in the blazes were going on there, had it not been such a real smoke," Chiron quips as he leaps to his feet, abandoning his eavesdropping on the conversation between the artificer and his customer. Stretching his legs to get ready for the frantic movement that will no doubt ensue, he hurries after the group and towards the smoke.

[Miraqariftsky]

((Yey! It's still alive!))

Khurr lopes alongside the others, readily keeping pace. She lengthens her stride, her hardened feet leaving dusty furrows in the heat-broken soil. The sound of the swishing of her skirt mingles with the tinkle of her spear as it trails in her wake, battered by bits of gravel that fly up as she passes...

((I'm going to assume Rhabin comes along with the rest of you))

The shout was from farther away than it seemed, and the source of the smoke seens to be mobil. Reaching the point where it apparently appeared, you can see a trail of steaming objects which had likely been ignited and doused. You come across small groups of people caring for those who appear to have been recently burnt. Eventually you catch up to the source of the flames.

It looks similar to the creature which escaped from the baker's oven, but instead of a shapeless flame, it takes a nearly humanoid form. The heat from its body blurs the air around it. As you approach it, it takes note of your presence and moves slightly closer.

Bastiaan holds up about thirty feet from the humanoid flame. "Whoah! You're a hot one, hm?" he says as he keeps his bow readied.

[Miraqariftsky]

Khurr skids to a halt before the beast and recoils in horror at the waves of heat radiating from its strange form. Goldfang growls and barks with hackles raised but is forced backward by the unrelenting fires.

"Blighter!" Khurr curses then spits out words of magic that she herself little understands.

Hammer halts and glances round his allies to see what they are doing about it.

[KIDS]

Chiron pauses in front of the creature, surveying it with a passive expression. At last, raising his scimitar and mace, he points at the burning thing and speaks a few words in Ignan: "Revered one, I respect the fire that consumes and gives way to rebirth. But I cannot let you endanger my home," he says determinedly.
When he looks back to the burned victims and property and sees the creature approach, the Changeling grits his teeth and goes out to meet it. Once again, his slash passes in a practiced arc through his own shadow and collects its dark essence to strike at the fiery thing.

The strike proves to be as much of an art as the form of war; as Chiron lunges to meet the creature, his blade seems to flow with uneering accuracy, as he perhaps draw strength from fighting on his home ground and for the land he walks every day.

Chiron's strike seems to heavily injure the walking flame while the sudden fall of water seems to barely annoy it, mostly evaporating before it hit. The creature extends it's arm of fire toward the group and a cone of flame extends from it, reaching the entire group. the only person still nearby screams and runs away from the flaming figure.

Bastiaan has no clue what it is he's looking at.

I made the rolls in a sepparate topic so I wouldn'y have to edit anything in.Take 7 damage from the fire spray, reflex save DC 11 for half.

Hanging back Rhabin observes the flaming creature. He thinks about calling on his lady to turn the creature, but the hesitates, fearing to do so would send it fleeing through town where it would do more harm.

He attempts to identify the creature

Then he notchs an arrow to his bow and taking careful aim he shoots at the creature.

Hammer is too slow to dodge out of the way of the creature's flaming breath, but makes no sound- instead charging otwards it and laying a heavy blow from his metallic arm, trying to smash into it with all the force he can muster.

Bastiaan tries to duck away from the burst of flame, then rights himself and fires an arrow at the creature. "I'm sorry, sir. By the authority of Prince Oargev and New Cyre, I'm going to have to ask you to cease and desist all burning activities within town limits!"

Chiron attempts to leap away from the flame. However, more than the actual movement he is protected by the sudden mental barrier he can put into being. If the fire is just an element, furthermore an element that he is also made of as all others are, then it should do him no harm. The burning touch should graze lightly along his arm as the breeze rattles the fields, leaving them unharmed. And most importanly, it does not even burn....burn....burn...

Regardless, as soon as Chiron descends from his jump of avoidance, he lunges in and strikes at the creature with a flurry, slashing with his scimitar and following up with a low mace smash.

"AAAGH!" Khurr tries to throw herself aside but leaps too late. She yowls in pain as the flames wash over her, blistering flesh, singing fur and scorching leather. Panting with a sudden shortness of breath, she limps aside then snarls in rage...
