Sing lustily and with good courage.
Be aware of singing as if you were half dead,
or half asleep:
but lift your voice with strength.
Be no more afraid of your voice now,
nor more ashamed of its being heard,
than when you sang the songs of Satan.
At the stables
**Unfortunately, at the next stall, they did indeed find a dead horse, its throat slit. The mage's sigil upon its bit marked it as one of theirs.
There was a flash of movement several stalls down.**
-------------------------------
At the bathhouse
**This time the strike did seem to rock the hulk a bit, and he was slower to recover, meanwhile the other were moving on him at either side. One of the smaller one raised a hand that was surrounding in a swirling black and green aura.**

Kherren followed to second swing of the chain with an uppercut. His stoney hand aiming to daze the enemy before he shoulder barged his way into the hulk and hopefully out of the way of whatever the smaller man was doing.
Olo to Nervada- Go to chase that little one down, I'll take your post and Damek will protect the kids.
Olo casts Distraction on Damek. When Damek looks at him he simply nods, knowing that Damek will know what to do.
Olo-We got a runner from the bath house out around back. Nervada is in pursuit, I'll take his place watching the rear and Damek will stay here to ensure the kids stay safe.
Damek's gaze immediately snapped to Olo, and he grit his teeth in annoyance. It was a handy signal, but it never ceased to piss him off. Nonetheless, he did as Olo wanted and began to shift shape, to a form he was far more comfortable fighting in. He sincerely hoped that in the next few minutes he would get to taste the flesh of this land.
**Antoninus set after the movement, trying to discern what it was in the gloom.**

Just gonna move forward on the assumption Dawn, Ayatola and Quo can't post anymore until they do. Things may never move forward otherwise.
--------------------------------------
Behind Overburden
**The figure must have heard Nervada following him, for as Nervada neared the back door to the bathhouse, the robed man stopped and turned, releasing a blast of swirling green and black energy.**
---------------------------
Inside the Bathhouse
**The Hulking man stumbled back and finally got bowled over as Kherren hit him, his hood falling back to reveal a mindless face with skin the color of onyx, hair the color of flame and eyes that glowed with sickly green fire.
A massive hand grabbed the back of Kherren's neck.**
Bane's Reading Suggestions David Eddings: The Belgariad, Mallorean, Elenium and Tamuli Series. The Redemption of Althalus Jim Butcher: The Codex Alera Series
Pugsly, in the Bath house, maintains his grip on the Robed figure and shakes his head back and forth, while making steel on steel scraping noises that we'll just have to assume is a growl.
Epic World! Because seriously! It's the awesome!
And don't forget to do your shopping at The Newe Haberdashery, the finest vendor of magic items and oddball services ... Ever!
Kherren didn't have time to finish that thought as the hand clamped around his neck. The garr aimed to the give the grabber no time to do anything else, reaching over his shoulder to grasp the wrist of his assailant and pulling himself forward into as tight a roll as possible.
Nervada just barely manages to dive out of the way of the impromptu blast (towards the bathhouse). He quickly regains his footing and continues his charge while cackling like a madman. This trip was getting good.
**As Nervada regains his footing and goes to resume his charge, he realizes his dive had taken him through bathhouse doorway, and several more robed them where now staring at him.
Kherren's managed to toss the hulk, who thankfully had been momentarily distracted by a crash Kherren heard on the other side of the room.
Hulk 3, sight recovered, absently punted Pugsley across the room as he turned to look at Nervada.**
-------------------------
In the Tavern
Doggett - Quinn, go aid the garr.
Quinn - Like hell...
Doggett - My men aren't leaving the children. Some of you need to stay here, the rest need to help you compatriots.
Quinn - I will stay here.
Doggett - No, will not. I need to question this man. I don't know what your issue with him is-
Quinn - ...he was Lee's fixer.
**Doggett froze for a moment, glanced at the fat man, then back at Quinn.**
Doggett - ...Go now, before I have you restrained. Someone should back up Alphonsine and Antoninus as well.
------------------------ In the Stables
**With Alphonsine following close behind, Antoninus moved deeper into the stables. Finally he came across four heavily robes men, two smaller, two huge and hulking. One of the smaller ones had a knife and was about to kill another of their horses.**
Bane's Reading Suggestions David Eddings: The Belgariad, Mallorean, Elenium and Tamuli Series. The Redemption of Althalus Jim Butcher: The Codex Alera Series
**Still presumably blessed with the element of surprise, Antoninus motioned Alphonsine toward the smaller ones, furrowing his brow at her in the hope that she could dispatch them. Then, raising his axe high, he let loose a low bellow as he brought it down on the nearer of the larger men.**

Roshem made towards the door in a burst of motion. "I shall hurry to Antonio and Alphonso," he shouted as he ran, unaware he the names were both wrong.

Kherren's jaw dropped as Nervada crashed through the door and declared himself as a target to some of the hulks. Their surprise couldn't last for long however, so the Kherren immediately drove an elbow into the face of the hulk he had just pulled over him.
In The Bathhouse
**The strangers glanced at each other for a moment and one of the small ones peeled off and followed Nervada, who found the one he'd been chasing hadn't kept running and was waiting for him. Now he found himself with a building on the right, a slope to a cliff to the left, and enemies charging up energy blasts before and behind him.
Kherren landed his elbow and stunned Hulk 2, but Hulk 1 beneath him had regained his senses in the meantime and locked his hands about the garr's throat.
One of the smaller ones caught sight of Herschel spectating and hurled a magical blast at him.**
In the Stables
**Roshem arrived inside in time to see Antoninus sink his axe into the back of a hulking figure in a black robe. An inhuman scream escaped it as it collapsed forward onto the ground. The other three immediately spun and stepped back, drawing knives and gathering dark energy about their hands.**
In the Tavern.
**Doggett began ordering everyone to fortify the inside of the tavern. The bartender had locked himself in the backroom as soon as stuff had turned violent.**

((As a reminder/heads up to Bane, Damek is now in wolf form in the tavern ready to defend. She is busy with school all day so she might not get a chance to post very quickly. But if she is needed she is ready to fight, and quite eager too. Just will be a little slow to post.))
Olo having taken Nervada's post out back, figured he should probably help his brother. He waited to cast Distraction on the farther mage until he about to finish the cast, hoping to make him miss or better yet, hit the other mage. With the closer mage, he cast Daze looking to interrupt the channel of power. Olo also gets ready to dodge.
Olo to Nervada- Bro far one from me is getting distracted, close one dazed. If this works, get ready to jump so the far one misses you and maybe hits the closer one.
Kherren frowned as the hulk tried to crush his airway, dropping his chain. He thrust his arms between the hulks and tried to pry them apart with his own. If that was successful he followed it up with a brutal headbutt to the center of the hulk's face.
Nervada unhooks his guitar has he grasps it in one hand, keeping it behind him. He approaches the mage in front of him, although he uses Olo's vision to keep track of where both mages are pointing those blasts.
**Kherren found himself unable to pry the man's hands apart, but they suddenly released moments later as Quinn burst in and punted Hulk 1's head.**
Quinn - Having trou-
**Quinn's snarky remark was cut off as the remaining unengaged caster blasted him across the room with their weird energy.**
Behind Overburden
**The two mages both aimed directly at Nervada and released their magics, only to visibly lose their their concentration at the last second as the spells took hold.**
In the Stables
**The remaining Hulk waded in at Antoninus with his massive knife. The two casters unleashed energy blasts at Roshem as he charged.**

Which repeated as he snapped his head back moments, a raspy, gurgling chuckle coming from the hood.**

Kherren immediately swung the chain back in the opposite direction.
Antoninus - "If they hurt the goddamn horses..."
