The Road North
Re: The Road North
Llolfaen hurried back to the guards' shack, running as fast as she could. She cursed herself for not ensuring that enough of the party stayed behind at the shack, she could only hope that she wasn't too late. She was almost, almost, tempted to pray that she would at least catch a glimpse of the half-orcs' compatriots but was wary of invoking the Dark Mother here of all places. But if she was proven right, then the party would have to be made to do certain things her way.

@Tyrien e'Adrianne missed with her dagger. The bladesman pressed his attack at Tyrien. He brought the right in across her face, causing her bow to come up to parry the sword. But this left her knee open and the follow up sword went low and deep into the tendons in the knee. Tyrien felt the knee and knew she in bad shape. While she was distracted with the bladesman the little guy threw another but this time it was at the guard. The dagger caught the guard in the and he collapsed to his knees and blood gurgled out of his mouth.

Re: The Road North
Seeing Lloafen sprint past her at an alarming speed Ali turned to see the faintest hints of dust fall to the earth. Sprinkling it red. glancing back to make sure that the others were ok, Ali breaks after Lloafen and calls her wolves back to her. Where ever Lloafen was going she was in a hurry, and it seemed that she would either be going to back to the inn, for some unknown bizarre reason; or more likely she was going back to the guarded room that was not so guarded to check on the orcs. No matter witch was so Ali was set on following to make sure that she was okay. Though I mightn't matter as she had been completely useless in the prior fight.

Llolfaen ran for all she was worth, thankfully being nighttime it meant there were few if anything obstacles in her path. The gaurds' shack loomed in the distance, though she couldn't make out if anything was happening. She was hoping that she wasn't too late, hoping that the half-orcs' co-conspirers had yet to silence them. Admittedly she hadn't much of a plan, relying more on instinct to carry her through as opposed to careful planning.

Re: The Road North
Tyrien's opponents not only outnumbered her, but they were better skilled in fighting in melee. They had trapped her and cornered her, pretty much the best way to deal with an archer of her caliber. She had been left alone with the guards, and those other adventures took off to who knows where.
She thought, 'this is probably why it is best to travel with companions... pity I have none.'
Her wounded knee was hampering her movements and her knife was easily knocked aside.

Llolfaen wasn't sure what to make of the sudden silence and then the faint sound of voices, though it seemed that her hunch had proven to be correct. Thankfully Ali also had the sense to come back, something that Llolfaen had to grudgingly respect the elf for doing. With rapier drawn, Llolfaen darted into the shack and lashed out at one of the thugs.

Tyrien takes a step back and holds the knife downward towards the floor, instead of in a threatening manner.
"Alright, I can see that you still outnumber me. There is little doubt that you would kill me and still take away the orcs. But why would you want these oafs? They know nothing and cannot be trusted."
She was offering a distraction for the blur of another joining into the fray to save her.
With a few paces away from the foes, she dropped the knife and shot an arrow at the halfling.

That might work, depending on the kind of lock. “Might have to do this the old fashioned way and just smash it.” She eyed the icy companions accompanying them in the tunnel.

The locked door sprang open under the strength of the icy elementals. Felicity poked her head up. It seemed to open into a storage area.

With the little guy's vanishing trick, Llolfaen turned her attention to the remaining foes and struck out at the blademan. Much to her frustration, whilst her rapier seemed to strike true it appeared to fail to inflict any meaningful blows. Admittedly here she was forced to react and improvise her attacks rather than her preferred method of calculated strikes from the shadows. That said, she did have considerably more in the way of back-up than what she was normally used to.Main Account: stormwell

Re: The Road North
Llolfaen heard Tyrien's cry and simply nodded, trying a moment to figure out how best to tackle the bladesman. He was still armed and that made things problematic, though if he could be put off-guard then that would leave him open for one of Ali's creatures to then dart in and attempt to tackle the man. Llolfaen went to strike with her rapier, then feinted at the last moment in hopes of creating enough of an opening for @Ali.

Tyrien was not doing very well herself and she stayed in the jail for a few more moments. "If you would be so kind, I have a few knife wound that could use some attention when you are finished. I had to hold off those killers until help arrived."
She looked out into the village, trying to determine where best she could lend her services. With the knife wound, she was pretty much useless in doing much be general physical labor of carrying buckets.

Re: The Road North
Seeing the guards beginning to wake and realising the awkward questions that would probably be asked, Llolfaen opted to pull her cloak around her and head outside. Noticing the fires she decides it might be an idea to effectively hide in plain sight and, with her cloak pulled tight, helps with ferrying buckets of water.
