- "Don't worry about me, I can take care of myself" Chalmers says once their
- lips part "You seem to have gotten yourself into a bind and I want to be their
- to help you mend it.", "Not another word about it, well have plenty of time
- to talk about it once we get underway.", Chalmers reassurres her, "Is there
- something I can get you from downstairs? Something hot perhaps, you must be
- hungry?"
-
- Just then a loud noise causes Chalmers to turn his head towards the door, in
- time to see a bright light appear under it for a split second. Grabbing one of
- Ravens knives in his left hand and placing another at her side Chalmers runs
- for the door. Turning to face Raven with a sly smile "Don't move, no sound,
- and don't worry!" Chalmers opens the door slowly and stelthly slips out of the
- room, closing the door silently behind him.
-
- Meriden, startled, looked where Jester was looking. *JINGLE*, *JINGLE* The
- assassin looked up in horror and froze. His gaze and Meriden's locked, and
- then he turned and started back down the stairs. Meriden, meanwhile, pulled
- at the thread he had been fingering. The pattern of a rose, to which it led,
- unraveled and released a burst of colored light. A phantom polychromatic
- rose hovered in the air over the table, it's petals changing colors madly,
- it's leaves scintillating with every shade and hue of green.
-
- The assassin began to smile, and moved wiht less deadly intent. Meriden
- began to speak, strange words which slid away from one's perception. The
- sounds seemed to press in at everyone in the room with a hidden menace.
- Meriden stopped speaking and the assassin froze. A look of betrayal covering
- his face.
-
- Chalmers hit the top of the stairs in silence in time to see the assassin
- turn its back to him. Chalmer's feet left the top step and landed square in
- the assassins back sending him reeling down the remaining steps, his weapon
- landing at the feet of Jester. With the spring of cat Chalmers landed on
- the assassin's chest, his legs at the assassins side. With deathly speed
- Chalmers pressed both thumbs into the assassins throat, no sound was heard,
- the assassin was motionless.
-
- "The #HOLD# spell would have worked but getting him to turn with the #CHARM#
- spell was ideal, again, my thanks, to both of you." Chalmers said graciously.
- "Barkeep, a bowl of hot soup and some bread to my room if you please, Raven
- is recovering but still resting." The barkeep headed for the kitchen with a
- nod and a smile "I knew the young lass would pull through" the barkeep thought
- to himself.
-
- "Gentlemen, if you would car to follow me, I wish to ask this fellow a few
- questions!", Chalmers, assassin in arms, Meriden and Jester, all assended
- the stairs to Raven and Chalmer's room.
