"The squeeker was heading squeeking somewhat south."

Germ swings his scimitar wide skirting around the Merman's guard bringing another slice across Notirt's arm before following up with a deft chop that leaves a bloody gash across the captain's torso. Notirt winces from the pain before responding with an attack of his own that manages to evade the demon's best defenses. With a flourish the Merman steps back sizing up the black knight. Round 2 of the Dueling Demon Germ vs. Captain Notirt - Mortal Hit - 80 Damage to Notirt Germ vs. Captain Notirt - Critical Mortal Hit - 120 Damage to Notirt Captain Notirt Vs.

OoC: Thanks for clarification on everything. Boris stays in the back row and tosses a Blind Bomb at the Front before using a Phoenix Essence on the first undead. Revised Battle Order: Cedric Boris Addok

Germ quickly repositions his gear before attacking the captain with his scimitar. The merman neatly dodges the demon's initial assault and attempts to riposte but cannot get back the black knight's defenses. Thrusting his rapier at Germ, the demon parries and lands a blow across the Merman's wrist, the demon's blade crackling with arcane electricity.

OoC: If Boris uses a blind bomb now, how would it work?

Amelia waltzes over to Hoke. "So Hoke how we doing about that job? Captain aced the interview didn't she?" The sailor gives the Paragon a wink. "Ya'd best put that thing away before ya hurt yerself lad." Notirt gives a nod as he unsheathes his sword. Ripton takes a place by the door. PREPARE FOR A DUEL!

"Oi, I sure saw a squeeking little dark squeeker go in there and come squeeking back out dragging a squeeking bag, probably about six squeeking hours ago."

Thalion inspects the spots and finds they are footprints of a very fine black dust. Vindsval picks up the snow globe and notes that it is a tiny reproduction of the Mopag Settlement, but nothing else. The druid does spot a rat moving through the snow at the edge of the house. "Squeek"

OoC: My question was whether each bomb hit the tables for one damage each. If that's the case then Boris and Addok's bombs would have dispersed all of the barricades and I'm fine with that. If not, then Boris is picking up the Phoenix Essence as his Second action. Also how does using a bomb work now? Does it hit all the zones, just one of them, two of them? "Hold the line gents. We need to analyze the situation very carefully here."

Aside from the mess caused by the toys, there doesn't seem anything unusual about the fireplace. "Of course I will help, didn't we already have this discussion back at the cave?" The door's lock seems forced, the windows however are still intact. "Anything about this room look off to anyone? Sounds like you were here before, no?"

OoC: So Bombs only damage one of the Tables? Not convinced we would have used them at all if we had known that. How do the two fronts work as far as free hits and AoE attacks? Also Cedric would have taken 1 Damage when he rolled DAMAGE against the Boss, unless he deflected it and 1 Damage from the Boss from his Free Hit. "Boys things aren't looking swell. Addok go for the spirits, Cedric the second Undead and the Boss."

"She's missing! She could be dead for all we know." "Please you must find her. She's been gone for nearly 6 hours." At this point Grunch enters the house. "Be not alarmed Sir or Madam, I am here to help find your little girl. These people if any are your daughter's best hope." "If you're referring to my compass? No good, tried it before and it appears you have to be closer in range to the target. What we need are clues." "No idea what triggered these ones though, someone must have been here to set them off."

QM Note: Sorry for the late reply. Notirt attempts to grab Germ by the arm before he leaves, the merman's other hand going to his sword. "Now hold on. Ya just don't drop news like that and skedaddle out of here like some limp hermit crab. Yer stayin' here where I can keep an eye on ya." Ezeran sees Germ try to make for the door before Captain Notirt holds the demon back.

"Addok, now might be a good time to throw a bomb." Boris tosses a floral bomb and a military Fire Bomb from the back row. "Cedric, can you keep those two busy?" Battle Order: Cedric Boris Addok-Zo

The bounty hunter keeps a hand on his sword. "Some Aunt Theresa. Lay another hand on me and you'll find out why I'm not afraid to face down an entire crew."

The werepenguin places his hand on the hilt of his sword. "Careful chap. Some lady in Salmanda just posted a bounty, she didn't exactly go into his whole life story."

"I'm in agreement, unless your companions disagree, I'm comfortable wiz Captain Winthrop's Crew." "I'm sorry, I don't know ya. Is this some sort of threat?" "Why do you think I needed the Tiger Balm? With so many of his compatriots near by it wasn't going to be an easy task. I've got a ship sailing out for Salmanda soon, bring him as quick as your able." With that the Werepenguin exits the tavern.
