The evil wizard hisses as the dagger sinks into his shoulder.

"I have clearly done what I wanted. Your name is well known Rathil and I will not challenge you tonight,"he says between clenched teeth holding his shoulder.

He then waves his hand and dissappears by running into a fire vortex that suddenly appeared. It then dissappears afterwords leaving no trace.

You can hear faintly in the background "Until next time!"

Criani runs down the stairs with her magical battle axe in her hand. "What is going on here?" she screams giving out a war cry!

Rathil, Tira ten' rashwe!

*Rathil laughs and pulls his sword from the one Basilisks eye and plunges it into the other eye. Going right into it's brain silencing the roar. He looks up as Criani comes running downstairs and looks around him. Tables and chairs overturned. Scorch marks covering the walls. Bottles of liquor behind the counter broken and burning a little. Rathil looks at her and shrugs*

Practicing for the Rodeo my dear

Good job Rathil who was that wizard and who is Ishtar

"Don't tell me another minion of Ishi-tars doings,"Criani says putting her magical battle axe back onto its slot above the fireplace.

I'm afraid so. I sadly wasn't able to get here in time to stop any real damage or to stop that moron Jericho from putting on one of those accursed rings.

*Turns towards Ean*

Ishtar is an insane wizard that works most of his magic through draining the life forces of people to strengthen his own. He sells random trinkets and effects that sap the energy.

can't help but laugh at Rathil's remark about a damn rodeo.
Looks down at Jericho, Are you alright ? you don't look so good.
How about you Mr. Flamboyant? You ok?

Looks towards the half elf, in other words don't put on those accursed rings.

a lil scorched no worse for wear

Are you kidding me? That guy was about as low on the totem pole as they get for Ishtar's army. If Ishtar wants to stand up against me he needs to come himself. Bunch of clowns in his army. Always people wanting to strike it rich quickly. They are all expendable fodder to Ishtar

*Jericho has beads of sweat forming around his forehead even though he seems to be shivering. It is clear that he is conscious but he does not seem to hear the people talking to him.*

I unlike jericho here know better than just to put them on

(oh now he speaks to me after ignoring my question and getting a fire ball thrown at me)
Narrows her eyes at him.

just smiles

Well, excuse me for asking then. far beit for me to be concerned over you.

Criani shakes her head. If I have to hire a mage to watch this tavern then I will. I am tired of paying for damages in my business,' she says in a upset tone.

She then looks at Boromir and smiles. "It is good you got me as quickly as you could. I will give you a raise for this atrocity you went through,'she says.

Boromir smiles for the first time as he never was so scared in his life before.

After cleaning up Criani bids everyone a good night and walks up the stairs. She then stops.

"Boromir close the tavern early tonight," she orders.

Boromir nods his head understanding.

*Laughs*

What did I tell you the first day we met? Unbound levels of Confidence and more than my fair share of Cockiness. Concern is not something I require.

*Removes his hat and dips into a low bow*

hands the rings to Rathil and says you know what to do to these

Ah there are more of them?

I have always wanted to get my hands on some of Ishtars rings. Usually when they are removed the rings are broken and useless. I wouldn't have been able to get anything out of the ring Jericho wears

Looks down at her arm that had been burnt and her side, now that all the commotion is over.
Reaches into her pouch and pulls out a vial. Opens it and drinks it . The burn is still there but at least the pain has subsided.

jokingly he says we could cut his finger off
