Zorin's   Handle   hits the   leader, stoutly in the   neckand shoulder, The   Man  staggers at the  Blow  and hacks  back,,, however, Zorin's attempt  to kick the   wounded  hand man, closest to the  door,  misses, and he...JUST..staggers  out of Balde  reach of the Leader.. The  other Man's  voice is   almost undiscernible , as the little dog ravages his  face and neck.

 Miranda, just inside the door.. sees Zorin's kick miss and  the man stagger out of the way of a wciked Clutlass strike.

Stepping back and clear of the door Miranda sheathed her sword and dagger, readies her bow, nocking an arrow. If she spots a target she looses the shaft at them.

Zorin recovers as he sees the big man's blade pass him just, hearing the blade more than seeing it.

He rights himself, and takes a big step back, and makes 'keep away' swing with his shortened whip, trying to give himself some room as he draws his sword underhand from his left side, with his left hand.

The target that presented itself was the thug that was grounded. Miranda instinctively loosed a shaft his way.

  The arrow, from close range, sunk deep into the  man with the damaged Writs.. he fell once  more, face first and   only moved a Bit.

 The  Fellow   and the  Dog  were quiet, as the man who had not throat or  eyes  lied still while the  Dog sat down, licking its lips

 The Leader  now charged  Zorin,  figurign he   could take  what hit the  man  could give, before he  overwhelmed him.

With two out of action Miranda quickly changed weapons. Drawing Longsword she moved towards the last thug striking him in the side of his head with the swords pummel.

Seeing and hearing that two of the three were out, Zorin dropped his sword and, in a flurry of finger movement and a quick word muttered, he drove his palm onto the man's chest, casting Inflict Wounds on contact.

   Miranda  being nicked up,  ;imped  Over to try and whack the Guy on the Head.. she  pommel  Misted his head as he moved  But  hit  His shoulder  , causing he   to Glower  at her, Just as  Zorin  hit His  chest... ..he screamed in surprised   as he staggered  Back,, his freee nand  coming to his  his  chest..the Pain was great, but he looked at two...

 was gonna save you for the chains...but now.. I'm just killing ya..

As the man grabbed his chest, Zorin took two big steps back quickly, loosed his whip.

The man made his threat, and Zorin struck with his whip in the next instant.

Miranda gives the thug a dismissive as she steps back and focusses.  This also ensures she doesn't interfere with the other fellow's activities.

  The whip struck the fellow  hard, his leathers   saved  him, save for   some nicks  were skin was  exposed.

 He   Made  a  sweep with his  cutless, and  turned hios wrist on an backhand...

Zorin steps back away from the first blow, it just missed. He saw the backhand coming and leaned back, he should have gone farther, but he wanted to work with this other woman. As the big man's sword swung wide, he dropped his shoulder and drove forward, into the fellows gut. He hoped to knock him flat, with a lift after contact, but a good push back would serve as well.

In reply to Zorin (msg # 25):

Noting the other participants attempt Miranda side stepped swinging a leg forward to sweep the Thugs feet out from under him.

Miranda glances about to see if there was  any other threat. Well met fellow. I welcome Thy assistance dealing with these Thugs. she quickly searches the bodies of each. Removing anything of value along with weapons, cutting her arrows from the bodies. Miranda then check how the urchin and dog are; affording her impromptu Comerad in arms a friendly smile. I am Miranda of the Glenn, and you wouldst be...

Zorin nods as he goes and grabs his sword. It was my pleasure. He puts his sword back in it's scabbard. He rifles through the big guys pockets and finds a second money bag.

He stands after looking toward the ferry, I'm Zorin, miss Miranda. Shall we go see on this ferry issue we can out here for?

  The Little Boy comes out from the  Inn.  His  doggie  walks  up wagging his  tail.....these  guys..they are bad men.... there are more bad men in the Tree Tunnel.....they are attacking  some people, i think they want to steal them  and  put them on thier ship..

 Looking at his dog he saysCome on Fen.. i have to wash the Blood off you, by the ferry...

 The Inn Keeper  comes out and Looks at the Bodies... You took  them out  right enough... you watch  fer their people..most are on thier ship, Others went up The Chain..to see if they can find more people....Others  went  down to Boll...I send  some fellas down the shore  line with lanterns to warn off fisher men  coming up the river, so's thy don't get caught here.

Right then, to the tree tunnel. I take issue with slavers. Zorin coils his whip in his hand as he begins heading to the tunnel.

He called over his shoulder, Are you coming, Miranda of the Glenn?

Miranda crouches to pat the dog and subtlety slips the Urchin a Silver. Standing asks the innkeeper if he's willing to store the weapons and armor, for a equal share in their value. Heading  towards the Tree tunnel, readying her bow, as she does.

 The  Kid  and the  doggie ( who looks quite full of himself  scampered ahead  of the Two...The Ferry Guys  will get  us across... who ever lives in teh Tunnel , will need to  cross  any way

 The  fellow  eyed the two warriors, he could  just about  see the fighting, and the blood  from the wounds the  two suffered.

 ..You  stangers?   just made some bad enemies.. then sailors you cut  down, are Hargen mercs... We in Thur.. got  rid of a couple. but  we can't stand  an' fight against 'em..

The cleric stops and looks at the boy, then turns to look at Miranda. Waiting to see if she's following or if the innkeeper is influencing her opinion.

In reply to Thur (msg # 32):

Miranda grinned ferally Hargen Merc's chancing across Crimson's oft end up face down. she responds moving off. The Innkeeper passed on the offer would you and any of your friends be interested in the same offer. she asked the Urchin loud enough for the innkeeper to hear as they headed to the ferry.

Zorin strides alongside Miranda, running a hand along his wounds and muttering a incantation for his Healing Word spell. He wasn't planning on having to fight more, but it seems to be one of those days.

So, what's your plan for when we find these blokes lady? he inquired of his new co-combatant.

In reply to Zorin (msg # 35):

Matching Zorins pace Miranda glanced in his direction.  Assess their group and situation then either Note their composition and location or Kill Them. she replies with a half smile.
Well young Master have you had sufficient time to consider the offer

  The Lad  Pointed  at the two warriors and said...They  want to go help those folks in the  Tree tunnel..., they helped be and Snarl  kil some other Bad  Guys

 The ferryman looks at the two and says,we'll take you over  for free...but you'll havta  pay to come back...

 The  Kid  and the   Dog ran onto the   raft -like  ferry that had  three for  side  boards on..the  men at each end  began to  haul on the  Ropes  while the ferry man Blew a horn to warn any ships , that the  ropes were now up..

In reply to Thur (msg # 37):

Thank Thee for Thy aid goodfellow. comments Miranda as she steps aboard the Ferry. Standing beside the Urchin she gives his shoulder a greatful squeeze. The fact that Hargen Mercenaries were operating in Thull was something that should be looked into.
