It the town, across the  Alt River, t the  Ferry's closest  Inn was  , of course  Busy. With  travelers  from the Fur Man's chain, and the Alt  river, converging there    with goods, or passing through

  In the   area near the Hearth  two bards Played lively songs  and collected some coin thrown their way, while other  drank, sang along, or cheered at parts of the stories...perhaps a song about  Hargenites and sheep? or a sung Limmerick of The Emperor and his consort..

 scattered around were people eating and  drinking, just to relax, or wait for the next  merchant who might need a sword  arm, or, perhaps   to book passage of  crew  one of the two ships at the docks.. One ship was clearly a merchant vessel.. the lother, though it was Unloading Good...had the sleek look of a Pirate vessel.

 The  door  Busted Open and a Kid with a scuff  dog,  "they were Both  soaked from the  fast  ferry ride...Hey!.... there's  some   Sailor folk.. they's  attackin'  some people in Wood Tunnel..but them  folks  are given  them what they're Gettin!  Some other  guys from thier ship...don't look like sailor... are running ta help... I think them  folks getting  attacked need  Help!

 three    fighter types  stand  and toss a few coins on thier table, , the Biggest one  pushed the Kid away, he  kicks the scruffy dog as hit tries to bit him.....Mind yer Mouth Kid.... ain't none of yer business!

 The   stride out the   door Yelling...HOLD THAT FERRY!

Zorin alerts immediately to the commotion. He stands, drops 2 silver to cover his bill as he stands, it had only been ale.

As he stands, he pulls his hood down, to reveal his long brown hair, and his eye patch covering his left eye. His robes hung in white with and blue, down to his shins, hiding his whip on his right hip, but not the short sword scabbard on his left.

He strides silently out the door, removing his whip from under his short robes, behind the three blokes, stepping over the kid and his dog without a second look.

Miranda headed for the Thur planning to get a quick meal. Watching as a half soaked urchin followed by a similarly wet pooch dashed past her and through the Thur's entry. Pausing to smile at the situation Miranda continued forward catching the lads statement and what followed. Comming to a halt in the door she eyed the child beater.I suggest you stop striking children and small dogs and offer the lad a few silvers or a gold for their inguries. cautions Miranda. Noticing the white and blue robed follower closing in on the trio, who she acknowledged with a slight nod.

  The  Felow never Paused,  mind yer business, Strumpet..we have   work ta do...

 The three   went past her  with smug smiles...

Come now, give the boy your pity and coin and join the fight. Zorin says as he strides past Miranda. Vigor in his step and thirst for violence on his voice.

He turns his head as he passes into the doorway, I'll help ya fight them too, when it's over. If you still want. he grinned maliciously and let the door swing shut behind him.

  The last of the Three, looked back at the second Voice,what's wrong  with you two?.. the  kid's a beggar, the  dog will be someone's  dinner some day... and, if you don't  watch  yourselfs, You'll be sittting in the hold of our ship

 The  ferry Man held up his arms,  trying to get the Med to Hurry... The three started  on a Jog

In reply to Thur (msg # 6):

The thugs pushed her aside as they moved through the doorway, obviously failing to notice the Crimson pin secured to her Tabbard.  You fare to Assault one of the Crimsons. Miranda Stated drawing and nocking an arrow in one well skilled smooth blur. Sending two shafts at the fleeing thug leading the way.

 Miranda,  would be a tad, upset, that...though she did hit the   Last   'Sailor'..she  knows she would  have been, less then happy with the result from further away..  The  Fellow  yelled and  Pain and fell, an arrow to his leg and  one to his  left  leg.. The other  two Turned, the Leader snarled..YOU DARE!!!. Both sailors  rushed her the first one swung i heavy cutlasse, that bit her Leag .

 the  second one  would get to her in a heartbeat...

Zorin, being in between the trio and Miranda, was slightly startled by the nearness of the arrows to him.

He was turning around as they found their targets. He heard the yelps of the wounded men, the yell of the leader, and the charging of feet.

Now, that's no square fight! Zorin unfurled his long whip as the men passed him, and was drawing it back as the cutlass found purchase. The heavy leather braids were whistling past his head, making flight for the second man's sword arm.

In reply to Thur (msg # 8):

Miranda ducked back defensively through the buildings entry. Rapidly drawing dagger and longsword which she parried any Attack.

   Miranda fell back into the  door,

 Zorin's  whip  hits the  arm, the Cutlass drops the the  ground as the  mand  grabs his injured  wrist..

 The leader  switches tack , his  heavy Blade,  hits  Zorin's  left shoudler,, the  cut wasn't  deep as the  leading  edge  hit  him..but  there was a wound there...

 The  Little  dog   ran out the   door and  attacked the Man with the  arroes,  trying to  claw at his face  and Bite his nect.

With two occupied Miranda engages the third. Thrusting, parrying, fainting and slashing with sword and dagger.

Zorin grunts in pain when the blade connects. Now, this is fun. The hedonist beams in delight. He grabs the end of his whip with the same hand the grip is in, and makes a swing at the big man, using the heavy leather as a bludgeon.

He uses his opposite foot to shove the unarmed man down to the dirt.
