In reply to Marcus Blackthorn (msg # 187):

None remain here. One or two faces Leroy had seen in the rathskellar are not about here; perhaps not all of the gang showed up, but you have certainly dealt with the majority of them. No sign of the blonde woman, ir of the silvery shadow elf thathad appeared on the rooftop.

Marcus begins to make his way down.

In reply to Marcus Blackthorn (msg # 189):

By which time Anita has finished gathering what valuables she could find and the caltrops?

In reply to Anita Drake (msg # 190):

Anita takes a fullminute to retrieve a third of the caltrops, the purses and knives, retrieving armor takes 30 seconds per corpse

"Well, it's obvious where we go next, and finish this. But, we've some business to take care of, and should prepare for it. It'd've been easier to have just killed you three, but now we gotta hold you someplace and let you go, we when we make our raid. When we make the raid...not let you go, when we come back. This is to make sure you don't go giving them a tip off, beforehand...and we're not holding your lives hostage, if  we fail."
Leroy speaks first to his comrades, then to the captives.

In reply to Leroy du Lac (msg # 192):

Anita continues collecting the caltrops...storing all the contents of the purses in a single one and all the knives she could gather (how many? what sort?) in another one or two.

"Really? We don't HAVE to let them go...I doubt they would extend the same courtesy to us...I did my best to keep their number down."

"Sure they wouldn't. But if they make me regret it, in particular...I might just have to give them a sterner lecture next time! No, seriously. Until we uncover some horrors proving otherwise, when we raid their ratskeller...I don't think these guys are as evil, as they're misguided."
says the ever-flippant Leroy.

In reply to Leroy du Lac (msg # 194):

"Misguided? Even the demons claim they are just misunderstood! They made their choices...cut their throats and be done with them! The dead don't betray you...if they do, kill them again!"

"C'mon. We need to stash them someplace for a few hours while we sell off our swag, and prepare for our final assault, and find someone to baby sit them until it's time to let them go. I'll even pay for it. What's three silver pieces to the lives of three people? Put them in secure room, get them some wine, and let them go, when we're ready to sack the place! Looks like I'm your only friend, fellas. Better stay on my good side! She's liable to cut your throats, as look at you. Pretty hard to drink wine that way..."
Leroy says dryly.

In reply to Leroy du Lac (msg # 196):

"Damn right...for three silver pieces I will cut their throats and be done with it. Much more secure that way..." she mutters.

"You can pay for it out of your share then." she responds to Leroy.

"Sure! Let's take 'em over to the Fey joint, for safe keeping. We can  trust them."

Rosewood jumps up and flys over the others.
He look down at Leroy and nods.
This little Pixie with have nothing to do with murders what ever their colour, race or faction.  That would make me no better than the winter court and the woman you just appeared.
We could take them to the inn.  I sure someone there will look after them.  We may have stress no killing.  But I sure they enjoy entertaining our new friend for few hours.  You can add my money into the money needed to keep them alive.

In reply to Rosewood (msg # 199):

"No better than the Winter Court? I thought you wanted to be part of that? Why should we be better than a fey court anyway?"

"Because we can't be callin' ourselves the good guys after a masacree! Force, followed by benevolent recourse...until they start fuckin' up again. You just might hear someone say it one night from the shadows. "You're fuckin' up againnn, Pierre.."
That's not exactly a sustained peace.. but it'll do for now, so mind yerselves!"
Leroy replies, trying to harden his amused expression.

Marcus says,"If we are going to assault their headquarters I am going to need better armor."

Rosewood stares at Anita Drake.  If looks could kill then Anita head would be the next one that exploded from pixie dust.
What on earth gave you that idea.  If I wanted to join them I would not be hear helping Leroy du Lac and you.  I would be nice and safe in other realm.
The summer court has little regard for the human world but it does not shed others live unless it really need to.  In the winter court they have no such idea.  Some even enjoy other creature being killed but they would never admit it.

Rosewood thinks a bit.
As for the Autumn court.  It excepts some things must die but only if it is there time.  Most creature should be able to hibernate or survive the coming winter if they prepare well.  We will not kill unless it is necessary.  For we know death come to quickly enough without anybody helping it in any way.

In reply to Rosewood (msg # 203):

"Ah, excuse my ignorance of the courts. If the Winter court is that nasty, then we should be prepared to fight them as well. Sounds like the mistress of this bunch may be a member there, in fact. May even be that chick you were talking to...is that possible?

As for these clowns, sending them off so they have a chance to get better prepared may sound like mercy, but there is no evidence they have changed in any slight way. They still seem the same murderers who came charging down this street five minutes ago...only now they may be wiser, and more dangerous."

"We need to dump these bodies. I say we bury them in the dung cart."

In reply to Gordab Bardson (msg # 205):

"Good point, Gordab. Lets get these shits where they belong...anyone else want to check them for stuff?"

"Good idea, Gordab. It's right there,too. Let's strip them to their underclothes, and check their boots..."

In reply to Leroy du Lac (msg # 207):

are you collecting armor, including garments with their insignia? Gordab thinks their cloth armor is fit for the manure wagon

In reply to Narrator (msg # 208):

Anita agrees...it is cheap and not worth much. We could all steal an insignia and pretend to be assholes and go visit their club though...

Rosewood starts to fly around in a panic Screaming.
Leprechauns, Leprechauns, the Leprechauns are back.
Go away, leave me alone, I will get you if you don't.  Go away.

He seem to be pointing just over Anita shoulder where she had put some of the items she was looting.

He seem more freaked out about this than the killing of the cultist or the arrival of the faerie woman.

OOC:
This make sense in very pixie way, it fits with his flaws.

In reply to Rosewood (msg # 210):

Anita looks up.

"Seriously, kid, you are off with the fairys, I swear..."

Before going back to looting.

OOC: They can keep their sweaty gambesons and insignia.
"They already know us by now. Best let these be their grave clothes.."
Leroy says looking at the slain, and gear.
