The Guards did not take to kindly to Jean's disappearance, pushing through the crowd to try to locate the Inquisitor. Luckily John, who had been lagging behind the main group, had observed the whole specticale. Oh this won't due, If they catch the Inquisitor Ill be out of a healer. John thought as he ducked into an alleyway and watched the soldiers push through the crowd, grabbing random peasants and checking if they where Jean. As they passed a Textile stall John snapped his fingers. The flames started small at the bottom of the stall but quickly spread, enveloping the stall (the owner managed to dive out in time) in bright orange flames. The Guards, forgetting what they where just searching for grabbed some blankets from a clothesline and tried to stomp out the fire, to no avail.

As the flames grew out of control they spread to a small building behind the stall. A cry leapt up from the streets "BY THE GODS! THE PUPPY AND KITTEN ORPHANAGE IS ON FIRE!" Flames and smoke started to sprout from the windows as screams of terror echoed from the Puppies, Kittens and their care holders as they desperately tried to escape the burning building. The roar of the flames eventually drowned out the screams from inside but did little to hide the screams from those on the streets as they watched the inhabitants, still burning, hurl themselves out through the windows, crippling themselves as they hit the solid cobblestone streets. The smell of burning hair and fat filled the air as the sounds of bells and soldiers armed with buckets crowded into the streets. However they could do little but watch as the building and its inhabitants became nothing more then ash on the wind.

Meanwhile John had quickly left the scene and was making his way through the back alleyways towards The Sleepy Dragon Pub & Boarding House. He passed by Jean, quickly stopping to tell him "You owe me now" as soldiers with buckets ran towards the burning Orphanage. Before Jean could reply John quickly continued making his way towards the inn. As he reached the Inn a bouncer threw out a drunkard, who landed quite hilariously on his head with a sickening crunch. Ducking under the quite enormous bouncers arm John walked into the crowded Pub. Looking for a seat he noticed a disguised Delatton sitting in a corner. Making his way towards him John took a seat at the table. Brushing some ash off his cloak John said to the Drow "So...Elf, what dragged you out of your black pit and into our sunny lands?"

After escaping the guards, with some unwanted help from John, Jean finally reached the Sleepy Dragon. As soon as he entered, he heard the normal noise coming from the inhabitants of the Bar through the door to the right, and saw one of the usual bouncers heading back in. "Hey Jim. Busy morning considering..." Jean said to the bouncer, who he knew from his many previous stays at this Inn. "Yeah, I'm pretty surprised myself. Any idea what happened? I've been stuck here all morning, and the only real information any of these idiots have been able to provide is that there was a fight a little ways out of town...seems they all ran off before anything really happened." "Yeah, I was there for a portion of it. I'm going to go get changed, and then I've agreed to meet with some...friends in a few hours, so I'll tell you what I know while I wait." Jean replied, before heading up to his room. When he came back down, he continued talking with the bouncer while waiting for the Guards to show up.

Delatton sat at his corner table, sipping from his wine as John and Jean came in. The necromancer sat down, asking the monk what he was doing here.

"Well," said the drow, "I'm here on some pressing business. I won't burden you with the details, as I'm still not sure about the trustworthiness of that inquisitor over there. For some strange reason though, that bartender looks scared shitless."

Delatton spoke the truth alright. The bartender had a look on his face akin to a scared rabbit. Deciding to investigate, Delatton moved over to the man.

"Now tell me why you're quaking worse than an earth elemental?" he asked. The bartender had his assistant take over, leading Delatton into a back room.

"Well," replied the bartender (in a hushed tone). "My prize keg of ale disappeared. It's not the fact that it disappeared, it's how it disappeared that has me scared out of my skin. I has noticed scratchmarks and footprints consistent with skeletons. Apparently they had come into the basement from a sewer grate, somehow bypassing the golems. I hired some trackers to figure out where it had been taken to, and I found out that it was a group of skeletons in a nearby graveyard. Unfortunately the group was discovered and nearly everyone was killed. I need someone to do two things for me. One: get my keg back. Two: find the bastards who was behind it, and carve them up. Five-hundred gold for the keg, one-thousand gold for the controller's head."

"Look no further, some other folks and myself can take care of it."

"Thanks," replied the bartender, handing him a map with directions to the cemetery.

Delatton walked back out of the room to his corner table. "See if you can gather our old aquaintences," he said to John. We have some work to tide us over for a little while. It seems our fates are still intertwined for a bit."

OOC: Just as a heads up in case anyone doesn't yet know Kranford is now GM.

John nodded at the elf, slightly annoyed that this interuption broke his concentration on his Explosion spell, cancelling the spell. Meh, place could prove useful in one peice anyways. John thought as he climbed atop a table. In a load voice John yelled to the patrens of the bar
"Hey you bags of highly flammable meat! City guard got you down? Council taxxed every coin from ya sorry hides?! Well have we got an offer for you...... What was it again...oh yeah right..... Some bastards have stolen this poor,defenceless, flammable barkeeps prized Keg-O-Ale and hes offering over a thousand gold peices for its safe return! There will be adventure, violence, puppies............more puppies, hopfully on fire!......what else......Oh yeah and an army of Homicidal, bloodthirsty, cannablistic, praticually unkillable skeletons who have clawed their way out of the shallow graves they where buried in to feast on the still warm flesh of the living and wear their skin in a cruel mockery of their once living selves. So who's with us?! Anyone? Anyone at all?"

OOC: Ok so yeah, just something to show this isn't dead yet. Well anyways, not the best post but something needs to move the plot along.......well Post please.

(OOC: I was waiting to see if other people posted or not before I jump forward in time and go off to see the council. BTW, are you still going to be the one taking care of that?)

Jean hadn't been talking long when John stood up and yelled at the bar, making a fool of himself. "Be right back" Not waiting for a response, Jean walked over to John and Delatton. "Are you trying to draw attention to our group? Anyway, I'll join you if you don't plan to leave right away. I have a prior appointment I would like to keep. If you are planning on leaving now, I'll try to catch up."

O.O.C: The beginning part will be on how Jaw made it to the city from where he was last at. Which is something you would have been able to figure out on your own if you didn't read this and waste a few seconds of your life.

I.C: When Jaw noticed a guy punt his own head at the others, he noticed a chance to be able to follow them with ease. He quickly, yet silently, hid into the shadow of the headless body. This ensured him a way to keep with them without being noticed.

As he was waiting, he noticed the person's shadow he was hiding in caused a fire, and hearing "BY THE GODS! THE PUPPY AND KITTEN ORPHANAGE IS ON FIRE!" he couldn't help himself, and got sidetracked. He left the undead's shadow, and went over to watch and laugh. After a few seconds later he got bored of it, and noticed he lost the guy he was following. Dammit! I blame boredom for this. Hmm.... I wonder. It is a bit of a stretch, though. He moved into an alleyway and to summon a dog from the shadows. "Will you be able to track an undead guy down for me?" He said waiting to see if it would could lead him to where the guy was.

OOC: This is assuming you did not follow the shadow dog. Also this post will involve some changes on my part as I have no idea just how your shadow dog works or looks like. If you have any problems with this Jaw please contact me about what is wrong with it and I will change it accordingly.

IC: John had gotten off the table and moved into a corner table, still within earshot of Jean and Delatton but off to himself. he started leaning back on his chair, feet resting on a small dirty table. His eyes drifted over the general business of the Inn but not taking in any of it. All of a sudden he noticed a presence, a presence very familar with that "Wraith" from before. The glowing orbs that where his eyes searched the cramped Inn until he saw where the presence was coming from. On the wall behind him was a bunch of shadows, including his own, all mirroring the actions of their owners. However one shadow did not belong. It was the shadow of a dog, sitting apparently right beside John, though no dog was actually there. John whispered a kick word under his breath and reached out with his left hand towards where the dog should be. John felt his hand contact with something solid as the shadow dog on the wall started wagging its tail, probably expecting to be petted. John gave a slight grin behind his scarf before clenching his hand into a fist. The shadow dog slumped then disappeared from the wall behind him. His grin quickly disappearing John whispered anouther anchient phrase under his breath and his shadow suddenly fell out of its shadow chair. Getting up the shadow John gave a thumbs up to the real John then disappeared by diving into anouther shadow.

*Meanwhile by Jaw*: All of a sudden a John made up completly of shadows leaped out of the same allyway in directly the same spot Jaw had summoned the Shadow Dog. Turning to Jaw "Shadow John" said in an oddly echoy voice "Hey, shadow guy, Try to keep up to us next time. We are all heading towards The Sleepy Dragon Pub & Boarding House." before diving back into anouther shadow.

*Back at the Inn* Johns shadow jumped out of anouther shadow, gave a thumbs up to John and then reattached its self to John. John gave a slight chuckle then continued waiting for something fun to happen.

IC/OOC: Just as a heads up John used the exact same spell as Jaw.

Shortly after returning to the bouncer, the guards arrived for Jean. "You're early. I said two hours...it hasn't even been one." Jean said as he turned towards the four guards that had arrived. "Oh well, I was getting bored here anyway. Shall we go visit your council?"...

...A few minutes of meaningless dialog later, Jean and the guards left.

Varsanofii looked out through the tiny window. The entire room was diminutive, constraining. He had to watch his head to avoid hitting it on the ceiling. It reminded him of the barracks back in Tveren. It was morning. No use hanging around here. He was running low on money, and only rented the rooms for the night, walking around town during the day. The Bogatyr stretched and, making sure to not hit his head, walked out of his room. In this crouched posture, he walked through the halls and into the pub, where the ceiling was acceptably high. Varsanofii was able to stand up to his full height here. He wanted to get a pint, but, looking into his wallet, decided against it. He got a pint of water, which was colored the same as beer would be, and drank the brown liquid. Around this time one of the patrons screamed

"Hey you bags of highly flammable meat! City guard got you down? Council taxed every coin from ya sorry hides?! Well have we got an offer for you...... What was it again...oh yeah right..... Some bastards have stolen this poor, defenseless, flammable barkeeps prized Keg-O-Ale and he’s offering over a thousand gold pieces for its safe return! There will be adventure, violence, puppies............more puppies, hopefully on fire!......what else......Oh yeah and an army of Homicidal, bloodthirsty, cannibalistic, practically unkillable skeletons who have clawed their way out of the shallow graves they were buried in to feast on the still warm flesh of the living and wear their skin in a cruel mockery of their once living selves. So who's with us?! Anyone? Anyone at all?"

Well.. He was low on coin.. especially gold coin… and then, taking skeletons out would be good fun. And it seemed like a good deed. So, all three of his conditions were satisfied. He walked up to the screaming patron.

“I’d like to join in on this excursion.”
