Julian cursed as his firemarble impacted with a barrel and caused it to ignite. Only two left. He had better make them good ones.
'What does a man have to do to get a quiet DRINK in this god forsaken realm?!' he shouted at Flaccus, trying to steady his arms as they began shaking. Forcing himself to calm down, he leant his slingshot on the back of his shoulder in a manner Ussop would be proud of and began walking slowly around the street in an anticlockwise motion.
'Oi, OI! Minty freshness! Eyes on me, EYES ON ME!' he shouted, noticing the creature's attention was fixed on Phoenixflame. 'I think I speak for us all when I say we don't know who you are, what you're doing here, and that we really don't care. And I refuse to believe that you came all the way here from some other plane of existance simply to terrorise the locals.'
'Now. This can go two ways. You calm the hell down, leave, and let us get back to our respective businesses. OR-'
He flexed his fingers, and another firemable appeared in his hand and began to glow.
'- we carry on, and whatever befalls you is of your own doing.'

*Meanwhile...
Callimpsest has remained inside the tavern. Considering what he has picked up about the goings-on outside, he is too nervous to investigate further. He decides to distract himself from his cowardice by taking up the roof repair job.
Lifting the bucket of thatching [OOC: which briefly became a bag in one of Julian's posts ;D], Callimpsest shakily climbs the ladder, which fortunately still has a number of ladder-holding punters in attendance. He is not used to being so far above terra firma in such a way: the KMBS library did have high shelves, but Callimpsest tended to use charms to bring down and put back high-up books.
Callimpsest begins to lay thatching to cover what remains of the hole. He avoids looking down at what is happening outside. Perhaps destruction is only moments away; but if so, he would rather spend those moments making himself useful than cowering under a table again. And what is more, if the Heifer is about to go from Crazed to Cremated, let the place look immaculate before it meets its end.*
[OOC: Has anyone seen the film Timeline? It was on TV last week, and had a scene involving a 14th century thatched roof!]

*Flaccus, hearing Julian's words, changes his stance to that one of a defensive, with his arms wide at his side and exposing his chest, as if to say 'go ahead, hit me'*
"Finnally, somebody who actually THINKS around here. All I do is ask where by brother is, and I get hit with some orb thingy. Then, you shoot some fire-marble at me. Now- "
*Gestures to PheonixFlame*
"-this chick is ready to fight me. Trust me, I love a good fight, and I could go all day since you guys seem like fun. But, I gotta find my brother first. (mimicking Julian's voice perfectly) Now. This can go two ways. Either you tell me where the hell by brother went, or you can see just how angry a Sivak Draconian can get. I haven't had a decent challenge in a while, and my sword arm has been getting rusty."
[OOC: Lol, from Flaccus' point of view, your the ones who started the fight. Flaccus is a expert with his sword, so keep that in mind when thinking about his weird stance.]

'Actually if I recall, old boy, my colleague here told you your brother was involved in a scuffle, and you proceeded to threaten him with certain kinds of pain. We certainly don't make it our business to pick fights with random strangers. People get hurt. I don't like that, especially if it's me.'
'Your brother had something of a temper tamtrum and went up yonder,' he beckoned, gesturing up one of the streets. 'I'm sure you'll run into him, especially if the resemblance is striking.'
'There. You got what you needed to know. Now leave these people alone.'

*Flaccus got a confused look on his face, not even registering Julian's words as an insult* [OOC: When it comes to D&D, Flaccus has a intelligence score of 8]
"That sounds like my brother all right. He does get pretty nervous and violent when he can't feel Tahkesis' prescence. Ah, well, I better go find him."
*Flaccus looks at where Julian pointed, and still confused, looked back at Julian*
"Er..which building? And why is there two inns close by? Doesn't that cause some competition?"
[OOC: A question I was going to ask myself XD..and yes, you have met Flaccus Hellfire, the bipoler Sivak Draconian lol.]

*Phoenixflame smiled quickly as she felt the spell from Meliss take effect on her sword*
"THank you! And thank you for the healing spell on Zeytan!"
*Phoenixflame watched Flaccus intently, ready to move if he showed any more inclination towards violence*

*Robin raises his voice.*
He ran off. Okay? Is that what you want to know, whomever-you-may-be? He ran off. That's what happened. We were fighting him. Or... or ten of him. And he just... went. Okay?
Now... why don't you re-assess your situation: four of us, one of you, we've told you what happened... so shall we stand down?

[OOC: Think about what Flaccus is about to say. A big, oafish brute like him saying what he is about to say is pretty funny, really.] "You don't have to be rude, human. I didn't come here looking for trouble, and I was just looking for directions. Knowing him, he probably went to an Inn....the one that is right next to this one...you humans are weird. Ah, oh well, sorry if I interrupted your human mating ritual, or whatever your race does...Good day." *With that, Flaccus reforms his sword in his hand, and walks towards the Wolf's Howl, tossing his Greatsword high into the air, and catching it, tossing it again, and catching it, all while whistling the tone from Kill Bill.* [OOC: Continued for Flaccus in "Addis' Room"]

*Phoenixflame watched Addis depart with a look of disbelief, then slowly lowered her swords as he got further away, then glanced around* "Well, that was rather surreal!" *Phoenixflame walked over to Robin and Julian, her swords sparkling and then vanishing, there's a faint glow on the back of both of her hands that quickly vanishes* "I want to thank you both for your help against those guys, believe me, it's appreciated!" *Phoenixflame winced slightly as her wound flared up, then subsided again. She looked over to where Meliss and Zeytan were, checking to see if they were OK. As she did so, a streak of silver and purple flew straight into her, staggering her backwards for a moment, before regaining her balance*

*Robin stares, first at the departing Flaccus, then at PF. He sheathes his crossbow, and then starts forwards for a half-second when he sees PF being hit by the silver/purple streak. He thinks better of it, though, and grins when he sees what it is.*

Julian smiled.
'You're very welcome my dear, although I can't take all of the credit. Kenji!' he shouted, beckoning to the window. 'You can come out now.'

Kenji made a great show of leaping up attentively, not wanting to become renowned for cowardice.
"Just..uh.. protecting our rear, chief!" He made a series of ineffectual movements which he hoped resembled a martial art and implied a great ability on his part. He strode confidently out towards Julian and stood beside him proudly.
He could feel Julian's eyes slowing creeping over his glasses.
"A sterling performance from yourself, good sir" he prattled, patting Julian on the shoulder. "I feel a spot of tiffin is in order. Do we have tiffin here?" Kenji looked around at blank faces.
"...Well, come apace chaps. And chapettes. The show, or at least the dangerous part, seems to be over." A flash of purple drew his eye over to PhoenixFlame. "Ah.. oh, are you alright? Crikey, uh, let's get you inside, shall we?" He started to walk towards her to kindly usher her back inside the tavern.

*Phoenixflame is busy hugging Morwena and looks up at Kenji's words*
"Thank you for your help as well! I'm OK, I've had worse injuries before now, but this one looks like it;s going to be a pain to heal. Was it you that cast the spell that stopped his mirror images? Would you gents mind giving my friend Zeytan a hand back in as well, he seems to be out cold still... Meliss, you'll join us won;t you? And you as well, sir?" the latter is directed to Robin
*Upon hearing Phoenixflame's comments, Morwena flies over to where Zeytan, Meliss and Malark are, and lands lightly next to them*

"One would be delighted to accompany you and also to administer any more healing spells that may be needed. I must say though, I'm...er I mean, one is surprised at the turn of events, the dragon-man just walking away like that. One hopes he doesn't turn violent again too soon".
*When Meliss sees the beautiful phoenix land near her, she smiles another big smile, then reaches out and strokes the bird's back*
"Hello Morwena, it's lovely to see you again".
*Red, who has been up on a nearby roof observing the recent fracas, flies down and lands next to Morwena. He bows to her regally, yet politely*
Red: "Greetings, Morwena" *he turns to Phoenixflame* And Miss Phoenixflame *bows to her too* So lovely to see you both again"

*Malark found himself standing between the other 2 familer. He looked blankly at Red then back at Morwena. He blew some Grey bubbles, he was confused why was the "pretty birdy" talking to the Dragon and why was the Dragon bowing to the "pretty Birdy". Malark scrtached his shell with one of his claws*
*He was getting a headake with both the fall caused by Flaccus and now all this thinking.*
*Meanwhile Zeytan was comeing round and he also had a bit of a throbbing in his head but for diffrent ressons.*
"Oh my head!! What hit me?"
*He said groggily as he slowly sat up.*
