[OOC: Cel, prayers have been answered. Deal - don't worry. Nobody can kill your character unless they discuss it with you before making any type of fatal move. Haven't you read the rules?]

(OOC YES I was just makeing sure that Cel knew I was not ready for Deal to Expier just yet.) [OOC: don't worry, i've roleplayed long enough to not PK without warning. However, torturing someone who is killing many of the species Cel is meant to protect is well within her power and quite honestly what she would do given her situation. I'm planning on taking the poison out of your body regardless, but you obviously don't know that in character or you won't help me...]

*my eyes open wide as I hear a voice in my head*
Protect my children like you have sworn. I grant you the power of DELUGE, she-who-wants-to-be-among-us
*raising my hands and turning towards the building, temporarily forgetting about Deal and turning away from him, I call out loud and clear*
SPELLCASTING:
D .. E .. L .. U .. G .. E
*the skies darken suddenly, black clouds appearing from a small centrepoint and spiralling out and the air is filled with the smell of thunder. after what seems like an eternity, but is just a few seconds, the rain falls, huge droplets throwing themselves at the fire like an army*

*Deal is gobsmacked"
"WHAT THE ?"
*The fire is soon extinguished*
" DO YOU RELISE WHAT YOU HAVE JUST DONE? YOU HAVE JUST ROBBED ME OF A CHANCE TO MAKE SOME MONEY."
*Deal's right hand move slowly into posision clutching the powder he removed from a pouch on his belt earlier.*

*holds the bucket over her head*
Yee! This is odd magic - air powers in a drow descendant? How so?
*scuttles under the canopy of a nearby shop, and nods at snowwie to join her as her tail is soaked wet*

*In a quiet corner of the flaming inferno that is now the Heifer an old man sits in a bar stool with a toothy grin, he seems almost oblivious to the chaos that surrounds him, only when smoke begins to pour into his lungs does he slowly get up, cover his mouth and run through the back door.* Rescuer: Are you alright Edgar? Edgar: I'm fine, but I lost my purse in that fire and *sniffs* it had my savings in and a photo of Ethel. Rescuer: Oh no, I'm so sorry. Here take 10 gold pieces, it's all I have to spare but it should buy you food. *Edgar thanks the Rescuer and walks off towards his home, he slips the 10 g.p into his purse which was never lost and lets out a wheezy laugh.*

*turns to Deal, smiling*
You have lost the profit possibly, but you shall keep your life. Think of it as Ariadne's blessing.
*reaches into an inside pocket and pulls out a small vial. hands it to an open-mouthed Deal who is mid-rant*
I suggest you annoint your wound with this instantly. The poison mightn't be as deadly as my furious rantings suggest but you really don't want to know where my blade has been.
*looks away, talking to myself*
Goddess, you are listening to me. I am sorry if I ever, ever doubted it. I love you.
*pulls the cloak hood back up and regaining my composure, i start heading off, leaving Deal mid-rant and with more than a slight spring in my step*

"AND MARK MY WORDS YOU DON'T CROSS EDWARD DEAL AND WALK AWAY."
"WHY DON'T YOU TURN AND FINISH THE JOB ?"

*sees activity by the back door of the pub and nudges Snowwie* What's going on there? *One figure in the smoke helps another, and passes them what looks like money before leaving quietly* Despicable! Deal must be posing as an old human and diddling people of their money, now! But...Deal's over there so it can't be him...oh never mind. At least the fire is out. Now we've got to see what damage can be repaired. [ModNote: Kully is next seen in A Sinister Meeting. Snowwie is next seen at The Herb Stall.]

*i smile to myself as the rantings of a proud man who has been shown up just fall upon deaf ears.*
*quietly to herself*
The fire is out, the spiderkind are saved and my goddess has listened to me in ways I could never dream of. Why should i stay and fight a man i couldn't care less about?
*leaves the scene for now*
*a small tawny spider scuttles away from the drenched wreckage that was the building*

*Edgar, surprised by the sudden end to the blaze turns back and heads back to the Heifer, he sees a barmaid crushed under some rubble and lifts up a beam, he helps her up and uses a bit of his ragged shirt to make a sling around her arm. Unseen by anyone else he cuts her purse as he is tying up the sling and allows the coins within to empty into his hand before recieving a thankful kiss from the barmaid and pocketing the money as she walks off*

*Deal is fuurious at being ignored*
"RIGHT THEN"
"YOU WANT TO PLAY IT THAT WAY? FINE."
*Deal runs forward towards Cel. He passes her and as he dose he hurls the powder into her face*
<There is the smell of burning>

*Rob and Lordbob are running back to the Heifer to see what they can do to help when they arrive to see the fire out and several strange people gathered around the charred pub.* Rob: What happened here? Lordbob: *examining the ring* The arsonist got away but we retrieved the ring from her.
