'Ah! In that case, there's a complete and utter swine outside threatening one of your company with all manner of magical nastiness. He could do with a ventilation or two, and a boot up the arse for good measure!'I'm on it. *He hurries to the door.* [OOC: Continued in Draconian at the Door.]

Julian: 'Ah! In that case, there's a complete and utter swine outside threatening one of your company with all manner of magical nastiness. He could do with a ventilation or two, and a boot up the arse for good measure!'
Lanesra: *Looking puzzled* Robin was never part of their company. He arrived quite separately, and has been drinking so. But clearly he is willing to help anyway. *Calling after Robin* Do be careful!
Slevela: And whoever is out there burning up the blue skies, for Gundrada's sake don't invite them in!
*The piper has reverted to his customary musical instrument, and is playing 'Kiss From A Rose'.*

*Zeytan nods in agreement to Callimpsest.*
"Indeed Callimpsest. But as they say even rageing volcanos can apper calm and untreatning, untill something triggers an eruption."
*Looks at Robin as he heads out.*
"I think perhaps we should lend a hand. I meen she is one of our little group and from the looks of things shes in a fight for her life."
*Malark blows Yellow bubbles and points to the door.*
*Smiles* "Well looks like Malark is up for a bit of a scrap if it comes to that."

"I think perhaps we should lend a hand. I meen she is one of our little group and from the looks of things shes in a fight for her life."
More likely, she is in a fight for the lives of others, else she would surely be seeking a peaceful resolution to whatever hostile predicament has engulfed her. I think we too should avoid involving ourselves, especially violently, until such time as PhoenixFlame issues a cry for help in our direction. She would not want others endangering themselves needlessly on her behalf, which is perhaps why Morwena is not with her. *To Robin* So do indeed be cautious.

[OOC: ((OOC: Doh, should have made it clear he was directing this to Callimpsest and his lot. Shall I edit?)) I don't think you need to unless you particularly want to. Robin would have known that he was in a party of one, but being a righteous fellow, has chosen to respond to Julian's comment anyway. And Lanesra's remark is an IC misunderstanding of Robin's response. But if you want to edit your post, please do, and the rest of us will modify ours accordingly.]

[OOC: Addis' Flamestrike spell takes effect...] *Pillars of flame are hitting the outer walls of the tavern. Those inside cannot see this (with the probable exception of Julian and Robin, since they've been looking out). But they do see the walls around them glowing like embers in a fireplace. The temperature in the Crazed Heifer rises a little, but other than that, there is no effect.* What in blazes is transpiring out there? *Callimpsest pauses, then chuckles to himself.* No pun intended.

*Slevela looks across at Robin, who appears to be hesitating in the doorway. She calls over to him.*
Slevela: Sir, in spite of all the heat out there, I've never been more literal when I say: get indoors, you'll catch your death out there!
Lanesra: If a well-placed arrow really would help, maybe up there *she points to the roof hole and the top of the ladder* would be a better place to fire it from. *To Julian* How are you going with the repairs, anyway?

'Getting there' he shouts down. 'It's about halfway done.'
'There's an idea' suggested Kenji to Robin. 'You nip up there, you've got an ideal firing spot!'
'I must admit, you'll have a pretty good view. Fancy giving it a go old boy?' called down Julian.

Certainly!
*Unsheathing his crossbow, which is getting a workout, Robin hurries over to the ladder.*

*Lanesra and the other ladder-holders loosen their huddle, to allow Julian down and Robin up.*

*Robin waits for Julian to dismount, then practically sprints up the ladder, his head and shoulders reaching the hole. Looking down, he sees the same scene he'd seen before, but from a different angle. From above, however, he feels a little safer.*
Okay... now what do I do?
*Robin nocks an arrow into his crossbow.*
[[OOC: I'd appreciate a PM from the participants in the battle to discuss this with me!]]

[OOC: Since Addis currently has 9 'mirror images' hanging around, I think it would be quite fun to have some arrows being fired into the mix! It also gives Addis some RPing to do while we wait for PhoenixFlame to post again regarding the main battle (I'm guessing she's offline for the festive period, but no post to confirm that). If Robin does decide to engage with the fight, I'd suggest having him in both this topic and 'Draconian at the Door': It might get confusing, but it means that characters in both threads can interact with him. The rest you can discuss via PM, as you said. ]

Julian shimmys down the ladder double time and takes up a position at one of the Heifer's front window.
'Start firing and don't stop until that mirroring maniac resembles a pincushion!' suggested Jules none too subtly. 'If you want, we can arrange for a small distraction to give you a better shot...'
'Jules. We talked about this. You said you were going to cut down on the badly thought out heroics,' sighed Kenji.
'I say a lot of things. Now get over here.'
