A soft, golden glow slowly enveloped Hardwick's body as the healing magic slowly worked to mend his shattered bones and beaten organs. The sticky crimson trickle of blood ceased to flow from his mouth, and despite his unconscious state those that looked on noticed a slight flutter of his eyelids and several weak, shallow breaths in an irregular rhythm.

But it was the light coming from Hardwick that caught most of their attention. Streams of light ran across his body in grotesque, non-Euclidian patterns, the colours oscillating wildy between hues scarcely describable by conventional language. The rivulets of light seemed drawn to two symbols which recurred across his body: The first, a small image of what appeared to be a tree branch. The second was a warped, five pointed star containing the image of a human eye.

The healing glow began to falter, and the onlookers began to hear whispers, dark secrets of long dead cities and ancient, forgotten Gods from beyond the boundaries of space and time. The knowledge was maddening, yet the temptation to give into the whispers and to drink deeply from the font of forbidden, Eldritch Knowledge of was an incredible force almost too hard to ignore.

With a blinding burst, both healer and horror had their lights extinguished. Although now much further from the brink of Death, it seemed that holy magic would only take Hardwick's recovery so far; the rest of the journey would require the assistance of less magical means.

Still mildly flabbergasted at the sight around him, Gwevyl pulled back from the bar as he heard a lovely voice come from beside him.

"Can I get you something to eat, or drink?"

Ah, drink. Most possibly his favorite word of all the words he knew! He turned to see the lovely maiden standing beside him, and smiled broadly, his cheeks still rosey from the festivities he had before arriving.

"Why, o' course I'll have me a drink, me fair lass! Gimme the sweetest brew your fine establishment's got on tap! 'N' here, for your trouble," the little man reached deep into his coinpurse and produced a few fresh coins, and placed them in the woman's dainty hands. He then turned a bit, witnessing a near miracle upon the floor as @Drai seemed to... glow from his hands, yet the rest of him was seemingly invelopped in a sort of darkness. The man on the floor looked as though he was getting better by the second! What an odd place to drink, he thought to himself, yet he knew that he already loved it!

Micheal was looking over to the man that had his hands glowing and was healing the wounded man,The fat man shrugged his shoulders and walking over to the bar once more since he was not needed even when he suggested to help."May i have another glass of water please" He said to the woman in a nonchalant sort of manner.

Lunaria plonked herself down at the bar. God, she was tired. After all that questioning that happened upstairs, plus that scarecrow invasion. Man, was this a weird day. She just wanted a drink and a nice cozy bed and get this all over with so once again she called out for help "Hey, Need some help over here?"

Snarf pokes his head over the counter, he had crawled into the secret room he had under the bar, looking out across the tavern he saw that things seemed to have calmed down a bit. Fully coming out of his "nap room" Snarf starts to do the job he was hired for so long ago.

@Vashonn@Eviledd1984@Snarfulblast@gohKamikaze

Ayeka ears twitch as she heard Hardwick is breathing again. "Hey Snarf, get to work. You got orders to fill before they get mad." She said as she picks up Hardwick, "thanks light user." She looks over to Michael as she feels like they left him out as he was trying to help in anyway possiable. "Sir in the purple suit, would you like to help me carry Hardwick to the medical ward?"

After a moment of calm within his realm, Knutik's green eyes examined the events before him as he observed the knight @Drai from before using light to heal a severely injured patron @gohKamikaze. He was hanging from a darkened corner of the tavern, attached by the torso like black spider webs, arms dangling without care. Hidden from sight with the exception of his eyes and a dim green outline of his toothy mouth, he perked up as he heard an odd noise coming from the table just below him. He used his black magic to see the life force hidden beneath it. He could see the red glow of a panicked heart, a small creature? @Song Book

Knutik switched his attention to the tavern door as a rather wide, burly but short looking man @Vashonn entered through the main door. He watched as the man waddled over to the bar and took a seat. A shuffle was heard beneath that table again and finally what looked like a small child with fur emerged from underneath, he soon noticed that it was a coat and not actually a child at all but a young looking lady. She seemed to take an interest towards that wolf-man @Dark Light as she began crawling in his direction. Knutik was only just beginning to get used to all these strange people so he didn't find it too odd when he saw a rather fancy looking fat man ask for a drink of water @Eviledd1984. That waitress @Alisdragon911 must find all the demands annoying, Knutik would've been infuriated by just the first one.

A couple of more people came over to help the injured man but the shade felt himself lost in a feeling of deja vuu. He was supposed to remember something he was sure of it. Something from earlier... what was it? The feeling was grating at him. He recalled that man from the balcony earlier, then the stairs. 'Stairs. Something upstairs?' he wasn't sure what was upstairs that felt so important, but he had to find out. He melted into the wall and disappeared.

[Second Floor Hallway]

He emerged out from the floor of the hallway he was in before with that 'dangerous lady' @ineffable. He returned to the spot where they had their discussion, just outside the foreboding door. He looked around spinning in a circle trying to see anything that might jog his memory. Just a hallway and a bunch of numbered doors. He picked a random door and found it to be locked. He phased through only to find a bed with a dresser and other fancy furniture. Just a simple room for patrons. He began searching through the drawers of the room, thinking perhaps there was something here.

@Song Book

The wolf paused what it was doing, tilted its nose to the roof and sniffed the air. It's ears folded back as its lips curled and it looked towards the girl. It's magestic eyes glistened as it stared right through her. A deep growl resonated in its throat and it lunged!
Not at the girl but at the straw torso that lay nearby. Viscously it bit, tore and scratched at the half of a straw man until there was nothing left but shreds.

Convinced it was over, the mighty wolf whimpered as it lay down. It's brilliant white fur had been stained with blood. A heavy patch near a back leg appeared to be his own. With a yawn it placed its jaw flat against the floor and looked up at the girl.

Drai nods to @alisdragon911. "Your welcome ma'am." He stands up and shakes his hands as he goes towards the bar. He looks around and see all the patrons and smiles. "excuse me can i please get a bottle of ale and the potatoes if you have any. He sits at the bar and rests himself from all the commotion.

@Alisdragon911

"Yeah sure i can do that.." Micheal said now walking over to where Hardwick was and lifting him up with his big arms,"Umm where is te medical ward?" He said rising a brow at her.He was a bit new here so he did not know the place as well so he would need some directions,And this Hardwick fellow was quite heavy so Micheal wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.

All Knutik managed to find in the drawers was robes, some towels, extra soap and an empty perfume bottle. A whistling huff of irritation escaped between his teeth and he tore up one of the towels to vent it, tossing the remains to the floor. He floated over top of the bed and let gravity drop him on top of it. He ran his hand over the sheets enjoying the feeling of softness. He never really got to enjoy the simple pleasures that humans did, which would explain why he now randomly has the sheets bundled up in his arms, hugging them with smiling eyes. He was acting like a giddy cat rolling around on the bed like a doofus cuddling with the blankets.

@Eviledd1984@Drai

"Here is a map of the tavern, if you follow this route you will get there soon." Ayeka says as she walks over to the bar as Snarf already gave Drai, Lunaria, and Gwevyl their drinks as she is glad to get some help. "What kind of poatotes do you want," she ask the light user as to her you can do to many things with She waits for a answer hoping she did not look to messy to do her job.

@Alisdragon911

"I'll take them baked please." Drai said with a smile and a wink. "thank you ma'am." He said as he looks around at the beautiful tavern just awe struck at the beaty of it. He takes a swing of his drink and smiles at the delicious flavor of the ale. "What kid of ale is this?"

"Thanks...i didn't know this place had such a thing.." Micheal said and was given said map of the tavern,Now walking away form the bar trying to find this so called medical ward if it even had one.Although it looked smaller outside perhaps inside their was this place to heal people,"Mhm your getting too heavy for me..i may need to let ya go soon" The fat man thought to himself finding this tavern quite confusing to find where he needs to go.

@Drai@Eviledd1984

"I will get that right out," Ayeka says as she walks into the kitchen and soon comes back with potatoes on a platter. She did not know what people like on their potatoes. Beside the baked potatoes are cups of butter, sour cream, cheese, and chives. "I hope you enjoy your meal, I have to go check on a another patron." She politely excuse herself as she walks through a door. She walks up behind the man in the purple suit and Hardwick, "have you been walking in circles?" She did not mean to scare him but happens more often than she thought.

@Alisdragon911

"Ah well.. i guess but i didn't know that this damn tavern was so big on the inside" Micheal said shaking his head and trying to look at the map while still holding Hardwick. "Well if you want to help me find this place before i drop this man then i would love that" The fat man said sighing and already breaking a sweat.

Drai says "Thank you" as he starts to eat his meal. the taste is exquisite. He devours it in a short time and smiles. and places 25 gold pieces on the bar as he finishes his ale. He gets up from the bar and starts walking around toncheck the place out. "I wonder whats upstairs and downstairs." He walks towards the stairs and go up them lookong around.

@Alisdragon911

@Eviledd1984

"I have not explore the whole tavern just," Ayeka says as she opens a door and sees a comfortable couch in a quiet room. "You can put him on the couch, even though we did not find the medical room. If you come the way we came you end up back to the bar." She says as she walks back to the bar and continues to walk up the stairs to her room. She shuts the door to the cold room to take a bath and change clothes before heading back to the bar.

@Alisdragon911

Micheal set down Hardwich on the couch and wiping the sweat off his brow looking down at him,"Tsk stupid bastard gettin hurt" He muttered under his breath once Ayeka left the room. Shaking his head and walking out of the room not really caring if the man he carried lived or not it did not matter to him. Making his way out and back where he was now in the bar once more taking a seat in the booth breathing heavily to himself.
