[IC] The Room

[Taeria]

*Elmyra waves softly at Iris and she smiles curtly she then nods in acknowledgement to Horus but politely declines*

Elmyra: I am alright, thank you. My name is Elmyra.

*She smiles calmly and and then looks at Jillian*

Elmyra: No worries, I do not feel obligated. It is a productive way for me to pass my time. Will be convenient for all the members here. Do you happen to be familiar with the two men at the door?

*Elmyra gestures in their general direction*

[Overlord Thraka]

*Horus nods politely to Jillian*

*Merg frowns and slowly releases her hold on the dagger's hilt*
Merg: Depends. Who did this person murder?
*She doesn't seem to mind the rain plinking off her metal armor as she looks at the room. Studying it as best she can*

[Vulkan 707]

*Jillian nods in understanding.*
Jillian: Well, I appreciate your kindness Elmyra.
*She looks towards the door, and her smile disintegrates as she is just able to pick out the Men in yellow coats speaking to Merg.*
*With a eerie calm, she steps out of their line of sight, and pulls Elmyra with her.*
Jillian: Elmyra.. I cry pardon for touching you like that, but stay down, and stay here.. those men are evil.
*She looks over at Horus, unhappy that Elmyra has to take shelter near him.*
Jillian: Taheen... gather the others, and take shelter in here... I will deal with them.

---
*Floyd nods.*
Floyd: The girl in question was part of... a monarchy... they ruled over our lands for years, until we resisted, and destroyed their capital. Now we are the ones to hunt down the last of them, and bring them to justice.
*Other two Yellow men nod their heads.*
Floyd: We know she has slain many of my brethren, and has been on the run ever sense the battle.

[Overlord Thraka]

*Mergoux nods approvingly*
Mergoux: Alright, I'm always willing to finish off the last of a oppressive bunch of Royal fethwits.
*She draws her massive, ornate two-handed sword and looks at Floyd*
Mergoux: Lead on.
*She goes with them and get's NPC'd as needed*

[Taeria]

*Elmyra gathers Hanna, the puppy, and Iris and places them with Horus*

Elmyra: Unfortunately, it is against my moral code to allow you to go on your own. I am familiar with defensive magic. I will be accompanying you.

*Elmyra waits for no further objection and she walks toward Merg and the men casually. She just stares at them and stands there eerily*

[Vulkan 707]

*Jillian eyes widen, and she quickly follows after Elmyra.*
Jillian: Elmyra... please... you do not do this, if anyone Else were to come to harm on my behalf..
*She looks at mixture of worried, and angry.*
Jillian: They are armed with firearms, do you know what those are?

---
*Floyd grins, and starts walking towards the room. He is flanked by his Low men in yellow cloaks.*
Floyd: Good you will be rewarded for your service...
*He leaves out the part, that he technically works for a monarchy.*
*The low men brandish their weapons, and seem unphased by the rain or Elmyra's hard stare.*

[LemonZest1337]

*Hanna looks worried as she's taken into the kitchen*

----

*The pup eats a large amount of the flapjack and seems unfazed by the current situation*

[Doc Doctor]

There's a large man in the kitchen, wearing a white apron and chef's hat. He turns to the dog and bends are the knees, smiling warmly.

"Mmmm... I love me some dog..."

[LemonZest1337]

*Dog looks up at the large man and snorts*

*She walks up to the man and lays down on his feet, looking for pets*

[2BlackJack1]

*Lecter glances out at the men before hiding from their view as well*
Lecter: I could help, if you would like. I may be a Devil Hunter, but my blades work well on humans as well.

[Vulkan 707]

*Jillian reddens with embarrassment, and sighs.*
Jillian: I thankee, Lecter.. But I do no wish for people to be harmed on my behalf... Just be careful these men have firearms, and I really don't want you two to get hurt on my behalf.
*She twirls her magnum expertly, and keeps walking towards the door with Elmyra.*

[Overlord Thraka]

*Mergoux draws her crossbow and waits for Floyd's signal to attack*
Mergoux: Let's just get this over with and discuss rewards later.
*She goes to load her crossbow then freezes when she sees Elmyra. She thinks to herself "A Meadow Elf? What is she doing here?!"*
*She seems divided but does decide to load her heavy crossbow*

*Iris looks worried when she's dragged into the kitchen*
Iris: What? What's going on?!
*Horus frowns and looks concerned*
Horus: I'm not sure... Iris stay here. I'm going to go look
*He leaves the kitchen and goes to peer out a window*

[LemonZest1337]

*Hanna stays curled up next to Iris*

*She is shaking a little*

----

*Dog is walking around in circles slowly*

[Taeria]

*Elmyra stops the two men in their tracks as she inflicts temporary paralysis on them*

Elymra: Why are you here, gentlemen?

*She frees their tongues and mouths so that they can respond accordingly *

[Vulkan 707]

*The two low men do get paralyzed, but Floyd seems more resistant to Elmyra's magic.*
Floyd: We've come for the girl, do not try to stop us..
*He tilts his head, and grins to Jillian.*
Floyd: Hail! Gunslinger...

*Jillian looks pissed, and in a flash dispatches the two low men beside Floyd with her Mangum.*
*She shoots Merg in the arm not really knowing if she is evil or not.*
*When she shoots Floyd, a crack of ozone sounds out, and a energy shield around Floyd crackles.*
*Floyd is vastly slower then Jillian, but manages to get a shot off at Jillian's lower abdomen.*
*She howls with pain, as a red beam clearly shoots through her.*

[Taeria]

*Elmyra sees the shots fired and she taks quick action. She swifly scoops up Jillian and with speed she brings her to the kitchen*

Elmyra: They are after you?

*She doesn't wait for an answer and she goes back outside*

Elmyra: Stop this violence. If you are so desperate to fight, take it outside in the garden. Not in this home.

*Elmyra stands with some form of motherly authority. She begins to shoo them out and lead them to the door without a sign of fear at all.*

[Vulkan 707]

Jillian: Yes they do.. they are evil..
*Jillian grits her teeth, and hold her side as blood starts to pool around her.*
Jillian: They.. won't just leave.. don't be foolish
*She watches Elymra walk off, and tries to follow but is in too much pain.*

*Floyd does not get shooed away, instead he pushes past Elymra, heading to where Jillian is.*
Floyd: Sorry princess, I have a job to do, but I'll be sure to leave after it's done.
*He pulls back the slide on his rifle, as he approaches Jillian.*

[Taeria]

*Elmyra looks stoic to being rudely pushed.*

Elmyra: oh my..

*She debates on casting Pyroblast but knows how awful the damage would be*

*The Elf decides to paralyze them once more. This time, using more force of her power*

Elmyra: Stay away from her.

[Vulkan 707]

*Floyd growls at being held, and manages to speak.*
Floyd: Stay out of this elf... this isn't any of your fucking business... Understand?
*His eyes burn with hate as he stares at the limp form of Jillian.*

*Jillian keeps holding her side, and has her magnum out in the other hand.*
*Grits her teeth as she tries to get a line of sight on Floyd, but from her position can only see a fraction of him.*

[Overlord Thraka]

*Iris and Horus stare for a moment as a wounded Jillian is brought into the kitchen before going into action*
*Horus wads some paper towels and tries to stem the bleeding*
Horus: I'm here for 20 minutes and things to go hell... What happened to you?!
*He notices Floyd and looks at Iris and Hanna*
Horus: You two! Out! Now!
*Iris lifts Hanna up and scampers off as Horus improvises.*
*He lays Jillian down on the floor and flips the table to maybe provide cover from the rifle*
*He rummages quickly through the cutlery draws and comes up with a large butcher's cleaver and knife which look tiny is his giant hands*
*He then crouches behind the table, waiting for a chance to strike*
Horus: What have you gotten yourself into?!

*Mergoux howls in pain as she's shot. She drops her crossbow and spends a few minutes binding the wound before unsheathing a longsword from her right hip and running towards the room.*
