Then one of the brawlers pulled a knife.
Oh for the love of-
Leo knew if he didn't act fast, the man would kill someone. He decided to bring the drunks attention his way.
"Hey you! Yeah, you with the knife! Were you injured, or were you born with that face?”
The man with the knife turned to face Leo. He was mad, but that was what Leo wanted. The man charged, wielding his knife clumsily. Leo laughed slightly as he whacked the mans wrist with his staff, causing the knife to drop onto the floor harmlessly. He finished up the attack by whacking the man in the shin. The man fell to the floor with a resounding crash.

Instinct took control of Mahna and his senses. He quickly pulled M'aya behind him, and drew his Halberd from his back. He watched the insuing battle fully aware, careful to note the 2 drunks still left on the floor close to them. A few wrestling men came within range of Mahna, and he quickly dispatched their conscious thought with the flat side of his blade.
Out of all the men in the bar, he only noted 2 of them. One being a younger man with a crimson red staff with bronze tips on either end, and the other being a more experienced man, taller and having lighter hair. He sensed no threat from either of them, and continued to guard M'aya from the random acts of violence carried out by the rest of the bar drunks. "What are you craving?" He called out over the sounds of drunken warfare and slurred insults, once again knocking a bearded man unconscious.

Dorothy looked around the baths, checking to make sure no one was around. She slide down lower into the water and spread her wings. The water rushed ovr them. Ahhh so good, she thought as she slid completely uner the water.

Mahna waited for M'ayas answer, and when he received none he thought her to be frozen in shock and threw a glance over his shoulder to make sure that she was alright. The ruckus slowly died down, and a few moments later a constable type figure made his way into the establishment, followed by 2 younger men, gazing around with an obvious expressions of disgust, as well as amusement. "This is the third time we've been here this week madam!! We're coming close to shutting....." His speech stopped as his eyes made contact with Mahna's figure. At first he looked frightened, which was immediately replaced with anger.
"What abomination are you creature!! Cast down your weapon and surrender!! He cried as he and his men drew their swords, readying themselves for combat.
An amused expression crossed Mahna's face, and he held his weapon out in front of him. "Some of you humans confound me. Your ignorance is shameful. If you wish to capture me, then come and try." He said slowly, holding the front part of his weapon down, so the tip of his Halberd touched the floor. He looked from side to side slowly, awaiting for someone to make the first move.

And so Ishod wandered the second floor until he finally heard the tavern settle.
He sighed, thinking it to be over, and maybe he'd even stay here tonight (he got a glimpse of a rom, it wasn't bad, a hella lot better than the ship floor). He got up and headed down the stairs, looking out into the tavern with a searching eye, looking for any more hostile action.
The figure closest to him had his sword drawn, and those gaurds at the door were prepared to fight as well.
Ishod smirked, he couldn't believe an oppurtunjity for adventure would turn up so fast.
He took a step back and put his hand to the stairwell's wall, drawing an irregular circle of blood with his thumb and forefinger (which were both, coincidentally cut). With a small effort he drew his hand back and with him his trusty scythe, his weapon of choice since the plant monsters in the forests.
He stepped foward and talked to the figure, finding him just a little out of place in the whole atmosphere.
"Ah, my friend, I see you're having a bit of trouble with the gaurds today as well," Ishod nodded his head to the lady, "I suppose she's your charge, and I don't know why completely," though he did, "but I believe I'm going to help you."
And with that he let his backpack to the floor and readied his scythe.
The gaurds became aware of another challenger.

Mahna nodded at his newfound ally, raising his blade parallel to the ground and pointing it threateningly at the Constable. The men looked from side to side, first at the Dragon like creature, and second to the man holding the scythe.
"We'll get you creature!! Remember my words!! We will get you!!" He cried as he hurriedly made his way out of the building. His two henchmen looked around awkwardly before their commanders cowardly actions registered in their mind, and they too fled clumsily from the building. A few drunken cheers echoes throughout the interior, but most of the drunks were still left unconscious and beaten on the floor.
"Thank you friend." Mahna said to the scythed figure, bringing his Halberd upright. He turned, his eyes searching the room for M'ayas small figure. "What made you help us?" He called over his shoulder, still unable to find M'aya.

Ishod shrugged and tried his best to explain it, wanting to expell his scythe (it took up too much room) before it made everyone uncomfortable, "The sense of adventure was calling, and from the looks of it, something big." He said, stepping back a little so he was at the stairwell again, which he put his scythe behind and muttered, "begone!" and so it was.
"Though I have to ask," Ishod said, stepping foward again, "the gaurds only found trouble with me because I caused a bit of ruckus down at the docks, it seems you have bigger crimes to pay if you're actually being recognised..." he stopped and thought, then IShod found the humor in that he was helping what seemed to be a well-known criminal in these parts, "you know, I've never helped a criminal before, innocent or otherwise, and if I had, then I didn't know about it."

Dorothy rised back up from the water and looked around. The coast was clear. She stood up and wrapped the towel back around her and headed to her room.
She took her time changing, wanting to avoid as much of the fighting scene as she could. She slid on her barmaid outfit and attached her dagger sleaths to her legs. The gold daggers shimmered as she slid them in. She could never be too careful. She sighed and let her skirt slid over the sleaths. Even with the shortness they were hid well enough. She grabbed her apron and reluctantly headed to the front.

Mahna's large stature effectively hid May'a from the constable and Ishod, when he went back up the stairs she took the opportunity to look for her bag, it had been tossed when the two drunks capsized the table. Looking around the tavern was an odd sight, men were picking up tables and resetting their chairs, some placing their unconscious friends in them; by some miracle none of the furniture had been broken except the initial table and a chair, but with a little magic from the bartenders knew they snapped back together, looking as though nothing had happened, the waitresses ran around picking up mugs and glasses, and grabbing any money that had fallen during the brawl, catching new orders as they passed. May'a returned to Mahna's side, no longer hiding behind him, "This is an odd place" she commented.

Finally finding his companion, Mahna's nerves calmed again. "It is a rather odd place. These humans are different from the ones I encounted in Lucion." He said gently, turning towards their other ally as his sythe disappeared.
"I am no criminal. Merely a victim of prejudice thoughts. That constable thought me to be an abomination, clearly ignorant of the Teroan species. My name is Mahna, it is a pleasure to meet you." He said, following it with a short bow. A maid entering from the back quickly caught his eye, the sudden glimse of a metal glimmer catching his attention from the tip of something underneathe her skirt. "An assassin possibly?" He though carefully, making sure to note the maids location and Ma'yas.

Dorothy walked behind the counter."You can go now. I'll go ahead and start early,"Dorothy said to the other barmaid. The barmaid looked at her and then out to the fight,"You sure?" Dorothy nodded,"Go ahead. I can handle the fights better anyways." The barmaid laughed,"Yeah I remember last time." She waved goodbye and ran off to the back. Dorothy closed her eyes and waited for the fight to end or someone to throw something at her. There always ends up to be some kind of fight here. For once I would like to just serve drinks, Dorothy thought to herself.

"I'm Ishod, and the pleasure is all mine," he said returning the bow. He noticed the hurried look at the barmaid, so Ishod couldn't help but take a look.
He raised an eyebrow, but that was it, "So, Mahna, the events of today have me a little tired, and I'm afraid I'll need a little nap before I go challenging anymore officials in bars or in the streets..." he looked over to the publican, making eye contact and thereby letting the man know that he would be going over there shortly, "if you need me, I won't be far, but I suggest you and your...ward there get some rest as well, hellish be the fight in which you're sleeing."
With that, I shod moved to the publican, getting a room for three hours with a view of the back alley.
He headed up and promptly fell asleep, so much better than the hard floor of the ship.

Dorothy opened her eyes for a moment and noticed the fight was clearing up. She turned to the drinks and made sure everything was at least halfway full. She cleaned the few glasses that were dirty and let her eyes glance across the room.

"Aye" May'a started, pausing to search her bag "Drat, the man who caught me took all my coin, I've nothing else to pay for the night." She kept looking through the bag, hoping to prove herself wrong. "Maybe they will allow me to pay with service." She dropped the bag back to her side and sighed.

Bronwyn and Salyf stumbled in the back door, and Bronwyn motioned to the bar. The pair of them moved to the bar, where she leaned on the counter.
"Hey, Dorothy, I could use some help over here." She said, shaking away the darkness at the edge of her vision for the second time. The bruises on her throat were turning a dark purple color, barely hidden by her bronze hair, and blood oozed out from under her fingerless gloves from the smashing of the compass.
