@all: We have a slight time problem, now. Xandax chose to confront the band (which is perfectly alright, I even suggested it), but the band MUST leave before Magus arrives (I have my reasons). So Magus will not arrive until the band leaves. I’ll edit as necessary once we get through the matter.
@Aegis: Cool. Good luck with the editing, though.
BTW, I agree with Xandax. You need some sort of separation between individual posts. You know, like the 5 stars I use to divide my posts whenever I change perspective/location? Otherwise it doesn’t really make sense. Some credits might be nice, if no one minds their screenname being put down. (If that’s completely naive and foolish, please tell me...I’m new to this Internet security thing)
@craig: Your posts are kind of hard to understand. Is English a second language for you? I’m assuming “the man over there” you’re talking about is Magus. If that’s the case, remember that Magus will not appear until the adventuring band leaves.
@Xandax: Do I have a plan? Of course I do...sort of
The adventuring band is not plot critical, if that’s what you mean. Just giving Virdel the hard time he deserves for foolishly letting his identity slip. Well, most of the people in it are not plot critical...

The party stops and turns around. The dwarf sizes up the armor-clad warrior.
“What ye be wanting, mommy’s boy? Speak quickly, or me axe be making a new home in yer head, it will,” the dwarf yells, itching the haft of his red-glowing axe. The others laugh derisively, though the mage remains silent. The assassin begins to creep around to Xandax’s side, unbeknownst to him or Faisal.

The sun peeks over the horizon in Athkatla as a new day begins. As Virdel walks along the dark alleyways, he suddenly sees a flash from a nearby building. Battle cries and an inhuman shriek reach his ears. Curious, he slips over and peeks through a broken window. Inside the darkened building, a dozen hooded figures charge a hideous pit fiend. The thieves move quickly and efficiently, but they look to be no match for the frenzied demon. Before his eyes a thief is gutted on its razor sharp claws. A flick of its wrist sends the corpse crashing through a window right next to Virdel.

@Aegis: You can finish up the battle if you want. No surprises here...at least for the battle itself. I’ll handle the aftermath.
@Xandax: Since this post is reasonably short, I don’t mind posting again today. I’ll check back periodically to see what’s going on. I took a nap so I should be up for a while more.
