>>6105462Gently placing you on the floor, the amazon draws her blade and strikes an unseen pose with a clank of her armor! “Sounds like a job for <span class="mu-b">THE LAMPLIGHTERS!</span> Point me attem!”
Hold on, you interrupt as TT puts her instrument away,there’s a few bags of <span class="mu-s">SALT</span> over there she can use t-
“Good idea, Rook! Let’s begin the As<span class="mu-s">SALT</span>! Haha!”
Sheathing her sword in favor of the salt, Volka bursts through the wall with sacks in hand and immediately clobbers an unlucky assassin that happened to be laying an ambush! As they crumble to the ground with a weak groan, some of the salt flies onto the flames enveloping the door and extinguishes them with a muted ‘hiss’!
“Can’t fault her enthusiasm!” Remarks TT as you hear her slip a knife from an unseen sheath. “After you, hero~”
Gee, <span class="mu-i">thanks</span>. Hands still burning with the energy you had earlier, you give Volka some space and instead rush over to the downed Assassin! Okay, you begin in the most threatening voice you can muster after inhaling so much smoke, what’s the deal, huh!? Why did he try to grab you!?
The assassin merely croaks out a weak chuckle as you feel his body heat up! H-hey, you stammer, don’t get <span class="mu-i">too</span> excited-
To your horror (and relief), the would-be abductor bursts into flames that nearly singe your fingers off! Taken off-guard by the sudden ferocity of the blaze, you nearly trip over TT as the two of you listen in horror!
“Wh-what happened!?” She sputters as she hides behind you, “Did he drop another potion!?”
You’re not so sure… daring to poke at the flames, your eyes widen as you feel nothing but ash where the assassin’s body was lying! What in the…
Before you can ponder any further, the sound of a struggle in the tavern brings you back to the present! Judging by the manic laughter and the crashing glassware you get the feeling Volka’s doing fine, but the sound of crackling flames and crunching wood all over the Inn don’t fill you with confidence…
“Welp, go do your hero thing, Ant!” Chirps TT as you hear her stuff a few plates into her bag, “I’ll be taking notes <span class="mu-i">outside</span>-
No she won’t, you retort as you grab the pint-sized pilferer by the scruff of her fuzzy neck, she’s helping you!
“D-do what!?”
Good question!
