Upon finishing his surgery of himself, Elric placed the needle back on the table. He extended his right arm out, stretching it out forwards, for a brief moment. Then he stretched it a little behind his back, before quickly returning his arm in front of him. Glancing over his handiwork, he could confirm the sewing secured the wound of his forearm. Elric smiled, as he moved towards the gaping hole, which used to be part of his lodging, and upon his most recent breath, while heading over, he noticed a sharp pain from within the breast. It appeared the vigor of battle left him, and now he had another matter to deal with. [i]Treating this one will be a tad difficult by myself, Tirarian's delivery should have one of those elixirs which would help my my current situation.[/i] Elric thought to himself.

Elric stood outside his lodgings, where he glanced down at the corpse of his assailant and the ferocious pet. He couldn't help but to glare at the creature for a minute or two. [i]Well, let's see if this Gnoll has anything which could be of use in repairing the damages he did.[/i] he thought to himself. With a flick of his right hand, he reached down onto the Gnoll searching. He crouched and bent towards the Gnoll as he used his left hand as well, going over the body. As soon as he bent and crouch the sharp pain he felt from earlier exponentially grew worse, as if Elric was being tortured by daemons in the Nine Hells. He quickly returned upright after a brief moment of crouched searching, where he acquired any interesting possessions on the Gnoll's body. He held them in his hands, as he checked them walking back towards the fireplace. 

There was a wooden small chest, off to the left and near the corridor to other rooms. He opened it and moved one of the quilts stored within and placed the interesting items he had recovered from the Gnoll inside. Gently dabbing the quilt down he placed it on top of the items. [i]I will need to secure a better look of those in due time.[/i] he thought to himself. He again went out through the hole that once held his door.

He turned around as he began observing his lodgings as he felt a tap on his shoulder. Elric turned around to face the person who gave him that tap. "Hello Guardsman Ferris." Ferris gave a simple nod towards Elric, "Barber." Ferris was dressed in chain mail, on his back he had metal buckler with a sharp point in the middle. On the left side of his belt he had a simple hand-axe, which appeared to be recently sharpened up. On the left side he had a bull horn, the top with a leather cover strewn onto the horn with twine. Ferris glanced down at the Gnoll and Hyena corpses rather incredulously. "Well fortune smiles..." 

Elric chuckled, before grimacing a bit from the pain the laughter brought, "Yes, you can say that." Ferris glanced at Elric's torn tunic and the freshly sown up arm, and noting his unusual grimace after laughing, "So you dealt with these abominations?" Elric nodded and raised up his left index finger. "Well not alone. But I did take the Gnoll." Ferris chortled heartily, as he clapped. "Well then, I would have never guessed. I should have known, your brother Charles did compliment... Well mostly your ability to take a punch, but a little on fighting." Elric waved his left hand, from side to side, stretching the palm out. "Oh no I can't say I'm that good of a fi-." Elric paused for a moment as he brought his hand back down to his side.

"Ferris, what brings you here?" He inquired. Ferris straightened up as he pointed his index finger at the corpses. "There was a disturbance at the Jolly Hippogriff, a Gnoll and Hyena killed one man, horribly wounded Pucksy." Elric's pupils widened, "Is he alright!? I'll gather my stu-" Ferris interrupted, "He was taken to the priesthood. Then there was also one nobleman who was killed, we are still confirming the identity of the deceased. We heard of reports that the hyena well... You know that part. However, where there is one Gnoll, there is sure to be another." Ferris spat on the corpse of the Gnoll, "Vicious pack monsters. The Guard is on alert for any more Gnolls who may be in the area."

Elric gave a nod, "Well hopefully that was it." Ferris gave another nod, "Indeed. Barber, I must continue my patrol. However you may wish to go to the Jolly Hippogriff, if only to see the damages, and there may be some parties there who could use your 'charming wit.', and quite possibly other injured parties I might not be aware of. I wish you the best." Ferris gave another nod as he headed away and continued his patrol through the marketplace.

Elric again was glancing at the gaping hole in his house. [i]Well this will take a bit of time to repair[/i] he thought to himself. He tapped his chin with his left index finger, as he continued analyzing the hole. Sighing he returned his attention to the fallen Gnoll and Hyena, before shaking his head. Again he stared at the damages done to his place.
