Lyle, was still nursing a hangover, had barely looked over toward the door as it nearly snapped in two. He took another long gulp from his lager, listening to the sound of the man becoming meat. Lyle was originally from Silent Rise, so he was used to the weak dominating the strong. It didn't phase him. The way the creature's claws sounded against the corpse, ground, and door, along with the snarls, he was fairly certain it was a wolf. And from the damage to the door, likely a dire wolf at that. Alone, those were child's play. In a pack, they were definitely one of the most dangerous creatures in the forest. 

He drained the rest of his lager, about to hollow for more as he watched a rather short elven woman move to the raised dais that was used as a stage. He remembered her from her performance the night before. It wasn't great, but pleasant enough. However, now hardly seemed the time. The sounds of the wolf had abated, but he could still just make out its heavy breathing. He gripped his wooden stein tight, pulling his arm back to chuck it at the idiot musician, she was going to get them all killed.

Susie had seen Lyle's temper rising, and the moment his hand came up, she gripped his wrist with iron, the half-Orc part of her making her stronger than the normal human.

There were only six people in the tavern area. Susie, Lyle, Alya, a couple of travelers from Azure Strand, and a sleeping dwarf. The travelers were chattering nervously in the corner, clearly shaken. Susie had noticed that she'd calmed down since the bard had started her song. 

Lyle heard the shouts of Ebon Knights coming to the door, and what sounded like the wolf scampering off for the time being. The door was forced open, and two knights collapsed in, bloodied, sweaty, and for the most part whole. The human quickly slammed the door shut, and the white elf stumbled into a chair. They said nothing, resting, their faces absolutely stricken with panic and fear.
