[color=7bcdc8]"You've made your last mistake old man..."[/color] Caligate turned around to see a female figure creep into the bar. Shadows swirled around her, her magical prowess made clear to Caligate. He recognized the aura around her as magic preserved for evil and nefarious mages, as the power of it tended to corrupt the user. There were a small number of instances where a mage was able to not give into the magic fully, but the malicious and corrupting nature of the magic could never fully be avoided.

As Caligate study the new figure, he quickly deduced they were not of demon kind. Their powers were fierce indeed, but Caligate himself was a fierce mage. Were this person not to be so incredibly hostile, he might have tried to converse with them, share some spells, and call it a day. As he was laser focused on studying the newcomer, he ignored most of their talking. He was quickly snapped back into reality by the scream of the barkeep who quickly fell to the floor. 

[color=7bcdc8]"Not even worth killing, not at all..."[/color]

[color=f26522]"Shit..."[/color] Caligate muttered. Still inebriated, he was in no condition to fight, especially in such a close area. He could possible summon a demon, but the chance of friendly fire was very large. Before he could say anything, his newly acquainted barbarian friend charge the figure. [color=f26522]"Double shit..."[/color]

Caligate began to head for the door and yelled to the barbarian behind him. 
[color=f26522]"Push her outside! It's too dangerous in here!"[/color] Caligate was preparing to cast a spell for a flame demon as he ran, but his eyes stopped on a little girl, no older than 10. She was a poor little thing, and definitely had no place in a bar. She was clutching something in her hands, but she was clearly in danger. Caligate cursed under his breath and stopped his spell concentration, scooping up the little girl as he ran. The movement was not deft by the slightest due to his drunken state, but he managed to pick her up.

[color=f26522]"Don't worry,"[/color] Caligate huffed as he picked her up. [color=f26522]"That lady won't hurt you. Once we get outside,
 you have to run away as far as you can and find your parents!"[/color] 

Caligate was only about half way to the door. He hoped the mage wouldn't attack him too, as he was quite vulnerable due to holding the girl in his hands and holding ale in his gut.

[color=f26522][i]Hopefully the barbarian gives her enough trouble for now...[/i][/color]
