Ragnap put a hand on his chin when the Doctor Pox boldly made his point about the merchant not being able to pay off debts from the grave. There were a few shocked ramblings from the crowd as they witnessed a Doctor of all people address Ragnap and his mercs.
You know what Doc you're right, she cant pay anything while dead....but she also cant seem to pay when she's alive, so might as well at least get a good clear message out of her. Just incase anyone else thinks they can be tight with the Count.With that sentence the Dark Elf grabbed the beaten merchant by her hair and dragged a large knife across her neck, slitting her throat and watching her gurgle and grasp in in her last 2 seconds of life. It was as normal to him as sealing a letter, there was no strong emotion on his face. A few whimpers and gasps from the crowd but no screams, they were all to used to these sights.
But Qwendar was not used to this, and he had no intent of being quiet now, he ran towards the trio drawing his shortbow, getting ready to string an arrow.
NOOOO you sick FUCK! She did nothing wrong! I'll skewer everyone of--Qwendar's battle cry was cut short by a wet smashing sound, one of the Black Beak Mercs had hurled his mace and it stuck the old hunter directly in the skull, leaving a nasty caved in wound as the hunter skidded across the floor, gushing blood from the cavity in his head and twitching like a snared squirrel.
Ragnap chuckled under his breath before turning to the doctor, his hand began to shake with a dark energy, and he grinned before pointing at Pox, shooting out a black magic bolt that knocked Pox on his back, completely taking the wind out of him. Ragnap revealed himself to be a Spellsword, dangerous mages of destructive energy who also fought with melee weapons, rare in Naveroth, almost unheard of in Cullwath.
The only reason that bolt didn't kill you is because you're more worth to the mercs here alive, you've patched up a lot of us since you've been here and saved the bosses around town a lot of money on medical bills, you're a net benefit. But if I see your ugly beak around The Count's territory again, I'll consider you tax deductible.Ragnap kicked Pox hard in the stomach, which caused the doctor to crumple further on the floor. Ragnap also reached into Pox's coat and stole the remainder of his gold pieces, chuckling as he walked off. One of the henchmen walked over to the still twitching Qwendar and raised his mace, it was out of Pox's line of sight, but he clearly heard the mace smashing into the old hunter's skull and the wet crunch of bone and brains being pulverized against the pavement. One towns person vomited, but they all went on their way as the mercs left the scene.
Pox looked up only to see a female face hovering over him, it was that of an elven woman who was sleeping at the same inn he came out of only to be awoken by the noise, it was a gruesome scene indeed and she was wondering what the hell happened.
