Posted by Heidi, Serna, Werewolf & Ianto on 6/9/2008, 8:54 am, in reply to "Re: Romance Interrupted!"
When Serna arrived at the top of the stairs, she discovered Ianto with his harp in hand knocking on the door of the Lady Knight and The Lieutenant.
"Aye! Lady Knight! Is everything alright in there?" inquired the Innkeeper in a voice loud enough for Heidi to hear, "We heard some noise and wondered if you and your mate were okay?"
Heidi heard the knock and yelled, "Get in here and get Sor'n out!" She didn't dare take her eyes off the Werewolf.
She glared at the monster, "You are gonna die for this, mutt." She couldn't use her power as a weapon, for fear of hurting her love mate. Plus if she survived, she'd need it to heal him.
Turning to Serna the Innkeeper ordered, "Stay right there and stay out of trouble."
"You don't have to tell me twice," mentioned Kana's Ex-Servant without making a move.
Ianto quickly opened the door and assessed the situation as he tried to hide his revulsion at the sight he saw.
"By the beard of Saint David!" were the only words he gasped as he attempted to do what the Lady Knight ordered of him.
She moved slowly away from the door, she needed to bait the creature away if they were going to get the Lieutenant to safety. She grasped the hilt of her sword with both hands and stopped in front of the hole the two creatures has ripped into the room.
The Werewolf rose onto its haunches and followed the Lady Knight away from the fallen Drow all the while snapping, snarling and hissing at its new intended prey. With his Harp at the ready, Ianto moved over to The Lieutenant and kept his eyes on both Heidi and the Werewolf. Upon reaching the Drow Officer, the ex-Bard slipped one arm around Sorn's waist and began to half-drag and half-carry him towards the next room.
"Come on then! Show me what you got!" She yelled at it, waiting for it to charge.
The Werewolf cut loose with one more defiant roar of anger before it sprinted towards the Lady Knight at a full charge with the intention of cutting her down and ripping her to pieces.
Heidi was shaking as she waited until the Werewolf was nearly on top of her before dropping to one knee and thrusting her sword upwards with the intent of skewering something. She was aiming for his chest, his heart.
But her back up plan was the hole in the wall, if she missed, he'd hopefully fall out the building, give herself some time.
Just as Heidi had hoped, the Werewolf did impale itself through its heart on the Lady Knight's blade. However, something unexpected happened, something which Heidi did not account for in her hastily crafted plan. The sheer force of the creature's charge slammed into The Lady Knight and sent both of them through the hole in the wall. While the Werewolf was unfortunate enough to crash into the street below dead as a doornail, the Lady Knight was little better off because her left wrist got caught between two pieces of broken timber.
So The Little One was now precariously dangling twenty feet off the ground by the strength of her wrist. Donned only in a bathtowel with her blood-soaked sword still in hand. And to make matters worse, five Werewolves were in the street below her ready with their maws open to devour The Lady Knight if she fell and, oh yes, it began to rain.

"Wow! What's that?" inquired Serna as she moved down the hallway to a nearby room where she spied something shiny sitting in a corner.
Entering the room, Kana's Ex-Servant saw a small round shield and instantly recognized to whom it belonged, "That's Master Willow Bark's shield. It looks a bit small for him, but it looks just right for me."
Serna picked up the shield and studied it before she slipped it onto her arm, "I hope he doesn't mind. But wherever he is, we may need it more than he does."
