The Grey and Black Wars

The name of the tavern was the Grinning Skull, and for its sign it has a Skull with a frock coat and a powered wig and rouge. Inside the place was dim, the ceiling low, but the tables and floors clean. Like many of the more modern places the reeds on the floor had been replaced with wooden planks and a sullen girl of about 11 was sweeping it.

"Klaes, I need two hearty meals and some brandy," she called. She was met with a smile as she ushered the man into a table in the corner of the room. She sat down across from him and tried to straighten down her hair, it was a little frizzy.

Klaes brought over and served the meal and frowned at the mess the stranger was creating. "Extra for clean up." He sneered. Actually, he didn't have much choice to sneer, he had a lovely scar from his chin up into his hairline that pulled his lip up.

Marion glanced over as she served Tirinath and then did a double take. Her green eyes grew speculative even as she flirted with the man.

"Oh, I love the smell of a good baccy on a man..." She said as she leaned that extra inch to pour his brandy.

With the chase, and the excitement of closing a immensely one sided deal, Markus felt restless, and locking the doors for the third time, but on the other side, he began walking down the road and wandered where his nomadic feet took him.

The day time shops were closing down as he walked and the night folk were warming up. Rich food smells came from café's rich and poor, flower sellers were setting up stalls near romantic walkways, a set of actors were putting up a shifty working at the entrance of a park for a night's performance. As he stood to watch he was surprised at the choice of work...But then these street actors were satirist of the lowest order, so often more honest...

In this one the Prince was played by an actor with a large codpiece. He spoke to someone who was apparently the newly dead cabinet member who nodded as he spoke, but then pulled a dagger and tried to sneak up on the prince every time his back was turned. At the last moment the princes Mistress came up and strangled the cabinet member and riffled his pockets. Hiding the body with her skirts she kissed the prince and picked his pockets as well. A servant brought them both wine and the Mistress keeled over dead after gasping "Poison".

As the play continued the body count continued to climb, the whole time the Prince was unaware.

Tirinath took note of her flirting and smiled. "Well im glad for you, i enjoy a good pipe with my liquor." he said taking note of neckline.
 
As soon as the messy couple went upstairs Marion took her break. Since the guard showed up not long after she'd done so, it wasn't hard to figure out that Marion made money in three or four ways instead of just the wages of the bar and 'gifts' from patrons...
 
Tirinath watched as Marion took her break. pity he thought, as he returned to his liquor and meat
 
"Yes, I would say it would be wise for you to get into the bed," she said as she tossed about their clothes to make the room look as if they had been in here for hours... Her mind raced as she heard loud footsteps upstairs, she had of course locked the doors because why kind of newlyweds want to get walked in on in the middle of their honeymoon?

For the most part the lights were out. She climbed into the after Jon and positioned herself over him. She just sat on his lower stomach and waited. Would they come straight up or would they search the bar first.

"Listen," she said looking down at him. "Did they ever get a really good look at your face?" She asked. If they did the two of them might be in trouble.
 
Jon lay there and looked up at Selene's face, noting that she was upset and looked nervous more than anything. The guards had come here looking for him and they both had every right to be nervous. If they were caught it was either the dungeons or death, whichever one they thought of first. He wanted to think of the situation that he found himself, laying in the bed with a beautiful woman but the fact that the guards were almost at his door gave pause to that and took away any smile that would have been on his face.

"I don't think they did. Even though they were outside the home practically waiting for me when I got out I was a cloak at the time with the hood pulled down. I'm not sure if they did though."

He looked over at the door just to hear the footsteps in the hallway beyond. The guards had come to his floor.
 
She could hear someone getting closer and closer, she hoped that the man that she had paid off had really kept his mouth shut. She pulled him up to her. This was going to be difficult for her before she really thought about it.

"Make it look real," she said as her hand found him already getting there. "Wow... you really did enjoy the view huh?" She asked as she tried to lighten the mood. She leaned down and started to kiss him and began deepening it.

There was no way they would believe they were newlyweds if there wasn't anything going on.

"Can you handle it?" She whispered as she let go of his head and attacked his neck.
 
Jon lay there as Selene attacked his neck with her lips but couldn't concentrate on it as he could hear the footsteps out in the hallway and the guards voices as they asked the patrons to open the doors. He wanted to curse out loud at them but he then remembered where he was and what he was meant to be doing. He placed both of his hands on Selene's ass and began to move them slowly.

He leaned up to kiss the side of her neck but before he could he heard the sound of a fist on the door. He cursed loudly and looked towards the door.

"Go away! We are kind of occupied in here!"

"Open the door now or we break it down!"

He looked up Selene, "What do you want to do about this?"
 
She smiled as he touched her, not because he was touching her but because he was going to do as he was told. She frowned at the 'disruption'. She looked at him and he was looking to her once again. She sighed and rose from the bed.

"This is what I will do," she said opening the door not hiding the fact that she was naked. "What can I do for you gentlemen?" She asked as she stared up at them. "My husband and I are on our honeymoon... We've been together all day," she giggled as she blushed.

She had to play the role.

"Would you mind if I got back to my husband's bed?" She asked before she recieved a shock. "I don't think it's customary for you to watch... or listen..." She said soundng irritated but then she realised it was something that would keep him safe.

"I'm nervous... could you wait outside?" She asked.
 
Jon leaned over and looked at the guards wishing that he had the power to make them leave the room right now. He didn't want to get out of the bed to tell them to leave as they just might recognize him and Selene had the situation well under control. He watched as the guards slowly left although their eyes never left the naked form of Selene or that of the clothes left lying all over the bed.

Leave the room now. You know you aren't getting anywhere near her he thought with a bemused grin on his face.

He watched as Selene locked the door then returned to the bed, a harrassed look on her face. Jon wanted to laugh loudly at that but given the situation they were in he knew it would be best not to. It was then that Selene climbed back into the bed and covered both of them.

"So. Do you want me to continue from where I left off?" the smile was back on his face.
 
God she hated guards, they were just such stupid things and it was apparent that they thought that they had a shot when she let them know that she was with her husband. Even if she wasn't she wouldn't have gone with them that was for damn sure.

The wolf girl climbed back into the bed.

"You're going to have to... They'll be back in here if you don't," she explained as she started to kiss his neck again. She giggled softly, but loudly enough that they would hear her.

"Alright," she whispered, "Can you do this?" she asked before she found herself on her back and staring up at him.
 
Jon rolled Selene over onto her back and with a large grin on his face kissed her deeply on the lips.

"You ask me if I can do this. It depends on if you want the guards to stand there and listen or if you want to make so much noise that the entire tavern will stand up and take notice."

With that he moved under the covers and began to run his tongue lightly over her body, all thought of the guards now gone from his head. He wanted to look up at Selene with a large grin on his face but he knew what she would do and started to run his tongue over her again, determined to drive the guards away from their door.
 
K'ahl Silvaris

It was early the next morning when the lean silhouette of an elf drifted through the city gates of Watersdeep. K'ahl always hated coming to this city, if only for the smell. He couldn't say for sure what brought him here today, he just knew, deep in his heart, that something big was happening.

He strolled purposefully through the empty streets, hurrying to beat the sun. He was headed to the Grinning Skull to seek out an old acquaintance. An elf named Tirinath.

He kissed her, and she back him until he spoke again. Selene stared at him and his suggestion and had to laugh. It wasn't loud or meant to offend but it was clearly of amusement. "Alright Jon... Let's see if you can handle a woman..." She jibbed slightly before giggling at the tongue running over her body. What? It tickled for Christ's sake.

She was trying to see what he was planning but he wouldn't look up at her. And before she could stop herself a beautiful 'Mmmmmmm...' slipped from her smirking lips. Her eyes had fallen shut without meaning for them to. She saw that smirk he wore and almost smacked him upside the head but instead drew him up to her.

"You have to do better than that Jon..."
 
Markus watched the play, smirking at the proper places, frowning at others. In all honesty he didn't find family murders terriblly ammusing, however the play was just that, and it was a comical situation.

As the play was winding up Markus rubbed the back of his neck, remembering again the death of the man at the docks. As the curtain fell (shabbily) Markus stuck both his hands in his pockets and to his belt, making sure to cup his coin purse, keeping a watchful eye as people he sure were of dubious nature wandered through the crowd. wishing not to be asociated with those people, Markus quickly turned and left the square.
 
Gali - A night on the tiles

Gali had enjoyed the chase over the rooftops and had admired the skill of the young man. He had stayed out of sight of the guards and found some shelter on a roof.

He lay down and looked at the stars, he would find a bed tomorrow but for now he would stay here. He hummed to himself and

"Will You ssSHut upsss, Im trying to sssleeps." The demon in the spear hated Gali`s singing, it drove him up the wall, or it would if he could touch walls.

"Oh be quiet I am relaxing, we will need to speak to a few people tomorrow so I will be asleep soon. You can stay up all you like, wake me if you hear anything." Gali yawned and stretched his giant arms.

"Let yousss know if I hearss anything? I will Tell . . ." But the giant man was already asleep.

The demon let his spirit move around the city, he could only be away for a moment but the split second of freedom was like mana from heaven. Heaven? The spirit shuddered, what a horrible word.

In his brief time moving through the city he felt many evil souls. He laughed this would turn out ok after all. The demon relaxed but kept alert, enjoying the peace without out the constant singing.
 
Jon was slightly taken aback by this. It was true that he never had women melting at his feet but those he had been with had not gone home unhappy, had they?

He looked down into her eyes before kissing her deeply on the lips, his hands moving slowly over her body. Jon ran his hands deliberately slow over her breasts, feeling them respond to his touch and hearing the small sounds that Selene made as he touched her. His mouth and tongue went to the side of her throat and he attacked it as if he were a hungry vampire, his lips and tongue leaving a wet trail on her skin and leaving little goosebumps.

He knew that he wanted to make the guards go away, that he wanted to make Selene make noise but a part of him wanted to take it slowly as if to tease her. He looked at again with a ready smile on his face before he moved under the cover, moving down on his knees until he was near her feet.

He looked up her body and could see that she wanted something to happen. He moved close to one leg and began to kiss and lick it, watching the goosebumps form on her flesh. Very slowly he licked her right leg then her left before resting between her legs.

"Is there anything else you wish for me to do....." he said, happy that she could not see his grinning face.
 
Just as Selene was about to tell him exactly what he could do with that tongue taht was so expertly making her moan, she heard the guards shouting along with a loud crash downstairs. She looked at him. She got up from the bed and peeked out the door to see only one guard standing out there...

"What do you want to do Jon?" She asked looking at him. "We can run or we can stay here and hide," she said. Both had risks and horrible outcomes should they be caught but both led to an eventual way out.
 
Jon moved towards Selene, now totally confused as what to do. He knew that he could get out of the window and run through the streets of Waterdeep to one of the safe houses the guild had in this part but the thought of spending more time with Selene did have its advantages as well. He looked straight her weighing up his options but he knew that there would be no better time than now to get out of here in one piece. There was only one small thing that he did not like, the fact that he had to put his clothes back on. They were still covered in the grape juice from the cart that he had jumped into and the thought of putting them back on made him cringe.

"I just have one small thing though. If we are going to run is there anywhere that I can get something cleaner than this? The thought of running through the streets in these doesn't give me a joyful feeling."
 
"Let's just stay here," she suggested finally as she picking up his clothes which were damp with grape juice. She moved to the wooden tub and rinsed them out before setting them out to dry. Selene moved back to the room which was lit by only the bright moon. She stared at him for a moment.

She closed the distance between them and slowly drew him down to kiss her again.

The wolf girl took advantage of the silence now. This was just a one time thing right? Yeah, they didn't know each other or care really...
 
As he kissed her deeply on the lips and pulled her close to him there was but one thought in Jon's mind. Where do we go from here? I have only just met this woman today and I have just been sharing her bed. Will we just disappear into the night and never see each other again?

He wanted to ponder that some more but knew that now was not the right time to do so and moved his hands down to her her ass again, slowly moving it.

"It is the safest place to be right now and besides, now that my clothes are wet there is nothing else that I can wear."

The ever present smile returned to his face before he kissed her deeply and moved over to the bed.
 
She smiled as he seemed game to want to play again. She was glad that whatever was going on out there wasn't going to affect this... Besides what would the guards think if they had simply diappeared? Yes, there wasn't much doubt this was where they needed to be right now.

"Excuses..." She teased as she followed him to the bed. She knew what was going to happen was going to be either great or bad...

"This time..." She pushed him down, gently, onto the bed. She straddled his hips where a handsome member was waiting for her and so slowly impaled herself on it...
 
He let out a slight gasp as she slid down onto him. His first instinct was to move but he placed his hands onto her hips and slowly pulled her down onto him, looking up into her eyes as he did. He wanted to smile at her but he knew that would not be appropriate and began to move under her, listening to the sounds that she was making as they both began to move.

He knew that he should be thinking it at the the time but he wondered if the guards had gone from the hallway or if they had come back. He knew if they had come back they would have something to listen to, get bored and hopefully leave which would allow Jon to once again disappear out into the street. He looked back up at Selene with that first thought in mind. He forced a smile to form on his face as he moved underneath her once again.
 
She allowed herself to be moved down. And as he moved up Selene gasped and whimpered. It felt good and hurt a little. But still she urged him on... "Mmmmmm Please again Jon..." She moaned as she began to against him slowly so she didn't hurt him... yet....

"Aaaah...." She gasped loudly.... if there were any guards they knew that they weren't joking anymore.
 
Jon started to move a little harder and faster beneath Selene while he listened to all the sounds that she was making. He knew that he should be thinking of something else but all rational thought had gone from his head. All that there was for him was the here and now and Selene who he was moving beneath a little faster. He didn't care the noise that they were making at the moment as he just wanted to be here with her.

"Do you want me to go harder?"
