OOC: Well, that was assuming Daniel was pushed outside, and tried to come back inside to cause more trouble ... In any case ...

IC:
As Daniel grabs his arm, Darl swings it around in an attempt to loosen Daniel's hold and send him reeling towards the bar. Fed up with the annoying piss-ant, he steps through the portal and cancels the spell behind him, setting off to find hte soldiers who had just left the bar.

....
As they fan out across the street, their weapons at the ready, the two men that left the tavern earlier can be seen a few meters behind them. The apparent leader of the group of soldiers beckons to one of the two men following and after conversing briefly with him the leader steps forward and looks straight at Darl. In a loud voice he says "I've been told that there's trouble brewing in Shad's place. Do you know anything about that?" It's obvious by the look on his face that it's a rhetorical question but he wants to see how Darl is going to respond.
IC:
"I certainly do," Darl responds. "It appears you've got a new visitor in town, one who has done nothing to prove his value to this community, and one who is not part of the group that Father Malaki has recruited in order to right the wrong which has fallen upon your town this troublesome day. Father Malaki has charged us with carrying out a very important task on his behalf, and this newcomer seems intent on running interference with that charge. Frankly, I wouldn't be surprised to learn that he is in fact working for the Unholy himself, sent here to run interference and prevent us from carrying out our mission." Looking at the two soldiers in the back, he addresses them directly. "You saw how he attempted to provoke me ... does your village always welcome such troublemakers with open arms? In any case, you can find him back at Shad's, unharmed, and probably gloating over his supposed victory ... I'm not one to suggest how to do your jobs, but am I to be punished for possessing discretion where he apparently has none?"

After pausing for a moment to let the question settle in, he continues ...

"As for the task which Father Malaki has set before us, I'm trying to understand the demon's motivations behind the attack. What, if anything, can you share with us to help us understand exactly how things went down this afternoon?"

Daniel watches the bartender start to calm down, with a kind voice he turns to Anastasia , " Hey missy , if i heard right your name is Anastasia ? From the looks of what i been following , the tracks look to be bout your size . Someone picked ya up in a cart I take it ? I know you didn't kill them people I found on the way here .. I imagine you proble tried to help the last guy . What can ya tell me bout what you noticed bout the bodies ? "

Daniel sits down at the bar waiting for answers .

Anastsasia shocked that this stranger finally replies, she answers him with a little concern from what had just happened.."Yes that is my name and I'm glad the bartender is now at ease somewhat from what all happened here, which I'll answer your questions if you'll answer mine..I don't really remember much about the dead bodies..I tried to help one man but all I know is that were all searching for something here and we should all help as I said before. All I can remember is alot of smoke and with all that happened and trying to help I dont remember at this point how I got out of there..its just important that I

(sorry comp went down and it wont let me edit grrrrrr)
got out of there when i did...so what exactly are you looking for and are you going to help us as well and we all work together?"

Daniel looks at Anastasia almost blankly , " What am I looking for ? Well a demon , I been following has left a trail of dead bodies in its wake . Seems like he tortures em till the point of death and leaves them there . Nature is left to kill them . So I am tracking this demon and I am going to kill it off just like how it left all them people . "

Daniel sits there waitin for the bartender to come back out with Anastasia's food .

Anastasia looks at this stranger, eyes wide open and shocked but not really, "Well yes I see, and too many bodies just too many. Something needs to be done soon I agree..we dont need anymore bloodshed...I remember some clues pointing to maybe and more than likely a demons work, but whoever and how many that may be helping him we dont know at the moment but I'm sure with some looking around and talking to people, we will find out..I dont have all the answers but I'm sure we will work together and help get rid of the problem and find our answers..so your name I believe I overheard is Daniel? Would you like the bartender bring you something to eat and drink as well?"

" Yep , names Daniel . on the world I'm from I went by a different name . Well it was a nickname . But that story is for another place .. As for us working together , only time will tell . " Daniel starts to look around the room looking at any details out of place

"Well its nice to meet you Daniel, and I think we will work out fine maybe a few kinks in the way but it'll work out I'm sure..I think at the moment keeping you occupied with what your looking for and away from Darl for the time being since its quite obvious you two aren't getting along, so it looks like maybe the bartenders coming this way, so better order something up and eat while you seem to be looking around here for something..." Anastasia looks around at what he might be looking for and trying to see if she can understand what this Daniels really about and this other name and place..sooooo many secrets one holds tsk tsk... I should be able to find out something here but I'm glad hes searching out the demon that killed so many people as she holds her head down remembering the man she last talked to that spirit brought back to say what was intended for me to hear.
