The Storyline Continues...



Cautiously, Luven pulls the door closed and moves away from the coop-stable entrance. He and his feline companion make their way around to the rear of the structure keeping close to the walls in order to maintain the coverage of shadow...

Coming to a halt directly below the open window at the rear of the coop-stable Luven reaches up and pulls Twitch from atop his head. Giving her a few whispered instructions Luven stands and dumps her through the window.

Giving her a few moments to do as he had requested, Luven returns to the front of the building and partially opens one of the entrance doors a bit so he can look in through the crack to see what is going on inside. His keened-eyed gaze instantly falls on Twitch just as she makes her silent leap at the bloody murderer's dagger. The brutish beast takes no notice of this action as with his back to Twitch he continues with his gory feast.

Luven sees that Twitch's first attempt merely loosened the large dagger a bit in the wooden support column. On her next leap her front paws caught the weapon and it dropped to the straw covered floor with a dull thud which Bruticus failed to hear over the loud crunching of Peco Peco bones, as the fiend was now sucking marrow in a most grizzly manor. As Luven began to prepare for the fight to come he saw that Twitch had stepped upon the creature's dagger and that it had disappeared from sight.

Drawing a deep breath Luven kicks the door open... "Hey, Stinkfingers! I've got something for you!!!", Luven shouts as he launches Blink Heartseeker. As the dagger streaks towards the bloody murderer it begins to flash in and out of sight, heading unerringly towards the creature as it is rising to face the one who has intruded upon its meal.

The Main Gauche is magically drawn to its target's heart and as it moves it strobes from visible to invisible. Once it hits its intended target Luven's remaining weapon, Follower, does what it is enchanted to do and flies from Luven's hand without having to be thrown, making a beeline along the same path as the first dagger. Just as it buries itself to the hilt in Lord Bruticus's chest Twitch jumps upon the staggering creature's head and begins to rake and claw its eyes!

Even though the fiend is mortally wounded it still finds the strength to make a lunging attack on the thief who is now unarmed. Taking the advantage of its confusion and pain, Luven does a tumbling backwards roll, coming up on his feet just outside the stable-coop's twin doors which had sprung open with the impact of his rolling body. "RECALL!", the professionally trained thief shouts as he whirls back to view the interior of the stable. A faint, double popping sound could be heard and then both daggers were magically in Luven's hands again! Blink Heart Seeker in his right hand, Follower in his left.
