[ic]For one reason or another you find yourself in Xian, the great city of the dragons. The mid spring breeze sweeps across the market square as one of the suns peeks out from the cloud filled sky. The mid day hustle and bustle is in full motion across the cobblestone square. Merchants selling their wares, craftsmen working their trade, performers entertaining the crowds, all in all a very ordinary day. A few members of the Dragon Guard hold posts on either end of the square, their draconic mounts standing tall and proud as guardians of this realm. In the distance Lady Elsa's royal crest, a red dragon's claw in front of two intersecting circles depicting the two suns of Karis, is flown high across the city walls as a tribute to her power and respect.   [/ic]

 [ooc]Alright, let's get everyone introduced and get things started. Feel free to introduce yourselves as you see fit.[/ooc]

[ic]Above the crowd, perched on a rooftop, is a small crimson pseudodragon. He is watching the crowd, especially the food sellers, with interest, waiting for a chance to strike.[/ic]

[ic Kevkas Ekinaj]A robed young man is standing on the side of the street yellling, "Oblivion Orbs, get your free piece of destruction! These have been enchanted with the blood of a very powerful Balrog! Good for everyday house use also! Only 3,000 Gold. Fine, fine. For you, 2,000! Oblivion Orbs for 2,000 Gold Pieces! How about it?" However, despite his claim, hey seem to be red and black glass balls, nothing more.[/ic]

[ic]Kevkas gains a few glances here and there but no one seems to be interested in oblivion. The commonfolk of this place have seen there fare share of destruction and suffering and from the looks of things they have had their fill.

Taking in his surroundings, Kevkas notices a fairly large group of onlookers being entertained by a juggler next to the fountain in the center of the square. The juggler is a tall and lanky human probably no older than 20. His shaggy brown hair drapes over his eyes as he manages to keep 6 balls in motion above him with apparent ease. [/ic]

[ic=Stris]Stris looks at the juggler. Fighting off an urge to snatch one of his balls out of the air, he glides to a closer building. Hopefully one of the foodsellers will be distracted enough by the juggler too...[/ic]

[ic=Markas]A 4'5" stout dwarf looks over to the fountain. His feet are tired, and there seems to be no place to rest them there. He decides instead to get something to eat. Markas heads over to one of the vendors and asks for some smoked sausage. Finding a place to sit, out in the open, Markas places his pack down. Before taking his first bite he places his sausage down on the plate or paper given to him, and strokes of his cleanly trimmed beard. He begins searching through his pack, trying to remember if he brought any spices with him.[/ic]

[ooc]How much for the sausage?[/ooc]

[ic]A few more people stop and are taken in by the juggler's performance and noticing the increase in his audience he brandishes a slight smile. He stops for a moment and procures a torch from his pack and balances it on his head before continuing. The crowd gives him a strong applause as he finishes with his act. Bowing to the people he places a hat on the ground to accept tips for his performance. A number of individuals throw in a few coins.[/ic]

 [ooc]2cp for the sausage[/ooc]

[ic=Stris]Stris spots the Dwarf purchasing the sausage, it had been a while since he had had any meat. Leaving a perfectly good sausage unattended, practically asking for it to be stolen...

The pigeon near Stris doesn't offer his opinion on this train of logic. Stris leaps off the  rooftop, glides silently towards the sausage, and snatches it up before booking it to the closest rooftop.[/ic]

[ic=Stris]Stris looks down on his victim while munching on his ill-gotten gains. If you had really wanted it, Stris communicates to him, You should have held onto it tighter, or at least fought for it. That's half the fun.[/ic]

[ic]A crow notices Stris' newly acquired meal and lands next to him upon the rooftop, letting out a large squwak to show his interest.

As Kevkas reaches into his pouch to grab a few coins for the street performer he notices that it's a little lighter than it should be. Looking around franticly for an assailant he sees a figure standing roughly 3 ft. tall with long brown hair dashing off into the distance.

Markas sits down once again ready to enjoy his meal. After digging around a bit in his pack he finds a few spices and lightly sprinkles them onto the steamed meats. He brings one to his mouth to take his first bite when a female halfling bumps into him as she rushes past, knocking both the sausage in his hands and on his lap tumbling onto the dirt covered ground.

[ic=Markas] Fight for it. If you wanted me to fight for it you wouldn't have been in such a hurry. Markas yells up to the psuedodragon.

Hey, watch where you're going!
He looks down at his second ruined attempt to fill his belly. He sighs. Perhaps the fates do not want me to eat today.[/ic]
