As Sulgar tried to surprise the enemy, the enemy had quick reflexes for an older man and with a loud 'CHINK!' he blocked Sulgars blow with his own dagger. He countered with his fist and knocked Sulgar's dagger down the hall and down the stairs toward the bar...
~ Robed Theif hits Sulgar for 1 HP ~
... Sulgar lands akwardly in the room with Jonas and Kaliorn with the robed man poised in the door.
(OOC - All players involved in battle must attack the enemy before the enemy counter-attacks. I will post attack results.)
Irritated that no weapon was at hand, and seeing the dagger of Sulgar's went spinning out the door and down the stairs by the sound of it, Kaliorn grabbed a bedsheet and attempted to blind the thief with it, throwing it wide in the air. She hoped the trick would work so she could then circle behind the man.

Sulgar was getting back up on his feet as Kaliorn had thrown the sheet over the thiefs head. Sulgar knew that it was a great oppurtunity to pummel the thief with his fists.
Jonas saw Kaliorn reach for her bed as she grabbed the sheet with lightning-quick reflexes jumping through the air and getting the sheet caught up in the theif's waving arms.
As the theif tried to cut the sheet away with his dagger, Sulgar took the oppurtunity to jump on the thief and landed a strong fist directly into his chest.
~ Sulgar hits Robed Theif for 10 HP ~
Robed Theif - 5/20 HP
The theif falls back against the doorpost and quickly cuts the sheet away. With a staggering stance and rage in his eyes, he lunges at Sulgar, ducking his slow fist and rolling through his legs, slicing his thigh as he went. Blood ran down Sulgars leg.
~ Theif attacks Sulgar for 6 HP ~
The theif got to his feet behind Sulgar and snuck up on Jonas and Kaliorn, dragging his blade across their backs. They could not belive his speed for being so old and so hurt from their attacks. Jonas whinced.
~ Theif attacks Jonas and Kaliorn for 10 HP! CRITICAL HIT! ~
Sulgar - 43/50 HP
Kaliorn - 30/40 HP
Jonas - 40/50 HP
Jonas looked at the others as the man stands in the corner of the room, panting heavily and bleeding on the floor. He knew the battle was over, he stared at them and lifted his dagger high above his head and before plunging into himself he said,
"You'll never kill them! THEY CAN'T BE KILLED! HE IS STRONGER THAN ALL OF YOU!"
He slumped on the floor and was motionless.
~ You have defeated Robed Theif ~
You have gained 20 Gold(each).
You have gained 10 EXP(each).
Sulgar growled as he looked his bleeding leg. He quickly tore part of his shirt and tied it around his thigh to put pressure on the bleeding and get it to stop. "Are you guys ok?" Sulgar was very curious about what the thief meant by( They Cant Be Killed )and who was leading these wolves that the thief was referring too. As Sulgar started thinking about it, he wondered, "Jonas, where is Roland the "mighty warrior" that you have asked to join our quest?" Sulgar chuckles a little bit to soften the mood.
Kaliorn winced at the pain, seeing the thief about to kill himself, she lunged at him, but he was dead before she got there.
"We need information!" she said, frustrated.
Turning around, she pushed the two gently out of the room and dragged the corpse out as well. "You guys can talk outside," she said firmly, shutting the door. Taking some bandages out, she started to dress the wound, which didn't take her long. In a few minutes, she had her pack in her hand and was ready to meet the others.

Jonas clenched his wound and sat outside the door with Sulgar. The body of the theif laying acroos from them. Jonas got himself up and walked over to the corpse. He slowly bent over and yanked the dagger from the body. He wiped it off on the robe of the dead man.
Slowly, he took his own dagger and slid it under Kaliorns door.
KALIORN HAS RECEIVED DAGGER
Jonas walked back over to Sulgar.
"Not sure where our friend Roland is, probably just sleeping off the spirits. Well, there's no use in going back to sleep now. Tend to your wounds and pack up your things, we'll be leaving shortly. Meet me in the foyer..."
"... and watch your back. We'll go to the shopkeeper's on our way out of town, to pick up some items."
With that, Jonas made his way to his room. He laid on his bed for a moment before starting to prepare for the trip. But his mind couldn't stop thinking of the connection between the theif and the wolves...
Sulgar went to his room to tend to his wounds better. Sulgar was getting ready to walk downstairs to retrieve the dagger and meet to leave when he heard some rustling in the closet. Sulgar quietly walked to the closet that had a linen covering the opening. Enough strange things have already occurred he thought. Sulgar ripped the cloth down and punched his arm forward into the air. There was nothing there. Sulgar was a little bit scared at the notion of a spector or ghost, so he turned and ran toward the door. He stopped as he saw a little mouse run under the bed. Sulgar gave out a little chuckle and stroll toward the door. " Sulgar, oh poor ole chapp, Har Har Har" Sulgar mumbled to himself.
*Sulgar strides down the stairs and retrieves his dagger. He goes to the bar and sits for awhile waiting for the others to arrive. He pulled his dagger out of a makeshift sheeth and twirled it around a little bit. He practiced swinging it a little bit to try to get used to its weight. After a little while, he decided it was no use, He needed a club badly. Sulgar smiled inwardly at the thought that he would find a tree limb to use as a club in the "haunted" woods.
Noticing the dagger, she bent down and picked it up quickly before pushing the door open. The dagger vanished from sight. Walking calmly as if nothing out of the ordinary had happened, she descended the staircase and headed towards Sulgar, who was playing with his dagger, trying to get a feel of it. Dumping the bundle onto the floor, she dropped herself onto the seat next to him.
"That's a good dagger," she commented, plainly aware that a bigger weapon would suit him better, but she refrained from saying so.
