Akra watched as one of the men took an arrow to the side and almost doubled over off the stage. Feeling that being shot with a bolt is something to avoid, she decided to draw an arrow and let loose at the already wounded combatant. Maybe if she could finish him off while he was occupied with his other attacker, it was save her the pain of being shot at. The target couldn't of been easier as it stood still and the arrow sunk deep, biting into the belly of the man. He had finally had enough and fell over crumpling to the stairs below him. (19 hits, 9 Damage for the KO)
Watching his companion get shot brought the thugs attention directly to Akra. With fumbling hands he loaded a bolt and fired lodging the round into Akra's left arm. Leathers and rough scales stopped some of the punch as the bolt only left a shallow wound. (15 hit, 4 Damage vs. Akra)
Runa kept her head low as she stood near a stall trying to get as much cover between her and the bolts flying overhead. She raised her crossbow once more but couldn't draw any sight to her previous target, the black veil hiding any action on the stage. The next most immediate threat was the last ranged combatant, so her finger slid over the lever and squeezed sending a shot sailing passed his head and clattering into the dirt behind. (8 to hit, miss vs. Crossbowmen).
Creed snuck farther up his previous target now down. Eliminating the dangers to him were a top priority so the unsuspecting crossbowmen seemed a perfect target. He drew his shortbow back once more and sent an arrow deep into the man's hip. He turned violently as the bolt slammed his left side and made eye contact with the hooded Creed, worry and fear his only expression. (4, 14 for advantage on attack. 9 Damage for sneak attack)
Oskar spotted one of the unengaged thugs standing in front of the stage, his dagger bloody from killing those revelers too close to the action. He decided justice needed to be dealt and fired his bolt to cripple and interrogate the foe. His shot pierced the calf and brought the man to one knee who now struggled to keep standing. (10 to hit, 6 damage)
Hurisk fought on, his rage building after his initial miss. He raised his great axe and swung once more to bury it deep in the mans chest. His body crumpled to the ground giving no resistance to the momentum of the blow. (13 hit, 11 damage for KO) His only opponent now was the man who flanked him from behind.
Kairos quickly raised his hand axe once more and slashed out at the already beaten back man, who fell under his own dead weight as the axe took the life from him. ( 17 hit, 7 damage for KO) He also had one fighter left on him, but the path to the stage was opened.
The men who tried to hold the stage from the heroes pushed onwards, something surely powerful driving them to attack a foe who completely outmatched them. One stepped up to block Hurisk's path again and attacked while his comrade did the same. The initial attack did nothing to penetrate the barbarian's defenses but the attack from behind found purchase, leaving a thin trail of blood on the back of Hurisks leg. (14 to hit, 1 damage)
The two near Kairos moved up to pull a same maneuver, even wounded from Oskar's bolt. Their attacks found similar gain as the first attacks were mere distractions for the others to find chinks in the armor. One dagger drew blood along his back as the dagger pierced a link in the hauberk.(16 to hit, 2 damage)
Blood was spilled on both sides, and surely if the combat played out even a handful of seconds further, the thugs would have been bested. As everyone readied to attack once more veil dispersed, leaving a scene that would be burned into everyone's minds from that day on.
Abdel Adrian lay dead, a short sword protruding from his side. Standing over him was his attacker who screamed out to the heavens, his heading hanging to the side as if it was broken and his body arched in an almost inhuman way. A horrified hush came over the combatants as the survivor unleashed an unearthly howl of anguish. Bones began to crack, flesh tore and armor squealed and snapped as the victor's body began to warp into a grotesquely muscled mockery of a human being. What emerged from the fading black shroud was no man but a monster. It opened its blood rimmed eyes and stared out locking eyes with everyone who gazed upon it, the horrifying look of madness and bloodlust easily seen. Roaring out once more with a bellow filled with pain and anguish spraying the ones nearest it with bloodied spit, it leapt from the stage and landed near Kairos, killing the dagger thug and the crossbowmen along the way with its dagger like claws.

Oh also please if anyone feels I took too much liberty with what their character would think or do, please PM me and i'll edit. It's easy to over step exactly what a character wouldn't/would while writing.

Ok so this is my quick battle field description. I hope it makes sense to you guys. The "c" thugs are standing on stairs that lead up to the stage. Each line up is about 5 feet. So standing where Oskar and Runa is, moving up to where Kairos and Hurisk is, is about 25 feet.
/// = the stage
+++ = the shroud of darkness
c = crossbow wielding thug
d = dagger wielding thug
A = Akra
R = Runa

C = Creed
K = Kairos

Topic: Murder in Baldur's Gate
Subject: It starts with blood.
The light rain mixed with trickling streams of blood in the Wide as people scrambled to get away from the carnage. On the stage Abdel and his assailant dueled, the advantage of having a weapon painfully apparent as the hooded figure pressed hard leaving bleeding wounds where his blade stabbed. As their fight went on, the crowd pushed the guards further and further away, some even being trampled in the panic. Only a small group of people were left standing near the stage, the three bodies who weren't fast enough to get away and those who were armed, contemplating what was going on.
Akra stood and watched as the humans ran and wondered whether she should get involved, what her part in all of this actually played. No one threatened her directly so running wasn't necessary, and being no stranger to combat the fight on stage did not put her off. So she stood thinking about what the best course of action was. (Rolled 21 on Initiative, action taken to wait out and see)
The stage had two sets of stairs leading up, each set on the left and right sides. In front of each of these stairs stood a man dressed in leathers with a crossbow pointed at the crowd, scanning and looking for something. Seeing Kairos not running from the panic, one of these men aimed his crossbow and fired at the Paladin. The bolt sailed straight hitting Kairos in the left thigh, the wincing pain almost debilitating. Fortunately the heavy chain deflected the broad tip and kept the bolt from piercing, but already he could feel the throbbing heat from the welt it would leave. (20 on Initiative, 17 for attack roll vs. Kairos, 4 damage.)
The other crossbowmen set his sights on Hurisk, seeing the massive half orc not backing down like the rest. He fired his bolt which struck Hurisk in the head, but the thick skull and brawn of half orc stock deflected the bolt away causing only a grazing wound. (20 on Initiative, 18 to hit vs. Hurisk, 4 Damage)
Runa stood farther back in the crowd watching the panic and decided to stay, seeing how things unfolded. The bodies of two revelers and a city watchmen way at the feet of the hooded attackers, clearly making these men something awful. She drew her crossbow and aimed it at the man attacking Adrian, pulling the trigger with perfect timing. The bolt whistled threw the air and pierced the man's leather armor, burying itself in his upper back. The attacker recoils and then disappears as a veil of black shadow engulfs the stage. The two combatants now shrouded in a magical black mist. (19 on Initiative, Attack vs. assailant, critical hit for 15 damage! Nice shot.)
Creed watched from a stall that had been abandoned by the merchant just moments before. He saw the exchange of fire and the veil of darkness, realizing this was more than just a mere street scuffle of sorts. He skulked up from the side of the stage (14 on stealth) to get within range of his bow and fired at the thug armed with a crossbow. With a quick release the arrow found its home deep between the ribs of the thug who stood 80 feet away on the stairs. He doubled over in pain and almost lost his footing, but regained composure and stood his ground. (Sneak attack vs. Crossbow thug with advantage. Rolled a 3, and a 20. Critical hit sneak attack for 12 damage!)
Oskar stood knowing exactly what needed to be done. He needed to bring justice to these attackers, stop them from murdering any more innocents. It seemed as if others thought the same as he wasn't alone in standing his ground. He loaded a crossbow and observed the two crossbowmen on the stairs, and the six other thugs with daggers and knives that created a line in front of the stage keeping anyone away from the fight in the shroud of darkness. (Readied and loaded his crossbow, and established all those who were his enemy. Six thugs with knives in a line blocking access to the stage, and two others on the stairs of the stage shooting into the crowd.
Hurisk, being wounded from a bolt to the head, flew into a rage. The pain faded and the adrenaline pumped as he moved to the thug blocking his path to the stairs, where the man who shot him stood. He raised his axe and brought it down heavy, but missed his dagger wielding foe. Blood had flowed into his eye and his aim was just off, cutting the tip of the man's boot off but nothing else. (Moved up and drew weapon, raged as bonus action, and attacked. 4+5 = 9, a miss.)
Kairos met eyes with the man who shot him and could easily see who the foes were from his temporary allies. He drew his hand axe as he made his way to the dagger wielding thug that blocked his path to the crossbowmen, and made a similar move as the other half orc, Hurisk, had done. His hand axe had found flesh as it tore through cloth and a clumsy block, the man wincing in pain as he tried his best to keep the half orc from the stairs. (Attack roll, 23 hits. 7 Damage)
The six dagger men stood and watched as their line was attacked. The man Hurisk was fighting lashed out to attack, slashing but doing nothing to phase the angered giant. (attack roll miss, no damage taken). His companion near him turned to flank Hurisk and stabbed out, drawing the attention of the raging half orc. ( 18 hits, 3 damage. ½ damage taken for resistance. 1 damage taken). A similar move was pulled on the other end of the stage, Kairos's opponent also gaining a flanking helper. The dagger had little to do against the heavy chains though, and only bit a shallow wound into his back. (19 vs. Kairos hits, 2 damage). The other two eyed the rest of them that had not engaged, waiting for a move to be made.

So Hammer, as far as you know Tyr died Roughly between 1385 and 1479, but the exact date is unknown. what you do know is his portfolios and divine might was handed over before he died to Bahamut and Torm, with Bahamut being a sub servant to torm. So essentially 1385 is when he was cut off from his following and they were turned over to those two gods.

also with combat, I'll be doing two rounds per update so make sure to let me know what you want to do for the next few rounds. after everyone posts their initial reactions I"ll roll initiative and we can begin combat rounds. You can post your first few decisions in your post you do and then i'll update accordingly.
Axio if you want to add in your decisions for the first two rounds, or just PM me, either one works.

As of right now, with some asking folks in the wide you know there's a shrine to Torm in the Twin songs district, about an hour and a half walk south east. Twin songs district is the village on the northern side of the bridge in the SE of the map.
