Ambush

-Dalen Capital, Lower Quarter. Night, 2 DSTR-

"Don't worry yourselves so much. You've been in the company of one of the local riff-raff all night with no cause for concern, at least not from me. The people here live poorly, but they love their lives and wouldn't risk losing them by attacking a heavily armed party such as us."

"Not the point I was trying to make." Lafayette commented. "I only meant that we could be a ambushed by what ever we are track. For all we know they planned this to." he added just before the orc took off in a dead sprint towards the arch. "Well..." he said slowly. "I do not know what to make of that man." he shook his head. "Kalena, do you know this area well enough to keep me from having my wonderful life cut short?" he asked her only half joking.

As they trotted down the cobblestone path Lafayette slowly began to get more and more paranoid about the situation. Now and then his head would whip to the left or right looking down dark allies. "Why are some of these lamps lit with magic and some are candles?" he asked pointing out the seemingly random lamps had little magic balls of light inside rather then the normal flicker of a candle.

After a few more moments of riding Lafayette stopped his horse as the hounds began to go mad, howling at the sky. Indicating that they should see what they were hunting. "Sto..." but before he could finish the sound of crossbow letting fly a bolt echoed. The criminal shot Lafayette. Connecting with his hard heart protecting armor. Falling hard off his horse onto his left shoulder.

(Sorry its short. I also assumed we could find at least part of the Green Scarves could attack and make thins intresting.)
