She smiled slightly, a bit of elven charm coming through. "Don't tell me that you don't sense the coming of other beings besides those naturally in this city? It isn't hard considering it's a decent amount of aura clumped in a single formation."

"I have no idea what yur talking about Elf." Nadurak growled lowly. His hand clenched lightly around the hilt to his greatsword. "Do you know something you're not telling me? Has the clan paid you off or if yur workin' with that blasted..." he stopped himself, glancing at the man at the table with them, then at the others in the bar. It was not a word others used lightly, the known name of these creatures could send those who knew of them into a panic. Truly nothing else as evil as these things walked the earth's surface, or rather below it.
The savage being grunted and hooted with glee as they ran forward, many had now lit torches. It was late enough and dark enough that noone had taken notice of these beings approaching from the outside of the town. Even those at the edges were still oblivious to the danger. Even as their houses begain to smolder and burn, it would still take a little bit for them to wake up if the smoke didn't kill them in their sleep. It allowed the beings to press further into the unguarded town. The one being, doubtlessly the leader of them all walked slowly as if enjoying the stroll. Again it was not as big as any of the beatial orcs setting fire to the sleeping town, but it had a power that was felt not seen. Those white eyes faced one direction and it did not change it' path as it headed to the tavern.
Just then one of the dwarves who had left the tavern to quickly relieve himself ran back in. "Orcs! Tons of them! They're raiding the town! Setting fire to the buildings on the outskirts!" The tavern was set into a panic as people either rushed up or duked under tables. The table of dwarves drew axes and shields and headed for the door, each one glancing a long hateful glance at Nadurak, but even they knew that Hobgoblins and Orcs had no particular love for each other either so the Hobgoblin was inocent this time. Just about everyone else who were confident in their fighting strength reached for weapons and rushed out the door. The town did not have a town guard but instead relied on the passing through warriors and adventurers to deal with such things. But these guards were expecting only a raiding party of orcs. Not the hand picked guard of something that rivalled even the might of the younger dragons on it's own. Nadurak snarled and his hand clenched tighter on his sword, he ignored the almost empty mug at his side and stood up. With that one hand he swiftly drew out the large blade with great speed, clenching the weapon in both hands he pointed it at the Elf's throat. "How the hell did you know they were here?"

{Correct me if I'm wrong about where everyone is/who they're playing. Being me, I'm a bit confuddled. xD}
Seeing the rush, Ulani peered out from beneath his hood, pulling his feet from where they were crossed comfortably on the table. Indigo eyes darkened to purple - he had no particular love of orcs, but contrary to what some people thought, they weren't the embodiment of evil in the world.
Contemplating his empty tankard, he simply shrugged and swung to his feet, the hooded cloak swirling about his legs as he meandered his way over to the bar. Setting it down on the side, he regarded the other remaining patrons with unguarded curiosity. From what he could see, a human, an elf and a hobgoblin. Interesting combination, that was for sure.
Tilting his head in askance, he listened in to their conversation.
{Yep. Not much for me to do here yet. xD}

(She said something just laud enough for them to hear!!!!!!)
Squalls sighed and draw her sward from its scabbard. It was a very strange sward, thin, long and flat. It was covered in little etchings of storms and the edges twisted in what ever direction they felt like, creating sharp hooks and twisting points. If it wasn’t for the fact she clearly knew how to use it, she would have looked like a child playing with its father’s too big sward. She pulled the blue ribbon keeping her gray cloak on. It fell to the floor, revealing Squall- Little storm- weather worker (storm division) - Tempest child's head for the first time. (Daughter of Dark- Night bringer- Shadow worker- Shade son and Rae- Sun dancer- Weather worker (solar division)- Light heart) [And yes her species always have names like that]. Squall had long, gray/blue straight hair and dark gray eyes, shot through with lightning bolts of yellow that shifted and moved. That and her too tall for a 13 year olds body gave away that she was in no way human.

The Elf didn't move nor did she tense up. "I have aura vision... I'm not like the Elves you might know. Now, if you remove your sword from my throat it appears we have much bigger problems rather than my abilities."

Nadurak growled and moved the sword away, though he still firmly held it. "I don't need to spill your blood anyways." He went over to the door. "A suggestion to the all of ya still in here. It's more than just orcs out there I figure. This town's good as dead. Run while you can 'cause orcs don't take prisoners very often. Those that are taken wish they were dead."

"Yes. I agree" said Squall, suddenly apeering at their side. " Someone sencing auras is the least of your worries right now. She opened the door of the tavern and stood there, half in, half out. She stared at the sky and muttered words to her self. She lifted her hands above her head, fingers as wide apart as possible and brought them down to her side, fast. Emedeatly, what had before been a light drizzle of rain turnedf into a torrent of water, drenching every one and ever thing. The fires starting up were quenched almost straight away. Squall smilled, knowing that yet more powerfal tricks were still hidden up her soaking wet sleave.

Ulani considered the elf with deep indigo eyes. She seemed the best person to question about what was going on with these orcs.
"It may not be my business, but are these orcs simply a raiding party, or are they organized? Can you tell?"

Though she had not been asked, Squall gave her opinion. She waved her arms slowly across each other, in the direction of the orcs. "They feel too angry, too bent on destruction just to be a raiding party...too organised, they all know what they are soppesed to do".

The Elf woman shook her head. "I don't know if they're organized or not... but there are a good number of them." she replied to Ulani.
She then smirked to Nadurak. "It's a fight out there... there's no way I'm running." She drew a dagger in one hand and in the other a strange sort of knife blade with a grip in the middle. The metal formed an arc so that the handle attached in a model of a bow but for swiping.

Ulani's gaze sharpened.
'So it could be a raiding party under someone's command... and that's never good, both for commoners and travelers like me.' He sighed to himself. 'Looks like to battle I go.'
Outwardly, he smiled lazily. "Well, it wouldn't do to run away, so guess I'm in too." Flipping his hood back, revealing mussed brown hair, Ulani patted his hip, checking his dagger was still there. After all, you never knew when you'd get pickpocketed in taverns. A lesson he'd learnt one too many times.

Nadurak growled lowly and went outside, the sword in two hands. The fighting had been heard and most people were locking up their houses. The fighting had not quite reached the tavern yet but he knew it would. He looked out that direction and almost stopped moving when he saw the one standing in the shadows. A thin person wearing long robes. They were too much in the shadows to be seen clearly but it had featureless white eyes that stared out at the Hobgoblin. The very air around it begain to shimmer.

She nodded. "Then, in the case of all of us appearing fairly strong and all agreeing to fight rather than run away, I suggest we work together. It's the best way to combine our talents."
The elf then paused. "My name is Nightwind by the way in case you wondered."

The young man grinned his lopsided grin.
"Ulani. I would say nice to meet you, but I'd say that facing a horde of orcs isn't exactly a nice way to meet." Pulling out a plain daggerblade from beneath his cloak, he rolled his shoulders.
