In the streets of Armenelos

[Xhel]

That was to easy.. Xhel thought. But he also knew the guards would be here in any minute. He sheathed his weapons and put hers away. The room was full of junk, useless junk. He rolled Eruanna over, now she was facing down. The useless junk he now put around the doors entrance and scattered it across the room.

For doing that in only 30 seconds Xhel felt quite accomplished. He had to act fast as he heard the guards checking the rooms around the one he was in. He looked left and right.

"Barrel" He said out loud but not loud enough for some anyone to hear him.

Three guards bursted into the room. They spotted Eruanna on the floor. One of them ran over to the blacked out queen and checked for a pulse. "She's all right..."

Then the other spoke. "Did she trip?" He said noticing the room was a mess. The third guards chuckled lightly. "Well we better get her to her room.."

The guard who had checked her pulse picked her up and threw her over his shoulder. "Lets go.."

The three then walked out of the door. After counting to 30 seconds Xhel's head popped out of a barrel. A smirk crossed his hidden face.

[Eruanna Almárëa]

When Eruanna woke she was in her bed. She attempted to sit up but had to lay back down because of a throbbing head. It was still dark outside and the moon hadn't moved very much, so she figured that the thief must still be in the palace. Bracing herself, she gingerly got out of her bed and made her way to the door. This time, she would warn someone there was a intruder.

She opened her door and stepped out into the hallway for the second time that night. strapping her sword and elven knives to her slender waist, she walked towards the nearest palace guard. But to he shock and dismay, he was dead. Stabbed with something. She unsheathed her sword and made her way to the palace's treasury.

When she reached it, she noticed that the door was open, Upon close examination, she saw that the lock had been picked. She entered quietly and heard a continuous clunk clunk. Then she saw a shadow.

[Xhel]

(I may be a thief but I don't murder unless its the only possible way of escaping.. so you can have him be unconsciouses or I can roleplay the murderer who killed him to add some fun to this thread)'

Xhel shoved some more gold into his bag. It was more then enough he thought as he closed the bag. He got up and walked to wards the door. It opened and a huge man walked through. In his left hand he carried a bloody sword.

The mans was fast, fast enough to catch the elf off guard and knock him out with his fast. It might of been a coincidence but they were both thieves. Xhel had snuck his way through but this man had killed anyone who had drown a weapon against him. The man (who we will call caramon) took out a large bag and shoved as much gold into it as possible. Caramon heard the door open behind him. He got up his sword in one hand and the bag in the other. He stood to be 6 ft 5. (2-3 meters roughly)

[Eruanna Almárëa]

Eruanna was startled when she entered, this couldn't be the man that she had recently fought. She looked beyond the giant and saw a person, unconsious. That must be the man who knocked me out, she thought. She turned her attention back to the man with a Bloody sword in his hand, and a murderous look in his eyes. Eruanna was determined she would not be beat twice in one night.

She calmly sheathed her sword and pulled out her two long knives, they were each two feet long and deadly sharp. She swung them in a complicated manuver where, if all went like she hoped, would end up both knives in his side.

[Xhel]

Caramon kept his eyes on the blade. He parried one blade and reached to block the other. His blade touched Eruanna's misdirecting it yet still cleaving sme of him. He gritted his teeth in pain and managed not to yell. He swung his bag of gold at her hoping to hit the lady's face.

[Eruanna Almárëa]

Eruanna ducked, her elven senses reacting. She may not be full elf but she had inherited their quick reflexes. As the man swung the bag she swung her knives straight for her opponent's knees.

[Xhel]

Caramon backed away the blade missing his knee but hitting his shin. Animal like instincts took over as he ran straight towards the half elf. His blade pointing foward as if he was rhino charging into enemy or getting out of the way, Either way he would get out of the room.

[Eruanna Almárëa]

Eruanna jumped up from her crouching position and saw the man charging. She stood erect, her sword held near face. She didn't move as the man charged towards her. Then at the last possible moment, swung straight for his abdomen, jumping out of the way as she did.

[Xhel]

(she's swinging the sword left to right correct?)

The man's eyes opened up wide as the sword came to wards him. He dived miraculously over the blade and landed face first. Without a second to lose he ran out of the room, bleeding and bruised. He left the castle the route he had taken to get inside, running by the corpse of servants and guards.

[Eruanna Almárëa]

((Right to left actually, doesn't matter though))

After the man had vanished, Eruanna strode over to where the other would be thief lay. After rolling him over she checked his pulse. It was a little slower than it should be, but he was alive. Then she pulled him onto her slim shoulders and started towards the door.

[Xhel]

Xhel's friend Tanis finished his third pint of beer. He was worried that he would get caught. Then again he was always worried. This time it was diffrent though. He got up and headed to wards his sword. If he must blood would be sheded to save Xhel.

[Eruanna Almárëa]

Eruanna continued to the guards' room, stopping every few yards to rest. It was unknown to her that right at this moment, Tanis was coming for Xhel. When she arrived at the large wooden door, she called out as she could not open it herself.

The guard that appeared had a bored expression untill he saw what she carried. He quickly took Xhel. "Oh madam, you should not carry such heavy loads, and what, may I ask are you doing this late at night. Is he," the guard said pointing to Xhel, who he lad laid on the floor. "...Causing you any trouble?"

"No, none at all. I was just on my way to find my maid and I found him in the hallway." Eruanna did not want to cause more trouble for the elf, he hadn't even reall stolen anything. "You may send someone for my tea if you please."

"Yes'm."

[Xhel]

The half elf made his way to the castle. Two bodies lay still at the entrance one bleeding and another knocked out. It couldn't be Xhel's work. He thought as a large man rammed into him knocking him back. He got back up and shrugged off the minor pain. The man was running away down the street leaving a trail of blood.

[Eruanna Almárëa]

Eruanna made her way back to her room slowly. Waiting for the sound of clashing swords that would signal Xhel's awakening. She wondered if after he had awakened, he would leave the palace or continue plundering. Elros should know She thought. And after the maid brought her tea, she quietly slipped a cloak on and alked briskly to Elros's chambers. But before she reached there, she heard a crash and swords unsheathing coming from the guard's room.

[Xhel]

The wait haired elf shortly woke up. He managed to get up and sit down on the bed. He looked left and right and left out a sigh. He had an extremly bad headache which could compared to one of a hangover. Not that he knew feeling.(or me..)

"Where am I" He muttered looking around. "nuts..." It all came flashing back to him.
