Interacting With Acillio Nazzaro │ Aurra │ Galen │ Samson Jadik
______________________
The last group of sailors still in the tavern rushed over, almost pushing Aurra aside as they collectively rested their burly hands on the ring and pulled. Their synchronization spoke ages to their time working together on ships, a heavy groan giving way as the cellar’s hinges desperately tried to remain at rest; quickly followed by the majority of the sailors quickly moving to the basement with fists raised, and alcohol bottles in tow. It seemed even in danger, they knew where their priorities were.
Douglas glanced to the alcohol covered eyes of the spider that Aurra had gracefully managed to hit with the bottle of high alcohol spirit, lifting a hand as he swallowed hard. It’d been a long time since he’d used his magic in a truly offensive manner, and the idea of such didn’t come easily to the boy; but the danger they were in, and the inhuman nature of the massive beast was enough to help alleviate whatever apprehensions he had. A crackle moved between his fingers before lighting tore from his finger tip and lashed out at the spider, arcing between its legs faster than the blink of an eye. The alcohol spread over it by Aurra only a moment before forced it to ignite, filling the room with a terrifying death howl of a spider that up until this point had made nothing but aggressive chattering and clicks; though it filled the tavern with a new source of heat despite it all.
With some satisfaction at revenge, Douglas quickly forced himself to move towards the cellar. His legs threatened to give out with each step, still unable to regain their full effectiveness, and with knees wobbly, he tripped down the last few stairs, landing ungracefully on his shoulder near the bottom, giving out a soft groan as he tried to come to terms with his mistake.
The prior sailors who had disappeared up the steps only a moment before followed only a moment after, carrying with them two massive chests, though both seemed to be carried by the same large individual. His expression was apathetic, despite the growing tension of the situation, but it was slightly comforting to see someone so calm. The other, a bit more of a wiry fellow, quickly closed the cellar door behind him and latched it shut; ensuring nobody from above would be able to disturb them.
“Where now?”, he asked the group.
In the same motion, the massive individual carrying the chests set them down and opened each in turn. Inside, swords of all sizes, daggers, even a few pieces of leather armor; whatever their purpose once being, now redone for the sake of everyone now faced with danger. He grunted, as if to get the group’s attention, before pointing to his collection.
“I’d stack up while we got a chance. Can’t imagine this will be easy…”, the one now sitting on the cellar stairs offered.
