[IRP] The Dead One Calls

[Swift_Assassin]

Taika began to stir after Eli ran off. The first thing she noticed was that she wasn't at the inn anymore. Her last conscious memory was her downing a drink the nice innkeep made for her. She pushed herself up, so that she was sitting on the ground. She looked around and noticed the bodies surrounding her. Maisie was a couple feet away from her, her face rather bruised and cut up. She turned back and saw two men on the ground in a heap. "Huh?"

She heard running in the distance and saw that red headed boy running back towards the inn. Why did he just leave them here? She looked around some more and saw another pair. A metal goliath, at least from her perspective, and a lithe woman standing behind him. Everything was confusing to her. Like there was some thick fog in her mind she was trying to see through. She resisted the galdyr enough, so whatever happened to her wasn't some magic. She looked down at the ground, realization on her face. "H-he...drugged me."

She tried to get up, but fell back down on her butt. She grabbed at her scarf and could barely get a firm grip on it. "E-Excuse me. Uh...sir? Miss? Could you, uh, assist me and my, uh, friend here? Could you help us back to the inn? Just follow that boy, he's, uh, part of our traveling group." Taika struggled to put together the words. The situation was still affecting her. "My friend is still, uh, out of it. And that...damn...innkeep drugged me. I-I don't think it's run it's course yet. Could you help us?"
