A Hunt For Ravens!

[*Selebius]

The Assassin Demon listens to them his eyes darting between them- perhaps its mind is already planning agin.

******************************************************************

The rat squeals as the Panther pounces on it, wiggles and squirms to get free but as it realizes it cannot escape this way its body starts to shift, getting lean and morehumanoid the fur falling off and leathery wings sprout from its back as at the same time horns sprout from its skull like head.

[*Kiuna]

Gasping, Kiuna takes a step back, calling out to Anacail to let go, but the panther keeps its hold on the turning rat, unsheathing its massive claws to make sure the thing won't get away.

Fear tries to gnaw its way into Kiuna, but she does her best to shake it off, as she slowly advances on her friend and his prey, keeping a firm grip on her staff for strength and balance.

[*Selebius]

"Call it back!! Call it back!! I am not that tasty and if it eats me I will claw my way out of its belly! I tell you!"

The quasit struggles, tries to claw at Anacail but pinned to the ground it cannot do much to harm the panther.

The creature seems terrified but of course being a demon it is no stranger to situations like this, switching between groveling or begging and sputtering threats several times.

[*StarSight]

"I'd like to ask more but perhaps this isn't the best place or time. Right now I can think of at least one more target of these assassins, so time is short..." Verdant suddenly has an idea and his head turns to the kelvezu. "Are the other two Kelvezu as well?"

[*Kiuna]

A little confused, Kiuna edges closer, putting her hand on Anacail's back, but he doesn't seem about to let the small demon up. The panther growls angrily at his prey, keeping it pinned down and digging his claws in a little deeper to make sure the quasit doesn't manage to escape.

"Who are you?" Kiuna finally asks, her voice only a little shaky. "What do you want?" Then she feels a little stupid, already knowing what it wants, and she amends, "Leave us alone! Or-Or Anacail can-can kill you..."

Anacail growls, disaggreeing, clearly wanting to finish off the winged creature.

[*Selebius]

The demon glances at Emila then looks at Verdant, deciding to answer before it is forced to do so by his captor.

"One is a Babau, the other one a Quasit. Trash, both of them."


*************************************************************

The creature squirms, its skin quite resistant to the claws and what gashes they rip into the leathery skin heal quickly.

"I am Chextropheltraceen. Master Assassain. Future Master Assassin. And I want you dead of course- I was told to kill you because you.... did something."

[*Kiuna]

Kiuna looks worriedly down at the thing under Anacail's strong paws. "Well... Yes, I did. I returned things to the way they are supposed to be..."

She leans in on her staff, her leg cramping for a moment, then she sighs. "What will it take for you to not kill us, then?"

Anacail turns his large head to look incredulously at her. He is clearly the one who's about to kill someone, not the other way around. Kiuna just shakes her head and looks down at the small demon.

[*Selebius]

"I want my life! And... and safe passage to the Abyss. And also that you keep me safe from my former employer while I am in Sigil!"

The Quasit boldly states its terms despite it being still pinned down by the panther's claws, its tiny eyes cunning and alert.

[*Kiuna]

Kiuna nods a little, "Your life is yours."

Anacail stares at her, dumbfounded.

She shrugs, "He's only following his nature, my friend. Who are we to punish him for that." She returns her attention to the quasit, ignoring the panther's annoyed grunt. "And your way to the Abyss is yours to take as well. As for protection, that you will have to deal with yourself. If you can kill people, you can defend yourself too." She tilts her head a little, eyeing the demon expectantly.

[*Midnight]

Emila turns to the Kelvezu.

"Come on you have work to be doing fetch us someone to answer our questions."
