Raku sat and watched all the new people that came in. She noticed the samurai with the blonde woman, and the dwarves sitting at the table. She then spotted Tsukasa.
Crap. He is here.
Raku started to look for an exit.

Kyosuke chuckles as he is forced to sit down, motioning quietly for the young woman to do the same. "Ah, I see. Covering up for your own folly by placing the blame on another? Such a shame, I thought you had more tact than that, Akaruri-san." The woman frowns just a bit, looking around in fear as other eyes, hateful eyes, begin to meet with hers. "Do not worry, little one," he looks to her, "These ones shall not lay a hand on you."

Zigler silently places the mug he was cleaning on the bar top as the newcomers sit in the booth with Aki and the silver masked one. Everyone is watching them, but Zigler pays closer attention to the female. How DARE one of those filthy wasters appear here, in MY Place!
He quickly reaches underneath the bar and takes out his sheathed knife, the same knife he used to chase away the insects who had infested the Inn before his coming.About the time Jed is halfway from the bar Zigler starts to run and jump over it, landing on his feet he continues to head towards the jovian, unsheathing the knife and then tossing the piece of leather away from him.
Zigler holds out the free hand, palm facing down and shouts, “Komm zu mir. Jetzt!”, the green crystal breaks through the floor and leaps into his hand. Down in the basement, Giggles can feel the magical bonds release him as the crystal above his head disappears with a loud crack. The Bard shouts again in the strange language, “Bind sie, füllen sie mit Schmerzen!” The crystals’ glow turns red as it fly’s through the air, impacting on the jovian’s forehead. She immediately goes limp in her seat, her face a contorted mask of pain, the crystal cube affixed to her forehead as if held in place by a strong glue.
Standing at the edge of the booth, knowing the hidden abilities of the individual he faces, Zigler points the knife at Kyosuke and demands, “Explain to me laddie why you brought the daughter of that trash into my place!” The entire Inn is silent, as if waiting for the masked man’s response as well.
The silence continues for a brief spell until Jed shots out again, “If ye be a dwarf, I got a drink fer ye!” The normal business of drinking and carousing soon continues about the Inn as the regular patrons get back to their important business.

Kyosuke looks more inconvenienced than worried as he stands, his hand resting comfortably on the hilt of his katana. "Interesting. There is more to you than I initially thought. Nevertheless, you have assaulted my servant, and that is something that I cannot allow. Her purpose here is of my concern, and not of anyone elses, save perhaps for Tatsumura-dono and Fuuma-dono. I would recommend releasing her from the spell you have cast, especially if you have a preference against a grisly end."
Kyosuke moves in between Zigler and the Woman, and the shadows that clung to him appeared to become darker, his very image becoming gradually less defined. It occured only for a moment before he released his gaze from Zigler and knelt down to look the woman over. "You shall be alright, Setsuko." He removes the mask covering his face and places it over her own face, then turns his attention back to Zigler, his left hand hiding itself within his kimono.

"Bah!! but ye dun had 2 fills on mah tab Dunhill!" "But ye done said dwarves drink fa'free!" jerking a newly filled mug out from under the offenders nose, spilling a good portion on the table in the process; Jherdar passed it along to a dwarf at another table "'Ey Dunhill, ya freeloader, clean dat up now!"pointing at that spilled ale.
Turning back to the crowd, Jherdar sang out again “If ye be a dwarf, I got a drink fer ye!”
Watching the spectacle unfolding between his dwarven brother and the recently arrived shogunite stooge, Jherdar snagged an empty mug and wandered back to the bar; hand resting on his coin pouch....which was conveniently near his blooding dagger.
One way or the other, he was preparing to pay the barkeep...

“Yea’d be surprised at some o’ the things I can be doin’ and at some of those who’d be helpin’ the likes o’ me.” Besides Jed, several other patrons and staff have kept a close eye on the group, all of them making sure their various weapons are within easy reach. “ But methinks yea forget yourself Kyosuke, “ the Inn Keeper continues, “for yer not in the Shogunate now, yea be in my place. And though me father’s father taught me to be kind to the guests,” Zigler’s knife now points at the girl, tears stream from her eyes, “ I will not have the likes o’ her being inside my home! Either you be leaving her outside, or, if’n I be asked kindly enough, By HER, mind you! She may stay.” Zigler slips the knife between his belt and body, then raises a hand, finger pointed to the sky and continues, as in fact old Cedric had himself to many a trouble maker, “Provided yea both be giving me her parole, and there be no weapons about her person while she be within these walls.”
With that the Bard opens his hand and speaks, “Nicht mehr die Schmerzen und helfen Sie Ihren Master die Wahrheit zu suchen.” The crystal glows green, and pained face of the girl, what can be seen of it, relaxes immediately, but the crystal remains attached to her forehead. “CARNETH!" Shouts the Inn Keeper, "Fetch a bowl of soup and a cup of saki for this……..lass. For either way, I’ll not be sending her out with an empty gut.” A short time passes as the girl recovers and Carneth arrives with the soup. Zigler looks back to Kyosuke and says,”As fer that grisly end ye be talking about, I’ve died once already and somehow lived to draw breathe into my body once again. Should I needs be going a second time…well..A wise dwarf once told me, near the end of his life, that he was prepared to meet his Maker, it merely remained to be seen whether or not this Maker be ready to see HIM.” The Bard looks over at the girl agian, who is sitting back up “Now lass, I believe that we were all about to share some words?”
With that Zigler sits down and Aki scoots over, the man in the silver mask continues to watch, silently.

Kyosuke stands up again, as does the girl. The girl kneels down before Zigler and begins to speak. "Honorable Dwarf...-sama," clearly a bit of discomfort showing the woman is unused to the Samurai honorifics, "If you would not mind, I wish to remain here by Kyosuke-kun's side. If not," she looked up to the Dwarf, a look of sincere hope in her eyes, "I will wait outside. Please, there is no reason for violence to occur because of me, especially in this time."
Kyosuke merely watched impassively. If these actions angered him in any way, he did a good job of hiding it.

Zigler looks down at the slight blond girl, noting the crystal's steady green glow helping him to denote her sincerity. "Your word that you will not bring a weapon upon your body within my house?"
The girl remains silent for a short while, he crystal's light flickering against her forehead. "I shall enter your house with no blade hidden on my body dwarf-sama." The crystal's returning steady glow convinces the dwarf.
Motioning for her to stand with his open hand, Zigler address the crystal cube, "Ihre Aufgabe ist es getan. Zurück zu meiner Hand und zufrieden sein." The crystal returns to his hand and its green light slowly fades.
Standing up Zigler says to the girl, "Young lady, by all means have a seat, and should ye have any o' those aforementioned weapons, I'm sure Aki will be willin' to hold on to them for yea. In the meantime I have ta see to the hole in the floor........and to any damage in the basement."

after watchiing this spectacle, he quickly looks back to his book, as he starts to now write about the barkeep, and the odd powers he had of using his crystal. He writes his descriptions in the tome along with the words he used in order to use the crystal. He immediatly afterwards started to write about the man, which darkness seemed to follow fluently, and obediently. after some time of writing, he casually sets the book down, and listens quietly until spoken to.

Tsukasa sat at watched the exchange. He remember hearing stories of the Jovians when he first came to Mittelmarch. He remember hearing how they took Mittelmarch, and then how the people took back Mittelmarch. He could understand the barkeeps reaction to seeing one of them in his Inn. What puzzled him is why the samurai kept her. Tsukasa decided to keep an eye on this strange samurai and the barkeep.

During the commotion between Ziggler, the blonde and Kyosuke, Raku slipped out of the inn. She saw a few people on the street so she decided to dodge behind a few buildings.
That was too close.

Giggles had just regained conscience when he sensed his ally near him. It took all of his dark power to absorbed her into the earth below. She appeared inside of the cellar.
"Welcome Voice. As you see I've been having some fun eavesdropping on the locals while pretending to be caught. Would you kindly release me from these shackles?"
He looked at her with his broken mask with black eyes that showed he wasn't truly asking

"Oh how has the mighty Giles-san has fallen." Raku taunted him. "I don't mind helping you, but if you ever pull me though the open earth again, I might have to withdraw my offer."
Raku looked at Giggles' bindings. She saw only one way to free him.
"Giles-san, this may hurt." She drew katana and sliced above each of the arms and leg restants.

A scream of pure pain and agony rang through out the cellar. As he fell his mind went blank. The orb apparently let him feel pain whether Zigler inflected it or not.
"Hehehehe..... You may have thought my purpose here was wasted but I heard about an attack being planed on the Jovians..... I want in on it. ... So much we can get from them, so many new warriors awaiting me......" He could barely speak above a whisper due to the pain he felt.
"Take the man on the butcher table, he may prove useful. Also know this, I maybe weak now but if I die you will have no allies here to guard you. So be mindful of your words before you speak to me in such a way again."
He rolled onto his back and passed out. As he did his stomach started to move as though he carried a new born within him.
The Jovian looked on in terror at Raku.

I may have no allies other then you, but you have shown some weakness. It is only a matter of time now.
Raku walked over to the Jovian on the table.
"I don't understand why he wants something as weak and worthless as you but he wants me to bring you with us so.....I guess I have no choice."
Raku gave the Jovian a smile before she knocked him out.
Now how to get everyone out with out being noticed.

Raku heard the muffle noise.
"What in the name of Fu Leng is that cursed noise?"
Raku started searching for the source of the sound. She looked in every conor of the room. She makes it back to Giggles' body
I swear if the barkeep put some type of spell on him, I will kill him.

Giggles stomach begins to move. Clear signs of small hands pressing out against the flesh is showing. They start to hit against the stomach as though trying to be set free.

Raku watch as the hands pushed agains Giggles' stomach.
"What type of strange magic is this?"
Raku puts Giggles on the table and pulles out her tanto. She starts to cut Giggles' stomach open.

As the flech is ripped away all that is revealed is a tumor. No liver, no guts, nothing but a ball of flesh covered in the black blood.
As Raku Blade works at it a human voice is heard.
"Have you come to free me? I want to be free of the taint the Lich has given me."
As it speaks the tumor has a small face developed from it and small hands. The face is of Giggles, without rot or evil touching him. His eyes show nothing but sadness as he looks on at Raku.
"If I help free you, will you help me in return?" the small pitiful form asked.

"Why should I help a pathtic reason for a being?" Raku looked at this strange thing. "I would rather kill you then help you."
Raku stood back for a moment with a thoughtful look on her face.
"I do have a problem with this lich though. He has shown weakness, and I can't follow someone who show weakness. What can you offer me?"

"Oh and one who can't escape from a cellar doesn't show weakness? Are you so held back like the peasants in thinking, to not realize when you are cornered? I can cast the spell that sent you through the earth. With your prisoner and Him as well. Or kill me and I'll make sure you don't leave this cellar alive."
His eyes still showed sadness but the pompousness of his voice carried through as clear as day.
"Care to call my bluff?"

Raku eyes started to glow green with the power of the tiant.
"Trust me, I can escape if I so choose. The only reason I've been stealthy about it is cause I'm trying to flow your will. You are giving me a little less reason to want to do it though. Maybe I should leave you hear in the hands of the barkeep. Better yet, maybe I should go ahead and kill you."
Raku brings her tanto right above the turmor.
"Give me a reason not to kill you."

"Cause if you do He will be as onto a god. For I'm the one holding back his power. Kill me and you will die in his wake. Escape and the barkeep kills me, and he will hunt you down and give you everlasting life with everlasting pain. The choice is yours now make it! Either kill me or move me to the bare earth down here!"
For the first time his eyes showed burning anger at this impudent upstart.

Raku pushes Giggles off the table, allowing him to fall to the floor.
"Oops, sorry about that."
Raku the puts the Jovian on the floor also.
"I guess I have no other choice."
