Chapter Five - The Chase
Having arrived at a burning Farshore, the Sea Wyverns have split up to deal with the various threats they've identified. Daerith has taken it upon himself to rescue the woman being chased by a disgusting-looking half-orc.

The Chase - Round 3
Daerith bolts over toward the nasty half-orc chasing the local woman, getting to the site of the chase in record time. Just as he does, the woman rounds the corner, sees him approaching, screams even louder, and slinks over to put her back to the building she's been running around. "You won't get me," she says, pulling a knife from her belt. "I'll die before I submit to any of you pirates!"

Re: The Chase - Round 3
Daerith comes running, having drawn his blade as he moves, "I am Daerith Amyln, Leader of the Sea Wyvern, and fiend to Lavina Vanderboren. We only just arrived, these pirates will meet their end at the point of my blade! Get down, this dog is about to die!" He then races round the house the way the woman came, as he turns the corner he spys the pirate, "You! You've come to a bad end pirate!" He leaps forward, blindingly fast, his blade leaping out to take the head of the man, no parley, no quarter, just a lighting strike as Torothalion is flickering with flame.

The Chase - Round 4
Daerith offers a quick reassurance to the woman. At first it does little good. But at the name 'Lavinia Vanderboren,' she seems to relax, at least a little. Or at least her terror goes down by a notch. This is enough for Daerith who spins around the building at lightning speed, bringing Torothalion down on the half-orc's shoulder, giving it a solid cut and burning the wound at the same time.
"Oh, so you want a piece of her?" the pirate asks. "There's enough of her to go around. You can have her after I'm finished with her." Then, seeing that won't fly, he raises his scimitar and swings at Daerith. But the magus is ready for the attack and easily deflects it.
With the woman nowhere to be seen, Daerith acts again.

"I'm not here for her, I'm here for you Crimson Pirate! What do you want in Far Shore, who's your Captain?" He ducks the scimitar of the man and spins around his side, trying to push him toward the building some to keep him off balance. His blade now moving at even greater speeds turns cold as well as hot! The flames become blue burning with frostbiting cold, and Daerith is in a bit of a rage, ready to end this man, "You'll not live to regret coming here." Torothalion slices out over and over again...

Daerith replies that he's here to save the woman, not share her with a foul pirate like him. Anvil replies with the laugh of someone used to being at the top of the food chain. "There won't be enough of you left when I'm finished with you for Slipknot Peet to even know you were a pointy-eared elf." He smiles. "That is, unless I cut your ears off when I'm done and give them to him."
The half-orc is arrogant. But he's never faced a skilled magus before. And Daerith shows him why he should have been afraid. With three criss-crossing swipes of Torothalion, he completely eviscerates the half-orc pirate. The first strike is low, cutting into his side; the second catches him in the shoulder, spinning him around and nearly cutting his arm off completely; and the third is a gory wound that opens up Anvil's neck, causing blood to spray everywhere, though Daerith is deft enough to step out of the way of the red fountain. The magus is prepared for a final strike to the head, but before he can manage that, the lifeless body of the half-orc falls to the ground.
Though Daerith can't see the woman from where he's standing, he can hear the sounds of fighting from the town square and battering of a door at the chapel.

Daerith spits on the pirate, and looks down at him for a moment. Then with voice raised high he shouts for the woman to hear, "THE PIRATE SCUM IS DEAD! TELL YOUR FRIENDS THE SEA WYVERNS ARE HERE! HOPE IS NOT LOST! FARSHORE WILL NOT FALL!" There is no time to loot the man, so he turns, the flames on his blade turning black with power and he races off to join Berek and Wavedancer in the middle of town near the temple and the well.

Re: The Chase - Round 4
Shouting that the pirate is dead and Farshore will not fall, and hoping that the woman hears it, Daerith rushes on to the chapel, where some pirates were trying to bash down the door with a ram.
