Placing the key into the padlock, Tavi turns it and hears a satisfying click. Pushing open the door, she steps inside. The place is completely trashed. Furniture has been overturned and smashed, and drawers have been pulled out of dressers, and their contents spilled onto the floor.

There are also two men inside, both wearing studded leather armor and heavily armed. One has black hair and an eye-patch, the other has spiked brown hair. The eye-patched one was in the process of cutting open a throw pillow and the brown haired one was searching through a cabinet. Both stop immediately upon Tavi's entrance, standing there completely frozen in surprise.

==========

Surprise Roll - (1d10): 2, surprised.

"You know, the guard is on the way," Tavi says after she overcomes the initial shock of seeing two men ransacking poor Poot's home. "I helped him take out your friend last night when they attacked Poot," she adds as she pulls out her mace, and charges at the man with the eye patch.

Dmg Roll (7)

Although battered and without her armor, Tavi draws her mace alone and strikes the man with the eye-patch in the head. He goes down suddenly, bleeding from the wound. The other man, snapping out of his surprise, unsheathes his short sword. "You'll pay for that, sweetheart," he says menacingly.

"Maybe," Tavi says. "Why are you people doing this? Isn't it bad enough that you all ready killed him?" she asked as she moved in to attack the other man.

Initi Roll, Hit Roll (10, 3)

"You're in over your head," the second man says. He kicks at Tavi's legs, but she hops back to avoid it. He runs past her, but she hits him in the ribs with her mace. Although he staggers, he remains on his feet and runs out the door.

(OOC: Do you attempt to pursue or let him go?)

Tavi starts to pursue him, but she stops short. Knowing her wounds, she doubts that she'll make it very far in the end. The important thing is that the guy is out of the house. With a small sigh, she searches the guy with the eye patch that she took out.

Aside from the studded leather armor he is wearing, Tavi finds a light crossbow, 24 quarrels, a short sword, a club, a dagger, and 3 gp.

Tavi pockets the three gp, before she has a look around the house. "What were they looking for?"

Searching around a little, Tavi finds an old, battered helmet on the ground. Did this once belong to Poot, when he was an adventurer?

Tavi picks up the helmet to look it over curiously before she continues to rummage around the place. She couldn't help but believe that the thieves were looking for something specific, though she really wish she knew what it was.

Tossing the helmet aside, she continues looking. Underneath an old rug, she finds a hastily scrawled note. Unfortunately, Tavi cannot read, so she has no idea what it says. Could it be important?

Tavi picks up the scrap of paper and pockets it for the time being. She'll find someone that can read it. Is there anything else within the home, Poot's bedroom, or anywhere that might be considered important?

Searching under Poot's bed, Tavi finds an old chamber pot (ugh), but also spots a gold ring with a red gemstone set in it.

Tavi pushes aside the chamber pot, and takes the gold ring. While it looks valuable, it could also be something else for all she knows. She pockets that away for safe keeping too. Deciding she has probably found everything there is to find, Tavi heads back to the inn.

Tavi walks out of Poot's, leaving the now dead body of the man she killed behind. The other one got away, and there's no telling if he plans to return or not, or what. Deciding not to worry about it, she walks back to the inn and steps inside, finding the same group of people that was there when she first left earlier.
