If anyone is actually reading this, thank you. Sorry for taking so long with this chapter.
Last time: I got some gear and went to sleep.
Now:
I woke up to the sound of something large hitting wood and panicked yells. I jumped up from my little bed in the Prancing Pony Inn (which is an awful name), grabbed my sword, and gathered a little bit of fire in my other hand. I carefully peaked out of my tiny room, and saw the biggest orc I had ever seen with a battleaxe to match. He must have been about seven and a half feet tall, with heavy plate armor and burning red eyes. Literally burning. I didn't know much about orcs, but that probably wasn't good. I hoped he wasn't paying attention to me, and snuck up behind him as he turned to yell at more people
"Where is the mercenary?" The orc shouted in a voice that could shatter rocks considering that half of the bar seemed to splinter. There was definitely something magical going on with this guy, but I didn't want to wait to find out. I was about to shove my sword through a gap in his armor, I must have stepped on a loose board, because the orc whirled around and swung his axe at my head. I managed to duck under his swing at the last second, and got my left hand up to his face, holding the fire to it. His flesh began to burn and melt, and I put just a bit more magic into the spell to make it stick to his face as I moved away. As dropped his axe to clutch at the burning ruin where his face was, I gripped my sword with both hands and swung it as hard as I could at the top of his head. The blade cut about three inches in, and extinguished the fire on his face. A mix of blood and other fluids leaked from his head as I pulled out my sword. I proceeded to search his body for any indication of who he worked for, and after finding nothing, briefly collapsed on the floor.
"I think you might need to leave." The barkeep said after a few minutes. "If that guy was looking for you, more might be. I don't want any more trouble under my roof, and you obviously aren't safe here." I simply nodded
Again, kind of short, but whatever. Sorry for taking so long, I just couldn't find time to write.
