City Under Siege: Part 2 – We Are Under Attack!
Kham awakened from his slumber to the sounds of a deckhand screaming out in alarm. Rushing topside, he saw a fleet of barbarian longships moving rapidly through the light mist.
Kham called to his first mate. “How many?”
“Ten, sir, at least, but there are probably more.”
“They’re trying to block off the harbor. We need to open it up so the other ships can get out. Ready the cannons!”
“Readying the cannons!”
Kham turned. “Keep firing, clear that path! I’ll be back.”
“Where are you going sir?
“To warn the others.” He concentrated…
And he was back in the Sea Lord’s Palace. Sebastian and Beldin had just finished arming themselves.
“So you’ve heard?” asked Kham.
“About the orcs?” Beldin fired back.
“Wait, what?”
“The orcs. Over five hundred of them are rioting. They’re on their way to the Fortress of Justice to protest Scarbelly’s imprisonment.”
“No, not that. Barbarian ships are in the harbor! The Divine Fury is engaging them but we’ve got to let the others know.”
Beldin picked up Windcutter. “I’ll deal with the orcs.”
“Deal with greenbacks?” Kham snorted. “Good luck with that.”
“With any luck, we can make them see reason,” said Beldin. He stumped out the door.
Kham turned to Sebastian. “What about you?
The dark kin unfolded his wings with a flourish. “I’m going to go fire Freeport’s siege cannons. On the enemy, for once.”
And with that he flew out of the entrance to the Sea Lord’s Palace.
“Dey’ve got style,” said Zoltan in Kham’s head. “I’ll give dem that!”
