[QUOTE="talien, post: 2000456, member: 3285"] [b]The Seeds of Our Destruction - Part 5a: An Unruly Mob[/b] Ilmarė held herself tightly as Aquillus headed off to report to his superiors. They stood at the front of the taverna. "Are you sure you're alright?" asked Quintus. "I'm fine," said Ilmarė. She kept the details of her vision to herself. "Worry more about the wallflowers inside." Her warning was followed by the sound of shattering glass. A bottle skittered across the road. Kham and Vlad exchanged glances. Kham took out both of his gonnes and nodded. Vlad kicked the door open. The scene within was one of volatile chaos. At one end of the room, with their backs to the Larissan shrine, was Hetshapet protecting her younger sister Maatkare. Surrounding them was an unruly mob. Some shouted accusations. Others had broken bottles in their hands. The bartender lay in a heap on the floor between both groups, a large gash across his forehead. Sebastian stepped forward and began gesticulating. "I'll take care of this." Kham lowered Sebastian's arms with one of his handgonnes. "Oh no you don't. I'm not having you casting spells in here." "She is to blame for the disappearances!" someone shouted. "She must answer for her crimes!" Quintus raised his voice. "Excuse me, but…" "All the men who vanished had communed with Maatkare, it must be her!" someone else shouted. "If you would all just…" Quintus shouted. "Let's kill her now before she takes anyone else!" a third shouted. Quintus threw up his hands in disgust. He nodded towards Kham. Kham pointed both of his handgonnes at the ceiling. BLAM! BLAM! The crowd went silent and turned to look at them. Wood and dust fell from the ceiling. Kham looked around at them and smiled, his handgonnes still smoking. "Much better," said Quintus. "Now we're going to leave with the two ladies. The murders are being investigated. But this is not the way to handle it." The mob warily edged back from the two women. Sebastian ushered them out of the taverna. Vlad closed the door behind them as they left. "That's how you get results through the magic of intimidation," Kham said to Sebastian. [/QUOTE]
