[QUOTE="talien, post: 2606354, member: 3285"] [b]Cast Upon Tides of Weal and Woe - Part 9e: A Vengeful Storm[/b] Vlad used the momentary distraction to roll out of Amalia’s range. When he rose, he was face-to-face with Broled. Their swords crashed into each other again. Beldin wrenched his axe out of the bleeding corpse that was once Locksan. He turned, only to be batted backwards by the mighty swing of Amalia’s flamberge. Unseen by all, a huge rat crawled its way out of the open sewer grate. It sat up on its hind legs and squeaked up at Bijoux. “The door!” she said, pointing at the door to an enclosed office. “Break it down!” The rat, easily the size of a man, darted between combatants and crates as it made its way to the door. Zainat backed himself into a corner, trying to watch everyone at once. He hadn’t fired a shot. “Come on out, Cam. I got a bullet with yer name on it.” “It’s pronounced kai-EM!” shouted Kham as he hung over the window, twenty feet up, both handgonnes aimed at Zainat. BLAM! BLAM! Zainat whirled but not in time. Two bullet holes pierced his jacket. He lay flat on his back, staring upwards at Kham. “I jest got one word fer ya,” Zainat spat blood. “[FONT=Impact]Jump.[/FONT]” Against every measure of common sense and instinct, Kham did as he was told. He threw himself out of the window…and was pulled taut as the rope suspended him in the air. Kham thanked Althares that he thought to tie himself before diving through the window. The giant rat began gnawing its way through the door hinges to the office. “Lahk shootin’ fish inna barrel,” said Zainat as he took aim with his black flintlock. Then one of the fish giants smashed him to a pulp. The dire rat threw its weight against the door and it fell inwards. Bijoux glided down into the doorway. Camring and Emric were tied up and gagged, back to back, on a stool. Bijoux hesitated, looking back and forth between the two. Ilmarė ran in behind her. “Grab one of them!” she said. The Elorii hoisted one of the boys over her shoulder, she couldn’t tell which, and ran out of the warehouse. Bijoux grabbed the remaining boy and followed suit. Inside the warehouse, Beldin blocked a strike from Broled. “Beldin!” shouted Vlad, dragging the unconscious and bloody body of Cal behind him. “We are leaving!” Beldin took a step backwards. Broled began to pursue, but then the dwarf pointed behind him. “You’ve got bigger problems,” he said. Broled turned just in time to face down the rampaging fish giant. “Oh VHIT,” were the last words he got out before he died. [/QUOTE]
