[QUOTE="talien, post: 2883311, member: 3285"] [b]Assault Upon the Gate of Tears - Part 3: The House That Lucius Built[/b] Holden led them up to the next tier, the city proper. Buildings of all sizes and architectural styles crowded thoroughfares that haphazardly opened up into plazas before spiraling away as streets, alleyways, and narrow dogtrots. Heading off towards the east, Holden followed a path that meandered for quite a few miles. Their disguises helped shield them from the curious. “Nobody makes eye contact,” said Vlad. Everyone they passed in the various squares and plazas did their best to remain as inconspicuous as possible. “It’s a way of life here,” said Holden. “It’s best to avoid attention from Harvesters, even in their homeland.” The drizzle became a small deluge as they arrived at their destination. There, on the outskirts of the city, surrounded by a high stone wall, was the personal villa of Lucious Orata, Master of the Ordainers. A wooden gate was the most obvious means of entry. Quintus pushed it open. Beyond was a well-kept lawn and a Coryani-style manse. “Interesting,” said Holden. “Looks like Orata liked Coryani so much he recreated it here.” “Yeah, real interesting,” said Kham. A marbled portico, held by many fluted columns, surrounded the southern and eastern sides of the villa. The manse itself was a two-story affair, with formidable bronze double doors filling the main entrances. “No windows,” said Vlad. “It’s built like a fortress.” Kham walked up to the door and pulled a dagger from the folds of his robe. “I’ll take care of this.” The hilt of the dagger popped out to reveal connected lockpicks. Kham inserted a series of them into the lock, one after the other. After a series of clicks and snaps, the door sprung open. Kham smirked over his shoulder. “Piece of CAAAAH!” Two large claws yanked him through the doorway and out of sight. [/QUOTE]
