[QUOTE="talien, post: 2955574, member: 3285"] [b]Death in Freeport - Part 4d: The Bloody Vengeance[/b] Inside the Rusty Hook, the orcs kept singing. Scarbelly was leading the chorus. “Got dis staff from Kenzil, we’re keepin' 't safe! Yo, ho, he pays really well! I’m wearin' nay loincloth an' these britches chafe! Yo, ho, he does really smell! We tookst up this freak an' pillaged some towns! Yo, ho, he pays really well! Four voyages later an' he’s still around! Yo, ho, he’s really nay well! He asked me some questions an' I told 'im nay lies! Yo, ho, he’s really nay well! But th' fool saw 't all wi' his own bloody eyes! Yo, ho, he can go t' hell!” The pirates erupted into drunken cheers. Vlad made it a point of buying them a steady supply of drinks. Whenever the orcs’ interest seemed to lag, Ilmarė would whip them up into a frenzy. She hopped from table to table, sloshed ale around in mugs, and occasionally winked at Scarbelly. She was…acting like a pirate wench. Vlad was agog. Then a huge, muscular orc ran in. He was wearing a chain shirt and little else. “Intruder!” he shouted. “What’s wrong wi’ ye! I`ve been shoutin' t' th' rooftops!” The singing stopped. Ilmarė hopped down from the table. “What th' hell be wrong wi' YOU?” shouted Scarbelly. “We be jus' havin' some fun wi' that juicy morsel o'er there,” said the captain. His tongue licked one of his protruding fangs as he looked Ilmarė up and down. “Thar be an intruder in me room!” shouted Aggro, the first mate. “I saw th' lad wi' me own eyes!” “This better nay be another one o' yer bad dreams,” said Scarbelly. “Shut up! 't wasn’t about seagulls!” shouted Aggro, who towered over Scarbelly. Scarbelly took up his axe. “Fine, we’ll check 't ou'. You,” he pointed at Ilmarė. “Ye wait right here. I’ll be back fer ye.” Ilmarė blanched, but nodded. The orcs stumbled out of the Rusty Hook. Vlad watched them make their way to the Bloody Vengeance. “Should we help Kham?” “At this point,” said Ilmarė, “I think we need to help ourselves.” A few seconds later a bell rang loudly from the Bloody Vengeance. “Time to go!” said Ilmarė. She skidded to the front door. An archer from the crow’s nest of the ship drew a bead on her. Ilmarė ducked as an arrow shivered in the Rusty Hook’s door, where her head had been. She dashed off down the docks, clearing a shipping crate with one leap. Vlad, in full plate armor, struggled to do the same. Ilmarė turned as he scrabbled over the crate like a crab. “Stupid human,” she yanked Vlad over the top of the crate. He fell on the other side as arrows thudded around them. “When are you going to learn to stop wearing such heavy armor?” An arrow KA-TANGED off of his armor. “When people stop shooting things at me,” said Vlad. Then they took off into the heart of Freeport. [/QUOTE]
