[QUOTE="talien, post: 2998917, member: 3285"] [b]Death in Freeport - Part 9: Treasury[/b] “Now what?” said Kham, his features concealed in shadow by the flickering torchlight. “We just keep walking until something kills us?” “This is clearly a passageway the ssanu use to move from place to place,” said Dril. “If we follow it, we may be able to find the heart of the Pit.” “I’m not so sure I WANT to find the heart of this Pit,” said Kham. “There’s just four of us, remember?” “Speak for yourself,” said Vlad. “I’ll take on whatever these snakes can dish out.” Ilmarė agreed with him. “If the ssanu are here in Freeport, then they are more powerful than we imagined. If we don’t stop them here, they may spread.” “Better to cut off the head of the viper in its lair,” said Dril. “Oh, very symbolic,” said Kham. He leaned on part of the tunnel. “You guys go ahead and kill yourselves. Let me know how it works ouAAAAH!” A piece of the tunnel slid away behind Kham, opening into another room. Kham fell into a garish purple curtain and promptly found himself wrapped up in it. Kham felt blindly in front of him. His fingers touched cold metal. “That’s a chest!” he shouted. “This is their treasure room!” “Whoa,” said Vlad behind him, peering into the room. “Good job.” The sound of clattering of bones surrounded Kham. He stretched out his fingers again. This time he felt something cold and rough. “You may want to move back, Kham,” said Ilmarė. Kham tugged the cloth from his face, just in time to see a bastard sword swing down at his head. He ducked and rolled, coming up next to a chest. There were four skeletal corpses, all armed with swords and shields. They turned to advance on the others. Kham whipped his dagger out… …and immediately set to using the lockpicks hidden in the pommel to pick the lock of one of the chests. “Kham, what are you doing?” asked Ilmarė as she ducked a clumsy swing. “Shoot them!” “You guys can handle those things,” said Kham. There was a gratifying click as he twisted the dagger in the lock. “I’ll take care of the chests.” “We’ve been broke for awhile,” said Vlad. He blocked a sword blow with his shield. “He spent it all on potions. And alcohol.” “Remind me to hurt him later,” said Ilmarė. [/QUOTE]
