[QUOTE="talien, post: 3943744, member: 3285"] [b]Terror in Freeport - Part 3: Stonewalling[/b] They worked their way through side streets until coming upon the rotting hovel that once held a terrible secret. It hadn’t changed much since they saw it last—a one-story structure of knotted plans with bricks for windows. The only difference was the street scene. Three soldiers were standing guard at the front entrance. Bijoux landed lightly at the top of the bricked up house. She pointed downwards with one claw. The fihali had tracked the boy’s scent to this location. Sebastian stepped up to the three guardsmen. “Let us pass.” “Says who?” asked the leader of the guardsmen. Sebastian squinted at the armband on the guardsman’s left arm. A “V” was superimposed on the city seal. He hesitated for a moment. “Chief Councilor Verlaine,” interjected Vlad. “Yes,” Sebastian repeated. “Verlaine.” Sebastian indicated the large ss’ressen and the stumpy dwarf that flanked him on either side. “I’m not going to ask you again. Let us pass. We are in pursuit of a criminal. Surely, you saw him run through here.” The guards exchanged looks. “You are wasting precious time,” snarled Sebastian, all business. “Or we can just report to Verlaine that you delayed us in apprehending a fugitive.” Finally, the leader nodded and let them pass. Inside the former temple, not much had visibly changed. Bijoux was sniffing the ground while Kham kicked up dust. “How did you two get here so fast?” asked Sebastian. “Secret entrance around the back,” said Kham. “I flew in through a hole in the roof,” said Bijoux. “Look here. There are faint footprints and marks on the floor.” There were pinpoint holes in the dust where toes should be, indicating keenly sharp claws and big, sweeping grooves that could only be made by a tail. Kham looked down. “And they’re clearly not human.” “Now what?” asked Vlad. “Now we go to my favorite place,” said Kham. “And that is?” asked Sebastian. Kham walked down the steps out of sight. “The wine cellar.” [/QUOTE]
