[QUOTE="talien, post: 4027299, member: 3285"] [b]Terror in Freeport - Part 1i: The Sea Lord’s Palace[/b] Another fellow joined Vlad, Thuron, Baldric, and Hector at the table. “Be havin’ enough room fer another sea dog?” Baldric grinned widely. “Of course! We haven’t seen you in awhile, Brock. Have you met our resident hero, Vlad?” The overweight Brock wore a black tricorn, white hose, and black pants. He flumped into a seat. “Nay personally,” he said, grabbing another mug. “But I know enough about th' lad t' drink wi' him.” Vlad smiled uncertainly back at him. He wasn’t accustomed to so much attention. Brock took a long swig from his drink while Baldric and Hector discussed the legends about the dreaded Cult of Leviathan. “Speakin' o' cults,” said Brock, “I think I’ve stumbled upon something.” “Oh?” asked Thuron. Hector looked distinctly uncomfortable. “Can I speak wi' ye, Vlad?” He glanced over his shoulder to see Baldric and Thuron leading forward intently. “Alone?” Vlad excused himself and left the table with Thuron. When they were in one of the sitting rooms, Brock took off his hat. “I know ye’ve jus' met me, but I felt ye be me best hope. I think ye understand that…thar’s a situation wi' th' lighthouse. I think ye can appreciate that.” Vlad nodded. “I sure can.” “I tell ye, lad, th' lighthouse be a powerful, magical device. I think th' Sea Lord plans t' use 't t' summon an army o' monsters t' attack th' mainland an' brin' glory t' Freeport. But I don’t think he can control 't. I don’t know if he can dictate what comes through th' gate, or e'en control what comes ou' o' it.” Vlad was taken aback. He suspected something was wrong with the lighthouse, but nothing as drastic as Brock described. “Have you spoken to anyone about this?” “I tried once,” said Brock. He scratched the top of his bald pate. “Drac threatened t' kill me whole family. `Tis got me up nights, that`s th' truth.” “What do you plan to do?” Brock began to pace with his arms behind his back. “Th' right decision.
