[QUOTE="talien, post: 4279381, member: 3285"] [b]Baumann's Prize: Prologue[/b] As they stepped outside and made their way through the streets, they were greeted with a Freeport in varied states of wakefulness. There seemed to be a change in the quality of the air. It felt more energetic and alive—and tense. Ilmarė sighed, loudly. “Great,” she said. “Orcs.” There was a long line of orcs emerging carrying cargo cross the street. “I’ve heard that the city needs cheap labor to assist with several construction projects.” Beldin watched the orcs tromping around in droves. “But I never thought they meant this cheap.” Evidently, some of the street toughs also disliked the arrangement; several of them shot malicious glares at the passing line of orcs. A sudden silence descended on the proceedings. An orc had fallen to his knees, clasping a gushing head wound. A large rock lay beside him like an admission of guilt. “Uh oh,” said Vlad. After a few seconds, an orc companion threatened the crowd with his pickaxe. “Who threw that?” he demanded. From the crowd came an answering challenge. “What are you gonna do about it, green-skin?” “Let’s get out of here,” said Sebastian. “Before somebody gets— Kham shouted a challenge. “Get the hell out of Freeport, no good greenies! Stop taking our jobs!” “—violent,” finished Sebastian. Then fists started flying. Kham ducked underneath a clumsy swing and spun around to wave his companions on. Vlad looked around. “I think we lost Beldin.” There was a loud bellow and the sound of a bone-crunching impact. An orc and a human slumped to the ground. Beldin stepped over him. “Never mind, I found him.” [/QUOTE]
