[QUOTE="talien, post: 4297090, member: 3285"] [b]Baumann's Prize: Part 4 – Basement Storage[/b] The stairs led down into a large, dank room with a dirt floor. In the center of the room was a tall, iron candelabrum with ten lit candles. The scant light produced by the tapers caused shadows to dance about the room. Scattered throughout the area were numerous crates, barrels, boxes and sacks. “Count to five,” whispered Kham to Sebastian from seemingly nowhere. “Then do what you do best…besides charming women.” Beldin burst open the door. “Knock, knock!” he roared. Several unsavory-looking men wielding cutlasses greeted Beldin at the foot of the stairs. “ONE!” shouted Beldin. He batted aside a cutlass with his axe and shoved the man backwards with the haft. Kham catapulted himself over the sea dogs heads and landed in the midst of them. But they couldn’t see him, and they were far too preoccupied with the angry dwarf at the foot of the stairs. “TWO!” Two more sea dogs struggled to take on the living wall that was Beldin. He smashed one in the face with his shield and hacked the other one back down the steps, cleaving his cutlass in the process. An effeminate-looking elorii in swashbuckling grab stood safely at the side of the stairs, egging his companions on. Near as Kham could tell, he provided no value whatsoever. “THREE!” A fourth sea dog lunged, only to have his cutlass caught by the wicked curve of Beldin’s axe. The dwarf twisted and the man spun sideways. Kham ducked his head into a rectangular room. A long table with many chairs dominated the center, while double bunk beds lined the walls. It was the crew’s quarters. Kham closed the door. “FOUR!” Beldin had yet to actually move from the steps. One sea dog hurled his cutlass in frustration. It bounced off Beldin’s shield. Kham ducked inside one room when the elorii wasn’t looking. It had beautiful rugs adorning the floors and was lit with golden candlesticks. There was a plush couch along one wall, a carved wooden armoire, and a comfortable-looking bed. “Must be a woman’s quarters,” said Kham. Then he realized it was probably the elorii’s. “FIVE!” Beldin just crossed his arms and waited. The sea dogs froze, unsure of what he was up to. “[FONT=Impact]Incendiaries globus![/FONT]” shouted Sebastian. As the flames engulfed them, they figured it out pretty quickly. [/QUOTE]
