[QUOTE="talien, post: 5031380, member: 3285"] [b]Crisis in Freeport: Part 5 – The Sea God’s Shrine[/b] Sebastian landed in front of the Temple of Cadic. It was ransacked and damaged. Shouts of terror and sadistic glee came from within. Sebastian laid Beldin’s body at the entrance and walked inside, unafraid. The place was a wreck. A dwarf held a beaten Father Peg-Leg by the hair, blood trailing from the old man’s mouth. “Let him go,” said Sebastian. “I need him.” “And who the hell be ye?” snarled the dwarf. “That doesn’t matter. What matters is you let him go and I might let you live.” Four thugs stepped out from the pews, battleaxes in their hands. “Bow yer head!” snarled the dwarf. “Ye be in the presence o’ royalty! I be Bloody Jack, King o’ the Cutthroats.” “I bow to no man,” said Sebastian calmly. “This is your last chance.” “Funny,” said the dwarf. “I was thinkin’ the same thing. Get ‘im boys.” The four thugs converged on the dark-kin at once. One of the thugs swung a battleaxe at Sebastian’s head. He put one hand up and caught the axe in his open palm. The gang member looked at his weapon in shock. “I came prepared,” said Sebastian with a smirk. “Did you?” ”He can’t stop ye all!” shouted Bloody Jack. “Tackle ‘im!” The dark-kin snapped out his wings, bashing two of the thugs aside. But the remaining two grabbed him by the arms. Sebastian’s tail snaked around and the stinger struck one of the thug’s under the chin. Poisoned pumped directly into his brain. The thug gurgled, eyes rolling his head, and fell over. BLAM! Sebastian flew backwards from the blast, his head hitting a pew. Had he not cast his protective spells first, he would have died from the bullet. Instead, it merely stunned him. Bloody Jack stood with a smoking pistol in one hand. “Sarish’s ass, have I got t’ do everything mesself? Grab ‘im and keep his mouth covered. He can’t cast spells if he can’t speak. “ The other three thugs grabbed Sebastian. Two pinned his arms, while the third covered his mouth. Bloody Jack straddled the prone sorcerer. “Since ye’ve got all these pretty magicks.” He pulled out a long, wicked knife. “I’m gonna saw through yer neck. I be thinkin’ I’ll take me time. And it’s gonna hurt. A lot.” He put the knife to Sebastian’s throat. Sebastian pointed one fist at Bloody Jack’s head. A shrieking beam of eldritch energy roared through the dwarf’s skull, melting it before the thug’s very eyes. Bloody Jack went rigid and then fell backwards off of Sebastian. The dark-kin laughed. And laughed. And laughed. The thugs let go of him, horrified. “Anyone else?” he hissed. They turned and ran out of the temple. Sebastian helped Father Peg-Leg to his feet. “Get up Father. Beldin needs your help.” Father Peg-Leg, who saw it all, croaked. “And who is goin’ to help ye?” [/QUOTE]
