[QUOTE="talien, post: 5035883, member: 3285"] [b]Crisis in Freeport: Part 10 – Going to the Island[/b] Stretching out about a hundred feet into the water was a sturdy wooden pier. A few smaller ships were stilled tied off and rocked in the turbulent waters. On the shore were beached rowboats, lipped over so their hulls were face up. A stone path led from the pier up to Felix’s, an upscale resort that offered comfort, quality, and a place away from the hustle and bustle of Freeport. Scattered all over the beach were about a dozen corpses. Strange, serpent-like silhouettes ducked their heads in and out of the corpses, feasting on the dead. One man was propped up, hair concealing his features, his body tied to an “X” on the beach. Sebastian unleashed a blast of eldritch energy from his fingertips, scorching one of the serpents. It hissed, and the other four reared their heads. It was clear they were degenerate specimens of ssanu, if such a thing were possible. “What did you do that for?” shouted Beldin. “That man,” said Sebastian, beginning an incantation, “might be able to tell us where Emric is.” Beldin cut off one of the degenerate ssanu’s attacks by striking first, chopping it down with one blow. It spasmed once and was still. A blast of flames engulfed the ssanu, but they were so soaked from seawater and rain that they only steamed from the fire. “[FONT="Impact"]Algor conus![/FONT]” A spiraling cone of frozen ice turned the steam to a tomb, entrapping the ssanu in mid-action. “And now we can finally get to the bottom of this.” Sebastian walked over to the tied up hostage, but Beldin reached him first. He lifted the man’s head by the long hair that concealed his features… It was little more than a skull, the flesh ripped off. Sebastian sighed. “So much for our intel.” “Forget intel.” Beldin released the man’s head, and the corpse resumed its upright position. Tied to the X, it looked as if he were in meditation. “This was Felix.” [/QUOTE]
