[QUOTE="FourMonos, post: 5898525, member: 88601"] [b]The Chase, Round 3[/b] [sblock=Correction of Geography] I need to correct an error. The Dura tower is west of the Central tower, so our outlaw is fleeing east (not west as previously stated) [/sblock] After two amazing athletic feats by Rohna and Malehan, the kalashatar's quick thinking and even quicker tongue save the day. The guard captain, alerted to the danger, runs quickly to the western column and activates the controls to close the bridge. Almost as if unaware, the Karnathi knight strides past him. With a grinding of gears, the bridge reverses its direction. Steadily the knight walks its length, faster than the sky bridge can close. Several pedestrians hold their breath as the knight lifts its armored leg over the edge of oblivion... and the armored boot falls just on the far side of the closing expanse.
