[QUOTE="theredrobedwizard, post: 3212846, member: 21340"] [b]Chapter 2.3: Sharn, City of Towers and also Hookers.[/b] The airship shuddered as it finally reached its destination, the main airship hub of the largest city on all Khorvaire. Sharn sprawled out below, above, and on all sides of the massive spire. Those passengers who'd never been to the city before felt a definite sense of vertigo as they traversed the walkway to the tower. Jaysen sprinted down the ramp and fell to his knees as he made it onto the tower. "Sweet flaming Tira Miron," Jaysen yelled joyously, "I thought that trial would never end!" "Trial," Myk asked, "what trial?" "That horrendous airship ride," Jaysen replied. "That was one of the smoothest airship rides we've ever taken," Mika said, "there weren't even any raiders or crazed warforged this time." "Or crazed warforged raiders," Taelor laughed as he mirrored Mika. Mika raised an eyebrow at the changeling. "What? You never wanted to make out with yourself," Doppel-Mika inquired, "not even a little bit?" "No, not once, ever," Mika replied sternly. "Not to be rude," the group's newest addition interrupted, "but where is Morgrave University from here?" "Up and to the west," Myk answered. "Up? But we're already so far from the ground," Raczel said, "Heck, I can't even tell where the ground is." "You'll have that," Taelor quipped as he sauntered towards the baggage claim. The lot of them joined the artificer at the cargo unloading area, totally oblivious to the riot about to break out behind them. The sound of flesh being seared and screams of pain reached Mykel's trained ears. His hands went instinctively for his belt and drew his axes. "Trouble over by the food court," Myk said as he sprinted towards the source of conflict. Jayson dropped his bag, drew his sword and followed Myk to the disturbance. Taelor followed suit, drawing a wand from his belt. "Should we follow them," Raczel asked. "Nah," Mika said with a giggle, "they'll be able to handle it. Just make sure to have a prayer to the Sovereigns ready in case they come back in more pieces than they left in." "Right," Raczel said nervously. The three rounded the corner to the food court, startled to come across a five men pummelling a young changeling girl. Jaysen went into paladin mode and yelled out to the gathered crowd. "Cease your violence," he bellowed, "what has this girl done to deserve such a thing?" The strongest of the men turned and faced Jaysen. He stood a head and a half taller than the paladin. The man's eyes burned with hatred, a charred spot was appearant on his face. "She is a demon binder. She has made a pact with one of the devils of the north, drawing from its unholy power to bring about the ruin of Breland," the man answered, his voice filled with rage. "You missed the part where you assumed that I was a prostitute because I'm a changeling," the girl screamed, "and how you tried to kill me when I wouldn't give in to your advances. I know I'm a hottie, but I'm only 13 sicko!" "Watch your tongue, wench, or I'll cut it out of your unholy head," the man commanded. The changeling girl looked upon the faces of those who interposed on her behalf. The man in shining armor, his twin, and the woodsman. The knight's twin looked confusedly at her for a moment then spoke. "Cayla," Taelor stammered, "is that you?" The girl looked at him again as he switched forms to that of a brutish half orc. "Taelor?" the girl replied. Taelor looked at his companions then at the men surrounding the changeling girl. "You'd better step back you inbred retards," Taelor threatened, "or you'll all end up as piles of ash." "You and what army," the leader laughed. "This one," Taelor said as he pulled back his overcoat, exposing a slew of wands of varying hues and sizes, "now, back away and I'll only turn you over to the law." The thugs stared down the half-orc in artificer's clothing and laughed. "Those things aren't real," one said, "Baron d'Cannith doesn't even carry that many wands." "Most of them might be fake, but this one isn't," Taelor said, brandishing a wand in his left hand, "lay one hand on her again and you'll wish that the Keeper already took you." The thugs called his bluff. Their leader lifted a foot and brought it crashing down on Cayla's head. In that moment, Taelor snapped. [/QUOTE]
