[QUOTE="megamania, post: 6211330, member: 9255"] THE HIDDEN 02 THE BODY SEGMENT 018 “THE BODY” 10/02/13 EYRE 17, 999 The group is enjoying their new found fame. They have rescued the girls, ended the threats of future children being taken and even battled the thieves’ guild of Goblins known as the Web. Even RAF seems happy with it. But even with this increased fame, they are having trouble finding employment. So, they head to the docks to the job listings booth. On the way they see the usual venders including a ½ orc selling potions, a few trinket salesmen and various pilots of ships large and small. They reach the booth and find nothing. They know they have enough money collected from the goblins and Emerald Claw agents to live off of for many months but they are restless already. Several ½ orc children run by them laughing and up to no good. They look to where they came from and see a warforged. He makes eye contact with them and rushes over to them. “The end is coming!” He waves his arms in a maniacal fashion. “It grows in the swamp. It grows stronger and greater every day!” RAF would laugh if he could. Though the others have heard of this warforged Truth explains the history to them. He has heard that this warforged was damaged heavily within the war and remains unstable. Others say he is crazy and touched in the head. “See- the sign even says so!” 9s taps his homemade sign several times. The sign is poorly written on drift wood and hung around his neck with a piece of stray twin. Written as if a child had it reads “Town Idiot”. (1/2 orc children love him). The group tries to walk past him but he walks parallel to them. “It’s in the swamp. It wants to get us! To get all of us!” RAF is losing his patience. Cy and Tom try to avoid him. Rose pities him but also tries to ignore him. Maul licks his hand then moves ahead of the group. “I have seen it. The end is coming!” The group directs him into walking into the path of a merchant. As hoped- he stops to preach to the merchant instead of them. Shortly they are confronted once more by the law of the docks. Tusk d’Tharashk hales the heroes with his usual bullying attitude and demeanor. His deputy backups are there to support him. “Aw- Look- it’s the heroes. Kill any goblins today? Burn down any buildings today?” He pauses to let his deputies laugh with his joke. RAF tries to stare him down. Tusk instead growls and his men spread out into a combative formation. Tusk continues to badger them until 9s reappears. “Officer! Officer! They are in the swamp! They are coming for us all!” They all laugh at the poor warforged. They continue down the docks allowing 9s to occupy Tusk instead. Two docks later they hear a yell of alarm. “A Body! There’s a body in the water!” The group hurries over to the fisherman. Next to his small boat is a body floating in the water. He is face down and has a pack on his back. Rose uses her bow to reach the body and first pull it closer to the dock then hooks and arm and rolls him over in the water. Truth stiffens. He knows the person. [/QUOTE]
