[QUOTE="megamania, post: 6492229, member: 9255"] THE WAYFINDERS OF THE FLOATING TOWER “THE ROAD OF SLAVERY” SEGMENT 029 1/10/15 VULT 23, 999 THE COGS The children dance and prance as they lead the group deeper into the Cogs under Sharn. Vydaer truly wishes the children were not so loud and active. Mortar finds the children’s games amusing. So does the warforged grappler Boar. His simple mind is easily caught up in the activity. Gabriel Nocke is careful not to touch the filthy walls of the tunnels. He is even less happy with the children than Vydaer. They feel the heat and smell the molten metals as they enter a forge area. A warforged worker spots the children and immediately moves over to intercept them. “It is not safe to play here children. You must move away. I cannot continue to tell you this every week.” “Excuse me ……” begins Mortar. “CB-29 is my given Cannith name.” “Mortar is mine. The children are helping us with an important job.” The warforged tries to stare them down. Gabriel steps up from the back of the group. “CB-29, as my goblinoid friend has already stated, we are here on important business. These children felt they could help us. Perhaps you could help us also.” “We can pay for your services.” Offers the goblin. The warlock –lawyer gives him an annoyed look. The other workers pause to watch. “Please- we need nothing from you. Move away from the hot liquid. Take the children with you.” “Have you seen any bugbears down here? Perhaps carrying women with them.” Asks Vydaer. “There are dwarves, goblins, shifters ….. yes, there are bugbears down here also. They stay away from the working areas…. As you should.” “Thankyou- we should go. Children…..” motions the warlock. They move to a different exit away from the molten metals of the forge and the warforged workers. One of the children holds back a moment to speak to a worker then hurries after the group. They walk around a corner and encounter another warforged that the children seem to know. “BOB!” The battered and damaged warforged looks startled and looks for a place to move to- quickly. With no escape route, the warforged referred to as “Bob” by the children backs into a corner and awaits the non-forged persons to approach. The children run up to the warforged and grab and hug its arms and legs. “Can you play?” “Not today. Who are these people? They are not of our people.” “Meaning?” asks Gabriel. “Please Bob….. Please” “Do. Not. Call. Me. Bob. I hate that name.” “awwwwwwwww” the six children say in unison. “Have you seen bugbears with women in the tunnels?” Bob the warforged, looks up at the warlock. “No.” “Do you know anyone that could help us?” He remains silent. “Those are some rough burn marks and gouges on your body. Wartime injuries? We could help you with it.” The warforged looks at his shoulder and arm. He thinks back many years to how the damage happened [ John Play : Hero for Hire ]. “Well?” [/QUOTE]
