[QUOTE="SelcSilverhand, post: 5742820, member: 30016"] The three aundarians know that the easiest way to Arcanix is to take the lightning rail to the huge trading city of Passage. Once your rooms and tabs are paid for, your gear collected, and your farewells said you set out for the lightning rail platforms. It isn't long before your tickets are purchased, a whole compartment to yourselves, and the next vehicle enters the station. It looks like a huge segmented snake made of iron. The stones beneath it arc and crackle noisily as it slows to approach the station. After a few moments it eases to a halt and settles down to the ground. You can see windows down the rear half of the train, the passenger compartments, and solid containers towards the front. The front section appears to be where the entire thing is controlled from. A polite man dressed in a House Orien emblazoned uniform directs the passengers to wait while the arriving people and cargo are offloaded. After nearly fifteen minutes the train is done offloading and loading its new passengers. Your compartment is not the finest you could have afforded but it is quite comfortable and includes meals and drinks in an adjoining section. The car has a small window that opens a few inches for fresh air, padded benches, and some storage for your gear. You recall the attendant's instructions not to carry your weapons openly on the train or be removed at the next station. House Orien has a good messaging system that can blacklist travelers from using any of their services, or doubling the price of their use. The lightning rail pulls out of the station soon after you've settled in. The countryside is soon rushing along past you with amazing speed. The rail travels faster than any horse, or ship, you've ever ridden on! With its numerous stops at villages and towns along the way, it will take nearly 20 hours to reach Passage. After that it is another 200 miles along the road to reach your destination. It may be possible to hitch a ride with a House Orien caravan or find some mounts to take you the rest of the way. Outside in the hallway there is the sound of running feet. With a bang, your door is knocked open and a tall figure falls over backwards into your car. You get a glimpse of a human face and bloodstained clothes as he goes down. The corridor is beginning to fill with curious spectators looking to see what all the commotion was about. Midian [SBLOCK] Midian sits on an angle to the door and has a brief glimpse of another figure in black clothes and a brown cloak turning away at the far end of the carriage. As he disappears through the connecting door he suddenly realizes where he saw that figure before. He stood over the body of Johan in Cliffscrape with a bloody dagger! [/SBLOCK] [/QUOTE]
