[QUOTE="Trench, post: 6079004, member: 40464"] The imam backs up the way he came, keeping his scimitar at the ready. "Baboons!" Mahjub exclaims. “Coming at us!” Gerber steps on the dead pugwampi to pry his axe out of it and then rejoins the others. "[i]Does anyone have a blade to spare? I do my best work up close, and a throwing axe is not terribly efficient for repeat usage, anyway...[/i]" "He needs a blade,” Jadid shouts as he takes a fighting stance. “Do any of you carry metal weapons? We need fuel for a fire. We should burn anything still living in this, then it will be clear without any more people being hurt." The monk then notices something and begins to walk toward the shadows. Dima nods as she hands over a well-worn short spear to the northern knight. "[i]My father gave me this short spear, although I told him I may never use it.[/i]" Dima offers to Gerber in reasonably accented Imperial. Dima and Gerber’s conversation is interrupted as Abu'l stumbles backward out of the darkness. Everyone hears a series of thumps in front of them. Moments later a single baboon screams and leaps on Abu'l. The imam's readied scimitar comes down hard on the simian's back and the primate howls in pain. Mahjub's arrow streaks over everyone's heads as the baboon claws and bites at the cleric, but Abu'l manages to push him back. Gerber grabs the spear from Dima and whirls around.. "[i]Thank you, kind lady.[/i]" The former knight is a little surprised as the spear almost comes tumbling out of his hands as he does so. However, his fingers tighten and he drives the spear home deep into the animal's belly. The baboon crumples to the ground. Gerber looks in the spear in annoyance, about to blame his relative unfamiliarity with the new weapon for the near fumble, when there's a deafening shriek. Everyone turns to see Jadid spinning out of the entrance and holding a thrashing pugwampi with one arm. It's tiny arms and legs beat the monk as it screams at the top of its lungs. Jadid gives the creature a brutal twist and the pugwampi's form goes limp. The mosque is blissfully quiet again. "If you wish to speculate on unlawful fornications, gentlemen,” Abu’l says. “The baboons and these creatures sharing living quarters raises some unwholesome questions." "[i]No need for a prayer, holy man,[/i]" Gerber says, clapping the cleric on the back. The imam rolls his eyes and sighs. They really need to teach this dumb foreigner the language. [/QUOTE]
