OOC: So as I understand it, Kurgahz and Cludge (NPC'd) are chasing after the eavesdroppers, while Shadya and Lasair are relocating the prisoner to a new location (presumably not following the chase). Shadya's and Lasair's actions aren't very clear to me.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
The fleeing men bound down the stairs as fast as the can. They swing right at the bottom, heading towards the larger street on the opposite side of the building. There, they again turn right and dash away, with their pursuers hot on their heels.
But very quickly it becomes apparent that all is not well on this street. A dull roar can be heard, punctuated with shouts of rage.
Before you get far, the source of the noise and light is revealed: A sizable crowd of Sairundani men has gathered on the street, every one intent on a lean, muscled man who is speaking in Sairundani:
[sblock=Sairundani: ]"These foul creatures have been living among us, leeching our food and water for generations, and now after all we have given them they turn on us in an attempt to take forcefully what we tried to give peacefully!
I tell you, I saw the assassin with my own eyes, one of the wicked orcs who wishes to plunder our beautiful city and turn it into one of their dirty ruined hovels! And I will not let that happen!"
Another man in the crowd replies, "Aye! Purge the city!"[/sblock]
The speech is met with riotous cheering.
A few men have noticed the chase heading towards them, but they have yet to comprehend the situation or react.
