[AU] Lost Dreams

Yajarn moves back to the rickety balcony and peers down at the ground level of the building opposite them. There are a couple of doorways facing the one you are in. One is close to the entrance of the alley and had Trigg ducked in there he probably would have been spotted. The other door however is further back near the wall closest to the sewer entrance. Sir Lornem calls up, "Found anything?"

Yajarn, Mojh Warmain

"Perhaps this 'leg' is metaphorical for a means of travel. A horse, a wagon, even a cane. It's something to watch for," Vand says.
"It's a possibility ... but it has little to do with what we came to do here. And beside, he could just be totally crazy."

"Found anything?"
"Perhaps" replies Yajarn. Without another word, he climbs down the ladder. He adresses Lornem on the ground floor. "According to a bum living up there, the scrig fleed through this door." He points the door on the wall near the sewer entrance
 

Vand, Human, Mindwitch

Vand waits until Yajarn has made a safe descent, then dispels his mindblade and follows.

"Now we go down?"
 

Malarky, loresong akashic

"Do all the shopkeepers pay protection fees?" Malarky looked around discreetly, watching the people around them. "I would have imagined the local guard might still provide some protection within the Worm....or has it gotten worse of late?"
 

Sir Lornem nods as Yajarn delivers his report. When both he and Vand are on the ground he says, "Hmm. Well then lets check out that door. Before we get in to deep though we should see what information the others have gathered. Well, maybe after we have a look whats behind this door. If you two want to stand to that side. I'll open the door." Moving to the right of the door, he motions you to stand quietly to the left. Then he pushes on the door gently and it swings inward revealing a small dark room. Inside the building you can see no other creatures, even with your enhanced vision, Yajarn. The place smells slightly of the sewers, though anything this close to the wall probably does. Inside is a room only about four or five paces long by about two wide. There is another door to the far end which is currently shut. You dont hear any sounds coming from inside the building, but from up above in the room you had just come from you hear, "My leg, its black wood, please get my leg." The madman cannot be seen from the ground, but you know that it is definitely him who yelled out.

----------------

The litorian guardsman raises his head a bit to the taller faen, having kneeled down to speak to the small spryte. "Indeed most do pay their dues here in the Worm. Sure the city guard makes its rounds, but they can't keep watch all the time. Thats when things go wrong for some of the residents here. Things may have gotten worse a bit of late, but it comes and goes. Listen I'm about to get off, tell you what, you two have been quite nice to a boring guard like me. If you talk to the Duskwalker, he'll be able to help, but don't tell nobody that it was me who sent you. I don't want to cause my boss any trouble."
 

Finn Redtip, Spryte Greenbond

Finn takes to the air again, saying "Thank you kind sir! Which way would this, er, fellow be? Let's go, Malarky!"

He zips back and forth, ready to go the direction the guard points.

ooc: Sorry for the long absence. The game hadn't moved for a long while and it fell off my daily checkin list.
 



The litorian guard stands up again, adjusting his spear. "Hmm, I don't think that he is around now. He usually comes out in the evening and you can usually find him down at Dead Man's Ale a little hole-in-the-wall down by the docks. He's a litorian like me, little shorter though with dark grey fur. Just ask around I'm sure you'll find him. Well better finish off my shift. Later." He finishes then looks around to see if anyone had been watching the conversation or decided to take advantage of the distracted guard. Seeing nothing he returns to his post as you take your leave.

---------------

All of a sudden as Yajarn moves into the dark building, the floor boards let out a loud creak and a soft voices can be heard from behind the door. It opens a crack and a small rat like nose of one of the scrigs peers out before slamming the door shut again.
 

Vand, Human, Mindwitch

Vand manifests his mindblade, then sprinkles a tiny pinch of powdered star-stone to call up his Astral Armor.

Quietly, after calling a brief incantation to finish summoning his armor, he says, "Black wood? Perhaps it's a crutch, or staff makes more sense."
