[QUOTE="aboyd, post: 3577160, member: 44797"] [b]Flight From Freeport, part 1[/b] Draden stood, watching his nemesis retreat down the winding street. Alric wheezed, drenched in sweat and visibly burned. Quietly, hunched over as if from cramps, he muttered a prayer. The group waited for a moment as Alric's skin healed and his body regained vigor. Govard ushered them off the main street and into a quiet alley. A discussion ensued. Should they return the statue? What if there were yet more tasks to be done? What of these assailants? What of the debts that some in the party owed? Who would come seeking payment, or payback? It appeared that the group's presence in Freeport was growing uncomfortable. Draden had abandoned his cover name, and Lothar and Dox had left. Even now, the two of them could be at the Bilge Rat spouting stories better left unsaid. "That ridiculous 'Order of Drac' was more of a burden than an award, for all the attention it caused," muttered Draden. "I'll take the award," said Crommel. "We should not have had a reception with every person of standing in this city, either," said Govard. "If Castor managed to find us, then likely anyone can," said Alric. And then with a graceful nod, "But of course you came at the right time, and are welcome." Castor smiled, "You are correct. My timing is good." Crommel leaned forward inquiringly. "What's wrong with a little notoriety? Do a good deed, get in somebody's good graces, right?" "Crom, you must have noticed that some of us don't exactly [I]want[/I] to be known. Some of us value our... privacy." Crommel raised an eyebrow. "Well, if it's anonymity you want, and a good pitched battle I'm after, what better way for all of us to get our wishes than to disappear into the chaos of war?" "You're starting to sound like a dwarf," said Alric. "It's almost as if someone is putting words into your mouth. Explain your idea." The dwarf gestured, and everyone leaned down close. "Have you ever heard of Azarr Kul?" And so in the gathering darkness, the group laid down a plan. [/QUOTE]
