[QUOTE="aboyd, post: 3579734, member: 44797"] [b]Flight From Freeport, part 3[/b] Castor approached, the reigns of a horse in hand. Behind him followed 2 additional horses, led by Henry and Alric. Each horse was burdened with sacks and equipment. Draden gestured to the pirates, and then stepped forward. "How did it go? And how did you manage to remain so quiet?" Castor replied, "It was Henry's idea. He tied hay to the horses' hooves. It muted their footsteps on the cobbles and the docks. Horses weren't too thrilled about it, though." He patted a saddlebag. "I think we got everything, plus some extras that Henry's contacts were able to put together at the last minute." "I'm gonna miss our arrangement, Henry," said Draden. Henry smiled, and nodded. As they unloaded the bags, Govard arrived. "Where's Crommel?" asked Castor. Govard smirked. "He'll show up eventually. He's trying to keep his plate mail from creaking too loudly. He can probably see us. We should all wave." Everyone picked up bags and gear, and headed to the boat. Once everything was safely on board, Alric fixed his eyes on Govard. "Did you do it? Did you leave the jade statue at Thuron's door?" "No," said Govard nonchalantly. "What?" Crommel finally arrived, looking concerned. "What do you mean, no? I heard no fighting, you never hollered for help!" "Correct. I didn't say there were problems, merely that I did not leave the statue at the door." "So where is it?" asked Castor. Govard smiled. "At the foot of Thuron's bed. Did you know that he sleeps in lizard form? It's a wonder so few people have discovered who he really is." Crommel grumbled, "It's a wonder you got in and out without causing a ruckus." The boat lurched as the last mooring went free. Crommel took a seat and held on. The sky's brilliant moon hung low like a scoop to catch the ocean as it poured over the edge of the world. "We never did get to the lighthouse. We're likely to miss it, shining like a beacon for the first time. I mean, if it really is a lighthouse. Probably missed it by a day." "I don't care," said Alric. "We've got the open sea before us. The god of travel is likely pleased to see me moving again." In the distance, the city of Freeport receded into the night. [/QUOTE]
