Clockwork, Steam & Sorcery

Larina walks up to the side alley as quietly as she can, and quickly peeks her head round the corner and withdraws.

OOC: I'm talking peeking round for just long enough to see any ambush, and pulling her head back from any impending sword swings or crossbow bolts, BTW.

I hate to admit defeat but it seems there is nothing to see here. Come Linda lets not leave Slash and gears waiting. Forge folds up the maps and thanks Reynold. He will lead the way back to the main chamber/ front desk and hope that Gears is waiting for him.

With a tinge of disappointment, Forge and Linda put away the maps and Reynold led them back to the main foyer.

"Sorry you didn't find what you're looking for," the young man told them. "Good luck."

The main foyer was much as they left it, with even most of the same people sitting on the bench. Gears hadn't returned yet, but Forge was certain that his heartbond was following his last orders and tailing Travar. Slash the wolf waited just outside the building at the door, pacing restlessly.

OOC: Just waiting on the rest of the gang in Rooksbridge before I update further.
 


OOC: Guess everyone else is taking a much needed break from the computer... ;) I guess we'll continue. Also, I'd appreciate some feedback over on the OOC thread . Thanks.

Moving like a shadow, Larina creeps over to the lip of the alleyway and peers onto the quiet road. She is in time to catch the halfling's small frame ducking around another corner to the left. Before she can move to follow she, James and Froud are distracted by hollering from the right. James peeks around the corner in time to see a single small boy racing away from four older ones. All five are wearing the disheveled rags of the street people, and none seem much older than Larina herself. Three are armed with makeshift weapons such as wooden planks and rocks, which they wave over their heads as they pursue their smaller quarry.

In about ten seconds they will pass by the group.

James, resplendent in his armour, times it so that he can step out right in front of the lead child with a "HALT!", hoping to catch them all off-guard enough that they will, well uh... Halt. "Don't be frigthened, I only wish to talk to you."

James steps out before the lead boy. Because the boy is looking over his shoulder at his pursuers at that precise moment, he can't get out of the way of the fighter; with a resounding crash, he bounces off James' chest and stumbles onto his butt.

The pursuers slow to a jog, warily watching the three strangers before them. Those with weapons clutch them tighter as they sneer, throwing looks at the kid on the ground before James.

As Forge and Linda make their way to Rooksbridge to meet up with their friends, they make their way down a bustling street, full of a throng of people coming from market. Suddenly, there's a sound of wooden snapping in protest and the crowd begins to part rapidly with shouts and hollers. Bearing down on the pair is a large horse-drawn cart piled with sacks of what are presumably grain... without the horse!
 


Larina rolls her eyes. "You know, we really really don't have time for this." She sighs, and he had moves instictively to the rapier getting ready to draw it if the others attack.
