Message: <blockquote data-quote="Viking Bastard" data-source="post: 139377" data-attributes="member: 509">Carp and the players have all strapped themselves into their seats in the rocket.  Carp grins and says: “Ready boys, here we go.” Then he grabs a big lever and pulls it.  The rocket starts to shake and cough. It seems as it doesn’t work.  But then suddenly the engine starts to roar and the rocket shoots out the hatch and up into the sky.  Out the portholes they can see Serpent City, the biggest city of the western world, shrink to an embarassingly small size.  The rocket changes it’s trajectory and now heads straight ahead into the north, to Harrgard.  The players see the ground below shoot past at uncanny speed, fast enough to upset their stomachs, even Kurk’s.Carp smiles.  “Time to chill down boys, the trip should take one to two hours.”  He grins.  “If the fuel lasts, that is.”* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * After about one and half hour, the players can finally see the great glass dome of the Gnome city of Harrgard floating over the horizon.  The huge city is being held up by gigantic aircruiser engines.  It is as the city stands upon blue fiery feet.  The earth beneath it is scorched, black-blue-ish, cracked and hard as glass, after centuries of torture by the flames.  High upon the glass dome shines a blue thunderstone beacon, warning lost travellers of  the city’s existance.“Thanks gawd, because we’re out of fuel.”  Carp says.  “Hold onto something, this isn’t gonna be nice.”The rocket quickly starts to loose altitude and plummels to the earth, crashing onto it’s belly leaving a long scorched scar in the ground. After stroking the ground for about six hundred metres the rocket finally stops and four dazed capes come crawling out, throwing up over each other’s shoes.</blockquote>
