Message: <blockquote data-quote="Viking Bastard" data-source="post: 2547" data-attributes="member: 509">An orc and a human come running with weapons ready around the corner, when they see the party the human calls for help while the orc attacks Kurk who easily dodges and slices the thug’s right arm off. Incognito shoots the human who dies instantly. Kurk then finishes the orc off.Each of them takes one grenade and throws it at the cannon then they run for shelter. The cannon blows up with some very neat firework displays. A large group of thugs comes and following them is Grunt and a very scruffy looking gnome.“You again!” He turns to the gnome, ”Scarran, if they are here, Carp is here. Find him and kill him! Understood?!”“Yes sir.” The same squeaky voice as before. “I’ll send some lads to guard the other cannon.”‘BOOM!’Scarran literally jumps up in the air, “What was that?!”“That would be the other cannon.” Incognito says grinning.The City Guard ship sails into sight, out of the fog.“Damn!” Grunt does not look happy. “Abandon the base, salvage what you can. I’m going to alert him.”“What shall I do with them?”Grunt answers just as he disappears into the stronghold: “Kill them.”‘BOOM’ The City Guards shoot again, this time aiming at the pirate cruiser. The ship blows up in a ball of fire and smoke just a dozen meters or so from the players. The shockwave and flying debris knocks many of the bandits and Kurk off their feet.Stickler is the first to act and grabs his shotgun and shoots one of the bandit’s head off. Kurk stands up and then slices and dices like only he can do properly and Incognito once again casts sleep and takes some of the bandits out that way. But they are easily outnumbered and all three take many hits. It looks like they are going down when Sergeant Carp and the capes come and start slashing through the ranks of bandits. The bandits don’t last very long. A few of them have the brains to give up, including Scarran.“I would have expected more resistance, than this,” Sergeant Carp says with a I-have-a-bad-feeling-about-this kind of look on his face, “The place is practically empty! Just these couple of bandits and not even any loot.”Kurk grabs Scarran by the neck and lifts him off his feet. “Where did Grunt go?!!”Scarran’s face goes white. “They went through the caves under the stronghold. They lead to the other two ships, where we keep all the loot.”“Grunt to?”“Grunt, the Boss and most of the lads.”“Da boss? Who’s dat?”“I don’t know, important guy, talks with a Serpent City accent.”“His name.”“I don’t know his name, he and Grunt didn’t take the chance if I talked!”Kurk throws Scarran away, who produces a little scream.Sergeant Carp takes some men and goes and searches those caves, when they find the second dock, everybody is long gone.* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * The Dux is a short bald tubby man, who likes his cigars big and his employees obedient. Therefore he doesn’t really like Sergeant Carp, although he must admit people like him have their uses. “Carp, get your ass in here!”“Dux.” Carp walks into the Dux’s office not expecting two people. “Guildmaster Qter, for what do we owe this pleasure?”Picture of Guildmaster Qter<img src="http://dungeon3e.thedamned.ca/cops_n_robbers/potraits/qter.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />“The guildmaster here came to offer me some information. Grunt and his hoodlums are no problem of ours now.”“He is always our problem. Has been so for years.”“He is gone, over the border over to the Dracani Dynasty, he is now their problem.”“And how exactly do we know this?”The guildmaster decides to join the debate. “The guild council has had reliable word of this.” Qter is the youngest of the guildmasters, also the only bachelor. The most sought after bachelor in the city. Tall, dark and handsome. “Very reliable. I doubt Grunt will show himself again in the city, he doesn’t sound that stupid.”“Yeah Carp, forget him. I have a new case for you, some psycho self proclaimed wannabe witch hunter is killing women down in the lower wards. I want you and your boys checking that out later tonight. Ok?”Although Carp didn’t like it he agreed. </blockquote>
