[QUOTE="Zoverai, post: 2593349, member: 35209"] As soon as the cloud of choking ash began to clear the Satyxis leapt to her feet and dashed for the door. As she clawed her way past the ruined entranceway she spotted a booted foot belonging to the drunken sailor and on a whim reached down to drag him along. The surge of people all streaming out in to the night towards the beach carried her along with the drunken man's head bouncing on the hard packed earth. Once away from the barn-cum-tavern the raven haired pirate could see the ranks of undead making their slow steady progress up the beach. Her two large horns cast an eerie shadow behind her and although her long coat hid the much of her features - as the drunken sailor came to he lot out a groan of appreciation. She spun around, glared at him as if to weigh up whether it was worth taking the old sack of a man any further and then began a mad dash down to the beach. With her two short swords out in front she parried several strikes coming her way, ducked aside as a group of undead fell upon one unfortunate soul next to her and leapt over a boulder to avoid two more of the undead laying in wait. Surprisingly the old drunk managed to keep up with her and after a few breathless minutes of running they had made it to the water front. Just as she took out her spyglass to look at the ships moored in the bay a man carrying a satchel full of scrolls came screaming in terror on to the beach. Charging blindly in to the water he began calling out to one of the ships, but then stopped rather abruptly when one of the walking dead cut his legs out from under him. Seeing her chance the Satyxis pushed the old sea dog in to the water and commanded him to swim for the nearby merchant’s brig. Another ship slightly further away had initially caught her fancy, but she'd felt a shiver of apprehension as it reminded her too much of a Cygnaran patrol boat. Grabbing hold of the dying man and his satchel full of scroll she dove in to the cold water and began to swim away from the dead men carrying out their grisly slaughter along the water front. Initially the progress was slow, but having been around the sea almost all of her life she felt invigorated by the water and reached the ship just in time to watch an Ogrun emerge from the water as it slowly climb up the metal chain belonging to the ship's anchor. The man with the satchel had bled to death along the way leaving a dark streamer behind them that marked their progress. With a swift cut of one of her daggers the Satyxis released the man's body to the deep and began to climb up behind the Ogrun. [/QUOTE]
