Twentyninehundred and a shed of out blood if required it is then. I suggest we take out leave, we have tarried long enough here. And since things we don't like seem to stick their heads out here as well, better sooner then later.

"........and if things keep up the way they did... blood will be shed, and not in the least of amounts. May some god look kindly upon us, for it is a grave fate we face, and an even greater fate we try to deny not just for ourselves or the ones we love... but for a world......" Ruth ponders to herself as she grips her hilt with a strange kind of compassion. "What a cold heart can bring itself to love... *sigh*.. Nestiphae..."
 

Jansson tosses the heavy sack of money to Syld.

"That should cover it. Count it, if you want." He says to the pilots. "And should you need our swords, they'll be ready. Now, as the lady says, the sooner we can leave, the better. My business in the city is finished, so I see little need to dally."
 

Thranos shrugs.

"No need, we'll take yer word fer it." He gives Ruth a sidelong glance, then looks back to Jansson. "If ye're ready, th' Rabbit's Foot's up top. We kin be gone in..."

"Five." The gremlin says quietly.

"Five minutes, aye. Tops."

The pair rise, and head for the large staircase by the entrance.
 

Jansson follows after Thranos and Grakyl.

"Should we bring our gear aboard now?" He asks, nodding towards his backpack and the large sack of cold-weather clothes he's carrying.
 


"Aye, bring yer gear." Thranos says with a quick nod of his head.

Following the pair, you emerge onto the roof of the building, which is a good deal larger than the building below. They head for a ship somewhat near the staircase exit, constructed of a dark wood that is almost black in color, the deck of which is flush with the roof of the building. The pair hop on, and Grakyl scurries to the back end of the ship, while Thranos takes a spot near the wheel, which is near the center of the ship.

"There's a deck below." He says as you board. "Ya can stow yer cargo there. There's some space fer ya ta rest, if ya need it an' prefer ta be belowdecks while we're flyin'."
 

Syld gets his items to the deck below and then climbs back to the upper deck.
"Let's see how flying is up here compared to an astral construct..."
 

Yeah! Im mightily interested as well. I'd love to check this out, will be my first time flying, im kinda exited. And she hurries below deck to get back before she missing the take off.
 

Jansson clambers on board the ship, and follows Ruth below decks. He quickly stows his gear, and dashes back up to watch the first part of the flight.

"Well, this will be a new experience..." He says, slightly nervously. He finds himself a handhold, and hangs on tight...
