[QUOTE="The803, post: 1992087, member: 23183"] Canny bloods from the inner sphere have completed a number crude rope bridges; rather than going straight up, they run off the inner sphere at a tangent, so crossing them is like walking uphill. As berks cross into the weightless zone, they swing a cord or rod under the bridge and slide down to the outer sphere. As the protective effects of the plane are realized, however, most just jump. Unfortunately, Nethling portals on the inner sphere have not closed, and there is a bit of a scramble and scuffle as squads of Fated mercenaries, Harmonium patrols, and Mercykiller manacle-squads pour through from Sigil onto the inner surface. The open inner-sphere portals are quickly surrounded by tight moving circles of armored soldiers. They do not attack, but defend themselves ruthlessly. Githzerai organizers urge sods on the inner sphere to cross to the outside or help repel the slavers and lawgivers. The festive atmosphere of the inner sphere rapidly becomes a bedlam of confusion, but the revelers on the outer sphere rally to help people evacuate and contain the invaders. Debris and jeers rain down on the invaders from overhead. The protective quality of the place gives an advantage to the skilled grapplers of the githzerai, but the portal guards are too skilled even for them, and seem intent on merely aiding the flow of lawgivers onto the inner surface. Sunflies begin mobbing Mercykillers and the Sarphidians join the struggle, ferrying lighter berks both in and out to ease the traffic on the rope bridges, and defending themselves with flashes of colorful magic. They also attempt to calm the rioting crowd with words. [COLOR=Plum]This is as is should be. The forces of order will claim the inner sphere.
