Under strange stars

Shin'nairo - Champion of the Sun-Tribe

Someone said:
"So you don´t know who were the masked mage? I could tell you... for a price."


Shin'nairo clamly cups his heads in her hands, puts on a dazling smile and says in a calm voice: "Or maybe you could tell us.. for your life." Then with lightning speed the man got one kukri presses at his throat, and another making a thin trail of blood down his cheek. Again the woman smiles at him.

"Hey, be careful with that. You just cut me." says him.

"So what it´ll be? Come on, I don´t ask more than, say 20 dinars and I´m likely to have problems back in palace. what do you say?" Theguard gets up and holds a rope, waiting but ready to climb into a ship. The beach shines, and beyond it the city.

*Al-Khazad turns him away from the guards and attemps to palm him the coins. While whispering "spend them well friend, heres hoping they don't cost your life."
*After hearing the Captain's responce, he shoves him away from the boat, while shouting "Next time it will be your life you cur! Accusing us of false crimes.
 

Amira & Razeem

"Razeem! Keep an eye on the surroundings, I don't want anyone to surprise us today!" Amira orders the mephit while she waits for Al-Khazad to share the information he got from the captain.
 

The guards quickly puts the coins in a safe place and opens his mouth to speak, but makes a very brief pause, with a worried face. But he comes back to his normal grin and whispers to Al-Khazad:

"About the man with the strange weapon, I don´t even know his name, but he works with the new vizier. Yes, there is a new vizier, and many say that he´s a wizard, or mage. He´s rarely seen, and only speaks to the Caliph. Many are afraid in Palace."

"We were talking about our friend. He´s never far from the new vizier, so the mage you fought with... Do you follow me?"

Al-Khazad whispers back, "it appears we must become actual criminals. With your knowledge of the city, would you know a fast ship? I may be a hero, but I'm no fool, I'll not have the whole city after me." ~I just wish we had Kyot and the manuscript. If I have to leave it would have been nice to have a destination.~

Jagra listened to the disquieting conversation. He didn't like how things were shaping up on this one. Even less did he like the nature of a Wizard who healed so quickly from his spells. He has threw the might of the Effreet at the man, and the fury of the Storm, all for naught. This venture would require more in the way of subtlety. Keeping his eye on the now fading Constable and his guards, Jagra asked idly of the Captain. 'So, my friend, would you be adverse to say, aquiring a ship in a less than savory manner?'
Grinning the smile that all who knew him had by this time come to mean Just give up and nod in agreement, the Gnome was even now formulating a play inside his beturbaned brain.

OOC: Make of this, what you will. :D Al-Khazad whispers back, "it appears we must become actual criminals. With your knowledge of the city, would you know a fast ship?

Ormazd the Inscrutable returns!

Ormazd speaks quietly from just behind Al-Khazad, having navigated his way over to the captain.

"Whether we wish it or no, we have made an enemy of that oddly masked wizard. Ormazd thinks that the only way the masked one could have become so powerful is by trafficking with dark forces from beyond this mortal realm. Thus, whatever we do, Ormazd believes we should exercise the uttermost caution; the masked one may have more resources at his fingertips than mere beastmen."

Of course, Al-Khazad has heard such dire warnings from Ormazd before; generally about every second spellcaster to cross their path...but perhaps this time, the sorcerer has a point?

The guard shrugs. “That´s your problem, my friend, and the least I know the better for you. I would hide in the city –it´s not difficult- or flee, too, but when dealing with a mage, I don´t know”

Now in the ship, he makes signals to the other guards waving his arms.
