Start of #Sharn buffer: Thu Jan 18 19:52:16 2007[17:30:19] * Now talking in #Sharn [18:45:04] [As everyone parts ways to deal and cope with the night's previous events, Aurora searches the towers and bridges of Malleon for any sign of the Watch but finds none.] [18:47:55] * Aurora runs around, frustrated. She'd burned out the last of her spells summoning dogs to at least buy the prisoners some more time. She's just a frantic little girl with a bow and mace now. [18:48:26] "You going hunting there, little lady?" [18:48:59] * Aurora turns around to see who it is. [18:49:03] Huh? [18:49:06] [The voice has age to it, but is also high pitched and feminin. As Aurora glances around to find the voice she sees and elderly golbin woman sitting on a porch.] [18:49:37] [She seems to be knitting.] [18:49:46] "What's the bow fer?" [18:49:47] Ah. Not quite. Trying to find the city guard. How are you, ma'am? [18:50:13] Mostly security. [18:50:49] "City gerd? You in the wrrroooong place lil'lady." [18:51:26] Yeah, I kinda figured after a while... where would the right place be? [18:51:33] "Gasslak keeps order her', not t'gerd." [18:51:45] Gasslak? [18:52:20] [She points across the balcony, behind Aurora.] [18:52:38] Ah. Alright. Thanks. What're the Gasslak, exactly? [18:52:46] [Aurora can't make anthing out except for a broken statue of what looks to have been a bugbear.] [18:53:24] "Gasslak be a medusa, young'n. Only be one o' him." [18:53:33] "Keeps t'peace." [18:54:00] * Aurora blinks. "Ah." [18:55:44] Alright. Well, thanks for the help. Good day to you, ma'am. [18:56:07] "Y'too." [18:56:15] [She goes back to knitting quietly.] [18:56:41] * Aurora nods, and leaves to find a skycab to... some other place that might be able to help [19:01:08] [After an hour of searching, Aurora catches sight of a lone sykcab and follows it to it's docking area.] [19:01:34] * Aurora moves onward. Quickly. [19:02:36] [Aurora arrives and finds the cab waiting patiently for any customers. The dock is empty of waiting passengers.] [19:03:27] Tumbledown, please. [19:04:52] [There's a ruffle of cheap paper as a middle-aged goblin puts down his week-old copy of the Sharn Inquititve. He blinks from the pilot seat.] [19:05:10] "Ah. Sure thing missy. That'll be 2 silver." [19:05:19] * Aurora hands it over. [19:05:36] Here you go. [19:06:22] [He takes her sovreigns and grins, holding the wheel from his custom-made seat.] [19:07:41] [The ride is relatively short as the old rickety skycab ascends the towers, eventually depositing Aurora in Tumbledown. The place is just as run-down and dirty as she left it.] [19:09:03] * Aurora gets out, tries to find a guard. [19:10:08] [Aurora walks the balconies of the honeycombed towers, trying to find a guard. She looks and looks but to no avail.] [19:10:32] Augh. [19:11:16] [Just when Aurora is about to give up hope she sees two people walking across a skybridge, wearing breastplates emblazoned with the Watch symbol.] [19:11:39] * Aurora blinks, and moves forward, trying to figure out what to say [19:11:52] [Their conversation wafts in the night wind as Aurora approaches.] [19:12:03] "C'mon! Just one date, what could it hurt?" [19:12:25] "Paul, it's against policy. And I'm not that desperate." [19:12:33] [They chuckle.] [19:15:37] Oh, I"m so glad I found you. LIsten, there's a place where they've got people caged, so I went to try to free them, and I got some, but now there are these crazy guys running around down there and I don't know how long the remaining prisoners can last... [19:17:39] [The female patrol...person raises her hands placatingly.] "Woah there, miss, slow down. Now.. you say people are being put in cages? Where?" [19:20:23] It's over at Malleon... it's hard. I ran all over that place trying to find a guard, but not even one. I was almost about to give up here until I found you guys. I don't really know who else to turn to. [19:21:13] "Malleon's Gate? Look... that district isn't exactly on our patrol route, yeah?" [19:21:34] "How many people are we talking here?" [19:24:43] I saw maybe 20 cells. There were maybe four to five of the crazy guys last time I checked. [19:26:17] [The male patrolman frowns.] "Listen, you better come to the garrison with us and give a full report." [19:26:32] Whatever it takes. [19:26:57] [He nods and gestures to his partner and you.] "Alright, follow us." [19:27:22] * Aurora moves along. "Thanks..." [19:29:18] [Aurora is brought to the garrison where she was held earlier but this time as a guest. She's given some snackfood while she is questioned. By the time she's cut through all the red tape, it's been hours and she's given a promise that the Watch will "look into it"] [19:29:52] [Next Scene] [19:45:34] * Sev (~crazysapi@ip24-252-34-39.om.om.cox.net) Quit (Ping timeout) [19:48:50] * NovaSeaker changes topic to 'Minisessions Left: Informing Faela, Mort Granison part II, How Sev got his maul back, Changeling and the Tramp' End of #Sharn buffer Thu Jan 18 19:52:16 2007
