Anyone Want To Smash Some Skulls?
Vyle sat down against the outer wall of the Scale Yard bar and looked up at the sky. 'Cloudy, very cloudy. Overcast from the ocean.' The Iksar thought to himself as he continued to look at the ever darkening sky.
"BOSS! BOSS! BOSS!" yelled a voice which reverberated through the alley behind the bar. Vyle looked up and watched a female Ratonga run up to him and saluted. She had a solid black coat of fur with multiple golden hoops on each large ear.
"Go ahead, Souris. What is it you want?"
"Boss, everyone is banding together at the main gate o'er yonder." She pointed at the menacing black gate of Freeport. "Today is the day we assault the Gnolls and finish their raids once an' for all." She sat down next to her life-long friend. "Ya' see, we need as many field Captains as possible, an' many voted that you were good Capn' material." She looked up at Vyle who looked down at her.
"Alright, I'll take the offer." Souris smiled widely. She stood up and started making her way towards the main gate.
"Come on, then Capn'!" Souris yelled back at Vyle. He stood up and started to follow his friend.
"You know," Vyle started. "We could get Smash to come, too. He loathes Gnolls." Vyle turned and saw Smash emptying the garbage into heaps on the alley floor behind his bar. "Smash!" Vyle yelled to his Ogre friend. "You want to smash some Gnolls?" Smash looked back and shook his head.
"Vyle, ya' know any other day I would, but, business is roarin'."
"Suit yourself…" Vyle started to walk off. Smash looked back at the bar and then towards Vyle with a look of wanting.
"Oi! Vyle! Wait for me! Don't you leave me back ere'!" Smash bellowed as he ran towards Vyle and Souris who were waiting by the exit to the Scale Yard.
