DAY 21 (2nd Tarsakh) cont...
Meanwhile, Raya and Nes were raided by a pair of miscreants posing as Trade's Ward watchmen at the Rat Catcher's
Guild. She had said she was Lilyana, but it soon proved nasty. Also, a man who had been lingering around,
called Marton joined the scuffle and helped eject the two interlopers but unluckily they both got away.
A few minor injuries but thankfully no one at the guild house was killed.
While all that was going on Fenrir was woken up by someone whispering in his ear and he got up to go to the toilet.
I was snoozing away up until the point where I was woken up by a commotion out in the hall. Fenrir, dressed for bed,
was fighting a woman and a man dressed as Trade Ward watchmen.
He was zapped by something magic and then chased off by a magic flying sword, but then Eno leapt into battle from the
shadows and chased them around the dog leg of Fen's passageway that lead to the lavatory.
I took a few swings at the sword but my weapon went straight through it. As the battle moved on though and one of
the attackers went down the sword vanished and a giant snake appeared! I could hit that though and landed a few
good blows.
Fenrir appeared at the window, having skuttled around the outside of the building and aided the fight. Eno attacked
somebody that had been skulking in the lavy and after I hit him, he went down and that was the end of the fight.
The two dead one's turned into dopplegangers!
Fenrir had noticed an angry bunch of thugs outside though and Eno began to lecture us on taking care. He also
seemed to think I had something to do with the posters that had gone up recently and the thugs outside were connected
to that.
Running away seems like a good idea.
As best as I can remember this is what Eno said,
"You guys are really strange ... it is a miracle to me that you are still alive. You are pursuing a
bunch of shape-shifters correct? That is what you have told me. So you could guess that they may get
on your tracks and follow you, OK? And you take little to no precautions ... no secret hide-outs ...
no security around your place ... not even a simple glass-filled bucket to make a racket? Do you have
a death wish? What for do you think these guys have come for? To invite you for a nice cup of tea? They
are here because they wanted to take you over! Lucky I watched this place and noticed them. You saved
the life of my daughter ... so I saved yours. We are even!"
"There is a bunch of guys outside who will bust into this place within the next 5 minutes. I guess they
would to discuss with you the recent street artwork which has been posted throughout Dockward. It is
up to you if you want to negotiate your innocense ... if you want to make a stand and fight for your
survival ... or if you want to run and hide!"
"You have kicked up a wasps hive with one foot and stamped into a scorpion nest with the other. Your
call what you will do next."
