The Stolen Seas

[wolfmanalone]

Well, at least they aren't focusing on me. Dallas thought as he helped with one of the cannons. The shot was off, hitting the ship near the prow.

The desert shook with slight tremors occasionally, the sand shifted and rose as if a mountain was rising out of the earth, slight vibrations sounded as a low roar rumbled out of the lifting grains of sand. Several massive tentacles shot out of the ground and into the air then fell onto the desert floor making a wave of sand and dust rise high into the sky, sand burst upward as a giant sand krakken flew out of the hot desert grain with a loud and monsterous roar that filled the open area.

Riding on the back of the krakken was a women with tentacles for legs, she appeared to have a demonic look to her, the fact that she feasted on the flesh and blood of man didn't help that outlook, but it kept her hunger and thirst quenched. Her tentacles were wrapped around her as she made a air tight ball with them to keep the sand out of her face, she dropped her tentacles down as surveyed the surrounding area to look for a delicious morsel of a man to injest and feast upon.

Beanna squinted her eyes and held her hand horizontal on her forehead to be able see what happened not too far away from her. It was still a very hot day, although a few hours had passed and it wasn't sweltering hot like before. On the left of her, some dust clouds had seemed to form. A worried look came upon Beanna's face as she remembered the horrifying stories some traveling merchants had told her about man, literally drowning in sandstorms, choking in sand and to never be found again. Despite the heat, a shiver went down her spine and she took her bow off her back and clenched it tightly. But looking up at the sky made her wonder if sand storms weren't supposed to be like dark clouds.... If it happened to be something else, she'd be able to face it... but how was she supposed to fight against a storm? Beanna ripped a piece of cloth from her cloak and wrapped it around her nose and mouth. IF she'd be surprised by a sandstorm, she'd at least not be choked in a minute. She sped up a bit and noticed the contours of a city-like figure in the distance. At this distance she couldn't tell how large it was, but it presumably was Port Port Gladius.

[Myst]

Echo looked around the strange port. Well, strange to her. She had never been in a place like this before.
She looked to Dash for what to do. "Where do we go? Who do we talk to?"

[Chazz]

"We go to the Bucket of Blood, and I talk to a ship's captain about hiring." replied Dash as he stopped at the gate's entrance.
An armored knight stood guard with his comrade, "Halt, state your name and business for being at Port Gladius."
"Bullshit..I don't have to tell the damn Templar anything, you guys don't have a law around her anymore." said Dash as knocked the clipboard from the Knight's hands.
Dash continued on into the city, walking a little faster as he whispered "Hurry up, pick up the speed..we gotta lose them."
He ducked down an alley way, dodging in and out of other people, crates, vendors, and pigs..as you could hear the shouts of STOP!

Joan heard the commotion and stepped into the ally. She smiled when she saw Dash. "In trouble again i see." She folded her arm across her chest making no move to help them. She looked at the two women. She walked over to Echo. "You dont really seem Dashs type. But then gain its been so long." She gave a sneer to Dash. "so how do you plan to get out of this one?"

[Chazz]

"Never the solution, always the problem Joan." said Dash as he grabbed Echo's hand, and told her to grab the other one's hand to.
Dash cut the rope of the pulley, then grabbed it quickly as it shot them up the side of the wall like an elevator.
"Today, you get to be part of the solution." said Dash as he blew her a kiss and the pointed back up the alley at the Templar guards.
Dash stepped onto the roof, "Hurry..come on." he said as he stayed low and moved quickly about the rooftops.

Beanna glanced back at the sky to the south of her. The sandstorm hadn't seemed to come any closer to her, and maybe it was even moving another way. She sighted in relief, she wasn't really in the mood to put up with a storm or a group of bandits... or worse. She came closer to the city and finally was able to see it in it's full glory. The city was huge, built in a arena-form with impressive large buildings. She looked up at the city in awe for a good few minutes until she unfroze again and walked up to a caravan that just passed her. She still had her bow in her hand, but tied it on her back before she approached an armored man that seemed to be a mercenary who was hired by the merchant along with some others if she wasn't mistaken.

"Excuse me, I'm quite sure that that city over there is Port Gladius. But I wouldn't like to be mistaken." she asked, trying to be as polite as possible even though the long journey through the seemingly endless mass of sand hadn't left her in a good mood. She walked next to the man as they and the caravan came closer to the city.
The guard looked at her, estimating, probably thinking if she'd be a threat to him or'd make a good price as a slave. After looking at her bow and slightly frowned eyebrows he probably rejected both thoughts and answered her.
"Yeah missy, that'd be our great Port. The proud of this part 'o the land. Suprised really that ya 'aven't heard of it before. Came from far missy?" he asked, seemingly innocent.
"Too far to travel in the short amount of time that I have without getting a bit cantankerous, so I'll continue on my way if you don't mind. Thanks for the information anyway."
"I'm sorry miss. But I'm sure you've heard o' the thing called mone for conversance, haven't ya? So what do ya gotta offer me t'day?" the man said as he gripped one of his daggers. Before he could take it out Beanna had already taken out her own dagger and pricked it in the weak parts of his stomach.
"Well how about I don't slice your stomach in two and let you claim your wage without having to spend it on medical costs, aye?" She asked with a sweet smile. The man grunted his teeth but admitted his loss and gestured her to continue her way.
"I'm sure we'll meet soon 'gain missy. Just ya wait, yo'll gimme ya payment." he said with a chilly smile.
"I'm not so sure about that good sir." She answered as she disappeared into the crowd of the city, not letting her eyes of him.
She wondered why on earth there was no guard near a city the size of this. But they probably had something different on their mind.

Joan sighed and and pulled out her dagger. She sliced her arm and roughed up her hair putting dirt on her face. She put her weapons in a hiding place before fluffing up her breasts. She then ran towards the guards. "Please please help me!" She begged, holding her arm and crying. "A man cam through here and took my money he sliced my arm up." Her bossem heaved with her "tears".
