TURN ZEROIt's a nice day to be walking in the Maul. It's hot outside, so there's nothing better than being in a nice cool underground shopping center. The lines at the stores are long, as always, but it's worth it to see the new MicroMail (It doesn't chafe!) socks and shirts (at least for Darvi) and Fiorelli is in her element, among the clothes and shoes. Others are a lot less comfortable in society (you know who you are), but John Smith is having a nice time haggling, even if he doesn't want to buy. Yup. A nice day in the Maul. At least until those crazy cultists took over the food court and started yelling about the "Return of Bel Sham-Haroth". Weren't all those guys reformed? They ran the Young Men's Pagan Association (formerly the Young Men's Reformed Cultists of the Ichor God Bel Sham-Haroth Association)! Down on Gleam Street! As it happens, you were all in the food court. You're all huddled in one corner, with several other hostages, as several cultists point crossbows at you while another few haul over a stone counter and start painting designs on it. With stuff that you
reeeally hope is red paint. They drag a dwarf out and strap him to the altar. Then they rip out his heart.
Oh, Gods (or
Oh, Me, as the case may be), you all think, as you wait for your "turn". They're starting the pseudo-Latin chanting now... When is the watch going to get here? Gaah!
