7 - 049: An Army of the Dark

[K Man]

Londo and Graak - The ancient Dwarf shuffles his bulk a bit, stretching what seems like tired and worn muslces.

"Horses? I got a few of them left...I think. They ain't much to look at though...how far you lookin' to go?"

He motions through a grimy rear window to a dusty patch of land out back. There, among the dried yucca plants and tumbleweeds stand three horses. Even from here, you can tell they are not load-bearing horses and just your weight alone would probably crack their already visible ribs in half.

Sigh...
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elxethan - Senolai slips through the small crack in the floor under the brothel and returns rather quickly, as though the devil himself was on her heels.

She flaps to your side and you begin the strange trek through town.

{Where are you headed? Just out of town?}
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Drop'Gar - Arturick smiles that same wicked smile.



"Good. Glad to hear you've taken my offer for good conversation."

He moves and begins to twist a few knobs here and there on the bridle holding your mouth open. The bar hits your teeth, sending jolts down your already bruised spine and thankfully it takes but a few seconds before the bar is fully removed.

Arturick moves before you, keeping ample distance from biting range - he's not fool.



"Now...where is sh."

He's cut short by a tug on his robes from one of the fetal zombies. He looks down, follows the baby's arm to the exterior of the prison and reads something you can't on the construct's face.

"For love of..."

"I'm sorry, our little chat will have to be postponed for a mere moment."

"Don't go anywhere."

His jokes are becoming tiresome...

He leaves, headed back to the main laboratory. He closes the door behind and leaves you hanging, albeit without the mouth bit for just a second. He returns in less than a minute, holding a bit of parchment with a hastily scribbled sentence on it.

He examines it and then looks to you.



"Tell me. Who's out there waiting for me?"

Furrowing his eyebrows at teh note in his captor's hands Drop'Gar wishes to know what was said in teh note.

"I suppose that something of import is on that parchment; but how am I to respond to your question without knowing the nature of your request?"

"How should I know whats outside when I'm obviously a captive in here...? Maybe you should go yourself and find out, eh?"

<insert feeble old guy tied up to a wall laughter here>

[Toptomcat]

(Could putting our stuff on them and then having them trot alongside speed us up a bit?)

[BluSpecs]

We intend to head up into the desert and may not return for some time. We'd hate to deprive you of your only horses. Are there any othe roptions within this town?
