h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

*A black dragon, covered in armored plating roars loadly, as it lands on a steeple of a church. It roars and then burns fire along the streets, catching 10 houses on fire. Burning trash on the street. It takes off once more and burns the street right next to it.*

*The golden dragon roars over the walls of the slums. Lumien, now pretty secure on its back, nocts an arrow and sends it flying toward the pilot drow as her mount bears down on the black dragon.*

*Lumien's arrow misses the pilot drow by inches.*

/Really/ have to get around to setting up an archery range.

*However, the arrow distracts the drow from the real danger- the dragon's talons. It rips the saddle off, and sends the drow into the air. They die as a result of the dragon's firey breath.*

*The black dragon continues cutting a swath of destruction across the city, while the golden dragon flies away.*

~~~Wait! What about the other dragon?~~~

[Dragon] ~~~Heh. Let the other magicians take care of him! We are out for revenge!~~~

*Lumien holds on tightly, still, apparently, just along for the ride.*

*The Town Crier walks into the slums ringing his bell*

Oyez oyez, citizens of Imardin, There is a healer in the market square, all are welcome

*A few civilians come out carrying their wounded family members. Some with extremely burned bodies.*

*Polonius enters the slums area carying one of the elementalist's umbrellas*

*he waves the umbrella in the air and opens it*

*clouds swirl around the quarter and it begins to rain, extinguishing the smoldering fires and washing away the ashes in the street into the sewers*

*Polo walks to the old Chamber of Commerce, a stately granite building that was once a theater, and knocks on the door*

*there is no answer at the door, so he walks cautiously down the alley looking for a side door*

*not finding an unlocked door, heads back to the Daft Chef*

*A figure moves through the shadows looking for someone he can find information from.*


*Sadly a poor soul was walking from his house to the market to gra some food when he was confronted by the mysterious figure.*


*Perched up on the top of a rundown building the figure jumps down right in front of the pedestrian. The figure pulls a dagger out and places it to the neck of the scared pedestrian.*


[Figure]You will tell me everything you know about the magicians guild or you will die.


*Shakes from fear.*


[Pedestrian]What? All i know is that its north of here by the palace. It's led by High Lord Craxus thats all! Please dont kill me!


[Figure]Fine...you may keep your pathetic life.


*The Figure leaps up and lands on top of the roof. And takes off for the magicians guild.*

*Sharmin lands deep in the slums, he dismounts and wander silently until he comes across and man lying in the doorway, he walks over and grabs the man by the scruff of the neck*

YOU'LL DO.....

*He throws the man against the wall and rams his fist deep into the mans chest, His claws slice through muscle and tissue as he thrust his hand deeper and deeper searching, he pushes it further past bone and organ until his fist closes around the man heart, Sharmin squeezes and pulls, the look on the tramps face on of sheer terror as Sharmin rips the life from his body, Sharmin laughs as he tears out the man heart and with his claws write's a note upon the mans chest*

Lady Shaylar.
Remember our agreement.

*Sharmin drops the heart next to the bdy and brings his bloody hand up to his lips, he licks his palm tasting the sweet blood and smiles. He walks back to his steed and mounts riding off into the slums*

*Sharmin awakens lying in the gutter deep in the heart of the slums, Adonis nuzzles him awake and groggily he gets up*

Morning faithful steed... *he pats adonis on the neck*

What were we drinking last night..?

*he looks down and see's his cloak is slightly torn and he is covered filth but otherwise he is unharmed*

EEEEWWWWWWW.....

*Sharmin rushes to unpack his grooming kit he straightens his hair, has a quick shave and wash and within minutes he is back to looking his normal handsome self*



That's better...

Come Adonis we must find Lady Sharmin before she eludes us once again.

*Sharmin mounts his steed, he brings him to reign and gallops off into the city*

HYA...

< Lady Sharmin?, care to fill us in Ena>

*Right outside the walls, Kazinishi finds an old ditch that leads to a secret and very well concealed passageway into the city. It was likely forgotten about when the slums were built. It leads a short distance through the sewers and comes up through a drain.*

*Emerges and sees a mangled corpse lying in the gutter, no-one paying any attention. The seriously bad conditions in this area remind Kazinshi of the conditions that the untouchable caste in India face. He grows slightly nostalgic at the though tof India, a countyr in hois home world...*

*Bends over the body and sees that it has not been deas too long. Further, it seems to be, though is not necessarily, the work of a Relch'hassik demon in possession of a Human. Takes a bit of the body's bllood in his fingers.*

Ti ke chrai faningen!

*Head jerks up, and he can sense the direction of the murderer. Heads off in that direction.*
