Surprising turnabout...considering the place

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 1746

Fred screams in anger as he chases after the assasins, out for blood.

The young thugs smash their way through the door and think that they are almost free and clear. They can easily lose any pursuit in the nearby crown when....they run into a patrol of the Town Guard! What in the Hel s the Guard doing in THIS part of the town....instead of the rich parts. The youngsters try to push themselves off the fallen guards and run, but are quickly grappled and silenced by well placed billy clubs to the skull.

"Now, what's the meaning of this?" mutters the lead Guard. "What did these two do to be in such a big hurry? I swear....this is the third group of rascals this morning who bumped into us this morning!" Amazing! After all, it was well known that the Syndicate wanted to make this town more secure.....to attract the higher class of criminals.....so the Syndicate could make bigger profits in products and services. Products and services that were so popular that they were almost legal! But to do THIS....this town had to flush out the gutter punks (who didn't bring about a better return on investment!)

The demi-fox rounds the corner, is stopped and questioned by the Guard and the Obligatory mage (a recent addition to the the Patrol). The mage speaks after the round of questions.

"The fox speaks the truth," the mage says, looking at disgust at the vigilantes. The young thugs stuggle and spit at the mage, and then are knocked silly again by the guards. "Take them with us to the scene of the crime."

****************************************************************

Synizn fumbles with the glass figurine as the vengful knight tears out of the bar. Something that his old friend told him gives him hope that this atrocity can be undone....... Malachi had said that human and humanoids bodies sometimes weren't totally dead until long after the heart and lungs stop...... If he could just neutralize the damn poison before it killed the kits and then restart the vixen's heart......

Astra's body glows a light blue, and then she gives off a shuddering gasp and she blinks as she looks up into the sweating face of the were-bear.

"Got it just in time," mutters the mage just before passing out from the strain.

*****************************************************************

"So," sighs the Lead Guard. "What's your verdict, Thomas?"

"Well, this pagan trash DID attempt to murder the demi-fox," Tom says. "Magical probes as well as Synizn's word....."

"SYNIZN?" interrupts the guard. "The one who warned the Council about Moreau?"

"For a fee....." mutters Tom. "The same one, Lars. Anyway, they are guilty as sin.....but it will be months before the Judge sees this case. I.....feel something should be done to 'reward' this trash for their efforts while they enjoy the 'hospitality' of our jail. Something that might cause them to....save us 'honest' folk time and money of the trial....."

The Guard grab and hold the sullen thugs fast as Fred smiles in his intermediate form.....

Latter, the guards drag the moaning youngsters into the cell and slam the jail door close. The youngsters feel like their blood is afire and nurse the DOZENS of bite marks the demi-fox left all over their bodies. Even these dimbulbs know that the chances of.....something changing during next weeks full moon is.....a sure bet.......

  1. Latter, the demi-foxes are getting ready for the main event. Synizn goes through the motions......
  2. Latter, the demi-foxes are getting ready for the main event. Synizn goes through the motions...... (which one? you decide...)
