"I'd rather risk the voices," Fred says after a moments thought. "If the voices turn out to be some type of ruse, we run! If not, we beg help from Synizn....since that's why we went looking for him in the first place.

"Now," Fred says worriedly, glancing up at the blackened overhead. "What the mage should be doing in such a forsaken city that the gods have obviously pissed upon....I know not. But what I do know is that I fear risking using a magical device that I have no real understanding of....more than I fear this fell city!"

The desperate demi-foxes gather up their belongings and then jump onto the bespelled warcharger (who had somehow got caught up in....whatever had happened and had stood quietly by as the lawyer had died).

A few momments latter they are passing a whithered grove of trees....when they hear a THUD and then.....voices.......

Voices that echo all around!!
