"A machine, a vehicle built to transport people and supplies through the skies. "

[Solymr]

~~~~Chapter 1x: Daring Escape~~~~

The group, now with Ace in tow, made their way from the library to the shipyards, in the far northern parts of the new Auroch. And in the way, they found out how popular they'd made themselves amongst the people.

The shipyards were just a set of stairs away. The small garden had a couple of equally small trees and shops, and more than a few streets heading out. Ways out that suddenly armed men started blocking, and from behind a familiar voice called them out.

: Well, well, well, if it isn't my friends from earlier. What a coincidence finding you here, wouldn't you say? Now, I've found myself a few friends, and we are going to play a little game.

Dionisos unsheathed his axe and rested it on the floor.

: We are going to hunt you down if anyone sees you in Auroch again. But don't worry, I'll give you a headstart. We'll stay for a moment, then the hunt starts, unless you try to invade our personal space, of course. Let's see if you make it out of there and whatever happens, happens.

[SeriousConcentrate]

"Damn.... from every side... How did he find us?"

Why didn't you tell me this was coming!?

I'm not omniscient. Maybe you should have spent more time training instead of trying to drown me in cheap wine.

"...Tch."

"The shipyards are to the north, correct? We just need to break through and forget about the ones behind us!"

William moves to G8.

[Praefectus Screptum]

"The walls have ears, William, as long as you are paying or threatening said walls. When I said 'he is going to hunt us down', I truly meant he was going to hunt us down."
H, 8.

[Chevaleresse]

"Let them come." The grip on her weapon and her face said everything else that needed to be said. F9

[Swordstar]

J8

[GiglameshDespair]

"That is quite a few of them."

"Let them come."

"I personally would prefer if they did not, actually."

G9

[Sirus]

: "I'm with Clara. Let's just skedaddle before they all come after us."

H-9

[Chevaleresse]

Vigdis's only response was a derisive-sounding grunt.

[SeriousConcentrate]

"Let's clear out our escape route first, and then worry about taking out anyone else. We'll be doing Auroch a service by eliminating these villains, but we don't need to put ourselves in danger either."

[Praefectus Screptum]

"Vigdis, while your 'eagerness' is appreciated, we aren't here to fight, and we certainly don't have the gear or numbers to fight that many foes so we should indeed focus our priorities."
"For now the best we can do is advance without attacking, if they truly intend to give us a headstart we will take it. Our main priority is reaching those stairs, so feel free to pierce the skull of those ones whenever we reach them."

[IamanElfCollaborator]

"Y-yeah, I agree with William. I-I don't like our odds if we stay here and fight them all."
I-9

[Chevaleresse]

"Not being here to fight does not mean we should shy away when battle presents itself. Surely you do not believe there will be no fighting on the way to this treasure." She looked around at the gangsters. "Or that this rabble has some kind of superior tactic that will allow them to defeat us. Look at how spread out their force is."

[Praefectus Screptum]

"I think your thirst for blood might be affecting you at this point. The time we take fending off just a few of them will be more than enough for the rest of his gang to join the fight and overwhelm us, so please, follow our lead."

[Chevaleresse]

"Bah. The only thing I thirst for is a world without thugs like these. Are you expecting me to run into the mass of them like a fool?"
