Story 10/21

In 5/6ths land, a platoon of the city guard near the market rushed in after Praesens was assassinated. The commander of the platoon was interrogating people, and took special interest in Erevan and the interaction there with the shardmind. Monashe (Klepac) was able to find a shady person in the crowd, and convinced the guards to check him out. Meanwhile, the man standing next to Khaelis (Plate) was acting very shifty. Monashe managed to reveal a bunch of bombs strapped to the shifty guy's chest, and the guards investigating the shady person were killed in a suicide bomb attack. This prompted the dwarf leader of the city guards to order everyone brought to the keep. Just prior to being transported to the keep, the commander of the original platoon slipped a note to Khaelis.

While being transported to the keep, Erevan's sword was stolen by the city guard, but he was easily able to steal it back (almost too easy). The city guards took them to a supply silo that was converted into a torture chamber, and told Monashe "he can't see behind him". A monstrous executioner and the man who escaped the marketplace entered the room, and the executioner stayed to presumable torture the group plus 3 others (3 others being the bug massager, a merchant and a dwarf that seems to be sided with the people who plotted the assassination. Several people broke free of their chains, but Erevan drew the executioners attention. A fight ensued, and the 5 were able to subdue the executioner, even after the dwarf started helping him. Afterwards the group interrogated the dwarf, and he claimed he was working his way up a crime syndicate, and this was his big break. After things started getting tense, he flailed at Monashe, who killed him. He seemed almost happy to die at that point...

Meanwhile, in 1/6ths land, three men named Beorn, Cember and Apolly are fleeing the scene of Praesen's assassination. They decide to go to Cember and Apolly's hideout in the slums. Along the way, they encounter 2 nefarious men who are blocking the path. Beorn takes them on single handedly, and traps them by burning a cart blocking the path. Beorn was injured in the fight, and Cember and Apolly patch him up.
