THEChanger's Curse of the Crimson Throne: Edge of Anarchy

[Inspectre]

Gavin had to admit that the sight of the chelish lady getting her ass handed to her in negotiations by a rugged child was amusing.
Clearly she wasn't used to dealing with the sort of hardened children who grew up in the filth overshadowed by two-bit tyrants like Gaedren Lamm, and thus were not afraid of anything.
Then the screaming started, and the fishery shifted on its pilings - not enough to be dangerous but more than enough to suggest that something very bad was happening below them.
Clawing at his belt pouch with his buckler hand, he tears it off and tosses the thin pouch of money at the kid's chest.

"Here's what I have on me. If we don't come back, use it to get as far as you can. Like milady said, tie Yargin up and drag him out with you - don't kill him, but feel free to smear some fish guts in his hair!"

Gavin growls, pushing past the gaggle of children and vaulting over the low railing of the walkway to land heavily on the workshop floor.
As he goes, he mulls over what Lady Selancourte said - she had a point in bringing up his promise to find the children a home.
He *had* made that promise a bit cavalierly, even though the children hadn't seemed as eager to hold him to that as they had her.
Then again, he was a ragged mercenary and she - well, she was a noblewoman and a famous diva!

Finally he grunts out an answer as he runs down the gankplank leading into the ship.

"Gonna need something to do after Lamm is dead. I thought we'd figure it out as we went along, like the rest of this job. Course, having the help of Lady Vestis Selancourte, famous Diva and Sorceress *would* undoubtedly make that easier."

Gavin quipped, favoring the lady with a smile, although with a slight sinking feeling in his stomach that perhaps, like a man seeking the favor of Asmodeus, he really didn't want Milady's help but he was going to get it anyway . . . and regret it to no end.

Those concerns faded as he got to the bottom walkway leading into Lamm's bolthole beneath the fishery, just as how to convince the children had faded when the screaming started.

"What in the Hells Below is going on down here!?"

Free Round 9 Move (Thanks a whole lot for the bonus movement TheChanger! Though I suppose I'll be cursing your name when we get down there right in the thick of the fight instead of cleaning up. )
