Burning Skies Saloon
Yiski:
--START OF DAY 38--
--NARRATOR--
Roland woke up early as he usually did. Last night's outburst by BdrLine and the subsequent thoughts still were fresh in Roland's mind, but the sleep was able to help him put the thoughts on the back burner. All he wanted to think about was enjoying his time with Ny-Lee and having fun with her.
By the time Roland made his way to the saloon, he saw Yiski washing the windows outside. Roland chuckled. Because the warm season had started and more people were coming into Anvala, Yiski needed to make the saloon at least presentable on the outside.
Good morning Yiski.
Yiski turned to see Roland and nodded.
Mornin'.
Without further words, Roland reached down and grabbed a spare rag and helped Yiski in finishing the cleaning.
Meanwhile at the Docks, among the hustle and bustle of new arrivals, a group of men gathered outside the entrance.
Are you sure those two are here?
Based on the intercepted radio transmissions, yes.
Good. Time to make some good money boys.
The group broke up and they headed out into Anvala.
--NARRATOR END--
RearAdmiralZill:
-Narrator-
Zill woke up somewhat refreshed. The previous night had filled his mind with so many new thoughts, that the old ones didnt make an appearance. BdrLine's comments about Jun'ko and marriage was the least pressing thing on his mind. The dancing was still fresh. It was one of his best nights. The Council also picked at his brain. He knew his next mission up North was going to come soon.
He carefully got out of bed to not wake Jun'ko, and walked out onto the main deck of the Galleon. The Docks were full of life. The warm season was going to bring a lot of fresh bodies and trade, especially with the restructured large docks. He leaned off the port bow and gazed at the dockmen below.
Jun'ko had woken up despite Zill's best efforts. She was still humming tunes from last night. She came up behind Zill and wraped him in a hug.
Good morning Zill.
Good morning sunshine. How are you?
Still picturing last night. It really was one of my best.
Glad we can agree.
They both chuckled and watched the dockmen go about their day. A feeling came over Zill. He felt something was not quite right. He couldnt place it, but he took a deep breath and let out a short grunt.
Something wrong?
Just a feeling I cant shake. Something in the air doesnt feel quite right.
On a beautiful day like today? I surely dont feel anything except that sunrise.
Im goin' to head over to the Saloon just to make sure. If nothing is wrong then you can call me paranoid when I get back. Deal?
Fair enough, my Admiral. I'll buzz them on the radio for you as well.
Zill got his fighting gear on. This feeling of his may of been nothing, but he wasnt about to be unprepared. With his iron knuckles, steel boots, and hand pistol with a few spare rounds from Yiski, he set off toward the Burning Skies.
Jun'ko dug out a set of her throwing knives from her things. She wasnt about to be caught off guard again like last night. Knives around her belt, and wrench in her pocket, she made for the radio and hailed the Saloon.
Galleon to Skies, anyone awake?
-End Narrator-
Yiski:
--Saloon--
*After Roland and Yiski finished touching up the outside of the saloon, the two went inside. Yiski decided to fix up the main floor and sent Roland to make sure the equipment was good. A few minutes of work passed before Roland came out and called to Yiski.*
Yiski, there is a radio transmission coming from Jun'ko.
*Yiski shrugged and walked into the back room. He answered the transmission.*
This is Skies. What's on your mind Jun'ko?
RearAdmiralZill:
-Docks-
*Jun'ko sat on the upper deck and answered.*
Hey Yiski. Zill was having some bad vibes and wanted me to see if all was ok. He's on his way now just to make sure for himself I guess. I want to call him paranoid but i even have my knives out just in case. He seemed pretty serious about it.
Yiski:
--Saloon--
*Yiski to Jun'ko over the radio*
Zill's feelin' a bit paranoid, huh? Hmm.... not sure why, but I got the same vibes. I'll make sure things are safe here. Skies out.
*Yiski made his way back to the front and took down Blood Bolt. Yiski unloaded the non-lethal ammo and reloaded the rifle with lethal heavy rounds (like heavy rounds in the game, but with the added perk of being non-piercing).*
*Roland joins Yiski behind the bar and has a worried look on his face.*
Do you think some one is after you again?
*Yiski shrugs*
Maybe.
*As soon as Yiski cocks the rifle, three men walk into the saloon.*
Sorry, pal, not open yet. *Turns to Roland* Can't believe I forgot to lock the door.
Sorry to bother you, but I'm just looking for some information. I heard this is a popular place and thought it would be a good place to start.
*Yiski inspect the men.*
They're wearing light infantry armor, equipped with rope, rifle, and pistol. Dammit... mercenaries. What sort of info are you lookin' for?
Have you heard of a man and young woman by the names of BdrLineAzn and Ny-Lee?
*Roland, still in the back, overhears the question and immediately gets back to the radio.*
Jun'ko! Jun'ko are you there? We got a problem. Some people arrived asking about BdrLineAzn and Ny-Lee. I repeat someone is looking for BdrLineAzn and Ny-Lee!
*Back at the main floor*
I might of heard of them. What's it to you?
It's business related. No concern to you.
*Yiski then saw the left mercenary reach for his pistol. Yiski immediately raised his rifle.*
I don't know what you bloody mercenaries are doin' in Anvala, but you don't walk into my saloon then try to draw your weapons on me!
Take it easy old man.
*The leader motions to the left mercenary to back off and he does. The leader then raises his hand and points it at Yiski.*
By the bloody skies. ROLAND! STAY BACK AND STAY DOWN!
*Suddenly a hail of bullets volley into the saloon through the windows. Yiski is forced to take cover behind counter and takes blind shots over the counter.*
*Meanwhile, Roland hears the shots ring out and see a few of them penetrate the wall. Roland scrambles and yells into the radio.*
JUN'KO! THE SALOON IS UNDER ATTACK!
*A penetrating bullet then hits the radio.*
