"One point for Hendrix" Farnham thought as the guardsmen encircled them "If he didnt instigate this then I'm a barbarian!" Suddenly Ell, in the shape of a sparrow flew over the guards heads then disapeared in a flash. Farnham used this moment of distraction to create a quick (and hopefully convincing) illusion. As the attention of the gaurds returned to the group the sound of another horse approaching rang loudly. Sitting on the horse was an officer and his features showed that he was not happy. [Admin: It can be assumed that Farnham saw this guy while wandering thru Generica and is now hoping that he dont show up to spoil the illusion!] "WHAT ARE YOU FOOLS DOING!?" the officer cried "HALF THE TOWN IS UNDER ATTACK BY MUTANTS AND YOUR CHASING RUFFIANS?" The leader of the guardsmen stuttered out a reply "B...B...But there assasins....we have orders.." "ASSASINS MY REAR-END, GET MOVING NOW BEFORE YOUR WASHING POTATOES IN THE MESS!!" with that the officer swung his horse around rode off. Luckily nobody had noticed the sweat on Farnhams brow nor the fact that his lips had moved slightly,right in time with the officer. Some of the guardsmen were shifting uneasily in there saddles and looking questioningly at there leader.
