Meshtak casts his eyes nervously upward at the creaking roof, then
around for escape. Sir Tyrone indicates a drainage pipe, but one
look and Meshtak realizes it will be a tight crawl for him, and Blade
himself had no chance of getting in there. The draga looked at Blade,
thinking the cave-in likely wouldn't hurt him, but if Meshtak left him,
who knew what trouble Blade would get into? Besides, thought the plainsman,
as he looked at the pipe, entering there was practically inviting
claustrophobia.
Just then, the roof made a sickening lurch, and Meshtak looked up to
see it start to give. Before he could think, Blade was beside him, smelling
like well-oiled steel. "Fowwo 'e!!" the motherspawn spoke, and Meshtak
didn't think, only trusted and followed. Blade plunged toward the wall at
a sprint, and smashed through it at a dead run. It didn't even slow him,
he just bashed through the wall as fast as he could run. Meshtak didn't
think, just followed him through, dimly aware of rocks collapsing
behind him and around him. And then, before he knew it, the wind whipped
rain in his face, and Meshtak knew they had made it. They were outside.
It was raining like mad, and the wind was whipping things at them at
enough speed that even the smallest twigs hurt like arrows. Meshtak
cast his eyes around, and noticed the temple to Joyla, the All-Bringer,
marking the change from eastside to lowtown. The temple was solid
stone, unbendable in the storm, and Meshtak struggled to make his
way to the structure. He lost sight of Blade until he was in the
shelter of the temple. Searching frantically, he made out the vague
outline of the motherspawn through the pouring rain. The massive
behemoth stood, stoicly, in the middle of the storm. Waiting.

Meshtak the Draga
