THE WAREHOUSE
He grabs a loose cargo net and hurls it at the man by the open shutters. The thief falls, tangled and cursing loudly.
The nearer man lifts his pry bar and stands.
''You'd better--''
Mercy appears in Sir Clive's hands!
The burglar drops the iron bar and bolts for the open window.
Sir Clive leaps after him and brings the flat of the great-sword down on his skull.
The man crashes, stunned, into his mate who has just now freed himself from the net but not cast it aside.
The burglar at the bottom of the two-man-and-one-net pile yelps-
''We give up!''
Sneaking that way (his armor remains magically stored) Sir Clive spots one burglar prying open a chest while another lurks near an open window.ewancummins wrote:RocEter wrote: Sir Clive
