"Are you going to do something?" We were seated with the other passengers, our weapons (my revolver and Nidget's silly little crossbow) were sitting amongst a pile of other passengers weaponry (most people ride trains with weapons, as this little robbery proved we should). We were in the lead car crammed in with a bunch of other people, there were six robbers, only one of them was not outwardly showing signs of corruption. They looked to have been lead by an ugly lady with crazy eyes, who appeared to actually be completely corrupted (as in a crazy magic user) which was weird because from my experience when you are corrupted you crazy town, not you know robbing people on a train.
"Sure Nidget I'll use magic on people who are bathed in it, its not like that could possibly fail on me." Corrupted people aren't immune to magic most of the time, but I have run across some who can seemingly eat it, which is terrifying in a way I don't have to explain.
"We can't just sit here Trezlan they are planning on robbing us." They were of course, going from passenger to passenger taking things from people, two of their number were also I assumed going to the luggage compartment and stealing from there.
"Do you have a plan? I mean other than 'Do Something'?"
"No, but if they take my cards we'll be screwed."
"You're cards?" I was intrigued, we were going to Lork for some competition, I didn't realize Nidget planned on just outwardly cheating to win, I mean I should have assumed that, but you know sometimes I give him the benefit of the doubt.
"YOU SHUT UP!" The scream came from the corrupted leader, it referenced that she was indeed bat shit crazy, her scream pierced my ears to the point of drawing blood (not even kidding). Nidget looked at me with concern and I shrugged my shoulders, whatever was going to happen was going to happen.
And happen it did.
