The attack draws blood from the dog, causing it to begin foaming from the mouth. Sunam missed a kick, while Saya finished off the badly wounded one. Tremal shot both again, one looking rather wounded.

The heavily wounded doge tried for a bite on you and missed again. The other bit Tremal.

Tim didn't like the looks of that foam-- he struck with another Dark Blade, hoping to finish the creature off quickly.

If an 11 hits, 23 Dark

The dog fell, leaving just one left. Sunam's punch rocked the remaining dog as, Saya shot, it putting it down.

"Well done," said Tim.  "Is everyone all right?"

"Yeah, damn things had a heck of a bite," Tremel said, chugging a potion.

"When you're ready, we'd better keep moving," said Tim.  "I'm going to need to be careful with how I use my power..."

"I'm good now, let's go," Tremal said. It was a large area of many seedy hotels, shops and other sketchy businesses.

"...I guess we'd better start asking around," said Tim.  He wasn't sure how well this would work, but they might at least wind up distracting the Corp.

There was a group of women hanging around that was talking amongst themselves, but stop and all of them turn to you and smile as you approach.

"Good evening," said Tim.  "I'm sorry to bother you, but we're looking for someone who's running from the Corp.  We'd like to help her."

"I can't say I know anything about that," one of the women said and the others agreed.

Tim sighed, took a few coins out, and tossed them in his hands.

"Are you sure?" he asked.

"We really don't know anything, but what does this person look like?" one of the women asked as he pocketed the coins.

Tim shrugged and told them the minimal details he'd heard.

"Yeah, I think I saw a girl like that," one of the women said. "She went down that road and went right."

"Was she alone?" Tim asked.

"She had like two or three people with her. I'm not sure on the exact number," the woman said.

"All right," said Tim.  "Thank you."

He went in that direction.

As you head down there, you see a team of Corp soldiers searching the area.

"Well," said Tim.  "Let's approach them.  Perhaps they're saying something useful-- and if not, why, we can hinder their plans..."

As you get close, one of the soldiers turned and looked at you.

"What are you lot up to?"

"We're looking for this missing Ancient," said Tim.  "Have you see one around here?"

The man drew his gun.

"Now how do you know about that?" he asked.

Tim raised his blade.

"Well, we were told by a solider," he said.  "But I asked you a question.  To refuse to answer would be rude."

"We got a problem, guys!" the soldier called out to the others.
