Their boat had eventually docked, the boarding planks connected the ship to the dock for passengers to safety get off & rigging had been set-up for hoisting cargo onto the pier from the ship, which both Tobias & Katia where helping the crew load the cargo into the rigging nets. Katia passed Tobias for the twentieth time sneered at him as she spoke [color=FFFF00]"I cant believe you stopped me from going to visit the town & getting off this boat!, you know how long I've been wanting off this ship Tobias!"[/color] Katia stops just as she loudly drops several crates onto the netting before walking past Tobias to get more. Tobias just sighed walking past carrying several large crates that would normally take two men to lift one of, [color=00FFFF]"Look we got a place on-board for free, and they got us here the least we could do is spend a little more time helping out, we'll be living on land from here out anyway so you'll get off the boat soon enough so stop moaning..."[/color]. 

Tobias delicately placed the crates down on the rigging net and when he stood back upright he heard shouting coming from the direction of the town, His attention abruptly interrupted by another load thud as Katia unceremoniously dropped another crate down onto the others but she noticed the shouting from the town as-well as she enthusiastically spoke up [color=FFFF00]"Sounds like a lively place at least..."[/color].

As they stood looking towards the town other members of the ships crew joined them as the shouting & yelling got louder as all began wondering what was going on. Then a building in the distance burst into flames Katia after tilting her head & placing her hands on her hips as she jested [color=FFFF00]"A very lively place if that's anything to go by huh?!"[/color] She turned to face Tobias with a comical grin which faded as she saw his serious expression. it wasn't long before people came running along the docks yelling [color=00FA9A]"monsters!, at the tavern!, run!"[/color] for all to hear. Several families that had gotten off worryingly scurried back on-board the ship as the captain hearing the cries walked over to Tobias horror-stricken as he spoke [color=00FA9A]"How we sailed so far from the north to get away from even the early signs of the horrors they should be months behind us if not a couple of years how..."[/color] he trailed off as Tobias spoke up [color=00FFFF]"Evidently the demons don't use conventional travel like the rest of us do"[/color] in an almost sarcastic tone of voice. Tobias turned tapping Katia on her shoulder [color=00FFFF]"come on, grab some gear and we will go take a look"[/color], and with that the both of them went below deck to the crew quarters to get some of their gear & weapons so they could investigate what was going on in this foreign town.
