It's a well-used bridge, commonly used to transport slaves out of The Crystal City. Also the only way to reach The Crystal City on foot.  |

[Enter CabDriver & Fiona]
The ride wasn't too long, they simply rode alongside the river, maybe a few hundred feet away from it; but always within sight.
When the wagon rolled over and reached the beginning of the bridge; they were stopped by two black-steel armored Shadow Guard. They called out commands at the CabDriver, who gave a shrug in response.
It seemed like the CabDriver was having an argument with the guard. It was hard to hear over the murmuring of the other people in the wagon.

'Alright Nix' she muttered to herself 'if this goes to hell in a hand basket you're just going to grab that horse and run...'
Not the most stable plan, but it's most likely going to be the best bet of not being skewered on the end of a blade.

It seems like the three who first got on had the same idea as Fiona, however they executed it a bit pre-maturely.
The male took out a crossbow from his sack and fired it at one of the Shadow Guard as the two females took out small daggers and made a run for the two horses tied up by the guard tower.
One of the guards got hit in the shoulder by the crossbow and he stumbled onto his butt. The other rammed a spear threw the Cab-Driver's throat and quickly went around to the male.
"Help!!" The guard on the ground called out as the other slashed at the male; missing and accidentally cutting open an innocent female across the face.
Hearing all the commotion, and the call for help, 2 more guards burst from the guard tower. The women tried to fight the guards, but they met an early end, and were put down in a quick fight. The two walked over to assist the small 'fight' between the man and the guard.
The man leaped out the other side of the wagon and made a run for it, now having a deep cut in his arm. One of the new guards chased after him as the other 2 pointed their spears to the wagon.

"Oh for the love of..." Fiona groaned. She hopped out the back with her arms raised in a 'don't kill me I'm friendly' manner. "Come on guys, I thought you weren't going to do this. I just wanted a nice ride to Stoneville and you have to ambush the Greatest Place in the World!" Arms still in the air, she rolls her eyes and looks to the dead Cab Driver. "By the Moon..."

Hearing her last mutter, the guard immediately points his spear to her and shouts: "Traitor! Spy! Get her!"
That got the other guards attention. He circled around the other end of the wagon and pointed his spear at her. None of the other passengers of the wagon got out.
"Remain still, or we'll cover you with holes, woman." The guard in front of her warns.

"Spy? No, no, no! I was just trying to get to Stoneville when these maniacs attacked you." She didn't move an inch, very keen on keeping her current amount of holes. "Let's be civilized...right, mates?" She looks back at the ones still in the wagon.

The guard in front of her backed up. She could feel a sharp sting in her back as the guard behind her jabbed at her.
"Move, spy. I don't know what Lunar plans you have, but you're sure as Tartarus not getting to Stoneville." The guard behind her growls.

She frowns. "I expect that you will be interrogating and/or torturing me until I reveal the plans I don't have. How lovely."

"I said move!" The guard behind her barks, jabbing her in the back with his spear again.
The guard in front directs her towards the Guard Tower.

"Okay, okay." She rubs where he jabbed her and starts walking forward, keeping her hands VERY far away from her swords. "I'd like it if you didn't jab me in the spine, mate." She regretted saying that immediately afterwards. These are (presumably) highly trained soliders. They could turn her into a shishkabab on a moments notice.

"Shutup." The guard growls at her, jabbing her in the shoulder lightly as he starts walking.
The third guard comes back with his hand against his bleeding arm. "I got the runner! Uh -- what do you want me to do with these people?" he asks, pointing to the cart of civilians.
"Interrogate every one of -- unf! Them..." The guard on the ground orders as he pulls out the bolt from his shoulder and stands up.
The guard in front of Fiona leads her to the guard tower with the other one behind her, while the other two take the rest of the people across the bridge.
[Exit Fiona, Guard 1, and Guard 2 to Guard Tower]

[Enter Fendrel]
It was a long, gruelling journey from Stoneville to the Crossing, but luckily the trip wasn't as bad as it could have been with his horse. Gazing up at the massive bridge, he merely strokes the mares mane.
"We made it girl. Not to much further from here..." He reassures his horse, as well as himself.

The tired horse suddenly lifted its head and backed away. It smelled blood in the air and wanted absolutely nothing to do with The Crossing. Up ahead Fendrel would see a fresh corpse: a male with leg wound, chest wound, and neck wound. All seemed to be caused from a spear.
Along the bridge itself, Fendrel would see a set of guards escorting a cart full of civilians to the other end.

The young man's eyes widen at the horrid sight. He immedeately tries to calm down his horse, brushing the side of her neck with his hand.
"It's alright girl... Calm down..." He tries to comfort her in a soothing voice. Slowly getting off of his horse, Fendrel cautiously approaches the bridge, minding his step.
