Outskirts of Khasalit, A wrecked Typhoon a2 Airship.
These one was used frekvently by merchant. It has a 7 storage room and 3 warehouse. With 3 floor in sum. This ship has a lot of place where merchants can store their goods.
The place were are group is staying now, has a lot of this Typhoon airship, usually a2 type, but it wasn't that rare to find other type of ship. Those are just uncommon in the area.
With the storage ships, the important question is always was "Which cargo was in the ship"
For financial purpose, the best was a mineral or currency cargo. Those are carring precious metals which itself could worth a decent amount of Radevkrit or even a few Zalakrit. They are could be Radevkrit or Zalakrit itself.
Our group wasn't that lucky. The ship was almost looted. Just some leftover broken crates of even more broken vases. There was some iron/steel like crate. But those are locked with some hundred plus years old mechanism. No one seen what in those crates, yet.
Warehouse 2, floor one.
There is a Halabak waiting at so called "official" entrance of the ship. Or what it remained of if. The loading area was already gone. Hopefully it was on a landing point, which are sticking out from the ruined scyscrapper. Landing area was supported by iron collums, but there mostly iron dioxide by now. So not the safest support.
The Halabak who is looked like he is waiting someone. Short brown hair, glorious sapphire blue eyes. The usual work clothes of the group, white shirt with brown bib worktrouser. One reins on the pants is hanging down near his heap. The other on his shoulder. On his head there are fake bunny ears. Nadilik made that for him.
He was Gallahed Klassiwnev, the only Halabaks at the group. He don't have special ability, which could save his life or any. All the group people have their own ability. Reweka has his night vision, Hajiki her inhuman strengt, Nadilik her greatly efficient hearing.
Gallahed had not any of this sort of ability.
Besides all these things, he was the group treasure. Nadilik most precious person for her.
"Where is Hajiki? Nadilik said she will come here. "
Gallahed holding his flashlight, shooting the ray of light to the entrance side whish are closer to the ship.
He tried to contact her with the tele-communicant, but nothing for success. There was only static noise.
"Is it broken?".
It could be, these tele-communicant was like everything at that area was hundred or more years old. It used an ancient mechanism to transfer the sounds.
"Huh, there is something there. What is that?"
He lean toward to see what that thing is.
"I can see that silhuette of that thing"
"Hey, Gallahed I'm not a 'thing'. "
Answered a wolf like creature. She had a snout, wolf ears, sharp tooth. Her eyes has a really good shades of yellow. She was a well-developed girl who mostly looked like a wolf, except her scorpion tail. Her look are breathtaking.
"Gallahed, why are you here?"
"Nadilik sayed that i go here and wait for you"
"Ohhhh. Nadilik atleast you could have told me that you're expectin that i will be the one who save your fiancee."
"Wait... Hajiki, so you didn't intend to save me, if i am in trouble"
"Of course i will save you. If i'm not, then Nadilik would kill me for sure"
"Ohh... thanks"
"Now Gallahed we have to reach the groundfloor"
At that minute the whole building started to shake and shiver. Gallahed lost his footing, fall to his butt
"Uughh"
Fortunately Hajiki didn't lose her footing. It wasn't easy for her to stay on her feet, but it all resolved. Hajiki gave a helping hand to Gallahed.
"Here Gallahed, stand up."
"Thanks again."
"Nothing much."
They regained their footing once again.
*bang* *Clank*
There is a sudden noise. Like two metals collusion. It was fast.
"What the hell was that. I really hope this ancient building didn't decaded that this is the time fall on its own legs."
Hajiki's thougth escaped because of the sudden noise.
Based on the sounds what this building give. Hajiki's hope was lost, because this mostly framework, which i called numerous time a building. This neglected Skycrapper is already decided to rumble on itself. Not the entire part of it, yet. Now it is just the top.
*Rumbling noise*
Unfortunatelly Gallahed and Hajiki was in the 'top part' which already started to slide down.
*Metal screech*
Bolts and srews are falling from the upper layers of the building.
"Gallahed, this whole platform started to move. Quick to the down layers."
"Hajiki there is a stair, we could go down there"
"Look Gallahed there is a huge hole in the way. We can't use the stairs, but i can lend you down to the lower layers, down there."
She took a rope from her equipments. The group members have their low tier equipments arount their waist in a bag.
"Now, this will do the job. "
Hajiki goes toward the hole which slighly shrinking by the moving part of this multi stories ruined building.
She dropped down one end of the rope, the other end is what she is grabbed with iron force.
Making a stable pose for a human powered elevator.
"Now, Gallahed get to the ropes and climb down the bottom of the hole. There isn't so much time so go. NOW."
Gallahed start run to the rope, while waste made of iron is raining from the ceiling. At the midway one bigger piece of support beam falled to the floor. If it would take a few more second, it would splash Gallahed to an unpleasent pancake. For his fortune the support beam rampage cm away from him. Then the beam just took it leave to the lower layers. It goes, like it came.
It was a more shocking experince for Gallahed to saved by cm. The support beam wasn't shocked, just sad from their sudden sepparation.
Gallahed just stayed there, until a loud yell snapped him back to the reality.
"Gallahed, don't stop now. Run.
Don't make me go there and do it in my own accord."
Gallahed runned to the ropes, took one carabiner from his waist bag.
*click*
The sound of the rope friction to the carabiner.
"There he goes"
Hajiki's thought
"Are you down there?"
"Yep, I am around of floor 48."
"That IS a distance. We started at floor 60."
Hajiki goes to one collum, one what is in fine condition or atleast it will be good for few seconds.
Tied the rope, took a carabiner. Attached it to the rope
*click*
Then started to run all the way to the hole. When she reach the perimeter of the evershrinking hole. Which was half of its original size.
The second time when the building listening to the ropes friction to the carabiner.
*cutting sound*
The ropes was no more useable for climbing, something cut that. With the whole layer of building in the same line as the rope
"What the HELL.....Uggghh"
*puff*
Hajiki falled three layers. She would have survived without problems. Only a broken leg at worse.
But there isn't any broken bone. Just a sound of a 'puff'.
"Huh?"
She is looking around. What could happened.
She found out, that this situation could be more dangerous than the whole moving building and falling 60 stories high.
She found herself on top of Gallahed.
"Oh no"
She quickly climb down from Gallahed. They stand up.
"Gallahed you okay? I didn't know that a rope will break. Really sorry. Please let this incident stay here, unknowingly. Nadilik will be really angry, if she found out what happend.
It was suprising how much she feared Nadilik's anger than a fall to death.
"Don't worry Hajiki"
Gallahed say with a precious smile.
"Thanks Gallahed, we still need to reach floor 0."
