The arrows flash and pepper the roof tops as the trio of thieves try to escape with some of the loot.  The Gem of Shampur was a prize too tempting to pass up.  Getting in was easy, getting the jewel, which is set in a pendant, even easier.  Getting out...  Not so much.<br/><br/>It's a star sapphire the size of a human heart, but rounder and it's currently in the hands of the female thief in the lead.  Desperation propels her across, although her naturally long legs catch the beams that run across the top of the buildings of Aghrapur, the capital of Turan.  Beside her, is the amazonian Sorceress of Khitai, her longer limbs finding purchase with a bunch of scrolls in hand, while behing them, despite being able to pass them, is the tall Cimmerian with a no longer quite bulging bag of loot.  The arrow managed to dig a big hole in the container and so he's been dripping a trail as the Merchant Prince's guardsmen chase them, although the armour buffoons are slowly being left behind by the group.<br/><br/>However, soon the way to escape is visible, the port!
