The ship approach's the doc's the drunken captain stumbles into the sleeping quarters he proceeds to tell us to get are shit and leave i get up and walk out into the city at first glace it is a amazingly beautiful city after a bit more inspecting i soon see a grand city may not mean a grand population there's a man standing on a pedestal he seems like a con none the less i decide to listen to what the man had to say   "this item is a true steal a lucky pocket watch grant any playing man a great advantage  when there luck is down starting at only 50 gp"  a bid begins i think to myself "how can this guy just scam these folks its obviously  a scam" a man wins the man begins to walk away as he walks beside me he accidentally bump's into me  knocking his flask out of hes pocket i picked it up and examined it  there is a  engraving that reads "Heaven is only a wining hand away"  i follow the man into what seems to be a empty soup kitchen he pulls back a false panel and walk in i follow behind him "uhh sir" he does not seem to hear me i follow him till he reach's a table a crowd sits around the table holding cards and coin the man its at the table then i say "sir you dropped this" the man looks at me with a confused face for a moment then thanks me "thanks but did you follow me all the way here?" i sit at the table and nod "deal me a hand" i say the dealer deals me in next thing i know its been hours the man next me sets down his cards "im broke" the man with the flask says "aren't we all" soon i decide its time to go "welp i best be off while im ahead" a loud noise echos thought out  the town you can hear screaming for miles a burning smell as well as the sound of musket fire echos for miles me and the other poker players soon run out to investigate there's a massacre the towns on fire there are some sort of knights everywhere setting the town a blaze murdering stealing  "wheres the town guard?" i ask the poker dealer responds "they most likely have cut town by this time the guards never cared for this place i couldn't see why anyone would this is a city of rats fools and more rats" the fire burns in the dark night the screams and gunshot echo louder then ever before the burning smell is too much to take the taste of ash in the air a knight approaches me with his blade drawn and a smile on his face i quickly grab my small dagger from its holster the man chuckles as i stab him in the gut i watch as he bleeds out on the ground  i watch a little girl running into a burning house to get her doll then a knight grabs it out of her hand and throws it into the fire she begins bursting into tears then the man kicks her into the fire i run towards her but its too late i hear her scream and see her being burned alive i run to the man who did this he looks at me with a haunting grin his eyes have a strange dark glow to them pure red like blood i back up slowly he looks at me and lifts his blade with some strange runes on it its a broad sword with a dark aura to it it almost seems like i am facing satin himself  i look at the rune its now glowing a dark golden color  at that moment i understand the rune it reads "a gift for my little helper from cyric prince of lies" i knew that name as well as my own this was a blade made by the infamous mad god i stood at the edge of this blade forged from what may be satin himself wielded by whom might be satin's best knight i say "i see you have met the mad god" the man smile grows and his blood red eyes fill with more of a blood lust every word that comes out of his mouth "know him i doubt someone like you would know the one and only prince of lies he is a big man you know" i grab my dagger and begin walking backwards up stairs "i have heard tales  and it may be possible i met with him once or twice" the mans eyes fill with anger the blood red becomes so dark it is barely even red anymore a strong aura surrounds him "lies  you cannot fool me" i reach into my bag and pull out a blade wrapped in cloth very tightly i pulled the cloth from it the swords runes began to glow a very dark green the runes read "the blade of the mad god" the power of the blast following knocked out this knight and leveled the town everyone in the town that survived had lived except for the knights i re-wrapped the blade frantically the i told everyone "run quick get out of here more will come soon run your life depends on it" the knight began to awaken as i stabbed him in the throat with my dagger i walked away but suddenly found myself flying through the air the knight stands at my feet with his blade.
