Emerging from the ally, Tegan patted Plum on the back and gave him a wink and smile. Plum took notice to his comrade's new attire, back handing Knotch in the gut and gesturing towards Tegan as he laid the rolled rug on the back of their cart.
"A good day to you sir." Knotch said to Tegan, while tipping his hat.
"Better than most of late. You group new in the city? I don't believe I've had the pleasure of seeing you here before." The cannibal commander played the role all to well. Just the way he held himself, exuded that of an officer.
Plum's hands waved over their wears implicating they were merchants, "We're but humble travelers, and merchants. When we heard of the state in which the city of Nippur was in, we rushed here to assist in any way possible."
"Their prices are extremely fair. I couldn't afford most of these items anywhere else in the city!" A man interjected. Holding up an item from their selection. The three men smiled in sync.
"Well I hope this rug will be a fine donation to your cause..." The imposter guard said while patting it with the palm of his hand, "You should clean it out before selling it though, it is quite old and smells as if something had once passed on it." He said with a sly wink.
"Oh, of course sir. Thank you." Knotch removed his hat and held it to his chest in great gratitude, and shook the pho guard's hand.
Just then, a large caravan made its way through the gates. It bore a symbol of a Golden Cross. This symbol was clearly well known by the people of Nippur, because the moment it came to a halt it was rushed by every homeless beggar and swine that occupied the mouth of the city.
"Now what do we have here..." Tegan watched as figure emerged from one of the carriages, it wore a cloak and from what the cannibal could deduce from his distance was three glowing blue eyes. Then a second man stood in the door of the wagon, looking over the masses. Knotch, realizing the three eyed cloaked one had to of been the one he was watching in the Dunes the day prior. He knew he'd have to wait to tell Tegan.
The man that had spoken so graciously about the merchant cannibals' prices and wears spoke up again, "Well... that's the Golden Cross sir... the relief effort. They're quite well known around here." The man said in a confused tone.
Tegan flashed a glare of anger at the man, then quickly place his hand over his eyes rolling his head back , "Of course it is... I wasn't referring to the caravan. Rather the two that seem to be tagging along..." Trying to hide his irritation, as gently as he could.
"Oh... right. Apologies sir." The man turned his attention to the horde of people converging on the caravan.
The three eyed being revealed a shield and slammed a metallic hand against it, making a loud bang to echo through the walled city. After the majority of the people's attention was grabbed the metal man spoke. His synthetic voice gave way to the fact that he was in fact mechanical, a robot of sorts. He said his name was Kopaka, and that he hunted the Prime Mickey Mouse.
Tegan immediately locked eyes with his two close companions. Another Legendary Prime was here in the city of Nippur! They all read what was on the others' minds. If they could get the Mouse... they would gain the powers of two god like Primes... This, Kopaka, went on about how he would bring justice to the people of Nippur. The cannibals watched as many of the faces in the crowd began shifting in approval and appreciation.
The crowd was silent then Plum, in a high-pitched tone yelled out, "What do we Get!?" and the crowd began to stir and murmur to themselves again.
The machine seemed irked by the retort, and then countered with something that got Tegan's, Plum's and Knotch's hearts pounding. This, Kopaka, was a Prime too. If they brought back three Primes to the Baron... they'd be tribe leaders themselves.
Tegan hit Plum in the chest and pointed at the Golden Cross's Caravan, "Your group is a lot like theirs... maybe you should offer your services to assist them."
"That's a great idea." Said the man who had interjected earlier.
They started to make their way over when suddenly a series of spikes shot forth from the ground, creating a wall of what looked like sharp ice. The crowd of beggars were in shock.
Tegan held up a hand to stay the group, "Maybe we should wait for the situation to... cool down a bit." He turned and shared a quick laugh with his comrades.
"A good day to you sir." Knotch said to Tegan, while tipping his hat.
