Scream of the Mandrake
Solana found herself running through the streets of the grand metropolis. The thunder of footfalls were close behind her. She turned down a dark alleyway, hopefully to get out of the view of the mercenaries chasing her. It was to her error that she found herself facing a dead end. The footfalls slowed, and she turned to find a band of armed thugs blocking the path.
"Well young lady, time to get you back to the master. Don't want a precious piece of merchandise getting away" a mercenary with a golden tooth said.
The thugs slowly made their way closer to Solana, she was backed into a corner. No civilians were close though, which was good for her but not so great for these thugs.
Not like she cared about slavers anyway.
She let loose a horrible shriek that echoed through the alleyway. The thugs put their hands to their ears, dropping their swords. It was not going to be enough as the shriek reverberated through their bodies and they all collapsed to the ground. Solana took off as the last mercenary dropped to the ground. She was very thankful for the years of farming Mandrake Roots for such inspiration.
