Shaa can tell that the viper is getting closer to him as he quickly limped over to Ol Bessie. Ol Bessie was the name of a large ballista that the fighters guild kept on the top of the wall in case of a siege attack. In Shaa’s case, he liked using her for target practice. He even claimed to have hit an apple off of the head of a dummy in the training ground but no one was around when it happened. Unfortunately for Shaa, it was no apple that was crashing up the stairs.
Now it was a race against time as Shaa turned the giant weapon to face the doors. There were blocks in place to actually prevent people from doing just what Shaa was planning. After all, why in the world want to shoot the ballista into the building? Shaa hurriedly limped around, pulling and tossing the restraints as he went. He tried his best to hurry as the sound grew louder. Faster and faster the sounds from the stairs came. Slippery Pete was almost at the landing.
Hisssss! Aaarrrggghhhh!
Through the door comes Zarius. What are you doing!? I could have shot you in the face. Quick help me with these blocks! The two worked even faster as the ballista started to list.
The furious spire viper burst through the door just as Shaa and Zarius managed to finish angling it. Apparently the beast had never seen a ballista before as it charged right on to the walkway. As it was now outside again, it started to wiggle and expand. But too little too late for slippery Pete. Shaa grabbed the trigger and yanked, releasing the catch on the weapon. The bolt launched with a jolt, skewering the spire viper through the head and pinning it to the tower wall. As Shaa and Zarius had ripped out several of the supports that kept it in place, as the bolt fired, Bessie itself wrenched from the wall and fell to the ground. As it fell, Shaa silently mouthed THANK YOU.
The vipers body shivered as it hung helplessly skewered to the now crumbly tower. Shaa checked it’s eyes and knew the shaking was the all to familiar involuntary trembles of a body leaving the world. After a couple moments, it slowed down and stopped entirely. It was over. Shaa leaned against a rock, hoping that his companions had taken out the stupid mages. You delt with those guys right? He asked Zarius. Shaa wrapped his ankle in a bandage from his small medical kit and made his way to the crumbling stairs.
