Beyond the tops of the city sky line there was a vast metal dome that sat in the background of all view from the ship. It was this encapsulating form that held the Breach itself at bay from touching the rest of the city at hand. Its orb like outer shell gleaming in the light of the now dying sun as it fell beyond the foreign mountain ranges to the east. But every so often a great door would open from the top of the dome and then it would be time for ships of all makes and sizes to bring themselves through. It was not long before the view ended as the ship made its way lower towards its landing point, situated on a lower tier of the city itself.
The gangplank lowered itself and that allowed for the bustling sound of work and machinery to come through into the cabin of the ship. As the group exited onto the platform they could see that far above was the city itself and that now they sat on the lowest portion of the city that one could walk freely.
Several men in uniforms were waiting at the other end of the platform, their bodies covered in leather and padding. With spun copper plates that glittered in the dancing flames that lite the platforms sides. One of them nodded to the group as they disembarked from the ship and waved over to his captain. Though each mans face was covered their eyes were easily visible from the metal of the helmets they wore.
"Come to boys.." A voice resounded as the small group split and there stood a man with helmet in hand.
"Its good to see our guest arrived safely." The man was of age for service with lite blonde hair and deep blue eyes. Barely a mark on his face for a healed scar under his left eye. The crest on his helmet was a sign of his command over the group and he approached the new arrivals. "Well.. Now that your all here we can begin." He waved a motion to another of his men and he pulled a lever, this caused the platform to split in half as it lowered into the earth.
"I must admit that I am surprised to see such an interest group in such a place.." He cuts away for a moment as the small talk was well and past in his mind.
"I am captain Montague, my troop and I will accompany you as per the Counts orders."
"As you know there is trouble brewing down in the tunnels.. from what the miners tell us there was a cave in at one of their largest digs and the passage was blocked. We have men trying to clear the way now so the route should be clear when we arrive. Any questions before we make it down there..?" The men behind him were sharpening their swords and spears, some had shields and even a few had firearms the likes of which only the guilds could produce. The twelve of them were a sizable force but it was easy to see that some of them were green to their own duties.
Antony placed his pipe in his sash and only looked back at the group with a slight shrug in his shoulders. "I've got to say its been a while since I've been spelunking.. can we expect any trouble?" He asked as he looked back at the captain. The man laughed and responded "Not really no, all we know of in the tunnels are mire rats and the Krawl.."
