"Well you've seen the shadowy side of the city then," Aurra mused. He didn't need to see any more of it, she thought to herself. They were still being followed. She didn't want him to find out that she dealt in the darker corners of the world. There weren't many people who saw her in a...

"Er...no." She tried to glance over her shoulder without looking. Two shadows were still on her tail. Given who she had stolen from, she expected they were nasty individuals. Theh hadn't attacked which meant they wanted to learn something by following her. Nuir was in danger and he didn't...

"Miss Brylee!" She felt fear, raw and cold, crawl up her spine. It was late on the streets of Elbion. The stone soaked up heat in the day and it was warm and humid at night. What were the odds? She thought. She was walking quickly, hood pulled up and he must have seen a lock of her hair and...

"Oh one like that?" Aurra pointed at one of her cards as she lifted the corner. She did it so quickly that Nuir wouldn't have seen it was a four. Most seasoned players wouldn't have fallen for the act. Fortunately Nuir wasn't the only one drunk around the table. Sailors tended to walk in...

"Nuir!" she cried out. Turning, she found him thrown down in the sand. He was hacking away at the knife-ended tail. Aurra had been so pleased to see a friendly face, but even then she had known it could lead to pain. She had seen too many friends die over the years. The creature thrashed. As...

Aurra slipped onto the bench where Nuir had originally indicated. She smiled at him; he had mentioned a gift. It was also amusing to see Nuir tipsy. However, she had something to do first. Aurra set a heavy bag of coin on the table. There for just a moment with its weight before she put a...

"It is good to see you too!" Aurra declared. She could see from his movements that he had been drinking. The rogue glanced down at her mug and took a swig. She supposed she might need to catch up a little, but swilling cheap wine from a wooden mug hurt some part of her. "Why don't I stay on...

Aurra tilted her head sharply to one side. Her neck cracked. "Yeah, let's get it done." The gate fell sharply. The crowd cheered. Then followed murmurs of confusion. Regular visitors: pirates, merchants and criminals were accustomed to the prisoners being shoved out by the ogre guards...

Aurra was quite surprised to hear a familiar voice. She was far less surprised to see that Nuir was on a losing streak. Elbion was a welcoming city but it would still be a bad idea for an elf to kick up trouble at an inn. He was young and sweet and slightly naive. They would take advantage...

"You're sweet," Aurra said. She turned to look at the shorter elf. She offered a sad smile and a shrug. "I'm sorry we might be about to die." Gallows humour was nothing new for Aurra, but she usually felt in more control of her destiny. Aurra took one of the daggers. It had a wicked...

PART 3 It brought her just a little relief to have a familiar face. Logically, she knew that it meant an aquiaintance had been doomed to an early death in this place. She felt that way regardless. Aurra watched as one of the newcomers despatched several ogres. He addressed Nuir, so she decided...

"Nuir!" For a fleeting moment, she smiled. It was nice to see a familiar face, but then came the realisation that someone she liked would be suffering the same fate as her. She glanced through the bars. A new arrival was almost a break in the monotony. She hated herself a little for that...

Nuir Location: Slave cells There was nothing to herald their arrival. No sound or flash of light. A small group appeared in the middle of the corridor in an instant. "Hey!" cried one of the guards. Aurra had been listening to the ogres that guarded the cells. They had been finding all the...

"Alright so we have a healer. I suppose the lack of experience doesn't really matter if you keep us alive." "Then we have a huge man for protection." "Aand then we have a drunk who can speak lots of languages." "I don't suppose anyone knows a remarkably powerful and suicidal mage?" she...

"Yeah I've had..." Aurra was interrupted by the sound of her rapier sliding from the leg of the table to fall against the floor. She bent down and grabbed the blade, setting it on the table in its scabard. "Not making a point. Where are you supposed to put these things when you're sitting...
