Tar supposed that any item enchanted to speak would do with all the might of persuasion they could manage.
Which is to say, he found that a very convenient promise coming from a sword. He nearly laughed.
A short huff of air blowing out his nose in approximation.
"Luckily for you I doubt I will...
The night air was thick with fog, dampening the light of the few remaining fires lit in lamp posts along the streets. Even for the keen eyes of a Dark Elf it was hard to see much beyond ones arm. In spite of the obscured night, or perhaps because of it, these types of night made her patrol feel...
Tar paused a step at the bold suggestion laid forth by the blade.
Such a notion hadn't occurred to them. Contrary to the charges which led to their initial imprisonment, it had not been in their nature to bite the hand that feeds. Even after the stroke of luck of being freed, it was the only...
Tar's brow furrowed. A conflicted feeling rising up at the notion. They had considered themself alone. Truly so. Out of fear of dragging anyone into this prolonged cat and mouse of constantly being hunted. They had hardly spoken to anyone let alone considered laying their circumstances out to...
Tar faltered a moment, glancing about this way and that. Yet no matter where they looked they found no source for it. All of the sailors were rushing about the ship readying to dock.
Had their mind in lack of a physical enemy these long days of the voyage turned on itself? Or perhaps throwing...
They would be nearing the port soon. Tar could hear the thumping and shuffling of feet and cargo on the deck above. To buy himself passage aboard the long journey they had been working at each dock or port the ship had stopped at on its convoluted path to the far flung shores of Malakath.
They...
Feyrith merely nodded and offered an uncertain gratitude.
"Understood. Thank you for your consideration lord Iskandar."
She felt an unease settle in at taking advantage of that hospitality. Not out of guilt but out of a sense of foreboding.
Feyrith watched him stroll off as casually as though...
Tar paused in his step and felt briefly more lost than before.
Alliria? Had he heard of that before? East....no that didn't seem right. His lips tightened into a frown as puzzled out his next steps. At the very least he knew he would need to get some distance. To keep moving was best.
He had...
Feyrith's eyes rested momentarily on the tree. She found that the more exotic the the fauna was to surface dwellers the closer it felt to home. The UnderDark had flora and fauna completely unlike most of the surface of Arethil. The swampier parts had some plants, though given some of the...
The feeling of sinking a sword deep into a man's back was not new for Tar. Yet there was a freshness to the strange power of this sword. Somehow exacting far more damage than any ordinary sword would.
Some might have questioned what evils created such an item, others might have felt a thrill...
A contract to Eradicate the Cultists was on the surface not an unpleasant prospect. Seeking and Killing were among the few skills she excelled at. Yet it set a small frown to her features all the same. Undoubtedly the citizens of Alliria would be safer with these cultists culled. The display in...
The Lord Commander lounged with the confidence and assurance of someone who truly believed they were making a small request.
Feyrith's brow knit in a troubled expression. She had avoided being put to the mines most of her life by being very good at killing when told to do so. It didn't really...
The damage was much more than Tar had anticipated. Sure he had swung plenty of swords in his life but none so easily or with such force. Each time he lifted it, it was as if the sword itself were following through, let alone the arcane magic spilling off of it.
He was momentarily stunned by the...
A hint of surprise colored Feyrith's face.
His features had been so neutral as she confessed her story that she hadn't been sure what he made of it.
To hear him declare so adamantly that she would offered protection was an unexpected relief. Though perhaps she needn't have been. He was the...
The water was suddenly alight with mystic green flame. It took all of Tar's focus not to let this development scatter his focus.
A voice cut the fog of his confusion and the need for air. It was right, he should settle this. Even if other's came it would buy him time and solace from constant...
