Gahesznem had left with Xzaasen's assembly of finest warriors in form and poise. Even though the troop was well trusted, the handmaiden of the most esteemed and shining pharaoh had to make sure that everything went as ordered. This was a crucial moment, and even if quite delicate of a situation...

The handmaiden rose her head before delicately placing the mural shard on a nearby table, as exquisite as the interior of this royal tent. She was not entirely sure if this mural was part of the same as the one of which the Shard of Imhotat came, given they were found so far apart. Khotseti in...

Snaping her fingers, the retinue that previously lingered in the outskirts of the event walked in view to receive orders. Waterfowl for humans, salt for humans. Gahesznem nodded. As they left outside on command, one of the brown gnolls uttered, "head back and retain the child, we'll need him to...

Gahesznem's main preoccupation was strengthening relations between the two nations. The villages under their heed who came willingly by the unification of law as blessed by Imhotat, were equal measures distrustful of gnoll-kin and equal measure antagonised by other men. As well as bandits when...

The last of the blossoms dispersed in the water like a microcosm of stars. Gahesznem peered through the royal tent. Truly it was a small place over what would be appropriate for her most esteemed ruler, even with the full cohort of servants and priestesses it became crowded quickly. Her face...

The many ancestors of Hesheb quietly flowed through the wetland. The reeds, which surrounded the permanent encampment, in this season, were so tall only the Anaphite could gaze beyond them. And even then, many were cut down for later use. Crafters were ready to make sandals, baskets and housing...

Gahesznem rested reclined over a primitive yet intricate lean-to. She was silent a bit as she listened before shaking her head. »You speak wise words, Cassidy, under any other setting I would have agreed in a heartbeat. But in this ordeal, the first one to drop their spear will suffer, for the...

Gaheznem eyed Cassidy. Where the remaining three had left was clear as day. »I have now faith in my soldiers that they know what they are doing out there,« occasionally she winced in pain. But gnolls could survive worse, like getting half their face town off with little to no medical attention...

The large gnoll scratched his chin and averted his gaze, and just for a moment, he looked like a worried gorilla. His strong, bone-crushing teeth briefly flashed before he finally recollected himself. By this time, one of the lesser gnolls helped Gahesznem up and helped her return to the...

»But, our humble subjects need us! Basaph cries for them!« Gahesznem uttered in frustration. »These brigands are kidnappers, slavers, traffickers!« It was usually not apt for a male gnoll to disrupt one of a higher station, even less so a female. But this moment felt right to bend rules here...

There wasn't much life left in the captain and his fall has not gone unnoticed. Whatever was left of the brigand band began to scatter, clearly a situation too tough to deal and the loss may have been just too much for them. It was not worth it even if they won. IF they won. A greater spotted...

Cassidy Ackerson The captain did not dodge in time, and just then at that time, he lost balance which may have been to hard to regain. What a stutter in poise, the light in his eyes waned as bravery diminished into something else. The world around him blurred down, with only Cassidy and his red...

The capatain met his blade with Cassidy Ackerson , he was no exceptional swordsman, but if his brigand were to advance, the situation might be lost. Past the pair ran one of the gnoll guards, launching himself into the fray of battle. Man often misunderstood with what kind of ferocity gnolls...

One of the greater spotted brutes launched himself at the axeman brute who stumbled after Cassidy's evasion, wrestling him to the ground and clamping down at his neck with teeth bared wide. Not even a moment passed when his throat was torn out with the force of an angered gnoll brute! The...

The bandit leader began to prep his bow, yet so vulnerable he was not. As Cassidy made his draw across with his streaked blade, an axe wielder brushed himself through and past him, hacking the blade aside. The burly axe wielder only made a gruff snort before thrashing at Cassidy with another...
