    The knock sprawled him out on the floor, a knot would undoubtedly form where he'd been hit. When his eyes groggily blinked back open, he really hadn't been out for very long, though. Nugai had always been known for his incredibly thick skull, or so some of his companions had noted. The...

    "Won't 'ear no complaining on my account, Caps. Not if it puts a few dents in their prim and posh purses." Captain Khulan offered a toast, and he gave him a nod as he responded, "Aye, I'll drink to that." He finished the drink almost in full, as offered his two superiors a sharp salute and...

    Nugai visibly rolled his eyes as Agatha pulled out her sword. He started to speak up, but the other person spoke first, "Two on one hardly seems fair." His annoyance at Agatha turned to incredulity towards the other woman. He pulled out his own sword as he rounded on her, "Maybe we should get...

    "I swear to every go--" He gritted his teeth and half raised the arakh. It was probably for the best that Agatha interrupted him with a sensible remark that didn't involve him threatening to gut the wench like a fish. Local authorities were always the kind to make a mountain out of a...

    "Don't know the price on a blood feud, but should buy enough booze for us to forget about all this in the 'morn." He wasn't one to interfere in a brave soldier's personal honor battle, but it looked like the woman's second bastard was gearing up to give his bosses' honor a helping hand. Even...

    "It's hard to imagine finding smaller brains," Nugai muttered back, hopefully loud enough for the idiots to hear him. The grunts had backed off for the moment, most of them nursing wounds that would take at least a few days to heal. Any sane group of collective idiots would've taken it as a...

    The bludgeoner's rush was auspicious, to say the least. Nugai would give him the benefit of the doubt and say he was drunk, but he was probably just a hasty person. It didn't even take a great amount of speed for the Blackshield to duck out of the way. The man's own moment brought him into the...

    "A pity, really. A few more and it might be a fair fight." Nugai had also noticed the tail almost at the same instant that Agatha had spoke up. The Captain held a knife in her hand, but Nugai had left his valuables at the camp. There had a been a few times that he'd trusted his instincts a...

    The one to the left ran his hand though his hair whenever he thought that he had a winning hand. He hadn't touched those almond locks in over three games. People always thought that it was luck, in the beginning. They'd watch him play a couple games, and think that they had him figured out. It...

    Private Tales One Steppe At A Time

    Sweat trickled from his brow as he raised a hand to wipe the sweat from his eyes. He took a hard look at the distant plume of dust that represented their eventual greeting party. Not a party that he'd normally want to meet, but hopes were piss in the wind. "Aye, I was born in the Steppes. If...

    "Beer's a small price to pay for quick reports, Captain." He gave Cato a sly grin as he waited for Captain Khulan's response. There was some amount of risk inherent to any of these scenarios, but it would probably come down to who had the better soldiers. No doubt, these bandits were just...

    He pulled his hat a bit lower over his face. If he couldn't see the sun, it was easier to pretend like it wasn't baking him alive. They were in a situation where if their scouts did everything right, no one would ever give him any credit, but if they fucked up they were all dead. So, as much...

    "Time to go." Nugai tossed the piece of grass he'd been chewing on to the ground before he clicked his heels into Bato's flanks. He'd gotten all that he needed to know from this little scouting mission. It would be a long trek back to the camp, and he wanted to arrive before the Captain could...
