Szesh's flame had harmed, or at least stunned, the beast long enough to allow a killing blow. As his eyes adjusted back to their unnatural dark-sight, he accepted the drow queen's curt acknowledgement, though felt a small pang at admonishment about noise. As if they had been given a choice...

Szesh was able to rise thanks to the dark elves’ furious assault on the worm. He shook off the axe, and it flickered, dropping a small dusting of bloodied snow on the ground before appearing as clean and sharp as when it was first drawn. Szesh had been taught how to use its unique enchantments...

Szesh was not a good conversational partner. Decades of shameful exile and a fearsome appearance had made the opportunity for practice rare. His mouth was ill-suited to the more common languages of Arethil, though he had improved greatly in recent years. His black-on-black eyes regarded Dante...

Szesh was particularly out of place here. Standing head and shoulders above the tallest men, heavily muscled, and wrapped in silver scales, the presence of wings and a tail might not even be the most striking thing about him. A face like a miniaturized version of a true dragon observed...

Szesh pushed himself to his elbows, then rose from the ice with not a small amount of pain. His wounds oozed slowly but most of the bleeding had or would stop soon. Mostly he had a horrific headache, and felt as though he might not be warm again no matter how close he stood to a fire. His dark...

((Excuse the quick out of order but just so we're clear)) Szesh obliged Vyx'aria's request. Something in him recognized the scales of that hilt, but he could not consciously remember how or where, nor did he have the energy to try. With a painful inhale, and a forceful exhale, he washed the...

Szesh saw only flickers of the battleground ahead of him. Vyx'aria moved so quickly that she was just a glint of shadow in an otherwise glittering deathscape. When her blade connected, Szesh could feel the wrath in the Queen's shriek. He could also feel a slight but obvious relief as the icy...

Szesh heard the crystals fracture, and knew what had happened before he turned his massive head in a mixture of incredulity and anger. The crystals they had explicitly been sent in here to gather, the reason they were in this peril at all, had been destroyed. The questions and accusations Szesh...

The floor retreated, and they fell. Szesh’s wings instinctively opened, but without being properly oriented, they were little more than crude parachutes. With the drown queen’s added weight, they would do even less. Speaking of that, it was startling to say the least to have someone attach...

Yes. Not to put too fine a point on it, but that was exactly what Szesh was doing. Not entirely without reason, mind you. In his life, long by some standards, short by others, he had seen many a cocky fool undone by grasping powers they did not understand. The magic his hammer once held he...

And then she was gone, melding into shadows where none were cast. Szesh blinked. He could somewhat make out Vyx'aria's silhouette, but once she moved he lost it. Like tracking a fly across a busy room, it would be nearly impossible to lock on to her position so long as she moved. The...

The wind affected the construct, but only briefly and it seemed to do little more than anger the knightly apparition. Its howl was painful to the ears, though Szesh didn’t need the noise to tell him to move immediately. He dove to the side rolling heavily, though with more grace that one might...

Szesh felt his upper lip twitch and an involuntary rumble low in his throat at the drow’s words. They were at once insulting and… strange. Was she not here for the crystals the wizard had sent them for? Did she perhaps think the riches beneath the icy throne were more worth her time? Another...

Szesh did not trust wizards, nor magic of any kind. It was cheating, as far as he was concerned, ignoring the rules that others had to follow, and making mockery of traditional strength and cunning. Neither did he trust anyone who promised riches for the mere price of service. This put...

Szesh will grumble his way into this.
