Hand of the Master - Conclusion
With Elabac’s safe return and the true threat revealed, the dwarves of Solanos Mor returned to their normal lives. They were on a ship bound for Freeport at the behest of Brother Egil.
“Congratulations,” said Vlad to Beldin. “I heard you were made Elabac’s apprentice.”
Beldin nodded. “It is not the way I would have preferred to gain the position,” he said. “But it is an honor nonetheless.”
“We should be congratulating you,” Sebastian said to Vlad. “Scouting parties reported that the Reavers abandoned the camp with the death of their commander.”
Vlad shrugged. “I had no idea that crazy elf I killed back in Freeport was the commander’s lover. What she saw in that dwarf, I have no idea.”
“That wouldn’t be the first time an elf took a liking to someone unlikable,” said Kham with a smirk.
“Perhaps we all owe our gratitude to you, Kham,” said Beldin. “Jarel has been quite a boon.”
Sebastian nodded in agreement. “He revealed all he knows of the Reavers. Many dwarves are still angry at the Reavers for twice attempting to kill Elabac, but nothing can be done until they are found again.”
“Jarel finally seems to have found peace,” said Beldin. “And what about you, Kham? Did you find what you came to Solanos Mor for?”
Kham took a deep breath. “I wouldn’t call it peace, exactly.”
“What did you find then?” asked Bijoux.
“War,” said Kham, patting the hilt of Fleshripper. “I found war.”
