[QUOTE="talien, post: 3650682, member: 3285"] [b]Grains of Sand - Part 5e: Castle in the Sand[/b] Vlad threw the tiger off of him and incapacitated it with one fast stab to the abdomen. The beast wailed until Vlad put it out of its misery. Beldin hurled an axe down the hallway towards a fleeing man. Judging from the dwarf’s satisfied expression and the subsequent yelp, Kham guessed he hadn’t gotten far. Kham clucked his tongue as his opponent screeched in horror at whatever it was he just witnessed. Kham didn’t know what happened, but guessed it had something to do with Quintus. Which wasn’t that surprising, as Quintus tended to have that effect on people. Kham lined up the shot. It was too easy. BLAM! BLAM! And just like that, it was over. “Well, that’s a first.” Kham began picking up one of his emptied pistols. “I unloaded all five of the ladies at one target. He was a tough one.” “I think I heard someone crying for help down the hallway,” said Beldin. “I’m going to go check it out.” “I’ll go with him,” said Ilmarė. She nocked another arrow and followed after the dwarf. Vlad kicked over one of the twin’s corpses. “They’re well-equipped for mercenaries.” “Too well-equipped.” Kham took a copper ring carved in the shape of two clasped hands off of the man’s body. The clasped hands held the symbol of a black cat. “I think we just killed some legionnaires, Quintus.” Quintus didn’t respond. “Quintus? The elf’s silence wore off.” Quintus was on his knees, staring at the corpse of the woman he had slain. Kham walked over to Quintus. “What’s wrong?” “They’re not legionnaires,” said Quintus. “Legionnaires can’t marry.” “What’s your point?” Quintus gingerly held the dead woman’s hand in his, almost as if he were proposing. On her second finger of her left hand was a similar copper ring, carved in the shape of two clasped hands holding the symbol of a black cat. “This is a wedding ring,” said Quintus. He slowly turned to look at the dead man, his spiked armor still smoking from Kham’s shots. “I just killed that man’s wife.” [/QUOTE]
