[QUOTE="Andrew D. Gable, post: 1474952, member: 4144"] "Aye, that it is," answers Gyrrho. "What I ask is a simple thing, a trifle to a reaver such as yourself. But first a story of myself, and why I seek revenge. I am chief of the Vasalan [i]khallufti[/i], the raiders who ride the deserts of Koth, our blades shining. 'Twas a half year ago we razed the city of Scilda in southern Ophir. Three months ago, while on another of our raids, our tribe was assailed by the soldiers of Vendishan. They slaughtered a full fifty of our men, more than three-quarters our number. Blood soaked the grounds, aye, and then heaven herself wept for the fallen of Vasala. Those few of us who remained fled for our very lives through the new-made rivers of gore. "For these three months have I been wandering, looking in every tavern and drinking-house in every thieves' district from Khorshemish to Tarantia looking for men who would do the deed I ask. I wish death, sirs! Count Drusus of Vendishan must be killed for his deeds--" Just then there is a commotion from the front of the tavern. Three tough-looking men - evidently simple thugs - point towards Gyrrho. "There you are, you dog of a [i]khallufti[/i]!" the leader of the mob shouts. One member of his gang fingers the hilt of a knife displayed openly at his waist, in the custom of thieves' districts. As Gyrrho turns to face the speaker, this rogue swiftly withdraws a handful of small daggers from his sleeves. He hurls one of these, and it flies end-over-end past Gyrrho's head. Thorkin and Santoro narrowly dodge the thrown dagger, and it likewise narrowly misses the head of a Bossonian sitting at the table behind. [This is you, Ferretguy] [/QUOTE]
