[QUOTE="CanadienneBacon, post: 6729671, member: 11146"] Lizt stood up wearily from the wall. She dusted herself off, wincing at the blood on her tunic. Then she shrugged. Wiping off the flat of her bloodied short sword on the dead Jarl, Lizt grinned at Homer. "We did it. And no one was eaten by a grue." The rebuilding of trust in Hirot took longer than it did to dismantle the stocks set up at the town gate or the Jarl's tendrils of power. The stocks came down the same day the Jarl, his thegns, and his sorcerer were dispatched. The mood in Hirot was somber for several weeks. Whispering seemed to follow the heroes wherever they went. One of the monks of the temple gave up his cowl and ran for office, preaching hell and damnation for lawbreakers. He was roundly elected, having received a clear mandate from the villagers. Gratien stayed through the winter, not sure that the Hound wouldn't return to harry the town. He left without goodbye or fanfare when the snow and ice receded. No one queried his leaving. They were grateful the Elf removed himself; he was too quiet for the likes of the hardworking folk of Hirot, and always seemed to be watching and waiting, which made people uncomfortable. In the days immediately following the Jarl's removal, Lizt took to hiding in her ropemaker's storefront, but business was poor. After the first three days, no one wanted to buy rope from a woman cursed by unrequited love and misadventure. On a foggy morning several months later, Lizt quietly visited Alois's family, returning the large man's effects. She stayed for an awkward cup of tea, then left. Permanently. She paused and looked back ere exiting the gate, noting that the spot where the stocks had been was seeded with a carpet of new spring grass. [/QUOTE]
