[QUOTE="Iron Sky, post: 4803698, member: 60965"] Session 20, Part 7 “Halt, who are you?” one of the Silver Knights shouted. “Stop there.” “My name is Kezzek Stone. I am a Greywarden,” Kezzek said, raising his empty hands. “What is your business here?” “We should ask you that. We are Hold-sanctioned mercenaries. There is a Hold Purge going on so if you're not of a Hold or a merc, then it is your actions here that are illegal.” The man took one step closer and motioned for his men to lower their bows and crossbows. “I suggest you walk away now or we'll be forced to uphold the law.” “You do know you're working for the Ashen Towers, don't you?” Kezzek said. “That's none of our business,” the Silver Knight said. “And I strongly suggest you make in none of yours.” “Fair enough,” Kezzek said and turned to walk back to the others. “That's it?” Suniel said. “You're just going to let them walk away?” “I am. They have it right. I started a Hold Purge already, I'm done here,” Kezzek said, walking back towards Port. “Let me know how it all goes.” They watched the Greywarden walked back through the fields. “Maybe I can convince them,” Suniel said. He chanted, ran his hand past his face, and vanished. “He do that often?” Kormak said. “Not as much as he used to. He said he's mostly past such 'petty magics' again,” Harold said. “Whatever that means.” [I]Let's hope I don't have to use any more magic than this,[/I] Suniel thought as he walked towards the wagon. “Silver Knights, know that you will be doing great evil if you fulfill your contract,” he said, standing a ways away from the wagon. “Who'se that now,” the same man, probably their Captain, said, scanning the area around for Suniel. “How many interruptions do we have to put up with?” “Call it what you will, but I implore you to reconsider.” The Captain squinted and his main raised their weapons. “Step out where we can see you.” “This is one contract I urge you to not complete,” Suniel said, walking quickly around them and moving further away as a white-robed figure in their midst began an incantation and looked in his direction. “Why should we listen to a man who must hide behind magics?” the Captain said. He glanced back at the robed figure, who shook his head. Suniel continued to circle around them. He stood further up the road when he spoke again. “I know you have no idea what you do, for as just men you could not go on if you knew. Your cargo is dark Ashen Towers necromancy. You do Thessalock's work here.

Harold grunted and put his bow back in his quiver. “Maybe we shouldn't wait that long...” “Or that,” Suniel said. “Hopefully we'll find some other option.” *** They followed until dawn. “I'm going to talk to them again,” Suniel finally said, the weariness of the long night and frustration of their task finally catching up with him. “Well, before you do, you might want with [I]them[/I],” Kormak said, pointing up. High above, three black robed figures plummeted from the sky. [/QUOTE]
