A Merc's Life: Howl of the Carrion King [03]

[Scott DeWar]

looking at the beastial abomination, Harnrey seems to have lost all mirth and humor as the speaks, :Beast! hear me now. You know the pain of the mistress, I can call her again, for she hates the foul wind you carry upon you being and strives to erradicate your kind from her skies. If you still have the spirit of mankind, then speak this tounge and answer him, " points to tsadok, " truthful or you shall know pain worse then the torment you have suffered till now!" Harnrey does not seem to be bluffing .. .. .. ..

Spoiler

will cast monster summoning II through wand and then bolster strength with bulls strength if it does not speak, provided the rest of the mercs don't mind.

Houwlou Groulenas, Olcán Ranger 4

Houwlou quickly, yet smoothly and unobtrusively glides between Tsadok and Harnrey, fingering the hilt of his longsword as he does so. "Give him hell, Harn," the Olcán whispers to his friend. To Tsakok he adds, "For such an abomination and mockery of life as this foul beast is, a quick death would surely be a blessing. I will not stand idly by and allow this mockery of life to befoul the fields and forests of this land. I consider it my duty as a Ranger to spare the world from such monstrosities."

The cleric leaves the building shaking his head, muttering "Ain't right, even if it is evil, just put it outta its misery"

Tsadok steps up to Houwlou and stays his hand. "You are a protector of nature, do you really feel killing this beast is what is right? Also, what about the balance of good and evil?"

When Houwlou looks to Tsdok he clearly sees doubt in the young man's eyes. Thinking on the words the rogue spoke also tells the wolfkin, Tsadok is not certain what is the right thing to do here.

Tsadok thinks on Houwlou's age (and hopefully his wisdom gained from his age and experiences) and removes his hand from the ranger's. Turns his back and leaves the mill. He leaves with great confusion. Why is it his friends don't place much value on life? Does he really belong with these men? Men...he uses the term lightly...his father taught him killing was cowardly and it seems the group he is with wants nothing more than to kill everything they see. Should he just leave now? Tsadok walks back the way the group came to somewhere far away from the mill and hopefully his thoughts, He will find a place to sit and wait on the others.

Houwlou will give Tsadok plenty of time to get out of earshot, and will then finish-off the peryton quickly and as painlessly as possible. Thinking about Tsadok more, he says, "You know, one of these days we've got to have a lon-n-n-ng talk with that boy!"
