Knight of Pelor.In return, the grim-faced veteran atop the fine Karmoth-bred horse; "I will do no such thing, Sir...whatever...its been a few years since I scrapped with a knight, but the last one is with his god now...and I can send you to yours just as easily." Hand also goes to blade's hilt. Through gritted teeth, "I won't ask again...stand_down." What do you do, Starn?</blockquote>
