[QUOTE="Sparky, post: 1984567, member: 13681"] In a flurry of activity, flashes in the darkness, a flaming blade and guttural orcish speech the battle is won. [COLOR=DarkSlateGray][I]I’m getting slow. I barely got two swings in. I’m not keeping up.[/I] [/COLOR] Shaking his head, Oliver slumps against the wall, wincing at the wound draining blood onto his dark leathers. His face is pale as the others begin negotiations. He pushes away from the wall and goes to stand near where Hirtius is bent over the poor child. He crouches, knees popping, back complaining. He pulls the dark helm-mask of his armor away, revealing wild tufts of thin white hair, bright in the darkness. He touches the girl’s brow with her gnarled fingers, smoothing her hair away from her face, smudging ash across her forehead as he does so. He swallows, jaw clenching and Hirtius sees and feels a rage that borders on the holy come over the old man. But the only outward sign is a cording of the man’s thin neck and bunched jaw muscles. Oliver looks over his shoulder at the captive orc, eyes passing over Nurthk’s even-tempered face and to a seething Raven beyond and a Fendric moved to anger and violence. The old rogue gives their opponent’s measure with a long, steady glance. [COLOR=Teal]“I know you, orc. I’ve seen your lies on a hundred faces, heard your deceits in a hundred tongues. Why should we believe a single word that passes your lips?”[/COLOR] Oliver squints in the dim and turns his attentions back to the girl as his feet. He gestures at Hirtius’ water skin and fishes a small square of white fabric from somewhere within his armor. He dampens the skin and begins to wipe the girls face, his own face a grim mask of anger.
