[QUOTE="arwink, post: 821236, member: 2292"] An answer to Lela's question in update form, cause I'm at work, I'm bored and I can't be bothered working on thesis stuff at the moment :) [I]Saturday, August 26th, 508 AF, continued [/I] Goeffrey and Halgo huddle together, whispering quietly while Thrash strolls languidly around the room. "Blue flames," he exclaims every couple of minutes. "Whoah. Freaky." "Does St Cuthbert offer any recourse for killing Blarth," Halgo pauses and counts to five under his breath, "because of this?" "I'm not sure, " Geoffrey says. "If things go bad, maybe we can file it under vengance rather than justice. Cheer up though, it might not be that bad." Halgo raises an eyebrow. "He looks strangely frightening," Geoffrey offers. "Not to us, of course, but goblins may find the spikes intimidating. And he does look like he knows how to use that flail." "To do what? Flagellate himself to prove he's as tough as he looks?" "Hey," Thrash yells. They both look up to see him standing by the statue, kneeling and looking at something close to the ground. "What?" Halgo asks. "Does this thing move or something? Or has someone dragged it aside?" "It moves, there's a secret door behind it. Why do you ask?" "There's some slight scraping on the stone here, and the dust has been shifted recently." Thrash looks up at them, red eyes gleaming. "Could you make it move for me? Watching a statue walk could be cool. The best I've ever done is talk to this glowing blue pool. He told good stories, but he didn't much like it when I needed to take a drink." "You could tell that, just by looking at the ground?" Geoffrey asks. "Sure," Thrash says. "Some dwarves taught me back home, how to read tracks over stone. Harder than trailing someone through the forest, but it's doable if you know what to look for." He stretches his arms and applies pressure to the statue, trying to make it move. It's an impossible task, but the muscles straining against seem impressive. "He's an idiot," Halgo says abruptly. "So's Blarth," 1...2...3...4...5..."and we work with him." Geoffrey explains. That seems to settle things. "Thrash, you might want to step back," Halgo says, digging the mirror out of his pack. "I think it's time we moved on." [/QUOTE]
