[QUOTE="CanadienneBacon, post: 6707646, member: 11146"] When Tolan mentioned the phrase, "Knight Captain," Dent looked up. A fresh wave of agitation made him grit his teeth in ire. Several days, two strong leads, and [I]still[/I]he hadn't retrieved the Knight Captain. It wasn't enough that he'd put his blade through Grimmjaw, through the priest's throat, through Qarbo's heart. Dent felt keenly the loss of making a true killing blow in those instances; desire for vengeance thrummed in his blood, filling both ears with bloodlust until he could think of nothing else. He shook his head, trying to shake loose and separate logic from emotion. The knight lapsed into silence. He picked up oil and whetstone and began sharpening his dinged-up longsword. He thought about his Knight Captain, about Qarbo, about the near-death of both Tolan and Damien, about the need for more information. After a long while, Dent grunted. He held up his steel, looked at it in the light, checked it for sharpness. [color=green]"I don't think the monastery has the Knight Captain. I think Qarbo was lying; the guard he sent below to fetch the Captain seemed confused about Qarbo's order. The shallow grave would be where I'd check next, or this Feathergale Spire."[/color] Dent looked up and eyed Damien. [color=green]"But if we're lacking leads and information, then Red Larch wouldn't be amiss, either."[/color] He shrugged. [color=green]"Hate to leave brigands alive and breathing in the monastery, but we left 'em at the Keep, so might as well. Whatever place we chose next, though, let's choose carefully. I won't be walking away from a third fight."[/color] [/QUOTE]
