[QUOTE="PieAndDragon, post: 3205170, member: 18108"] [B]Bitter Failure[/B] Temaka sat alone in the dark of the cave, a cold wind whistling past his cross-legged form. The taste of bitter failure was a thing rarely known to Temaka, used to quick victories and easy glory. At the price of one execution, he had lost his undead minions, his gnome aide, his pride, and the respect of the Wardens of the Tarnished Ones. Not only would he receive little more aid, but his foes knew that someone was hunting them. How had they grown so strong in such a short time? Where had their allies come from? He had executed the priest of Ra, but the halfelf noble, human enchantress and nomad warrior remained, waiting for his judgement of their crimes. His fetches, toughened undead blessed with a chilling touch, had been overwhelmed far more quickly than expected. And the gnome warrior-monk, a warrior of Earth, had barely stood his ground against the creature of the Beholder Lands, falling in moments. The accursed enchantress had been his bane, blinding Temaka with a sparkling dust. Nevertheless, he had a task to carry out, and more judgements to consider. Spies at Highsun had told him of his prey’s destination. He would take the form of a human and find what he could at the De Marco Estates. He would find new allies and lay new plans. He would wait and strike at the best moment, when he was strong and his foes were weak. Temaka would make his executions and be honoured among the Justicars once more. There would be no failure the second time. [/QUOTE]
