[QUOTE="pogre, post: 2143288, member: 6588"] BSF - more choices coming ;) Zandyrium Episode 33 At Bison Cave a day’s ride from Zandyrium – Silcrass the Aranea fawned over his mate, Neolepta as he waited for Heinrich’s response to his [I]sending[/I] requesting an audience. He was certain the cleric would come and finally, Silcrass could reward him for the magnificent gifts they had bestowed upon him. First, they had saved his precious Neolepta, and now, they had delivered a formidable spellbook to him via one of the most powerful wizards in the northern world. [b]Heinrich returned the [I]sending[/I]:[/b] “Coming your way within the hour.” Silcrass folded his arms in satisfaction. [I]It was good to have friends[/I], he thought. ***** Meanwhile, back in Thray – “What about Captain Disod?” Wassabe complained. “He is retired we will hire another,” Mercutio answered. “I don’t think ye’ understand desert-foot, this is a grade-A captain with an eye fer’ merchandise.
