[QUOTE="Tellerian Hawke, post: 7609713, member: 6790669"] [b]Khubsheth's Counter-offer[/b] [gm] Combat rounds have ceased. [/gm] Khubsheth moves out of his "stall," into the open to face Dewydd. The proud, regal Sphinx is a wonder to behold. He is definitely the largest of his kind, and the most magnificent. He stares down Dewydd with a stern glare, as he speaks his peace: [color=red]"I have tried it your way before, adventurer. None of them ever returned. If my queen's curse is to end, it must be by a mighty hand, a hand mighty enough to put me down.
