The Malazan Book of the Fallen: The Burning of Kindle

Durzo listens to Ivy and then responds, "I am Durzo Stern. But what we know is our business. However you are free to tell us why you have been tracking her and state your business with her."

He is watching for signs that she has been deceitful during this exchange.

Helicrates fixes his gaze upon the woman. He thinks he recalls something he heard on the tavern last night... As he makes up his mind, he warps himself in his heavy tunic again. Noticing the quick recovery rate of the woman, he grows worry. Under his vests, he places his hand softly on the pommel of his trusty sword.

G. Know: 22 (a 20, woot!)

[sblock=Teth and Helicrates]Ivy speaks of the Imass....known as the T'lan Imass...historicaly known as the deadly undead army raised by the Emperor Kellanved years before his disappearance, an army the devastated all it encountered. Yet, many texts have talked of the T'lan Imass as being the precursors to the civilisation, indeed the humans, you see around...perhaps such things warrant further investigation...[/sblock]

[sblock=Teth]As a practitioner of Telas, Warren of Fire, you would be aware that it is the child of Tellan...the Warren of the T'lan Imass....[/sblock]

Ivy grimaces "I will be honest" she notes your looks, "A touch of Claw training and a smattering of Tarthernal blood..."
A hand sweeps the thick bones from the table. She looks at each of you, a strange certainty in her eyes.
"The witch harvests...do you even know what that means?"
Ivy"s question hangs in the air....

 

[perrinmiller]

Durzo harrumphs, "Probably not corn, eh? I would assume that you are implying the bone witch is involved with necromancy. So is she harvesting bones, mutilating corpses, or collecting souls?"

"So what's it do with you then?"

"As far as I know, you are the intruder here; messing with the bone witch things. I've seen what she can do to people, you are either too bold, or too dumb to try her temper." states Helicrates rising his left eyebrow.

"I will take the bait. What does she exactly harvest?" Teth answers, waiting for the woman's point.

'Tarthernal blood' means what?

OOC: "Insert usual rushed apology here"

[sblock=Teth]The Tarthenal are a race of people not often encountered, known to be EXTREMELY tough and resilient, hard-to-kill-types. Not many, if any, tribies are known of. They don't hail from this continent and are largely believed to have suffered the curse of civilisation. That being said, half-breeds and further dilutions of the bloodlines do crop up - Teth, being a learned-soul, would know this[/sblock]

"Souls" says Ivy, looking at Durzo "As you correctly surmise, sir"

"Her...creators, if you will, are a pair of necromancers here in the city...I assume they are the ones you work for? Protecting their vested interest?"

Walking around the table, Ivy looks closely at the bones. One hand idly re-arranging them into another pattern. Already you can see that her blood has congealed over her wounds, whilst the viscious puncture marks remain in her armour.

"Fire is life, life is fire" she murmurs, before turning back to you, "An Imass saying, I am told"

 

[perrinmiller]

Durzo doesn't answer her, but looks to Teth with raised eyebrow instead. Then he asks him, "Goble working for necromancers?"
