Looking up at the crater's lip, she watches as the remaining Goliaths jump down from the narrow ledge beyond."I'm not going to miss this," she thinks and hustles across the slippery surface to climb the ejecta lip. Three Goliaths stand arrayed before her consort and his slave in some kind of parley.

"I have done as promised to N'gauthak and Or'lia. Now, let us return to your people so that we can discuss how this great debt can be repaid."He gestures to Pa’avu. "Translate."She looks at him for a moment, then complies.[HR][/HR]Chanvati intends this "debt" be repaid in service, specifically the Goliath clan's service to him as a personal army with which to return to Bantouk to face his political enemies.</blockquote>
