[QUOTE="darkbard, post: 9255543, member: 1282"] [I]Yazdan looks ready to draw right here and now at Rietka's slight: the Imperial Guard's reputation already took a serious hit on the day of the siege, and so feelings are still quite raw. So Pa'avu intervenes quickly. "I would like nothing more than the opportunity to plant your spiked back in the sand, Rietka." The Goliath stands to do just that. The extended time away from Bantouk in the wilds of the mountains and desert wastelands has rekindled the feral fire within her gut. It has been too long since she bested those minotaurs at the Audaseie estate, physically wrestled and dueled to assert her dominance as is the way of her people. "Wait, wait, wait!" Chanvati leaps to his feet, arms outstretched between the two warriors. "This is no place for this kind of contest! They are about to execute a man, and we cannot allow sparring in the streets. More public violence is exactly the spark the kindling of Bantouk does not need! But if you two must sate your desire for fisticuffs, I propose we make our way after the execution to Xerxes's School for Gifted Psicrafters. I have an appointment with Tectuktitlay, current headmaster, and I can arrange for you to spar in the Danger Chamber, a training space for students that makes use of Ki Amplification and Psionic Illusion Manipulation to replicate dangerous scenarios in which students can drill--against each other or psionic projections--in a safe space. "What say you, Pa'avu? Rietka?"[/I] [HR][/HR] Having discussed the situation with [USER=20459]@Nephis[/USER] , she indicates that Pa'avu does wish to spar with Rietka but that she would find the current grim milieu inappropriate for such an occasion. Our goal here is twofold: (1) Pa'avu hopes to ferret out the Bladeling Horde's level of dissatisfaction with the sedentary state of being an occupying force in an urban setting; any indication Rietka might make that they grow restless might provide leverage in interactions with the Empress to convince her that acceding to the establishment of a Senate might hasten the Legion of Ruth's departure and a resumption of her autonomy. (2) Chanvati wishes to consult with Tectuktitlay, a noted scholar of ancient history and government, about the period following Emperor Zalthomet's reign in the Fourth Dynasty, when attempts to set up a longstanding Bantoukian Senate failed, so that history's repetition can be avoided.
