Rhoach Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 (edited) Click on Links if you missed Pt. 1 or Pt. 2! Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 “…don’t know that it’s evil just because it’s a troll,” Marianne was saying, gesticulating with her staff. Chorich had obviously lost some of his holy conviction under the onslaught of the mage’s words. He now held his hammer at Rhoach as if he had forgotten why he had done so in the first place. Watching the two, Rhoach surmised that they were probably very close, a mated pair perhaps. While the paladin and mage were trading words, the dwarf, Kerlack, had grown more and more impatient. His face had grown redder and redder, until finally he hoisted his axe and shouted, “By my beard! You humans are hopeless! I’m disposing of this little rat right now!” The dwarf took a step toward Rhoach, who, desperately looking for something to buy time, shouted back in the common Alliance language, “I’m no rat, you gnomelicking midget!” He had learned some creative insults as a master thief’s apprentice. The entire company widened their eyes in amazement and stared at him. The dwarf’s jaw nearly hit the ground as he held his axe aloft in midstrike. “It… speaks the Alliance language?” he asked nobody in particular. At that moment, the chanting in the woods that Rhoach had heard earlier returned suddenly with a vengeance. This time it was loud enough to make a small flock of crows take flight from some nearby trees, cawing raucously. Time seemed to freeze as a confused, then angry expression crossed Kerlack’s face. Before he could say whatever was on his mind, however, a bolt of electricity streaked down from the strangely clear sky and ripped through the dwarf’s axe, which acted as a lightning rod. A blinding light and a boom of thunder knocked captive and captor alike to the ground. Edited July 3, 2004 by Rhoach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balandar Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 It might be a good idea to post them all in the same thread or have a link back to the previous two stories. I have not had time to read much of anything. =( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhoach Posted July 3, 2004 Author Share Posted July 3, 2004 Thanks for the suggestion. I thought they would be fairly easy to find since they were in the same forum, but it might be a good idea, still. Part 1 Part 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balandar Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 Heh, just edit your post and add the links there. I doubt people will scroll all the way down here just to find links to the original posts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
