Or I could cover them for you, but it's going to be another deal. It's Jalwak, the Gobernor's son. My men will show him to you. Kiss him, and ask him nicely to challenge the man with the serpent tattoo to a duel. I'll leave the details to you! Of course, needless to say that our deal is not to be made public!"<br/>He turns, and points at a man at the other table, seems to be an Arimite as well... although there is something weird about the way he moves.<br/>Either way, the man jumps immediately, and approaches you.<br/>"Show her Jalwak!"<br/>The order requires execution, and the man only nods. You have no doubts he'd do exactly what he was told.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=82056.msg4866894#msg4866894">Quote from: MadPanda on 01-07-2011, 05:14:07</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">"It is merely an idle thought, I promise.  Buying and selling of man-flesh is of little interest to me, whatever the profit.  I would wager the Batreans feel the same, and the Sawila, but they are rarely given any choice in the matter."  Now Adjia chuckles softly.  "Have you never seen the way an Arimite swain treats his lady love?  They are not a people given to tender affections and gentle caresses.  Blows, buffets, and coarse words are what most blushing brides may expect.  One would think they expect their women to be tougher than Kang, the way they beat them.  Joyless people, Arimites."<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>"I agree", the Virago concedes. "Joyless they are. But you overestimate how much abuse there is... nobody wants to get an order on his head, and everybody can put an order on anyone".<br/>She shrugs.<br/>"Neither is the way of the Virago, anyway... I'd cut any husband that brutalizes me myself. And you just prove my point - the Arimites themselves don't take particular pleasure in beating their wives. Why would an arimite female want to have a mate that's only good for punching?"<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=82056.msg4886060#msg4886060">Quote from: Leorobin on 05-07-2011, 06:54:46</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Once in the room, Kalaj closed the door and looked at those on the room, making sure that the innkeeper had left already.

If someone could indeed cut through them, it would most likely require magic and supreme skill with the weapon. And the weapon better be an axe.<br/>Several blows with an axe might well do the trick, though, even without magic. Strangely enough, the floor seemed less thick than the walls, from the sound it made when they walked on it. It was quite possibly true about the ceiling. At least, the sound was similar.
