Still, he tries to show courage.<br/>"You attacked me and wounded my men, just in order to get those two? Fine, take them... that was totally unnecessary, though! I'm a trader! We could've, you know, struck a deal!"<br/>His mouth is still dry, and his eyes are avoiding the mask's gaze.<br/>"Take her and go away! Just promise not to come back, and it's cool!"<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=82056.msg5202207#msg5202207">Quote from: Leorobin on 13-09-2011, 07:08:15</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">"No, I'm not." Kalaj replied dryly while getting over towards the women, he let Adjia do the talking while he checked them, just to see if he could recognize either of them as their target. He kept his ears at ready in case he heard footsteps from the stairs. He kept his back to the wall, his sword in hand and his eyes hovering between the girls and the men on the floor.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>It becomes obvious rather fast that the woman you were sent for is indeed one of those two. She has already been tied, while the other was still struggling. It is hard to ascertain what race the other woman is from.<br/>Other than that, both look healthy, not counting some bruises and traces from a whip. The back of the unknown girl has more traces.<br/>It seems to Kalaj that he's back in the forest. Despite Adjia's talking, he can hear sounds several floors down.<br/>Which, of course, means he not only hears steps, but clanking of metal, too, and muffled words. Then you hear a loud thump, and then the steps start again. Sounds like at least four men walking, but it might be half a dozen as well.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">I actually rolled for this one, hidden, as I make some of the Perceptrion rolls.
