He gave the black sphinx, who he had decided to call Night until she gave him her actual use name, a glare that would have been more effective if he hadn't been lying on the ground, in a puddle of his own blood. "I would agree for an experienced Knight, well into his or her tenure as such. But for a first real opponent, in solo combat, especially one without any grounding at all in magic? I would say I did pretty damn well. And I suspect the townsfolk will not mind me needing the extra food, if we leave the corpse where they can gawk at it."<br/><br/>He watched the drow and fae try to remove it, before suddenly realizing something. "How is Meridia doing? I don't see her anywhere, and it went for her first. And if you can't get the sword out, we can leave it for a bit. It isn't going to rust immediately, and the magic on it should prevent mere blood from doing any sort of damage to it.<br/><br/>Night, once I am back up and in bed, would you be so kind as to go and let the Mayor know that we have dealt with his nuisance, and he can let the townsfolk know that the disappearance should not happen any more? We will even leave the body for them to admire if they want, at least until I decide if I want to take the whole thing back to get stuffed and mounted, or just the head. Definitely going to take all the scales, should be able to make a good shield for one of you with that, maybe."
