Jaime’s blade was bloody as he limped his way back into the camp. The people of Gathert fought well, but the Koloss offensive was unrelenting. It was a matter of hours, now. Then another town would fall, and the plague of death would spread.
Jaime pushed the flaps of his tent open briskly, prepared to gather his things and sneak away from this doomed battlefield - to find a thin, white haired stranger lounging on his pillows. Immediately, he whipped out his sword and pointed it, but the stranger lazily waved him down.
”Who are you!”
”Just the person you need.”
”Answer better, or I’ll see your head rolling on those blankets.”
The man sighed. “Ahh, soldiers. Always so quick to aggression.” The man reached down to grab something from his side, and Jaime immediately tended, but the stranger just pulled out a paper. Jaime watched intrigued as he carefully unfolded it, revealing a map of a town.
”What is that?”
At last, the man smiled. “An opportunity. Tell me, Jaime… how would you like to avenge your brother?”
Phew!
Thank you, everyone, for such an incredible game (even if I was dead for like 90% - the real game was truly the dead doc we made along the way ).
So my biggest thanks go to @Furamirionind, my loyal companion in lifelessness, and @DrakeMarshall, our wonderful GM who definitely did not give us too many hints. Fura, ever gonna follow up on that Shardbuddy offer?
Large apologies to @Doc12, I may have tunneled on you a little there . But hey, at least I’m not the one who killed you.
I also feel like I owe an apology to @Araris Valerian; while e!reading Araris is one of my favorite hobbies, this time (and every other time I’ve done it) I was wrong.
Elims: you guys played an incredible game. @Ookla the Broken, you especially. I said in the dead doc I’d give you a standing ovation, and I am a man of my word.
*standing ovation*
