<DIV> Upstairs when
Farseeker notices blood pour out of
Unali's<BR> black armor he
considers jumping. He turns to Kiet.
"Jump!<BR> go help her.
I'll have to run downstairs."</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Kiet simply looks aghast with his mouth open
at Farseeker. Jump? JUMP!?! And do what, exactly? Is
this over-muscled oaf a fool as well as insane? That's a long
bleeping drop! Not to mention that all Kiet has is a stinkin' dagger
and NO ARMOR. Kiet's not that stupid. Warriors may be that
stupid...but not the old ones...</FONT><BR><BR><FONT face=Arial size=2>After the
fight is done so quickly...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial

"Never mind." Farseeker tells Kiet as he gets to the door.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Kiet gives Farseeker that 'No Kidding' look.
Being a good actor, there's little doubt about what the look means.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As soon as practical, Kiet would like to read thru
any of the documents and see if they are in a language he knows. If so,
it's time to read them real fast.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Damn the High Elder, Kiet thinks. This
situation is simply getting ridiculous. First we are told we can't use our
greatest magical strengths, then we keep getting into these brawls. Kiet's
not really interested in becomming someone's, or some <EM>thing's</EM>, weapon
sheath. What's needed here is a lancer troop, not some mish-mash of
individuals, half of whom are nearly helpless without their magics.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Kiet simply growls under his breath over that
thought.</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
