NameIess Posted September 7, 2022 Report Share Posted September 7, 2022 This muttering was Cucumber beard, speaking to a figure cloaked in shadows. "-ave him the scroll. Of course he doesn't, you think I don't know how to do my job? There's no need to worry. Everything will be fine." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NameIess Posted September 7, 2022 Report Share Posted September 7, 2022 (edited) The mysterious figure remained stubbornly cloaked in shadow, but Rym did get close enough to hear his next words, a rasping whisper. "You must handle him carefully my servant. If he but suspects our plan, all that we have worked for these many years will be lost. There can be no loose ends."

Thaidakar the Ghostblood he/him Posted September 7, 2022 Report Share Posted September 7, 2022 Mythos had translated the scroll almost perfectly, oblivious to the threatening way the cucumber beard was talking about him with the shadow man. Mythos smiled happily. Suddenly, he felt goosebumps on his arm. He stood up, alarmed. Something was wrong... he could feel it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NameIess Posted September 7, 2022 Report Share Posted September 7, 2022 Just now, The Bookwyrm said: You mean Rym. Yeah, woops. As Rym sent the message to Bookwyrm, the dark figure glanced sharply towards the bookcase Rym was hiding behind, and his voice sharpened as he spoke. "Servant, I see my trust in you was misplaced. We shall meet again soon to speak of your penance. For now, I must go." He vanished into the shadows, leaving behind only a faint scent of strawberries. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
