Her hands having completed their preliminary triage of A'miel's limbs and body, she looked around to see which would be the safest escape route from the fight. It was at that moment that she came face-to-face with Almira.
“I’m with the Maiden. Are you hurt? Have you seen the others?”
She was...
Stormcloud gray eyes watched as Radcliff and Vinheima hopped over the gunwales and strode purposefully into the tunnels that linked the old smuggler's berth to the town above. Gnarled, muscular hands delved into a leather pouch and retreived a slice of dried mango to stick half of it between...
Cecily moved like lightning the moment the first gunshot rent the air. She kicked A’miel’s knees and brought him roughly to the floor, covering his body with her own. This sudden change in the dynamics had put Keiko on the back foot, but her client’s safety was paramount. She would have to...
Cecily pressed herself closer to A'miel's back, feeling bolder by his protective presence. Of course, she would and could give her life to protect him. It was part of the oath she gave when her services were retained, just.... she prefered not to give her life right here, right now. Since...
Cecily amused herself by slowly smoldering as she watched Steel walk over to and talk to the gambling merchant. The blush that slowly crawled up her body accelerating as she watching him drape an arm over the other man’s shoulder. What she wouldn’t do to be the subject of that draped arm.
Her...
Castitas listened to the dynamic between the Voidsmaster and the Captain. The former was brave, loyal and impetuous, portraying his devotion to duty and desire to act first, whatever the consequences. The latter was more conservative, more careful in his approach. She found herself lobbying on...
Cecily’s smile seemed to light up her face at A’miel’s dismissal of the poor state of the coins and at his apparent interest in the dessert she planned to make for him. Lord A'miel was her first foreign client and she was eager to please him, and please him she would in whatever way pleased him...
Earlier
The shadows watched as the tall, slender aristocrat was confronted by three lowly thugs.
They coiled, ready to move with serpentine speed, as the leader squared up to the aristocrat.
They maintained their tension as the leader, his brain fatally pierced slumped to the floor.
They...
On the bridge, Castitas looked from the impassive face of the captain to the obviously exhilarated demeanor of the Voidsmaster.
“The deceased’s personal effects are still in the apothecarium, if you wish to look over them. As to the people in the port side Number 4 Macrocannon vault who...
As the heavy bulkhead doors ground shut behind her, Castitas’ green eyes swept the bridge. As she had hoped, the Captain remained on the Command Dias, along with his ADC and Voidsmaster Persin. She moved purposefully over to the stairs that ascended to the dias and was respectfully stopped by...
Assured that nothing of grave import had presented that required her attention, Castitas left the apothecarium and returned to the bridge. The data link hung from her belt continued to scroll updates from the medicae both in the apothecarium and deployed across the ship. She had bid the device...
Castitas watched the back-and-forth between the two Techpriests with equal parts confusion and interest. Magos Ren seemed to be implying that Magos Nefecris was not a member of the Cult Mechanicus, or perhaps he saw her as being from some inferior branch of the Cult body. This Castitas...
There was some quality to the Carto-Artifex’s voice that always set the Hospitaller’s nerves jangling. Was it the strange, almost inhuman quality of her voxabulator? Or the unusual inflections and stresses on certain words that Castitas had heard from no other member of the crew? Regardless, she...
In a tiny cell in the bowels of the mighty Golden Goose, a solitary figure lay upon the cold stone flags of the floor. Naked but for the rough hempen tunic, she nonetheless sweated with the fervor of her prayer.
"Deus Imperator, dona mihi sine pollutione mentis*," she whispered, "Custodiat...
Yuri Kitsune
This isn't right, Yuri thought to herself, as she looked around her. Everywhere she looked screamed 'This is not Thanalan!'. Roegadyn were unloading crates from sailing ships onto the docks, as seagulls wheeled overhead, screeching to each other. A Hyur with a fishing rod strolled...
K'shar was bored. K'ryx had run off to do yet another GATE, leaving his older brother to sit watching from the sidelines. A gigantic Voidsent appeared on the platform and began farting and sneezing in different directions, blasting contestants off the platform. K'ryx survived until the last...
Yuri was lost.
Again.
She had asked directions to the nearest major settlement from: a wandering Elezen woman, a drunken Lalafell, a Roegadyn man dressed only in a decidedly brief pair of shorts and a Treant. Granted, the latter's only contribution to the exchange was firing razor-sharp leaves...

Captain Hesperus
The River moves from high places to low. The scavenger travelled through the old capital, drifting through bazaars and market halls looking for the right signs indicating where the Black Market was currently located. The Grand Eye's spies were everywhere and places like the Black Market were...
The River was tranquil. On the surface, it appeared to be still, but none knew what currents flowed beneath the surface. River had brought his pack full of scavengings from beyond the walls of the city to find someone to trade with. He had been trailing around the merchant's district, speaking...
