Fri, 31 July 2009 “So, Lady Amidira.

No luck. I was a courtesan, not a wizard, and a down-on-her-luck courtesan at that. The ruffians, whom I was forced to regard as potential clients, stayed stubbornly put, their lopsided grins displaying teeth stained brown. Where they had teeth, anyway.

Their armor showed signs of recent and repeated battle. Their tabards, emblazoned with the visage of a snarling beast, were bloodstained and in bad need of washing, as were the men themselves. When the two leaned over my table, I leaned back, repulsed by the pungent aroma of fermented machismo.
