Felix just stood there, transfixed by shock and horror. 1 of the masked men had just ran Durwith through, an explosion had happened outside that the masked men possibly had a hand in causing, and now the masked man who had stabbed Durwith was strangling Lorges after the dwarf had tried to strike him down only for his sword to be stopped by what seemed to be the masked man's skin turning to metal. Felix couldn't understand what was going on. Who were these people? Who were they working for?* And most of all, why had they been sent to kill a pair of dwarves over the fact that they were shipping a few thousand gallons of mead?

*If they really were working for someone.
