The to and fro between the paladin upon the citadel sparked a second wind within Torus. The ash, flavoring the fluttering gales, hinted a haunting excursion.

I do not disagree with ya, lad. These hoarders are wild pigs, feeding off the crumbs of Greenest. Ferret them out? Yes! The cleverness of foxes deracinates the cunning of devils.

This town shall feast on the spoils of our bounty. Their still hearts will become our quarry! We will fly like eagles, kick like mules and hide like hermits. We must go now or forfeit until tomorrow’s eve.” [/color] [@The Harbinger of Ferocity][@Hekazu][@Ryonara][@Lucius Cypher][@Norschtalen]
