Eldon was just about to answer the woman's insult with a witicism of his own, but After hearing Nodrick's remark Eldon started snickering profusely as he attempted to hold back a torrent of laughter that his friend's words had sparked within him. Nodrick had always been the best when it came to comebacks. Then the woman pulled a dagger on the trio. Eldon became very tense. Even more so when the woman performed a crimson rite. Fun was fun, but blood hunters were no laughing matter. Eldon breathed a sigh of relief when the woman lowered her weapon and walked away. Even with a 3 vs 1 advantage, Eldon didn't want to fight a blood hunter unless he absolutely needed to. Needless to say, Eldon was happy the woman had backed down. "Well she's certainly having a bad day" Eldon said once the blood hunter was out of earshot. He then turned to his fellows and smiled. "Now then" he said "The fight between the dwarf and the half-elf still seems to be going on, and I do believe I made it known I was willing to stake 10 gold pieces on the half-elf's victory. Any takers?". [@Torack] [@pops]
