[b][u]Beric Vendal[/u][/b]

Beric continued shooting arrows from his perch atop the horse, helping out where he could, while the rest of the party fought on. Most of them appeared to be highly skilled, with or without magic, while others had taken less direct roles. Either way, the skirmish had ended, and they had been triumphant.

The mask vanished from his face, and he dismounted. [color=00a651][i]Well fought,[/i][/color] Cassius remarked. [color=00a651][i]So, as you can see, you are not the only one with abilities. I trust I don't need to remind-[/i][/color]

[color=f7941d][i]Yes, yes, be on my guard![/i][/color] Beric growled in his head, as he led his newly acquired horse to a nearby tree and began to tie it. Why did this fop of an actor insist on reminding him of the obvious? Once his horse was tied, he looked down at the ground and spat.

[color=00a651][i]Your manners need some work... you do know some of those currently present are nobility, right? They tend to be easily provoked.[/i][/color]

[color=f7941d][i]And now they're outlaws just like me. I don't get a rat's ass if they don't like my 'manners'.[/i][/color] He walked to the nearest corpse, pulled out his knife, and slit the fallen man's throat, just to be certain the soldier was dead. Then he quickly and methodically patted him down, taking anything of value. Once he was done, he moved on to the next body and did the same. [color=f7941d][i]I'll be a noble myself one day. Maybe even a King.[/i][/color]

[color=00a651][i]A king need friends, soldiers, allies, and subjects. Unless you have those, you can't just kill a King and take his place.[/i][/color] Cassius pointed out, while Beric was looting a third body. [color=00a651][i]But who needs Kings anyways? Why not a different system, one where-[/i][/color]

[color=f7941d][i]Enough,[/i][/color] Beric thought as he slit yet another throat, and pocketed another small handful of coin. [color=f7941d][i]I'm the one with the body, not you. I choose what happens.[/i][/color] Then as he knelt down next to the fourth body he briefly glanced at his allies. [color=f7941d][i]I've already proved my strength in battle. If they're too weak to handle some rude words, why should I even work with them? Besides, that girl there has the look of a noble, but I heard her swearing like a common thug.[/i][/color]

Cassius chuckled. [color=00a651][i]True enough. Still, manners are important.[/i][/color]

Beric didn't respond to that. After his sixth body, he stopped looting, and instead focused solely on cutting throats.
