[color=ff9900]"As you might now, I have spent my jade candle on the sightless we encountered at the portcullis. So, as of now, it seems that we only have two of them left overall."[/color] The giant didn't say it, but his tone expressed for him that he didn't like the prospect. [i]One[/i] sightless had been difficult enough to deal with, but how many high ranking cultists and associates would they encounter once it became obvious that their so called 'seed' was under direct attack ?

And then there were all those subtle changes to the Kharu-Natjer and their infrastructure. All jade candles but the very minimum amount necessary for basic illumination appeared to have been removed from the tunnels. Did they expect the upcoming battle to be lost and were already evacuating themselves and their equipment, or were they making things more difficult for another, maybe even sinister reason ? The latter thought really didn't go well with Týfurkh's mood, but every time his eyes darted towards their Kharu-Natjer guides, it only intensified. They looked different than the other ones. Were they real or were they fakes ? Or were they real, but their true intentions were different from what they had always pretended and now the facade started to crumble ?

He really would have liked to address this issue openly and have a talk with the others about it, but doing so now would end in a bit of a diplomatic disaster in the best case and some wild, unexpected reaction from their guides in the worst. All Týfurkh felt he could do right now was to feel better because of the urgently needed resupplies he had been able to obtain: A refilled quiver of big bolts and, maybe more important, finally something for a proper meleé that was more than just falling back to bare fists and improsived weaponry: a sword. A pretty big, two-handed sword instead. Dangling from Týfurkh's belt however it looked more like a toy he could easy use with one hand. It felt very good still.

[color=ff9900]"Let's say I'm holding up fine given the circumstances, Chres. I'm feeling a little tired, but I guess there's enough stamina left in me to participate in any celebration that might take place once this is over. And you ?"[/color]
