The man lowered his sword, but it didn’t look like he was going to let them off the hook so easily. She recognized the bite in his voice, but the intent behind it was still hard to decipher. Was he doing this because they were Tainted? Surely there were easier ways to cause them trouble than to dog them all the way to the Bounty House, though she knew better than to underestimate the persistence of spiteful people. Perhaps he was just a different sort of sadist.

There wasn’t much time to worry over it before they were joined by even more newcomers. They didn’t look like guards—though frankly, it was hard for halflings to look like proper guards even in full armor—but they did bear colors. Yellow robes, the mark of Zubil. Priests. 

[i]Damn.[/i]

They were performing rites, or giving resting prayers, or doing any number of the other inane things priests did to the dead. It hardly mattered [i]what[/i] they were doing, the real rub was that they were getting closer. For now they were bickering, but soon enough they’d notice the absolute mess around them, and immediately thereafter, they’d notice the two Tainted held up by a man with his sword drawn. Not a good look for Kyreth and herself. 

[color=skyblue]“Yes, fine, sure,”[/color] she said, quiet and hurried. [color=skyblue]“We’ll take you with us if you can stand the company. But as I said, we don’t mean to be late, so let’s get going.”[/color]

With one last glance to the pair of priests, Lilann swallowed her nerves and gave the hedgeman her back, starting out of the cemetery and ushering Kyreth to follow her. She’d try to keep herself between the two of them, but at the moment it seemed more important that they get away from the halflings first. [i]Then[/i] they could worry about being alone on the road with a man who gave his sword before his name.
