Naturally, it [i]had[/i] to be them. I spare a glance to Gerard and then to Fionn - I myself having no personal encounters with them means I have to rely on their knowledge on the truth of our revealed enemies reputation, again. 

But if any signs are pointing any which way, Dame Tyaethe's use of language almost completely begins to railroad me. The canary in the coal mine is now choking to death.

By appearances alone, though, many of these hard cases appear to have fallen to each other's blades already. Unless their employers didn't adequately warn them of their quarry's effects, it appears somebody got careless. Either way, as barbarian as these animals might be, they're unlikely to be in very good shape even if any of them survived. 

Still, the anxiety persists. Alette is right - no curse I've ever heard of had this macabre and grand effect. I'd almost suspect sabotage.

I pull my visor down for the time being - the stench of blood is probably beginning to contribute to the unease.
