Ras-Tabahn seems like an acceptable ally. He is quite different from the stodgy teachers at the academy who were so full of themselves and loved to hear themselves talk. He also never once disparaged me for being a girl or even mentioned my hair. As long as he continues to respect me, everything will go fine. If not, well, I am surrounded by the remnants of those who assumed I was weak."

He has shown me something marvelous in the ghosts, so that is a large mark in his favor. On consideration, I have decided to trust him, but only provisionally. For now, we are both vulnerable, and he must know that attacking me would be unwise. However, if he were to become indestructible first, I would do well to stay alert."

Sluggish water pooled near the road, and the slime of decay was on every surface. Weapons, armor and less-easily identifiable bits of detritus rose from the swamp. I could easily imagine great siege engines heaving stones at walls that were now crumbled ruins, and the clash of combatants who were now bleached white bones jutting from the wreckage."
