Post subject:  The Dark Shores of Grimney
*A masked man lies motionless upon the sand, the waves of the Dudrassa crash behind him in the darkness. Blue crabs scuttle around his prone body, brushing against his twitching fingers. Slowly the man begins to move. The man drags his weary body through the sand and groaning he rises to his feet. The waves begin to break against the rocks behind him, the cool sea breeze soothes his sun blistered skin. The masked man reaches down and feels for the hilt of his sword, finding the weapon in place, he nods, smiles a cold smile and begins to walk*.

*Seated upon a carriage's cushioned seat Krell Garvik observes the weary traveller. He cracks his whip. Four mighty black horses lift their hooves and summoning great strength they pull the black coach over the sand. The wheels sink and bounce across the windswept dunes, until they roll to a stop beside the lone wanderer*.

*Jarus gazes up at the Coachman*.

How much to the nearest town?

I find myself short of the local currency.....

*He smiles and reaches his scarred fingers into his mouth and pulls back and forth on a rotted gold tooth*.

But....

*He gags and pulls the tooth from his gum*.

This will cover your fare....

*He spits a globule of blood*.

Loosened by the rocks of the Dudrassa.... A small blessing...

*Jarus outstretches his hand and offers the gold tooth to Krell*.

You're not a local man....

*Krell nods and reaches out his gloved hand*.

A fair trade....

*Jarus places the bloodied gold tooth in Krell's gloved hand*.

No.... Not a local man....

*He climbs up alongside the coach driver*.

I came from the dark and I will take others back with me...

*He pats Krell upon the shoulder and gives a bloodied smile*.

I'll stay beside you, I like to see the route that I am going....

*He spits more blood*.

Read the signs along the way...

*Krell holds the tooth between his gloved thumb and forefinger*.

That's gold....

*He smiles and places it in his pocket*.

I'll ask no questions stranger. Grimney's at war... I've taken no side.... I'll support whoever wins...

*He whips his horses and they begin to move off*.

I'm just business and I do business with whoever pays me....
