SAGA - Curse of the Shadow Page #4

---

- I will take you there.

With your wounds you are too slow.

Go back to Warspire. This is my affair now.

I too have unfinished deeds.

I go to face the horde one last time.

Kill me if you must.

I will not tell you the place.

Go on, kill him. It is at Garret's

Crossing at new moon.

The girl speaks truth, but there

are details of which she is unaware.

If it's the vessel you want,

you'd be fools to refuse my help.

I care nothing for this so called Bone Vessel.

I would rather saw my left arm off

and be done with the both of you

than work with this pig faced scum

Your curse! Your days

are numbered, Shadow child.

It is I who shall refuse to accompany you!

She is not controlled by the Shadow of Death.

Yet she would kill an unarmed,

wounded, kneeling opponent.

The goddess sent me to each

of you, all for a noble purpose.

It is no coincidence we will

go together to meet our fate.

Had enough?

There may be a time and place

for you to kill each other

but it is not here and not now.

I do not serve your Goddess and I

do not live or die by goodwill.

So long as her goals and my own are aligned

I will go with you.

I care nothing for the gods. I do as I please.

But I will travel with you two fools to

the Bleeding Stone and no further.

That's for my part. Keltus will see to it

that his priestesses remove my mark.

And if I again choose to end

the life of a worthless Orc

do not get in my way or it

will be yours that I take.

.

To the Bleeding Stone then. We'll march

through the night if Kullimon can handle it.

Even dripping in blood

I out walk you, pale-skin.

There's movement out there.

I can sense it.

Yet I see no warmth

and hear no beating heart.

Not all that walks has a beating heart.

A weapon.

Thanks for your help.

- It was a puny lizard.

No match for Keltus the Wanderer.

The Bleeding Stone,

was a meeting place for the Warlocks.

Ancient worshipers of an Elder God.

Nemyt, what was it Maggut wanted you here for?

He told me to wait for the Moon Zyneth

and then to collect the blood from the stone.

This is not something my raiders care about.

It was not needed for the exchange.

Only the Shadow wants this blood.

We should leave it be.

The Horde was to be paid in gold.

- How much?

A thousand coins worth.

- Which we don't have.

Nemyt, it's time to tell us everything

Maggut Guilbrow said to you in that prison.

He became suspicious of me when

I asked where the Bleeding Stone was.

He couldn't tell me anything

more so I killed him.

You should have left him for me to question.

We wait here and see if the Bleeding Stone

lives up to its name, then collect the Blood.

We may need Nemyt to pose as
