Harold Blackhoof
The golden light recedes, leaving the air heavy and thick with the smell of wet stone and ozone. My ribs ache, but the structure holds firm for now.
Ollisir the Silent
The price of that magic was steep, Harold. I have nothing left to give, and the tide is already reclaiming the lower levels. I must reach the upper ramparts to signal the rest of the garrison.
Harold Blackhoof
Go then. Secure the towers, Ollisir. We cannot afford to lose the vantage point if those cutters make landfall.
Ollisir the Silent
Hold the prisoner if you must, but do not linger in the dark. The sea does not bargain.
Ollisir turns, his movements stiff and ghostly, and vanishes into the gloom of the corridor. Harold is left alone with the trembling captive.
The Battered Pirate
He left you, Reeve. Even your own shadow knows when the tide is too high to fight against.

“I tell the pirate, wildthorn priest trained me in the ways of countering spider queen, i cast a silence mind on him and say now you can not hum her songs in your head and both us here”
SUCCESS (Legendary Willpower, rolled +1)
Harold Blackhoof
The worm dares to mock the order while the waves hammer against our very foundations. He believes silence is his shield, but he has no idea what I can command.
Harold Blackhoof
The Wildthorn priests taught me how to sever the webs that bind the mind to the Spider Queen. You think you are clever, singing her dirges in your thoughts to keep your courage up.
Harold Blackhoof
No more. I command your thoughts to cease. You will be silent, and you will hear only the sound of your own fear.
Harold reaches out, his large, scarred hand pressing firmly against the pirate's temple. A pulse of violet light ripples outward, causing the water on the floor to vibrate violently for a fleeting second.
The Battered Pirate
The song... it is gone. There is only cold, damp dark. Why can I not remember her name?
Harold Blackhoof
Now, the room is empty of everyone but us. Tell me, pirate. Where is the cache buried before the sea swallows the entrance to the silt caves?
