Asher
The Jaded Shadow
Asher hid away his crossbow as the rest of the Chosen relaxed, or at least partially relaxed. He simply nodded when Maggie introduced him.
After hearing the dwarf's tale, a sense of danger started rising up from within him, an urge to escape that served him well in...
Asher
The Jaded Shadow
Asher readied the next bolt and tried to get another opening, but the fight was over before that. He relaxed a bit, but quickly readied his crossbow again pointing it at the darkness of the side tunnel. He did his best to try and make out whatever it was that seemed to...
Asher
The Jaded Shadow
Asher took out his crossbow and started loading a steel tipped bolt into it, hoping he'd have enough time to draw his shortsword once his right hand was free. Luckily, being in the back of the group, he wasn't a target for the beasts yet, but it also mean that him...

Asher looked at the bridge as well, but knowledge on ancient constructions was not really something a city thief would have, at least not enough to have an opinion on it. He did wonder how one would go about building something that large in an area so remote. Magic...

"We can always return here to dig if the other path doesn't exist." Asher said unconvinced. He has seen and done many things though the ages, but never was he given guidance by moss. It is true that he would use rats and other animals to course a path through unmapped...

The Jaded Shadow
Asher looked around the rubble, looking for any sign of a passage or crevice he might try and pass through.
"Maybe there's a hole on top of the pile we might be able to enter?"
He was thinking of climbing the pile if he saw no entrance from below, but decided to wait...

Hoping the argument would die down soon, Asher contemplated about sharing some of the information he had gathered. Before that ever happened, they saw a white wolf soar through the sky, which was then followed by several other natural or unnatural disasters.
Though the...

The Jaded Shadow
Though worried at first, Asher found it was surprisingly easy to sneak several chunks of crystal into his satchel. With the focus being on the argument with Dina, it would not be too difficult to help himself to some of the treasures that might line the groups pockets...
Asher
The Jaded Shadow
The smell of burning flesh hit Asher, making him hesitate going down where the others went, despite there being no obvious danger. The smell was grotesque, incomparable to a common barbecue and it filled him with unpleasant memories. After a minute he shook his head...

The Jaded Shadow
Back in Kossar every now and then some merchant or miner would attain riches through sheer twist of fate, earning them and their family a new status in society. Young or new nobles, typically much more creative with their spending habits, were perfect targets for...

"But of course I trust my queen."
To throw me in jail once we are free of the sorceress.
"Any thief such as myself swears their loyalty to the true ruling royalty,"
We'd be fools not to, makes stealing from them easier,
"Regardless of the current predicament your...
Happy holidays as well!
Been busy for the past couple of weeks, but things are finally settling down for me (still on borrowed Internet though). Sorry for being even less active than usual.
Seems like Asher was directly called out in the meantime. Yikes.

The hike was draining, and the air felt even colder than it was in the village. Asher was glad he got himself warmer clothes, though he felt the added weight with every step he took. Carrying heavy gold whilst climbing some of the endless city steps could not compare...

The Jaded Shadow
Asher had no words on the Drakkar's amazing ability to attract attention. He thought that them being giant lizards was bad enough already, but Auri's performance just now showed how lacking his imagination was.
After being stunned for a moment, Asher followed up on...
Asher
The Jaded Shadow
Asher enjoyed the warmth of his drink, feeling it fill him with warmth. After sitting there for a while, playing around with the now empty cut in his hands, he decided to pay the barkeep and go get himself something warm to wear.
I hope those hunters, the Silverthorns...
Asher
The Jaded Shadow
Taking a moment to process all that the barkeep mouthed, Asher nodded,
"I was busy looking for a tavern to notice. I'll go and check out the shop after I warm myself up a bit."
Asher said and went silent, hoping the barkeep would take that as a sign to go and get him...

"Some mulled wine will be fine. I'm just passing through on my way to a relative, so I won't be staying."
Asher added a small lie to throw anyone in hearing range off, while hoping the barkeep would not try and make small talk.
Overhearing what the group said, Asher...
Asher
The Jaded Shadow
With the cold still fresh in his mind and body, the hearth felt too inviting for Asher so he chose to sit at the empty table close to it.
Asher focused on the hearth, trying to look like the warmth was his only reason for being there, in case the trio close to him...
