Tales of the Jewel

Ali was dressed once more in his finest linens, freshly cleaned. He was freshly shaved. He wore a little token from the guard. He even wore some sort of scent; something smoky with just a hint of something floral to soften it. All in all, doing his best to appear presentable, official, and not at al...

It was an ugly business. Ali loosed arrow after arrow, hoping to land one in the creature. The Khadi loosed arrow after arrow back. One after another thunked into him, until he could stand no more. Grimacing, he fell to his knees, eyes blazing. And then, the light in them dimmed, and he fell in the ...

So no Medicine rolls even, right? Ok, that sounds dangerous. Another question then - could Faruq stat around to provide medicine checks for others before going on to compete himself? Possibly asking to go last so he can try to provide some help for others or something like that - especially as I ha...

"A pond outside your room?" Ali's eyes went up, and he took a deep breath. "That sounds very nice indeed." His eyes went distant as he imagined it...

After a moment, his eyebrows went up. "Hmmm. It's pleasant. Refreshing, I might say. It has a more mild, earthy taste than coffee." He...

He was no stranger to injury or suffering, but in a large city like this one, the reference to spreading disease was enough to give even a stout heart pause. "I'll, ah, go see about passing out some food." Cl...

"Yes, well," Ali grimaced. "I take this part of my job seriously. In quite a different way than some others take it seriously."

He gave a (serious) nod. "And you as well, sir." With that, he continued on his way.

(/scene, and thank you!)

"Mmm." Ali murmured, smiling. He leaned a little closer, his voice dropping lower. "But only we will know what it really means when I call you that." He lingered a moment longer before smiling down at the cat. "She does look rather comfortable, doesn't she?" He chewed his lip a moment, then looked b...
