Chapitre 240: Servant of the Axe - Burned Face

Chapter Type: Conflict (versus society)

I screamed like a wild animal thrown in the bonfire.  Those of you paying attention already know, all of my uses per day of Boil, Boil were already expended.

I took all twelve of that fire damage, as the new skin under my scales buckled and blistered and leaked puss.  I rolled away, to extinguish the fires in my clothing that hadn't ignited.

I came up with my shield to block… nothing.  She was gone, as though she had never existed.

"How the seven hells?" I asked.

The maido were all screaming and wailing, presumably at each other.  I doubt any of us understood them.

Kismet had a new curved shortsword, of the type the Daurians prefer for indoor use.  Madonna had a new crossbow, also in evidence.  Gamilla had some kind of weird double-bent-blade spear thingie.

Was I the only one without new weapons?  How had THAT happened?
