>Speaking to you, Dannah asks, "So are we hunting living or what?"
>You say, "I'll let Kaladriel decide."
>You say, "He's from the... evil... group."
You say, "So he doesn't hunt undead a lot."
>Kaladriel acts puzzled.
>Kaladriel asks, "Evil?"
You mutter council.
You mutter evil.
>Dannah stares off into space.
>Dannah exclaims, "Shh!"
You say, "Dark assassins will not kill me in the Voln courtyard." This turned out to be true...
You say, "Maybe if I step out."
You say, "But not here."
You grin.
Dannah chuckles.
>
You hear a chilling voice whisper in your ear, "Continue to test our patience, and we will certainly see our commitment to silencing your flapping tongue."
>Dannah stands up
>You say, "I heard that."
You ask, "You think I'm afraid?"
>You say, "Lord Voln will protect me."
You remove a polished steel claidhmore with a leather-wrapped hilt from in your back sheath.
>You suddenly sense you've made a grave mistake.
You exclaim, "Come on out Assassins!"
You ask, "Are you prepared to meet your maker?"
Head to TC

>Myiera says, "I have seen people taunt the assassin for hours with no luck."
You say, "I don't believe one could harm me."This turned out to be... wrong

>Ambrei asks, "You were talking about the lord of the toilet?"
>Dannah asks, "Lord of the toilet?"
Ambrei exclaims, "Ive heard him called a poohbah, but its more like poo, Bah!"the assassin should have killed her too
About ten minutes goes by
>go door[Pawnshop, Interior]
Stark wooden floorboards creak under the weight of stacks of bundled weapons and leather. Perched atop the tall bundles is a halfling clerk who looks none too eager to help you. In a place of honor on the wall opposite the door is a portrait of Sniffberry, the pawnshop proprietor. You also see a packing crate.
Obvious exits: out
Your head snaps back suddenly as a hand clamps over your mouth and pulls you backwards. Three slashes across your throat cut short any attempt to scream.
... 175 points of damage!
Incredible slash to your neck!
Throat and vocal cords destroyed!
Zero chance of survival.
The air about you stops shimmering.
The buzz of thoughts in your mind subsides.
The bright luminescence fades from around you.
The silvery luminescence fades from around you.
You no longer feel so dextrous.
The air calms down around you.
The glowing specks of energy surrounding you suddenly shoot off in all directions, then quickly fade away.
The brilliant luminescence fades from around you.
You feel the aura of confidence leave you.
You feel your extra strength departing.
You become solid again.
You feel the inner strength leave you.
You return to normal color.
The light blue glow leaves you.
It seems you have died, my friend. Although you cannot do anything, you are keenly aware of what is going on around you...
You mentally give a sigh of relief as you remember that the Goddess Lorminstra owes you a favor.
...departing in 14 mins...
You struggle briefly, but you collapse and fall to the ground as your strength fails. You barely make out the shadowy figure looming above you as your vision blurs and your senses grow dim. You can still hear the words cold and clear before everything goes dark,
" That is a high price to learn the value of silence."
Everything goes dark and the last thing you hear are faint footsteps and a sinister laughter fading away.

All in all a lot of fun. I hope they start killing a lot more people for talking about CoL, you know without actually having to pester them to get them to kill you. Now with death penalties coming back it will actually mean something to die and hopefully people will watch their tongue in game.
