Subject     Knife of Dracart: A coincidence

Not far from Neraka
in a what from outside looks like a simple cave, a
short figure sits in the
shadows, unseen. Gnash sits there his eyes closed,
listening to other goblinoids
passing by. A rusty bronze dagger rests in his
lap, his hands constantly move
around the blade, oiling it with poison. As
Gnash finishes he carefully sheathes
the dagger, making sure he does not
scratch himself with it. Suddenly his eyes
flash open, two red dots in the
shadow. "Time to hunt" the goblin
mutters.

An
hour later Gnash waits in an ambush with two Hobgoblins on a valley
between
Sanction and Neraka. There had not been too much of travel in these
days. Not
many travelers moved in bands small enough that the goblinkind
would dare to
attack. "Thank you, my Lord" Gnash mutters as he sees a lone
human riding as
fast as he can through the valley, towards them. Three
crossbows rise. One rider
falls from horseback impaled by three bolts. Gnash
waves his hand "Go check if
he has anything of value" he mutters to the
other hobgoblin with a rasping
voice. A moment passes, then the hobgoblin
cries "Tis one from Dragonarmy and
only has message, notting valuable!". So
a messenger, Gnash thinks to himself.
"Come and show me the message" he
shouts. The hobgoblin arrives and hands
the message to Gnash, who ignores
the seal of the Highlord and opens the letter.
He reads it and stops to
think. Suddenly in a flash of violence, he draws his
poisoned daggers and
slams them into the chests of the hobgoblins. This was to
be his secret. So
the dragonarmies had lost a knife of Dracart, what ever it
wasBut according
to Highlord of Dragonarmy it was very valuable. The knights of
Solamnia were
also mentioned several times in the letter, so most likely the
knife was
somewhere in
Solamnia.

Some
hours later Gnash boards into a ship headed towards Palanthas. He knows
that his
kind are not looked well on in Palanthas, so it was good that the
smugglers were
not going to use the official harbor, but a one of their own.

of Dracart:"For I will have vengeance"

Darkness, just plain darkness.
And a grand, pounding pain in his head.
Growling quietly Gnash opens his eyes.
"That cursed knight!" he mutters as
he events before the black out come back
to his dizzy head. The last thing
he can properly remember is the silvery hilt
of the sword striking him right
between the eyes. The goblin glances around his
surroundings and nods
slowly. The place seems familiar. It is a dark night, but
his heat sensing
eyes need not such thing as light. Light.that stirs something
in the back of
his head. Suddenly he curses aloud and jumps to all fours on the
ground,
intensely searching for something. Realizing that he will not find what
he
is looking for a terrifying expression of rage crosses his face and he
howls
with a horrible sound that can be heard miles away:"It's
GONE!
GOOOOONEEEEEEE!". then he continues quietly "That knight shall pay,
and he
shall pay for long and pray for death. Yes he will pay"

For without
knowing what he did the knight of Solamnia, Kael Encuintras, who
had knocked
Gnash unconscious, took the note Gnash had captured from the
Dragonarmy courier.
The heart of the lantern the knight took had not held a
candle, but the letter
covering details about the missing Knife of Dracart.
Sitting back to calm down
Gnash thinks about where the knight might be
headed for. "I need the damn note
and my superiors take my head for losing
such thing" he thinks "And I want
my vengeance too" For a while the goblin
just sits there and ponders about
different possibilities. Finally he
decides that the knight was most likely
heading for Sanction or Neraka.
Standing up, he starts to stumble back the road
he had come from before this
unfortunate collision with the knight. As Gnash
walks away his last words
still seem hang on air itself: "By the name of my
Lord Morgion, I will have
revenge up on this foolish knight or I will die
trying"
