Servant of the Grey One ....
Message:I perceived it more as dragged into the sewers and tunnels under the city. Chained and beaten on the journey to the mines or, if lucky, to the vanguard to act as guard or reaver for the gray legion.
A hushed word or crossing an old acquaintance created an opportunity to escape. An act of compassion or a trusting when trust is not deserved. The keepers of the flame will know the secret and set the ledger straight.
Days in the offal and mud bogs waiting unsure of who to trust. The hardship of the Outlands would make this a holiday. Ever crawl to the light ... seek the sea.
A return to the oars without a mention of the ordeal ... none would care. None would be impressed. Next time, make the roll.
Yours,
IronConrad
