Through the torchlight, he examined the library at which they were barking. He motioned for the archers above him to aim at the door just as a man, dressed in a soldier's tunic, bounded out in a panicked state. It was foolhardy (for a spy), he thought, as a rain of arrows descended. Surprisingly, the spy made it to a side gate. With a hand over a deep wound, the spy exited to the outer courtyard. Unfortunately, the Beastmaster was playing with his lions in the outer courtyard and before the Beastmaster could exact control, the lions, driven by the scent of blood, had torn the spy to shreds. Moral: Spies and hounds don't mix. [Let's keep those spies away, ok?] =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Yvengi is a louse! =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= "if you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.
