>>5359000The Infiltrator coughs and sputters for a moment, then simply answers: “A human… Must have been tracking me for some time. Saw him in Port Verda—the main trading-stop, between elven lands and human ones… Thought nothing of it, but he followed me when I left town…”
“Describe him,” you command, hurriedly, fearful that this Infiltrator might yet perish before giving you further information—he wounds seem mortal, his body trembles with agony and injury.
“Male… Human… Green armour… Paladin, I think… Sword that glowed green when he pointed it at me…”
The feeling in your gut turns to a curdling, twisting sensation, as you remember a vision, granted to you by the Master of the Insightful Eye in prayerful meditation many nights prior. It was a vision of a human in green, knightly armour, artfully decorated with images of dragons in life… And in death. The armour of a dragonslayer… And beneath the armour’s face-concealing helm, the diadem he looted from the corpse of your mother.
The Green Knight. The Last True Heir of the Yosefs. Your fated enemy.
He knows of your people. He draws nearer. He is making moves, even as you busy yourself with conquering ancestral lands. He is no mere destination to be eventually reached—he is destiny, on the march.
The male in your arms is drawing difficult breath now. Blood has joined the bile and water trickling from his mouth. You consider administering a healing potion… But, being sensible, you cast your bag aside before diving in, so automatically that it does not even occur to you that you did so until you reach for it and find it absent. Your allies are no doubt seeking you out even now, but there is little time.
What do you ask the dying Reptilian?
>Ask him to describe the abilities and equipment of the Green Knight>Ask him if the Green Knight said anything that might reveal his plans for your people>Ask him if the Green Knight was alone, or who was with him>Ask him if the Green Knight invoked any particular god>Ask him nothing—offer comfort, pray with him, and let him find his rest in peace>Write-in[Choose only one]
