I swung my bow from my shoulder and mounted an arrow above the notch. I pulled back and released a streaking black arrow into the sky. The arrow zoomed downward and hit my target, an Am Fah assassin, in the chest. The poison began working immediately and his health began to deteriorate. I watched as he faught the poison away but soon he fell to the ground. My allies gathered around me to take on the larger group of Jade Brotherhood knights, now turning on us after the Am Fah fell. My allies charged and I held back to give support with my arrows. Soon, the knights were dead. We moved on and found a small outpost that was still in tact. We went in and met some of the people inside.1

“The two rivaling clans run the undercity, mate. There is little chance of surviving,” a tall man told us. The undercity was an area that previously was a magnificentely fun place to be.

This was my chance to kill him and end this horrible affliction once and for all. The tall man obviously noticed my excitement and put his hands on my shoulders. “Listen, man, you cannot beat him now!” He yelled, sending spittle flying into my face. Horribly confused, I wondered what had happened to this man in his life that scared him so.5
