Vaid cursed his luck. It was going so well until...
He nearly fainted, his vision blackening for a moment. It took him several seconds to collect his bearings. Trusting the city guard to figure it out, he went ahead with the rest of his plan halfheartedly. He shouted for the guard, and quickly stumbled away behind cover to watch.
Vaid had waited a moment in darkness and watched as a lone man approached. Not the city guard, he frowned, but someone else. Vaid picked him out almost immediately as he drew closer. Who else would be so well muscled and armored to the hilt? Or was Vaid hallucinating? Maybe it was a side-effect from the poison. Fiznak? Light! What was he doing here? The borderlander must have been out looking for him, Vaid frowned as he Fiznak stoop and investigate the bodies. The large man stood and swept his eyes around the streets and buildings.
Vaid watched and wondered what to do. It was then that Vaid saw movement. Perhaps a full dozen armored men were approaching rapidly from a side street, bearing flaring torches. Fiznak had stepped inside the building, Vaid realized, he must be investigating the scene of the crime, and hadn't noticed their approach.
Now what? he wondered. Vaid's head hurt and his mouth felt dry. Light but he was thirsty!
