Gathrid chased him a few hundred yards, then doubled back. The arsonist ran like all the imps of Hell were after him. The watcher drifted away for a moment, pacing in boredom. How to approach him? The detailed planning of the attack suggested that all exits would be watched. "How did it go?" this make-believe monk asked.
The Kimach Faulstich he deemed responsible for Gudermuth's destruction. He was Bilgoraj's King, Kimach Faulstich. Mulenex? Nieroda? Ahlert? Hildreth, trying to frame Mulenex? Or some local entrepreneur trying to obtain Daubendiek for his own use? Torun had an underworld replete with famous names. There had to be a way to trace the principal. Gathrid had to make a choice of pursuits. The bodyguards made it impossible for Gathrid to eavesdrop. But he won't risk his own people."Ī short time later the crime baron took to the streets. He'll keep trying till he succeeds, till you go broke or there's a shortage of blades. An arrow burred behind Gathrid's head and thunked into the inn wall. Gathrid raced down the alley, into a side street, then round front, where he found another arsonist at work. "You're becoming another Rogala," Aarant chided good-naturedly. He listened at the one window revealing a light. The animals fled from him without a whimper. The man led him to a small, neat house guarded by dogs. The Swordbearer didn't respond to the sleep spell." He chose the paymaster, reasoning that if another attack had been ordered it would find Rogala wakened and on guard.
