CHAPTER 24 - BECAUSE I KNOW THINGS

The campfire players fought briefly. They fought valiantly. And then they died.

Most fell to arrows and the flaming orbs. But two others left the trees with swords and soon butchered the last, wounded stragglers. Blake kept entirely still.

“Mikkel, I gotta tell ya, those fireballs are getting badass.”

The attackers were laughing now, joking amongst themselves. Blake listened carefully for names, classes, personality details, any information he could use for Mental Influence.

“It was mostly my arrows that did the actual killing,” said another of the murderers, sounding vaguely offended. Blake noted the voice, pleased to hear the tone because it sounded like a genuine chip on the man’s shoulder. “Not my fault it’s not as flashy,” he added.

“Ha. Whatever, B-dog, I’m just glad you boys did most of the work. Dead is dead is dead, am I right?”

“Shut up and check the bodies,” said another, and Blake focused on him. The leader, he expected, official or otherwise. “Hey, you civilians!” shouted the same voice. “Get your asses over here or we’ll march you to a wolf den.”

“Gotta go, kid,” Hank whispered, and Blake gave him a nod. “Good luck.”

“Ohh we’ve got another woman.” Apparently they’d found Big Nose. “Shit look at that face. Well, she’s got a nice body.”

“Paper bag for sure,” said another voice, and the group all laughed.

“Sebastian will take her anyway.”

“Yeah but the more he’s got the more leftovers for us. It’ll work out. Now keep it down.”

The civilians came back from their scattered positions around the campfire, eyes cast down and faces pale.

“I’m Paul. You’re coming with us to our settlement,” said the now confirmed leader of the group. “You’ll get work and housing, food and safety. We’ll protect you. You’re part of Nassau now.”

Blake practically snorted at the name. Nassau (on top of still being a place) was a famous old pirate port in the Bahamas. Apparently these idiots thought themselves bandit kings.

The killers were checking the corpses now, and Blake had run out of time. He put his hands in the air and stood.

A young, silent man who stood next to ‘Paul’ leaned over and whispered in the man’s ear. His eyes instantly turned to Blake, and he raised his sword.

“You’re not a civilian. Get on your knees. Now. You idiots, are there any more of them?”

Blake focused on Paul, and sent a giant blast of mental energy with a single purpose: Greed.

“I have information. And I’ll be useful to your leader.” He put a little shake in his voice to sound afraid. “He’ll want to see me.”

Paul snorted, and his men laughed. “That so? So go ahead and tell me. I’ll decide.”

Blake shook his head.

“He’ll want to hear it alone. But you’ll be rewarded. I can guarantee it.”

Paul laughed like it was the dumbest thing he’d ever heard, but there was curiosity in his eyes.

“Guarantee, is it? You don’t know my chief. Check him for weapons.”

The other sword-wielding player grabbed Blake roughly and soon found Rajesh’s sword lying at his feet.
