1. Attack of the Pirates

T was much like any other day in Quentaris—

glib vendors hawking their dubious wares, the

cries and squeals of excited children, the vowel-

chewing growls of the City Watch as they tried to

keep impossible order, the pervasive reek of day-

old fish intermingled with the cloying aroma of

freshly cut flowers and frying sweetmeats, and

apprentice cutpurses running from victims.

And strange things were happening in the rift

caves far above the city.

In an old almost forgotten religion, it was the

year of the Warlord, the month of the Witch and

the day of ... the Donkey. What this meant was

anyone's guess, but according to a few of the

market soothsayers, it was a day to be reckoned

with. After all, warlords made war, witches cast

vile spells ... and donkeys, well, they kicked the

unwary.

Rad de La'rel crouched behind a parapet high

above the marketplace. This was his usual spot for

the night vigil. There were dozens of watchers

like himself, all keeping the city safe against in-

vading armies such as the pirates.

He was early as usual —there was no better

way to learn the art of thievery than to watch

the shadowy members of the Thieves' Guild go

about their artful business in the market below.

Almost more than anything in the world, Rad

wished he were one of them. A cutpurse here, a

stall thief there — Rad watched in fascination as

Guild members deftly relieved their victims of

valuables.
