2 resonate figuring Verb Noun UNKNOWN 3701 Jill's deep breath resonated like a growl and she turned, pulling free of the monk, staring hard at the tavern, at its stone foundation. So Elbryan stood back from it all, figuring it to be one of those dangers for the villagers to work out on their own.
3 barricade guarantee Noun Verb UNKNOWN B2 3702 Normally the goblins would have come in as a mob, a rushing horde, barreling past the trees and scrub, throwing themselves wildly against the pickets and barricades. His reentry would be guaranteed, but his position as a Preparer - though he had no idea that he would be offered such a position or even that there was such a thing - would be lost.
4 maraud syllable Gerund Noun UNKNOWN 3703 Often marauding goblins would send in a messenger before the attack to ask for surrender, to barter for a bribe, warning that battle would otherwise be joined. "Your mother has died, boy," he said slowly, accentuating each syllable.
5 nook sickness Noun UNKNOWN 3704 More images came rushing to her as soon as she sat in the nook of those pines. She lived on, in sickness, only to see me enter the Order of St.-Mere-Abelle.
6 glancing peacefully Adjective Adverb UNKNOWN 3705 A deft twist by the woman turned the sword out of harm's way, allowing Brother Justice merely a glancing hit that forced Jill back a step. That is the vision that allowed Annalisa Desbris to pass on peacefully from this world." Master Jojonah nodded, seeing the calm and logical reasoning, and at once impressed with, and frightened of, the depth of this young man's faith.
bounty Noun UNKNOWN 3706 It was more than any bounty, the ranger knew.
rowdy Noun UNKNOWN 3707 The dwarf was telling some rowdy story, the two goblins laughing riotously at every grotesque detail.
contort Verb UNKNOWN 3708 He opened his eyes in horror to see the demon's contorted features, flaming eyes closed as Bestesbulzibar concentrated, using his magic to scour the elf's brain.
brawl Noun UNKNOWN 3709 The ranger elbowed through the brawl, blocking punches whenever necessary, felling with three shortened blows yet another villager who tried to pounce upon him.
leveled Verb UNKNOWN 3710 Sliding down to one knee, Elbryan had Hawkwing up and leveled.
substance Noun UNKNOWN 3711 This man had been-poisoned, no doubt about it, but the poison was not based in any substance, in any herb or plant or any animal venom.
northwest Adjective UNKNOWN 3712 Diagonally, across the field to the northwest, moving through the stark lines of thinner trees, came three forms, obviously goblin scouts.
thief Noun UNKNOWN 3713 "I had little faith that a thief and murderer would be so honorable as to come to the aid of a friend," the voice went on.
adversary Noun UNKNOWN 3714 "I give you one more chance to leave," the monk offered, drawing a smile from his adversary.
outcropping Noun UNKNOWN 3715 Elbryan scrambled to get to the spot, saw the monk land heavily atop one rocky outcropping and then tumble right over it, a fifteen-foot plummet to bard stone.
tempt Verb UNKNOWN 3716 Elbryan, too, was tempted, would have loved to see Andur'Blough Inninness again, especially now, to bolster his resolve before he completed this all-important, perilous journey.
repay Verb UNKNOWN 3717 "So you shall repay me with your company," the ranger reasoned.

confidently Adverb UNKNOWN 3723 Maiyer Dek smiled confidently.
improvise Verb UNKNOWN 3724 Always ready to improvise, Elbryan eased his muscles and ran straight ahead into the dwarf, turning his staff to smash its tip into the dwarf's face once more.
unearthly Adjective UNKNOWN 3725 Bestesbulzibar's unearthly roar, one of pain and outrage, stole her breath.
gallop Noun UNKNOWN 3726 He kicked Symphony into a short gallop, rushing down the path.
machine Plural UNKNOWN 3727 Elbryan knew that, could hear it in the shriek of every bird, in the movements of squirrels, agitated by the presence of such numbers, by the thunder of a giant's step or the rolling war machines, by the croaks of powrie generals, the eager whines of bloodthirsty goblins.
repeat Noun UNKNOWN 3728 True to his word, the ranger did not repeat his message.
leafless Adjective UNKNOWN 3729 All the trees that had been on Aida's slopes were laid out flat, leafless, most of their branches blown away.
pitchfork Noun UNKNOWN 3730 Pony took one in the throat with the pitchfork.
hoofbeat Noun UNKNOWN 3731 A moment later came the thunder of hoofbeats to the east, many hoofbeats accompanied by the screams of those unfortunate goblins caught in front of the wild horse stampede.
avalanche Noun UNKNOWN 3732 Deadfalls, pit traps, and jaw traps stopped many; in one place a dropping pile of logs triggered a small avalanche of loose snow and rock.
stomp Gerund UNKNOWN 3733 His confidence mounted as a pair of giants stomped past, oblivious of him.
stupidly Adverb UNKNOWN 3734 The ranger had to be satisfied with that; he and the refugees were in no position to take on a prisoner, especially one as fierce and stupidly bold as that powrie.
safer Adjective UNKNOWN 3735 Dark, too, is the journey for those men and women I leave behind, who will continue the fight while ushering their more helpless kin to a safer place - if one can ever be found.
shawno Noun UNKNOWN 3736 The boy from End-o'-the-World, Shawno, had been of little help, but Elbryan remained convinced that it was indeed the Touel'alfar who had rescued that fleeing group from the monstrous hordes.
dulled Verb UNKNOWN 3737 Waves of pain assaulted the ranger with every slight shift, turned his stomach and dulled his vision.

prophecy Noun UNKNOWN 3739 "In prophecy?" Avelyn looked at him hard.
7 rustle offense Noun UNKNOWN 3740 3706 The diamond-shaped grove was eerily quiet, with no rustle of wind nor the call of any animal, of any night bird, to stir the still air. He bowed his head as soon as he realized that he had just spoken against a master's command, an offense that could lead to exile from the abbey.
8 dome testament Noun UNKNOWN 3741 3707 He moved slowly and carefully about the field, building domes of snow the size of his two cupped hands. His stubbornness held for many minutes, a testament to the young man's strong willpower.
9 extinguish cushiony Verb Noun UNKNOWN 3742 3708 The fire on that particular dwarf was indeed extinguished as a huge booted foot crushed the diminutive creature flat. He considered the gold leaf highlighting the carved hardwood of the room's support beams, the rich rug from some exotic land, the cushiony chairs, the many baubles and trinkets on his vast bookshelf, every one of them worth more gold than a common laborer would make in a year.
10 sanctuary trinket Noun UNKNOWN 3743 3709 The three trappers were at a loss; Brother Avelyn could think of no sanctuary closer than St. The sailors cared nothing for this all-important mission, Avelyn realized, beyond their payment of gold - and whatever other trinkets Father Abbot Markwart had included in the bargain.
11 rotted richly Verb Adverb UNKNOWN 3744 3710 Now his hit did indeed sting the zombie, the sword tearing a deep gash in the rotted flesh, smacking hard against a rib. Jojonah glanced around the room again, reminding himself that most of the other masters, even some of the tenth-year immaculates, had chambers more richly adorned.
12 patches adorn Noun Verb UNKNOWN 3745 3711 They continued on their way, struggling past broken stones and through patches of warm ash hip deep, hoping for some answer. Jojonah glanced around the room again, reminding himself that most of the other masters, even some of the tenth-year immaculates, had chambers more richly adorned.
13 mouse pragmatism Noun UNKNOWN 3746 3712 So it became a game of cat and mouse, and Avelyn was the mouse. But pragmatism, too, should be part of that pledge, so said Father Abbot Markwart, and so had declared the abbey's.
14 slush altogether Noun Adverb UNKNOWN 3747 3713 A drenching rain fell all about the region, turning the last of the snow to slush and softening the ground. Elbryan dismissed the notion altogether; he was on the eastern edge of the Moorlands by now, not so far from human settlements.
15 invading stool Adjective Noun UNKNOWN 3748 3714 While their lives certainly became more comfortable, their nights no longer spent so closely huddled to a fire that their eyebrows singed, winter's relaxed grip offered the invading monsters even more mobility. He went quietly to the service, then skipped his evening meal altogether and went right to his chamber, a five-foot-square cubicle with a single stool, which doubled as a table for Avelyn's candle, and a cot - little more than a flat board and a blanket - that folded down from one wall.
16 occupied farewell Adjective Noun UNKNOWN 3749 3715 Elbryan started to ponder that possibility, then noted the goblin's attention was occupied by something back along Elbryan's path. Would Annalisa come to say goodbye to her youngest child, or had she already said her farewells to Avelyn in the courtyard outside of St.-Mere-Abelle?
17 advancing leak Adjective Verb UNKNOWN 3750 3716 "The folk of Landsdown are on the road south ahead of the advancing monsters," Juraviel explained. He felt the first tears leaking from his eyes and tried to deny them.
thanks Noun UNKNOWN 3751 And to go with my thanks and the gratitude of all who survived the invasion." Paulson looked at Chipmunk, and the small man nodded nervously.
harness Noun UNKNOWN 3752 The first of the giants came into sight, bending low, pulling hard, a heavy harness strapped across its torso.
wedge PastTense UNKNOWN 3753 He was in a sitting position, wedged in tightly against the hard trunk.
18 unsteady deserving Adjective UNKNOWN 3754 3717 Summoning every ounce of his remaining strength, Elbryan managed to pull away from Pony, taking two unsteady steps toward Bradwarden, meaning to help with the door. The Abellican Church, the ancient scriptures, promised heaven to those deserving, and who could be more deserving than gentle and generous Annalisa Desbris?
19 gust generous Noun Adjective UNKNOWN 3755 3718 After the gust, the heat remained. The Abellican Church, the ancient scriptures, promised heaven to those deserving, and who could be more deserving than gentle and generous Annalisa Desbris?
20 cracking sniffle Noun UNKNOWN 3756 3719 He came forward in a rush, Tempest driving in hard and straight, striking hard; cracking through the black shell and diving into the monster's magma interior. Still the tears came; every so often his even tone was broken by a sniffle or a sob.
21 devour compose Verb UNKNOWN 3757 3720 Not a sound came from about the beast as, clothing and all, the dactyl devoured the torn skin of Gothra. Finally, after more than an hour, Avelyn composed himself and sat back on the cot, taking several deep breaths to fight away the last of the sobs.
22 scour splendor Gerund Noun UNKNOWN 3758 3721 Lower went the demon, and slower, turning tight circles, sharp eyes scouring the terrain, keen ears tuning to every sound. Avelyn tried to keep his head bowed, his eyes to the floor, as befitted his lowly station, but he couldn't help notice some of the splendors that surrounded him as he followed Master Jojonah through the winding corridors of the Abbot's Maze, the most private and revered place in all of St.-Mere-Abelle, and one that a first-year novice would certainly not expect to visit.
23 divert Verb UNKNOWN 3722 None of it diverted Avelyn's attention from the wonders of the place, though he did listen somewhat, fearing to miss any questions directed his way.
24 enwrap Gerund UNKNOWN 3723 Scenes of the Halo, the heavenly gift, enwrapping all the others, an oval because of the angle at which it was portrayed.
25 unfold Verb UNKNOWN 3724 And on the way, as Avelyn's eyes scanned, it seemed to him as if the history of the world, of the faith, unfolded to him, the images packed so that one led to another easily, with enough distinction so that each made an impact, however brief, like the flowing of time.
26 distinction Singular UNKNOWN 3725 Smealy as he had drowned the powrie, without distinction of the fact that the victim this time was not an evil dwarf but a human being.
27 explicit Adjective B2 3726 But his orders concerning Pimaninicuit had been explicit and unyielding: only those stones treated to retain their magic could be brought from the island.
28 blasphemous Adjective UNKNOWN 3727 For Avelyn, this was a most sacred mission, the most important duty of the Abellican Church, and to profane it so by indulging in a shipboard orgy, was surely blasphemous.
29 odor Noun UNKNOWN 3728 The room inside was well lit, though Avelyn saw no torches and didn't smell the usual odor of burning wood.
30 brilliantly Adverb UNKNOWN 3729 It filled every corner, every crack in every stone, and reflected brilliantly off the glass covers of the many cases set about the room, and off their contents, as well, hundreds and hundreds of polished stones.
31 pretense Noun UNKNOWN 3730 It was the end, the end of hope, of any pretense of godliness.
32 goodly Adverb UNKNOWN 3731 "The Ring Stones are the source of all goodly magic," Master Jojonah explained.
33 soil Noun UNKNOWN 3732 The upheaval was recent, that much was perfectly clear, for the soil on the torn side of the ridge was loose and deep brown, pocked here and there by a root, but with no fresh, aboveground growth.
34 ecstasy Noun UNKNOWN 3733 There was something most sacred, yet particularly unmysterious, and thus unholy, in all of this, a tingling of ecstasy combined with a slightly foul taste that Avelyn Desbris could not ignore.
35 arcing Adjective UNKNOWN 3734 Elbryan let fly a wide-arcing left hook as he spun back toward the elf.
36 sphere Noun UNKNOWN 3735 At first he thought them the borders of the known spheres, for he had heard theories of the universe as a series of overlapping, interlocking heavenly spheres, the invisible bubbles that held the layers of stars in place.
37 unlock Verb UNKNOWN 3736 Jill had never even heard of the magic stones before, let alone used one, but now she felt as if she could handle them fairly well, as if their secrets had been unlocked to her in the blink of an eye.
38 dense Adjective UNKNOWN 3737 It was heavier than Avelyn had expected, quite solid and dense.
39 due Adjective UNKNOWN 3738 "All in your due time," he said softly.
40 tile Noun UNKNOWN 3739 He marveled at the loose structure of the wood, at the density of the higher room's tile floor.

42 alien Noun UNKNOWN 3741 He talked of the humours of the body joining together with the alien humours of the stones to create the seemingly magical reaction.

45 instructor Noun UNKNOWN 3744 His evenings, to his surprise, were most often spent with Tuntun, for the female had been the primary instructor, and friend, of Mather, a man about whom Elbryan desperately wanted to learn more.
46 carrion Noun UNKNOWN 3745 CHAPTER 6 Carrion Birds She came back to consciousness never expecting to see the wide sky again.
47 lumber Noun UNKNOWN 3746 She followed it as if in a dream, gingerly reaching up to touch the piece of lumber that had fallen to partially block the hole.
48 listening Noun UNKNOWN 3747 She settled back and sat very still, listening intently, not even daring to breathe.
49 survivor Noun UNKNOWN 3748 But nothing else came to her - not the whimper of a survivor, not the whining, grating voice of a goblin, not the guttural grunts of the fomorian giants.
50 guttural Adjective UNKNOWN 3749 But nothing else came to her - not the whimper of a survivor, not the whining, grating voice of a goblin, not the guttural grunts of the fomorian giants.
51 serenity decidedly Noun Adverb UNKNOWN 3759 3750 It was a cruel lie: the quiet, the serenity, the spring breeze. They had no idea if that passage down below led anywhere, after all, and the eight-foot leap would be decidedly more difficult coming up the angled walkway.
52 jutting sunlight Adjective Noun UNKNOWN 3760 3751 He noted a movement up above, a dark shape coming atop the jutting rock. He found that he believed her, and he walked back out into the sunlight truly relieved, but not in the way that the others, particularly Quintall, could ever have guessed.
53 crackling thickly Adjective Adverb UNKNOWN 3761 3752 Pony's graphite defeated that maneuver, though, sent a crackling bolt of energy along the monster's inner thighs that left it swaying, legs widespread, as the woman worked her way out the back. Pony only saw a couple from this angle, a goblin and an older woman, but the stench of death hung as thickly in the air as the smoke from the fires.
54 fade preferable Verb Adjective UNKNOWN 3762 3753 Within a few minutes, each of these movements would cease, the lava gradually rolling over itself or gathering in a depression, and then quickly cooling, its glow fading to blackness. For the boy who had just witnessed such carnage and loss, the semiconscious state was preferable.
55 deafen tearing Verb Noun UNKNOWN 3763 3754 The dactyl's shriek echoed all through the tunnel maze of Aida, deafened the four friends, and made them reach for their ears. Elbryan jerked fiercely, once and then again, the tearing jolts straightening the agonized fomorian.
56 somber crushed Adjective C1 UNKNOWN 3764 3755 Squat towers anchored every turn in the wall; narrow windows showed that the place was built for somber reflection and defense. Goblins and powries scattered or were crushed beneath the charge, a hundred wild horses stampeding along the ravine.
57 wistful vulture Adjective Plural C1 UNKNOWN 3765 3756 Of alb the places in the area, only Elbryan's private grove was more beautiful than the pine vale and the caribou moss, and none elicited more wistful memories from the young woman.

58 trepidation circling Singular Adjective C1 UNKNOWN 3766 3757 His intrigue was fast shifting to trepidation now, as he got the distinct feeling that he had stumbled on to something potentially dangerous. Only the vultures, dozens and dozens, some circling overhead, most on the ground feasting, tearing at skin that had been warm to Pony's touch just the day before, pecking at eyes that had locked with her own, shared gaze and shared thought.
59 sullen peck Adjective Gerund C1 UNKNOWN 3767 3758 "Soggy and sullen," she said aloud, and nodded, thinking that a fitting description of all her life. Surely all the world had fallen to ruin; surely all the people were dead, were being pecked and torn by vultures.
60 scrutinize bedraggle Verb C1 UNKNOWN 3768 3759 Avelyn scrutinized the broach carefully. Jill was too bedraggled to blush or even to care.
61 favorite span Noun A2 UNKNOWN 3769 3760 Master Jojonah talked constantly, though he said nothing of interest - slight remarks about the weather, a storm that had hit twenty years before, the passing of his favorite baker in the town of St.-Mere-Abelle, a surprisingly off-color remark about the man's "lusty" wife. In the span of a few unbelievable minutes, Elbryan's entire world had been thrown down.
62 healthy unbelievable Adjective A2 UNKNOWN 3770 3761 Elbryan lifted Tempest with his healthy arm. In the span of a few unbelievable minutes, Elbryan's entire world had been thrown down.
63 people northernmost Noun A2 UNKNOWN 3771 3762 "In centuries past," he began solemnly, "our peoples were not so secluded. Even from this distance, fifty yards from the northernmost point of the village, Elbryan felt in his heart that no one could have survived such a disaster.
64 cook slack Noun A2 UNKNOWN 3772 3763 True to his words, Bradwarden allowed Elbryan to start a fire and cook his venison, while the centaur ate his portion, nearly a quarter of the deer, raw. His face ashen, his heart pounding - - but offering no energy to arms that hung slack at his side or to legs that seemed suddenly as if they each weighed a hundred pounds - the young man, feeling very much a little lost boy, walked home.
65 lucky threshold Adjective Noun A2 UNKNOWN 3773 3764 "Three shots at a time, and they're likely to get lucky," Avelyn remarked. On the charred threshold of one ruin, he saw a tiny corpse, a blackened ball.
66 examine carralee Verb Noun B1 UNKNOWN 3774 3765 With a sickening crackle of bone, the creature's head rotated completely around and bowed, examining the second imperfection of its form, a scarred lump under its lower left shoulder blade.

67 confuse timber Verb Noun B1 UNKNOWN 3775 3766 When the giant was within one huge stride, Elbryan leaped out, trying to confuse it with sheer savagery. He pushed aside a timber gingerly, when he heard the remaining roof groan in protest and went down to his knees, peering in.
68 humor spoon Noun B1 UNKNOWN 3776 3767 He came to know aspects of Dansally that his companions would never think to look former witty sense of humor, tenderness, and her regrettable resignation for her station in life. In her hand she clutched her heavy wooden spoon.
69 pretend defiant Verb Adjective B1 UNKNOWN 3777 3768 Tuntun pretended not to notice. Soothing sounds, and that made defiant Elbryan panic even more.
70 character fondness Noun B1 UNKNOWN 3778 3769 Tuntun was wrong, Juraviel knew without any doubt at all; this one had character. Tuntun had little fondness for the big, bumbling humans.

77 approve career Verb Noun B1 UNKNOWN 3785 3776 "You approve of my appearance," he concluded. He remembered Mather at the start of the legendary ranger's career, a bumbling boy no more adept and probably not even as resourceful as this Elbryan.
78 discuss adept Verb Adjective B1 UNKNOWN 3786 3777 "We have much to discuss," the monk said. He remembered Mather at the start of the legendary ranger's career, a bumbling boy no more adept and probably not even as resourceful as this Elbryan.
79 achieve nag Verb B1 UNKNOWN 3787 3778 The greatest gift of the elves was this harmony the man had achieved, this joining of two philosophies, of two ways of looking at the world, of two ways to do battle. Then another thought nagged at the young man, a notion that he had heard this song before, though he could not place it..
80 disturb fairy Verb Noun B1 UNKNOWN 3788 3779 Elbryan walked along without speaking a word, as if fearing to disturb the stillness, for not a hint of a breeze came in through that wall of pines.

81 complex circular Adjective B1 UNKNOWN 3789 3780 To their dismay, this tunnel complex proved no less a maze than the higher passageways, and most of these corridors seemed to be leading further down and not up. It was fairly circular, perhaps eight feet in diameter.
82 advance dancer Verb Noun B1 UNKNOWN 3790 3781 The humanoids could indeed advance, and the ranger had to wonder if all the men of Honce-the-Bear could even slow them. But this - " She held her hand out to the revelry, to the half-naked dancer who, as if on cue, tumbled from the table.
83 attach distaste Verb Noun B1 UNKNOWN 3791 3782 As if some wire were attached to its back, the zombie stood suddenly, moving straight up without use of its hands, without bending its legs. Avelyn scrunched his face with distaste and disbelief.
84 gradual coarse Adjective UNKNOWN 3792 3783 It didn't seem such a momentous thing, just a gradual stirring in a deep cave in a far, empty mountain.

85 twitching candidate Noun UNKNOWN 3793 3784 The dactyl could feel its blood, hot blood, coursing through its wings and mighty legs, could feel the twitching of its mighty muscles.
