31 recent maple Adjective Noun UNKNOWN A2 2130 6 4 Inevitably, though, that led Elbryan to thoughts of mortality and thus to the recent fate of his family and friends.

32 condescending hideous Adjective UNKNOWN A2 2131 6 4 Cat-the-Stray bit her lip, not liking his condescending tone. The fomorian charged ahead with a tremendous, hideous howl, its cudgel going high.

37 plunge sprint Verb UNKNOWN A2 2136 6 4 It was always cold; the boy didn't know why he even bothered testing it each morning before plunging in. Carefully placing the basket at last at the trough, the boy then sprinted full out the half mile back to the bog.
38 pretty receive Adjective Verb UNKNOWN A2 2137 6 4 To his credit, Elbryan had pretty much learned to ignore them.

39 bob lowly Verb Adjective UNKNOWN A2 2138 6 4 Parting one patch of reeds, the boy found his first stone of the day, bobbing low in the water. Grady saw himself as above that lowly station, Cat understood.
40 pip express Verb Adjective UNKNOWN A2 2139 6 4 The elves would set out a grand table, steaming stew and venison, sometimes roasted game fowl, and piping hot tea that warmed the boy from his head to his cold toes. But to take humans to Andur'Blough Inninness without the express permission of Lady Dasslerond was indeed a stretch of the Lady's compassion, and Juraviel was not certain that the troop wouldn't simply be turned away; perhaps the paths into the misty valley would be altered and hidden even from Juraviel.
41 chide hopelessness Verb Noun UNKNOWN A2 2140 6 4 "What, only one this night?" Grady chided. And Quintall knew the demon read his every thought, that his hopelessness only made the creature something more.
42 flare lifting Verb Noun UNKNOWN A2 2141 6 4 Elbryan winced as the fire flared to life, as if expecting all the minions of the dactyl to descend upon him. Perhaps that last Oracle in Andur'Blough Inninness was no more than a lifting of the veil.

52 boisterous twig Adjective Noun UNKNOWN A2 2151 6 4 A dozen men and women were in the common room, boisterous until the stranger entered.

53 pinch correctly PastTense Adverb UNKNOWN A2 2152 6 4 Connor brought his hand to it and pinched it hard. He turned a corner within a triangle of tight pines, expecting correctly that the zombie would be there.
54 ale store Noun UNKNOWN A2 2153 6 4 Jill sifted through the crowd to get to the bar, started to order a mug of ale, but then realized she had no money. Avelyn could not discern the purpose of the magic, except to note that there was a tremendous amount of energy stored within those crystals.
55 crisp fortunately Adjective Adverb UNKNOWN A2 2154 6 4 Jill had known this air, so crisp and so clean, in her youth, in this place; and images of that past life flitted past the edges of her consciousness now, brief glimpses of what had once been.

56 distastefully limp Adverb Adjective UNKNOWN A2 2155 6 4 She shook her head distastefully as she walked her watch this night, as she did every night. He looked much better, seeming his old bouncy self, except for a slight limp.

60 squeal crossing Verb Noun UNKNOWN A2 2159 6 4 The goblin squealed but hardly slowed, even when Chipmunk's next blade stuck deep into its shoulder. By all appearances, the man was impressive - tall and straight, mustache and goatee neatly trimmed, his red-trimmed blue overcoat tailored straight and proper, black leather baldric crossing right shoulder to left hip and sporting an impressive sword, a family heirloom.

64 caravel stepping Noun UNKNOWN B1 2163 6 4 The Windrunner veered hard to port, sails filling and pushing the square-rigged caravel on with tremendous speed.

65 tuck hanging Verb Noun UNKNOWN B1 2164 6 4 In a barely noticeable movement, the ranger pulled the feathered tip from the bow, tucking it and the bowstring into his belt. All the gang was quiet, hanging on Elbryan's every word.
66 payment cloth Noun UNKNOWN B1 2165 6 4 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.

The bond had been particularly strong with Annalisa, a humble and spiritual woman, who had encouraged her youngest child to follow the path of God from his earliest recollections.
68 taffrail fur Noun UNKNOWN B1 2167 6 4 Now at the taffrail the four monks and Captain Adjonas watched the powries' progress. Along one wall stood a gigantic statue, fifteen feet or more, dressed in a heavy leather jacket, trimmed in fur and set with spiked metal plates and heavy iron rings.
69 closing priest Adjective Noun UNKNOWN B1 2168 6 4 The giant reacted quickly, snapping straight and tall, closing its legs to entrap the foolish human. Precious and thus the third ranking priest in the entire Abellican Church, had performed the ceremony himself!

71 sprite seriously Singular Adverb UNKNOWN B1 2170 6 4 Yes, it as Nightbird more than anything else that had the sprite riding hard through the forest night. The Order of St.-Mere-Abelle took its physical training seriously; perhaps Avelyn was expected to defend himself against such tactics.
72 flip importance Verb Noun UNKNOWN B1 2171 6 4 Elbryan brought his staff back in, letting go with his left hand, flipping with his right to send the forward tip under. Dosey interrupted, his tales only for an occasional belch; so lost was he in his own sense of importance that he hardly bothered to gauge the monk's reaction.
73 odds total Noun UNKNOWN B1 2172 6 4 Avelyn's blast did much to even the odds, leaving only two giants and a score of powries against Elbryan's thirty. The hunting party of twelve had carried with them more than half the total real weapons of the hundred folk of Dundalis.
74 exaggerate grateful Verb Adjective B2 B1 2173 6 4 To the child Elbryan, this had been the place of wildly exaggerated fireside tales. He was indeed grateful for the kind and optimistic words, and felt better, much better, about his loss to Tallareyish.

76 personally thigh Adverb Noun UNKNOWN B1 2175 6 4 On those first few occasions, Connor took the rejection personally, as a slight, despite Jill's proclamations otherwise. The young man settled on the edge of his cot, head bowed, hands resting on his sore thighs.
77 surrender injured Verb Adjective UNKNOWN B1 2176 6 4 The dwarf caught the gem securely, but surrendered his hold on the ladder. Elbryan looked her over carefully, satisfied that she, was not injured, only muddy and weary from so long a ride.
78 presume flint Verb Noun UNKNOWN B1 2177 6 4 Suddenly this holy place, this place he had presumed prepared by the Touel'alfar themselves, seemed to him no sanctuary at all. Avelyn rolled off the cot and fumbled with his flint and steel, finally getting the candle lit.
79 satisfaction content Singular Noun UNKNOWN B1 2178 6 4 It is, I believe, the difference between physical satisfaction and true lovemaking, the difference between release and passion. His dreams were not content, though, not with the prospects of a magic-wielding assassin nearby.
80 veil regularly Verb Adverb UNKNOWN B1 2179 6 4 Many implications came to him then, as if the fog veiling one of the mysteries of elven life had suddenly lifted. He had been coming into Caer'alfar regularly since the turn of the year, and now the elves hardly gave him a thought as he walked in.
81 flap prepared Gerund Adjective UNKNOWN B1 2180 6 4 Soon Jill's hands were flapping inconsequentially at the powrie's barrel-like torso, her strength fast deserting her. Jojonah launched into a rushed explanation, more the regurgitation of a prepared speech than anything spontaneous.
82 backhand tent Noun UNKNOWN B1 2181 6 4 The powrie came across with a backhand slash, but Avelyn managed to duck beneath it. All the valley was filled with tents and campfires; a thousand, thousand forms milled about down below, most seeming about goblin.
83 fruit addition Noun Singular UNKNOWN B1 2182 6 4 To keep them out now, with land so close and inviting - land likely covered with fruit trees and other luxuries they had not known on the open sea - was foolhardy indeed. Despite the addition of the pit, the path appeared almost exactly the same as it had on all of his previous returns.
84 dragon security Noun UNKNOWN B1 2183 6 4 There could be only one answer, for no living creature, not even one of the great dragons of the north, could so tear this amount of ground in such an even, tidy manner. There was security in that, Avelyn came to realize, but also responsibility.
85 mask plot Noun UNKNOWN B1 2184 6 4 For Jill, her face was a mask of paint and false smiles. Avelyn folded his hands and bowed his head, closed his eyes and began to plot his defense for the next time he and Quintall were paired.
86 handmaiden tax Noun Verb UNKNOWN B1 2185 6 4 The night was chill for late August and the room drafty, but the handmaidens had lit a small fire in the hearth. It was not a difficult enchantment, actually; and one that powerful Avelyn could maintain with the focused sunstone for h very long time without severely taxing his energies for other magics.
87 unable central Adjective Noun UNKNOWN B1 2186 6 4 The ranger rocked back on his heels, unable to find even the words to ask the obvious questions. The central stone of the broach was a hematite, as he had suspected, an oval of liquid gray, deep and smooth.
88 relent frozen Verb Noun UNKNOWN B1 2187 6 4 And Connor would not relent, prodding and pushing. Jojonah held the diamond close to Avelyn, and the young monk felt its warmth flowing into his aching, frozen form.
89 attacker painfully Noun Adverb UNKNOWN B1 2188 6 4 The would be attacker skidded to an abrupt stop, recognizing the man. The next arrow razored painfully across the back of his neck, drawing a line of bright blood.

92 cautiously talent Adverb Noun UNKNOWN B1 2191 6 4 Pellimar reached the drifting boat first, pulling himself cautiously up its slick, rounded side. I will use the stones and all my talents, and all my body in whatever course you set.
93 wail jagged Noun Adjective UNKNOWN B1 2192 6 4 The dwarf lifted its sword, grinning evilly, and let out a wail that shook Avelyn to the marrow of his bones :as he lay prone not far away. The leg had splintered in the fall; Cat could see the jagged edge of a bone poking through the skin.
94 increasingly religious Adverb Adjective UNKNOWN B1 2193 6 4 Perhaps it was the boredom, the heat, or the tasteless provisions, but the crew grew increasingly uneasy, even hostile. From his lessons, years of religious training, years of his masters imparting the fears of that which opposed their God.
95 blame intend Verb B2 B1 2194 6 4 The crew were blaming the monks for their discomfort, for this whole journey. He forgot all about his game of surprising the pair then, and used his stealth ability to extract himself from the area, return to his tree house - which was closer to the ground than the sky - to shave and to prepare himself for his next sparring session, one he suddenly intended to win.
96 outline conclude Noun Verb UNKNOWN B1 2195 6 4 Under the light of a half moon, he saw the outline of the Windrunner gliding out into the bay. He studied the bow as he walked, and concluded at once that this was not formed of the darkfern such as he had cut, but from a smaller plant.
97 spine shy Noun Adjective UNKNOWN B1 2196 6 4 A shudder coursed down Avelyn's spine. For her part, Cat kept her distance, offering a shy smile once or twice but mostly looking the other way.
98 regret pressure Verb Gerund UNKNOWN B1 2197 6 4 Now, finally, Avelyn could face his destiny with no regrets for the path that had led him to this place. Again, he was more than polite, the perfect gentleman, not pressuring Cat to even so much as offer a greeting to him.
99 philosophy pleasant Noun Adjective UNKNOWN B1 2198 6 4 Elbryan's lessons had turned more toward philosophy during the fall and winter of God's Year 821 to 822, and he had learned that even the simplest questions carried, many layers of subtle meanings. Jill went to bed that night full of warm feelings, some pleasant, others too intense, too uncomfortable for her to understand.
100 cavalry marriage Noun UNKNOWN B1 2199 6 4 Out from the gaps in the line came the next surprise, a goblin cavalry, the diminutive creatures astride shaggy ponies. The reaction of Pettibwa and Graevis to the news of the marriage was not hard to predict.
101 commander coin Noun UNKNOWN B1 2200 6 4 Perhaps he was trying to be the levelheaded commander, but to Jill, it came off as condescending. Avelyn did, too, noting the piles of coins and gems and jewelry, such a treasure as he had never before seen.
