38 decree upstart Noun UNKNOWN 2837 4 3 It was a strange decree, one that caught Avelyn so much by surprise that he hardly noticed Quintall had openly proclaimed the name of the island. He had not battled Tuntun in many weeks; he was determined now to give the upstart elf a bit of a surprise.
39 mutiny overhand Noun UNKNOWN 2838 4 3 Quintall realized that shooting the desperate man in front of the crew would likely cause a mutiny.

52 succumb intimacy Verb Noun UNKNOWN 2851 4 3 The blackness will not fall complete until the last free human spirit has succumbed. The issue of physical intimacy did not come up between them during those weeks, for both of them had found a more special intimacy, far more satisfying.

57 extraordinary bound Adjective Noun B2 2856 4 3 It was vespers, so few were about to observe the master and the guard, bearing his extraordinary burden, as they made their way to the abbey roof overlooking All Saints Bay.
