2 becoming stooping Noun Adjective UNKNOWN 3701 2 It was true enough; Avelyn's incredible dedication was fast becoming the talk of St.-Mere-Abelle. Tol moved closer to the stooping ranger as he spoke.
3 overt farmhouse Adjective Noun UNKNOWN 3702 2 It was no secret that Siherton favored Quintall among this most important class, but the man's overt insult of Avelyn, the choice of every other master - and reportedly of Father Abbot Markwart as well - surprised him. A black bear had attacked a farmhouse and that alone was enough of a mystery to force the ranger to investigate.
4 amiss vent Noun Gerund UNKNOWN 3703 2 Jojonah looked back at the courtyard, to Avelyn at work as always as though nothing was amiss. The beast had run off from the farmhouse, creating a swath of devastation through the brush, even knocking over small trees, venting a rage that the ranger had never before witnessed in an animal.
5 macabre foamy Adjective UNKNOWN 3704 2 He tried to keep a mental note of his macabre collection, tried to match it against the people of Dundalis by sorting their names house by house. Three men lay about on piled skins, black bear mostly, drinking foamy beer from old mugs.
6 despise raccoon Verb Noun UNKNOWN 3705 2 "I despise his inhumanity," replied Siherton. If that was the case, then Elbryan would have his work cut out from him indeed, hunting almost day and night for other infected animals, everything from raccoons and weasels to bats.
7 inhumanity foam Noun UNKNOWN 3706 2 Was it, as Siherton insisted, the young man's apparent inhumanity? No foam; the ranger breathed a sigh of relief.
8 smug sappy Adjective UNKNOWN 3707 2 That smug look by the ranger spurred the proud Quintall into a charge. Elbryan recognized the black, sappy poison, a pain - inducing product of a rare black birch tree.
9 stairwell camouflage Noun UNKNOWN 3708 2 Jill looked straight ahead as she made for the door to the stairwell that would get her down to her room. Slowly Brother Justice closed, using bodies as camouflage.
10 figuring stealthily Noun Adverb UNKNOWN 3709 2 So Elbryan stood back from it all, figuring it to be one of those dangers for the villagers to work out on their own. Then, fearful that they would be too late, the pair split, left and right, and moved quickly and stealthily right up to the edge of the cavern entrance.
11 guarantee vat Verb Noun B2 UNKNOWN 3710 2 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. In a vat not far from the back wall of the shack, the ranger found a thick concoction of black liquid, and quickly surmised it to be the same irritant poison that had been used on the bear.
12 syllable concoction Noun Singular UNKNOWN 3711 2 The syllables came clear to him, though they joined into words he could not understand, distant melodic sounds he somehow recognized as part of the earth itself. In a vat not far from the back wall of the shack, the ranger found a thick concoction of black liquid, and quickly surmised it to be the same irritant poison that had been used on the bear.
13 sickness restrain Noun Verb UNKNOWN 3712 2 She lived on, in sickness, only to see me enter the Order of St.-Mere-Abelle. Again the monk restrained his feeling of outrage that this man - this simple, pitiful, wretched merchant could speak of Father Abbot Markwart as if he were the man's equal.
14 peacefully stout Adverb Adjective UNKNOWN 3713 2 That is the vision that allowed Annalisa Desbris to pass on peacefully from this world." Jill regarded the short, stout man curiously.
15 offense letch Noun UNKNOWN 3714 2 Elbryan smiled wryly at Bradwarden before the fearsome centaur could take offense. But he was a letch, a drooling, grabby slob, who took it personally when Jill refused his advances.
16 testament revert Noun Verb UNKNOWN 3715 2 Was Avelyn, perhaps, a higher standard, a shadowy mirror, held up before all the monks of St.-Mere-Abelle, a testament of true faith that seemed so rare in these times, even in the holy abbey? Even his strict rules for duty had relaxed within the week, Pireth Tulme reverting to its typical partying ways.
17 cushiony hangover Noun UNKNOWN 3716 2 When the tittering pair finally left, Jill was sitting on the edge of the great cushiony bed, wearing only a simple silk nightgown that was too low cut, both front and back, and didn't go nearly far enough down her legs. She collected ten of Pireth Tulme's Coastpoint Guards, using their hangovers as a tool for rejecting more of the others, then set out, double-timing the march down the dirt path.
18 trinket foothold Noun UNKNOWN 3717 2 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. He ran hard to the side, then leaped up atop a rounded boulder, gaining a foothold and turning back in a quick charge to meet the rushing monster.
19 richly barter Adverb Verb UNKNOWN 3718 2 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. 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.
20 adorn hah Verb Noun UNKNOWN 3719 2 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. "Hah!" the huge man bellowed.
21 pragmatism foolhardiness Noun UNKNOWN 3720 2 Tol bowed his head, his face contorting as he struggled, pragmatism against conscience. But sheer terror, sheer instinct, and an unselfishness that bordered on foolhardiness, allowed for nothing less.
22 altogether fete Adverb Noun UNKNOWN 3721 2 Elbryan dismissed the notion altogether; he was on the eastern edge of the Moorlands by now, not so far from human settlements. Jill watched him for a fete moments, honestly intrigued.
23 stool encroachment Noun UNKNOWN 3722 2 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. But then, in perhaps the worst torture of all' to the valiant Touel'alfar, Juraviel felt the encroachment, felt the dark and cold presence of Bestesbulzibar creeping into his thoughts, scouring his mind.
24 farewell sheath Noun UNKNOWN 3723 2 Suspicious, but wise enough to keep his mouth shut, Avelyn bid farewell to Adjonas and the others - though not a man aboard the Windrunner regretted the departure of the three monks - and went ashore. He slid Tempest into its sheath, looped Hawkwing over his back, then climbed up, offering his hand to Pony.
25 leak hound Verb Noun UNKNOWN 3724 2 He felt the first tears leaking from his eyes and tried to deny them. Jill sighed deeply every time she considered the man who had called himself the hound of ill omen.
26 deserving weep Adjective Verb UNKNOWN 3725 2 The Abellican Church, the ancient scriptures, promised heaven to those deserving, and who could be more deserving than gentle and generous Annalisa Desbris? She moved to the door to see the friar shuffling down the muddy lane, weeping and crying out for the "sins of men" and the woeful state of preparation.
27 generous diatribe Adjective Noun UNKNOWN 3726 2 The bartender nodded, smiling, and gave his precious Cat - he still called her that - a generous and warm hug. Jill did go out one night, while Avelyn went down into the common room of the inn they had chosen, spouting his diatribes.
28 sniffle inconspicuous Noun Adjective UNKNOWN 3727 2 Still the tears came; every so often his even tone was broken by a sniffle or a sob. Master Jojonah looked down from an inconspicuous balcony at the large chamber, bare of any furnishing but for a few practice riggings sitting against the far wall.
29 compose occasionally Verb Adverb UNKNOWN B2 3728 2 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. He uttered a chant repeatedly, using it to bolster his failing strength, and De'Unnero, the new master who had taken Siherton's place, stalked about him, occasionally stinging him with a riding crop.
30 splendor immaculate Noun Verb UNKNOWN 3729 2 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. Behind Quintall stood a tenth-year immaculate.
31 divert plat Verb UNKNOWN 3730 2 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. Bradwarden's heavy bow, swung as a club, rang off the plated armor, splintering as it hit.
32 enwrap underling Gerund Noun UNKNOWN 3731 2 Scenes of the Halo, the heavenly gift, enwrapping all the others, an oval because of the angle at which it was portrayed. Among the three evil races, none had earned any reputation of loyalty or honor, but now, with the bracers, the dactyl could hold faith that its four chosen generals would survive the not unexpected treachery of their underlings.
33 unfold rightfully Verb Adverb UNKNOWN 3732 2 Elbryan's brow furrowed as he considered the words, as their implications began to unfold before him. "One whose title as Brother Justice is fair and true, and who carries the punishment rightfully earned by the outlaw monk you name as your companion?"
34 distinction renegade Singular Noun UNKNOWN 3733 2 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. And he did not desire to leave behind any legacy of failure=including the existence of the renegade Avelyn.
35 explicit isolate Adjective Verb B2 3734 2 But his orders concerning Pimaninicuit had been explicit and unyielding: only those stones treated to retain their magic could be brought from the island. Their fear isolates them, and they often cannot distinguish friend from foe.
36 blasphemous equate Adjective Verb UNKNOWN 3735 2 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. And, in the end, it is a sense of accomplishment, of purpose, and not the wealth attained by such accomplishment, that equates to fulfillment and happiness.
37 odor seeking Noun UNKNOWN B2 3736 2 The room inside was well lit, though Avelyn saw no torches and didn't smell the usual odor of burning wood. He used all his training, all his tools, focusing his senses one at a time in each direction, on every plant and every animal, seeking some hint of the source.
38 brilliantly dumbfoundedly Adverb UNKNOWN 3737 2 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. The demon stared dumbfoundedly at the dusty cloud, at Avelyn, as if to ask what the man had done, and again, Avelyn had no answers.
39 pretense ears Noun Verb UNKNOWN 3738 2 It was the end, the end of hope, of any pretense of godliness. "Two more ears!" Cric laughed, but Paulson wasn't thinking along those lines just then.
40 goodly disarming Adverb Adjective UNKNOWN 3739 2 That last question echoed in Elbryan's mind, sounding ridiculous, for what manner of goodly force could so torture a body at rest? "Ah, me little human laddie," Bradwarden said with that disarming smile, though it surely seemed condescending coming from so far on high, "Ye'd not be wanting me to give up me secrets, now would ye?
41 soil rousing Noun Adjective UNKNOWN 3740 2 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. On they charged, Bradwarden singing a rousing song and Chipmunk forcing away his tears, locking them behind a wall of sheer anger.
42 ecstasy naught Noun UNKNOWN 3741 2 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. But fruits and berries are naught but ticklings.
43 arcing droppings Adjective Verb UNKNOWN 3742 2 Elbryan let fly a wide-arcing left hook as he spun back toward the elf. A hoofprint or me droppings?
44 sphere bearded Noun Adjective UNKNOWN 3743 2 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. Bradwarden laughed riotously, then hoisted a huge skin and poured an amber-colored liquid - Elbryan recognized it as boggle - into his mouth, a considerable amount splashing over his bearded face.
45 unlock sly Verb Adjective UNKNOWN 3744 2 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. And," he paused and offered a sly wink, "don't ye fear, for I'm not overly fond o' human flesh."
46 dense differ Adjective Verb UNKNOWN B2 3745 2 It was heavier than Avelyn had expected, quite solid and dense. In Pireth Tulme, even the winter was one long gray sheet of clouds and cold rain, differing from the summer only in terms of temperature.
47 due kinship Adjective Noun UNKNOWN 3746 2 Avelyn was outnumbered five to one - and those odds were only due to the fact that three other men were fighting on his side, or at least, against the mob that was moving against the monk. Pony went to him, loving him all the more, feeling a true kinship with the man, feeling a great deal of pity, as well.
48 tile parapet Noun UNKNOWN 3747 2 Elbryan tried hard to get past his monk friend, then, to take up the lead and close tile distance to the monster. Jill dodged easily, then kicked out behind the flying weapon, just nicking the powrie on the back but solidly enough so the overbalanced dwarf fell from the parapet eight feet to the ground below.
49 snake crotch Noun UNKNOWN 3748 2 From up here: St.-Mere-Abelle appeared as a thick and stretched snake, winding its way along the top of the sea cliff. Gothra stared down at the line of blood running from forehead to crotch, then looked back at the demon.
50 alien sheathed Noun UNKNOWN 3749 2 He talked of the humours of the body joining together with the alien humours of the stones to create the seemingly magical reaction. Jill sheathed her sword instead, pulled her belt off, and leaped out from the wall, beyond the climbing dwarf.
51 seemingly havoc Adverb Noun UNKNOWN 3750 2 Pony and Chipmunk continued their wild ride, weaving about the pines, cutting sharp corners, Pony's sword flashing, Chipmurk's seemingly endless stream of daggers spinning out. If she could get across the deck to the stern catapult or more particularly, to the cauldrons of pitch and the firepit near the catapult, then she might be able to cause more than a little havoc.
52 induce jabbing Infinitive Adjective UNKNOWN 3751 2 Elbryan recognized the black, sappy poison, a pain - inducing product of a rare black birch tree. With a howl, it finally let go, scrambling about to evade the jabbing dagger.
53 instructor mischief Noun UNKNOWN 3752 2 For the first time since they had entered the room, there was no reverence in Master Jojonah's voice, just the dry lecturing tone of an instructor. She turned to the catapult, its arm low and ready to fire, then looked at the vats of burning pitch, wondering what mischief she might cause.
54 carrion capstan Noun UNKNOWN 3753 2 She heard the cawing of the birds - carrion birds, she knew. She kicked over the pitch barrels, spilling one onto the capstan that held the anchor line and knocking another down the stairs to the lower main deck.
55 lumber conspicuous Noun Adjective UNKNOWN 3754 2 The monsters' take of lumber would not have been useful; the spruce and pines were too short for catapults, too wet and sappy for wood fires, and too pliable for any construction. She tried to straighten her still-damp clothes, but realized that she would be conspicuous indeed to any, walking as she was without boots, and without the dirtied, calloused feet of a peasant woman.
56 listening stories Noun Verb UNKNOWN 3755 2 She settled back and sat very still, listening intently, not even daring to breathe. The man rambled on and on, telling mostly stories of his dealings with the various monasteries of Honce-the-Bear, even with St.
57 survivor precede Noun Verb UNKNOWN B2 3756 2 Into the night, the four survivors went, stumbling blindly, separated, two and two, with a third of their party dead. Perhaps word of the disaster had preceded her.
58 guttural foaming Adjective UNKNOWN 3757 2 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. One of the goblins brought out a bulging waterskin, and as soon as the creature poured some of the foaming liquid into a mug, Elbryan knew that it held some potent drink indeed.
59 decidedly estimate Adverb Noun UNKNOWN B2 3758 2 The beam lifted an inch and shifted to the side, but Pony could not maintain its weight and it came down heavily, with a decidedly final thud. Estimates of the enemy force ranged from a thousand warriors to a thousand ships full of warriors.
60 sunlight swig Noun UNKNOWN 3759 2 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. He reached into a pocket of his robe and produced a small flask, popping the top and sucking a huge swig.
61 thickly confide Adverb Verb UNKNOWN 3760 2 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. He told Jill much - more than he would have ever believed he could confide - holding back only the specifics of the Ring Stones, the secret island, the method and fatal result of his escape, and the fact that he carried with him a stolen cache of powerful magic.
62 preferable oppose Adjective Verb UNKNOWN B2 3761 2 For the boy who had just witnessed such carnage and loss, the semiconscious state was preferable. In these general rows, as opposed to the occasions when all in the bar teamed up against the monk, Avelyn more than held his ground.
63 tearing holler Noun Gerund UNKNOWN 3762 2 Elbryan jerked fiercely, once and then again, the tearing jolts straightening the agonized fomorian. The huge bear of a man tossed his attackers with ease, punched and twisted deftly, hollering "Ho, ho, what!" every time he felled another.
64 crushed wheeze Adjective Gerund UNKNOWN 3763 2 Goblins and powries scattered or were crushed beneath the charge, a hundred wild horses stampeding along the ravine. The giant was indeed closing for the kill, lifting its deadly weapon, when an arrow thudded hard into its back, turning its evil laughter into a sudden wheeze.
65 vulture sheepishly Plural Adverb UNKNOWN 3764 2 Surely all the world had fallen to ruin; surely all the people were dead, were being pecked and torn by vultures. He was sitting upright now, smiling sheepishly, the cloud of pain and death gone from his plump features.
66 circling complicate Adjective Verb UNKNOWN 3765 2 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. Up here, Jill was Cat-the-Stray again, a younger girl in a world less complicated, with feelings less confusing.
67 feast garnet Gerund Noun UNKNOWN 3766 2 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. They gave him but two stones: a smooth yellow-hued sunstone and a cabochon garnet, a carbuncle, the deepest shade of red.
68 peck mare Gerund Noun UNKNOWN 3767 2 Surely all the world had fallen to ruin; surely all the people were dead, were being pecked and torn by vultures. Pony came riding in then on a roan mare, one of several wild horses that would allow themselves to be ridden.
69 bedraggle efficiently Verb Adverb UNKNOWN B2 3768 2 Jill was too bedraggled to blush or even to care. Paulson stepped inside the range and caught the spear by the shaft and rushed up its length, quickly and efficiently embedding his sword deep in the creature's chest.
70 span pitfall Noun UNKNOWN 3769 2 In the span of a few unbelievable minutes, Elbryan's entire world had been thrown down. Brother Justice knew the pitfalls, though.
71 unbelievable gwendolyn Adjective Noun UNKNOWN 3770 2 In the span of a few unbelievable minutes, Elbryan's entire world had been thrown down. Gwendolyn of the Sea since the fight," the bartender of the tavern added.
72 northernmost assortment Noun Singular UNKNOWN 3771 2 Finally they got behind the back wall of the northernmost house in the village, just beneath the forested slope. If the demon sets its army to block us, then so we shall be blocked, and not my sword, nor Avelyn's magic, not Bradwarden's strength, nor your own assortment of weapons, will possibly get us through so many swarming monsters.
73 slack jester Noun UNKNOWN 3772 2 - 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. Brother Justice's first thought was that Avelyn had hired on with this obviously wealthy merchant, perhaps to perform some necessary feat with the stones, perhaps merely as a court jester.
74 threshold yelp Noun UNKNOWN 3773 2 On the charred threshold of one ruin, he saw a tiny corpse, a blackened ball. The dog's legs splayed wide; it gave one yelp, then lay still, its back broken, its lungs collapsing.
75 carralee foyer Noun UNKNOWN 3774 2 Carralee Ault, Pony's cousin, Elbryan realized, for she was the only baby in town. The man pointed toward a door across the foyer.
76 timber corn Noun Gerund UNKNOWN 3775 2 He pushed aside a timber gingerly, when he heard the remaining roof groan in protest and went down to his knees, peering in. He had crossed the Moorlands, corning from the west.
77 spoon jamb Noun UNKNOWN 3776 2 In her hand she clutched her heavy wooden spoon. He kicked again and again, repeatedly slamming the lock, until finally, the wood of the jamb gave way, the door flying wide to reveal a portly man, richly dressed, standing behind a large oaken desk, a loaded crossbow in hand.
78 defiant fugitive Adjective Noun UNKNOWN 3777 2 Soothing sounds, and that made defiant Elbryan panic even more. Likely, the man was in no way connected to Avelyn, but still the fugitive monk remained concerned.
79 fondness familiarity Noun UNKNOWN 3778 2 Tuntun had little fondness for the big, bumbling humans. That air alone brought to the young woman familiarity, a crispness that she had not known in the city of Palmaris nor in Pireth Tulme, where the dull and damp fog seemed eternal.
80 bumbling garner Noun Verb UNKNOWN 3779 2 Tuntun had little fondness for the big, bumbling humans. Obviously he had dealt with Markwart - where else would he have garnered so powerful a stone?
81 spade accomplish Noun Verb UNKNOWN B2 3780 2 He put his sword in his belt, found a spade; and began to dig. Many things could be accomplished with such a stone.
82 scope infinite Noun Adjective UNKNOWN 3781 2 He found Thomas Ault and several other men next, and only then did the already weary youngster realize the scope of his task. It seemed as if an hour went by, but then as if only a second had passed; what appeared as an infinite plain was crossed by a single step.
83 suffice collide Verb UNKNOWN 3782 2 That would have to suffice. So many times he thought he would collide with jags of stone only to watch them rush under him at the last possible second.
84 underneath ant Adjective Noun UNKNOWN 3783 2 So he ran on, hauling bodies, peeking under rubble, kicking aside piles of dead goblins to see who might be underneath. Below him, massed like ants, were the campsites of armies.
85 stamen monstrosity Noun UNKNOWN 3784 2 Even Tuntun was impressed by his stamina. But that spectacle couldn't hold Brother Justice's attention for any length of time, not with this huge monstrosity leering at him from on high.
86 career redemption Noun Singular UNKNOWN 3785 2 The name would have to be correct, for this bow would be the epitome of his crafting, Joycenevial determined, the highest achievement in a career so often marked by perfection. The man had passed the point of redemption and had perhaps awakened a dangerous curiosity in the demon.
87 adept feeble Adjective UNKNOWN 3786 2 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. The monk drove the feeble merchant to his knees and held fast long after the struggling stopped, long after the merchant's arms fell slack at his sides.
