Story 48                        Breaking Rocks                 Told By Taniwha

~~~~~~~~~~~ Kheldar staggered in a few days back looking like hell. ~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Covered in grit and greenish ichor. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~ He stood at the bar and matched Armageddon drink for drink for about  ~~~
~~~~ 10 minutes before he staggered over to a table and started chuckling ~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~ over his latest aquisition, a scroll of some sort. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~ All he'd say was that getting the scroll took all his skills and ~~~~~~
~~~ that he was damn glad that the place was inside 'cos he'd been noticed ~~~
~~~~~~~ the second time when he'd had to come back with another set of ~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ lockpicks. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
