Struth's past

by Dahlia Di Mare

* Mal pulled out his bow and aimed it at the man and told him to let Mary go. Tyrian came out of his hiding spot to come closer to help flank the man. I also moved closer, pulling out my twin rapiers. The man looked between all of us and mainly at the weapons that we aimed at him.
 
* Suddenly, Struth appeared in the clearing, bound and chained. The man laughed and lifted his staff, "There he is at last." He then cast a lightning spell and cast a chain of lightening at Struth. He hit Struth multiple times and Struth dropped where he stood. I knew this was not the real Struth and must have been the work of Petros.
 
* The man let Mary go and pushed her to the ground. I beckoned for her to come over to me. She came across and thanked me for saving her.
 
* Tyrian went to grabble the man but found his hands went through. Staring in disbelief, we then heard laughter from somewhere on our right side. Looking in the direction of the laughter, I could see the silhouette of the man and also a child. Looking to my side, Mary was no longer there. Looking back, the man then jumped into the hole next to him. It was identical to the one near us, which just had more water slides. He then popped up from the hole near us with Mary. He looked around and realised what had happened then said, "Oh shit!" I laughed out loud as his face clearly conveyed that had not been his intention.
 
* The real Struth took the opportunity to shoot an arrow and him then moved back into his hiding place. The man smiled, "Ahh.. there is my nemesis!" then cast a spell. A cloud of smoke appeared behind Struth and then embraced him. I could hear him begin to cough.
 
* Mal turned and pointed his arrow straight to the man's back and let his arrow go. He quickly loaded and continued to shoot until he dropped dead. Mary ran over once she was free and hugged Mal. "Thank you for rescuing me!"
 
* I asked her why she would allow herself to be kidnapped knowing that she really was not what she appeared to be. She simply said that she wanted to be reduced by Mal. She then kissed him on the hand.
 
* Asking Struth about the guy, he couldn't really give us much except that he was from his past and there was something about a debt. I asked Mary if the man had told her anything. She said that there was a deal with the Elder Brotherhood that had gone wrong, the man then owed a lot of money and he held Struth solely responsible for this.
 
* After some brief chat, it was decided to make camp here as it was late and to then continue heading to Mal's tavern. We still had to pick up the dwarves along the way
