The Children of the Warp, Skaven Civil War. A Shard In Your Pocket & A Word In Your Ear – Pawed by Vang Three Claws: The three cloaked figures waddled down the block stone passageway. They were short wiry figures and smelled of fungus beer. Night Goblins, to be sure… and they were long overdue. They tittered back and forth to one another in their high pitched voices, unaware of the danger that lurked only strides away. Suddenly the lead figure pitched forward, smacking the floor face first with a resounding thud. The two trailing night goblins nearly fell over laughing at their comrade. Before they realized what was happening, each of the pair felt a hand grab their hair through their hoods. Their forward momentum snapped their heads back and a sharp blade was pressed to each of their necks. The pair froze in place, their mirth cut short. The prostrate gobbo tried desparately to free itself from the trip wire wrapped around its ankles when a third shadowy figure dropped down infront of it and pressed the blade of a short sword to the gobbo’s chest. The night goblin ceased his struggles, knowing that if his assailants had wanted to kill him he would already be dead. “You-you’re late Ssskazz,” rasped a voice from the shadows ahead. A wave of relief washed over the night goblin trapped in the trip wire. “Git ya gakking monkeys offa me and cut me loose,” hissed the Night Goblin Big Boss. The two standing night goblins were released and the two Skaven Adepts behind them took a step back. The Adept in front of Skazz cut the bonds around his ankles with a flick of the short-bladed sword and also stepped back. The Night Goblin Boss picked himself up from the ground, wiping blood from his face and wiggling his nose back and forth with an audible crack, crack… crack, crack. “Ya broke my ruddy nose ‘gain, ya wyrdstone lickin’ rat,” growled Skazz. The Night Goblin bit back the rest of his tirade when he saw the black-cloaked form of the Eshin Assassin slide from the shadows a few paces in front of him. Skazz always found Sclaw unnerving, but the assassin’s skill and reputation had grown much since Skazz had last dealt with Sclaw. Skazz could find only one word suitable for the assassin and his triad – death. Before him stood cold, hard, unfeeling death. “You-you are much-lucky my adeptsss let you live-live. If I hadn’t sssmell-smelled you-you a junction away, you-you would be dead-dead,” spat Sclaw. Sclaw gave the threat a few moments to sink through the gobbo’s thick skull before continuing. “Now-now, you-you have what my massster ssseeksss?” The Night Goblin drew a hefty pouch from beneath is robes and tossed it towards the assassin. Sclaw caught it neatly in one paw, opened the bag, and looked inside. The assassin’s gaze was greeted by a neat pile of warpstone. The assassin picked out a small lump of warpstone and tossed it back to Skazz. “For you-your nossse. You-you may go-go,” announced Sclaw. Skazz shoved the lump of rock up his nose with a grunt. With any luck it would staunch the bleeding from his right nostril. The night gobbos turned to go and found the passage behind them clear. The pair of adepts that had been behind them were already gone. Sclaws voice rung out once more. “Oh, Ssskazz, don’t forget to tell-tell you-your Warbosss that the time-time hasss come-come. Vang Three Clawsss callsss.” Skazz turned to respond, but the assassin and his adepts were already gone. The three night goblins were once again alone in the passageway.

wow thats sweet, i really like the dialects you've got going, it really helps show the cultural diferences between the two races, my only concern is that the nigh goblin and the assassins names are pretty similar, heck i can't remember which one is which now lol. but it doesn't matter, as the way they speak made sure i knew who was saying what |

Thanks for the feedback Cazgar. As for the character names the similarity is regrettable, but only one of the characters is mine. Sclaw is a long-standing character in my Skaven fiction who I've developed over time. Skazz was created by and belongs to another person. There was a need for the two characters meet in our story lines, and what you see above is the result. I'm glad to hear that the story line and dialogue keeps them easily separated even if the names are confusing. Cheers, V. |
