The patas sank so deeply that it didn't take long for him to feel the slick of blood under his hands. Ruttin' whore. Damn her for making him do this.
Osric stood but a fulm away from a beautiful dark-haired hyuran woman, dressed in silks most sultry. Her fine, painted hand was up above his head, now weakly clutching a dagger that would never come down. It wasn't long before her grip loosened and it dropped to the wooden floor with a clatter. Red drops dotted the area around it.
They were alone in an inn room out in the Golden Bazaar, and only one of them would leave it. He knew she had lured him there to kill him. He knew she expected him to have the weakness of any other man. It was true that he did, but Osric placed a far higher priority on survival than on a cheap night with a strange woman. Living meant many more opportunities for that, after all.
The Midlander wrenched the patas from her and watched her crumple to the floor without his support. "You brought this on yourself." There was no answer but a whimpered gasp as a pool of red spread from beneath her.Â
Gods damn, that would be a mess to clean.
