Nartholan stepped back slightly as a woman bumped into (Aquintis). [i]Wait... not just any woman...[/i] Her face struck him as familiar, no doubt he had seen her before; somewhere. He knew from an earlier briefing that there would be a number of familiar faces. Obviously that held true here.

Accepting the ring, he waited until the strangely familiar woman had walked away before looking at one of the oddly colored dragonflies. "And how much for this?" he asked, pointing at it. He had to blend in as part of his job, but this was one of the fruits of his occupation; he had never seen a butterfly like that before. He also knew that he had to do... something. Something to disrupt the festivities.

He hated to have to call up the rather barbaric dezinions of Talinth, but it was part of the job. [i]Come on over, Mardolg... we've got a party to bust.[/i]

Mardolg happily feasted on suspiciously colored and shaped bones in one of the many half-ruined Talinth fortresses when Nartholan's call came. [i]Now? In my meal?[/i]

Couldn't be helped. Ah well. He pointed his sword in the direction of two other mean looking demon knights and pointed at a portal to the side of a crumbling wall. He would be there soon. In the meantime, he had to finish this meal. He started eating the bones themselves...

Near the back of the party, a little ways from Aquintis's booth, appeared two [url=http://th07.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/f/2014/108/a/d/chaos_knight_by_yenin-d7eyrus.jpg]demonic soldiers[/url], with weapons drawn and the will to create chaos. They began to advance on the back of the booth just to the left of Aquintis's, slightly visible from the corner of the eyes of anyone who happened to look in that direction.
