Chapter 2: The Perfect Storm
Amorette cocks her head, a reptilian habit she’d observed in the other kobalds. She noticed the man noticing her, and gave an internal cheer that here, at least, was someone useful.
She looks away and walks casually up to the group of prisoners. As though muttering to herself, she speaks just loud enough for him to hear. “Even a stone, though a dull instrument, in the hands of an artist, can work wonders.” She fingers her dagger under her cloak, then casts her illusion, making the sharp edges appear smooth and round- a simple rock.
As though continuing her patrol, she strolls past him, dropping the knife next to his feet. “Do not overlook it.”
With some time left to her disguise , she tries to gather any additional information she can about the kobalds’ plans without drawing too much attention to herself.
