Monkey Moon, Part 4

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 73324

A sacred, half-muttered incantation fell from Fred’s frosted lips as he ceremoniously raised his sword above his head, then plunged it deep into the defiled woman’s heart - putting a swift end to her long endured misery. A brief and final cry of agony escaped her, followed by an untempered silence, shattered only by the knight’s labored breath and the cackling of the torch-fire lining the walls. This callous act was not done without forbearance, however. Lord Fred was a man of honor, and the damsel had been tainted with vile reptilian seed, which still oozed from her defiled orifices. Ridding her of her lowly mortal existence was the ultimate act of purification. She had died as honorable a death as could be expected in her condition. Still, the steel of Fred’s sword had been stained with the blood of an innocent for the first time in his career, and it was no small thing.

The act being done, Fred took a moment to regain his better wits. He removed a canteen from his pouch and took a swig of the liquor, feeling the warmth course through his veins. That being done, his next course of action, he decided, was to:

  1. Search the corpses of the dead, then burn them.
  2. Remove the venom glands of the lizard-man. When mixed with one of the many potions Fred had acquired from Duke Zular, it could be turned into a potent medicine.
  3. Move on as quickly as possible through one of the adjoining passageways.
