Turning from the railing, the hawk-nosed man called for his lieutenant and told him that they were going to follow the ship that carried the heroes. In return, Dalzhel saluted his captain, then barked a string of orders to the sole survivors of the Zhentish fleet from Scardale.
Earlier that day, when Cyric saw the strange vortex form above the city, he had ordered the crew to take the Argent out into the Dragon Reach, away from the battling avatars. The ship and its crew survived thanks to that command. Cyric knew that his men’s gratitude would serve him well in the days to come.
The thief stared out at the blood-red sun setting over Faerun. He thought of his former allies and all that Sabinus had told him about Kelemvor’s threats and Adon’s comments. For once, the hawk-nosed man thought sourly, the fighter and the cleric were right.
Cyric had decided days ago that when next he met Midnight and her allies, he would offer them no mercy if they dared to stand in his way.
