Did the mayor shoot a catapult at where the 9th person stands?
Onul stormed to newly elected mayor's quarters and shouted, trying to overvoice the creepy sounds produced by engravers brigade - they were smoothing walls of his new office:
- Onol!!! Do you clearly remember WHO made you a mayor? If didn't put my - and my guys also - voices for you, you'd still was useless animal caretaker!
- O-of c-course I remember that, Onul... - stuttered mayor, confused by such a sudden ambush. - But what's the matter?
- Someone's saying that that death are your work... Not that I believe them, but.. in case you forgot... - Onul put his fist with steel axe handle tightly squezed in it closely to mayor's face.. - They are saying that you shot a catapult to that guy's usual position.
- No, no, Onul! How can you think that?! we're friends, and I would never do anything againist you! And after all, we have NO catapults!
Onul looked confused.. - No catapults? Hell, I ordered them built almos a year ago! Sorry, Onol, those deaths drive me mad...
The commander has a title, which is awarded upon the fifth kill. Did he kill those recruits because he hates potash? Did he kill those recruits at all?
While Onul tried to calm his nerves down with a good cup of prickle berry wine, a child passed by and asked with innocent face;
- Unkle Onul! Did you kill those soldiers? You don't like potash?
Onul spilled a half of his cup on his beard and stared at child:
- WHAAAAT?
Child quickly retreated and hid behind his mom's back. Onul sighed and took another cup, pretending he doesn't notice the silence covered whole dining hall.
Are there titan/FB/HFS contaminants on the ninth guy's equipment?
Onul formed his squad in the line and stared at them. That hole at 9th position looked like missing tooth in the mouth. Fighters stood still and quiet, but were definitely worried - why did he took them out of their sparrings.
Onul made a pause and asked:
- Guys. Do you remember those terrifying beasts that we met in caverns? Did someone touched their bodies?
Udil Hailtools, the Creative Crystal of Straps, Speardwarf answered:
- You mean Nunlod the water blob, Amas the eyeless nuthatch, and Nebin the pterosaur? If you remember, we deal with them in a single blow, so they didn't make their breathing attacks. And we were very careful with their remains...
Onul listened, nodding - he was the first who cut the head of the Nebin - but said:
- Anyway, I need to check your armor and stuff, just to be sure.
After long checking he found nothing unusual on their armor - rain drops, goblin blood from last siege...
Udil said:
- So, our equipment is ok, right? But armor that was wearing that guy was brought to the stockpile... Maybe we should check it there?
Onul imagined the huge halls with bins of stuff lined along walls and groaned:
- Oh no...
