   ;Is the boy prepared with the sigils拭─Gromph asked。
   He was answered by a faint clang of metal and the sound of scurrying steps that finally slid to a halt。
   ;Yes察Archmage察─Jaemas Xorlarrin replied。
   Gromph stepped close to one of the bound dark elves。 All ten of them were cousins´the wicked sons of House Agrach Dyrr and traitors to Menzoberranzan every last one。 Gromph had asked for the youngest察the strongest察the ablest of them to be spared。
   ;Dyrr察─the archmage said察doing his best to fix his sightless eyes on the captive's face。
   The prisoner squirmed a little at the sound of his family's name。 Gromph wondered if the boy felt the shame his traitorous House had inflicted on every last one of his kin。
   ;I 。 。 。; the prisoner muttered。 ;I know why I'm here察Baenre。 You can do your worst to me察and I will not betray my House。;
   Gromph laughed。 It felt good。 He hadn't had a good laugh in a long time察and with the siege of Menzoberranzan only digging in察with no word of Lolth or break in her Silence察he didn't think he'd be laughing much in the days察tendays察months察or even years ahead。
   ;Thank you察─the archmage said to the boy。 He caught the edge of the captive's confused察surprised expression as Kyorli began again to worry at her itchy hip。 ;I don't care what you might have to say about your doomed House。 You will answer only one question 。 。 。 what is that sigil拭
   There was a silence Gromph took as confusion。
   ;The sign察─the archmage said察letting impatience sound in his voice。 ;The sigil my young nephew is holding up in front of you。;
   As ordered察Prath had taken up a position some yards away察against the wall of the giant chamber察and was holding up a small placard maybe six inches on each side。 Painted onto its surface was a simple察easily recognizable rune´one any drow would recognize as marking a way to shelter察a place of safety in the wilds of the Underdark。
   ;I could pel you to read it察fool察─the archmage drawled into the prisoner's hesitation。 ;Tell me what it is察and let us move on。;
   ;It's 。 。 。; the captive said察squinting。 ;Is it the symbol of Lolth拭
   Gromph sighed and said察 Almost。;
   The archmage mentally nudged the rat on his shoulder and turned her head to see Zillak wrap a thin wire garrote around the prisoner's neck。 When blood began to ooze from under the wire and spittle sprinkled from his mouth察Kyorli paid closer attention。 Gromph waited for the prisoner to stop struggling察then die察before he stepped to the next traitor。
   ;I won't read it ─that one barked察the fear ing off him in waves。 ;What is this拭
   Gromph察aggravated at the waste of time a spell of pulsion would take察tipped his head to the Xorlarrin mage who still stood right behind him and asked察 What color拭
   ;A garish magenta察Archmage察─Jaemas answered。
   ;Well察─Gromph replied察 that won't do at all察will it拭
   That was enough for Zillak察who slipped the garrote察still dripping with the first Dyrr cousins blood察around the second's neck。 Gromph didn't bother waiting for the prisoner to die before stepping to the third in the circle。
   There was a sharp stench of urine that almost made Gromph step back察and a spattering of droplets echoed on the hard stone floor。 The archmage blew air out his nostrils to clear the smell。
   ;Read it察─he said to the terrified captive。
   ;It's a way shelter rune察─the terrified Dyrr cousin almost barked。 ;A way shelter。;
   Gromph could tell by the feminine timbre in his voice that he was a younger cousin。 That was positive in itself。 Kyorli察perhaps sensing the boy's fear or drawn to the stench of piss察looked the prisoner in the face and Gromph did his best to keep the rat's gaze fixed on the boy's eyes。
   Jaemas Xorlarrin leaned in from behind and said quietly察 A pleasing blood red察Archmage。;
   Gromph smiled察and the bound prisoner did his best to look away。
   ;The smaller察─Gromph said then listened to the sounds of Prath's robes rustling behind him。 ;Read it察─he said to the prisoner。
   The boy looked up察tears streaming down his cheeks察and blinked at the young Baenre察who Gromph knew was holding up the other side of the placard upon which was drawn察half again smaller than the way shelter rune察the number 。 。 。
   ;Five察─the prisoner said察his voice squeaking in a most unseemly way。
   Gromph smiled and stepped back察Jaemas moving smoothly to get out of his way。
   ;Yes察─the archmage said察 this one。;
   Jaemas snapped his fingers and Prath came quickly back to attend his superiors。 The sound of a dark elf being strangled again echoed through the chamber察then again察and seven more times as Zillak executed the rest of the captives察save the one with the sensitive察blood´crimson eyes。
   As Zillak went methodically about his bloody work察Gromph察Jaemas察and Prath stripped off their robes to stand barefoot察naked from the waist up察covered only by simple breeches。 Gromph concentrated on the sounds of the executions察keeping his mind as clear as he could。
   In his rise through a demanding House察then through the ranks of Sorcere察Gromph had seen and done much。 He was no stranger to pain and sacrifice and was able to withstand much that would break even other noble drow。 He told himself that he would bear the proceedings that day as well察for his own good and for the sake of Menzoberranzan。
   He kept mental note of the number of strangulations he heard察and when Zillak was squeezing the last of the life out of the last of the Dyrr captives察he said察 Bring in the table when you're through there察Zillak。 Then leave us。;
   ;Yes 。。。; the assassin grunted as he strained through the last execution察 Archmage。;
   When that last life was spent察Gromph caught a glimpse through Kyorli's eyes of Zillak walking quickly out of the circle of dead察wiping his hands dry on a rag。 The surviving Dyrr was crying察and by the sound of it Gromph thought the boy was more ashamed than afraid。 He had broken察after all。 He had behaved like some 。 。 。 goblin´certainly not a drow。 Dark elves didn't wet themselves at the prospect of death or torture。 Dark elves didn't cry in the face of their enemies´didn't cry at all。 If the boy hadn't proved his keen darkvision察Gromph might have thought him half human。
   An example察he thought察for us all。
   Zillak wheeled in a table upon which were secured four sturdy rothe leather straps。 At one end was a drain that emptied into a big glass bottle hanging from the bottom of the table。 Zillak left the table where Jaemas Xorlarrin indicated and quickly left the room。
   Gromph took hold of Kyorli and cradled the rat in his arms as he sat on the table。 Holding the rat察he found he could turn the beast physically to keep her eyes focused where he wished。 Gromph chuckled at the odd timing of that revelation and turned the rat's face to Jaemas。 The Xorlarrin mage was making a point of not acknowledging Gromph's sign of humor。 Young Prath just looked nervous。
   ;This is something察─Gromph said to his nephew察 that few masters have seen in a centuries´long lifetime察young nephew。 You will be able to tell your grandchildren that you were here to witness it。;
   The apprentice mage nodded察obviously unsure how to respond察and Gromph laughed at him even as he lay down on the table。 The steel was cold against his back察and Gromph broke out in gooseflesh。 He let out a long sigh to keep from shivering and held Kyorli to his bare chest。 The rat's claws pricked him察but Gromph didn't mind。 There would be greater pain soon察and not only for the archmage。
   Reeling at first from the dizzying perspective察Gromph held the rat aloft and turned it to face the Master of Sorcere。 From the bowl that Prath was holding Jaemas had taken a polished silver spoon。 No ordinary eating utensil察the edges of the spoon were sharpened to a razor's keenness察Jaemas gestured for Prath to step closer to the prisoner察and Jaemas began to chant a spell。
   The words of power were like music察and the sound of them sent a shiver through Gromph's already freezing spine。 It was a good spell察a hard spe
