Script Wrecked:
Being a knight would require discipline, not just marital discipline, but mental discipline, emotional discipline. Each situation would have to be evaluated coolly, with a clear mind, not whilst being tossed about on a sea of emotion.
But there was a balance to this. A knight without any emotion would be... insipid. Compassion for your fellow man, outrage at injustice, hatred for wanton chaos. These were all worthy responses, provided the spur to take action. But the execution of such action should be done calmly, in a measured fashion, in proportion to the transgression.
It would be a tricky path to walk. Naldin was aware of his dwarven heritage. The impulse to go crashing in and trample all underfoot was strong amongst his kin. To act first and think after (if at all). These things he would have to be mindful of if he was to succeed as a knight.
Script Wrecked:
Naldin was on the dock of Fort Wailing on Caesin preparing to head back to Vehl when, ahead of him, in the crowd boarding the ship, he was surprised to see the [POST=1724745]gangster[/POST] from Vehl. He appeared to be in the company of two of his cronies.
Well, well, well, Naldin thought to himself. This was unexpected. He proceeded to board the vessel.
Out at sea, the weather had changed for the worse. The sea had turned rough, and the wind was blowing to match. Perhaps it was not to be unexpected that a lubberly Vehlian might find themselves at the rail dry retching over the side. There was something about being blasted by the wind that distracted from the dread feeling of nausea when it gripped. Well, unexpected had not a few drops of spider venom been introduced to his tankard earlier.
Naldin watched and waited from his vantage point. The two goons had been fairly dutiful initially, then took it in turns to be on deck, and finally had taken to keeping an eye from the doorway. Naldin just needed a few moments while they were distracted... Now. Naldin marched across, bent to take the gangster by the knees, straightened and speared him up and over the railing. He didn't stop to watch and see, but moved to cover again. He heard the muffled wail, and what would have been the splash, interweaved with the wind.
The two goons soon noticed their master was out of sight and came out into the weather. They looked up and down the deck with some concern, before heading back below to check for him. A while later they returned, this time peering over the sides. It did not look good. It did not look good for them. They would have to make themselves scarce on return to Vehl.
Script Wrecked:
Naldin knelt at the pew in the Temple of Rofirein in Vehl, full of contemplation and reflection and... penance since the incident on the Caesin ship. It had been a year, a whole year, since the waiter had been drowned. In that time, the gangster had made steady progress, increased his prestige, and perpetrated who knows what acts in his endeavours of self advancement.
Naldin sighed. He prayed for all the innocent victims that had suffered at the gangster's hand during this time. He apologized to them and to the Great Gold for his own short coming.
Naldin snorted at the bitter irony. He had taken months, almost a year, to become versed at making lethal strikes, ready to take out the gangster, and in the end had thrown him up and over the railing.
But now, now he was ready. He pledged to the All-Seeing enact justice in a more timely fashion, that innocents would no longer be held to suffer while justice prevailed.
Script Wrecked:
It had been fortuitous that Naldin had available the vial of poison he used to spike the gangster's [POST=1725764]tankard[/POST]. Usually he carried a bottle of the weak solution with him, which was normally enough for several days. However, when he travelled further afield, such as overseas to Caesin, he would bring a vial to make up a new bottle. But it was only for his own use.
Now, he considered the potential for poison to be a tool. It might be used to weaken a tough or resilient opponent such that Naldin would be able to best them. The foes of justice were often stronger and more capable than the agents Justice was able to field. This "tool" might have the potential to level the playing field, as it were.
Naldin also considered his own mithridatism. Another year had passed. He would partake of the venom of the giant spider.
