"I grow tired of drow failures. But if the knowledge of his bolt holes and Nalifan's truename don't interest you, please feel free to proceed without me."
Now that is a very terribly scary idea. True Name magic is bad on multiple levels. How the hell does Wither know the name?
Unless, as I've said before, it's Nalifan himself.
Either way, great chapter and just what I needed at this point.

Even if Wither is Nalifan, which I doubt, that wouldn't mean he'd automatically know Nalifan's truename. Most creatures don't, at least not mortals. He'd have had to go to some effort to find out no matter who it is.

The Roguish one is correct. A small hint. Wither has great magic and possessions intimately connected to Nalifan.
It's not that I'm unforgiving, it's that most of the people who wrong me are unrepentant assholes.
Warriors has one typo... and it's the first sentence, so if you don't find it it's not my fault
clipped the last of Scutter's servomotor relays and put the down the clippers on the table beside me. "Repair systems are offlined, movement and communication systems disabled."
But other than that, this is about to get Really Damn Good. Somehow I doubt there will be a truce called to beat up on the pirates... but I do wonder if we'll get the classic scene of two sworn enemies protecting each other's backs 'until the pirates are gone'. After all, both BreakOut and DeathStrike are very honorable that way.

Dorsk 81: this is why I support the separation of Aces eyebrow's, something that ugly should never be joined
Mayabird:You see what this place does to us? It's like how Eskimos have their 16 names for snow. We have to precisely define what shafting we're receiving.
"Do we think Israel would be nuts enough to go back into Lebanon with Olmert still in power and calling the shots? They could hook Sharon up to a heart monitor and interpret the blips and bleeps as "yes" and "no" and do better than that, both strategically and emotionally."
You know, that's something I've wanted to do to many a kleptomaniac shorty character over the years, but never got to. Why's it always the gnomes and halflings? Human rogues just never seem to be compulsive thieves, certainly not with the frequency of halfers.

Either way, I like the idea of Predaking as an Autobot War Hero, who then went Decepticon. Were they Smashed, or went willingly? So many new directions that can go!
