Involvement

Act Three

Avourel is in Bloomridge Park discussing the state of the Flaming Fists with Eldaernth, Thokki, and Vistra.

Idle banter

• Vistra

  'Absolute' this... 'end of the world' that... These young folk've no idea how good they've got it.

  • Eldaernth

    Come off it, Vistra. You've been doing this same rant for years.

    • Avourel

      Yeah, the first lot of young folk you said it about are old folk now!

      • Vistra

        Piss off, the lot of youse.

• Eldaernth

  You're remembering the past pretty fondly, Vistra. Bit too fondly.

  • Vistra

    What d'you mean?

    • Eldaernth

      You telling me you'd have refused the Steel Watch's help on Returning Day a decade ago?

      • Vistra

        You'll, uh... remind me?

        • Eldaernth

          Big horrible beast? Slaughtered Duke Adrian? We could do bugger all about it?

          • Thokki

            Lost a lot of good men that day.

• Vistra

  You make a good point, Eldaernth.

  • Eldaernth

    You've known me long enough, Vistra. When haven't I?

    • Vistra

      We could've used the Steel Watch back in the day. But that's because we fought actual threats. Back when the Fists were real Fists. Not bloody...

      • Avourel

        Limp gloves.

• Eldaernth

  So, Vistra. You reckon we'd still be better Fists than the current cohort?

  • Vistra

    Peace of piss, mate. Easy. Yes.

    • Eldaernth

      Great. So let's get you out of that chair and into your chain mail, then? Show the young lot how it's done?

      • Vistra

        Uh... Well...

        • Thokki

          My armour's not fit for years.

          • Avourel

            Yeah, to be honest? Thought of holding a pike makes my back ache.

            • Eldaernth

              It's a young man's game. Right, Vistra?

              • Vistra

                'Spose.

• Vistra

  Look, all I'm saying is they've got it easier these days.

  • Thokki

    Yeah, we didn't have these big metal bastards running the streets back in my day.

    • Eldaernth

      Thanks to the bloody Iron Crisis we barely had any metal back then.

      • Vistra

        You're right, you're right. We Fists had to proper fight back then. We knew how to watch each other's backs.

        • Eldaernth

          Helm give me strength.

• Eldaernth

  Not seen action like that in a while. (After the ambush in Bloomridge Park)

  • Vistra

    Those cultists are lucky they were on the other side of the park. Lucky.

    • Avourel

      You'd have taken them, would you, Vistra?

      • Vistra

        Reckon so.

        • Eldaernth

          Bollocks. These days we'd sooner throw our backs than a proper punch.

          • Thokki

            Well, I, for one, count my lucky stars it happened elsewhere.

            • Avourel

              Same here. My knees are buggered already, never mind running after cultists.
