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.
