[HQ Ignorance] Scene 36: The Chamber of the Broken King

[Erica Hoehn]

Kalen tries to get in touch with the banner holders to ask
them to bring much food for the Rotterex and his clan, as
he has no desire to become a meal for the bazak, and he
wants to know that they will receive something for the
assistance.

Kalen thanks Rotterex for his assistance, "I shall see you
again soon, I hope".

Kalen wrinkles his nose (if he can, being stone and all) in
distaste at the signs of debauchery.

As he peers into the domain of Guimarn The Fat and sees him
with those poor young children, his mind is made up and he
takes the weapon given to him by Ithic... (sorry can't
remember how to spell it) and quietly moves in to strike at
the broken king.
