Few habitants of the Empire ever wonder about how do rogues actually live, how is their everyday life like and how does their den look like? Is it really as bad as rumours tell? The scary truth is – it is indeed that bad. Creepy fetid grotto; dilapidated huts, quickly built up from improvised materials, stuck one on top of another under the biggest rocky arch and countless swarms of dirty scum, swarming like rats, who spend all their time drinking and starting fights. And among all this madness, there was only one bastion of a certain semblance of civilization – a high fortified platform with a richly decorated and well-guarded tent, inside which the local leader resided.
Having approached the tent, the nomad glanced at the thugs standing at the entrance and having waited until one of them pointed with his thumb over his shoulder, he confidently stepped forward, opening the curtain.
-"You called, Boss?" He said right at the threshold, observing how the owner of the tent slowly turned his eyes to him and how the robber on boss’ right hand side began to drift away, gradually merging with the shadows.
-"They say you come straight from the kennel? What is going on there?" The leader asked in an imperious voice seated on his slightly beaten, but very luxurious throne, which stood out from the general interior in much the same way as this tent on the background of the rest of the grotto.
-"Nothing much. Dogs still barking at the she-wolf" he made a short pause "Barking but not biting"
-"Make them bite" the semi-ordering tone momentarily discouraged the nomad, but the decisive glance of the leader instantly brought him back to his senses.
-"Should I use the old scheme?"
-"Nearly. The old man will compose a new alignment". The outlines of the robber wrapped in a cloak became a little clearer as if he took a step forward although there was not the slightest movement noticeable from him. –"The main goal is that they do not stick their filthy noses into our affairs until I’m done with our.." he curtailed a moment, choosing the right word "…strange friends. Do I make myself clear?"
-"Yes, boss" the nomad answered resolutely, looking at the gloomy robber in the shadows, and at once felt a strange sense of anxiety, making his bones go cold.
