It's "qahwa" (or "fireswallow," or "kaeth"), not "qawah". I'd suggest you consult Anauroch (TSR 9320), or the "So saith Ed," March 6, 2005 entry in order to educate yourself on coffee in the Realms.

Holy ending!

Thanks for catching that, Kyrene!
I had no idea trolls were so good at spelling.

Just wow....

Looking for a double-standard, now, are we? Why ARE YOU trying build a case here?

Anyway, although I thought the descriptive text was a bit heavy-handed in the first paragraph, nicely done.

I believe you meant 'the' instead of 'they' in the very first sentence though.

Keep it coming.

Mirtul 1 1367DR

Midnights hellish squall lead to near dawn's strange, ephemeral light. Brachalus of Eshpurta gripped the beam of the Manticore, crouched low in the stern. He eyed the distance from the incapacitated curragh and Suzail, dark in the predawn haze.
"Too far," he calculated coldly, standing from the stern and stretching mechanically. Brachalus turned with a scowl as Dursk Thraer's weak, choking cough predicated the appearance of his long, gray, sea matted hair at the booby. Brachalus instantly smiled charmingly.

"Back below deck, Dursk, we know not when those clouds may take a turn." Brachalus admonished himself for the weak lie, pointing at the horizon without losing his smile.

"No, Brachalus," the old man began, hauling himself on elbows and knees across the deck, hoarsely wheezing, to the beam. Hauling himself to his feet, he leaned heavily on one elbow, “I’ve made my life as a chirugeon by the Sea of Fallen Stars and the Dragonmere… I’ll see it end with this sunrise.”

“Dursk,” Brachalus began, his friendly veneer cracking while sincere empathy filled his eyes, “there’s a Blue Dragon galleon five league off the coast of Suzail. It will have spotted us, and be moving to intercept. The wind will impede it progress, but you will live tomorrow,” he continued, a real smile filling his eyes through a cold expression.

“No, lad I cannot feel my left arm, nor my leg.” Dursk feebly attempted to clutch his chest with his right fist, still awkwardly balancing on his right elbow. He looked on at Brachalus with fear filled eyes, which in a moment flooded with tears. Dursk Threaer took two furtive, shambling steps, and then collapsed under his own weight. Brachalus seized him about the shoulders, saving him from the fall.

“Your help tending to the crew was, you…” Dursk, coughed, wheezed, then began to tremble; “you saved those men’s lives Brachalus. You followed my instructions perfectly, made good medicine. Ilmater has blessed you, lad. You are a good boy, Brachalus.” Dursk looked sorrowfully out across the Dragonmere, beheld the sun rising from the Sea of Fallen Stars, trembled weakly, and then saw no more. With that, Brachalus lowered the dead man to the deck of the Manticore. He moved to the stern, and calculated.

“Twelve leagues”, he muttered in whispered tone, “too far in water so cold.” There was no reason to assume, even if the galleon had a spyglass, that the Blue dragon vessel would see them. The tiny mistrunner was sundered, the ship lost. Brachalus moved to the booby, and then leapt into the hull. He moved to a large keg of lard, stripped off his clothes, and then meticulously smeared his body with the fatty paste. He replaced his small clothes and breeches, tunic and boots, then moved to his satchel stowed witin a small footlocker within the cargo hold. He opened it, and withdrew his fighting leathers. He dressed quickly; tightening straps at the waste, shoulders, knee, ankle and wrist of his leather armor mechanically. He placed a form fitting black cowl over his head and face, and tied it firmly. He checked twice the position and fit of his weapons, the moved again to the booby. The low groans of those plague victims who yet lived among the crew issued out from behind the bulkhead.

Their names were Herin, Gerdrous and Fleruk.

Gerdrous’ wife gave birth to a daughter just two tenday past.

Fleruk’s jests were crass, though he was clever and kind.

Herin was somber, and seemed always alone. Brachalus knew well the darkness of solitude.

“Do not be a fool, Brachalus,” he thought to himself, “these men are better dead to you than alive.” This ship kept no manifests; indeed, it cargo was five heavy crates of cheap thalander steeped in phaenaelo, the dried. Indeed, were the ship to be seized by Cormyr’s navy, the men within would be sent to prison. But hard labor under the crown was better than dead. Freedom was better yet. Quickly, Brachalus hauled the heavy crates to the deck, and placed the five out at the stern. The phaenaelo infused thalander would’ve commanded two hundred tri-crowns, and the crew of this ship would’ve been wealthy for the rest of their lives. But that was not to be.

Brachalus hauled in the curragh’s sails from the sundered mast, and wound it around the crates. Taking up two oil lanterns, he dashed them across the crates, which instantly burst into flame. A heavy tendril of bluish-green smoke issued upward, high into the sky.

“They are sure to see that”, Brachalus muttered ruefully.

Brachalus then turned, and dove over the beam. Powerful strokes lead him away from the curragh swiftly. He never looked back. Two hours later, he reached the banks of the Dragonmere, cursing daylight as he crouched within a heavy stand of reeds. Planting his feet firmly in heavy mud, he settled himself in to wait for nightfall. His first job afield, and already everything had gone wrong. He scowled bitterly.

“I will end the Cormaeril’s life, and then have done with this foul country.”

Brachalus of Eshputa was sixteen years old, an elite Shadow Thief, and aching in his heart. He would do what was required of him. He would please the Grandfather. He would kill.

He was an assassin.

“You are a good boy, Brachalus,” Dursk Thraer’s word’s haunted him.

He was an assassin. He would kill the Fire Knife. The Grandfather would be pleased.

“You are a good boy, Brachalus…

a good…

boy”.

Mirtul 1 1367 DR
Brace awoke to the sound of street clamor, all manner of sounds erupting through his shuttered windows. He leapt out of bed, nearly striking his head against the pitch of the roof, whose sharp angle delineated the already narrow room. He took a few steps, the few that were available to him in the contracted room, and then stretched and yawned broadly. Baking bread, sweet and pervasive, filled his rented room above the kitchen.

“In The Dragon’s Jaws, no less!” Brace grinned. “By all the Gods, this adventure of mine could not be going better!” He dressed quickly, hung his peace-knotted blade on his baldric, and trotted down the slender stairway outside his door to the ground floor of the inn. The common room of The Dragon’s Jaws was alive with patrons devouring thick broths, ring-loaves and morning ale. Brace looked left, right, all around the common room. Every lass carrying a tray was more lovely than the last. As he turned in to the common room, one, a lovely brunette turned lusty eyes on him and curtsied very low,

“My lord”, she whispered. Brace smiled, and nodded. He turned on his heel away from the girl and entered the common room, when a patron on his left nearly leapt from his chair, sloshing warm broth over simmered strips of eel.

“My lord”, he bowed.

“Sure, yes, thank you, good sir.” Brace waved.

And so it went; a step taken, another patron encountered; another bow or curtsy, and a returned polite smile. His progress across the common room became comically slow, as he smiled or waved or nodded his way across the floor. “This is not working,” he said, turned, snatched a heavy ring loaf from a servant boy who carried a stave containing a score of them, shouted,

“Sorry, thank you!”, tossed two golden lions on the bar, and ran back to his room. He grabbed his warrior’s kit, round steel shield and suit of mail, then threw open the shuttered windows. With one hand gripping the shoulder strap of his kit, the other upon the pommel of his sword swinging on its baldric, and the ring loaf clenched firmly in his teeth, he leapt from the second story window to a low, sloping roof of The Dragon’s Jaws. He landed nimbly, slid briefly, then leapt to the street. Folk looked up in momentary horror, immediately mollified by the ridiculous young noble smiling broadly behind a pastry gripped in his teeth. Then the bowing started. Again.

He sighed, ate his ring loaf, purchased morning ale, and then resolved himself not to smile at every commoner who bowed as he passed. His Father has said it was a bad habit, his mother disagreed; even lauded Brace’s belief that he was born to serve Cormyr, indeed, that all the noble class were elevated to their station only so that they could better serve the common citizens of Cormyr. Nobility was a burden, Brace believed, a belief not commonly held within most of Cormyr’s myriad noble houses. He hurried, head low, down the Promenade. Today, he would prove his worth, and serve the Forest Kingdom. Today, he would become a Purple Dragon Knight.

Well if you’d rather I didn’t read your attempts at fiction, just say the word...

By the way, are you ever going to fix all the errors in your writing? You should really get someone else to proofread it before posting it here. Or do you have no pride in your work?

But I did! I'd like to see it nicely cleaned up so I can enjoy it more and not stumble over an error at every turn. Perhaps it's just me, but nothing throws me out of suspension of disbelief quicker than writing errors. Sorry!

That's true, Kyrene. But this isn't published material that has gone through the hands of an editor, it's fanfic posted on a bulletin board. So, he's allowed some leeway.

I actually DO know everything. I just have a very poor index of my knowledge.

But it hasn’t even gone through a spellchecker! And that you can do yourself just by pressing F7. But, never mind, I suppose you’re right. I’ll restrain myself from correcting even the most glaring mistakes and just read it for what it’s worth.

Kyrene:

Regarding spelling, you're right; I just type this on Candlekeep, and never run a spellchecker. Luckily, there are only two spelling errors in all of my posts in this thread.

I'll pick those up before publication.

Thanks again, you troll(blooded) amalgam of fell creatures.

You're still angry about how I owned you regarding the use of "paper" as a proper term in the 'Realms to describe a written work, aren't you? It's ok, buddy, no ones perfect.

Hell, even I only have a *nigh* encyclopedic knowledge of the 'Realms!

There's no call to ignore Kyrene, AR. His work on the glossary is, I'm certain, a benefit to many scribes. Although his candor can frequently be considered disrespectful, one could just chalk that up to the "way of the Internetz".

Oh, you were referring to me. My mistake.
That's not very pleasant of you, AR, but ok.

Are you aware that it is acceptable at Candlekeep, perhaps even encouraged, to call fellow scribes, "trolls"?

Whereas you’re just disrespectful by nature, I’m sure. To everyone!

Don’t worry Sage/Wooly, I’m done with this smug, arrogant, condescending and disrespectful poser. I shall ignore any replies (or “must have last words”) of Brace’s in future, even the one he’s bound to have to this one. I have far better things to do...

Indeed. If you think that the comments above added to Candlekeep, you are mistake. Why you work to bring down the quality of the 'Keep, I know not. Adding to a scroll merely to disparage a scribe, "smug, arrogant, condescending, disrespectful and poser" being a set of pejorative descriptivres, is trolling.
I hope I have taught you a valuable lesson, Kyrene, one that you can carry into your real-life. If you're going to attack someone with snark, you better be damn sure you got your facts straight.
'Papers' could be written on the topic.

Apart from the spelling errors that Kyrene already pointed out and the fact that he's using "paper" incorrectly, it's a good story, for a troll. But I'm a person that is easily impressed, that's why I showed this story to my brother and some friends and they all said that it's "so-so", mediocre at best.

So if he calls someone a troll several times and behave like... he's behaving, then it's no problem, lets just ignore it (What else can you do? oh, wait. You can BAN him.), but when I just give my opinion then I'm the bad guy? I just wanted to comment on the story. If he posted it here then he should know that it can be criticized.
P.S. And I don't think that you made peace. He's just being ignored. AND Brace just waits for a chance to attack, like a tiger. :P

My point is, that all occurred MONTHS ago and the parties involved resolved the issue. By using the tone of your posts, it just looks like you're picking a fight.

I actually DO know everything. I just have a very poor index of my knowledge.

Ok, ok. You're right. It was not nice of me. My reason is that I only now had time to read the story. Months ago I didn't have time and I didn't want to involve myself in a dispute, not knowing the background (hadn't read the story, I mean).
And by commenting on the story I just used his own tone.

Don't feed the trolls. Especially the clever ones.
