    Summary

    “I should clarify,” said Essek, when Marion returned with the box. “We have experimented with intoxicants before, with initial success and subsequent failure. Recently, we have used enchantment, though Caleb hesitates to become reliant on it for ethical reasons, and I for practical ones.”

    Marion raised a brow. “You don’t wish to condition yourself to come in your trousers every time he makes to cast?”

    Summary

    When they take the first finger, Essek feels relief.

    There are a multitude of reasons, the first being that they, in some form of providence, selected his right pinky for amputation. His least used finger on his non-dominant hand, not crucial in any somatics, markedly his least beloved bundle of phalanges. He thinks, deliriously happy, riding the high of blood loss, 'I am still useful'.

    Summary

    It was a bit depressing, Verin mused, that the letter sitting on his desk terrified him more than all the horrors of Bazzoxan.

    Verin, his mother had written. Essek is dead.

    Verin read it again.

    Essek is dead.

     

    Or: Verin's brother is dead, and no one can tell him why. The only way to get answers is to track down the Mighty Nein.

    Summary

    Something sharp and cold burrows between his shoulder blades and settles along his spine. The Shadowhand straightens his back, spits the blood from his mouth and steels himself for the second betrayal of the only friendship he’s ever had. The lie coats his tongue like quicksilver – it tastes a little like grief, and a little like victory.

    »Hello Jester. My apologies, I could not contact you earlier. Sudden circumstances disallowed me the visit at last minute, but I am quite hale.«
