* On the edges of The Sword Swamp appears the pale horse. Her rider pushes the gallant steed faster and faster, deeper into this putrid land. The rider, a Knight, is dressed in full armor. The breast plate bears an insignia of the head of the cobra. The hood is fully extended, the fangs are long and sharp and the eyes have the look of the devil himself. *
* Arboc the True is on his way to “talk” to Lady China. His face shows no emotion as he arrives outside the tavern. Arboc dismounts from his mount and kicks open the door to this dumped called an Inn. He instantly spies LadyChina across the room and heads straight for her. *
* This Knight is angry; he tosses all the chairs and tables in his path out of his way. A large Orc draws his sword and blocks Arboc’s way. Before the Orc can make a move, Arboc’s left fist smashes into the face of the Orc. In an instant, the creature is slammed to the floor by the blow. Its entire face is broken into a thousand pieces. The Orc screams in pain and hurriedly crawls away crying.*
* Arboc reaches LadyChina. He extends his right arm, and grasps the swamp witch by her throat with his steel clad hand. Quickly he clamps down like a snake biting its victim. LadyChina squeals in pain and feels her windpipe being restricted by her visitor’s hand. Arboc lifts the woman at least 2 feet off the ground with one hand. *
* Gasping for breath, LadyChina grabs Arboc’s hand and tries to remove it from her slender throat. But Arboc’s hand won’t budge. She looks into his eyes, she see that they are colder then her soul has ever been. His voice is low and emotionless, “Listen woman, listen good. Its one thing for you to cast your spells to the wind, in hopes of entrapping me. You can visit every crazy hermit with in a thousand miles of this land to learn what makes me tick. You can even spit at me as I ride by. But you never enter into any tavern to commit murder. Not in Misty Hollow, the Role Play Inn or even here at Sword Swamp. You’re very lucky that your little “gift” didn’t find its way to one of my comrades, because it would have been you impaled on my dagger instead of this spider.” Arboc reaches into his belt and shows her the arachnid skewered on his blade. “Now dear Lady, the time for foreplay is over... You have broken a major rule of the game and you must be punished.”
* Arboc’s hand squeezes a little harder; LadyChina begins to blackout from lack of oxygen. The cold Knight releases his grip and the woman falls to the ground. She begins to cough as the dirty air of the tavern fills he lungs. * “I told you I won’t kill inside a tavern. These places, such as they are, are a sanctuary. But it doesn’t mean I won’t give you a good spanking!!” Arboc, places a chair in front of him and sits down. He then reaches for and grabs the groveling sorceress by the arm and flings her across his lap. He removes the gauntlet from his right hand and proceeds to whack LadyChina’s well rounded rear. LadyChina cries out in pain. The blows are stinging as he makes contact with her delicate hinny. 10 whacks, 20, she looses count. Arboc suddenly stops and stands up. LadyChina again lands on the floor with a loud thud. *
* LadyChina looks up at Arboc with contempt.
Her eyes a filled with tears. She begins to rub her pain soaked rear. Arboc looks down into her watery eyes. He then kneels in front of her and whispers to her, “Good for me, good for you?” He then kisses her forehead and gently smiles at her. He stands up and heads for the door. He tosses 3 large gold coins to the bar keep and says, “Sorry for the disturbance, but some people have to learn boundaries.”, and walks out the door. *
* Every creature in the tavern is silent and unmoving. The only sound in the tavern is LadyChina sobbing from a sore tooshie. Arboc walks out the open door towards his horse. He climbs on and rides off. The silver man on a pale horse quickly disappears. *

Ah well, not looking at my level, but I guess I'm here to defend the evil LC
