*As twight falls upon the parapets of Sword Swamp, the sound of of hooves fills the air. A horse is being drivin up the trail. Hard and fast. As the horse nears a woven basket , it suddenly stops. The rider's feet hit the soil with a loud hard thump. The rider walks fast with long strides. The creatures of the parapets try to see who comes this way, but they can't see him clearly. They see a man. A tall man with broad shoulders. The rider's pace quickens as he nears the basket. In one fluent motion, without braking his stride, the man snatches a toad from the gound and nails all four limbs to a dead tree not more then 5 feet from the basket. The toad screams as loud as a toad can scream. And before the toad can stop it's cry of anguish, it is split from throat to groin by a lightning fast dagger. The rider turns and mounts his horse. And as quickly as the horse arrived it left. All the creatures of the parapets saw was a man of silver riding away on a pale horse.*
