Squatter. I have a job for you. Haleg and Halasan have run out of supplies. the journey continues but after 2 days without food or water they are getting desperate.
They come across a merchant traveling south with an escort. You both ask them for supplies but they refuse offering only water and bread at such a high price. WHen you say you dont have enough he laughs and goes to leave.
This sends Halasan into a rage. (Why should he die without reeking revenge upon Kiatus!) It is too much and you both kill the merchant and his guards. In the battle Halasan recieves a stomach wound (the guards are very skilled) that seems to leave him ok. However, the wound will slightly nick his stomach and over the course of the next few days he will begin to sicken, his colour draining.
My idea is that, by the time they meet the lovers, somewhere in Minas Tirith, his fever will be playing with his judgement, making him darker, more evil, more hell-bent on destroying Kiatus...
For your post Squatter could you take it to the point after the battle where you finally pass the great wall and can see MT on the horizon. Also, beginning to show Halasan's darker side.
cheers my friend.
