But soon I scented the stench of magics fouler than Xorbb's.
An evil eye floated there and the ice howled.
The fur on my feet froze. I suddenly heard the tolling of a great bell, coming from deeper within the city. We all paused in combat. Behind the aching note of the bell came a dark cackle.

I took out a bottle of fermented Jum juice and sloshed it on his face and struck him with my fiery blade until he fell into a puddle of burned, lacerated meat.
