Narissa smiles wickedly, "What is good really?"
"Iomedae's dogs call themselves that, but they are no better than us. Hextor's followers are labeled evil but I don't feel that way. Just because I look out for myself and wish a better life for me and you two, doesn't mean that I am damned." except that I am, I suppose. "Because I like fighting humans and tasting their blood, that doesn't that make me evil, either. Those were bad men we killed recently, so that hardly counts as immoral to kill them."
"So whatever that creature was, he must be aligned with the forces of Iomedae for my profane smiting to be so effective. That was my point."
As she watches Visara search the corpse, she shrugs, "We were not hard to follow if he was flying around as a misting cloud. So he could have followed us from Korvosa, I suppose. However, it could have been a divine hand to set him upon us too. I suspect that the bastard paladin lost our trail and his cunt of a mistress sent someone local to try and eliminate us. And this creature appears to be one of those that likes the forest too much. Bounty hunter perhaps?"
"I don't think we invaded his territory, at least. That was not the impression I got from his ranting during the battle. So I think his attack was more personal."
Narissa does not understand the will of the gods, but there are often twists of fate as Iomedae and Hextor vie for power and it would not be the first time their meddling fingers were touching her strands in the tangled skein.
