"I must find another household to protect. My kind cannot abide long journeys or I would help you. Good luck."

"If I can see her, I could try to pull up some small items. Her body would be too heavy to lift, I'm afraid."
Hatch says nothing, but there is fear in his eyes when Nadya volunteers to guide the group to Whitethrone. The courage he found when he agreed to help attack Radosek has dwindled and is dying like a burning match in a windstorm.
Hatch speaks up at this point, "I 'member this painting. Nazhena's mother had the portrait made. Daughter then was being trained in Whitethrone and mother missed daughter. When daughter came back, she repaid her mother's love with betrayal. She must have learned that in Whitethrone."
In answer to Damiano's question, Hatch reaches out and touches him and the wizard disappears. Then he does the same with a picture in a frame on the wall, a painting of the pale tower at sunset, and the picture and frame disappear. Hatch giggles and then dismisses the effect on Damiano. The picture remains invisible for about five minutes. He demonstrates a few other of his favorite tricks. He takes out his tiny club he can use as a weapon, turns it invisible, and then a moment later, everyone can hear a knocking at the west door. Once people look that way, he dismisses the invisibility on the club and people can see it floating and tapping on the door. He knocks another small framed picture off hits hook. He causes a flash of light and a puff of smoke to appear nearby. Hatch smiles broadly as he shows off his tricks. To Domitian's question, he nods.
Hatch was initially fearful of participating in the assault, but seeing that the group has successfully eliminated all opposition except the people at the top, literally, he sees an opportunity to get revenge on Nazhena and/or Radosek, so he gleefully agrees to participate. "Hatch can help. What is needful?" |
