The (Solo) Adventures of Solomon Kane
The Rattle of Bones. Chapter 3: What Happened Here?
The search for a bar beginsThey made an odd couple. Kane was dressed in blacks and greys as austere as any Puritan would choose to be. Gaston was of a different type entirely, bedecked with lace and plumes, although his finery was somewhat stained from travel. He was handsome in a bold way and his restless eyes shifted from side to side, never still for an instant as they entered an adjacent room seeking some form of object for use as a bar.
The room they were in had a darkly stained floor, the walls and the one bunk hacked to pieces. “Men have died in here”, muttered Kane somberly, “let us make haste in finding what we need and retire to our room.”
They begin their search, Kane keeping one eye on L’Armon as his distrust of the fellow increases with each step they take. Kane quickly uncovers something which could resolve their dilemma, but after careful thought rejects the item as too weak for the purpose. The search continues.
Kane then exclaims, “I have it!” spotting a door bar affixed to the wall, “Let us return to our chamber and secure ourselves for the night.”
The quest seems to have been resolved. But has it?
