Talon Southpaw
Talon Southpaw was the
fastest pugilist ever to
walk within the Court of
Pain. His speed rivaled that
of the great Grandmaster
Tynn. He could often be
found within the local
taverns demonstrating the
awesome speed of his left
fist.
Talon Southpaw came to
| rebirth within this caste.
Although quick with fist and
tail, the speed of his left
arm was not to come to
blossom for a couple of decades
past his rebirth. It was to
follow his captivity by the
accursed sarnak.
Soon after fulfilling the
|
|
Rung of Tynn, Talon went on
a wandering retreat into the
dangerous outlands of Kunark.
He was not heard from for
a total of 5 seasons. Upon
his return to Cabilis he
told of his captivity within
an ancient city of the Iksar
now claimed by the sarnak.
He told of intense torture.
He survived the ordeal.
He escaped from the claws
| of the sarnak with numerous
scars which proved his
painful ordeal. Most of the
worst scars were never seen.
Talon wore a robe
which he never removed. The
scars underneath were for no
lizard's eyes. His great
perseverance gave him an
inner strength no other monk
could lay claim to.
He now possessed incredible,
|
|
almost blinding speed with
his left arm. He could
trap a foe's arm with his
left and strike with it as if
he had a third arm! He was
indeed a paragon of the
Swifttails. All in the
empire either respected or
feared him. None would spar
him outside of the taverns.
With grog comes stupidity.
Upon his death in Kurn,
| Grandmaster Tynn removed his
hands in a private ceremony.
Only Tynn was allowed to gaze
upon Talon's body. The fists
were then sealed in a canopic
which would stay within the
Tower of Kurn. His body was
dusted. This is his tale as
told by Rinmark.
