The Quick March

The Quick March is the fifty-fifth chapter of Tales of Sheol'gotha:  Shadow of the Abaddon.

Synopsis
Valon, outraged over what Adramelech intends to do as per Coagion's explanation, is quick to arrange for the whole group to prepare to move out. He returns to Ysir's room and orders Soltas out to prepare, but Coagion makes demands of Soltas and suddenly turns violent against the scoutmaster. Valon steps in, defending his commander and rebuking the king, earning Coagion's ire.

Coagion leaves, but no sooner is the vampire gone than another shadow assassin turns up and attempts to get Valon. Soltas wrestles with the creature, telling Valon to shadowdance to defeat it. Valon manages to skewer it, learning that Soltas' father had the assassins in his home as a threat and reminder from Abaddon.

Outside Valon talks to Palus, looking for words of reaffirmation and getting what he perceives as a downtalking lecture. He gathers the remainder of the commanders and gestures for them to join him in making their preparations for departure, and suggests that they all ignore Coagion's calls for special treatment.
