Support
Obscure characters #2
Sometimes the best seat for a fight is to be the healer of the hero. Not having to get so close that you are in danger, bit close enough that you can help the main fighter or the party of fighters that are currently fighting. It's not always the best job to have because of the the thought, "I have attacking potential too!" but you always know that the best way to be helpful in their case is to stay back and, well support them. We usually get neglected for raw power, but you never know when you'll need support.
Execution
Obscure Characters #1
It was Wednesday, and the executioner was walking up the steps to the gallows for the seventh time this week, waiting for the voice of the queen to yell, "Off with his head!" Again. He would probably be up here another twenty times before the week was out. He sighed and continued to the three posts that were here today. He stopped next to his lever, and waited for the Queen to give the word. This time the king was too late to pardon the poor men with the ropes around their necks. The queen yelled, he pulled the lever.
