Blood and Bone/Chapter 11

__NOTOC__
===The Adwami/Jatal===
Warleader and the Adwami tribes attack the Thaumaturg capital, Anditi Pura. The city itself offers no resistance, but the Inner City complex is well defended by yakshaka. Though many are killed, the mercenaries overcome them and the leaders enter the complex.
Inside they find many dead Thaumaturg mages; as in Isana Pura they have been killed by Shaduwam priests of Agon.
As they advance they are attacked by undead Thaumaturgs who are unstoppable by normal means, but Jatal discovers that cutting off their hands renders them harmless. They enter a maze of subterranean tunnels and continue to be attacked. Jatal finds Princess Andanii severely wounded, and tries to rescue her. However she dies; Jatal loses consciousness and is captured.
Jatal wakes and discovers he is one of many captives of the priests of Agon, who are sacrificing them one by one. However when it is his turn he is instead taken to Warleader, who is revealed as the leader of the Shaduwams. He extracts an arrow from his body, and Jatal sees it is one of Princess Andanii's; she hadn't betrayed him after all. Warleader commands that Jatal be allowed to live.
He wanders outside and is found and rescued by Scarza, Warleader's half-Trell lieutenant, who is angry that Warleader has betrayed his men and is determined to follow him for vengeance. They depart together.
