The Assassin's Blade: The Throne of Glass Novellas

Product Information

Sometimes, certain characters may discover, after the fact, the Dragonborn has stolen something. Unlike cases where the theft is detected immediately and guards are called to arrest the thief, here the Dragonborn does not receive a bounty; instead, the character will pay three hired thugs (one of which will have a Contract in their inventory) to "teach a lesson" to the perpetrator.

She is often seen wearing ornate armor featuring engraved wolves, even in the heat of the Red Desert. The right shoulder is fashioned into a snarling wolf's head, and her helmet into a wolf hunched over the nose guard, similar to the wolf's head molded into the pommel of her broadsword. On anyone else, the armor might have looked flamboyant and ridiculous, but on Ansel, it made her look striking. PC 360 PS3 Sneaking while drawing a weapon and moving in third-person results in sneaking at regular walking speed until the Dragonborn stops moving, which causes them to sneak at regular speed. Celaena then runs into Sam, and they share an awkward moment together. When Arobynn beat them both up, Sam threatened to kill him for hurting her (BECAUSE HE’S IN LOVE WITH HER). Then it turns out Sam has been forced to hang out with Lysandra, another one of Arobynn’s protegées, but of the courtesan kind. Celaena hates Lysandra and her madam, Clarisse. Turns out it’s Lysandra’s Bidding soon.

Celaena distracts him by showing him her face (she had been wearing a mask because Adarlan’s Assassin’s identity has to remain secret) and allows Sam to flee for the tower with the chain. Celaena fights Rolfe, Sam fixes the chain, and they all live happily ever after. Well, until the next novella. The more the Dragonborn sneaks, the more their Sneak Skill increases.

She then tells Sam of everything that happened in the Red Desert, which convinces her to pay off her debt. Arobynn is sad, but actually also super angry because he’s an asshole. She doesn’t tell him she’s moving out yet. Celaena and Sam have moved out and when Celaena goes off to listen to a concert (from the roof, because she no longer has the money/status to sit inside and Arobynn hates her), Sam goes off to fight in the Vaults, the city’s underworld, to earn money for them.

This will let you keep Chaol’s story cohesively together, as well as make sure you aren’t begrudging the cliffhanger at the end of Empire of Storms. The next day, they go ask Arobynn if they can leave, and he tells them they can if they pay a huge amount of money, which not coincidentally is exactly what Celaena still has in her bank account. Celaena agrees, because saying no would get them nowhere.
