Oh dear, Zythus seems to have gotten himself a reputation as a assassin without even trying, this should be fun to see where that reputation takes him...
apparently that reputation takes him right to Hornet, his contact, and now target, who guessing by the name is a Pegasus.
So, Flynt might be joining him in his travels, wonder how their relationship will grow?
Zythus is terrible at staying loyal to his wife, though to his credit he was drunk at the time, I wonder if he'll have any more 'adventures'
also, why Bookworm as a perk for this chapter? I don't remember him reading any books, well, he did get those books from Scrimshaw, though that hardly seems to count in my opinion. If he was to get a perk in this chapter, I'd say it would either be Lady Killer (thereby setting him as straight, if it wasn't clear already), or something involving charisma/speech, for being able to maintain his reputation as an assassin through words alone, and you do know that he doesn't have to level up every chapter
Finally, his hatred of ponies is slowly beginning to crack, again, this should be interesting
By the way, I noticed a couple of what seem to be typos, and what look to be grammar mistakes, if you want my (meager) help in fixing (some of) them, I could do that.

Thanks for the comments and feedback. As always it is appreciated.

Hornet may be a pegasus hmm? Interesting theory.
I'll admit I shoehorned the perk in at the end. I'm half writing the perks as they apply to the story and half how I would take them as if Zythus was my PC in an FoE world. It was mostly there to set up a scene I had originally intended for chapter 5 but is now in chapter 6.
I derped the final draft too. My editor sent me back her notes and I posted the wrong one. We are currently re-editing Ch:5 but only for grammar/syntax. If you are interested in being a prereader please let me know.

Yes the I got drunk and blacked out is horrible, and yes Xenophobia is not now or will ever have clop aspects. There will be plenty of innuendo and adult situations but nothing overtly graphic.

Thanks again for your encouraging words.
