Parting shot?

_While the raids on the gates seem to have died down, one final grisly discovery is made.
A young guard is found dead in his sentry box, clearly stabbed to death by an attacker at groin height. The militia who find him count over 100 stab wounds.
Pinned to his forehead is a piece of parchment in a crabbed, erratic hand:_
@2f2bc2e58e:
I've got myself a new knife
It's steel and horn and it glints like a star in the sun
I've got myself a new knife
I hold it and stare at the line of my knife
And I think about things that it's done
A girl needs a knife
A girl needs a knife
A girl needs a knife
And I've got mineI've got myself a new knife
I got it from a bugbear who used to be a chief
When I held it I knew it was my new knife
I heard it hiss my name
And the whisper it made
When I pulled the blade
Out of the sheath
A girl needs a knife
A girl needs a knife
A girl needs a knife
And I've got mineI've got myself a new knife
It has a channel down the side for the blood to run
Everything is different, now I own a new knife
In the twilight I reach out and test the blade of my knife
With my thumb
A girl needs a knife
A girl needs a knife
A girl needs a knife
And I've got mineI've got myself a new knife
You'd be surprised at what my knife can do
Spells can be countered, bows are complex
Goblin grenades can fail to explode
You'd better listen: this is true
My knife is simple; part of it I hold
The other part of it's for you
A girl needs a knife
A girl needs a knife
A girl needs a knife
And I've got mine

Cecil is immediately to the sight where the guard was slain, and will assist if possible in bringing him to the healers to see if he can be revived.
One word in the common tongue seems to cross his lips, more a question than anything, the rest of his speech a mix of profanity, Illuskan, and Illuskan Profanity.
The query, "Marty?"
