In the books Jimmy the Hand comes across an Assassin on the rooftops of Krondor, who is about to assassinate the Prince (if I remember correctly). The Assassin and Jimmy then having a running fight. That's what the picture is.
This is a wonderful impression of how I perceived the fight. Nighthawks are taken from all over the Kingdom, and Jimmy was still quite young at the time, so I had always imagined him being scared to death, and really fighting more for his life than anything.
Captures the scene very well. Wouldn't you be scared as a teenager to have one of the land's fabled assassins confronting you, on a roof of all places?

I think it would be nice to know a little about what these two characters are trying to accomplish here, and why. Cool artwork!!
