"I haven't the slightest clue, I was a little busy trying not to die. All I know is that their was a lot of dark energy swarming that place." Alistar says, stretching. He had used up a lot of magic down there and also revealed himself to the two warriors with him. He was quietly cursing himself because of it.

Reginald's wounds reopened a little, but he insisted that it was okay. It was more important to find a cleric to come in and sanctify the place. He was glad to live to fight another day, but now he needed rest. It would definitely be a while before he back on his feet.

Noland waited outside. He was scribbling in a journal. He looked up to the group. "I'm glad you all made it out alive!" He said smiling, "Did you learn anything while down there?"

Reginald began to stir. He was unsure if he had died or not. He winced as he propped himself up on an elbow. He saw the thief boss laying dead on the floor, and Alistar's magnificent wings.

"I never would have thought I'd be fighting side by side with an angel." He said with a weary smile, "well, care to get me out of here boys. I've had enough of this place."

Collin turned to Alistar fast, "You have a lot of explaining to do before you get all comfortable, but we got to leave, something doesn't feel right." Collin went to pick up Reginald, "We need to get Reginald to safety too." Collin couldn't start his questioning yet, the humming in the room was making him feel uneasy.

Alistar blinks, standing up. "Wow, that was longer than I expected. My power must have been weakened." Alistar huffed, pouting. "This always happens! Whatever, is everyone alive?" Alistar tried to refuse the fact that he had done one of the stupidest things ever and got stabbed by a paralysis enchanted sword. He was not always the brightest angel, but he always got the job done.

Reginald was Heavily wounded, but alive. However, his lost blood in addition to the now dead thug boss was enough to light up the circle. All other lights in the room dimmed as magic pulsated through the air. The room hummed, but nothing happened. A tension filled the space of the room as if it was waiting for a final step. Some last procedure that would rip through the air itself and release whatever demon the thieves' were trying to summon into the world.

Collin seemed shocked for a moment, but not as long as the thief, he was baffled. Collin swiftly went around Alistar and stabbed his broadsword into the thug's side, the blade sunk deep. The thief fell from where he stood, he gargled soon after hitting the floor, Collin flinched at the scene he created. Collin turned to check on Alistar, he was paralyzed on the floor, Collin had no idea what to do. He then checked on Reginald from a distance, Collin couldn't tell if he was stable. 

Collin noticed his blood dripping from his hand, and seeping through his clothes, "We did it, I guess…" Collin said blankly. Collin couldn't tell if this was a victory, everything seemed to go wrong, but they succeeded.

"Oh! Just great! Another hero! Don't be so heroic, I'm almost done. Your gonna need to rest a bit anyways though." Alistar finishes and quickly rushes to aid Collin. This man needs to be gotten rid of, Now! Alistar thought, not caring about concealing it any longer. He steps in front of Collin and grabs the rapier by the tip of it's point. "Let's not do anything we might regret shall we?" Alistar let's go, letting it pierce him instead of Collin. He smiles innocently and let's his wings come out as he is slowly paralyzing.

"Simple" said the Rogue, "I need lots of blood for the summoning to work" his voice was void of any emotion as he lunged forward with his rapier hoping to knick an artery.

"You're moving too much." He droned. His rapier began to glow as he enchanted it with the paralyze spell and thrust towards Collin once more. 

Reginald was bleeding out fast. He looked up into Alistar's red eyes. Reginald knew what he was. "Don't… mind me. Go…" he coughed, "go help Colin." His blood began to pool around him and was flowing like a river into the room where the battle was taking place. He touched Alistar's face. "Battle…binds all men. No matter what they are." With this, Reginald slipped into unconsciousness.

Collin was so surprised he almost didn't hear Alistar, "Y-yeah." He said regaining his composer. Collin then turned to the man, he wore a long dark cloak with the hood concealing his face, much like the statues. The man still had his arm out from casting the frost spell, but Collin had to act, so he charge with shield raised. The hooded man subtly moved his arm to point at Collin, thankfully Collin eyes are sharp with magic users. He deflected the attack with his buckler, and finally got close enough the man.

Collin made a thrust with his broadsword, but before he could touch the hooded man, he vanished. Collin looked around knowing that was too easy, the man made himself known to Collin by being right behind him, making a low ringing noise, making himself known. Collin swiftly turned around with his sword swinging, but that ringing noise was the man unsheathing his rapier, so he was able to parry Collin's attack. Collin made more attacks, but focusing on not going ballistic, but the man seemed to parry every attack Collin made, with one hand. Every time Collin used his buckler to attack the lone man would teleport behind him, but now the man started to make his strikes.

They were so fast and subtle that Collin didn't realize he had cuts in his sword hand, or arm, in fact he had more cuts where his armor would leave small openings. Collin didn't notice until he saw blood fling into the air from him swinging his sword around, when he looked down for a moment, his blood was lightly scattered all over the floor. This man was chipping away at Collin, Why aren't you killing me? If you can be this good in a duel, then why not finish me off? Collin asking himself.

"Oh gods! What the hell! Attack magic: Piercing Light!" Alistar launches an attack at the man, but didn't have time to see where it was fired. He frowns, "I have to take the magic out of you before I can heal it, it's going to take time. Collin, I need you to distract that man while I work. Kay thanks!" Alistar then kneels down next to Reginald and starts to get rid of the magic surrounding the wound, bit by bit.

As they moved through the halls Reginald looked to Alistar, "Strange one, I want that light magic of yours primed and ready to fire." The no nonsense knight kept his pace until entering a room with a lone man standing in the center of a circle that took up the entire room.

"Stand down villain!" Commanded Reginald, weary of a fight. The lone man turned around a tossed a frost bolt at Reginald. It skewered him. He dropped to his knees blood dripping from his wound. He tried to speak. He wanted to assure his fellow warriors that the fight was still in their favor, but all that came out was chokes and gurgles.

Reginald didn't care. He was a man who meant business. He ignored Alistar's slip up and mentally logged it under: "things we need to talk about later."

He pressed the thief for more information, "how big is this place?" 

"You've taken down most of us who were here, but our boss is still here. He's in what we think is a sacrificial chamber." Admitted the thug.

Reginald nodded and struck the man unconscious once more.

"Well, lets tie up the live ones and see if we can't cleanse this temple of evil once and for all!" Reginald almost sounded excited.

"Y-yep! A joke! Totally joking!" Alistar shifts in his seat, surprised that actually happened. He's either just dumb or "I'm great at being confusing! Either way I didn't get caught! Woohoo!" Alistar had said this aloud, thinking that he was talking to himself.

Collin looked Alistar confused, he thought he was joking, "That joke wasn't that funny." Collin said, he then turn to the thief, "Alright then, but where is your guild located? Is it in this city?" he asked calmly.

The thief shuttered, "Alright alright, w-we are the theives' guild, but we were on assignment to uncover and possible use any magical artifacts from this old cult temple. Our higher ups wanted a specific amulet that was used for speaking the tongue of demons. They figured if we could communicate and win demons over to our side we could get an stronger grip on the city and kingdom as a whole."

His eyes pleaded at Reginald. "Please, let me live." He begged. 

"You will live scum, but in a prison until your debts to society have been paid!" responded the knight almost coldly.

"Well well, looks like he hit something bigger here, so if this isn't the Thieves Guild, then where exactly is it?" Collin asked the scared thug. Collin had his hands to his waist staring down the man, but he seemed to keep his mouth shut. "Now, I will warn you, this man here is a kind man, and doesn't put up with your kin. He took a dagger to the arm, fought with a numb limb, and stood against the odds of 4 to 1, he won't just give up at a closed mouth." Collin warned the thief. "Don't bring some sort of honor to the honor less, especially to someone who truly knows honor."

He waited for him to talk, the thief slowly look to Reginald.

One of the unconscious thiefs began to stir. He propped himself up on his elbows. He seemed dazed and confused. Once he fully came to his eyes widened as he realized the severity of his situation.

"W-what do you guys want?" He asked terrified

Reginald was feeling much better thanks to Alistar's healing magic. He grabbed up the criminal by the colar of his shirt.

"Now" said the knight, "you are going to tell us everything we need to know about your organization. Understood?"

The terrified man nodded.

Sir Reginald continued, "What were you doing here?"

"W-we were using this old cultist temple as a hideout." The thief stammered, "there's a strange magic here we thought we could harness."

"Hmm? No, I'm fine." besides, why would I want to? Alistar thought. He knew why he wouldn't do it, but felt like sharing that information was a little too deep. It's a job, I'm just going to be with them until the end of the job. Right? He sighs and leans back on his chair, staring at the ceiling, as if there was a home up there, waiting for him.

"Ah I see, in the R.O.W. that stands for The Republic of Wyllmochvar, they attempted to teach older students to try to not shout their spell while being just as strong, so I found it strange." Collin said as respectful as he could.

He notice Alistar not healing himself, "Aren't you gonna patch yourself up? I mean you got hit in the face pretty hard." Collin said concerned.

Collin cleared his throat, "I'm fine, thank you Alistar." Collin sat down at the table the first set thieves were at, he stared at the thief he killed. Collin couldn't stop looking until he realizing what he was staring, he shook his head and shift his attention to the unconscious thief.

"When he wakes we are going to ask him questions about the guild." Collin stated. He sat at the table thinking how he was doing so far, but he remembered that Alistar would say thing before casting spell. He look toward him and asked, "Why do you say those things when casting a spell?"

Alistar regains consciousness and looks around, unaware of what happened beforehand. "Where did those creepy people go?" Alistar gets up, and looks at his comrades. "Looks like we need some healing.

Alistar quiets down in concentration, ignoring his own wounds and focusing on his comrade's.

"Alright ass-hats, stand down and you can leave the city alive!" Collin shouted. The thug that threw the dagger looked at Collin, "And what can you do to make us?" The thug asked. Collin didn't know how to answer, he had to be sly, "Are you willing to find out?" he asked with an intimidating glare.

The thug drew silent, he didn't want a closed casket funeral like the three men the just died. "That is what I thought." Collin continued, "Now, this is what we're gonna do, you all get to leave the city, get a head start. We are going to report a full scale investigation on this place, so I suggest you do find another town to live, cause anyone left here is going to be arrested."  

Collin looked down to see an unconscious thug, the one he kicked. He'll be used to interrogate later.

Reginald flopped his shield arm at the thug that punched Alistar. The man stumbled as he was hit with pure dead weight. During the stumble Reginald took the opportunity to stab the thief. 

The remaining 8 adversaries dropped their blades seeing after seeing three of their friends impolde, and a fourth taken out by a man with a floppy arm. 

When Alistar fainted one of the thieves grew cocky and threw a knife at Reginald. Hitting him  in his sword arm. He had lost a lot of blood, but a knight of Adeluna must not surrender! He remained standing.

"I've had enough of this! Can we ever get a break!? I can't keep this up forever!" Alistar whined as he threw his scythe into one of the thugs. He had just enough of this to hate it. "Equip spell: Arcane Light!" a pool of light surrounds Collin and Reginald, morphing into light shields around them. If I keep this up I will overexert my magic. Alistar quickly releases another spell on three of the thugs. "Attack Spell: Piercing Light!" Three light arrows shot out of his hand and hit the three, quickly surging their bodies in light and making them implode. He couldn't find his scythe anywhere, wherever it was it wasn't responding. Alistar was hit in the face by one of the thugs and fell, knocked out.

The feeling of life return to Collin's leg, as well the rest of his body. He pushed himself up and ran to his sword in the thief, he pulled the sword out of him, his mind was blank the whole time. He didn't know what to do, he couldn't help the man, then he looked to see the new twelve thugs rushing in. 

Collin snapped out of his trance, "How big is this guild?!" He shouted, Collin couldn't understand how Reginald could keep his ground in such overwhelming odds. Too late now anyways, it's either die fighting or die suffocating from gas, Collin raise his sword and stood his ground. Collin just keep fighting, you can't die your first day in Canelux!

One of the unconscious swordmen stood behind Alistar poised to strike. Reginald saw this and threw himself at the thug knocking him down. He lay on top of him holding him down. In the hallway doors opened. The fight had not been a silent affair. 12 more thugs rushed into the room. 

"Don't give up boys! We've got them on the ropes!" He then gouged out the downed swordsmen's eyes. He stood, his shield arm was limp, but his sword arm was still strong.

"I plan to go down fighting!"

Just as he took down the club man he turned around to see Collin on the floor.He's not moving! Alistar surveyed the scene, noticing the wizardling laying on the ground with a sword stabbed through him. He rushes over to Collin, finally noticing the bolt coming out of his leg. "Their bolts paralyze!" crap, I need to stop this before it spreads. Alistar knelt down and placed his hands on Collins leg, chanting hymns. Please let this work! As he is chanting he does not notice someone sneaking up behind him.

You're doing good Collin keep it up He thought to himself, trying to encourage his way through the fight. Though, Collin didn't want to kill these men, yes they're criminals, but Collin doesn't have the right to take the life of these men.

Just knock them out, that'll keep this under control He continued thinking.

Collin kicked the first downed thief he hit with his buckler, aiming for the face and knocking him unconscious. "That's another down!" Collin yelled happily, but the another fireball hit him. "You son of a!" He shouted staggering, Oh I can't wait to get that one. The other thief that jumped away seemed to be killed by Reginald, and the thief that jumped for Collin was still trying to get up. 

Now is Collin's chance to take on the wanna be wizard, so he dashed over to him. Then suddenly there was a sharp pain in his calf , then nothing, Collin looked down to see a bolt in his leg, "Fu-" before he could finish, he hit the floor. Collin didn't want to give in, so he threw his sword at the spell book wielding thief, he was too hasty though, he should have thrown his shield. The sword plunged deep into the thief's chest, he looked down at the sword piercing his heart, and fell to the ground lifeless.

Collin's eyes widen, What have I done?! Collin could not utter a word, he felt a cold feeling inside him, he could feel the man's life escape from him as he fell, and the feeling of an certain form innocence that Collin had left with the thief.

Reginald knocked the thief that stabbed him unconscious and continued to stomp only stopping to plunge his blade into an oncoming thief's chest. Another bolt whizzed past Reinald, but missed. His shield arm had gone limp and numb. With what little strength and dexterity he had left in his shield hand he gripped the shield as tightly as possible and spun around in a circle gaining momentum and finally releasing the shield into one of the archers.

"Their bolts paralyze!" He deduced, "watch yourself lads!

Collin made a fierce charge threw the fireball, he knew how to take the hit in grace with his buckler, being raised around magic users has it's benefits. 

Collin knew he had to take the roguish mage first, so he attempted to charge through the three men. Even as strong as Collin was, he couldn't get past the three theives, and so they pushed him back. "Oh! Okay, you want a fight?!" Collin asked looking at the three, they seemed concern that he wasn't intimidated. "Then let's go." Collin said quietly.

He made his charge and bash one theif with his buckler, knocking him down. He then swung his sword at another, but he jumped back. The last one made a jump for his back, but Collin swiftly duck under him and used his shield to continue his flight, then making him smack on the floor.

The club man became enraged and kept trying to hit Alistar. But Alistar was too quick for him, he dodged his way around the club and behind the man.

"I imagine so, but I have a feeling he'll be very useful in our endeavor." Reginald answered the first question, and began the second.

"Yes I am an Adelunian knight. A vassal to lord Noland of the West End…" he was cut off however as the trio opened the door to the right. In front of them was a room with 8 thugs sat around a table. There was a tangible and awkward silence that filled the air. After a few uncomfortably long seconds one of the thugs stood up.

"Hey!"

The table of rogues sprung up 2 of them rushed to load crossbows 4 drew swords, one flipped through a spell book, and the last hefted a large club.

But it was seeping out of him at an immense rate to where it was hard to act happy at a time like this. He sat down and pulled his legs to his chest. "I guess that's it then. We're dead, he's over there out cold and I have no idea if there are any serious injuries. That's it, we're screwed." Alistar was starting to lose hope. He just couldn't hold on to the little he had left, even how much he tried to.

I feel dead. Was all Alistar thought at the moment, he felt like he was floating. Until he felt a tiny jerk what was like him being picked up. He then was jolted from this trance when he hit the floor. "Owwwwww! What happened!?" Alistar then remembered the gas. Where are we? The gas should've killed us, How are we alive? Alistar looked around and saw they weren't in the previous room. He saw Collin on the floor, looking hurt, and Noland's bodyguard on the floor completely out cold. "Okay soooooooooo, I'm guessing we survived……barely……..Yayyyyyyy…….." Alistar was starting to lose his bright attitude, his smile slowly fading.

"Crap!" Collin exclaimed seeing Reginald falling, but he took his orders. Collin dashed to Alistar, but stumbled more and more each step, "Focus Collin, Focus!" he yelled to himself attempting to snap out of his drowsiness.

He reached to Alistar, "Okay pretty boy, we need to go." He said to him as he picked him up, he seemed lighter than he looked. Collin the dashed back to the staircase, but his sight darken. "Stay awake damn fool!" he continued to yell to himself.

Collin finally entered the stairs, but tripped after the first step, dropping Alistar. Collin rolled down the stairs not able to catch himself, every step he bashed into was painful. He finally hit the end, "Oh gods that hurt." He said.

Reginald searches the statue feeling extremely woosy, but in his mad search, to his great relief, he found a switch. The statue began to move backward.

"Grab the man with the scythe." He said in a voice that betrayed how how woozy he had become. He feared he was next to pass out.

The statue had completed its move and revealed a decsending staircase. Reginald's fears were then realized and he passed out. His limp body fell down the stairs, and landed with a thud. Unconscious.

Alistar follows Collin's orders and checks the tapestries. Finding nothing out of the ordinary his body starts to shut down. "W-we have……..to get……..out………of……" Alistar slumps down the wall, unable to take anymore of the gas.

Collin became surprised by the Alistar's proclamation, "What?! Those cowards!" Collin shouted. But there was no time for insult now, He quickly scanned the room noticing the layout. "Uhh okay, Alistar! Check behind the tapestries by the podium! Reginald, you and I check this statue!" Collin shouted swiftly taking charge.

Why would a holy place make such a statue He thought to himself, thinking generally they would show a face to who they praise. Cloaked figures aren't seen as holy either, though this is his observation not exactly fact.

There it is! Wait………Alistar sensed something, he couldn't figure out what it was, until it hit him. "We have to get out of here now! There is gas coming from the walls! Hold your breath and search faster!" Alistar was hurrying as fast as he could, but with the gas and his weakened state because of it was making it harder. He was starting to see stars. W_what is happening?

Author: Noland, Posted: Tue Feb 28, 2017 6:42 PM, Post Subject: [O] A Late Start

Against the northern wall was a statue of cloaked figure whose face was hidden behind the hood, ruined pews were lined up in the center of the building. Worn tapestries hang from the wall behind a rotted wooden podium. 

As the group searched the room a faint sweet and spicy smell reminiscent of mustard or onions began to permeate the room.

"We should hurry" said Reginald, "I don't trust this smell."

[OOC Alistar, your sense notices that a gas is coming from holes in the wall.]

"Well, we all need to have a little fun! Useless bloodshed is the best way to do it! Whether human or beast I shall rip them apart!" Alistar exclaims with a passion, killing was his favorite past time. He sits down and puts his hands together, as if praying. If I use a bit of my power I should be able to sense the air flows to find the passage! It might take some time though. He continues to chant in a low voice, trying to pinpoint the passageway. He had done this many times before, but was somehow not able to find it. As he continues his search, he feels a shudder go down his spine. Something must be interfering.

"Yes sir." Collin responded, he then began searching the area. Collin decided to look behind curtains against the wall, "Maybe too obvious, but can't leave a stone not turned." He said to himself.

He kept a sharp eye on Alistar, his smile and anxiousness to kill made him uneasy. "Rip their throats out, yeash! we're running them out not killing them, I think." Collin asked himself, he has yet to kill a man. Though he has tried to kill beast at Parvpora villages, but local mages run them off or capture them before he could even strike them.

His eyes flowed with the movements of his wandering hand, something like a swordsman would follow. He had his other hand on his sheathed blade, ready for any surprises. Though he would get lost in thought, he once in awhile admire the patterns of the fabric, or even the busts that were very old and some shattered on the floored.

Reginald headed towards the ruined temple sword drawn, "Follow me everyone! We have lots of work to do!"

He entered the abandoned building and saw a neglected and empty sanctuary. The knight had a level head, and strong shoulders. His green eyes brimmed with a passionate fire for justice. He believed in Noland's cause whole heartedly, and was prepared to give his life for the sake of his city and country. 

Yet, there were. Thieves, ruffians, or scoundrels to be found.

"They must be hiding. Search for a secret entry!" He ordered as he began over turning dusty stone tables. He would find the men responsible for stealing life and property from his fellow adelucinans, and oust them like the rats they were.

Alistar smiles again. Loving the attention because he is usually surrounded with it. "More people! Hurray!" Alistar says with glee. Straining a bit with his overly large smile. "This will be so much fun! Let's go!" Alistar was just delighted with both the ability to rip off heads and entertain three people with it. He smiles innocently again and raises his scythe.

Collin looked at Reginald, "Pleasure to meet you, I am Collin." He said nodding back. Collin has never truly seen anyone that was or is a knight. "I hope I learn great things from you." Collin continued respectfully.

Nolan was glad the formalities were out of the way. He was ready to raid the ever loving shit out of this outpost. He turned to his new employees. 

"I have a knight who will arrive shortly" he said, "his name is Reginald and he is my bodyguard. He will be taking my place. I hope you will understand I'm not exactly fighting fit myself." He said gesturing to his girth. As he did so the knight in question rounded a corner.

"Ah there he is!" He announced, "my main man! You'll love him he's the best. Reginald nodded. He stood at 6'5" and was clad in well taken care of armor. His buckler seemed new, but his blade was old. It was just as taken care of as everything else, but age will always take its toll. The knight carried himself properly, and with purpose. He looked to the other two and nodded.

"Now" said Noland, "let's make Adeluna great again!" He said gesturing toward the abandoned temple. 

[OOC I will be playing as Reginald throughout the thief den, I will have a knight companion from the store as of the end of this post. I hope this doesn't bend the rules too much. I will make a new account if the mods have a problem with it.]

"Alistar! Alistar Evee!" Alistar says, all emotion gone except for his innocent smile. He knew not of who this man was but didn't need him to know anymore than that.

Collin took a look at Alistar's bone chilling scythe, "What was your name again?" The surprised man asked. He looked at his broadsword, "Well, we all have to start somewhere." He thought to himself.

"Purrrrrrrfect! I shall rip their throats out for you!" Alistar smiles innocently as his scythe appears out of thin air. It is a blade made of a pitch black metal with a black wooden handle. It is flowing with dark magic as Alistar's smile becomes creepier and creepier.

Collin was quite surprised by Noland accepting he had no magic, "I won't disappoint, that is a promise." Collin was gleeful at the turn in his life, Canelux gave him a warm welcome.

Author: Noland, Posted: Mon Feb 27, 2017 12:13 AM, Post Subject: [O] A Late Start

"We start right now!" Noland answered Alistar.

Noland began walking, checking his map every so often. He moved with purpose and determination. It was good that Alistar was creepily blood thirsty it made him a reliable asset as long as he was able to keep the man paid in gold and blood. He wasn't worried though as there would be plenty of both in the days to come. 

To the untrained eye it would seem Noland was lost, but the man was sharper than that. Even if he was lost he wouldn't admit to it. He was prouder than that as well, but no he wasn't lost. Noland eventually found the thief's lair

An abandoned temple sat behind an overgrown fence. Nolan pointed at the building.

"I am told they are over there." Said Nolan pointing toward the temple, proud of himself for helping.

He's so confusing. Why does he feel ashamed because he doesn't have magic. If anyone should feel ashamed of something it's me. Alistar pursed his lips, Thinking.

Noland was visibly disappointed, but he had hired him before he knew he was qualified for the position, so he smiled and said

"That's just fine. who needs magic? Steel's the best. I know it, and you obviously know it. That's why I hired you."

"Oh! S-sorry!" Alistar blushes and backs away. "Anyway there's no need. As long as you can swing a sword then I'll handle the rest!" he smiles again. "So when are we going?"

"I, I uh." He said very nervous, he then sighed knowing he won't be able hold his secret, "I don't know how to use magic…" He looked back at Alistar, "And personal space please." He said with an angered tone.

The satchel was surprisingly heavy and was filled with 100piece coins.

"My name is Noland Prumt, and we are going to make Adeluna City a better place to live once more." He paused momentarily, "I'm still working on the slogan."

He stuck his hand out to shake hands with his new employees.

"You got it! As long as there is something to kill I'm game!" with a smile on his face Alistar took the satchel and looked at the contents.

Noland looked around to make sure no one was watching. He had to be careful, no telling who would be listening in this part of town.

"The theives' guild has been a thorn in his City's side for too long, and nothing is being done about it. It's embarrassing. Now, I've good intel about a possible thief outpost. We're gonna start of strong and raid it. We've gotta send them a message that says we aren't gonna be messed with anymore."

He handed each of them a sachel filled with coins, "This is only half of the amount. You'll get the other half after the job is done. Understood?"

Sensing the mans uneasiness, Alistar frowns. Did I do something? Am I that bad at first impressions? This man is different, he's not like those drunks that are all over me. I wonder. "Yeah, I wanna know that too. What are we doing?" he continues to stare at the man while asking this.

The old man smiled at his two volunteers. He was glad for the quick response, "I can already tell you boys are the best. Follow me outside, and I'll brief you on what job I've got for you. It's tremendous."

He then strolled out of the tavern.

It was a long week for Collin, he was a knight in the continent of Parvpora, but the republics don't need a knight anymore. Magic, magic, magic, all they ever want, well then Canelux might have work, hopefully.

Took him awhile to reach the docks, then across the ocean, and then the famed Adeluna City. He asked where to fine a good bar nearby, "Hairy Lemon Tavern ya' best bet." a sailor said. So Collin began walking, entered the bar and some old man was making an announcement.

"…I can pay well and I can pay better. You can quote me on that. I need the best people. Now, I don't want any low energy adventurers on my payroll. You've got to be up to the task. It'll be dangerous not gonna lie, but with pockets like mine what else are you gonna do right?" said the man. "Well I'll be damn." Collin said under his breath, "I'm your man, right hear!" He yelled with a little eagerness and a hand raised.

Hmm, he had a point, he looked like he paid well. Alistar raises his arm and points at the man. "I'll help sir! It's not like I got anything better to do. I could also do with some useless bloodshed too." he gets up and apologizes to the many people begging him not to go. He walks over to the man and stands beside him.

Noland drank his ale as his steely eyes surveyed the patrons. None of them seemed particularly adventure worthy, but then again he was a man of high standards. Only took the best. No substitutions. He decided that the adevtuerers weren't about to jump out at him. He needed to make his presence known.

He stood up and cleared his throat, "Can I have your attention please!" His voice cut through the bar's many roaring voices, "I am looking to hire some adventurers. I can pay well and I can pay better. You can quote me on that. I need the best people. Now, I don't want any low energy adventurers on my payroll. You've got to be up to the task. It'll be dangerous not gonna lie, but with pockets like mine what else are you gonna do right?" 

He looked around to see if he had any takers.

Alistar sits there in the Hairy Lemon tavern, seducing men with his angelic looks and stealing all he can from them. What? He was a fallen angel, he couldn't do anything about his situation, so he uses his power to his advantage. As he is stealing a sack of money from a drunk patron he notices a man sitting at the bar. Old, age of around 70. Why would someone as old as him come to a run down place like this? Alistar thought. But he shrugged it off, it wasn't his job to worry about some old man.

Author: Noland, Posted: Sun Feb 26, 2017 6:52 PM, Post Subject: [O] A Late Start

Most would say that Noland Prumt was too old to make any difference in the world. Sure he was a noble, but he was 70 and had little experience with politics. He had done little with his status within the many years he's lived in the fine city of Adeluna City, but that didn't matter to him. Noland loved his city and his country, and wanted it to be the best he could make it. The king wasn't doing anything about it after all. His main concern at the moment was the theives' guild plaguing Adeluna City. He needed to assemble a task force of individuals to aid his efforts in eradicating the theives from his precious city. 

He wore a rather fetching noble man's outfit. His belly protruded a bit, but his clothes flattered his body type. checked his visage in the mirror before turning to the beautiful woman still in his bed.

"Well?" He asked, "how do I look?"

"Important, handsome, and powerful my love." She responded

He had aged relatively well, stood at a reasonable height of 5'7", and had a gorgeous wife, an elvish woman named Aweylyn. 

He smiled at his wife and said, "Today is the beginning of a better Adeluna."

He kissed his wife goodbye and headed out to recruit adventurers to aid him in his cause. It is this purpose in that brought him to the Hairy Lemon tavern. He figured it would be the best place to find an adventurer. He sat down at the bar and ordered an ale. Not what he usually drinks, but he needed to look like he could drink with the best of them. He scanned the bustling tavern and took in the culture and comraderie that had captured his heart as a child. He most certainly loved this city and the kingdom it resides in. He was ready to finally do his part.
