==Kira== Kira is not sure he is pleased when the woman appears, but he watches intently, determined to learn from the situation. he is keenly aware that it may now be more dangerous than ever before, though it is also far more interesting. If she looks at him he acknowledges her presence with a polite nod but gives no indication of wishing to become involved. "Pleasure to see you again." Edited by Beowulf, May 8 2011, 05:19 AM.

Infaeri glares daggers at Asv for a moment before deciding that if he wanted to summon her goddess then she may as well wait and see what would happen. Dedication of kills was still not something she was familiar with so this might be informative if nothing else. Asv still hadn't explained his plan, and Infaeri was more than a little sick of his self-righteous "I know best" talk, but it seemed wise to her to reign in her temper and let things play out for a minute. Kira had flip flopped like a fish while speaking to 22. One second it was kill him and the next he was offering the creature back his life. The indecision was most unattractive. Asv didn't seem to care about anything but their mistress, which was fine with Infaeri, but since she was the goddess of the dishonorable dead she was confused why Asv didn't want to kill 22. Asv didn't seem inclined to answer any questions. The only thing he seemed able to do was throw veiled insults and condemnations while summoning Hel. So much talk, so little action. I want to do, not negotiate. This is going to be the death of me. Infaeri waited for what would come next, leaning back against the wall, one foot planted on the floor the other to the wall, snapping her fingers while a tiny flame appeared and disappeared in her usual casual manner.

As Asv summons his Mistress, a small portal opens and a thin, short woman steps out. She casts a look of condemnation around to everyone before settling on Asv. "Asvaldr, do you think your Mistress so much the hound that you can summon her at a whim? To fetch your soul or another's like scraps cast to the mongrels at the table? You do not summon Her, She summons you. Do this again and you will find your Will once again tied". She looks at Fal and 22 in disgust. "Scraps indeed. Neither have the strength of Will to be of any use other than fodder. Our Mistress has enough fodder, She needs true warriors capable of Will and strength of arm. She will not take them". She turns to Kira. "Though you may belong to another, they are not so powerful as to deny Hel a request. Keep your people under control, or you may find that someone else will do it for you". She steps back into the portal before anyone can say anything. The portal closes. |

==Kira== Kira is unimpressed, "Asvaldr, who, pray tell, was that?" He sees Inferi in the corner and attempts to read her actions and emotions, before the summoning she seemed unimpressed, but now...? "It appears even your mistress wants me to take charge and take responsibility for the two of you..." What force in the cosmos deemed me suitable to be a glorified babysitter, and to such temperamental infants?... "Asvaldr, you had your chance, drop him. Inferi, allow the creature to make a decision. 22, Kill Fal and prove your worth and obedience to your commander or die, the choice is yours. If you do not, then Inferi will have the pleasure of slow roasting or flash frying the both of you." Kira digs his fingernails into his palms, I need something to kill... This is infuriating! |

22 was barely resistant as Asv pulled back his wings and pulled out his arm. Drawing blood was a small challenge. Asv had to shift a spike out of the way and sift through the thick golden fur. Finally, anything short of digging the dagger in about half an inch, was still skin. 22's thoughts were swimming again. A woman appeared and disappeared. 22 began to think we was hallucinating. Everyone else seemed to react to the person, but no one seemed happy. Finally, Kira ordered him to kill Fal once more. It was more of a twinge of memory than anything Kira said. 22 attempted once more to shoot Fal with his spikes Save vs Pain (1d20=8) Fail (do I get PE bonuses or something because I'm not makin these rolls) 22 let out another whimper of pain. "I can't release.... my spikes. Let me try..... detaching them." 22 slowly reached to his chest and drew a spike. He then reached out and held to spike high. He grit his teeth in an attempt to block the pain as he brought the spike down. How much longer would Infaeri be distracted he wondered. Save vs Pain (1d20=7) Fail (Nope no. I can only make the rolls thaqt get me INTO s$%t, not out of it.) Once again, the burn marks flared with pain, as if to stop him from killing Fal. 22 roared as it did, his arm tensing back,resistant to him bringing it down. His wings shot out scraping the ceiling, his spines all retracted and extended, but he couldn't fight through the pain. Finally he flopped to the side. "The.....aaaaaaaaaahhhh.....The pain.....If you....stop the pain I could.....Kkkkkkkkill Him!" (Just forget about the above text please.) Save vs Pain (1d20=7+8=15) Pass Strike (1d20=19) Damage (6d6=21) 22 waited a moment to see if Fal stirred. He didn't know if 8 spikes would be sufficient. Edited by Arthotus, May 8 2011, 03:05 PM.

Asv. reguards the figure "I would never summon her for my gain, nor would I ever think of her as a hound as you do, I only wish to give my mistress a gift for the gift she has given me." There is no emotion in his voice as he states this. Asv turns his head to Kira and only stares "You are mistaken if you think you are good enough to will my mistress's power." he says "Your people are here." He gestures to the two figures on the floor. "Why don't you break them, make them into soldiers that will not question? This one already seems willing..." He moves away from the two. "A General is nothing more then a man without his men to back him up. You have an war upon you... A war I believe you have started..."

Infaeri stares curiously at the figure that had appeared. So Hel does not want 22 or Fal. Not that I blame her. Doesn't mean I can't kill them anyways, but it would seem a bit more pointless now. This was supposed to be cut and dried and has been anything but. The figure disappeared again and she regarded 22 and Fal on the floor. Well that settles that. Although, I don't think I like the idea much of letting these two live after a situation like this. Infaeri pushes off the wall again and stands with her hands behind her back, feet spread apart a bit, looking relaxed. "After a situation like this I do not think letting 22 live will be good for my health. He is likely to come after me, so you will excuse me if I don't want to just let him kill Fal and re-join the group. You have done next to nothing this whole time and now you want to bark orders. The assignment in Rome is finished and I will make my own decision in this. You may want to spare him and look to be the good guy, but this was your idea and he now sees us as the enemy. I don't intend to go down later for this." |

==Kira== Kira observes 22 while he responds to Asv. "You speak out of blatant ignorance, so hold your tongue." the irritation in his voice mounts. "This will be a war I was pulled in to. I was forced to this planet and cohersed in to working for the creature who wanted the book when he threatened our lives. Either way, now I am still alive, I would be long dead had I not co-operated. I have little regard for this world so long as I continue to exist. Finally he addresses both Inferi and Asv. "Now it appears even this woman who appeared in order to tell us how displeased your mistress is when you failed to summon her has inferred that you are under my jurisdiction. Hold your tongue and show some respect or there will be consequences, your mistress comes across as even less tolerant and more powerful than I am. I am not as fond of her as you are, but I still would not want to displease her. The creature may be irritated with you, but you were the one who struck preemptively when I simply told you to wait at the ready. That is your concern, not mine. If he fulfills my requests then he has proven his value and shall live. We have need of strength, and he has strength. We have need of loyalty, and he seem to have exponentially more loyalty than the two of you put together. Fal was incapable of working as a part of a team, now he will die. If we can not work as a team then myself or your mistress are the least of our worries, without each others support we are all likely to die in this upcoming conflict."

22 glances over to make sure Infeari was still distracted. More spikes slowly slid into place on his forearm. He attempted to fire them once more. Save vs Pain (1d20+8=16) Success! Strike (1d20=16) Damage (6d6=22) 22 relaxed slightly. Surely that would be enough. Fellow experiments could usually take such damage with ease, but normal people seemed far more fragile. 22 hadn't really had that much experience with normal people, but Master had said something about a 53% fatality rate after one volley. |

Asv. listens to Kira, "My mistress ordered me to work for your master, not for you. I am willing to work as a team but you do not hold my reins." He says, his voice even, though he was enjoying the irritation in Kira's voice; searching for that small crack in one armor, he was starting to think he might have seen Infeari's. He looks down as 22 hit Fal again. "I sensed this creature had some value that might prove useful to the cause, both of them." |

==Kira== "That one lying on the ground bleeding had a chance to justify his existence, and he failed. He failed me, and he failed 22." Kira watches as the spikes fly. "He could have been valuable but evidence suggested that in the end he would have been more destructive than beneficial. We can not afford hindrances. "As for your orders, I am the only liaison to my master, and until that changes, you work for me in his stead or you go back to your mistress and explain why you disobeyed her orders. Are we clear?" |

Asv. only stares at Kira, he had done nothing to disobey his mistress, in fact taking this little side trip was more of a disobedience then anything; her direct words being to build weapons. But Kira's letter had said that these two had threatened his mistress and yet neither of them seemed capable of any such feat. The more he was around them the more he learned. Asv. makes a strange sound something that could have been a growl or a short laugh. He steps aside and holds a hand out, gesturing to Fal "Then by all means... Lead us. Set an example with your own hand. You said it yourself that this... 22 has proved his worth and the night grows short." His gaze never leaves Kira. |

"Talk, talk, talk. You speak of this creature's loyalty, yet he tries to kill his friend to save his own life in the blink of an eye. Well I for one am sick of this conversation and if Hel does not want either then I see no more reason to kill either. This "punishment" is over as far as I am concerned." Infaeri moves protectively in front of Fal. "I'm surprised since you like to talk so much that this one's intelligence is not of some appeal. She looks at 22. "Do not fire again. If we really must stand together against the coming hoard, then this will not do. I do not intend to follow a leader that enforces his orders this way." |

==Kira== Kira's eyes do not waver and he mentally sighs while maintaining an un-moving exterior, what has brought me to having to deal with this...? "I will not lower myself to disposing of the likes him when it can be done for me. If you will not follow me then you may return to Hel and explain why you have defied her. I am sure she will understand. As far as I am concerned 22 has proven his loyalty. Must I now question yours? You are both so promising and undeniably powerful, it would be a shame to lose you, yet I will not hold you on a leash. It seems your mistress wishes you to work with me, though I can't fathom what her goals are. Once Fal has been dispatched of I will see about tending 22's wounds, he has proven himself most admirably. For now, I will have your answer. Will you follow me? If not then leave now and do not look back. I am sure we will cross paths again. If you do not believe that your mistress has placed you under my leadership then I hold any prior obligations you may have had fulfilled." |

22 looked up at Infeari, confused. He was supposed to kill Fal so that he could bring him outside, and now he was supposed to stop. They seemed like conflicting orders. Usually conflicting orders meant you take priority over the newest, so 22 would stop until Kira told him to kill Fal again. but she had only told him not to kill Fal. Which means he still had orders to take Fal out of the building. Save vs Pain (1d20+8=28) NAT 20! 22 stood slowly. "Please move," he asked politely. "I must still bring the body outside." |

Asv. regards Kira for a moment crossing his arms in front of him, his skeletal arms stop moving and drive their blades into the floor. "I did not say that I would not follow or work as a team." There is something in his voice that sounds different, like he had come to a conclusion or achieved something. "In fact I would enjoy serving along side you." Asv. picks up Fal while Infaeri has 22's attention, he slings him over his shoulder and approaches Kira again. "Now that we know where we stand... Shall we start anew?" He offers a hand shake to Kira and waits for him to take it or not, before heading to the stairs. "Now, lets get your men patched up, before there is nothing left to patch." |

22 attempts 2 get past infaeri. "Are you taking him outside? I need to take him outside!" his ears flattened back and he looked much like a dog whose was sad o see someone leaving with it's favorite toy. |

Infaeri gently holds her hands up as if to calm 22. "Stand down." she told him. "Asv will take him where he needs to go." She looked to Asv and gave a nod to show that she agreed with her. Looking at Kira she said, "You being the leader of this group is fine with me, but I am no one's lackey. I answer to Hel alone. She is my only master. I will not contend that you are to lead, but that does not make you better than us. From what I have seen of your "leadership" so far, I wonder about your particular style. It would seem you are not ready to do your part. Issuing orders is easy." |

==Kira== Kira becomes alert when the mysterious Asv. offers to shake his hand, of course he can't be trusted, none of us can. He shakes the hand. "Well, now that that's settled, I'll do my part. Please place that on the ground over here," he motions to Fal. "The first thing you learn when you are an assassin is: make sure they are dead. I intend to check his vitals, and if he is still alive I will finish him myself." |

Asv. re-guards Kira for a moment, "I have no doubt of your skills, Kira." He says "But we start clean this night... all of us. Besides, there are still weapons and armor to make and I have a feeling this one might come in handy for that." |

==Kira== "And after he re-gains consciousness do you really think he will be inclined to work with those who tried to kill him? You are young so you must be naive, but when you try to kill someone always finish the job." Unless anyone stops him Kira takes out his dagger and gives Fal a nice, deep red smile. "Anything short of that and they are likely to return the favor with a bullet in your back or poison in your cup." He says as the blood pools on the floor. |

Infaeri steps in front of Kira to stop his move to kill Fal. "That may be, but as Fal knows very little of what transpired here. He was knocked out with the gas at the beginning of everything. The gas can easily be explained away. Either way, all your talk about working together against the coming threat won't mean beans if we start off by killing a member of our party. Missing a meeting is hardly a capital offense. I agree with Asv. Clean slates from here." |
