OOC: I'll still keep the previous RP open while we're in the event and for 24 hours for the sake of allowing retroactive RPs, but Shrimp brought up the idea of doing the next RP while the event is going on. This will help new members join in without being forced to participate in the event. Characters currently in the event will still use this RP once the event is over, but for now, if you need to RP your character's entrance but can't/don't want to fight, start here.

"Is it alive?" asks a young boy of his older brother.
The brother responds, "How should I know?"
"Go poke it and see!"
"You poke it!"
"No, I dare you to poke it! I'm oldest, so what I say goes!"
The younger boy ventures out from behind a bush and sneaks towards the tall, motionless figure. He slowly raises his arm and pokes the bluish-gray clad being, then runs away as fast as he can.
XEQ turns its head toward the boys, who are cowering behind the bush. It reaches back into its quiver and takes an arrow, which it notches into its bow. Aiming for the bush, XEQ draws back the bowstring.
The children flee, screaming.
XEQ nods, putting the arrow back. It then marches down the road toward the Mercenary Guild building, which it enters.
The archer approaches the desk behind which sits the receptionist.
She looks at the stranger, puzzled. "Are you here to join the Guild?"
It nods.
"Clark and his band are out fighting right now. You can wait here for them," she explains.
The mysterious being nods again, but takes no further action. apparently content to stand in front of the desk until the end of time.

[size=20]Lug[/size]

During the day, their appearance was that of an everyday commoner, albeit one dressed mostly in black; at night, their appearance did not exist. The small band of thieves shuffled inconspicuously through the streets of the town, making note of store locations and wares for sale.

Lug's armor clinked as he walked, much to the chagrin of his companions. None of them understood how one could be a thief while wearing a suit of armor, but he was really more of a guard anyway. Nonetheless, he still received his fair share of the spoils at the end of a night. The gem he had his eyes on was not one of material worth, though; rather, it was a young girl with red braids dressed in the robes of a cleric of Elimine.

Lug licked his lips. She's mine tonight.


[size=20]Byron's group (Alice and Lou)[/size]

It just so happened that the cleric that Lug had his eyes set on was a girl by the name of Alice, the official healer, cook, and executor of most other motherly duties in the clan known as Byron's Fury. Byron and most of the others were out on assignment quelling a rebellion for one of the nobles to the west; however, their payment for a previous job was supposed to arrive in the town's market today, so Alice was left behind to pick it up, with Lou to look after her. Lou was such a clumsy oaf, though, that the reverse was equally true.

"Good day, Lum," Alice said to the trader as she entered her tent.

"Ah, Alice, good to see you!" Lum replied cheerfully. "Yours is the one on the left."

Alice walked towards the box that Lum had pointed out and picked it up, surprised by how light it was. Her curiosity piqued, Alice opened the box and peered inside. There were two shining gems of pure snow-white and a figurine of an ancient goddess.

"Oh, by the way, thissun's yours too, dear," Lum said, pulling a large mallet from the back of the tent. "Y'may want to have young Lou carry it, though," she said with a wink.

With a grunt, Lou hefted the mallet, staring at the thick head with disdain. "Never quite understood how *ungh* Byron could every kill anything with *grh* these damned lumps of iron," he said, sighing under the hammer's weight as they walked.

"Oh, stuff it, Lou," Alice scolded. "Let's go to Tauskeli's and get a drink while we wait for the others to get back!"

"Aren't you a little young to be drinking, Alice?"

"Lighten up and grow a pair, you old codger!" She punched him on the shoulder lightly and winked. "I'll even let you buy me a drink, if you ask nicely."

Lou rolled his eyes. "Some reward. Hey, hey! I'm coming, I'm coming!" he said, trying to keep up with Alice as she ran.

"At your service."

[size=7]Vastian[/size]

The door to the Guild Hall slams against the wall, rattling in its hinges. An armored figure filled the doorway, an axe slung over his shoulder.

Blonde hair, pale-skinned, a bit on the tall side, and armed with a hard, intimidating glare. He was angry about something, that much was clear. The door slamming shut again as he entered the building reinforced this assumption. He stepped forward slowly, sizing up the tall stranger that obscured his view of the desk. He approached warily, but, realizing he wasn't getting any reaction out of the stranger, he grunted and took a seat against the wall. The receptionist leaned out of her chair to get a look of the man who just entered, and motioned for him to come forward.

"I've no business with you, woman. I'm here to see Clark, and Clark alone." He gave his reply and broke eye contact, settling into his seat. He crossed his arms and stared up at the ceiling, his right hand clenching and releasing sporadically.

[size=14]Kalee[/size]

Trodding along slowly down the path Kalee reread the directions that the kind innkeeper had given her back in town. She had been on the road for a year now, not something you would find any typical 14 year old child doing. Running low on money she decided to join a mercenary guild she had heard about at the same inn. Not only would the extra gold help but a hot meal sounded good as well.

"That must be it!" Kalee exclaimed as she ran the rest of the way. Bouncing up the steps she pushed open the door and waved to the nice lady at the desk. Walking with enthusiasm to the desk, "Errr, excuse me..." She said to the receptionist while staring at the black robed figure. "This is Clark's place right? I'm looking to sign-up!"

"Aren't you a bit young, sweetie?" The puzzled receptionist asked.

"I may be young but I least I don't look like this weird-o." She proclaimed while looking at the strange man-thing again.

Ignoring that comment the clerk continued, "He's currently out at battle, you'll have to wait here at the guild."

"Neat-o! A real battle! This place is gonna be great!"

XEQ remains standing as an angry axe-wielder and a girl enter the room. It does not respond to either entrant at first.
During the course of her conversation with the receptionist, the girl calls XEQ a weird-o.
It slowly turns its head to look at her. After a few moments apparently staring at her, the creepy being shakes its head dismissively, then returns to its imitation of a pillar.

"Hey you!" She shouted. "I saw that! You got something to say, bub?" Kalee inquired as she stomped towards the robed figure. "You wanna fight or something? I'm not scared of you!" Reaching out to poke him she got a chill up her spine.
Instead she balled up her fist and waved it menacingly at him.
"Yeah that's right. See these muscles? I'll bash ya good!"

XEQ looks at the girl, who seems to be challenging it. It waits to see if she will back down.
Instead, she shakes her fist at him and makes some comment regarding her muscles.
It shrugs, then nods, pointing to the door. It has no qualms about fighting with little girls. There are plenty of healers in the world, and even if she does die, that's one fewer annoyance.
It walks out of the building and waits outside in the street.

Chasing him out door, Kalee removed the bow and string from her sack and tossed it aside, "This is gonna be a quick fight, I'm the best with a bow!" Quickly stringing her polished bow she removed on arrow from her quiver and pulled it back as far as she could manage.
Releasing the string the arrow whizzed through the air and landed only a few inches from the figure's feet. If he was worried Kalee couldn't tell by his body language or his face, if he even had one that is.
"This one won't be a warning! You better be quick on your feet!" She strung another arrow and quickly fired it off...

The girl runs out and fires a "warning arrow" at the ground in front of XEQ.
It nods, and as she fires again, it draws an arrow of its own and loads it into the bow.
Before it can fire, her arrow hits XEQ in the leg. This causes it to drop its own arrow. With barely a moment's hesitation, it yanks the arrow from its leg and fires that arrow back at the girl, aiming for her head.

Grunting as she jumped to the side Kalee was grateful that the arrow missed, although it was a close one.
"Playing to kill, are we? Then I won't hold back!"
She pulled two more arrows from the quiver on her hip and fired them both in rapid succession. Looking for cover Kalee dived to the side.
This guy is good, I need to be careful.

XEQ watches as she avoids the arrow, then launches two more of her own. It turns to the side, allowing one arrow to pass, though the other one hits it in the shoulder.
It reaches behind its back and pulls two arrows from its quiver. It loads both arrows into the bow and fires.
Though this looks quite impressive, one of the arrows flops to the ground a few feet away, leaving only one headed for XEQ's opponent.

Kalee was initially oblivious to the sharp pain as she tried to dodge again. But the warm trickle of blood made her realize that she had been hit.
Nothing too serious but it could be potentially dangerous if it bled too much or got infected. Snapping the arrow shaft on one side she pulled out the arrow head through the other.
"Ouch... That really hurt.." she said with a single tear rolling down her cheek.
She wrapped her leg with her hair bow after wiping away her tear. She was already small, she didn't want him thinking she weak as well.
"A-Alright, alright... You win... Can you fix this please? It stings a whole lot."

The arrow hits the girl in the leg. XEQ watches her remove it, unsure whether another arrow will be needed.
She calls off the fight, asking for assistance.
XEQ looks around, then realizes she is actually asking the one who inflicted the damage to repair it. It shrugs and shakes its head, not having any way to do so. She'd be better off calling for a healer herself.

NROOC:
Me: Should I have a generic nameless healer pop up, or does somebody have one in the area? Maybe that Alice person?

OOC: Sorry, Buggums, but the Guild isn't in town, so there's no way Alice and Lou would see them (or even hear them, really). If you need healing badly, Melanie, the Guild receptionist, keeps a stock of healing items (read: vulneraries and antitoxins) at her counter.

[size=20]Lug[/size]

Deciding he had seen enough, Lug returned through the shadows to the rundown shack that the band of thieves was occupying temporarily during their stay in the town. He walked through the musty timber frame and pushed aside a sheet to reveal the back room, where the other four thieves were sitting playing a game of cards. One of them, the leader, looked up at him.

"Well?" he asked impatiently. "What's the report?"

"Two gems, a figurine, and one hell of a mallet, Jack."

Jack's mouth cracked into a long, thin grin. "Well done, Lug. They'll fetch a pretty penny. If you don't mess up, I might even let you keep that oversized hammer you're drooling over."

Lug nodded, then took his place in the circle. There was a spot in the middle where the floor had been dug up; it was in this patch up dirt that Jack traced out their plan using his knife.

"No? Fine, then. I think I might still have a little bit of a medicine anyway." Opening the drawstring pouch on her hip, Kalee pulled out a small vial. Shaking it lightly she was glad to discover it still had a few doses left.
Pulling away the makeshift bandage she poured a little on her wound and stretched out her leg, "Much better!"
Standing up she held out the vial, "That looks like it hurts." She said looking at the figures shoulder. "Do you need some of this?"

XEQ watches as she uses some vial to heal herself.
She then looks at its shoulder and comments upon the arrow there, offering some of the medicine.
XEQ had forgotten about that arrow, which it now pulls out and drops on the ground. It shakes its head to the girl, starting to walk back to the building. It needs no healing. In fact, the medicine might do more harm than good. Who knows what that stuff is made of?
The tall archer reenters the Guild building and returns to its standing vigil before the desk.

The remaining bandits fled after Klebosk's body gave out from the final jolt of thunder. Clark pulled a cloth from his pocket and wiped the blades of his weapons and put them away, taking special care to strap his new axe across his back.

"That's two successful runs in a row, guys," Clark said, speaking to the entire group as they walked back to town. "We'll head back to the Guild and give Melanie our report, then we'll head to Tauskeli's." Clark flashed a grin. "Drinks are on me tonight!"

Serena

Serena whistled as she headed back to the base with the rest of the mercenaries, happy that the job got done and even happier she wasn't dead because of it. Getting shot that many times was something she generally liked to avoid. But hey she was perfectly fine, barring a couple of scars and scratches, so it was all good. That sword she had bought really served her well, even though it was beginning to look worse for wear. 'Hmmm...wonder what else we're gonna come across. Hope they aren't all that dangerous for me.'

She then heard Clark say something about free drinks and her expression immediately brightened, a wide smile on her face. "Whoo, all right, boss! Now that's the way to get into our hearts!"

'I am gonna get wasted!'

Valentia

A young woman with a red headband strolled the streets, humming a song as she looked around. A short, intricately designed axe hung from her waist and her outfit and skin color told passerby that she spent much of her time on the sea. Unfortunately for her, her ship needed repairs and most of her cash had been spent on that. Her crew was probably carousing in some random tavern, but she needed to find a quick job or two to do before setting off again.

"Hey...what's this?" She saw a posted notice on a board, a little worn and ragged meaning that it's been up for a while. "Mercenary work, eh? Well...I guess it's not really much different from what I do now. Might as well take a look."

She immediately set off for the guild hall and greeted the receptionist. "Are there still openings for this mercenary group? Thought I'd try to test my luck."

[size=7]Brianna[/size]

Trudging back from the battle, Brianna was unusually dour. Normally she would have been right up with the group attacking the enemy leader, but she'd hung back this time, her enthusiasm for fighting greatly diminished. She wondered if the nightmare was to blame but dismissed it almost immediately; she had had that nightmare for years and it never stopped her from loving her job as a soldier. Staring at the ground, she walked and tried hard not to let her misery show to the others.

It wasn't until Clark mentioned free drinks that Brianna perked up a little. All soldiers drank their weight in beer and ale and she bet she could drink at least half of the others under the table. And, of course, where there's drink, there's drinking games; good opportunities for taking money off of the people she'd gotten stupidly drunk.

Maybe this day won't turn out so bad after all.

(OOC: And her lack of enthusiasm is totally not because I was on holiday and then too damn lazy, totally not.)

"Drinks are on me tonight!"

Might as well throw me in a river. I'm not touching alcohol after the last time. Three days of food thrown up in one hit? Not fun. Besides, I prefer to be sober for my bar fights. Give me a glass of water and leave me in peace.

On the march home, Jabin busied himself healing minor wounds of others. He liked this much more than the actual fighting. Hmm, perhaps I should ask Clark if I can be a healer and support, instead of going on missions like this... I'm not much of a help, beyond my healing... As he was lost in thought, he soon noticed that he was falling behind from the main group. He ran forward to catch up, and noticed the female soldier (Brianna, was it?), who was at the back of the group, seeming a little distant. Without giving himself time to think about it and back away, he tried to launch a conversation. "H-hey, you seem a little off right now... is something amiss?"

Brianna blinked and mentally shook herself, turning her head to look at the sage properly. He looked like someone who was in need of relaxing, and a good ale was just the way to do it, in Brianna's opinion.

"Nah, I'm good. Didn't you hear what Clark said? Free drinks tonight! Time to drink the sissy men of the group under the table while I'm still downing the shots."

Grinning wildly with a mischievous look in her eye, she grabbed Jabin by the arm and pulled him along.

"And I've decided that you're going to be my first drinking partner of the night, whoever you are. Well, after we check up on the Guild that is."

Well, anyway, I'm Jabin. You're... Brianna, right? I'm no good with names, but I think I heard yours earlier today..." He looked away from her, a little embarassed for no reason he could figure out, and instead started looking ahead, towards the town.

Brianna raised an eyebrow right back at Jabin, both amused and puzzled by his answer.

"Seriously? I don't find drunk people at all entertaining when relatively sober. In my experience, of which I have a lot, it's really only drunk people that find other drunk people amusing, as everything that would normally be embarrassing or annoying becomes funny under a cloud of alcohol and stale peanuts."

As she talked, Brianna felt a weight lift from her shoulders, becoming more and more her happy, energetic self. Winking at Jabin, she formulated a plan in her head for some entertainment later on in the pub.

"Well, then, mister I-prefer-to-watch-others-drink, you can watch me out-drink the rest of this sorry lot and whoever else happens to be in the pub at the time. And, who knows? Maybe a mighty sage like yourself will learn something from a little-ole soldier like me."

"W-well, I do tend to get drunk from what I do drink. Seems kinda silly not to. I just don't have the best of tolerances... but, if you still want me for a drinking buddy, I'd be happy to oblige." He thought about pointing out mighty certainly wasn't the best word to describe him, but decided against it. "Besides, free drinks are free drinks, I suppose."

"You do your father a disservice, Isaac," said general Ross. "Such cowardice is a stain on your family line."

Isaac didn't look at him when he responded. "I don't think of it as cowardice; I think of it as survival."

"But you know the ways of our military. We fight to the last man, and do so with honor. Your tactics, while effective, were ju--"

"What's that?" Isaac cut him off. "You said they were effective, did you not?"

"Yes, but--"

"Then what seems to be the problem?"

Ross scowled, then checked his temper. "Your methods are unacceptable Isaac, and you know this. What would your father say?"

"Again with my father. Why do you have to bring him into everything?" Isaac demanded harshly.

"He was a true wyvern knight, Isaac. I fought alongside him in many battles; you could stand to learn something from his example."

"I do whatever it takes to defeat my opponent, and retreat when I can't," Isaac said coolly. "I think I've learned quite a bit from his mistakes."

Without waiting for Ross's reply, Isaac stormed out of the room. Not that it mattered; Ross was at a loss for words. "Such a young commander, yet he is already far more cynical than those twice his age..."

"Daddy, where are you going?"

Levange Vergant, a brigadier-general in Bern's army, stopped strapping on his greaves and looked up to see his son standing in the doorway, staring at him intently, the wooden sword in his hand forgotten.

Levange smiled and tousled his son's hair. "Daddy has to go fight so that the bad men don't hurt the poor villagers."

"But why don't they fight, daddy?" protested the boy. "Why do you?"

"Because it is the duty of those who fight to protect those who cannot, Isaac," he responded, straightening up a little. "Someday you will learn about knighthood and honor. You too, Jason," he added, noting the arrival of another boy to the house, also carrying a wooden sword. This one was not interested in the knight, but rather showed impatience towards his companion.

"C'mon, Isaac, you can't run off just because I'm beating you!"

"Stow it, Jason, we both know I was gonna win!"

Their squabbling quickly escalated into more practice duels. Levange chuckled, remembering when he acted that way. He kissed his wife goodbye, mounted his wyvern Devas, and rode off to the temporary army base.


----------------------------------------------------------------------

It was a familiar scene: once again, Levange was called into duty. This time, however, was no laughing matter. Rather than bandits, Levange and his unit were assigned to crush a small group of fighters that had started in Lycia and were opposing the king. Levange checked to make sure that his armor was all in proper condition, sharpened his spear, and headed for the door.

"Good luck, father," came a voice from the den.

Levange poked his head through the doorway to see his son sitting in a chair reading through the works in the family library.

"Thank you, Isaac. Make sure you return those to the libra--"

"Do come home in one piece, will you?" interrupted Isaac.

"I shall try, Isaac."

"None of this 'fight to the last man' business."

"You know the army's policy."

"It's a load of horse dung, if you ask me."

Levange sighed. "I had hoped that you would understand the philosophy of the knights by now. You're almost fifteen years old, Isaac; haven't the teachings of the military academy done anything for you?"

Isaac closed the tome before him. "Father, I am very pragmatic in my approach to strategy, and I do believe you are much more useful when you are breathing than when you are not. Do you dispute this?"

"No, son, but y--"

"Then promise me you won't do anything foolish."

Levange grimaced. "I can't make you that promise, son."

When Isaac did not respond, Levange made his way outside, where he and Devas left to fight on the frontlines.

Isaac saw an ant pulling an ant that was missing three legs across the floor. He picked up his book and smashed them both against the floor. "That's what happens. To hell with your honor."

The group wasted no time in making their way back to the Guild, where there were three new arrivals waiting for them.

"Great success, cleared 'em out, gonna go drink, bye!" he said quickly to Melanie in one breath.

"You, you, and you," Clark said, pointing to each of the three newbies, "come with us; there'll be time for talk later."

Most of the mercenaries seemed to be energized by the offer of free beer; the time it took to get to the pub seemed almost nonexistant. The entire group walked in, and Clark saluted Tauskeli. "My good man, beer for all my men!"

The group sat down at a long table together and before long, each had a mug in front of them. Clark raised his mug in a toast. "To victory!"

When the mercenaries finally return to the Guild building, XEQ is still standing motionless before the desk. It hears the apparent commander announce their success and then invite the "newbies" along to the pub.
XEQ bows to the man and follows obediently. During the short walk, it observes the other mercenaries, noting the rather large number and the diversity. Ignoring the questioning looks of the others, it walks slowly so as to be in the back of the group.
Upon reaching the pub, it pauses outside for a moment. It isn't much of a drinker. But everybody else is entering and it was invited, so it follows suit.
The commander orders beer for all from the man behind the bar and sits at the head of a long table. Mercenaries fill the seats at random, eager to drink.
XEQ waits until all others have sat, then takes the final seat, sitting up just as straight as it stands. It glances at the mug placed before it, but doesn't touch it, preferring instead to watch the others.

"To victory!"

I should probably make a point of telling them I don't drink alcohol... On the other hand, I suppose a few sips won't hurt...

Myke raised his mug in a toast as well, though his was a more half-hearted toast. He was more interested in the people; this was the first time he'd seen a few of them. one was another girl, one was an armoured axeman, but the third intrigued him. He wore nothing but black robes and what looked to be a helmet. What surprised Myke most, though, was his apparent lack of eyes.

Oh well, as long as his aim with that bow is good, I suppose his eyes don't matter. Wonder where he's from, though... never seen anyone like him...

[size=7]Brianna[/size]

Brianna joined in the toast and took a sip of beer, finding it to be of average quality. Taking another small gulp, she decided that if she wanted better alcohol, she was obviously going to have to get it herself.

Glancing around, she spotted a group of lively men with shots on the table in front of them. Formulating a plan, she decided to see if the old tricks still worked on people. She snatched Jabin's mug from in front of him before he could take a drink from it.

"Sorry, Jabin, but I'm gonna have to borrow this. I'll be back in a couple of minutes."

Standing up quickly, she took her and Jabin's beer over to the group of men she'd spotted earlier. Sitting down in the midst of their whistles of appreciation for her looks, she smiled at each one in turn.

"Hey, boys. I was wondering if you'd like to make a bet with me..."

The guys were quite obviously already drunk and were happy to agree to this before even finding out what the bet was.

"Okay, well, I bet a round of drinks for me and my friend over there," Brianna pointed over to Jabin, "That I can drink these two beers here before you - yes, you over there - can drink that one shot in front of you."

All of them guffawed, thinking it impossible for Brianna to do such a thing. Her smile brightened as she realised she already had them hooked.

"There are some rules of course. We're only allowed to touch our own glasses. So I can only touch my beer glasses and you can only touch your shot glass, so that we can't tamper with the other person's drinks. And, to make this fair, I get to drink one of my beers and put it on the table before you touch your shot. If either of us breaks the glass touching rule, we forfeit the bet and have to buy the other a round of drinks. That sound fair to you guys?"

The guys looked at each through beer-lidded eyes, thinking the bet Brianna proposed could only go in their favour, even if she did drink a pint of beer first. They happily agreed to her terms, expecting a round on drinks on her.

So Brianna took up her first glass from the table and drank it down in one go, certainly a lot slower then a guy could drink a shot. She then placed the glass down... upside down over the guy's shot that is. By the time he realised that he'd been duped, that he could not touch her glass and therefore could not get to his shot, Brianna was downing her second beer. Placing the second empty glass down, she grinned as the group laughed, realising they'd just been suckered but finding it all good fun.

"I'll take a kamikaze cocktail - don't worry, the barman will know what that is - and a... uh, actually, make that two kamikazes."

Still laughing, the guy who had failed to drink the shot stood up and made his woozy way to the bar and paid for the drinks. Thanking him with a flirtatious smile, Brianna took both glasses back to the long table and placed one of the cocktails in front of Jabin before starting to sip her own.

"Told ya it'd take two minutes. Though, to be perfectly honest, I wasn't sure that that trick would work, it's one of the oldest ones in the book!"

Jabin watched as Brianna introduced herself to the drunks and waved when she motioned to him. It was pretty funny watching them fall for a trick even he knew, despite being the terrible drinker he was. She walked back triumphantly. "Told ya it'd take two minutes. Though, to be perfectly honest, I wasn't sure that that trick would work, it's one of the oldest ones in the book!"

"Guess it's a bit to old for them. So, I couldn't hear. What did you get in return?"

Drinking a bit more of her cocktail as Jabin talked, she appraised it. She found it a little bit too bitter then she usually liked; probably a little too much lemon juice. But, otherwise, it was pretty damn good, and had much more a kick to it then beer. She grinned at Jabin who still hadn't touched his.

"It's a kamikaze. Go on, try it. I guarantee that it'll blow your socks off."

Still drinking her cocktail, she went back to looking around the pub, trying to find her next marks for the night. Next time she'd go for a slightly less known trick.

Jabin took a sip, surprised by the taste. He wasn't used to much more than beer and win, though he found he liked it, despite the vodka, which he wasn't particularly fond of. "Ooh, this is good." He took another sip and watched as the soldier appraised more targets. "So where did you learn so many drinking tricks? Judging by how you're looking around, you've got a lot in line for these people tonight..."

Not spotting any likely targets for the moment, Brianna turned back to Jabin and smiled slyly.

"I used to be an ordinary soldier in a proper army, Jabin. How do you think I afforded real drinks on a private's wage? They don't exactly pass out the gold, ya know. You learn to pick up tips from the vets on how to get your hands on free alcohol or you only drink piss-poor beer."

Spotting a group of people entering the pub, Brianna surreptitiously watched them from the corner of their eye. They were already a little drunk, and the group consisted of one man and three women, a great target group. It should be easy enough to dupe a guy who is trying to impress the ladies.

”Those people that just walked in, they’re next. After I’ve finished this drink of course. What would you like this time?”

Clark drank his first two beers quickly; he'd been at Tauskeli's far too often for two to have any effect on him. As he began his third, he noticed Brianna's trick. Once the lightweights start dropping off, we'll have the old man bring out the good stuff.

Jabin thought about it as he finished his drink. "Uh, what say you pick? I'll have an adventure tonight." He felt surprisingly sober, considering the vodka he just drank. Guess after that stay up north I can take more alcohol than I used to... well, all the better. I get the strangest feeling I'm going to be having quite a few tonight...

Finishing off the last of her cocktail, Brianna went up the bar and ordered a shot, on Clark's tab of course, and proceeded to her new mark's table. Smiling at the women she struck up a conversation, putting them at ease before striking in with the start up of the con.

"I have a proposition for you. I bet a round of drinks that I can drink this shot in front of me from underneath your hat, without touching the hat at all. If I can do it, he has to buy us all drinks, if I can't then I'll buy you all a round."

The women looked at her with disbelief, but they were all tipsy enough to laugh and take up her challenge, especially since it was the guy who would be paying. Not wanting to look bad to his ladies, he also agreed to the bet right away. They placed the hat over the shot glass and waited for her to move. Picking up a straw that she'd also taken from the bar earlier, Brianna slid it under the hat and slurped for a few seconds before moving the straw and away.

"Right, that'll be a screwdriver cocktail for me and my friend over there, who I'm afraid I've been neglecting, and whatever else you all want to drink. Enjoy yourself, because it's all on him, right ladies?"

The guy stuttered and proclaimed disbelief that she'd actually drunk the shot from under the hat and lifted it up to check... whereupon Brianna swiped the shot glass away and drank it for real this time. The women whooped with laughter as the guy turned bright red and eventually went up to get the drinks. After chatting for another minute, Brianna made her excuses and went back to Jabin, screwdrivers in hand.

"And voila. The old hat trick. It also helps if you're conning people out of drinks that you pick people that are pretty tipsy, but not drunk and people who are willing to laugh it off as a joke."

Jabin watched as she fooled another group with a trick he wasn't very familiar with. Huh, didn't see that coming. He took his drink when she came back. "Ah, this is more my kind of drink." He drank it a little more quickly than he did his last cocktail. He started to feel himself getting more comfortable as it went down. "So while you wait for another free drink, how about we talk? What brings you to this area?"

[size=7]Weyler[/size]

Weyler was never one for the bar scene. No that he didn't enjoy a drink here and there, but it was the environment that made him uncomfortable. It made him feel a tad claustrophobic, being packed in a smoky tavern with all the noise one would expect of intoxicated folk. The loud shouting and laughter, the smells (of those who risked drinking a bit more than they should have and those who didn't consider bathing frequently), all the movement and excitement the room contained...Weyler was a bit surprised he was the only one of the group who felt so overwhelmed.

He raised his glass weakly to Myke's toast. He kept to himself after that, sitting quietly as he lifted his glass to drink now and then.

[size=7]Vastian[/size]

Vastian was unhappy. There he was, waiting for hours for Clark to return, and he puts him and the others on hold to go celebrate a finished mission. But they were invited along, and that was something...maybe Vastian would've appreciated the gesture if business didn't weigh so heavily on his mind.

It'd be a waste to simply stand around angry with a celebration at hand, though. Too bad Vastian didn't care much for people. However, the tall robed man who he had waited with at the Guild hall before intrigued him. Takes discipline to stand so stoically for hours on end, no arguing that, he thought.

Shrugging to himself, Vastian pulled his chair closer to the man and addressed him.

"So. I imagine you're not exactly excited to be here, eh?"

The stranger merely turned his head to look at him.

"Yeah, me neither."

Didn't get a response that time, either.

"You know, earlier when you were standing at the desk, I was thinking maybe somebody swiped your kneecaps. Now I'm thinking it's your tongue they snatched away...do you ever say anything?"

XEQ is watching some of the customers being tricked into buying drinks for one of the mercenaries when the angry axe-wielder approaches.
"So. I imagine you're not exactly excited to be here, eh?" he asks.
XEQ looks at him.
"Yeah, me neither," agrees the man, who receives no response. He continues, "You know, earlier when you were standing at the desk, I was thinking maybe somebody swiped your kneecaps. Now I'm thinking it's your tongue they snatched away...do you ever say anything?"
XEQ shakes its head slowly. It looks back at the untouched beer, then slides it along the table to the commander, who is already working on his third. He paid for the drink, so it is his right to drink it if the intended recipient can't.

"To being alive!" Serena cheered as she tossed down a drink. She spotted a couple of new people joining them, but introductions could always wait till later. She was at a bar and everything was gonna be paid by the bossman. Her stomach and her money pouch could definitely appreciate that. So, until she passed out she was going to stuff her stomach with as much as she could eat and drink. It was unrefined and she probably looked like a slob, but once again she didn't care. She was alive and so far this was one of the best moments of her life.

She raised a new mug into the air with another loud laugh and a cheer. "To doing the best goddamn job ever!"

Valentia

The seafarer raised an eyebrow at the apparent leader of this band of mercenaries as he invited them out for drinks. She wasn't exactly sure if this was common among sellswords, but the problem was more that she didn't drink. A pirate who didn't drink was a silly idea indeed, but that was who she was. With a shrug, she just decided to tag along and see who else was in the group. Perhaps get to know them all a bit before they actually fought together.

She silently walked into the bar behind all the others and graciously accepted the mug that was handed to her, although she didn't actually lift it to her lips. 'Hmm...well, might as well watch and see what happens.'

"Hmmm, I see. A vow of silence, perhaps? Admirable."

He watched the stranger slide his beer across the table.

"You don't drink, either? Are you some kind of damned monk?"

Vastian thought for a minute, thinking perhaps he was sounding a tad intrusive and aggressive. The robed man, despite his bizarre behavior, had done nothing to provoke Vastian, after all.

"Sorry. Forget about that. Anyhow...you wouldn't happen to have any means of communication, would you? One-sided conversations bore me."

XEQ receives a mock salute from the commander, then turns back to the armored man beside it.
The man questions whether it might be a monk after refusing to speak or drink, then asks whether it is capable of any sort of communication.
XEQ shrugs and shakes its head. Though it may be skilled in many areas, communication is not one of them, and was never meant to be.

"Hmmm. Alright. No sign-language, anything of that sort, then? This makes things difficult."

Vastian leaned back in his chair, and looked to the ceiling, beginning to enjoy this new use of his time. It was a fine distraction from his business with the leader of the joyous mercenary band.

"Well, can you write? Lemme see if I can scrounge up some pen and paper..."

The gladiator rose from his chair and left the table, keeping his eyes open for suitable writing utensils. He found some cloth napkins on an unused table in disarray that suggested a small, happy gathering similar to the mercenary band's had finished not too long ago. It didn't take much effort for Vastian to obtain a quill pen and inkwell from the man tending to the bar's ledger, either. It was difficult to deny Vastian a "request".

Returning to the man in robes, he threw himself into his chair almost excitedly.

"And here you are. Sorry I couldn't find any paper."

He pushed the objects toward the stranger, eagerly awaiting a reply.

"Oh, and by the way, I'm Vastian."

The man has the idea of getting a pen and paper for XEQ. He manages to obtain a pen from the man behind the bar, but must resort to a cloth napkin instead of paper. He presents these things to the archer. He then introduces himself as Vastian.
XEQ nods to the introduction and sets about trying to write. It has seen writing before, and has some ability to read, but has never really had an opportunity or much of a reason to attempt writing. It holds the pen as one would hold a dagger and presses down a bit too hard, leaving large blots of ink, but manages to create something resembling its name. It then points to that and itself in succession.

Vastian thought about intervening and correcting the stranger's penmanship, but the robed figure finished to quickly for him to come to any actual decision. Vastian's eyes darted to the note, then toward XEQ's face (attempting to meet his gaze, but the shroud does too well of a job hiding whatever lies beneath it), and finally to the hand that literally stabbed a word onto the napkin.

Can't say I've been frightened by too many things in my time, but this is genuinely eerie...could be the way he held the pen while he was writing, but it doesn't seem like it's ink he's used to writing with...it gives me the feeling like it's blood on that cloth.

Vastian realized he was staring and quickly averted his gaze, clearing his throat.

"I, uh, have no idea how to pronounce that. Is it...Zeck?...Or Sheck?"

[size=14]Kalee[/size]

Her leg now fully healed, Kalee thought it best to remain outside for a little while. It was one of the rare times she thought about her family, she had been trying to keep herself busy so she wouldn’t have to think about it. Luckily she didn’t have to long to dwell on such things as she soon saw a troop of mercenaries walking to the guild. Jumping up and wiping away a tear Kalee ran inside, “They’re back! They’re back!”

She grinned as they walked inside, the commander looked so tough and brave. She couldn’t wait to be a mercenary. Following them to the bar she was amazed by all the sights and sounds. She had never been in one before, who could say not to her now? She was a mercenary. The thought made her giggle. Walking around, Kalee came across the robed figure standing with a giant man. Expressionless as always, the robed figure just stood there as the man fumbled around to find some paper and a writing utensil. Now she knew what was going on, the poor thing couldn’t talk.

"I, uh, have no idea how to pronounce that. Is it...Zeck?...Or Sheck?"

Gazing at the paper she couldn’t help but laugh, “That’s not Zeck, silly. It’s Ex...Ee…Qu... XEQ! That’s what your name is, right? I guessed it right, didn’t I?! And I’m Kalee, who are you?” She asked the big man.

What? X-E-Q? Now I feel like an ass.

"Hmmm. Good to meet you, I guess. I'm Vastian."

This "Kalee" struck Vastian as being very young. The energy of youth really stood out among those already in a drunken stupor. It made him a little sad to think he might have to fight against one so young, perhaps even take their life. Just a little sad. It's not like he'd be doing it for free or anything.

"Well, since you're so wise as to guess our mysterious friend's name...maybe you've got some idea on how to get him to write a bit more?"

After successfully signing the napkin, XEQ is asked by Vastian how to pronounce its name. It shakes its head at his attempts, but is unsure how to explain it.
Fortunately, the girl it shot earlier comes over and deciphers the three letters correctly as three letters. She then introduces herself as Kalee.
So, now it knows Kalee and Vastian. But they're both new recruits as well. It would be more useful to know the commander and the other mercenaries who have actually fought for the company. But many of them are too busy getting themselves drunk. Further introductions will likely have to wait for the next morning.

[size=20]Clark[/size]

Clark was amused by the antics of his band; they were certainly an interesting, varied bunch. Getting up abruptly, he walked over to the bar, motioned for Tauskeli to come near, then whispered something in his ear. The barkeep nodded as he polished another mug, then disappeared behind the counter, returning a moment later with a rectangular bottle.

Once enough shot glasses had been set down, Clark whistled loudly to get the attention of the mercenaries. "Drinking contest!" he cried out. "If any of you can drink more of this here whiskey than me before you pass out, I'll walk through town naked tomorrow." Clark laughed as he said it, but he hoped Brianna was busy somewhere else.

OOC: Um...yeah. Probably won't be back on for another day or two.

[size=7]Brianna[/size]

Brianna mulled over how to reply to Jabin while sipping at her second cocktail. If she was completely honest, she wasn't entirely sure what had brought her to this area at all. Boredom with life as a soldier, always being told where to go and what to do. She left the army and wandered aimlessly. Was it chance she happened upon here? Probably.

It was in the middle of her composition of a suitable answer that she heard Clark's rather foolish contest. Grinning from ear to ear, she raised her glass to him.

"You're on, mate!"

Gulping down the shot in one go, she allowed it to settle a little before taking up the next shot. She was glad she had eaten during the battle, it'd keep her from getting too drunk too quickly. Though she suspected she'd still be quite out of it by the end of the night.

Polishing off yet another shot, Brianna sluggishly formulated an answer to Clark, slurring her words a little.

"I was a ssoldier and a female one at that. *hic* Iff you don't learn to hold your own in drinking contestss, you get hazzed."

Brianna reflected that maybe having had two beers, a shot and two rather large cocktails before starting this competition put her at a bit of a disadvantage, but she wasn't prepared to throw in the towel and kept gamely throwing back the whiskey.

Jabin watched the contest with interest, wondering if Brianna really could outdrink the large and obviously very alcohol tolerant Clark. Well, no more free drinks tonight, I guess. Pity, I thought the adventure was just beginning... He ordered another beer and watched from the sidelines. Wonder how many shots I could take before passing out... actually, I'd rather not. Probably embarrass myself. The sage sat back and drank his beer down rather quickly, at least for him.

[size=20]Clark[/size]

By now, Clark was showing clear signs of being drunk. "Izzat ssho? I guessh that eckshplainsss the armor yeh wearrr."

While Clark and Brianna continued doing shots, Lug and Balas moved through the crowded pub until they were two tables away from where Alice and Lou were seated. Alice's box was on the floor, but she had the goddess icon in her hands and was admiring it between sips of light ale.

Balas pulled Lug in close. "Stick to the plan. You distract 'em, I'll nab the box. Don't mess up." Lug nodded his confirmation and moved to speak with Alice.

"C'mon, Lou, drink something!" Alice complained. "You're no fun at all."

Lou sighed and shook his head. "I prefer to watch the antics of the drunks rather than become one myself."

Alice rolled her eyes and turned back to her beer. She was surprised to see a short boy about her age sitting across from her, wearing armor and a thick cloak. "...Can I help you?"

Lug was nervous. "Er...I..." Lug fumbled with his words. "Would...would you like to...er...dance or something?"

Alice smiled sympathetically. "Sorry, honey, I'm with someone right now," she said, pointing to Lou.

Lug scowled. "C'mon, just give me a minute of your time!"

Balas crept along the floor and took hold of the box. As he moved backwards, his arm brushed Alice's ankle. She looked down and screamed. Balas cursed and backed out from under the table, getting up quickly. "Get the stuff and run, idiot!" he yelled at Lug.

Lug snatched at the goddess icon in Alice's hand, but she gripped it tightly and struggled against him. "Lou, do something!"

Lou got up and threw a punch in Lug's direction, but Lug simply raised an arm and blocked the fist with his gauntlet, then decked Lou in the face, knocking him out of commission. Alice looked around frantically, screaming, "Help! Someone!"

Clark looked up, one of his eyes half-closed, and saw Alice across the room, shouting about something. "Oi! Alice! What'rrre you doin inherrre without anyone elsshe?" Clark scanned the crowd. "Ussshually you drag that currmudgeon Lou with you. Where'ssh he gotten off to?"

Looking closer, Clark saw that she was being mugged. "Help, dammit, Clark!" she yelled. "You owe me for that time in Elsan!"

"Sshorry, dear, but I'mnot drunk enough yyet to fight anyone." Clark downed his next shot, then swiped Brianna's before she could take it. "Eckssshcushe me, dearr, but we'll finisssh this some otherr time." Turning back to Alice, "NOW I'm drrrunk enough to do ssshomeshing!"

Clark picked up a chair and examined it, his half-closed eye twitching slightly. "Tausshkeli, how much issh thish thing worf?"

Tauskeli eyed the chair in question, still polishing a mug. "Maybe 25 gold, tops."

Clark nodded. "Ssshee to it I pay you toget it fickshed. It'sh brroken."

With that, he walked crookedly across the floor, pulled the chair back, then smashed it over Lug's head. Lug howled and collapsed to the floor, but only for a moment. He swiped the icon out of Alice's hands while her guard was off, then dove after the mallet Lou had been carrying. Once he had it in his grasp, he dashed out the door.

"Damn, that was our reward!" said Alice mournfully.

"That basshtarrrd owesh me 25 gold. We'll go getthe pessht."

Clark unhooked his sword from its place on his back and ran to the door, almost tripping twice. Waving the blade lazily in the air as he went, he motioned for the others to follow him and charged through the door. "Mercsssh to battle!"

[size=7]Myke[/size]

Myke watched the drinking contest with relative interest, but his eye was more attarcted to the mugging, more specifically the thief. He certainly didn't look much of a theif, what with all the armor, but as he was stealing, Myke thought he could be classed as a thief. He looked on as Clark, after much nagging form the victim and stealing more shots, picked up a chair and smashed it over the thief's head. However, the thief got up moments later, the thief grabbed a mallet and ran. Clark followed him... as best he could, anyways.

"Mercsssh to battle!"

This went over very well with Myke.

"Excellent!"

Myke, incredibly eager to be out of the pub, was among the first to leave the building. Some observers, having seen Clark's clumsy exit- were disappointed to observe that, unlike his superior, Myke was still perfectly sober.

Alright, time to have some fun this evening.

The mage was glad to be out of the cramped, loud environment as well, though he was somewhat taken aback with their reason for departing.

So, we witness a theft, and now our drunken leader proposes to lead a sizable group of mercenaries, some as inebbriated as himself, to capture the robbers and take back what they stole.

Good excuse as any to be out of that damn bar, I suppose.


It was a tad embarassing to watch his superior go charging out the front door, waving his sword as he gave slurred commands. Weyler sighed before breaking into a light jog to catch the others.

Can't be much of a challenge, what with the one man weighed down in that armor of his...

Then again, by the looks of it, this isn't his first attempt at thieving in such a manner.

At the first scream, XEQ looks around. Spying some violence across the bar, it reaches over its shoulder for an arrow.
Then the commander, quite intoxicated, realizes what's going on and attacks the mugger with a chair.
The thieves get away, likely due to the commander's condition.
Clark, while stumbling after the criminal, calls out, "Mercsssh to battle!"
Used to taking orders from inebriated men, XEQ marches out with its bow in one hand and an arrow in the other. Finally, it will be able to show these mercenaries that it deserves to be one of them.

[size=7]ROWAN[/size]

Unfortunately, the day had not gone over very well for the Crusader. He spent most of the morning just looking for jobs, but other than jobs that a 9 year old could accomplish, he couldn't find anything. So instead he spent most of the day in the tavern, wallowing in his misery, and drinking a mug of beer every now and then. Of course he didn't have much money on him, so he resorted to drinking games to get his fill. It wasn't very noble of him, but he was depressed, so he needed some cheering up! Fortunately for him, alot of the saps he came across were quite eager to cheer him up, unintentionally or not. So he had his fill and had as good a time as he could allow himself.

Which admittedly was quite good, because he got very drunk and fell asleep in the back corner, away from the majority of the crowd, and had spent much time in this state. He finally awoke however, in the middle of some kind of celebration of some sort, as a rather large crowd had gathered around the biggest table in the tavern. Of course Rowan also had a hangover, but he was used to them by now, so it didn't bother him much. He simply went to fetch a glass of water and to watch the proceedings before heading back to the inn. Rather that was the plan, until something started up. Before his very eyes, a young maiden was being harassed by a cuthless oaf who had his arms around some object the girl was holding. He was about to do something about him when another individual, rather drunkedly, smacked the oaf with one of the bar's chairs. Despite that though, the oaf in the end got what he wanted and quickly made his way out the door. Rowan didn't hesitate for another second and immediately chased after them, just ahead of the other individual, who had rather clumsily, made his way towards the door. Rowan didn't care about him now though, and he was probably too drunk to communicate properly anyway.

Of course, Rowan had left Percy (OOC: Name I just randomly came up with just now lol) with Fairah, so he was forced to follow on foot. And really, he was fairly ill equipped, with nothing but a Steel Sword in his possession. But it mattered not to him, for Rowan would gladly make any sacrifice for a beautiful face. And so he followed the curs while shouting random threats to the two.

[size=20]Lug[/size]

Lug panted heavily under the weight of his armor as he ran. He didn't much care for the figurine, but the hammer was a stroke of luck; if anyone came after him, he could break a few bones with a single swing.

Balas was waiting for him in the shadows under an awning. "Got the stuff?"

Lug nodded and showed him the figurine. The mallet was plain as day and needed no introduction.

For the first time that night, Balas grinned. "Nice. We'll eat well for a few days with these," he commented. "Honestly, I'm surprised you didn't get cau--"

Balas was interrupted by the sounds of drunken shouting that, by the growing loudness, seemed to be approaching them. A large man in armor was barreling towards them, followed by a scrawnier one, with the man that socked Lug in the face bringing up the rear. More shouting could be heard from behind them, implying that several others from the tavern were coming after them, too.

Thinking over his options, Balas sighed; on the one hand, he could ditch Lug and make it to their base just fine...but Lug had valuable equipment, too, and there was no way Balas could lift the axe Lug was carrying. Groaning and reminding himself to smack himself for it later, Balas spun Lug around by the shoulder to face him. "We split up, go down separate alleys, and weave through the town. Don't go back to the base until you're sure you've lost them."

"Right," Lug responded. The two tore off in opposite directions, Lug to the left, Balas to the right.

(OOC: Hahaha oh god I'm so behind.)

Serena

The mercenary considered joining in the contest the moment Clark said something about walking through town naked, but ultimately decided to decline. She liked to drink, but winning a contest was probably out of her reach. Nevertheless, she watched with ever-growing amusement as he and that soldier girl...Brianna, tossed down cup after cup. 'Free beer and some entertainment. Can't ask for anything else, really.'

She had just finished another mug of ale when there was commotion from the other side of the bar. She turned just in time to see some random dude knock out another dude with a well-placed punch to the face. 'Heeey, even more entertainment!'

She leaped off her stool and moved her hand to her sword just as Clark using his chair to club the random dude over the head. She let out a low whistle, but then followed dutifully as Clark drunkenly ordered them after the dude, who managed to escape with what appeared to be pretty valuable stuff. "Hahaha, this was more fun than I thought it'd be!"

With a whoop, she dashed out of the bar with the other mercenaries, eager to end the night with the bashing of heads.

---

Valentia

'You have got to be kidding me. What kind of mercenary leader is this?' Valentia thought to herself as she heard Clark's challenge. Judging from the cheers and shouts, however, he must have been a pretty damn popular one. With a sigh, she went back to eating pretzels and watching the show. It reminded her of her crew back at the ship, who were no doubt already smashed and lying on the deck dead drunk. She began juggling the small treats when she saw someone get punched in the face. A quick series of events later and she was out chasing after the thieves, led by a very drunken mercenary commander and the rest of his little band.

'Well...it's something.'

Having now been joined by a very loudmouthed armored man just in front of him, and with only the boss behind him, Myke made a decision on which theif to go after; the smaller, lighter, mallet-less one. This was a job for someone fast and sober, and Myke seemed to be the only one around who fit the bill.

He turned to Clark, said "I'm going after the nippy one, be back later", and tore off after the thief, sword drawn.

Here's hoping I can keep up. Ah well, maybe he's expecting a drunkard chasing him...

Clark gave Myke the same mock salute that he had given the hooded recruit in the bar, then adjusted his path and chased the larger target to the left.

--------------------

Balas wasn't expecting to be chased at all; rather, he hoped to be the first to return to their lair, so that he could report to Jack about what a nimrod Lug had turned out to be. Unfortunately, not only was he being chased, but it was also by one of the few sober ones.

Cursing under his breath, Balas ducked into an alley. Before his pursuer could round the corner, Balas concealed himself within one of the several piles of rubbish lying around.

Myke watched the thief duck into an alley, but when he followed him in- which was very shortly- there was no-one there. Either the thief had realised that he wasn't being chased by a drunkard and had decided to run a lot faster, or he was hiding. Which, considering the state of the alley, didn't look too hard.

"Kid, if you don't come out now, I'm going to start stabbing at the rubbish. I am really not in the mood to play games at the moment."

Balas thought of his next move. It was getting dark out, but not dark enough to evade someone looking for him...not yet, anyway. If he remained perfectly still, he was invisible in the pile, but blades had no eyes, only teeth. Even though he was midway down the alley, it wouldn't take long for his pursuer to stab the right pile.

Moving his hand slowly and silently, Balas gripped the hilt of his sword, waiting for the right moment to strike.

Silence. Either the thief was too scared to move or had a plan. Knowing criminals, Myke figured that the boy had a plan.

"I take it that silence means you want to be a human pincushion? Well alright then."

Myke stabbed the nearest pile. Nothing. The next pile. Nothing. Myke moved through the piles, stabbing at each in turn, keeping in mind that the thief was probably armed.

Oh well, looking at the boy, any weapons would likely be just for show. My armor isn't exactly thick, but a couple of quick swings shouldn't dent it too much...

XEQ exits the building just in time to see one mercenary dash off to the right, while the drunken Clark heads left. It decides that following the commander is a good idea, since it not only allows XEQ to show off to the man in charge, but also because the commander probably could use some back-up in case he trips and breaks his skull.
So XEQ marches off in cold pursuit of... somebody. It isn't really sure who is being chased at the moment.

Eventually, after dealing with a good amount of the trash, Myke heard rustling behind him. He turned expecting an assault, but wasn't quite fast enough to parry it, settling instead for a blow to the left arm. It left a mark on his armor, but it was nothing that would stop Myke from extorting stolen goods.

"Hmph. Not bad, for a street rat. Now drop whatever the hell you stole before I hurt you."

Jack paced around the hideout while Alan and Rick were engaged in a game of checkers. Alan jumped two of Rick's checkers and landed at the edge of the board. "King me."

Rick flipped the board over and left the table. Alan said nothing, preferring not to make the homicidal halberdier any angrier.

"They're taking too long," said Jack. "Rick, go out and find them. Kill anyone who gets in your way."

Rick nodded, then picked up his pike and left the building in search of Lug and Balas.

Okay.

You have been dressed down by Tookie for trolling.

This topic is now over. It can be mathematically proved that there is no adequate comeback to that simple fact.

To his surprise, Balas's sword glanced off the man's armored arm, doing nothing except give him away.

"Hmph. Not bad, for a street rat. Now drop whatever the hell you stole before I hurt you."

"Drop it?" he repeated mockingly. "Have you ever met a real thief? **** that!"

Before the other man could say anything else, Balas dashed back out of the alley and ran away from his starting point. Hopefully he could eventually outrun whoever was chasing him.

"Have you ever met a real thief? **** that!"

And with that, the thief ran off.

Yeah, screw this. I'm not playing hide and seek-again all night. I'm going back to the pub... And I never thought I'd say that.

With that, Myke ran back to Tauskeli's, very much contemplating having a beer for the first time in a year.

OOC: Defeatist? Yes.

By the looks of it, Myke would be more than enough to deal with the smaller and quicker of the two thieves. Weyler also suspected that the armored foe would be more difficult to fight, as well, although he couldn't possibly outrun the group of mercenaries at this rate...but that was making a lot of assumptions. He kept pace with the crusader he'd met with the others earlier and Clark, intoxicated as ever.

It took some thinking after the scene had all played out to realize what had happened. Two strangers had approached a young woman with her companion and robbed them of a few valuables, and the woman apparently knew Clark from some place. Clark was quick to stir up the band and prepare them to pursue the thieves. In a flash, a good portion of the group had departed.

"****."

Vastian continued to swear to himself, slowly standing from his chair and leaving the bar. He'd hope he could talk business with the mercenary commander, but that didn't appear to be the case. He headed toward a nearby inn, opting to tend to the matter in the morning.

Myke walked back into the pub looking rather annoyed. He'd just threatened a known coward who was certainly capable of outrunning him. What the hell had he been thinking?

Thinking of only one thing he could do right this evening, he approached the man he presumed was Tauskeli and asked him "how much did you say that chair was worth?", whilst pointing at Clark's now broken impromptu weapon with one hand and digging through his pockets with the other.

"By the way, do you have anything low on alcohol? I think I need to forget what just happened, and booze is probably the fastest way."

... And here goes the downwards spiral...

When Rowan saw he was starting to catch up to the cur, he saw him regroup with another, probably one of his friends, and saw the two dash off in different directions. Rowan didn't care about the other one, and immediately went left and continued the chase.

OOC: Bah, not much to go about RPing here <_<

And why should I trust your ability? You have very consistently been losing ground to the Germans, regardless of whether I've been on your side or not. What you're telling me is that I have a dilemma: either I can fight you and see you lose all of your SCs to Germany, or I can fight Germany and see you lose all of your SCs to Germany.

Alice stooped over Lou's unconscious form, her brow furrowed with worry. Her healing staff glowed momentarily as Lou's jaw shifted slightly, the cracks filling back in. He coughed up a small amount of blood, then remained unconscious.

Please wake up, Lou!

The door to the pub swung open as one of the mercenaries from earlier walked in and sat down at the counter. What's he doing here? Are they done already?

OOC: Ike can't post yet, and Buggy hasn't gone...nor has Serene, or Vicas, so there are plenty of people that can chase Balas if they want. It doesn't really make a difference either way.

Clark doggedly ran after the would-be thief. Thankfully Lug was weighed down by his heavy armor, or else Clark would have been left behind long ago. Taking a chance, Clark dove at him.

"Gotcha! ...Whoops!"

Clark caught Lug by his feet, but the landing jarred him, causing him to release his target's legs. The goddess icon he was carrying fell from his grasp; Clark dove onto it and kicked out at him.

Lug decided that the goddess icon wasn't worth his time, and quickly took off again, leaving Clark in the middle of the alley.

Clark managed to prop himself up onto his hands and knees. His head was spinning; all of that alcohol combined with running and that rough tackle...his stomach wouldn't sit still. Closing his eyes sharply, Clark vomited onto the cobblestones, barely avoiding his outstretched arms and hands.
