War of Forces: Chapter 1

[froofmyster]

Kardin stood at the head of the table. He stamped his foot to get the attention of his comerades. "A battle's started off between Kel Nu'ur and Tramph in the center of town. 32 People have already died, 9 of which under the age 12. We've got to stop the fight. Kel Nu'ur is both rich and violent, so prepare yourselves for a difficult fight. That is all." He took his dagger from the table and sheathed it in his belt and ran out the door, leaving it open for the others.

[cruelty13]

Melandie Bell was walking up one of the streets in the city, when she suddenly heard a crash. She turned her head left and saw a battle reiging on the street. "Oh Rowt, not again! There was a battle last month. When will it stop." She thought. Then she put hand on her hat and bringed the other which was holding a basket of groceries to her stomach whil grabbing thightly from the basket. Then she started running as fast as she could in the other direction.

[Jaguar]

Vars stood in the town Square, a circle of corpses surrounding him and blood staining his sword. Vars was the last surviving follower of Kel Nu'ur in the battle. The elf struck down 2 more followers of Tramph. He saw others (these being Kardin and his companions) rushing down the street towards him. "Shit." Vars turned and ran. He swiftly leaped onto a building and started runningm, rain whipping at his face. He drew his bow and turned, firing and striking one of his pursuers in the heart.

ooc: Could you please recognize the arrow as Vars's?

IC: Vars continued running and and jumping from rooftop to rooftop, his cloak billowing out behind him. He suddenly leaped off the building and turned to face those running after him, slowly extracting a large flask and a match. He spilled the contents of the flask on the ground, lit the match and flung it into the spilled liquid. It instantly ignited, creating a wall of fire betwwen him and those chasing him.

[Bombshell]

Bombshell walked for miles when he saw a war. "Kel Nu'ur and Tramph what do you want to become of this land a mess? Oh well not my fight unless anyone says that they hate Gla'en." Bombshell just walked on away for the battle. He had no intrest in the battle. After all he would get nothing out of it. Unless he stole something.

[froofmyster]

Kardin arrived at the scene. "Oh... DAMN." He said, looking at all of the slain Tramph followers, all of which Gorbonwitz. I hate this war. If onl- what the hell?! He thought, stopping by one of Vars' arrows. Vars Kaslerr... here?! He's still in Noham. ...Isn't he? He kept running down the street at top speed, moving as fast as his legs could carry him. He knows my secrets! He came to a halt at the wall of fire. He's here.

[cruelty13]

Still running, Mealndie realised something.

"OhH SHIT, MY HOUSE IS THAT WAY!" something yelled out in her head. She stopped and turned around just in time to see a fire burst out on the street.

"Thank god my house is a kilometer away from here!" She thought and started thinking on what to do next. Nothing came into her mind so she walked slowly into a large ally between two buildings, from where she could watch the events unraveling.

[Joseph Pandora]

Harold wasn't enjoying his choosen profession. He hadn't been able to pull of a large job for a two months now. Redudced to small time crime for that long Harold worried that he would never get another good heist. A elven woman with a bag of groceries cautiously walked down his alley. He sighed wondering whether or not it was worth it then got up and wearily drew his katana and pointed it at the womans neck.
"Your money or your life," he said monotonusly.

[cruelty13]

"Oh god no!" melandie sighted when a Gorbonwitz came up to her. SHe looked at the man and thought what to do. "Oh well" She said out loud, took the pouch from her side and gave it to the man. "I hope you are happy now. But you should know this does not bring proud to your race."

OOC:Basket of groceries, if it is the 16 century.

[Joseph Pandora]

Harold sighed, "I know but I got to make a living somehow. Thank you for your copperation." Harold put away his weapon and the money pouch and slowy walked down the alley.

[slightly aboveaverage man]

Magnus stood upon the balcony of the administration building of the city, gazing at the battle taking place in the town square. As the battle died down to the last few survivors, it was obvious that the forces of Kel Nu'ur were being routed, the last of their kind fleeing into the streets.

Magnus shook his head at the emense devestation, and terrible loss of life, then looked up to the sky. the air around him grew hazy, and he was lifted from his perch, his metalic garments being lifted by the very magnetic fields of the earth. He set down at ground level, and began checking for survivers...

[cruelty13]

"Erm, Goodbye!" Melandie said to the man, as he was walking away. Then she turned back to the edge of the ally and looked at the scenes rolling before. She didn't know what exactly to expect. She noticed, that there was an elven man standing on the road. She realized he must have created that fire. Then she noticed a group of people behind the wall of fire. "This might get exiting" she thought to herself. And then the rain started.

[froofmyster]

The rain put out Vars' wall of fire, leaving a clear path for Kardin. He ran blindly through the streets, trying to find Vars. Noticing a pile of dead bodies in the road, he followed the destruction. I see he hasn't changed. Has he been here this past year? When did he arrive? I told him not to follow me. He kept looking, hoping that Vars would care enough about his daughter to join the Marlag.

[Wolf99x]

Damn...too late to make a difference

David walked through the mess of broken and mangled bodies, crossbow at hip level, but pointing down. He checked for any signs of life, but he knew he probably wouldn't find any.

Tramph clanners don't leave survivors... he thought. Suddenly he heard a noise behind him. It was a wounded Tramph clansman weilding a broadsword and charging straight at David.

Well...this may make up for something... he thought bringing the crossbow up and firing off a shot. The bolt smashed into the enemy's sternum, and pinned his dying body against a wall.

"That is the price you pay for senseless death and destrcution." David said quietly at the enemy soldier.

[Jaguar]

OOC: Vars doesn't recognize Kardin yet.

IC: Vars leaped down from a building, right onto two of Kardin's men. He brutally stabbed them both and stood. Immediately, ten more lunged at him. Vars calmly parried their blows and stabbed a leg or an arm, causing them to fall in pain. He made his way towards the back toward their leader. He reached the Gorbonwitz only to find a sword at his neck. The Gorbonwitz did not reconize because of his hood, and the two stood there until a female vioce rang through the air. "Put it down!" A young, 14 year old elven girl dressed in black garbs similar to Vars's own stood on a building, holding a crossbow aimed at Kardin.

[cruelty13]

Meanwhile, Melandie had been thinking and suddenly realized she could go into the other side of the ally and on to the street, as the alley was not a blocked one. So she walked right into the other end and started walking throwards her home.

OC: I can't write no more today. If you wan't to use my character keep in her personality.

[Joseph Pandora]

Harold thought long about the woman he had just robbed. "It must be nice," he said aloud, "to have enough money that you dont make much of fuss over being robbed." My way of living isn't life at all, he thought, maybe if I ran after her she could give me a job. I could garden or something. I wouldn't have to bide my time for some big break just so I can eat for a few weeks. Harold sighed but smiled at his fantasy then moved towards the square to maybe rob some corpses.

[Wolf99x]

David heard a female voice telling somebody he couldn't see to put down something.

What the... he thought as he started traveling in the direction of the voice. He saw a Gorbonwitz holding a sword to an elf's neck, and he also saw a young elven female with a crossbow aiming at the Gorbonwitz from the roof.

Hmm...she must be telling the Gorbonwitz to drop the sword. David rationalized as he brought his own crossbow up, unsure of what exactly to do.

I'll see how this plays out...and act accordingly

He ducked into the shadow of a building and watched the standoff from a comfortable distance.

OOC: I had to edit this because I'm a blithering fool.

[Jaguar]

OOC: Vars is not a Gorbonwitz. He's an elf. The other elf is his daughter.

[Wolf99x]

OOC: oops...sorry bout that. I fixed the post accordingly.

[froofmyster]

OOC: Jaguar? This is two years later. Gorbonwitz only live about 20 years. They age about 4 years in one human year. Kardin's 7 1/2 (30). In Thief Guild he was 5. Last I checked, Vars' daughter was 2.

Kardin ingnored the girl and, without saying a word, removed his hood. He knew his face, along with his voice, had changed a lot in the last 2 years. He wondered if Vars would recognize him. "This, is quite akward..."

[Jaguar]

Damn!

How about we say it's a fellow follower of Kel Nu'ur (that is Vars's deity after all)?

[froofmyster]

OOC: I've got a better idea.

IC: The woman on top of the roof, being the highest up object in the area, was struck by lightning and fried to a crisp. Nobody gave a %#*&.

OOC: :D

[Jaguar]

OOC: I hate you.

IC: Vars dropped his blades in surrender, his eyes resting on the sword pointed at his heart.

[froofmyster]

OOC: Who's blade? Kardin isn't about to get in a fight. Not willingly.

[Jaguar]

OOC: Vars attacked Kardin's men and now one of them is pointing a sword at him. You don't recognize him yet because his hood is pulled over his head and he has a black cloth tied to his face, concealing most of it.

[froofmyster]

"Drop the sword." he said to his soldier.

"I know who you are. I found one of your arrows. The one's you use match."

[Jaguar]

One of Kardin's men pulled down Vars's hood, revealing his green eyes and long, black hair.

[froofmyster]

"Knew it. What brings you here? What about the others?"

He had spoken twice in one minute. A record since he got to Fernar.

[Jaguar]

"The turf war between the clans of Kel Nu'ur and Tramph has affected Noham as well. I was sent to assassinate the Tramph leader, who, unexpectedly, is yourself."

[froofmyster]

"No, no I'm not. I am the leader of the Marlag, a group of radical peacekeepers. We break up battles between the other factions and try to unite them. However, our recent efforts have been for naught. We've just been getting killed." He pointed towards his slain comerades.
"Case and point. The Tramph faction leader is in hiding. The coward."

[Jaguar]

"Would you mind if I killed him? I wouldn't care if you placed a bounty on my head. I've too many as it is."

[froofmyster]

"Not at all. ...If you can find him. They'll just elect a new one. I myself have no clue of his location. How long have you been in Fernar?"

[Jaguar]

"Two months. I've located him and taken the liberty of killing all of his possible successors." Vars pointed towards the pile of bodies. "I wrote a letter telling them to come and overthrow their leader, and we ambushed them."

[froofmyster]

"I see. If you don't mind, I have to recruit some more soldiers." he turned away. "Very high wages." he added.

[Jaguar]

"I'm sorry." Vars handed Kardin a pouch of gold. "I was unaware of their allegiance."
Vars ran away swiftly towards the palace of the Tramphs.

************************************************** *****

Vars soon reached their palace and grinned. Vars emerged from the shadows and killed the solitary guard, muffling his screams. He descended into the underground complex and drew his short swords. He killed every Tramph who opposed him, leaving tthose who did not alive. He quickly found the leader's quarters and kicked down the door. The leader screamed and gagged as Vars's sword plunged into his neck. He sunk to the floor, dead, and without turning, Vars stabbed a man trying to kill him. He then continued on and this time, he killed every one of them. He climbed up from the sewers and wiped the blood off his hands, walking through the streets as if nothing happened.

[slightly aboveaverage man]

Magnus stood in the midst of the bodies scattered about the ground of the city square.

No survivors he thought to himself, then stopped by the body of a young soldier, no older than 15 at least. When will these feuds end? We send our children to die for our causes, and in doing so we doom those causes to extinction.

He looked up to see a young Gorbinwitz rummaging through the bodies, searching for valuables to loot.

"What are you doing!" he called out.

[froofmyster]

Kardin heaved a deep sigh as he returned to the headquarters. There must be a reason for he and I to have run into each other. Were we supposed to work together? If that is what fate intended, so be it. Until I know for sure, I must wait. He put his hood back up. I've heard tell of a man named Magnus with remarkable powers. Maybe he would be interested in joining?

[Jaguar]

Vars walked into the town square and saw Magnus. Drawing his bow, he nocked an arrow and yelled, "Freeze!"

[froofmyster]

Also noticing the man looting bodies, he prepared to throw his daggers. His eyes turned red, showing that he was angry and that his magic powers were awakening. The Gorbonwitz Rage, a state a Gorbonwitz enters when angered, was shared by all of his species. Kardin, however, had more powerfull, longer-lasting rages, thanks to his blessing. "Respect the dead!" He hissed.

[slightly aboveaverage man]

The Gorbinwitz's back smashed into the wall of a nearby building, it stood there, cowering in fear at the man who so easily threw him.

"You loot and pillage from your own bretheren! Vermin!" Magnus yelled, his deep baritone voice causing the mouseish creature's fur to stand on end.

"Don't kill me!" the thief squeaked in terror.

Magnus once again grabbed the gorbinwitz by the coller and lifted him to eye level. "Those that steal from the Dead deserve no less." he intoned, his voice icy. "But I will not soil by blade by dispatching such a pitiful creature as yourself."

With that, he threw the thief towards the alley from which he had emerged. the young Gorbinwitz scampered to his feet and ran at full speed away from the rogue warrior.

"Thieves and grave robbers." he said in disgust.

[Jaguar]

Vars turned and saw Kardin's eyes glow red. "Damn!" He rushed up behind Kardin and put the Gorbonwitz in a full nelson, leaving him helpless. "Stop," yelled Vars. "Don't rage. Remember what happened the last time?" The last tim Kardin had raged, he'd almost leveled half a city in an effort to destroy a rival thief guild. "He's not worth it! STOP," Vars repeated.

[froofmyster]

Kardin struggled but to no avail. "Vars, it's low level. I'm in control. Get off."

[Jaguar]

Vars slowly released his iron grip. "Very well." The assassin drew his bow again and assumed a sniper's position, so he could cover Magnus and Kardin.

[froofmyster]

He approached Magnus. "Would you happen to be the Magnus I've heard so much about?"

[Joseph Pandora]

OOC: I watch one godzilla film and this happens. Was the gorbonwitz accosted for grave robbing suposted to be me cus if so Im a little pissed. I wasn't actually planing on looting.

[froofmyster]

OOC: No. It was... uhh... AMNESIA DUST!!!

[Joseph Pandora]

OOC: this is just talcum powder.

IC: Harold watched from the alley what happened to the gorbonwitz and decided that now would not be the best time to go out there. If he hadn't stopped to rob that elf that might have been him. He sighed.
I could be a bartender, he thought, that would be an honest way to make a living. Serve drinks. Amuse people with simple tricks. Sure there would be raving muderous drunks I would have to deal with but how can that possibly be worse then this.
Completely unaware of what he was doing he walked across the square and sat in a burned out doorway. He put his hands in his lap and looked up. He seemed to snap out of his daydream and relise where he was. He quickly darted inside the building and hoped to god that the one who had attack the other gorbonwitz hadn't seen him.

[slightly aboveaverage man]

Ooc: the gerbil guy wasn't intended to be you. You merely gave me an Idea of how to establish some of the personality of my character. :D

Ic: Magnus' gaze shifted from the fleeing Gorbinwitz to the two newcommers. the dropped his head slightly to the side as he focused on the arrow being aimed at his forhead. "Oh, please." He said mockingly, then with a mere gesture, the arrow flew from Vars grasp, and harmlessly into the side of a building as if the arrowhead had a mind of it's own.

He turned back to the Gorbinwitz and bowed slightly a pleasant smile crossing his face. "Magnus Polaris, at your service." his expression dropped to one that promised swift retribution. "Now what do you want."

[Joseph Pandora]

Harold let out a sigh of relief the man seemed not to have seen him. Harold stood up and walked around inside the burnt out husk of the house. He leaned on a pillar and began day-dreaming again. His dreams where cut short by an crunching sound and the an akward lurch of the burnt pillar. Afraid the house was going to collapse about him he ran out letting out a sharp yipping noise. As he dashed away from the house a section of the roof fell in. Harold winced at the loud noise it made.

[slightly aboveaverage man]

Magnus watched as another Gorbinwitz sped from a collapsing building. He turned back to the others.

"Well that was unexpected. Friend of yours?"

[froofmyster]

"No. I was wondering if you were interested in joining a peace keeping force. We try to break up battles between and unite the other factions. Would you be interested in joining?" Kardin was ready for a "no", or perhaps a punch to the stomach. It wouldn't be the first time.

[slightly aboveaverage man]

Magnus eyed the gorbinwitz suspiciously. "Who are you? And how did you know of me?"

[froofmyster]

"Sorry. Allow me to introduce myself," he would have bowed, had the man not been so hostile, "Kardin Aeronech, leader of the Marlag. Your powers are well known around here."

[cruelty13]

Meanwhile in a street that was just around the block, Melandie Bell, was walking home, when all of a sudden a wall collapsed blocking the road. And it happened only a few yards away from her. "What the HELL!" She basickly screamed. She stopped in midwalk and was a little way from fainting. But she recovered quickly and reasoned followingly: "Let's see... I have the option of taking an even bigger way around or going through the fight happening next street. It seems the noises have died down. Oh well. Might as well as go through there." Having said that she went back on the move throwards the ally through which she came into the other street. She made it there, went through and started walking up the street throwards her home. She tried evading looking at the corpses piled at the walls. And then the roof of the building, that had collapsed in front of her fell in. She stopped in midwalk, only to notice, that one gorbinwitz was starting to get angry and a man was holding on to the gorbinwtz. She slightly started walking faster, hoping not to get noticed. Then the same gorbinwitz, that had robed her ran out of the collapsing building, just in front of her.

[froofmyster]

OOC: GorbOnwitz. That was a typo. I hit the I key instead of the O.

[slightly aboveaverage man]

Ooc: Okay then.

Ic: "Well then master Aeronech, your offer is intriguing to say the least." Magnus replied, extending a hand. "And I applaud your abilities to form such a united organization, but one must wonder how effective it is." He gestured towards the many corpses in the streets. "After all, so many have been lost in a few minutes."

[froofmyster]

"Most of them aren't well trained, they just join for the money. I do what I can but it's hard to train at least 30 people with little fighting skills. The worst part is, I have the burden of notifying their family oof their deaths." he paused to think. "It takes a great deal of courage to compromise, even abandon your beliefs for the greater good."

[slightly aboveaverage man]

Magnus looked past the Gorbonwitz, as if looking into some past event. "Hm. Sometimes it takes an outside force to push you that far." His eyes refocused on Kardin. "You said that your men need training, perhaps it's time that they were trained in proper military fashion." He drew his sword and held it across his chest in the local form of salute. "I will join you, as long as I am given a measure of creative control."

[froofmyster]

"Sure. I guess that's fine." It's good to know I have a soldier who knows what he's doing. All the same, is giving him power such a good idea? After seeing what he did to that thief... He could very well do the same to me if he finds out I too, am a thief. He shook his head. Regardless, I'll have to trust him.

[Joseph Pandora]

Harold looked around to see if anyone had noticed him. Luckily the group of people who he was worried about hadn't cared. Then he relised the woman who he had robbed was standing in front of him staring. In his dazed confusion he waved hello to her then relised she probably wasn't really all that happy to see him so he quickly put his hand down.

OOC:School time so im out for a while.

[cruelty13]

"Um, Hello... Nice to see you again." Melandie said to Harold: "Er.. How are you.. doing?" God this is akwardMelandie said to herself.

[Jaguar]

Vars watched Magnus and Kardin talk. He then disappeared into the darkness.

[froofmyster]

"Follow me to the headquarters." Kardin had nothing left to say to Magnus and was not interested in conversing, so he did not speak. He strode off out towards the a high hill with an old mansion at the top.

[Jaguar]

Vars then turned back, thinking. Perhaps Kel Nu'ur should have a representative in the Marlag. The assassin followed Kardin and Magnus, dropping down for feet in front of them with fake blood layered on his chest. He lay deathly still, waiting for their reaction.

[slightly aboveaverage man]

Magnus took in the mansion with but a glance. "How very... Gothic." was all he could bring himself to say as they approached the aging mansion. "How long have you, or your group, had this place?"

[froofmyster]

"Vars, get up." He had pulled this trick before. Many times. Before Kardin had left Noham, he would have fallen for this. He knew better now.

"I've only been here a year. It was like this when I found it. I redid the inside."

[slightly aboveaverage man]

Magnus cocked an eyebrow. "I can't wait."

He then turned his gaze to the elf pretending to be dead in the street. "a little mellodramatic isn't he?"

[froofmyster]

Kardin grunted. "If he doesn't get up soon, I'll kick him." It was obvious in his voice that he meant it. Two years ago, that would have been an empty threat.

A lot had changed in two years.

[Jaguar]

With that, Vars did one of those things where you leap up from lying on your back. "You've changed," he murmured.

[froofmyster]

"I have." he agreed. He walked up to the door of the mansion. It was large and heavy. Kardin pushed hard as it slowly opened, revealing a quaint dining room in the center and stair that led up to the higher floors. "Welcome to Marlag headquarters." He shed his cloak as he stepped in and put his dagger on the table.

[Jaguar]

Vars silently refused to remove any weaponry or clothing, not even his hood or mask. You'll find that I, on the other hand, have not changed at all. I remember how you thought of my part in our guild cruel and barbaric." He gazed around. "I've seen enough." Vars quickly turned and strode back out the door, into the freezing rain.

[froofmyster]

Kardin raised a brow, unphased. He walked up a flight of stairs. After a few minutes of silence, the word "CRAP!" rang out from the room Kardin had entered. He ran out of the mansion, grabbing his dagger and throwing on his cloak.

[Jaguar]

Thirty minutes later, Vars stood in an alley, surrounded by mangled bodies of Gle'en (tell me if I misspelled it) clanners. His swords were, once again, covered in blood. "These clanners are too stupid for their own good," he said to himself as he strode out of the alley. "On to the next objective, he muttered. He climbed up on a building and drew his bow, waiting.

[slightly aboveaverage man]

Ooc: With that, Vars did one of those things where you leap up from lying on your back. you refer to a "Kick-up flip" or Hand spring.

Ic: Magnus followed the Gorbonwitz from the mansion, long legged strides allowing him to easily catch up. "What happened?" he asked, his eyes alert for any possible danger. "What did you find up there?"

[froofmyster]

((That Gla'en)) This was not the only place Gla'en was attacking. Kardin was fighting them away from Marlag Headquarters. It didn't take long before they began to overwhelm him. They had the power of Fire. Kardin did not. Looks like I'm going to die. They had him cornered. Then he made eye contact with one. He had a crossbow armed with a flaming arrow aimed at Kardin's heart. Kardin knew him. That was the man who ruined his life, who made become the hardened creature he was. His eyes instantly turned blood red as he bolts of electricity began shooting from him. This was a maximum level Rage. He killed eveybody near him (Not including Magnus), except the man with the crossbow, whos arrow had been destroyed. Kardin wanted to savour this.

He slowly approached the man, his every step ending in an expression of rage. The man began backing away, his eyes full of fear. Kardin's eyes, on the other hand, were full of anger. He looked insane, the way he did the night he killed the elf named Darvon. As the man's stride sped up, so did Kardin's until the man backed into a wall. Kardin said nothing. He raised his left hand, fingers spread apart. He began glowing the same shade of red as his eyes. A blast of electricity shot from his palms, leaving nothing of the man but ashes. Kardin's eyes returned to normal as he fell to one knee, hatred burning inside him. He kicked the ashes into the air, twirled around and headed towards the mansion.

[Bombshell]

Bombshell had been walking for what he thought like days. Until most of his kind were attacking something or someone maybe many. "What the hell is going on here? Who told us to do this? Damn. So much burning must resist urge to burn. Hahaha! Burn! Everything burn!" Then someone kill his kind. "Huh! Hey you! Why did you kill him?" He didn't understand why this person had killed Bombshell's kind. Bombshell thought what did we do besides what happened now?

[Jaguar]

Vars quietly came up behind Bombshell and put a kniffe to the thief's throat. He then clasped a bloodied hand around the stranger's face. "Boo."

[froofmyster]

Kardin did not answer, nor did he notice Vars' attack. He reentered the mansion.

[Bombshell]

"So you know I'm a thief, but I bet you didn't know thieves can escape easy. How much you wanna bet I can escape before you kill me." Bombshell didn't want to talk so he slid out, but his arm got scraped from knife. "Heh. Sucker! Hahahaha! Burn!" Bombshell used his fire to try and kill the person. But he didn't look back. He entered the mansion as well.

[froofmyster]

...AND to add to all this, I've forgotten to close the damn DOOR! "What do you want?"

[Bombshell]

"Who are you? Why did you kill that man? Do you want revenge? Why are the Gla'en attaking everything? I must know everything and why my people attack here. Did you do something to them?" Bombshell didn't want to explain he just wanted to know what's going on.

[froofmyster]

"The Gla'en are anti-peace. My organisation is a peacekeeping one. I did nothing to them until tonight. They had already done something to me. The man I killed in particular."

[Bombshell]

"Really? Then why am I different I'm Gla'en, but I'm not anti-peace. I'm just a Gla'en thief 'cause someone hired me. I'm Bombshell who are you?"

[froofmyster]

"Because you're sane. My name is of no importance to you."

[Bombshell]

"Really. The man who was he? I just think that he was someone I knew, but I don't remember.

[froofmyster]

"I knew not his name. All I can tell you is that he took the life of somebody very close to me. Several people."

[Bombshell]

"I see. I'm sorry for what I have to do next. I have to kill you no one ever gets away with knowing my name unless their a thief and I know you're no thief."

[froofmyster]

"You'de be surprised..." said Kardin, holding up Bombshell's weapon.

[Bombshell]

"How did you... So you are a thief, but I have never met anyone who is faster than me. Ok so maybe I won't kill you... at least not for awhile. Are you sure you didn't know the man's name?

[froofmyster]

"I'm sure."

[Bombshell]

"Well then you said he killed people. Were they of your kind?"

[froofmyster]

"If you mean Gorbonwitz, yes. Three of them."

[Bombshell]

"Well that wasn't the man I was looking for then. Hm... I wonder. Did you kill any other people?"

[froofmyster]

"Unfortunately, I don't remember. Memories of Rages as high a level as that are usualy incredibly hazy if at all."

[Bombshell]

"??? Well that didn't help. Let me make it more clear to you. I'm looking for this guy um... darn... oh yeah. Vars someone put me on a job to kill him, since I'm so sneaky."

[froofmyster]

"I got the impression. I'm afraid I don't know who this 'Vars' is." he lied. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have work to do, and you have to get out of my home. Now."

[Bombshell]

"Ok but give me back my sword so I can find someone who knows who he is." Hm... is he lieing? I just wish I could read people's minds to find out if he's lieing. Oh well. Maybe I'll ask the man outside he might know who Vars is. Ziff thought.

[froofmyster]

Kardin tossed the sword out the door. He walked up a flight of stairs to a study and went in.

[Jaguar]

As Bombshell blasted fire at Vars, the assassin turned away and his cloak began to burn. He hastily pulled it off, showin that he was wearing another. He followed Bombshell.

Later, Vars stood in an alley, listening to the conversation between Kardin and Bombshell. As Bombshell left, Vars emerged from the alley. "I'm Vars Kaslerr," he said, his green eyes glowing in the light of the torches that illuminated the street. "I bring bad news for you, my friend." Vars held up the knife that Bombshell had been cut on. "All of my weapons are coated in lethal poison. In five hours, you'll be dead." There was a pause, the silence only interrupted by the steady beat of the rain. "Now hit me, if you can." Vars drew his swords and smiled. This should be fun.

"What! Poison... how... the... knife...? Then that man does know you after I'm done with you he's going down as well." Bombshell picked up his sword. "I don't need my sword but since you battle with swords so do I." Bombshell created a flame blade using his fire and his sword. "Ha! Beat that!" Bombshell had charged and created a flame bursting out of his sword.

"Big deal." Vars sidestepped the attack and tripped Bombshell, sending the warrior sprawling across the dirt. "You foolish human. Do you know whom you face?" Vars grinned, obviously enjoying this. "Now, let's have some fun, shall we," and he raced off into the night.

"Gr... heh fool. I tricked him I'm not following him. I'm after the liar." Bombshell went to the masion and blasted the door open. "I know you're hiding show yourself. You lied!"

Vars saw no one behind him and ran up the side of a building, using his momentum to perform a double front flip and land silently behind Bombshell, knocking him out with the hilt of his blade. Vars stepped over Bombshell's body and took his sword, throwing it into the rain.
