LoD Chapter 2 - The Legend of the Forsaken Brother

[Bosolai]

"You mean HE's here?"

"Yes. He came into this city with a group."

"Does he know?"

"Of course he knows this is the HQ. Why else would he and the assassin's sister splinter into separate groups?"

"Get a bounty on him as fast as you can. Alive. Mercenaries, too. As many of the best you can buy."

"How much should we spend? We've currently got... 523,497 gold in the HQ's vault."

"All of it."

"All of it, sir? A sheer twenty-kay gold bounty would do the job. Or why not simply your bodyguards? Let them have some excersize."

"Not for Kerith. His only weakness is sheer numbers. Spend fifty-kay on mercs, and put a bounty up for another 200k. We're sending the best we can at short notice after him. And get them NOW."

"It IS you! Oh Renetta, I've missed you so!" Trevor got to his feet and sheathed both axes. "We've got so much to catch up on! After Mother's death, I had to go. Father disowned me, forbade me from even coming close to Goraz. Since then, I've worked on my own, becoming the best at what I do. How have you fared the... how long has it been... six years? Has it really been that long? You must tell me everything!"

The couple finally got enough clothes on to be considered decent, but before they could run, Trevor held a hand in their direction. A white, semitransparent bubble appeared around the two, keeping them from going anywhere or making any sound.

The sun was finally setting, and twilight was kicking in. The people ran off to their houses, and the guards seemed to disappear. A scuffle could be heard in the park. First to the left, then to the right, then behind, and next from the front. Three well-armed men walked up in to the four waiting in the park. The middle said, "Kerith, a certain Mr. Lichen wants to see you, and we're here to escort you. Now, we can do this the easy way, or the hard way."

Kerith grasped his claymore and readied for battle. "Or we can do this my way."

"Looks like thats the hard way, then." The man laughed, then commanded, "Boys." thirteen more men, all heavily armed and armored, appeared from out of the trees and bushes, surrounding the four warriors. All drew their weapons, and one or two used a telekinetic blast to send the warriors in separate directions, splitting them up.

(OOC: The BH's and Mercs in the park are in general tough stuff. Maybe half of them are inexperienced bounty hunters who couldn't pass up a high-paying job, but the rest of them are hardcore and good at what they do.)
