Carrul looked a bit nervous. He didn't like the look of this mage.
"Err... We'll be going now."
The bandit went almost crazy with panic.
"Help me! They'll kill me! I know it! Like they did with my friends! Go down the alley and you-"
His sentence was cut short when Carrul got impatient and knocked the bandit out with a meaty punch to the face.
"We'll be going now."
With that, the patrol quickly walked away. |

I decide to go into the tavern. |
|
|
I watched them go, and then looked down the way they had came. I retraced their footsteps, allowing magic to flow to my Right Hand, just in case. I was very curious regarding what was going on here. |

As I was stuck in my thoughts, I didn't notice myself stumbling into an alley way. I then bumped into a person and lost my balance. "What?" I said outloud. |

The man was dressed in full Iron and I stared at him in confusion, getting up again. |
|
|
I fell to the ground, confused. I got back to my feet. "Sorry." I said, smiling brightly. "Who are you? My name's KY." |
|
|
(Late Posted...)
I found what the man was talking about, dead people. But the thing is... they all looked like bandits... who to believe? |
|
|
(I am so very honored to have awolf take an interest in my thread.)
(I feel small now.)
Carrul bumped into a person in the alleyway, lost balance, and fell over. Confusion ensued, as the rest of the patrol bumped all sorts into each other. The bandit remained unconscious.
Meanwhile...
In the alleyway KY was traveling, up ahead was a sight of blood and the bodies of some bandits. The weapons were gone, so it looked like they were murdered in cold blood. |
|
|
I crouched down beside one of the Bandits. He had no weapons, not even a small dagger. The others were the same. Were those Guards corrupt? Had they murdered these men in cold blood? I stood up, a worried expression on my face. I could find out more as an animal than a human. For some reason humans trusted animals more than each other. I shapeshifted into a very basic form, a Wolf. I kept the Red Eyes and hair colour, but it wasn't uncommon to see a White Wolf, besides, many kept tame ones as pets. I walked back out onto the streets as a wolf, determined to find out as much as I could about this. |

"Oops, sorry there. I must go deal with some business." I said as I started walking out of the alley. Alfred Banks, I knew that person and seen where he lives, it shouldn't be a problem. |
|
|
A group of smugglers were nearby, their conversation indicates that they are looking someone. |
|
|
I heard voices, questioning voices, the voices of people who were searching for someone else. I walked towards the voices, unafraid. No one bothered about dogs, wolves were close enough to them as well, so I could gladly go closer. After all, if you were doing something illegal, an animal couldn't betray you. And if you were hiding from corrupt guards, an animal couldn't tell said guards where you were. |

I then appear into the marketplace, Alfred lived close to here as I think he liked the hustle and bustle of this place. I quickly scan the area and find what I want. I run quickly to jump up a stack of crates. The crates where stacked up against a 1 floor building and I went ontop. I quickly climb up by latching on to taller buildings and eventually reach the rooftops. |

I see if the bartender has any tasks. |
|
|
The converstion went as following:
"Where did Red get to, anyway?"
"Dunno, maybe the guards got them."
"Reed...?"
"I don't think he's here."
"He may be dead, who knows."
"Don't talk that kinda talk, that's bad luck."
"Hey! Over here!"
The rest of the smugglers ran over to where the bodies where.
"Looks like the guards got them."
"This ain't good new. I see four bodies, but five were in Red's group. And where is Red?"
"They probably caught him."
"Then there is nothing we can do. Let's head back to house."
The smugglers left and headed eastward. |

The bartender nods towards Calrin and reaches below the counter, retrieving some notes.
Note 1: I need some help with a "business partner" of mine. His arrogance got the better of him, and I need some help "persuading" him to "lend" "his" money to me.
4 vials of poison should do the trick.
I have 2 sovereigns ready.
Note 2: Some deals with lyrium brokers went wrong, and my boys were killed. I need someone to make these people "disappear".
Ser Ghalan-Hangs out near a derlict building north of the inn. Usually alone.
Joey-He hangs out near the market, in a derilict building where he and his cronies get drunk.
Do this and you'll get a surprise, of a sort. |

I reach the 2 floor house of Alfred Banks. The sounds of the Marketplace were still heard, giving me a stealthy advantage. I climb in through a window and crouch in silence. I go to the stairsteps to see Alfred eating something downstairs. So much for stealth. I clatter down the stairs as Alfred stares in confusions. "How did you-" I interrupted Alfred's questions as I threw one of my daggers at him, it impacted through his right eye socket. He had a distorted face at me for a second, then doubled off the chair he was sitting on. I step to his shribbled corpse as I pick the knife out of his eyeball. I then go back up and climb out the window. |
|
|
I listened to the conversation. Very Interesting. I followed after the men, very curious, and looking to know more. From the looks of things so far, those guards were corrupt. |
|
|
The men entered an abandoned general store. The last looked behind him for a bit, then entered, but the door was left partially open, only a slight crack. |
|
|
I sat in front of the door, tried to look like a lost puppy, and started scraping a paw against the door to draw their attention. If I just pushed my way in, I wouldn't be met with sympathy or information, but if I was accepted into their group, I would get both. Much easier than spying on them as a Human. |

I accept note 2, and prepare to go kill these people. |
|
|
"Eh? What's that noise?"
"I-I think it's a dog."
One of the smugglers opened the door a bit wider.
"That ain't no dog, it's a wolf of some kind."
"Looks a bit skinny. I don't think it has an owner."
"Who own a wolf anyway?"
"It's probably hungry, bring it in, we have some scraps to share."
The smuggler at the door opened the door wide enough to let KY enter. There was some sort of light inside, a candle or lamp, and the voices indicated at least four others inside. |
