Fable: The Ties that Bind (RP Thread)

[Shadowmaster]

"There's no point in worrying about that now. We made our decision and need to stand by it." Lyon says. "We need to get back to the guild, fast. But first, we should deal with this scum." he says, pointing to the bandit.

[Lanzerus]

"I am sorry, Ma'am, I don't see anything." Keaton stares around the corner hoping to see atleast something happen, he keeps the knife in hand ready to attack as soon as he can.

[muffinstud]

Cletus removes his knee to give the bandit a solid kick. "He's all yours." He gives Lyon a meaningful nod, then turns his back. He addresses Aloena. "If we went back, we might be dead too. It's not too late to help."

[Haylie]

The Bandit recoils, then looks back at Lyon, as if expecting mercy. But he doesn't ask for it.



The woman roughly grabs the back of Keaton's head and shoves it further around the corner. Standing there are three enormous skeletons in heavy armor covered in blood stand laughing at something. One charges up a small orb of electricity and throws it at the barred-shut doors of the Guildmaster's chambers. They don't seem too worried.

[Kris_Roth]

Aloena nods..."Well, what do you want to do now? Go back to the Guild and have Lyon here deal with his Bandit, or turn him over to the authorities around here?" She looks around for some constable or officer to arrest this Bandit for attempting to attack them.

[Shadowmaster]

"Heh...judging by that look on your face, you've understimated me." Lyon says. "You serve no purpose." With that, Lyon delivers a swift strike with his sword to end the bandit's life. After making sure he's dead, he walks over to the other two. "Come on, we should get back ASAP."

[Kris_Roth]

Aloena watches as Lyon /killed/ the bandit, and then nodded, "Yes, we'd better go back and help the others. I hope we are not too late!" She heads off in the direction of the Guild, turning back to see if Lyon or Cletus are following.

[muffinstud]

"If what he said is true, we were too late two weeks ago. This sounds like something that's been in the works. It shouldn't be easy to take on the whole Hero's Guild." Cletus picks up the pace, axe still in hand.

[Haylie]

The Bandit won't be bothering anyone again anytime soon.

As the group approaches the Guild, they notice several new holes in the walls and the door open. A Title Vendor just stands by his stall, looking incredibly bored. He's inspecting his hat.

[Kris_Roth]

Aloena nervously approaches the title vendor..."Excuse me, sir, did you see anything or anyone come through here that could cause such damage to the nearby guild?"

[muffinstud]

Cletus takes a good look at the holes in the wall, then at the non-plussed vendor. "And how in the world do you stay so calm when there's obviously something very not good going on right next to you?!" He waves a hand at the battered wall.

[Haylie]

Suddenly, the man falls forward onto his hat as blood appears on his neck. He's quite dead, and seems to have been for some time. The blood's already starting to dry.

[Kris_Roth]

Aloena felt very uneasy about this man.."No wonder he didn't respond to us. He's been dead for a while now. Rigor Mortis had set in. Anyway, we need to find our Guildmasters and ask them where we should go next. We will have to bury him later. Or now, because he's beginning to stink." She blocks her nose to stifle the stench from the deceased vendor.

[muffinstud]

Cletus shakes his head. "We help the living first, then the dead." He carefully makes his way into the Guild and stalks his way towards the continuing boom noises.

[Shadowmaster]

Lyon enters the guild after Cletus, his sword still out. "Be ready..."
