Heroes, Inc., Day 2: Goldenight

"I don't think you quite understand our relative positions here," Dyria said, smiling wickidly. She stood up and walked around behind the assassin.

"I'm not in this for the money, or the good of the city," she lied. "I'm doing this because I like killing people. Preferably painfully. And this job lets me kill people without getting in trouble for it." She started running her fingers over the back of the man's neck.

"So, what you're offering me," she purred, placing a coil of her whip dagger around the man's throat, so if she pulled it up, it would go like a garote, albeit a spiked and electrically charged garote. "Is to give up killing someone now, in exchange for the possibility of killing somebody later. You're going to have to give me more than that before I consider letting you live."

The man looks at Dyria...then looks at Durodan...then Dyria again...Then he says "Ok, ok, but will you promise not to kill me, to turn me in to the proper authorities, and tell them I cooperated?"

Alethia continues to help out in the infirmary, unaware of the troubles in other parts of the compound.

Dyria paused for a moment, to give the impression that she was deep in thought. Finally, she said, "I have decided that you will..."

"Live." And the whip dagger disappeared from around the man's throat as quickly as it appeared.

"Now, give me all the information you have about this other assassination you were going to do, before you sense of civic duty overwhelmed your avarice," she said, sarcastically.

"I was supposed to go to a ship called the Yellow Diamond in the harbor. Its a two-masted cargo ship that flies the Calishite flag. It belongs to some trader, but I don't think he was the target. It is supposed to be empty except for one other man. When I find him, I am supposed to kill him. If by chance there are others, I was instructed to leave no witnesses."

"Like Aleena," Fin echoes. "Like Aleena... enchantment... Murdoch and Kaarlo's faerie dust?"

"Oh, hell," he breathes. "That doesn't speak well to Jornac's intentions, does it?"

"An interesting conclusion . . . I had not gotten there, yet," Crimson replied. "But I agree . . . that would make some sense. Is Jornac still with us . . . if so we need to get everyone there as soon as possible."

It does not take long to gather in the kitchen. You find Kaarlo on the floor and Timrin slumped in his chair He has burns around his neck and on his chest.

 

[Falkus]

"Thank you," Dyria said, smiling, as she paced back in front of the prisoner. "I'll be back later, to finalize the arrangements with the legal authorities."

She left the room, whistling. She hadn't had so much fun in years, it was just like the good old days again. She went looking for someone to tell about the prisoner's confession.

Alethia hears the summons and runs to the kitchen. As she sees the men, her expression goes unreadable, though her eyes betray the cold rage burning in the pit of her stomach. Years of healing experience takes over and she immediately takes out her wand of cure light wounds and zaps them both, then begins to examine them, knowing that there might be more serious things wrong with them that the wand can't cure.

"Fin? Jornac is probably still in the compound somewhere." Alethia tells him quietly, her voice deadly cold as she examines the two fallen men.

Heal check +9 to determine anything more nasty than the burns and obvious wounds, which would be healed with the wand.

Kaarlo is waking up as you get in. He seems alright except for some burns. Timrin looks like he was poisoned with the same stuff used on Aleena and probably Kiran.

 

[kirinke]

She curses quietly, detecting the tell-tale signs of poison. "Fin, it looks like Timrin was poisoned in a similar way as Aleena. He is going to need a neutralize poison and a full restoration spell cast on him. I am unable to cast either, at least not without a wand of each," she told him. "Next chance I get, I am going to purchase a neutralize poison wand. I am really starting to dislike our unknown enemies."

And pity those who are responsible for this. They will not hurt anyone else if I have my way, she thought grimly.
