Metropolis IC: Into the Darkness

[Corlon]

As your characters go about their own buisness, halflings approach each one of you. They flash a symbol to you that's inside their cloak showing that they're part of the thieve's guild in Metropolis.

"My boss is running an operation, and he wants you to be in on it. Meet him at the rusty hatchet tavern in the slums area tommorow at nightfall. Believe me, it'll be worth your while."

With that he pulls his hood up and walks off.

ooDM: Yes or No?
Of course since you guys don't know each other, different halflings approach each of you, and they may say different things, but that's the jist of it.
Leopold, if you're part of the thieve's guild (I think you said that somewhere), this mission is not optional for you. You have to do it.

 

[Leopold]

OOC: Thieves guild no. Assassins guild as part of a hit squad, yes.


IC: the black fured creature slowly plays with his whiskers at this announcement. Interesting things are afoot and he aims to be a part of this. He slowly moves toward his room and gathers his equipment. The dull colored chain shirt is layed out carefully. His blades lie before him sharp and steely he runs a taloned finger along it and feeling the slight sting as it bit into his tough flesh. He squeezes out some of his black blood amongst his fingers letting it run across his thumb and forefinger. His tongue licks at it tasting the warm liquid. He finishes packing his things, tests the strength of his bow and make sure he packs sufficent spares. He spends the rest of the day polishing, oiling, and securing his equipment.


When the desginated hour approaches where daylight is fading he slowly moves throughout the guild, his feet picking up the pace as he moves through the training area. He has no desire to see the new recruits and them to see him. He is trained to be a ghost in the system and for that he moves toward the rear of the building. He scans both ways making sure he is not followed. Silently he draws one of swords and moves down into the sewers. The blackness is like a cool refreshing sunrise for others as it is for him. He splashes throughout the underground until he gets to the sewer entrance near the inn. Silently he moves up through the sewer entrance and approaches near the inn, hidden, silent. Looking downward to see if he is being followed and seeing he is not he moves into the inn, keeping to the shadows as much as possible and settling into the corner. His entire face is hidden deep within his cloak so none can see his face. He sits, looking, and waiting for his contact.

 

[Timothy]

"mm, worth my while, ey? Considering my normal rates, this must pay good money.and it'll give me a chance to take out one of my targets as well."

The tall human then makes sure he isn't tracked and heads to the sewres, to his secret hideout. There he will get the neccesairy equipment, and change into an ordinary looking Drunken patron. He crawls out of the sewres and heads for the Inn, once there he'll observe the crowd and look for the one he is supposed to meet and any other people that might be there as well.

 

[Sulli]

"worth my while. i don't know about that, if it's killing those dame humans then im all for it other wise i don't rilly care." Cloude says to himself.

he makes his way back to his room to rest for the night. next morning he will gather his gear and head for the rusty hatchet tavern and rilly see if it's worth his while. when at the tavern he will find a spot in a corner and wait for the contact.

ooDM: there's only one thieve's guild.

 

[Leopold]

ooDM: there's only one thieve's guild.

OOC:
well very well...I make sure my hat keeps me about the same height sans the tail, whiskers, ears and such...i look like a 'normal' human...

 

[Jemal]

As the time draws near, Jemal orders another drink, he's been here for a while sitting at the bar waiting for his contact. Wearing chain mail and a helmet, the old dwarf man starts in on his third drink of the night as he glances around... Of course his entire appearance is nothing more than an illusion provided by his cap to ward people off.. They usually had more qualms about attackign a seasoned fighter.

ooDM: Hats of disguise, use them anywhere, in the kitchen, at the workplace, EVEN in the bedchamber, now only 19.95, that's right, for this low low price, you get a 2000 gp value, for only 19.95.

IDM: as you guys wait in the bar, a halfling comes out and becons you from a doorway.

 

[Timothy]

I'll wait with following him until I see more people doing that.

OOC: I don't recognize Leo's char, right?

 

[Corlon]

ooDM: if you're brothers, you recognize each other, but all the rest of the people don't know each other.
