[QUOTE="PHDungeon, post: 5094022, member: 86320"] A quick journal from Bella... I watch my final opponent from the safety of my hiding place. Just moments ago he had passed so close to me that I could smell the sweat off his stinking body. His breath came to him in ragged gasps and his eyes darted everywhere. He was hunting desperately for me, but he was angry, infuriated by his own impotence. He had yet to realize that he was already dead but I could see in his eyes that he had come to believe it. This section of Grimsburg was deserted and Victor posted sentries and paid off the town guard to make sure it stayed that way. He used this area as a training ground, an urban jungle used to keep his employees skills sharp and to learn of their capabilities. Unfortunately these buffoons were hardly qualified as capable. As soon as the game had begun I let the cold embrace of the shadows shelter me from prying eyes. From the safety of my cocoon I sent my familiar Cullen out into the night, seeking my unwitting prey. Cullen had easily found his two other companions and had relayed their positions to me. It had been too simple to quickly close in on them and take them out of play, then dart back into hiding. This nameless minion was the last. Raising my crossbow I took my shot. With an anticlimactic grunt he fell quietly in a heap. Thanks to Victor’s special bolts none of them were truly dead, only unconscious, lucky for them. Hopefully when they woke up they would have more respect for women in the organization. Starke may be chauvinistic, but he isn’t blind or stupid. These men had been new to the guild and since I had been away had never met me. Unfortunately they had also been in the room when I entered to report to Victor and had felt the need to make a few colourful remarks on my competency. With a wry smile this little exercise had been Starke’s suggestion. The idiots had accepted the “challenge” eagerly. Hardly satisfied I sauntered from the shadows. Passing by my final victim I feel Cullen land on my shoulders. Standing over his body I look up into the sky and hopefully into Victor’s scrying eyes. “Thank-you for this opportunity to show your new men what a woman is capable of Victor, if you need me for any other lessons I shall be in my room as usual.” As I waited for Bjorn to return the down time has enabled me to continue my arcane studies. Leaving the mystery of my mark alone I have started concentrating on Flagg’s captured ritual book in earnest. I had recently acquired some amber and had thought to increase my weapons ascetics with jeweled eyes. Unfortunately anything that catches the light on an assassins weapon is a death sentence so instead I pour over the cryptic cursive text of my fallen enemy in a hope to unlock the mysteries of enchantment. The work is difficult, challenging and far more rewarding then teaching these gentlemen manners. [/QUOTE]
