Eteloria, Castle Entrance

Niou was leaving the castle. He had just had a... Talk with some of the guards.

"This settles it... I need to round up more helpers..." He muttered, as he prepared his poisons. He looked around. The castle was still standing tall, and omnious as it was made of black stone, that blended in the night sky. He looked down the streets, all the lights out.

"... Bad day for recruitment." He muttered. It was worse, that since he himself was a secret, he couldn't use Niu's influence.

Eteloria, Castle Entrance

Tanya was patrolling the entrance, followed by four other royal guards. ''If we could arrange the shifts to have this area patrolled more securely it would be better. Don't you think so? The Princess will be charmed to hear this.'' She said while the guards just nodded, making sure not to bother Tanya due to her rather 'higher' connection the the Princess. Tanya caught a glimpse of someone, but they were probably guards.

Eteloria, City Entrance

Isiah finally makes it into the city so he can report for his shift. Precisely on schedule to be right on time, as usual. He figures he doesn't need to be around people any longer than necessary, even going so far as to have to ride 30 minutes on horse back to get here everyday. He walks through the town, lively with the wealthy profiting off the Princess' endless wars, slightly disgusted by it all, but volunteering to protect it all the same. He sighs to himself and once again wonders if it's all worth it. Then, unbidden, the image of his sister, stripped of clothing with a fatal cut along her throat and stabbing wounds to her lungs, pops in his head and he knocks his reluctance to be here right out. He'll wait this out til the Revolt, down to the very last member, is dead. Then he'll figure out what to do about his current employment. He walks up to the entrance of the Castle and goes right in to report for shift.

O'Pryor heads for the nearest tavern for a drink and dose't pay attiention to the people starring at him hes seen it all before he heads to the town square to see if he can spot a tavern

Tralia, Horse Head Inn, Second Floor, Room 3

"Captain, sir", came the soldier's voice through the sturdy wooden door after two loud knocks. Captain Alteisen glanced over his shoulder at the door, his hand remaining poised over the papers spread out on the table about which he and his three sergeants were in the middle of discussing. Conversation in the room ceased, and the captain responded swiftly and clearly, "Enter".

The door swung open to reveal the overly stiff form of Kei Etraos, one of the more junior recruits whom Alteisen had assigned the task of relaying messages about the inn for the duration of his company's stay in Tralia. "Sir, one of the informants downstairs to see you, sir. Says he's got something", Etraos said with a quick show of his right hand in the customary Alarian salute. Alteisen's face showed doubt, and he swung his head around to gaze upon the reactions of his sergeants.

Sgt. Jenik Estrenicas, a bearded man with sharp beady eyes, matched Alteisen's gaze and spoke up first, "Hardly three hours since dispatched, how can he have anything?", quickly redirecting his eyes to Etraos to address the young soldier. The next interjection came from the blockish form of sergeant Orion Orens'sa, currently cast in shadow by his distance from the dim lamp in the center of the room. "A fraud, I wager. We ought to make an example of him. A week in the pen, I say".

Alteisen's eyes shifted to match those of his third sergeant, Maeer Aluwei. Aluwei had been reading over the papers and ignoring the conversation until the captain's stare prompted him to look up. "Nothing to add, sir", Aluwei reported, and immediately returned to the paper and his thoughts. Alteisen's head swung back around to face Etraos, and he said simply, "Thank you, Etraos, I'll be down shortly".

Etraos saluted again with a quick, "Aye sir", and swiftly departed. Alteisen straightened up, taking his hand off the table, and adjusted his belt so that his weapons hung more comfortably. "You all have your orders. Think over what we talked about, and we'll resume at dawn, dismissed", he told his men, and stepped out of the room to a chorus of "ayesir"s and the jingling of their chain mail as they saluted in unison.

Tralia was not among Alteisen's list of desired places to be, ranking more about 5th in Alaria. Orders, nevertheless, had been received directing his company to the clannish and unruly town in search of a high profile enemy, one of the Revolt's main conspirators and generals, a woman rumored to be the princess of a conquered kingdom now out for Niu's blood. A large buildup of soldiers in Tralia would spook the target into hiding, so it was left to Alteisen's band of 51 soldiers and 3 sergeants to conduct the search of Tralia's streets while posing as a routine law and order presence. They had arrived in town late in the day, appropriated the Horse Head Inn as a temporary barracks, and commissioned a handful of local street urchins to watch their respective neighborhoods and report any sightings or rumors of rebel activity. One of them, unexpectedly, has just returned with some news.

O'Pryor wanders to the horse head inn upon entering he noticed a small army is taking refuge there he paid it no more attention and walked to the hostess and asked for a big cup of mead she replied 5 gold Pryor reaches in his pack and toss the gold on the table then chugs the beer till it is gone and sits at a near by stool to survey look at the forces in the Inn

(wrong city, bro)

[thedude9351]

(lol my bad man still new to this rp) in that case he headed to the green fish tavern and bought a drink and decided to wait there untill he found something worth doing

[Ultiran]

Niou sighed as he entered a Tavern. Some odd people inside... No one particularly useful looking. He had made sure to take his cloak off, as not for anyone to recognize him from during a job. But it was quite cold without it... He quickly got a drink, nothing alcoholic, and chugged it down.
...
In the Castle, a loud noise emerged from the Princess's Room. One that sounded like something breaking.

[thedude9351]

O'Pryor stood up when he heard the noise and noticed another figure heard it as well O'pryor walks to the figure "did you hear that Lad"

[Lady Foxy]

Ellen shivered as a loud noise came from the Princess's room, running inside the Castle with her Rapier and shield ready for battle. ''Run! We must check on her room!'' She ordered while getting closer to her room, noticing how a couple of people didn't seem to care.

[thedude9351]

O'Pryor hears the sound of guards running to the princess room he heads out side to see the action from the front of the tavern he signals Niou to follow him

[Ultiran]

Niou followed the guy, not really sure why. This stuff actually happened alot.
...
More noises came from the room as one could hear the laughing of a girl throughout the halls of the castle.

[Lady Foxy]

Ellen kicked the door open and looked around the room before standing there, stunned along with the other royal guards.

[Ultiran]

Standing in the room was Niu, her shoulder length blond hair now cut so it only reached halfway, and was looking over at her guards now, with dark blue eyes. In her hand was a large shard of glass, stained with blood, and a large gash across her own hand where she was holding it. She was wearing a yellow dress, but it was stained with blood, as was her face, but she was licking that off.

The room itself was quite big. The walls were covered with paintings and such, and lots of dressers leaned against the walls. A large double bed was taking up the corner. There was also a large square carpet in the middle of the room.

"Ah guards... Perfect timing. An intruder came in and I killed him by luck. Dispose of the body." She ordered, pointing at a corpse on the carpet of the floor. The carpet was now stained with blood as well. Though Niu hadn't noticed, there was a knife sticking out her shoulder, which was bleeding quite badly.
...
Genden
The Revolution Base in Genden was quite chaotic. The leader there had just died from an assassination, and the assassin was just beheaded by the towns people... Though it was still in complete chaos.

[Lady Foxy]

Ellen ran up to the Princess before ordering the royal guard to dispose of the body. ''Your majesty, your shoulder.. If you let me I will have to carry you to the Castle's doctor!'' She fell on one knee, lowering her head so that she could honor the Princess.

[Ultiran]

Niu smiled, as she dropped the shard of glass, and licked the cut on her hand, tasting the blood. "Very well then." She started to lean, to show she was ready.

[Lady Foxy]

Ellen made the Princess to rest on her back, carrying her desperately to the Castle's doctor. ''Call the Doctor!'' She yelled before trying to bring her to safety.

[thedude9351]

O'Pryor missing the fight a little frustrated he quickly bows as when the Ellen walks by "sorry about missing the fight fella i'm gonna start a fight in the tavern in order to blow off some steam your welcome to join me" he says to Niou

[Ultiran]

The Doctor groaned as he sat up, yelling out his door. "I'M IN HERE!" He yelled from down the hall.
...
Tralia
"Anyone volunteer's at all?" The leader of the Tralia Revlot base asked. They were looking for someone to guard the storage while the others went Genden for supplies.
...
Niou looked at the guy.

"You barged into the castle, run up to the top, and try to enter a fight where the Princess was in danger... Are you an idiot?" He asked.
