She vanished without so much of a trace.

It was like every other night, she had been with her mercenaries, her friends, her family at the tavern. They drank and brawled and told tall tales of their past exploits, huddled together in the familiar dim coziness of the Red Wing. As every other night, as the drinks waned and the dark dragged on, one by one they departed filled with drink and irreverent of the cares of tomorrow. All of course, except the barkeep Roven, Tamitha, and her foremost, Emily.

By Roven’s account, when the two finally left his bar, Emily was sporting Tamitha’s hat, unusual as not even Emily was allowed to wear the hat normally. By Emily’s account, they had arrived to Tamitha’s manor that night safe and sound. Tamitha announced that she would be outside for just a moment to catch a breath of air after a long day while Emily drifted off to sleep.

Tamitha, however, never returned to the comfort of her bed.

The following day, it was not like every other morning. When Emily awoke, Tamitha was nowhere to be seen, yet all her possessions were right where she left them yesterday night. She had never come in from her breather, and absolutely no one, not even her closest guards, friends or family knew a speck of her whereabouts. Tamitha Volt had vanished with nothing but the clothes on her back, and a ring as a reminder of the most important promise she had ever made. Do not imbibe in the slaughter.

At first, talk of foul play flared as searches were mounted. The Externatas were the first vetted, but after they had reclaimed their fallen brother, their hunt was on that of the pests, not Tamitha. The Cthonian terror that had previously gripped Tamitha’s mind had been all but annihilated by Aerisop’s magic and a nonfactor. Not a single competitor company or employer had voiced their discontent with Swordpoint enough to the point to warrant the silent capture of the company’s captain. Without strong leads, the search would stretch far and wide, yet turn up naught but dust. An amulet of catspeak was even procured to question Tamitha’s cat, but yielded nothing.

As the days turned into weeks, Swordpoint was now leaderless, and in a death-spiral. The collective officer and Vale Guard consensus was to assume the worst and save face for the company. Lorenzo, the company’s treasurer, jumped to damage control and paid out severance fees to both employers and contractors as he was the only other person with direct access to Tamitha’s bank. Swordpoint, had effectively been dissolved.

As the weeks turned to months, only the closest to Tamitha would be following a trail as cold as a corpse. Most had accepted her as good as dead, and for good reason. No one as high profile as Tamitha just disappears without a trace for so long. To some, her absence was so sudden, were it not for her worldly possessions, some may even doubt that she existed at all.

It wouldn’t be too long until her will was observed. She had written it in case she were to fall in battle, but it made no difference now that she no longer strode beside the living. Though her property, estate, gold and belongings would be given to their new owners, there are those that believe that she lives yet. Hope, after all, is all that some have left of her. Do not imbibe in the slaughter.

To the worldly charge that I, Tamitha Cosmina Volt, leave behind,

Burden not your hearts with grief of my passing, for all that must live, must die, and I have lived to my heart’s fullest. It should be in my memory that those I leave behind should do the same, not tarry in the past that will be the shedding of my surly bonds with this realm, but to bathe in the grandeurs of every frayed string of fate as I have.

Fate’s hand guided me along my path; even shone brightly and granted me light to call my own in the form of a family. Merca Undomer, my mother-in-law, and the strongest elf I have ever met shall be the executor of my estate. She, and her daughter -- my guiding light, Emilia Undomer, gave me purpose beyond purpose and I am ever thankful to have been able to call them family. Therefore, the Undomer clan shall inherit all that is not listed in the following passage.

Aerisop, my loyal swordsister and someone I would call a friend shall inherit my pistol and shot. May your aim be true and your Path clear.

Roven, the host of me and mine, and another dear friend. Shiny, you shall have my cigarette case and the contents of my personal liquor cabinet. You shall make better use of it than I, surely. Treat the imps with kindness, as always.

Gondrak, my furry friend and trusted officer, you will keep Matilda and see that she is put through her paces. I trust you not to crash with her aboard.

Fuinur, my most seasoned officer, you shall inherit the arms and armor I had requisitioned for Swordpoint. New adventurers pass through Gielinor every day without the proper equipment to survive the wilds, I trust you to pass on a fighting chance.

Anna, a trusted blade and darling friend, you shall be the new guardian of my feline friend, Amy. She had taken a particular liking to you whether you knew it or not, as she followed always in your shadow. May you find new companionship in a second bundle of fur. Do not imbibe in the slaughter.

Daveth, fellow survivor of a most blunderous tragedy, you shall inherit the armory of our fallen comrades of Hangman, as well as my broadsword. See to that everyone’s gear is in check, for one day they may too return for their blades and armor and it would be most disrespectful for it to be tarnished.

Merca, my greatest mentor and elven mother, I grant you my rapier and dagger. May their blades never fall dull under your dutiful watch, as you have watched over me. One day we shall settle the score of our duels and finally proclaim a winner, and I shall much like to use my own weapons when I do so.

Emilia, captor of my heart and my own moonlight, the manor and all my gold is yours. I know this will never suffice the million apologies that I owe you, for I have broken my solemn promise to you. You have taught me to love, and I could never truly thank you enough for that alone. I ask just one more kindness from you, that you live out your life to its fullest so others may experience true kindliness as I have.

Merca, I trust you to carry out the distribution of my worldly possessions to their new rightful owners. As for everyone else, the names I have not named, I have not forgotten you. I wish all of you safe travels, and better days ahead.

Gaudeamus. Do not imbibe in the slaughter.

Hello everyone, this may come as a shock to some, but it’s happening regardless. Swordpoint is over. Because of health and career reasons on my end, it is my choice to end the road here and let everyone back into the wild of W42 where I found the lot of you. It’s been a splendid journey and I’d have it another way if there were only more hours in the day. However, know that this is not goodbye as I will still be on the server, just more scarcely and only RPing casually.

Thank you all again for this wonderful experience.
<3 Do not imbibe in the slaughter.

For those of you who now find yourself without a group, may I suggest my newly minted Bounty Hunters United? Your characters will have no obligation to the group and will be able to take up bounties whenever they want with no kinds of restrictions. Should you want to keep rping as mercenaries, you can feel free to take up any mercenary bounties when they arrive.

Something to consider. ¸¤·.¸.·¤´˜¨Live and let Die¨˜´¤·.¸.·¤¸
