Outside Greenstone Keep

"Ah, Sir Marcus!" Darius greeted his fellow knight. He immediately began looking around. "No, we were just waiting for you." He explained. "You see, we developed this new invisibility potion and we are to test it out on these bandits. Sir Cain is standing right behind you."

Whether Marcus looked over his shoulder or not, Darius would let out a light chuckle. "Apologies for the sarcasm. Yeah, we're the first ones here." He then noticed that Marcus had come alone. "You don't have a squire?" Darius asked, raising his eyebrows in slight surprise. "I was not aware of that. Seems like more and more knights are going squireless these days..." His voice trailed off, for he still felt some sadness after his own squire abandoned him. Where was the boy now, he wondered.

"Anyways, the others should be here shortly."

The Sleeping Goblin Inn

"Ah, someone else from the country!" The farmer turned messenger said when Andrew approached him, completely falling for his ruse. Perhaps it was because he had had two mugs of ale. Maybe he was bad at reading people. Maybe he was just a trusting person by nature. Either way, it didn't matter. "Nice to meet you. Name's Jack."

"They sent here to ask the King to loan a few knights. Was gonna request an audience with him in the morning. But, Sir Riley told me any help was good help." He told him, taking a sip from his mug. "So I suppose you could just go on ahead to Daralt. If you leave early tomorrow you should be able to get there sometime in the afternoon. Speak with the man himself, I'm sure he'll find a use for you."

But Andrew was not the only adventurous type to approach the table. There were a few others, who were now exchanging looks. If they could kill the beast before whatever help the king was going to send could, that would certainly boost their reputation and also earn them a hefty reward

Edward Veliath's Mansion

Annie's knock on the door would be answered by a servant. With graying hair and a slightly wrinkled face, he looked down at the girl who had shown up. At first he thought her some urchin who had come to beg her food, but then he recognized her as Annie Wells, and he shook his head slightly. A ten year old serving a crime lord as a spy? That was just wrong.

"I'll take you to Mr. Veliath..." He muttered, leading the way to Edward's office.

Edward sat in his office, examining a gold coin, when he heard a knock on his door. "Come in!" He called out, and the door opened. In stepped Annie, accompanied by the servant.

"Mr. Velaith..." The servant said with a bow. "The girl has returned."

"Very well." Veliath said. "You may go."

The servant nodded and left, closing the door behind him.

"Have a seat, Annie." Edward said, still looking at the coin as he waved in the general direction of one of the two chairs in front of his desk. "So, to business." His hand closed around the coin and he looked back at the young girl under his employ.

"You came back rather quick." The crime lord began, his tone serious. "Which means one of two things. Either you did an astounding job... or it was a critical failure. So which one was it?"

Edward's manner of speaking was rather strange indeed. He had the voice of a gruff man who had a rough life, but his vocabulary was that of a well educated noble. Known for his ruthlessness in business negotiations as well as his harsh attitude towards failure, he looked to Annie for her response.

Would she tell the truth, and risk facing punishment? Or would she lie, to avoid it and instead claim the reward? Beneath the gold, the Bitter Steel.

((Blue, accepted. I'll try to create an opportunity for you to intro after this situation with Annie is dealt with.

Venom and Inferi - keep hanging in there. It may be a while before the two of you can post with your guards, and I want both of you to be present for the attempt on the Captain's life.)) Beneath the gold, the Bitter Steel.

Annie sat down in a chair infront of Edward's desk a little nervous. She listened what he had asked her if she did an astounding job or it was a critical failure. She decided to tell him the truth because she knows it will bite her in the butt if she lied about mission because if Balmor comes here, he will tell her boss that he got the letter by her. She said in a nervous voice," it was a failure but wasn't critical because, He did get the letter that you gave me to give to him by put it in his pocket. he was a step ahead of me and caught me as I hid behind the garbage cans to find the right time to put the letter in his pocket. Also a stupid sneezed that I made gave my position away. I think he is coming here soon and didn't want you to find out from him that I lied to you so, that's why I am telling you the truth. I am sorry that I failed you. I did write more notes about him in my notebook if you want to see it. I won't fail you again, I promise." She hopes that her boss won't be so mad at her because she failed and hopes her punishment won't be bad if there was one. -Dances-

Outside Greenstone Keep

"Sorry that we are late, but we are finally here."

, said Cain as soon as he got to the other knights and following right behind him carrying his swords that he forgot and his helmet was Lyna.

She said,

"Yeah we are here, somebody had trouble waking up on there own. He challenged a dwarf to a drinking contest, they drank about a whole keg of spiced dwarven ale, they even started to hit some stronger stuff, when the dwarf passed out."

Cain was about to remind her of her manners but decided it would just be a waste of time since she already began talking. Cain then said,

"Lyna you can hand me my swords."

He took them hooked the normal sword's scabbarded to his hip. Then he put the claymore on his back in a sling. Cain choice a two handed sword for the simple reason he didn't want to haul around the knight's shield.

Cain asked,

"So what how are you guys?"

Cain wasn't going to ask Lyna about the drinking competition he was in since that would only bring up that shoe that knocked him.

and nothing was spoiled

Andrew nodded as the farmer introduced himself as Jack. His espionage skills seemed sufficient to fool any common man, though a knight may prove more difficult.

"I'll handle it." Andrew responded in his false gruff voice. In truth, the Greenhaven Knights weren't very busy these days, and such a matter would be easy for them. But Andrew had hit a dead end pursuing the Organization. Perhaps he'd return from this little adventure more experienced, or another lead may come up.

Though he knew he wasn't the only one interested. He didn't need his heightened empathy to see there were others considering the reward. That could be a problem. The less people seeing Andrew in action, the better.

Andrew returned to his room upstairs to plan. His bundle of homemade gear wasn't suited for hunting a wild beast, so maybe he'd buy a bow from the hunting shop nearby. He wasn't much of a hunter, but he did have some experience in archery. It would be a bad idea going to Daralt dressed as the Greenhaven vigilante, so he'd need to switch up his attire. A change of coat would be a good start... Ramsay Bolton is the king we deserve.

Outside Greenstone Keep

Pretty soon Sir Cain had arrived as well, which meant only one more had to get here before they could go. He better hurry... Darius thought to himself. While the weather may be cool right now, he had no doubt that it would soon get hotter.

He found the attitude of Cain's squire... rather odd, to say the least. She was supposed to be his squire, not his best friend. Knights and their squires were meant to be on a formal basis to improve discipline and respect. As for Cain himself... it wasn't the most responsible behavior.

"Entering a drinking contest before a quest?" Darius asked, his tone flat. "Sir Cain, that is downright irresponsible and shortsighted. All things in moderation, remember? We're supposed to be the finest and most disciplined warriors in all of Greenhaven!" He shook his head.

Suddenly, a man came walking up the steps at a brisk pace. He was dressed in the clothes of a commoner, which meant he was most likely some sort of messenger. The messenger walked past the knights and up to the guards standing by the keep's main door. "Good mornin'" He said, his accent identifying as someone from the country, most likely from Daralt or Elkwood. "Got a message for the King. From Sir Riley, in Daralt." The messenger held out an envelope.

The guards exchanged glances, then one of them stepped forward. The guard then proceeded to pat him down for any hidden weapons, but other than the shortsword at his belt (which was confiscated), he had none. "Very well." One of the guards said, opening the door for him. "Go on in."

"Daralt, huh?" Darius spoke after the messenger was gone. "That's odd... that's exactly where the bandits we're to be dealing with are hiding nearby. That Sir Riley..." He shook his head slightly. "What could he possibly need now?" Beneath the gold, the Bitter Steel.

"I'm here!" Suddenly, another knight arrived. His name was Sir Richard, the fourth member of their team. There wasn't really anything remarkable about him. Following closely behind was a sixteen year old boy, with red hair and pale skin, serving as his squire.

"Well, we're all here - we best be off then!" Darius told the rest of them, before turning and descending the steps which led down to the city proper (the keep was situated on a hill overlooking the city.) He wanted to leave as soon as possible. While the weather was cool for now, he had no doubt it would get hotter. And travelling under hot weather while wearing heavy armor was far from comfortable.

At the bottom of the steps were the knights' personal stables, where their horses awaited them. Squires, however, did not get horses and were expected to follow behind on foot.

Edward's Office

"Annie..." Edward began, his voice calm. "Do you know why I asked you to slip the letter into his pocket?" He paused, as if expected Annie to answer, when really he didn't. Instead, he quickly continued on. "To send a message. A message that one of my agents was close enough to slip a note into their pocket without them ever realizing. If one of my agents was able to do that, what else could they have done?"

"Now, if I was just minding my own business, walking down the street, and suddenly I find a letter in my pocket addressed to me by someone I don't know, and I never even put that letter there to begin with... well, I would be shocked, to say the least. That's a pretty big first impression. Clearly, whoever sent it was someone to take seriously. But, what if I had noticed the agent sneaking behind me? Not because of my own skills in perception, but rather the agent's own incompetence - a sneeze. What kind of spy sneezes in the middle of duty?"

"Why, I'd think it was a joke !" He stood up from his chair, and began to pace back and forth.

"Is that what this organization is to you, Annie? A joke?" He asked, his voice soft. Then it became more serious. "To your father Jim it most certainly wasn't. Even today, he is an excellent and highly respected employee. He raised you, with the sole purpose of becoming one of us. Despite your age, you've had a lot of experience already. Then again, maybe this is what happens when I send a child to do an adult's job?"

"So what do I do with you now?" He continued. "You couldn't even handle this simple task. What if the man you were spying on wasn't a thief, but an officer in the Guard or a highly skilled adventurer? Then what?"

Edward stroked an imaginary beard. "A sneeze. An easily avoidable mistake. One that shouldn't have happened to begin with. But then again, it was also your father who trained you. Maybe he didn't teach you well enough? So perhaps the fault lies with him?"

He set his eyes directly on Annie. "So, Ms. Wells, what do you think? Who should face the consequences? You... or your father?"

Annie was terrified of what was going on. Now she wished she lied and said it was an successful. She had to act not scared at all and she did as she said in a brave voice," I don't think this organization is a joke, I take it very seriously. If it was a officer, guard or a highly skilled adventurer I would been I big trouble. I probably be in jail or killed because I am a spy. I know that my father an excellent and highly respected employee and raised me with the sole purpose of becoming one of you guys. I can do this job and be part of this organization. That's a promise. I made a mistake and I already learned from my mistake and will do better because of this miskate. My father did teach me well. I have done many missions and was successful. This was my first failure on a mission. It was my failure so I'll take the consequences." She hopes the punishment won't be so bad because she was still a child and hopes this was a test to see if she can take the wasn't so scared.

(Please don't kill her and don't make the punishment to bad.) -Dances-
