Sylvia attempted to give a more genuine smile as she dropped the coins into the bigger bag hung across her body. “Thank y-” Marchande cut her off, promptly pressing an index finger against her lips. “Oh, no, no. No thanks. I live to serve my Kingdom.” He removed the finger from her mouth to grab her shoulders, spinning her around. “And information! More important than money, I’m sure you would agree. In the back of that building,” he pointed a meaty finger straight ahead of them, “there is a popular gambling hang out. A hole in the wall, per say. It has been made known to me than two men have been frequenting the spot as of late, boasting about having remnants from a VSS crash site. They have been gambling these remnants through a sort of life or death roulette game. Thus far, there have been many dead bodies emerging from those doors but an unsurprising lack of Service property.”

Slipping free of the man’s grasp, Sylvia gave a small, somewhat sarcastic bow of gratitude before starting towards the half hidden side door of the building ahead. “Oh, and Sylvia? We are friends, are we not?* Impatiently, Sylvia nodded her agreement. “Then allow me to ask: if you save a killer, what does that make you?” The big man shrugged, turning back towards the direction they came from. “Something to ponder.”

Sylvia stood in silent for a moment, watching Marchande waddle away. If you save a killer, what does that make you? She shook the thought away, continuing towards the building.

Hole in the Wall, Canifis

The small building (which, ironically, was named the Hole in the Wall) was filled almost to the brim with grungy looking men of all ages, garbed in tattered clothes and armed with rusty weapons. When Sylvia entered, every eye turned to her. In the semi-silence, she noticed, somewhat nervously, that she appeared to be the only female in the premises. After a few seconds, the loud bang of a gunshot jolted the collective gaze of the room away from her and towards the back corner of the building. It seems I’ve found my guys. Running her finger across the handle of the VSS issued pistol hidden in the back belt of her pants under her shirt, Sylvia made her way to the table, pushing silently past the people standing all around.

“Oh, don’t let the blood stains of the last poor dégénéré discourage you! The prize is still up for grabs! Genuine Varrockian Secret Service weaponry, right here! A once in a lifetime opportunity, my friends. Only available from us, Gelo and Gipp.” The voices of the two men rang out above the din of the rest of the building’s occupants. On the table in front of them sat four rather old looking, rusting pistols that appeared to be homemade, lacking proper safety measures and any sort of markings. “Step right up! Ya’s bet ya money, we spin the table, and from there it’s up to the Gods, or luck, or whatever you ******** believe in!”

Sylvia shoved a scrawny man aside, throwing down five gold coins from Marchande’s money pouch onto the table. “I’ll play.” She gave them a light smile.

“Oh-ho, a woman! With more balls than the lot of you!” The man on the left, the more muscular of the two, winked at her and flashed a large grin, revealing a mouth devoid of teeth. “Alrighty, five gold coins. It works like this: I spin the table, you pick a gun. Three are empty, one is loaded. Ya pick one up, put it right up to ya temple, and pull the trigga. If it’s loaded, well, BOOM!” The man on the right threw himself against the speaker’s shoulder dramatically, playing dead. “If it’s empty, ya’s the brand new owner of a fine piece of weaponry. Ready, sweetheart?” At Sylvia’s nod, the man, who she perceived to be Gi*p, stood up and gave the table a spin. Sylvia narrowed her eyes, watching the guns on the table closely. As the table spun lazily, three of the four guns wobbled along with it. The last one, which appeared to in somewhat better condition than the others, stayed firmly in one place. Curious.

Once the table came to a halt, Sylvia raised her gaze back up to Gelo and Gipp. She reached in her bag, pulling out five more gold coins and offered them to the two men. “Say, would you mind spinning it again before I pick? Two is my lucky number.”

Gelo and Gipp exchanged a look before shrugging. “Sure, sweety, if it makes ya feel better.” Gipp chuckled, giving the table another good spin. Three guns wobbled. The fourth stayed still. The table came to a stop.

“‘Aighty, best be pickin’.”

Casually, Sylvia picked up one of the wobbly guns and placed the barrel hard against her temple, starring Gipp firmly in his eyes. The ragged man kept the toothless smile on his face, but his eyes conveyed a hint of worry.

“Oh, you two first! I’m not ready.” Sylvia frowned, and the two men glanced at each other again before picking up a gun each. The two remaining wobbly guns. Gipp put the gun to his head and pulled the trigger, followed by Gelo. A soft click emanated from each of the weapons, but no fabled boom. “Oh,” Sylvia pouted. “Doesn’t look good for me then, boys.” Swiftly, she pulled the trigger. The gun gave off the same soft clicking sound but, once again, no gunshot boom. “Aw, man, that was close.” Sylvia sat the gun slowly back down on the table, smirking at the two men before her. The smiles on both of their faces had faltered. She leaned in close, stomaching the foul smell of their decaying mouths. “Not only is that “Varrockian Secret Service weaponry” mine, it seems that you two imbeciles have realized I caught onto the secret behind the little hustle you have going on here. Clever, I won’t lie. It’d be a shame if these men found out there has been two little scammers among them, killing their friends with promises of “fine weaponry”. However,” she shrugged at them, “if you simply take me to where you found this weaponry, that won't have to happen.”

VSS Crash Site

The strench of rotting flesh hung in the air, thick as it mixed with the heavy fog of the Hallowland swamp. Gelo and Gipp pinched their fingers hard against their noses, pointing towards a large piece of mangled metal ahead of them. They had been walking for the better part of the day, finally ending up just a few miles out from Burgh de Rott. “Over there,” Gipp grumbled, “that’s where we found the weapons. That wasn’t a lie, ya see? But...before we could snatch ‘em, some of those nasty Vyres came sniffing around, so we got outta here. When we came back, there was nothin’ left but dead bodies." As the group approached, the limp figures of humans were visibly strewn across a small area outside of the crashed gnomecopter. “See? We could tell theys were part of the Service ‘cus of the little symbol on their clothes….well, the ones that weren’t all burned up.”

Sylvia walked past the two men, bending down to take a look at what was remaining of the dead man’s uniform in front of her. The face was burned beyond recognition, but a very small symbol remained visible on the shoulder of the black uniform. Wardog. Sylvia heart pounded uncontrollably inside of her chest. She picked herself off the ground, walking among the bodies outside of the ruins of the gnomecopter. With some relief, she noticed that none of the bodies resembled that of Jon Church. She peered inside the gnomecopter, once again finding no signs of life or of Church.

“Say...sweety, what’s ya concern with this anyways? Got a husband in the Service or something? A lover? No common person is gonna be so up in the business of the Service, nuh-uh…” As Gip* droned on, Sylvia heard the faintest click sound from behind her, followed by a soft fizzling. She threw herself onto the ground, rolling quickly to the right, just as a metal bullet zipped past her, followed by a loud bang . Instinctively, she grabbed the pistol from the back of her belt and pushed herself off of the ground, turning 180 degree towards the two men. Gelo stood, wide eyed, a gun pointed towards her in a trembling hand. Sylvia aimed her own pistol at the silent man. “Hey…” Gipp stuttered, “hey, just a misunderstanding, ya know? Ma friend here did*’t mean to...he wasn’t aimin’ for ya, ya know? An accident….”

Sylvia pulled the trigger of her own gun, sending a bullet lodging into Gello’s throat. A stream of red flowed down onto the collar of his tunic as he dropped to his knees, emitting a soft gurgling sound. Swiftly, she turned and aimed the gun towards Gipp. “Yes, and that was an accident on my part, you see? I did*’t mean to pull the trigger. My finger slipped.”

“I...I, hey, yea, you’s a nice woman and all. Ya would never mean to kill a man, no way.” He laughed uncontrollably, nervously. “Yea, yea, I did*’t see nothin’ at all, ya know? Nothin’. I can act like this neva happened.” He gestured to his still dying partner on the ground next to him. “Who’s he? Gello who? I ain’t never know him.”

Sylvia shook her head, taking a few steps closer to the trembling man. “We both know that’s not possible.” She gave him a sad smile, shrugging. “You were a lot of help, though, Gipp. Thanks a lot.” The man turned, frantically and unsuccessfully trying to run away in the muddy terrain. Sylvia pulled the trigger of her gun again, this time lodging a bullet in the back of the man’s head. He made a weak squeaking sound, convulsing softly before landing face down in the muddy ground.

Sylvia sighed, pushing a strand of hair out of her face and placing her gun back in it’s hiding spot behind her shirt before heading back over to the first lifeless member of Wardog she had encountered. She ran her thumb slowly across the group symbol, glancing up and noticing for the first time a trail of dark red blood leading into the bushes beyond the mangled remains of the gnomecopter.

If you save a killer, what does that make you?

OH MY GOD, THE RANGERS ARE FINALLY BACK! I have much faith in the Prodigal Son, Niterein. Lead the best subclan that has ever existed to victory! #tkr4lyf

Also, I think you guys have made an awesome change to the recruitment process. Still sticks to the great tradition requiring a forum app, but you've expertly adapted to the modern landscape of how RS operates. Great idea!

Keep it up, guys!
