A New Power

[ObsidianKnight]

Armiena slips back into the forest, and heads for the hills. About an hour later, she sees the corpse of an Imperial, most likely a soldier.

Geez, not even a helmet... It occurs to Armiena that the man that killed him was likely a rebel.

She continues to search the corpse, but the man was very thorough. The only things left were his gauntlets and pauldrons, which she takes.

 

Armiena sees a small cooking fire, and decides to head there.

The snakes body sizzled in the bubbling greece, the aroma from the onions filling the air.

 

I think we should take Belanser Watch Tower Tonight Quarian said to the surprise of his two partners.

[Breton Thief Oriana]

"I wish i knew where that was," replied Kataiyo, " could you please pass the crawfish and rice? thank you."

 

Kataiyo slurps down the head of a freshly garlic-seasoned crawfish. He then gobbles down a small helping of rice.

 

"Well, that was a nice meal for living off the land. Miss, you seem the most unprotected of us. I would like to extend my courtesy and give you this curiass for your protection." He then hands her the armor.

Quarian throws a crudly drawn map of the land (see attachment) and points to the river island. those two circles there are the towers. They are quite large, multi-roomed and heavily gaurded. Through combat I garuntee that we will all be killed. We must use stealth, and flame. I plan to set fire to the innards of both towers.

[Breton Thief Oriana]

"Is the wilderness around hilly or flat? We could use that to our advantage. I don't think that my combat skills are quite worth your time, but the imperialist guards would recognise me as a chief ally (ooc: SP?) , as I used to spy for them. I could go in and ask questions first. Then, I could report back to you and be on your side as we siege the tower. For the sake of future intellegince missions, the second trip will require a mask."

[Peregrine]

"So you're outnumbered, attacking a fortified tower, and your only chance is an impossible stealth attack....." Quarian and Kataiyo turn to see a cloaked figure walking towards them. Though she carries a longbow with an arrow on the string, it is pointed at the ground and undrawn. "You don't really have any idea what you're doing, do you? What you're talking about is a suicide run... even if you could get in, you'll never get out alive. And for what? So the Empire can burn a few more towns as punishment? What greater plan do you think you're trying to accomplish here?"

[Breton Thief Oriana]

"Excuse my rudeness, Miss, but who exactly are you? And are you a friend or foe? Two attackers could easily put you out of comission if it is the latter of the two," Kataiyo leered at her.

 

Kataiyo was alredy formulating his defenseive moves in his mind as he said this. He soon thought, however, that two arrows would be childs play for a skilled archer to get out, especially since they were sitting down and at point-blank range.

 

"Well, if it is the latter, Quarian, we are pretty much doomed. Seeing as you havent yet killed us, Miss, would you like to share in the bounty of our meal?"

[Peregrine]

"If I wanted you dead, you'd be lying dead with an arrow in your back from a hundred yards away," she says calmly, her words absolutely serious. "And you'd never even have heard it coming. That's my first bit of advice... you're never safe, so don't ever assume you are, no matter how much you might think you are." She walks over to their camp and sits down... still out of reach, and longbow close by her side. "I hate the Empire as much as you do, but careless vengeance will get you nowhere. Now, what is this plan of yours?"

[Breton Thief Oriana]

"If you want the specifics, ask Quarian. I just get Ideas from time to time. But, they would notice me as I used to work for them. I could report about a recent reconocinse mission, fake of course but sounding official. Then I could ask what they want me to do next, what the overall battleplan is, etc. I dont hold any loyalty to them anymore, they had my father poisoned because he started snooping around documents. I wonder where he hid them? The overall plan isn't very realistic on its current member rate; we'd welcome any help we can get, and an archer is definitly an important asset."

[MDRud216]

Honestly death dose not seem like such a bad idea if I get a few of those bastards to burn like my wife and 3 children did. one of them was only four years old, burned alive. Quarian said, never letting his eyes meet the newcomers.

 

then he looked up, staring into them, but I am willing to hold off our first move if you are willing to help us. Originally my plan was to go down to a the local taverns, a few 'agents' at each one and start riots. It would be a good distraction for one, maybe two others to set fire to an important government building. All we need in this stage of our rebellion is small bits of chaos for the Empire to try and take care of.
