@ Mannan

"We're all here, sir, plus the two extra friends Charlotte mentioned."

He didn't even remark on Chris' sudden appearance; he would have been more surprised had the assassin not followed along.

[Haspen]

@Valor:

The boy looked at Valor with some uncertainty.

"Um, my puppy ran into an alley but my mom told me to never go into alleys alone... can you go with me?"

@Charistoregor:

Danya let out a 'hmph!' when she heard Charlotte.

"If you're talking about Prixima Kesselring, yes. We were worried you might've ran back to her or something of that kind. We lost track of you when you went for the border, and afterwards I didn't have enough money to further employ spies."

"Now we're here."

"Yes, indeed. We are trying to find some... any support in Menelea, and Lady Commander here is the first person to lend her ear. But, with support or not, we will storm the castle and I've managed to secure a way in that will let us bypass the courtyard and lower floors, and the apparently huge army of mercenaries that Prixima have hired." He nodded when he heard that rest of the team is here.

"Clearly, the mad plan we made up is looking better and better with every second, but I have to ask - are you and your group willing to participate in attack on Prixima's castle? I must warn you that I no longer have large sum of money to speak of. The most I can give you would be enough for you to buy some medicine or maybe a weapon or two."

[SeriousConcentrate]

"This I would do for free. Yes, I'll go with your plan."

[Blade Master Model 42]

"She warned you about alleys but not talking to armed strangers? Well whatever. Let's go find your dog. Which way?"

[Sirus]

"Well, I admit the idea of attacking Prixima directly has come up a few times as of late...I guess some of us would be willing to join in, though I'm not sure they all will."

[Haspen]

@Valor:

"This way!" The boy quickly ran toward the alley between two tall houses not far from the plaza.

@Chrigreglotte:

"Very well. I won't even try hiding that for some it might be a suicide mission... but I have nothing left to lose, really."

"I'm here to help only because I was ordered to by Count Mackerey." Dag shrugged.

"Well, I surely can provide supplies, but not weapons. Providing weapons to third parties could be done only as act of counter-insurgency and because Prixima Kesselring doesn't act like she plans an insurgency, I cannot justify this in any way. However, we're free to hand over medicine to people in need. Poor, cold-stricken group of traveling mercenaries sure count." Syrea winked at Gregor.

[Blade Master Model 42]

Valor followed after he boy, even though he had a feeling it might be a trap.

[Haspen]

@Valor:

"This way!" The boy led Valor into an alley, and then around the corner, and then another. Valor could clearly hear some doggy whimpering behind a pile of crates and barrels.

"Can you get him out of there?"

[SeriousConcentrate]

"I'm not worried about it being a suicide mission. I won't be able to rest easy until my conscience is clear, and I can only do that by making sure Prixima is stopped."

[Blade Master Model 42]

Valor looked around, and provided he saw no one laying in wait, began moving the top most crate/barrel.

[Haspen]

@Valor:

There was, indeed, no-one else as far as Valor could tell. And then he moved the topmost crate.

And then he noticed that there was no dog.

In the very same moment, he felt something sharp pushing at his back.

"I wouldn't recommend shouting for help, my friend. You may, however, turn around at your leisure."

[Blade Master Model 42]

"Yeah, see, this is why I don't normally do charity work." Valor said sourly as he turned around. "... I don't think I know you. What do you want?" More importantly, can I get help here before I die?

[Sirus]

Gregor shook his head.

"I want to stop Prixima as well, but let's do everything in our power to get back from this alive, okay? I'm sure many of us would like to live a somewhat-normal life after this. Grow old, have families, stuff like that." He cast a sidelong glance at Charlotte as he said this. "Do you even have any sort of escape plan yet?"

[Haspen]

@Valor:

"Oh, indeed, we never did the formalities. I'm Ernest. Chris' former companion. You might have heard of me." Ernest went silent for a second, and then his eyes flashed slightly.

"I would like to offer you a deal, Valor."

@Greglotteris:

"Well, uh... that depends if Magister Tiron can do the teleportation trick twice in a row in short amount of time. That's why I said it might be a suicide mission. Then, again... we have a Kesselring officer on our side who was my inside informant for few weeks now. If we manage to kill Prixima, the mercenaries might lose heart, and the soldiers might stand down at the officer's orders. At least, that's what I hope will happen."

[Blade Master Model 42]

Valor narrowed his eyes at Ernest. "I don't seem to recall him mentioning you, at least not by name. And, obviously, you have my attention."
