TownHaika walks into Ye Eyepatche Shoppe, and comes out with an eyepatch. He then goes to Will the tavernman and tries to talk him into coming peacefully after asking for a bit of privacy.
(2+1) "Sure, I'll have a private chat with yonder piratical shaper." He points Haika to the backroom.
"Qwon wants to talk to you
now." Haika says, getting straight to the point. Will asks why. "Because he thinks you know the rebels' password."
"Why would I know that? Has the town suddenly teleported near the rebel camp or something?"Will asks, annoyed.
"Because you're the tavern owner. much is said and done in these kinds of places." Haika replies. The Tavernman ponders this for a moment, then yells at Zeke over the niose from the front.
(6) "Zeke! Bring that barrel over here. The 'special' one." Will says, backing away a bit in a way that seems to be so Haika can see it by himself. "I'll admit there has been a certain man by the name of Kir here, but thats all I know. He wouldn't tell me whats in this barrel, so I can only assume it was supposed to be hidden for the Shapers. Although if you're asking about rebels..." Will says, seeming to pick up on something, "perhaps it was supposed to be hidden from the Shapers....
I'm just going to step out now. Whatever it is, I don't want any part of it. What was your name again?"
"Shaper Haika"
"Well good evening to you then, Shaper Haika. I hope thats what you wanted, but don't shoot the messenger if it isn't!" Tavernman Will says, walking back up to the counter in a somewhat hurried fashion.
Gate"Great, at least some still follow the old, honorable ways. I'd been prepared to tackle you." The Guard says. "I am Guardian Zitan, formerly of Commander Kizarn."
"Guadian Ima, of Commander Steve."
"Well met! Serviles, retreat please." The servile squad does, though several of them look sad they didn't get to do anything. "Ok then, now that that is out of the way, En garde!" Zitan says, drawing his sword quite fast.
(4,3) (3,4) The first strike is blocked by both, and Ima can see that Zitan has a better sword than him, it being of the runed steel variety, but the armor is no different.
In the camp"Go sneak into the shaper hall or something, you blabbering probably former apprentice! I do not have the time to be teaching newbies how to be good at leading." The rebel leader says to Hikari annoyedly. He then returns to his maps and folderfuls of information as a familiar shaper walks in.
"Sir, are you too busy for a question?" Hikari hears Anoth says while he is walking out of the tent. He turns to him with a slightly less annoyed look.
"I don't recognize you, but at least you're polite about it. What is it, newbie shaper?"
"I've just come here from the shaper hall as an apprentice after Shaper Rik-"
"You mean Agent Kir?" he interrupts.
"Is that what his real name is? well anyway, after he told us about the rebellion, and it sounds interesting, but what are we actually doing?" Anoth finishes.
(3) "Like everyfreakingbody else, I will tell you when I have the plan finished. Now out with ye!"(2) Kaguro gets lost in the camp. He does manage to meet Anoth, though.Shapers
