Fable: The Ties that Bind (RP Thread)

[Lanzerus]

"Well, since no one is at the gate, I guess its safe if i just. 'invite' myself in." Keaton said pushing his way through the large gates and walking toward the explosion.

[muffinstud]

(sorry bout the disappearance. i moved. that kind of thing tends to take some time.)

Cletus smirks. "Rope nothing. We want this bloke to talk." He stomps over to the fallen bandit and ever not so gently rests his boot on the fallen man. "Now," Cletus starts as he pulls out his axe. "Why would a horrible shot like yourself want to kill little old us?"

[Haylie]

At having a boot shoved onto his body, the Bandit grunts and tries to sit up. Fortunately for Cletus, he'd dropped his sword some ways off when he landed.

"What the bloody hell?!" Upon seeing Cletus, or more likely his axe, he almost wets himself. Then he gets mad again. "Get the hell offa me, you stupid Hero!"


Keaton enters the map room of the Guild, but it looks like several tornados weilding Tomahawk grenades came through and had a party. The map table lies in pieces against one wall, the window above lays shattered on the floor, and several bodies litter the floor, some workers, others Heroes. One crawls slowly toward Keaton and groans loudly.

[Lanzerus]

*he leans down to look at the person*
Are you alright!? Can you tell me what happened?

[Kris_Roth]

Aloena glares at the bandit..."My friend here asked you a question...now, why were you trying to take a shot at us for? Answer me, or Cletus here will let his axe do the talking! " She was feeling a bit unnerved she was threatening violence against another human, regardless of his affiliation.

[Haylie]

The Bandit glanced nervously at the axe again. "Because you lot are with them bloody Heroes! And my boss'll kill me if I don't."


The man is barely audible. "C-can't... win... run... Summoners..." He then faints.

[Kris_Roth]

Aloena nods..."Lyon, get that man's sword, and Cletus, let's find out who this guy works for..." She then glares at the bandit..."So, who's your boss, and why does he want you, of all people, a poor shot, to take out heroes like us for?"

[Shadowmaster]

Lyon picks up and looks over the man's sword. "I'd suggest you answer our questions...after all, it may buy you a few more moments of life. If you cooperate you could always hide from your boss, but your already in our grasp." he says. "I suggest you honestly think about your current predicament."

[Lanzerus]

Keaton stands there after the man faints, thinking over his words. "Can't win, run, Summoners." he thinks harder, then draws his knife from under his belt. "I didn't travel all the way here to be told to run away, What ever lurks ahead, you will fall to the feet of Keaton Darrian!" He begins carefully stepping to avoid stepping on the dead/wounded.

[muffinstud]

Cletus leans on the knee over the bandit, letting his axe dangle ever closer to his head. "Yes. You seem like a smart fellow. You'll at least tell us who this fearsome boss of yours is, won't you?"

[Haylie]

The Bandit slowly turns his head, eyes still on that huge blade (or at least it seems huge to him, it's right in his face). "Alright, fine!" He sighs. "We... we don't know where this bloke came from, but... it calls itself the... Bane, or something stupid like that. I'm thinking he's the source of your wars. That's all I know."



The Guild seems deathly quiet, except for the occasional "boom". They aren't very loud, but it's easy to tell it's coming from somewhere upstairs. A woman dressed in black armor stands at the top of the stairs. Judging by her position, she's not the one responsible for it all. She leans over the railing.
"It's about bloody time! We've been trying to get a Hero here for hours! Get up here, Mum an' Dad won't last much longer!"

[Lanzerus]

Keaton practically bounds up the stairs. "Ma'am, i am just simple traveler, but if I can help I will." he holds his knife in a decent position for slicing and heads in the direction of the explosion.

[Shadowmaster]

"Bane? Can't say I've heard of him." Lyon says. "In any case, if you have no further information for us, your of no further use." He then holds his blade, ready to strike. "Unless your holding back some info?"

[Haylie]

The Bandit now just looks smug. "Well... there was one thing... you know that stupid black-clad girl that was here a few seconds ago? Told you to go back to your bloody Guild?" He gives a small chuckle. "I don't imagine anyone there's alive now. Should've listened, you have."



The woman dashes down a second hallway and suddenly stops at a corner, motioning Keaton to stay down and be quiet. "There's the bloody things... been trying to bust the door down for a good while..."

Nothing is visible around the corner.

[Kris_Roth]

Aloena facepalms when the Bandit volunteers this tidbit of information, "Great, just great. If this were a test, we would have failed it. This guy was just a diversion. The true target was the guild!" She looks to the others..."We should have went back to the guild when we had the chance after taking on that Balverine!"
