Well, that was almost too easy. I quickly snuff the life out the smaller rats with my boots, and as my crossbow bolt strikes the bigger one coming at me, it doesn't take long for the pitiful creature to feel the effects of venom I coated the bolt with, as it's speed is certainly hindered. As it pitifully makes it's way toward me, my "partner" in this mission uses one of her throwing knives to injure the rat even further. Kuhuhu, this is almost too easy. "*sigh* I better end it cleanly." Normally, I would love, taking my time to torture the creature to death... oh how tempted it be to breaks it's jaw with my gauntlets and slowly cut it apart with my blade, after the immobilization has set. Alas, we were given a mission, and we're probably going to be graded on the job we do, so I don't have time to waste. I walk up to the creature with my blade and cleanly take off it's head. "A better death than it deserves." I must being forced to hold back my true urges to slaughter everything in sight as me a bit on edge, but soon it will all pay off. I just need to continue the act a bit longer... Looking over the giant rat's corpse, I pull out my used crossbow bolt and the woman's throwing knife and study it, trying to learn whatever I can from it about the woman who was aiding me. Information was always important when dealing with people, the more you have, the more power you have over others, kuhuhu. "This is... a nice knife. I appreciate the help, but it was... unneeded." |

The man in dark armor was skilled though his opponents not up to his standards. Of course, they were fighting rats. Sure some of them were almost dog sized but rats were still rats. However, unlike her partner Selene had no complaints about this job. She wasn't fuzzy about money or challenge and she would never complain about easy money. Sure she could go back to stealing but at the moment she didn't feel like.
Selene turned her attention the approaching pack of rats. She closed her eyes and removed her dark vision. With her kukri held ready, she moved closer to the dark warrior while drawing more throwing knives. Thanks, I see~ I See then I won't get in the way." Selene said light heartedly. She pointed her dagger at the incoming rats.
She slashed at one small rat that jumped at her then moved up behind Leahpar and on the stair steps. "I'll rely on you Mister." She said, as she began to throw daggers at the incoming rats, specially aiming at the pesky smaller ones. Since for the most part her throwing daggers were enough to end them.

As I eliminate the opponents before me, my "partner" deals with her querry, dispatching them with haste, in response to my words, positions herself right behind me, and says she won't get in my way for the rest of them. ... Clever... I'll make sure to get some sort of payment from her for this. "So... I'm to play the part of the knight defending a lady from an onslaught of rats, kuhuhuhu, very well, but..." I show her the dagger she threw at the giant rat I just killed to help weaken it. "I'll be taking this as a payment, for my services for course." I step down from my position to directly face the creatures, clad in my armor, it will be hard for there bites or claws to get threw to my armor. A shame, I do love having others do my work for me, but against something trivial like these, I guess it wouldn't hurt to get right into the fray of things. I wait patiently for the small rats to approach so I can stomp them out. As for the giant rats, I ready my crossbow and shoot in their direction, with my sword arm ready to deal with them when they get close. |

Selene smiled with almost a childish glee at his companion's reply. He was certainly a character. Because he had amused her Selene didn't mind losing out on one of her throwing knives. "My oh my~" She said, while drawing and throwing one knife at a small rat trying to circle around Leahpar. "Well chivalry is long dead, so fair is fair. Please my deadly champion, finish off this poor critters!" Selene laughed delighted, threw another dagger at a small rat.
The swarm of rats if could be called like that, charged at the stairs with a frenzy. However, with Selene's accurate throws she was able to take out the smaller rats with one hit. Her plan was to clear the fodder so her knight in not shinning armor could concentrate on murdering the bigger rats without having to worry about a rat finding it's way between his armor plates and turning into a nuisance.
If their strategy held, then the onslaught of rats should be taken care of soon enough, after some sweating of course. The ale here better be tasteful, otherwise Selene might actually reconsider taking further contracts with for the fat elf.

Looking at the remaining vermin, it seems there are ten small rats and three giant rats left. Kuhuhu. I tur around and face the woman standing behind me, and say. "Hold this position and snipe the small ones, I will end this... for the most part... kuhuhuhu." I reload the crossbow in my left hand, with the same bolt I used on the giant rat I killed, before stepping down to deal with the rats up close and personal. I step on the small ones that get past Selene's knives, and examine the three remaining giant rats. The biggest one is the furthest away waiting for its chance to strike, while it seems the other two are charging at me. Excellent... I ready my crossbow in my left hand, and as soon as I can make out the giant rat fully I shot the creature through it's skull, killing it instantly. The other charging rat, stops for bit as it begins to realize its outmatched, but that won't spare it from me. With the sword in my right hand I charge at the vermin and stab it threw its skull. Normally, I'd like to savor my kills, but I was being sufficiently generous to these creatures. After all, if they can be obedient and trained, they may prove useful. I however, only need the strongest among them for what I have in mind, kuhuhuhu. I make my way toward the remaining giant rat, the biggest and most menacing looking of the lot, and gently put my hand over the creature's head. "There, there... I know it must have been quite the order, watching your family suffer like that... but business is business... my partner and I have been task with your elimination for a merger amount of coin and free... drinks. If however you can be obedient and do as I say, I'd be more than happy to let you live here and get fat to your heart's content. Provided it becomes worth it to do so..."
I then glance in the direction of my partner, to judge her reaction. I was clearly suggesting treason against the man that hired us, but she didn't seem like the type who cared about such things, if she too can get something out it. I call out to my partner. "So, what do ya say, partner? You in?"

With an aloof looking smile that half showed a lack of motivation, Selene began to throw her daggers at the smaller rats. That was going to be her strategy anyway but well she liked when men were firmed, sometimes... Though her expression showed the opposite, Selene quite seriously felled the smaller rats with accurate throws. Though hardly a lethal weapon against larger individuals, against vermin such as these she might as well be a natural killer. Well if she was that, then her armored companion was a relentless killing machine. It made Selene not want to get on his bad side. She ran out of throwing daggers soon enough, so while Leahpar breezed through the larger rats. Though with the quick work of her Kukri she took out the remaining ones, efficiently supporting her ally. As she finished the last of the smaller rats, she looked with a degree of awe as Leahpar approached the biggest and last of the giant rats. "Woah you can talk to animals! that's pretty handy~" She said, lightly clapping her free hand with the flat side of her Kukri. As far as his idea and proposal. Selene was hardly troubled by it, she wasn't being merciful or anything but well, she was a sucker for secrets as it was proper for any Dusk walker of Shar and these turns of events suited her just fine. "Sure sure, I don't mind at all." Selene shrugged her shoulders. Narration The rat watched the carnage unfold. It did not regret it, they had fought to defend their borrow and they had lost. Though anger lashed inside of it, it's instincts became frozen when the foul smelling knight approached it. For the first time in it's life the rat felt small and meaningless, not even as a baby it had felt that sensation. So it froze.
It heard the foul metal men speak to it. The rat wasn't intelligent enough to understand it, but it did unfreeze the mind of the rat.
It bared it's teeth and lunged straight for Leahpar's neck. It didn't matter if it's teeth couldn't puncture the steel, it would do it's best to kill the interloper, the slayer of it's kin!!!Selene watched the events unfold and honestly laughed out loud. " Hahahahaha! Looks like the negotiations failed~"

As I face my partner and her about what I'm doing, she replies that she doesn't mind. I figured as much, she seems the type of person unconcerned with such things. As I face her, the giant rat I was attempting to convince makes it's decision and jumps at me, aiming for my neck, grasping it's large jaw and fangs on the plate mail over my neck. "..." It's teeth don't quite have the power to break through, but along with the laughter I can hear from my partner, it seems this gambit failed. I shrug my shoulders and say. "Oh well... such is life..." I grab the creature trying to kill my, by it's neck forcing it off me, as I slam it to the floor. It screams from the impact, but those noises it make are quickly silenced my hands still on the creature, as I snap it's neck. "Well, that was easier than expected... I forgot the feeling of actually going out and doing the dirty with my own two hands. hmhmmhmhm Oh well, tis a start to get back into my previous position of being the one that gives orders. It's only... a matter of time... hahahaha" I turn around and face my "partner" and address her. "Our mission is complete, we best head toward the chubby owner and collect our reward. ... Unless, there is something more you desire?" |

When the "boss" rat's neck got snapped by the plated hands of Leahpar. Selene just comically covered her mouth with one hand and said "Whoops". Still she was in a rather good mood. "Well I can certainly see your flair for giving orders." Selene said, as she began to descend the stairs. "Oh yes, yes quite done. Just need to pick up my pretties haha." She laughed, somewhat embarrassed as she plucked one of her throwing daggers from a dead rat. Narration After all was said and done. Both Selene and emerged from the cellar's to be greeted by several curious workers peering from several corners. Most of the tavern seemed to be more set to receive costumers and it seemed like they were getting the final touches ready before opening proper.
The owner Ellanthid was by the main counter and was polishing a pint of glass. At first he smiled, then made strangely anxious expression as he glared up and down at Selene and Leahpar.
"Ah, good job you two." He murmured, then placing the pint away he grabbed his coin pouch and emptied it. He expertly counted 20 silver coins and laid them out on the clean counter. "Twenty Silver as agreed, ten for each of you and you a special tab has been made available to you two, you two alone. I have a business to run." He said, while emphazising that he didn't want the free drinks tab to be abused. Then looked up and down at the two adventurers again. "Oh, go out the backdoor, I don't want the..." The chubby elf paused while looking for the right word. "The grime on my floors." He said with some apprehension. Seems like Ellanthid was a clean freak.
