    His trained ear picks up whistling arrow as it streaks by Darksten, but it is too late as it strikes old man soon after. As the flames consume him, the assassin returns fire by unleashing arrows into the mass of raiding beasts. As his arrows fly, he says a quick prayer, to the gods he doesn't really believe in, that he does better in this battle than last... Darksten attacks Bugbear Defender Mob from the back.
  2. Comrade Commander
    Darksten eyes the old man as he approaches, and after a moment, identifies him as the man from the inn. He hadn't chatted with him, but since he seemed to have been invited by one of the other heroes he had to trust he was good. Plus, since the old man carried a staff, he figured he had to have some sort of magical ability which the assassin hoped could prove useful. He just prayed they weren't going to divide the loot another way now... "Welcome, I'm Darksten."

    The assassin rolls his eyes as the harlot bows, and either doesn't hear, or chooses to ignore the words whispered after. Returning the conversation back to the topic at hand, he asks the Commodore "Will any of your men be accompanying us tomorrow, or shall it be just our lot?" "I am curious if there will be any survivors of previous trips among them."
  4. Comrade Commander
    After a bitter night alone, and quiet march that had the assassin shooting spiteful glances towards the harlot the entire way, Darksten is happy to move on with the quest. "A pleasure" Darksten replies to the commodore "My name is Darksten." "Are you the team we are accompanying back?"
  5. Comrade Commander
    Darksten scoffs at the words that Heckz tries to throw at him. He knew full well who was the better man and was ready to let the harlot hear it but with Annienal next to him he bit his tongue. He needed her trust, if only to have the chance to break it later, and it seemed she wanted to be more cordial. It bothered him that she felt he needed help, but he would live with it if it meant he could manipulate her more to his needs. Besides, there was also no sense is dragging out an argument with a whorish fool who he was going to be stuck with for the duration of the quest anyways... "Just pay for your damn room already and go to bed. We're here to bloody help the area, not hurt it by destroying the economy through petty egos" Turning back to the barkeep, the assassin spoke up. "Sorry, if there is one thing I have learned through my life, it is that one can never make promises, and we can never bet on things outside of one's control. We can only try to do what we can with our own power, and that is what I said I would do. But as you can see, we have made it so that he is no longer threatening you, so the situation is better already. What you do with your business is up to you. You can draw the line in the sand now and ensure payment for services rendered, or give in and then live in fear for when the next person will come along to take advantage of you" ooc: hope you feel better K-Nut, tis the season as I have heard of a lot of bugs going around

    "Ah yes, I supposed you are right about the mulled wine. I had tasted a spiced wine once which was chilled and reminded me much of cider and that had been what I was thinking of. But alas you are probably right, so an ambrosia it is. Of course it is named after the fabled food of the gods, brought up to them by winged beasts to dine on. Which beasts and or gods I do not recall as there are so many these days, and from so many cultures and or dimensions. Either way the food is said to have made them immortal as long as they continued to consume it. Of course I guess we do not need that so long as we are in Heroica, but it cannot hurt to dull some of the pain..." The assassin states "Thanks chap, but it seems the lady has more expensive tastes and I am now craving some wine." Darksten continues with a rare chuckle, loosening up just a bit...though still trying to maximize the situation "So we will take one Ambrosia, and one Mulled Wine please" As the conversation moves towards the whore next to him however, his smile fades "He is sadly with us, but unfortunately I cannot control him. I will say however that he probably won't easily find another bed to take a customer to if word got out he was going around beating up innkeepers, and the real leaders of the Sungold Alliance wouldn't appreciate if a key stopping point on their trade route turned away from supporting their cause because of the actions of one man." Darksten states loud enough for the harlot to hear "So no, I cannot promise you won't get hurt, but I can make sure he pays for it if he tries" he finishes, adjusting his slung bow as if to hint it could come to a fight if needed...

    The assassin is disappointed for just a second when he reads the menu and realizes his plan isn't going to work. Though as the seemingly innocent knight removes her helm, Darksten begins to think it wouldn't hurt to play nice... None the less, he speaks to Justin "These must be hard times as I have heard you are... famous...for your Hurricanes, yet I see none listed here. Are supply deliveries that bad?" To the knight he continues the conversation with a smile "well it is a good thing you have that armor then! But if you plan on continuing to wear it, I guess a flaming drink won't help much to cool you down. So that eliminates the brandy. The question then becomes, would you prefer to be inspired by a vintage mulled wine based on years of tradition, or perhaps tonight you would like taste the nector of the gods and feel their strength surge inside you?"
  8. Comrade Commander
    As the heroes waited for the barkeep to bring the menus, Darksten's mind continues to race. He had been embarrassed in front of the group, and the young upstart seemed to have sensed it. He hoped to find a way to redeem himself, or at least distract everyone from what had happened. Then he had an idea... With just a hint of a smile he turns to the knight and says... "Allow me to buy you a drink"
  9. Comrade Commander
    As Darksten entered the inn, he recognized the sign and recalled the last time he was here... or at least the parts his mind hadn't blocked out... Approaching the barkeep as he engages the knight, the assassin also speaks up. "Well, we would be interested in hearing your price Sir, and if you have a drink list, that would be good too"
  10. Comrade Commander
    Darksten awoke flat on his back with one hell of a headache. "Dam" he muttered. He wasn't sure, but he prayed he hadn't been out long. As the knight came over, his first instinct was to try and get up on his own. However, he soon realized his balance was still off so he had to grab her offered arm to stand. Locking eyes, the assassin gave a quick nod before moving towards the inn in search of a place to rest.
  11. Comrade Commander
    Darksten repeats trying hard to track the flittering bug
  12. Comrade Commander
    "Oh bugger" Darksten mumbles as the searing pain from the exploding ants aggregates his old battle wounds. It was a little late, it the assassin was dealing the party didn't have the healers he was used to healing him after every battle. Quickly he launches his counter attack, hoping to get through the battle fast. Darksten attacks firefly B from the back
  13. Comrade Commander
    "Ah, I see" the older assassin said in response, half doubting her stated accomplishments based on his interactions and her prior battle performance "you will have to forgive me then as you just seemed...new" "Any how, shouldn't we be going now?" Darksten said, speaking up for the larger group.
  14. Comrade Commander
    Once Blackgull had finished, Darksten bid his farewell to the Bonaparte and members of the other parties. As the heroes rode back, Darksten sat quietly in the back, not wanting to engage with the larger group. However, upon land the assassin said good by to Captain Lance before turning to the Annienal. "Is this your first quest" he asks conversationally to the young knight as they waited for the party to depart.
  15. Comrade Commander
    As Blackgull commanded, Darksten had found a seat. Thought he ensured it was away from the bloody harlot and prophet who seemed only wanting to raise hell... "I better get good loot out of this trip" the assassin thought to himself. As the new plan was laid out, Darksten seemed more relieved convinced he had chosen the right idea. "The idea of a fort sounds logical." He replies to the group "It gives more security to the city, while also showing people there are plenty of benefits to this plan...especially those concerned about housing. Additonally, a solid land base would allow for more financial gain in the long term in order to offset the costs to the different houses."
  16. Comrade Commander
    As the assassin followed the Captain into the fort, he eyes the the two members already gathered there. The back of his mind told him he knew one of them already, but he couldn't be sure as the guard all seemed to blend together with their uniforms. "I am Darksten, and as my colleague said we are here to assist." He says to the two before continuing "You will forgive me priestess but I do not know much of your order, just happy you are willing to help those of the city" and to the guard present "I believe we met not too long ago, on a raid against some slavers right?"
  17. Comrade Commander
    Darksten ignores the harlots cocky remark and continues the discussion. "With steady jobs, those folks can afford to buy their own houses, and later they will get an education to further help them advance into better careers. Plus they will learn to care for what they have, because they earned it. Thus their basic needs are being provided for, just they aren't given away for free like everyone wants."
  18. Comrade Commander
    Darksten lets out a bit of a sigh as he realizes the foreseeable future held endless political debates and little peace and quiet. Oh well, at least it could be a bit entertaining. "You two, and the rest of those folks, only seem to focus on the short term. A free rooms now can only help a few, while training others that if they can sit around with their hands out they may get something too. Besides, if houses were given to every member of the hovel now, tomorrow there would be a thousand more poor from other cities, and a thousand more after that. It would just create a new group we would have to support, at an unsustainable cost. No, if what they say about the free passage to other places being offered is true, then indeed we are in a good place. Those that would like an easier life can go else where and reduce the burden on our city. Those that stay will earn a living, come to respect what the have, and help the city grow."
  19. Comrade Commander
    Darksten watches as the prophet and harlot lunge at where the enemy the wraith had destroyed once was, wondering why the didn't attack the remaining mob before him. At least the prophet seemed to be blind from the salt water so his mistake was understandable, the harlot must just have been dumb... "Uh guys, the enemy is over here" the assassin directs with his arrow ooc: MOB B was KO'd only MOB A remains...
  20. Comrade Commander
    It takes a second after the wraith's attack for Darksten to realize all the party members were finally standing on the dock. With only one Mob before the, Darksten closes in to help finish them off (but mainly just to avoid getting hit by a bottle again) Darksten attacks MOB A from the FRONT
  21. Comrade Commander
    "Maybe a new Grenadiers detachment of the town watch or Bonaparte's fleet is warranted based on taking advantage of these guy's throwing ability" Darksten grumbles as he retrieves Heckz from the back row.
  22. Comrade Commander
    As Darksten gets pulled up...again...he makes sure to stand in a different position before launching an arrow. If rescued, Darksten attacks MOB B from front row ooc: it seems the dice you are using to calculate the bottles are jinxed. I vote now to discard them for a new set! I have had too much bad luck with jinxed dice already....
  23. Comrade Commander
    The now drenched assassin mumbles some sort of thanks before checking to ensure he has all his equipment and other belongings. Only then does he reach out to grab the smoky water that he assumes is the wraith. Darksten attempts to save Siercon
  24. Comrade Commander
    Darksten starts to respond to the knight, but bites his tongue when the other guy lays into her. Plus, since he was actually fighting (unlike her), he needed to concentrate. A moral debate could wait until the waves settled.... But then more waves are caused as a bottle smashes into the distracted assassin and causes him to tumble off the pier. ooc: it might be obvious, but I just want to say I am always open to suggestions to change my battle stances going forward.
  25. Comrade Commander
    As the strongest connection he had to the Bonaparte clan is thrown into the water, Darksten notches his bow. "Hey you ungrateful lot..." Is all the assassin has time to shout before his arrow is sailing through the air... Watching his compatriots out of the corner of his eye, he is happy to see the team lead dive into the water after the captain. The knight started to worry him however, as she just stood there looking confused. Worse yet, she seemed to just be retreating behind some magic instead of aggressively going after the enemy! As he continues to engage his foes, he quickly replies hoping to quickly get her back in the fight "I bet these thugs would have started a fight any day, even without the current political situation. Some folks just don't like authority or having to do things the right way..." Darksten attacks MOB D from back
