As the last goon crumples to the ground, I breathe a sigh of relief - only to have the gesture cut short as two of the most high ranking Wolfgang generals appear before us. I listen carefully as they speak, my brow furrowing as they continue their tale. I resist the urge to snort when they offer their reputation, seeing that Arthur was getting infatuated by their words. I, however, was not. A broken soul is easily led astray, I suppose... but also led back onto the path of righteousness, hopefully.
"I applaud your efforts, you two, but it truly isn't enough. Do you really have faith in Ulric? He who would treat his highest officers as mere pawns, and most of his army as expendable? Why do you think he would be capable of molding Eubric into some place truly free, when you're just all just tools to him? For the love of Helvetia almighty, he can't even weild the power he has correctly - if he could, he'd keep a damn leash on his thugs! I've seen then mug and rob people on the streets for nothing but profit. You say the hovels love you, the poor applaud you, and yet... why haven't we ever seen that?"
I down a Mead, Nostrum, and Smelling Salts.
"The "Perfect Eubric" your owner would like to establish is a farce - and I'm sure he is well aware of it, too. You've become quite complacent with your ideals ever since Ulric came to town, haven't you? Probably is the best way to his bed, but I digress..."
With a roll of my shoulders I remove the Croise Armor, instead coiling the Shackles of War along my arm. I brandish my bow to the two wolfgang, the elemental gems within it thrumming with power. Though they can't see it, I can't help but smile a devilish grin... The two elemental gems thrum with power, the bow cold to the touch and its arrows slathered in a thin layer of darkness.
"You see this bow, you two? Designed to massacre werewolves, and humans as well if need be. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Now, tell me, how many arrows from this bow would it take to end you? Two? Perhaps three? And remember, lady and gentleman, there will be no escape for you if you fight. Choose wisely."
I turn to look at my other two party members.
"I only hope you two will stand with me."
