Quest: Assassination/Protection

[Griff Trevin]

Griff arrived at the Guild Woods just on dark. Nobody had arrived yet, so he sat down under a tree with Tucker. There appeared to be nobody around the grounds, resumably because they were in bed or they had heard of the assassination attempt and were guarding Aldren already.
Either way, there was nothing Griff could do until the rest of the crew had arrived.

[oberon]

Oberon walked up to the meeting point for the bandits. He had his right hand on the hilt of his sword. Oberon squinted his eyes to spot another bandit member and a dog.
"Griff and Tucker." he mumbled to himself. While walking up to the Bandit Assassin, he waved quickly.

[Griff Trevin]

Griff saw Oberon walking towards him and waved back cheerily.
"Did you encounter anyone along the way? Everyone should be here soon hopefully. I haven't heard back from Magpie either" Griff said
Content to kick back and wait, Griff got a little more comfortable under the tree

[oberon]

"No I didn't. I didn't go back to the camp last night, instead I went to Oakvale and had a drink." Oberon sat down next to Griff and pulled out a biscuit for Tucker. He pulled out his pipe and filled it with tobacco.
"I wonder who all is coming. I know Hawk and Rayvn is, bu I'm not sure about Mapie or anyone else." He lit his tobbaco and smoked a bit.

[Griff Trevin]

"Selena said she would come, as did Albus Grey...Though I'm not sure why" Griff explained.
Tucker ate the biscuit quickly, the natural greed of the labrador showing.
Griff pulled out a bottle of beer and began to drink, trying to pass the time quickly.

[Megan Mexere]

Ravyn arrived, waving at the two other Bandits and a dog.

[Selena Darkheart]

Selena walked up, glad that she wasnt the first to arrive. "Hello Griff. Ravyn. And you would be..." She had never seen Oberon before, ;et alone gotten his name.

[oberon]

"Oberon Grissom." he said taking out his pipe and putting it back into his pocket.

[Hawk]

Hawk appeared from the shadows behind a tree. He walked up to the group wielding his two large swords and nodded to them all.
'Griff, you should take charge of our team' he said whilst leaning on a blackened tree. Hawk scanned the dark forest ready to attack anybody who he didn't recognize.

[Griff Trevin]

"So the only person who isn't here is Albus Grey for Team 2, I think that Team 1 can move in while you guys wait for Albus. Or you could come with us, he should be able to catch up with us. It's up to you's" Griff said to Selena and Oberon.
With that said, Hawk, Ravyn and Griff head out into the darkness keeping a keen eye out for Guards and other Hero's.
Moving quickly through the trees they came to a clearing and could see the Guild hall. Stopping briefly to scan for Guards Griff looked down at Tucker
"Can you smell anything Tucker?" he asked
Tucker put his nose up in the air and sniffed around a bit and then looked up at Griff with a happy look on his face. This meant that there were no Guards nearby and that they could keep moving.
They neared closer to the Guild hall and Griff stopped for a moment looking up. All the lights were out except for one up high on the third floor.
"He must be up there" Griff said pointing at the window.
"Should we go in through the front door or does somebody have a better idea?" Griff asked

[Albus Grey]

Albus wandered up the path, he wondered how on earth he had gotten envolved in this and why. He sighed hopefully the Guildmaster wouldn't die, but if he did there was that position that would magically open. Albus saw the group of people "Hello, I'm here now."

[Selena Darkheart]

"Alright. I think that we are ready now. Are we not, Oberon?" She didn't think that killing the Guildmaster was a good idea, let alone doing it without dyeing. But she needed to move up ranks to do anything real at the bandit camp.

[Aldren Thell]

Aldren sat thoughtfully in his office. The news of the upcoming assassination attempt didn't bother him but the fact that so many former Guildmembers were involved did.

Aldren wondered, as he stared at his terrarrium full of insects, if the large amount of heroes leaving had anything to do with him.

Ravyn, for example. He remembered when she was just a young hero. She had been so good at archery, much better then most of her peers.

His old mind was getting the best of him. He couldn't help but look at these new bandits as children because to him they were. To him they would always be about 10 years old. Now the 10 year olds were going to kill him.

Maybe he would just let them do it.

[Griff Trevin]

Griff clutched his sword tightly in his hand, inspecting it. He had recently procured a Steel Longsword with a sharpening Augment. It glimmered in the moonlight as he waited for one of his bandit mates to speak up with an idea.
He sheathed his sword and looked around for possible points of entry. If possible he wanted to avoid going through the front door, hoping to encounter less resistance. He shuffled around the walls looking for a possible footing, or a way to climb up to the third floor and go through the window. He had no doubt in his mind that Ravyn and himself could climb up there, but Hawk, being a bigger man might not find it so easy.
"We could climb up Ravyn, but Hawk. Would you be able too? Don't think I'm doubting your abilities, its just that your a bit bigger than us, not as agile." Griff said, hoping Hawk wouldn't get the wrong idea.

[Violet Mersain]

Violet ran into the Guildmaster's office and stood beside him.
"Guildmaster, one of the Guards said that he noticed people walking up to the camp. Are you ready?" She had known the Guildmaster since she joined the Guild as a little girl and was willing to help him fight.
"If you don't mind, I will stay in here to help you just in case the breach inside the Guild.

[oberon]

Oberon nodded at Selena with a smile on his face. One of the things he enjoyed was killing. Perhaps it was from the way he was raised as a child or perhaps that he was going crazy.
"Selena and Albus, if any of you want to lead go ahead. If not, I will since neither Hawk or Griff assigned one for this group."

[Magpie]

Magpie saw what the Guildmaster was thinking. He could see by the look in his eyes. Maybe it was time that they both went.
"Violet. Can you quickly send word to the guards to have a small defense for the front gate, and heavy defenses for the windows and such things." Magpie said to her.
Magpie turned to Aldren.
"I will try to talk them out of it. I know you don't want any deaths today." Magpie whispered, before climbing out the nearby window and landing next to Hawks bandits, they all turned to look at him.

[Griff Trevin]

"Magpie" Griff said grasping the handle of his sword.
"I take it your not here to help us, very well. Say what you have to say before this begins" Griff said

[I'll ignore the fact that you didn't actually know where we were, but try not to use knowledge of our posts to give yourselves an advantage. My reason for saying this is that you organised heavy defenses for the window which we were planning on going through and also jumping out the window to land right beside us. Like I said, I'll ignore it this time but please refrain from it in the future]

[Magpie]

[[Oh yeah i see. Sorry. I wasn't particularly thinking about it at the time.]]

"Go back to the Camp. I don't want any deaths today, and you know not all of you will make it out of this." Magpie said to his old friend Griff.

[Griff Trevin]

[lol it's all good ]

"It has to be done Magpie, we're making a name for ourselves, and this old man is past his prime. I think we're doing them a favor here at the Guild anyway. If he dies then another will take his place, some one younger, stronger and willing to train these Hero's the way they should be. If he dies Magpie, maybe you could take over the role of Guildaster" Griff explained, hoping Magpie would see his way of thinking.

Griff extended his hand out to Magpie
"Come on Magpie, are you with us or not. It helps everybody. We make a name for ourselves, the Guild gets a new Guildmaster and an old man gets to rest. It's win win for everyone"
