I am Hawk, King of the Bandits.
Anyone who is not a bandit should leave now whilst you have the chance or pay with your life.

Milo saw the sign and continued on ignoring it. "Oi, if you value your life give me five hundred gold!" one bandit shouted. Milo's face was grim, "Well it is good then, that I do not value my life." and with that he shot an arrow bolt into the bandits head.
In the distance he was someone or something, moving towards him...

Knock Knock Knock
'Enter' shouted Hawk in a loud booming voice.
'Sir... There is a man comming up the path, he has already killed a bandit!' gasped a small man.
Hawk sat down on a wooden and without looking at the man he said without mercy 'then ask him why he has come, if he kills anybody else then dispose of him'.
The small man bowed at Hawk and replied 'Right away sir'. With that he rushed out of Hawks home shouting out commands to his fellow bandits.

Waking from the sudden shouting of soldiers, Griff left his tent heading for Hawk's house. As he neared the entrance he addressed one of the soldiers "I am Griff Trevin, new recruit of Hawk's. What is the situation here?"
"A lone person on the path, he has already killed one of our kind and from the looks of his skill many have fallen before him" replied the soldier
"I would like to speak to Hawk immediately" Griff said as he pushed his way through the two bandits guarding his door
Bursting through the door Griff spotted Hawk standing in the centre of the room, as if to be waiting for something "I am sorry to intrude sir, I am Griff, new recruit here at your bandit camp. I have travelled with many bandits, none that are anywhere near as famous as you though sir. I have assessed the situation outside and would like to assist in anyway possible to prove my worth. What would you have me do?" Hawk looked Griff up and down before shifting his gaze to Tucker, who was sitting at his side. Noticing Hawk's look, Griff turned to Tucker "wait outside for me ok?" There was an awkward silence that seemed to hang for what felt like ages before Griff spoke up again "Sir! We must take action now before we lose anymore men! Show that we are not a pushover" Griff bit his tongue, hoping that he hadn't pushed it too far. It was out of character for Griff to speak up like this, but he felt it was necessary to try and prove his worth with his new leader. He stood there in silence awaiting his orders

Hawk stared at the newly made bandit who had burst into his house without asking permission first. The bandit announced himself as Griff and sounded urgent so he let the matter slip.
Hawk listened intently as Griff explained the large situation that was arrising outside and then as he finished Hawk stood still thinking up a plan.
Finally he said, 'Welcome to the Bandit clan Griff. I do realise the situation outside... However I can see that you think this is of serious matter so here is what you should do: Gather up the remaining Bandits who are still fighting at the steep path and retreat back to the top.' Hawk ignored the suprised look on Griffs face and continued. 'As you make it to the top be sure to go and hide. We know that this man is an archer so we shall use that against him. Wait for the man to arrive, break cover and attack at close range. At this he will not be able to attack with a ranged weapon. If you succeed then I will consider raising your rank as you will have proven yourself to be able to command your fellow bandits... Now begone.'

Hearing Hawk's orders was a relief to Griff. Finally, a leader with a sense of responsibility. Griff heeded the orders and ran from the house and head to the steep path with Tucker in tail. Once there Griff looked down the path and to his surprise there was nothing. Nothing but a few dead banits, the rogue man had disappeared. It would be wrong of Griff to 'assume' that the man was completely gone and not just hiding so he walked down onto the path to get a closer look. Searching everywhere possible, in trees and shrubs, Griff believed the man to be gone "Can I take credit for this? Clearly he fled in terror of what was going to happen to him. I best go tell Hawk of this" Griff thought Back at Hawk's home, Griff asked permission this time before entering his humble abode. "Hawk, I have come to report on the matters on the steep path" Griff could see the confused look on Hawk's face, as if to say "where is his head?" but Griff continued "I arrived at the path but I was too late,the man had already killed a few of our men and then fled. Maybe just testing the water to see how we fair in battle. What would you have me do? I would really like to strike this man down for his actions against our clan"

Glenroy had gone for a walk while the owner of the bowerstone blacksmith "Cutting edge" was getting the deeds officialy signed over. He had been knocked out from behind and carried away. He awoke being dragged up a steep path by two bandits. Immediately he sprung up and punched one of the bandits out cold. "Oh cra..." the other bandit begun, before Glenroy grabbed the unconscious badit's sword and rammed it into the other's chest. The man fell to the ground blood pouring from the wound. Before Glenroy turned he noticed another dead bandit with an arrow in his head. He also noticed a man with a dog standing beside what seemed like a giant at the top of the hill. Glenroy turned and ran back down the hill. He didn't stop running till he reached the closest town.

Hawk smiled and replied, 'I am glad to see that you are trust worthy for most of my people would have claimed of his death and reaped the rewards. You on the other hand did not, I respect that.
Now what you should do is travel down to Oakvale and find a man named Meaty. He will tell you where the man you are searching for is. However what you must know is if you decide to do this then you will gain +10 karma which is saying that you are a Good person not Evil. Do you want this information badly enough? If not then remain here and gain +10 Evil points.'
Hawk stared at Griff and tried to guess which choice he would chose... Find the man he is looking for or go against that and remain by his Bandit King for further instructions.

Glenroy arrived at the steep path again this time by free will. He eliminated the bandits on guard duty with his bow and snuck into the camp. Past sleeping bandits and into the second tier he encountered no-one. Into the third tier he went sneaking. He finnaly found the tent he was looking for. Hawk's. It wasn't a tent. It was a marquee. The sheer size of it overwhelmed Glenroy. He found Hawk asleep. He slid his hand over Hawk's mouth and held the same knife from the shop to Hawk's throat. Hawk woke and remained calm, not struggling. Whispering, Glenroy said "Hello their Hawk. I've heard that you have quests after me. Now thats not fair is it? All them against little me? Well I just killed ten getting in here. So you call off the quests for me OK? 'Cause otherwise this knife is going to make a slicing motion across your throat. And thats sore. Very sore. So will you be a good girl and do what I say? Also don't expect to get into Bowerstone because I told the guards. Yeah the tables have turned. So you gonna listen or die?

"Look Hawk I don't have a problem with you. Well apart from the looting and murdering but lets start over. You call off the quests I call off the guards. No discount but I will sell to you and your men. Not that I wouldn't kill them in a second. But on the off chance that you turn good I'll sell to you and your men. Turn good then maybe i'll give you a discount. So what'll it be? Whispered Glenroy.

After thinking on Hawk's proposition Griff had decided that it would be best to stay in the bandit camp instead of persuing revenge. Griff exited his tent and made his way to Hawk's house. Along the way he couldn't shake this feeling something bad was about to happen, and also noticed that Tucker was extremely cautious as well. Griff approached Hawk's quarters with caution, moving silently with Tucker at his heel. As he peered through the side of the door Griff noticed a man with a knife to Hawk's throat. "Are you kidding? What is this guy trying to prove?" Griff thought to himself
Griff could hear the man whispering "Look Hawk I don't have a problem with you. Well apart from the looting and murdering but lets start over. You call off the quests I call off the guards"
Deciding the best course of action at this point would be to save Hawk immediately, Griff knelt down and whispered to Tucker "Ok boy, See that man? Bite the arm with the knife in it ok? I'll do the rest" In a flash Tucker burst through the door biting the man on the arm before he had a chance to even see what was going on. Griff followed in closely behind Tucker and grabbed the man and repeatedly started punching him in the back of the head until he was unconcious and fell limply to the floor. Griff grabbed some rope off the floor nearby and proceeded to tie the mans hands and feet, and gagged his mouth. Grabbing his feet he began to drag the man outside while speaking to Hawk "I'm sorry Hawk but this man needs to be made an example of, I'll be right back"
Dragging him down to the centre of the camp Griff started shouting "ALL BANDITS GET OUT HERE NOW!!!!" Peering out of their tents all the bandits made their way to the centre of the camp. "Right, here is what I want and I do not want any screw ups. I want him hanging from that pole, upside down ok. Strip search him, remove his weapons, all of them. I want them delivered to Hawk's chambers and I want at least 10 of you watching him at all times until Hawk decideds what he wants done ok?" Griff normally wouldn't be so demanding of people but he could feel a change within himself. Like a sense of belonging, a sense of responisbility. Is this what he longed for in his life? To rule the bandits? Be the bandit king? Griff immediately shut that thought out of his mind and made his way back to Hawk's house.
Griff knocked on Hawk's door before entering. "Hawk, allow me to apologise for taking such action. I am sure you saw what I had the bandits do. Firstly I want to let you know, I will be staying here in the camp and not persuing revenge that other man from the steep path." Griff said while trying to analyse the look on Hawk's face. He couldn't work out if he was mad for taking control the way he did or impressed. Griff continued to talk "Secondly, if you didn't hear what i told the bandits to do, I had them strip search him for weapons and bring them to you, and hang him from one of the big poles in the centre of camp"
Looking out the windows Griff could see that the bandits had followed the orders but had also hung him upside down naked. "I have a request Hawk. This man managed to sneak into our camp and get a knife to your throat. We need more men that are willing to die for you, and I am one of those men. I wish to be right by your side, carry out any orders you hand out. I can go days without sleep, I will guard you at night and when I need to sleep, Tucker will alert me of any intruders. What do you say?" Griff proposed Griff had put it all on the line with this one proposal, hoping that Hawk would agree.

Regaining conciousness Glenroy felt the men around him dragging him towards a pole. "Damn that guy with the dog is good. If only he'd consider being a hero" Glenroy thought. Well here we go again. Springing up out of the men's arms glenroy whipped out his sword which the bandits were too stupid to take. Spinning the blade around he decapitated 4 of them. Before he could react Glenroy skewered another bandit. The other 5 were ready. Spinning around them in a dance of death Glenroy cut through them, arms and legs flying everywhere. He walked up to the one surviving bandit who was holding the stump of his arm. "Tell Hawk that if he comes near me or my shop again i'll kill him" Glenroy told the weeping bandit. The bandit nodded and ran off. Glenroy decided it was time for him to leave and sprinted back towards Bowerstone. "I only hope Hawk will listen" thought Glenroy "He could do good very well as strong as he is. I hope he considers my offer".

Hawk looked at Griff Trevin and put his strong hand onto Griffs shoulder and said, 'I thank you for all that you have done for me and the bandits. I here by declare you as a Bandit Assassin. You are now a bandit elite, enjoy your new freedoms. As for Glenroy I will need to speak with him'. At that Hawk disappeared in a cloud of blue swirls.

"Wow" Griff thought to himself "Bandit Assassin, I've made quick progress in this clan. You hear that Tucker, we're Bandit Assassins now, we have a new home and everything"
Griff exited Hawk's home and went to his new home to have a look and practice his restoration magic a little.

[[Can I have a tl;dr?]]
Magpie stopped the armless man, whipped out his wand, and with a quick flash, the mans arm was back. "Come wimme to Hoolk (Hawk). I'll take responsibility as well." Magpie muttered. The two men jogged up to Hawk's home, and Magpie banged on the door.

Arriving at the steep path, Griff looked about. It wasn't quite dark yet but he felt confident enough that he could sneak in and leave the letter on Hawk's door. By this point Hawk would have notified all the guards and labelled him as a traitor. Even though this was not true Griff did not feel like staring down the sword of a cranky bandit. "Tucker I want you to wait out here, if anything goes wrong go notify Glenroy." Griff said, sliding a note under Tucker's collar incase of any problems. Tucker walked away and hid in some bushes well out of sight. Griff turned and proceeded up the path. The camp was heavily guarded, the word must of been out about Griff. He managed to sneak past the guards at the gate and head up to tier 3 where Hawk's house was found. There must of been at least 20 guards out the front. Luckily for Griff the reliability of low rank bandits was insufficient to say the least as they were all either asleep or wrestling on the ground. Griff slipped in and posted the note beside the door which read as follows
"To Hawk King of Bandits, I apologise for what you may of heard from one of your bandits. At this point I feel it would be best for me to leave the bandit clan. i have no quarrel with you and I do not wish you dead, this clan was the closest thing I had to a family and you were like a father to me. But I feel that it is time for me to head out into the world and find out what it truely is that I need. Please do not feel disheartened and do not think that I hate you. One day, if you will have me, I may be back. If you manage to find me, please, I would like to speak with you face to face but I understand if you do not wish this. I will gather my tent on the way out. Yours Sincerely, Griff Trevin"
With that, Griff left the camp, gathering his tent on the way out. With Tucker at his side they disappeared into the forest, in search of what they long for.

The next morning Hawk awoke and made his way outside to feel the morning breeze but instead found a letter from Griff. Reading the letter Hawk sighed as he knew that he had lost a faithful bandit. But he knew deep down why he had left.
The King of Bandits also wanted to speak face to face with Griff so that he could tell him he was welcome back anytime, Just so long as he stayed. But unfortunately this could not happen so instead he attached a piece of parchment to his trustworthy hawk that read: Griff, I am sorry that you have to leave the bandit clan but I fully understand why. Have a good journey in life and send a reply back if you wish. My hawk knows where I am. From Hawk - The Bandit King
The bird shot away into the distance. The Bandit Kings hawk had never failed to find the right person so he would not fail now either.

Milo saw the man, smiled and knew why he was running towards him. "What do you want with Hawk?" the man asked avoiding Milo's peircing stare. "I want to join him." The bandit laughed "You join us, you have already killed one of us." Milo stared deep into the mans eyes "Lets not make it another one, take me to him."

The bandit escorted Milo to the leader Hawk.
'Why have you disturbed me?' asked Hawk as he saw Milo and a fellow bandit enter his camp.

Arthurs heart was as black as the void and decided it would be best if he joined The Bandits. He wandered the steep slope and Finally met a bandit "Greetings bandit, we have not met but I would like to join you. Im guessing your not the leader so if you would perhaps, take me to him."
