Sasha snuck through the dark streets of Gladius, trying to follow the instructions given to her by secret message. New to Gladius, she was not familiar to the inner-workings, but she did know she had an affinity for death. She has always enjoyed the feeling of blowing out the flame of life, almost like snuffing out a candle with a simple breath. While she was young, Sasha had killed easily over a dozen for various reasons. Now she would seek to earn a fortune for her skills.

There it is. Hidden in the back of one of the largest businesses in Gladius now, she knocked three times, each with a rhythmic sound. The eye-slit opened, revealing very cold, distant eyes. The watchmen opened the door, and swooping from the ceiling a large half-giant grabbed the watchmen, throwing his light body up against the walls. "Do not presume to trust anyone!" he yelled at the guard. He then turned his massive body towards Sasha.

"You too have the mark of death. You are the fourth that has graced the doors of this place. What brings you here?"

Your turn.

Sasha steps forward, vastly overconfident in her abilities.

"I've come here to join this little guild of yours. One as powerful as I well make a worthy addition to your ranks. My interests are quite similar to yours, you see."
King Uther

"Hmmm....interesting. I see an innate quickness in you, as well as a fast hand. You may speak the truth. But as it stands, I am unable to see that strength. Show me."

Virgo drops a bag, filled with gold.

"Payment. Yours only if you kill a completely innocent, random human being. Use your own discretion, but make sure you are silent, undetected, and efficient. I will be watching."

You can set up the encounter if you like, or I can. Really it's all roleplay, so feel free to embellish upon the description of your character. If you do decide to set up the encounter, remember to leave town so you can actually kill someone.

Sasha sneaks out of town, and makes sure no one follows her. She stealthily travels concealed down the side of a nearby road, and wait in ambush for a likely target. After a few hours, she spots a lone human travelling down the road, and muses to herself that it's not good to be out at this time of night. She readies her bow, and quietly moves closer.

The elderly man walks, clutching his walking stick as he leans on it for support. Sasha sees him munching on a dry piece of bread. He looks to be very poor, possibly crazed, as he is muttering to himself. He wears nothing but a singular garb, well-worn and showing holes. Sasha hides by the treeline, awaiting his arrival into range for death.

Sasha whispers "Not even worth wasting my poison on", lines up a shot, and lets fly with one arrow once he comes within 100 feet.

Or, 30 feet, rather. *cough* Not used to playing with sneak attack.
King Uther

07-19-05, 01:51 AM
Sasha looks at her opponent, who is unwary he awaits death. He hobbles slowly, and doing so makes Sasha somewhat impatient. Why couldn't he just die! Sasha waited though, despite her zeal, and lined up the shot perfectly. Once he got within 30 feet, she knew she had him dead. (Attack: 20!+6=26 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=119424) Confirm: 11+6=17 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=119425) Critical) The arrow fired, and almost like a mystical force it swept through the elderly human, decapitating him instantly as the strength Sasha displayed coursed through her veins. (Damage: 22 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=119426) )

Good job. Oh, and we would have done more by now, but sometimes RL can be a hassle.
King Uther

07-19-05, 11:36 AM
"Good job," the half-giant spoke over her shoulder. "Decapitation by arrow? I like the stylistic approach. Here's your payment. If you want more, you know where to go."

Virgo drops the gold on the ground, and walks away. Sasha picks it up, looks at it, then looks up to respond. But Virgo has already disappeared. Now that she has tasted blood money, will she want more?
