-------------------------------------------------------

Ronan was in his room at the Thieves Guild over looking the main courtyard to Ankara City's shopping district.

"It is a beautiful day, though the breeze from the ocean is keeping it not as hot as it probably is further inland. Don't you think Woq?" Woq is Ronan's servant and top body guard though being a halfling he doesn't seem impressive to be one. "Sir, I think it could be warmer but it is nice." he says. Ronan looks over at him "My friend Talon should be here in another week or so and I will ask him to find a party to go on that search." Woq raises a furry eyebrow "You mean you are going to send him to seek that one item?" "Yes, why? You know he is quite capable and I cannot do it because of my duties here." "I understand that sir but why go outside for help? That is my question." Ronan pauses and looks at his friend thoughtfully "Woq, things are getting heated up. And my job is to remain here. Do you think Koro has gotten the message to meet me here?" Woq now looks confused and worry shows on his face "Sir you haven't told me what is going on? Can you tell me what is going on?" "I will when Koro gets here ok." And with that said Ronan walks to his private chambers...

[Ame]

Koro's red eyes flashed at the building before her. She was uncharacteristically late, and frowned. She received a message to meet Ronan here. Most of Koro's time had been spent in the bars of the east district of Ankara City, being the eyes and ears of the Firenzi. Nightmares plagued her senses, and told her something dark and dangerous was making it's way into the city. Getting ahead of the game, she threw on a trench coat and sunglasses, and took to the streets. Better to be safe, then sorry...

Koro headed towards the building, wondering what Ronan had to talk to her about...

[chrisd69]

Ronan sits at his desk tapping his fingers on it. Looking at the gnomish clock on the wall he shakes his head. "That woman is normally on time why is she late?" Ronan takes some paper and pen and ink and writes something down. "Woq can you come in here for a moment please?" about 2 minutes later Woq comes into the room "Yes sir what do you need?" Woq says with a beaming smile on his face. Ronan seals the letter with wax from a candle and using his signet ring presses the wax to the letter leaving his mark. "Get a runner and have this delivered to Eru over at the security forces building please." Woq takes the letter and looks at his friend with concern, "Woq don't worry, I want to have lunch with him ok." and with that Woq heads out the door to locate a runner from the guild to deliver the message. "Now where is Koro!" he mutters and stands to gaze out of his window.

[Ame]

Koro saw Woq in the hallway, and smiled at his reproachful look. "Sorry." Her gloved hands pushed past him through the heavy doorway and into Ronan's office, where he sat with a questioning look on his face. Koro's face was solemn as she opened her mouth to speak. "Something is coming to Ankara City... and it's not good. Care to tell me what you know, Ronan?"
She took a seat in front of his desk, lifted her knees and crossed her stilettos on his desk, waiting for his answer.

[chrisd69]

"Well as always you make a grand entrance whether its to a ball or a simple meeting" Ronan says with a respectful smile on his face. "It is rare though that you are late, water? wine? cake?" he asks. Ronan turns and pauses as he looks out the window and then turns back to her "Yes there are many things going on." Ronan poors himself a glass of wine as well as a glass for Koro handing it to her "Woq bring Koro a piece of that strawberry cake that you made and bring me a piece as well please." Woq comes running and in bows and immediately heads to the kitchen.

Ronan then looks at Koro "Some people are not happy about how Aoi governs the city, others are not happy that both Eru and I are also controlling powers in the city." he pauses and takes a sip of the glass of honey wine. "However for the most part many appreciate and respect how Aoi has been governing the city, but those few who do not, are not wanting to harm her but Eru and Myself."

Woq comes in disturbed by what he heard and leaves both plates and silverware on the desk and then leaves

[chrisd69]

Ronan takes a quick bite of the strawberry cake that Woq brought in "Woq sit please I told you as well I will explain to you what is going on." Ronan pauses while Woq sits in a chair next to Koro. Ronan sighs and then continues " I was chosen over the nephew of Mr. Mowadi as the new head of the guild 2 years ago, and Mowadi's nephew Karas didn't like it even though I have proven myself for the past 15 years that I was a better leader than he was." Ronan pauses and takes another sip of wine " I was chosen to lead the Thieves Guild because of the fact how long us Firenzi can live, just like why Koro that your and Aoi's parents were chosen to govern this city. And now that they are gone, it was Mr. Mowadi's idea to place us Firenzi in the most prominent positions because of our longevity compared to other humans." another pause but this time for another bite of the strawberry cake "Recently the streets have been filled and circulating rumors about what is going on. Those who oppose us Firenzi will not harm you or Aoi because they figure if they can get rid of both Eru and I that it will force Aoi to step down. Another thing that is now being circulated is that your parents were murdered by this same faction. I have my ears out there in every dark corner trying to get more information as to who is involved in this faction so that I or Eru can question them or take them to Aoi though I would rather leave her out of it and not to let her know about what I just told you." Ronan takes a sip of wine and looks at Koro. "Will you help me find out who is doing this before you head to the mainland in 3 weeks time? I will continue to dig for more information and pass it on to you but Aoi is not to know. She already has a lot to worry about with her position. And I am asking a friend of mine to come to the city as well but I will have him take care of business for me outside of the city. So I ask what is your answer Koro?"

My character Logan is a revamped version of the character I created for the last RP this time he is older and is now a Knight of the Church of the Holy Triad they are not the official security forces but are an autonomous non profit organisation who protect the people outside the main city across the island of Ankara from thieves and bandits seeing as the official security force never stays outside the capital city you can check his profile in the character creation thread

Logan looked up at the window on the top floor of the thieves guild, a face appeared momentarily, forcing him to step back into the shadow of the alley way "So this is the rats nest from which the Thieves guild runs the country" he thought. Logan despised thieves one had tried to take from him the only possession he had left in the world while he lay starving to death shortly after his arrival here 7 years before. Since then he had trained to be a knight and spent every waking hour hunting thieves and bandits who preyed on the villagers in the country side but while the bandits ended up in prison the thieves seemed to returning to terrorize the villages just as fast as he sent them to prison.

There had been rumours that the thieves actually ran the government but all of the thieves he captured were low level grunts who knew nothing apart from the fact that they had to pay a percentage of their profits to a shadowy guild who's existence could not be verified. It was only with the capture of a high level thief named Talon who he had been tracking through the woods and mountains for the last month that it all fell into place.

Talon was an elf with links to a Firenzi business man known as Ronan as there were only four Firenzi known to exist in Ankara and that the current Governess of the capital was one of them, it didn't take a genius to see that there was some weight in the rumours about the thieves guild running the country. So instead of taking Talon to the defence forces whom he suspected could no longer be trusted Logan took him back to the church headquarters to question him personally but as a Knight he was honour bound not to torture or cause any unnecessary harm to him. Unable to get any answers he decided to take a few day leave and let Talon stew in the dungeon hopefully he would decide to talk before he proved another rumour to be true.

Within two days a runner came to fetch Logan with a message that Talon was practically in tears screaming in hysterics for Logan to come back . It seemed that the rumours of the church department known as the Inquisition so dark in their methods that their existence was denied publicly by the Grand High Bishop himself actually existed. What Logan found in the cell would haunt his dreams for years to come a bloodied broken man with sunken eyes who appeared to have been ravaged by years of abuse despite it being two days since they last saw one another. Who ever had done this was a master of his blasphemous art Talon had been unwilling to talk now he couldn't stop talking even if he wanted to.

He told Logan everything from his childhood and family down to his sexual experiences which to say left Logan feeling Jealous would be an understatement. Eventually he managed to get Talon to focus and got the information he needed about the Guild and it's connection to the government and security forces. There was only going to be one way to sort this out once and for all, a raid on their HQ if the leaders of the guild were captured and tried independently by the knights there would be noting the Government or security forces could do to stop them with out revealing that they were backing the thieves who were stealing from the very people they had sworn to protect. Then the Church would be in a position to to bring the corrupt individuals in both organizations to justice

Before that however Logan smuggled Talon out of the HQ and placed him in the best hospital around personally paying for his treatment, as a Knight he stood for justice and the elimination of suffering. What Talon was suffering was not justice it was a crime in itself the inquisition had made him pay for his sins many times over. He instructed the sisters at the hospital that Talon was to receive the best treatment available and to be set free once his wounds had healed, that done he assembled a squad of Black Templar elite knights (a medieval version of a SWAT team) and headed towards the city.

[skullreken]

Logan looked up at the window on the top floor of the thieves guild, a face appeared momentarily, forcing him to step back into the shadow of the alley way "So this is the rats nest from which the Thieves guild runs the country" he thought. He turned to Brouchus the captain of the 5 man Templar squad considering they made up less than 10% of the armed wing of the church he was lucky to even have that many with him. Brouchus was very old for a Templar he had a weathered face and white moustache and hair and unlike his team mates who carried crossbows and swords he was armed with two blades mounted on his gauntlets

"I'll go up and approach the guards at the door once I've taken care of them you come after me with four men have a fifth on stand by with the coach we need to do this as fast as possible without raising the alarm the army garrison in the city alone out numbers our entire forces by 5 to 1" Brouchus nodded in understanding and signalled his men to prepare. Logan peered from the ally again a halfling handed something to one of the guards who headed off down the road before returning inside. Satisfied that it was now or never Logan pulled up his hood and crossed the empty street to the guild

He mounted the steps and briskly walked up to the front door the guard stepped into his path "What business do you have here?" he asked "Justice" Logan replied. The guard looked at him quizzically for a moment until he noticed the white tunic of the Church under his heavy cloak. As his eyes widened at the realization of what was going on Logan's hand, already on the hilt of his sword shot out driving the pommel into the guards balls as he drew it from it's scabbard he then brought the blade down driving it into the guard's skull and then shoved the spasming corpse through the door kicking it free of the blade onto the floor.

He turned to see Brouchus and his team making their way across the street trying not to make too much noise with their armour. They hastily assembled in the door way and decided on their next plan of action Logan looked down the hallway it was a narrow corridor there were two doors on the left, a single door on the right and a staircase at the end of the hallway on the right "I say we do a room by room sweep crossbows at the ready men" Logan instructed loading his own single hander for emphasis.

As they approached the first set of doors a voice came from the room on the right "Barrett is something up your shift isn't over for another hour" a young man with a mop of golden blond hair stepped into the hall and was felled by a trio of crossbow bolts before surprise could register on his face. In the room opposite a commotion started up. There was the sound of stools screeching on a tiled floor and the shing of blades being drawn "This is it" said Brouchus lowering the visor on his helmet, it was adorned by viciously sharp blades Logan was now about to see the fanatical lust for religious battle the Templars were famed for first hand and it left him thinking "no wonder they train so few of these guys"

Swords drawn they charged into the room it was a dining hall of some sort there was a total of 7 thieves in there 4 armed with swords one with a spear one with a mace and one with a pair of long knives Brouchus dived into a trio of swords men head butting the first and shredding his face with his razor visor. The thief screeched "My eyes" and fell to his knees. The second and third came at him simultaneously Brouchus ducked the seconds attack stabbing him in the stomach with his gauntlet blade and parried the the third with his other blade the third thief attempted to attack again but Brouchus swung the second thief still impaled on his blade into the path of the sword strike getting him decapitated The third stared open mouthed in horror at the headless corpse of his comrade before Brouchus took that as an opportunity to drive his free blade into the thief's mouth and out through the back of his neck. He then gabbed the first thief by the hair yanked his head back and slit his throat.

Logan was assaulted by the spear man who almost caught him out by choking the spear's grip to make it look shorter and delivering a full length slip thrust. As the blade flashed towards his face Logan parried it aside with his sword and ran his sword down the shaft chopping off all the spear man's fingers in the process the spear dropped to the floor with a loud clatter as Logan spun round for a full force strike that cut the thief in half at the waist. The other Templars didn't have much trouble either the one facing the mace wielding thief simple ducked under a slow strike from the heavy weapon and lopped his attackers leg off, as he lay sprawled the Templar grabbed the mace off him and crushed his skull with a hefty blow. The one facing the 4th swords man pinned his attackers sword against a table when they tied up then sent him reeling with a back handed blow of his gauntlet before finishing him with a stab trough the heart. The knife wielding thief gave more trouble thanks to his speed managing to pick out a weak point in the armours joint inflicting a minor wound but he foolishly attempted to stop an overhead blow with a cross block which shattered his knives and cleaved him in two.

With the room cleared and left in a bloody mess Logan turned back to the door to find the Boy they shot earlier not quite dead and trying to level a loaded cross bow in his direction. A figure cloaked in brown appeared behind him and spun him around, using a simple hand movement with the fluidity that only a monk could achieve the figure had taken the cross bow from his hands and cast it aside. The Boy drew back his fist to retaliate but the monks hand shot out at blinding speed and with a movement which looked like it had simply fluttered it's fist in front of his face left his nose and lips streaming blood. It was in fact a technique called flurry of blows which allows the user to deliver 3-5 hits in the time it takes to deliver 1 punch. The monk then followed up with a palm strike to the jaw which swung the boys head round with an audible crack sending him to the ground dead for sure this time.

The monk stepped into the room and drew it's hood back revealing a slender face adorned with snow white skin piercing green eyes and framed with glossy black hair and pointed ears. Logan knew that face very well "So you decided to join the hunt Yandel?" he asked "Someone has to make sure you do not get yourself killed!" she said her voice cold and devoid of emotion as ever, just like any other monk for that matter It was a result of their years of training and Yandel apparently had 2 centuries of training. "I'd melt that ice queen if I got the chance you cant go a few hundred years without getting horny, hopefully she'll go into heat before I'm past my prime" he thought Her eyes narrowed almost as if she had read his thoughts "I do not think we should waste any time in getting up stairs it would be a miracle if they did not hear the commotion, we should move before they get a chance to organize" she said At that moment a side door leading to the kitchen flung open a man in an apron burst in with a cross bow before he could choose a target Logan raised his own and shot him through the eye pinning him to the wall. "Shall we go?"he smiled gesturing at Yandel to lead the way.

As they reached the top of the stairs they were forced to duck when the Halfling from earlier emerged from a pantry carrying a cake of some sort on a silver platter waiting a few moments for the sound of him trail off into another room they ascended the stairs and made their way down the hall towards the room at the front of the building where the room that Logan had spotted the man in earlier. Quick sweeps of the other rooms revealed no other thieves now there was nothing to stop them getting beyond the ornate door that surely marked the liar of the Prince of Thieves as some dubbed him or King Rat as Logan decided to call him. Now all that remained to do was to kick the door in and see weather they had made it this far unnoticed or would they be met by an ambush.

Logan nodded at Yandel who delivered a spinning heal kick that knocked the door off it's hinges and with a loud roar they charged into the room. Instead of the ambush he had been expecting they were greeted by surprised faces Yandel grabbed the female by the hair and flung her from chair Logan tackled a male Firenzi he assumed to be Ronan to the ground before he could grab a weapon, the halfling ran through the legs of the 3 Templars but Brouchus seized him by the scruff of the neck and hoisted him up like a puppy "In the names of Tyr Ilmater and Torm I am arresting you for theft, corruption and conspiracy" Logan declared reaching for a set of shackles on his belt one of the other Templars waved from the window and moments later the armoured coach could be heard coming from the alleyway

"What is that commotion?" Ronan mentions aloud he runs out of his private office through his living room and opens the door, Woq following closely eyes wide "They are Knights sir!" "I can see that Woq" Ronan shakes his head "WHAT IN THE NAME OF THE 9 HELLS IS GOING ON HERE!!! CEASE AND DESIST NOW!! ALL OF YOU PUT DOWN YOUR WEAPONS THERE IS TO BE NO MORE BLOOD SPILLED!!" Ronan shouts above the clash of weapons.. his men does as he commands and he stares coldly at the Knights "Now what is it that you want? There are better ways to get my attention and talk to me!" he says with anger and venom dripping.."Woq take the wounded and the dead to see the clerics, its time I have a new talk with somebody!" with a nod Woq leaves and points to his comrades who begin to pick up the wounded and the dead.

"Now enter my office alone you and I and tell me what the hell this was about!"

[skullreken]

"So you're king rat" Logan remarked disdainfully "and what are you a Goblin half breed?" Ronan shot back "hmph" Logan stifled a chuckle a weary smile touching the corner of his mouth "after you" he beaconed to Ronan nobody "leaves this room" Logan said to his party who moved to block the broken door way he followed Ronan into the living room and closed the door Ronan sat on a sofa and gestured towards an armchair in tor corner which Logan declined. "So do you want to make a confession now or would you rather wait until I get you back to our dungeons either way it makes no difference you'll be coming with me one way or the other."
