Crowley and his companions, about 4 men, entered a pub. It was near a mansion that just recently seemed to have survived an attack.
It was a nice pub, the kind he liked. Lots of pathetic drunkards, ugly whenches, pickpockets and thugs.
He loved the atmosphere. He and his little band of mercenaries distinguished themselves because they all wore the same outfit. A red scarf. They had gotten a message. Some sort of agent contacted them. Someone here in Etruria was busy building a force. They had to meet somewhere... a castle? a palace? Crowley didn't really remember. It had been an important detail, though.
Psh, he didn't care. He was glad they got out of their last fight alive. They had fought a small group of guards. The buggers were better trained than them, so they chickend out of it. They had left 4 of their men left to die there.
His leader had decided to go to Etruria. There was money to be made here. The others wanted to go to Santaruz, they had heard there were huge battles going on there. But the leader had spoken.
So. Here they were. Drinking.
"Shouldn't we be heading to the palace? Or the castle?"
"I think it was the palace we were supposed to meet." one of the mercenaries said.
"Aye. The palace it is then." the leader said.
Crowley nodded. They left after drinking a few more pints and starting some fights. They left the pub in chaos. Windows shattered, bottles and legs broken and women screaming. They laughed and left.
Because that's the way of the mercenary.

Matthias stopped in the street and scratched his scruffy face. He knew he had to get out of the city and start heading south, but he had no idea which way to go. He turned to the mercenaries he'd acquired. "Hey, one o' you know how ta get outta here?" he demanded. "We need ta get to Lycia."

Was this guy serious? It could be a trap. But Crowley like gambles. And a man with guts. Sure losses were unacceptable, though. He took the risk anyway. He came closer. "Lycia? Well, yeah" He grinned and showed his rotten teeth. "We ourselves are from Santaruz." He bowed and added: "For a small fee, we would gladly guide you there AND give you that little extra protection you need..." He smiled and added: "Not that you need it, mmh? Hahaha!" He signalled for the other two to come closer. "We'll arrange transport of course." (OoC: Is this good? There's no way I can guide you through Elibe, actually, because I don't REALLY know were Lycia is I only know the name. Oh, and I will also kill some villagers to get ourselves some horses.)

"Well, I'm the Regent of Ostia, so I'll pay ya when we get back there. Fer now, Santaruz sounds good, lead on!" Matthias waved for the mercenaries to start moving, he would follow.
OoC: Horses, heh, you really should read up on Matthias. Animals hate him. oh, and you can just do what I do and look at the map. Everything but Ilia is south east of Etruria though.

(OoC: You are going to walk!? Meh, fine by me. I'm going to be lazy and ride mah horsie. Yeehaw.)
One of the friends of Crowley came back after half an hour.
"Sorry I'm late, but I had to slit some throats to get things done." He winked. He had brought four horses.
"Here's a horse. It'll get ourselves faster." Crowley turned around to his companions and winked as well.
"I think we've found ourself a good payer for a change. Hahaha! To Ostia?"
(OoC: isn't that bad guy there? Roland?)

OoC: Yeah, but we don't know that....
Matthias started speed walking, following the horse. It would be a long journey, but he was used to those by now.
ooC: post in another thread in Etruria, where we're heading south.

(Yay for bumping old threads)
The two companions had reached the city without speaking a word unless in grave necessity. Well, here I am at the beginning of the tale. I guess the next course of action would too look up old friends such as I have them and see what of the rumors are true. I'll just pass of Tobias as a hired bodyguard.

So we're finally here. I wonder what we do now? I hope Zeiss has a plan. He certainly looked confident, but then, he always looks like that so it probably wasn't a very good indication. He sighed. I guess I'll have to ask him. He turned to look at Zeiss. "So, what now?"

Zeiss was about to answer when The Herald drowned out his words completely. They weren't on the square where he was holding his speech but they most certainly heard him. For several minutes the two listened to the speech. Finally it quieted down. 'So much for gathering intelligence, I suppose we accomplished our mission.' Zeiss said calmly. 'Alright, we got no time to lose. Tobias, I'm gonna need you to go back and tell Crowley and Wylie what we just head; there's no time to browse around, the Herald made his move already. I'll go north, and try reach the King.' Without waiting to see what Tobias' answer is Zeiss rode off.

Tobias sighed. What a pain. I just got here and already I have to go back. I don't even understand what's happening very well. He sighed again. And Zeiss was much better company than the other two; he didn't try to talk to me. Feeling rather depressed he turned his horse back the way he came from and started the journey back.

'You stop right there!' Soldiers blocked Zeiss' path. Zeiss brought his horse to a halt. He had nearly made it out of the city. Didn't matter at all now. 'We heard you and your friend talking, get down from your horse and drop your weapons!' Zeiss slowly slid down his horse, his expression was hidden under his hood. 'Weapons? you must be mistaken me from els-' Zeiss was knocked out from behind.

Zeiss woke up in a cell. It was pretty empty, except for the three burly guys standing in front of him. All three of them were grinning as Zeiss opened his eyes. They wore somekind of black and white uniform, and all different kinds of weapons. Presumably to torture him. Zeiss had been stripped from his weapons and was just wearing a simple woolen shirt and pants. There was nothing in the room he could use to hurt or to kill. Then the heavy cell door opened and a visibly panting Kraft entered.
"Your name?" He inquired, but there was force and authority behind it. This was the voice of a man who was used to getting what he wanted. Defying him meant death and only few were brave enough.
Kraft straightened his back, he had run to get here fast. He wanted to question the guy before the torturers were done with him.
"Get Hiro, I want his opinion on this." He ordered to one of the guards. And then he let his gaze rest on the captive and felt the first silken touch of excitement. He might get the bastards who killed St. Elimine after all...

Man, my head is feels like ****. Where in the name of St. Elimine am I? Oh, he's talking to me. 'You know, courtesy dictates that you should give your own name before asking for mine.' Zeiss replied looking up with a smirk. His gaze didn't linger on the man who had asked his name but he rather looked at the guards. No way, I'm gonna get passed them on my own.

"I was strolling around looking for them hot late night walking babes when your goon bumped into me." Hiro said as he walked in the room. "Now I have to see your ugly mug." He noticed Zeiss "And that thing in it's cage. What gives? I swear if I miss my good time tonight I'll be pissed." Hiro was trying to play it off as if was out there for that reason, not to tip Kraft off about his true reason.
