Hiro's group finally made it to Ostia. HoD and Hiro didn't speak to each other the rest of the trip. Once they got their room the old couple were told to stay at another inn and do their normal thing. HoD, Iron Wall, Brawling Bear, Sedusa, Doppelganger, and Hiro all gathered in the same room. HoD began to speak "Okay, Sedusa you're to find somebody that works in the castle and get him to say some name of important people and where to find them. Report to me once you do that, Doppelganger you keep an eye on him for a couple of days and let me know when you're ready I'll take him out and you replace him. While they're doing that Shadow Walker your job is to sneak in and plant a special order.
"It's going to say they hired a new guard for the castle from the former Etruria royal guard. It will say he'll be here in a couple of days, that when you show up Iron Wall. When you get the there try to get an over night shift. Brawling Bear, find some lose tongues about who doesn't like the current leader, if you can't find them create them. Everybody understand their role?" Everybody nodded, Brawling Bear smiled at his task. 'Some doctor's are about to be rich' he laughed out as he punched his left palm.
HoD turned to Hiro "You tell the other lap dogs to lay low, we've got this covered. Their job is to eliminate any outside interference. Now this is a political assassination Shadow Walker, remember the only thing that is to change about any rooms is the one where you add that paper. Understand?" Hiro nodded "Yea, yea I know. Just put your trust in me, there's been times where I didn't take anything. The other night I grabbed something because I was trying to make it look like a robbery." Hiro got up looking around. "Well if I'm going to be working to night I'm heading to bed, in something that don't feel like a bored with sheets on it like the last place."
Elise laughed "Shadow Walker, we stayed at the cheapest place. The beds were a bored with sheets on it." Hiro laughed "Well that explains a lot. Well you're more then welcome to join me if you want." Hiro winked at Elise. She nodded and said she'll pass.
Hiro walked out and passed a guy that's apart of Gergory's group and slipped him a note with their orders and went back to the inn and went to bed.
OoC:Kraft give me about a week to get things done.

OoC: Okay, I'll give you a week. I also assume that Hiro has his own room. In the middle of the night Hiro was awakened by a familiar face; the weasel-like face with the greasy, blond hair; Gregory. He smiled at Hiro. "Hirooo. Wake up." Hiro woke up but didn't flinch. He was a badass. He wasn't too surprised to see Gregory either. He had given one of them the note anway. "Before you go to bed, let me tell you that a certain someone is happy with what you are doing. In fact, your little band of merry assassins is going to have a new boss." He smiled at Hiro. "Me!" He paused to look at Hiro's face. He then showed a small bag of gold. "When your contract with the old couple ends, you'll be immideately hired by me. I've received gold from the HQ and written permission. Give me your price and we'll pay. The Prophet likes the work you guys are doing. Anway. I've gotta fly, Hiro. Goodnight." With that being said, Gregory silently left the room.

OoC:I'm going to have a post for each member of that group on their own. HiroAfter Gregory left Hiro laughed. He thought they could be bought out like that, they might go for it but he doubted it. Getting involved in this was the last they really would of wanted, now Kraft knows of them and wants to hire them. That stuff could wait, Hiro had to clear his mind to make sure his mission is a success. He had no map of the castle, was unsure of the lay out, how many guards there was, or even which room he needed to place this letter. Getting his sneaking suit on he looked in his 'bag o tricks' to what he had left. One smoke bomb, a couple steel marbles he picked up on the way, the lock pick he had replaced in there, the flint ring and thimble, and that was about all. Now he would rely more on his skill then anything, he had nobody to watch back as he was moving around or anything to rely on to help him. He had securely attached it on the back of his belt, to the right a little and put the letter HoD had forged in it. Hiro was going to have to use their stamp of approval once he found the office to make it look real. Being on the second story Hiro had to look out his window, to see the safest and quietest way to get to the ground and to make sure nobody could watch him leave the room. The ground under his window was clear, has he was about to put his leg out he heard somebody opening his door. But he had made sure it was locked, that means they have a key. He shut the window and pulled down his mask before he saw the light of the candle and the one who was holding it. They shut the door and turned to Hiro. "Damn it Elise, nearly gave me a heart attack. What the hell are you doing here anyways." he whispered just loud enough for her to hear. " I came to wish you luck and to see if you needed anything before you started" Hiro sighed. "Damn it, I needed a clear mind with no distractions. Just get the window behind me." Hiro pulled his mask back up and opened the window and climbed out. He was hanging for a second then let go falling to the ground and landing on his feet. He heard the window shut but payed little attention to it, his eyes were now scanning for human life. He saw none, good. He crept around the corner looking around trying to find the main building of the castle. Clearly it was that decorated one in the center, that or Hiro was a fool. He made his way there dodging anything the breaths. Two guards were at the entrance. Hiro watched them for a bit and they didn't talk much. He saw a nearby building and a window on it. He grabbed a loose board and smashed the window. One of the guards came to check it out when a board came crashing into the back of his head. He fell to the ground with a cry of pain and the other guard came to check on him. Hiro had saw a kid before he broke the window and paid him to run off, so when the second guard got there they saw the kid running and turning down an ally and figured his partner was attacked by them because he was almost caught. Hiro used that time to slip into the front gate. Each door was locked, Hiro tested them as he went by. He didn't dare waste the time picking any locks if he wasn't sure what was in the room. He spent twenty minutes wondering around before he heard foot steps. He couldn't find a place to hide so he picked a lock and entered the room. Looking around he saw soldier armor and weapons. Now he could pose as one of them and more more freely. He found that fit him and tried his best to hide his own outfit. He walked out the door and started to pretend he patrolling. He passed another soldier and spoke to him. 'Hey' both men said. "My brother was going to be coming up here to apply to be a guard, he's always dreamed of saving the leader's life, and I couldn't remember where he would have to go for that." 'Oh yea, go down that hallway take a left then take the third hallway on the right and it's the fifth door to the left. Say you new? I haven't seen you before' Hiro had a nervous laugh "Yea... I guess that's why I don't know my way around. I hate to admit being the new guy." The other man laughed as he lightly punched him in the shoulder. 'Don't worry man, we're a bunch of nice guys and gals. I'm sure you'll fit in just fine.' Hiro smiled as they both started to walk away. Nobody else was near, good. Hiro had hit the man in the back of the head with the halberd he was carrying. 'Ugh' the man spit out as he tried to get up. Hiro had grabbed his head and smashed it into the ground a few times then slowly drug him out of sight. Damn did he weigh a ton? Hiro didn't pay attention to the fact there was a trail of blood leading to where he hid the man. He followed the directions he had been given and placed the letter under a couple others to make it seemed as if it's been there a while after the wax had dried on the stamp of Ostia. By time he started to walk towards the front he was nearly knocked over by another soldier. 'Jack was assaulted, we're looking for a thief or possible assassin. Find them and capture them alive if possible if not kill them.' the man said as he kept going. Hiro knew that Jack hasn't talked yet so he had to hurry. Getting to the gate he saw both guards from before, one was sitting in pain and the other was standing. Walking to the one standing he spoke in a pissed off tone. "What happened to you?" Hiro asked the one on the ground. 'I was jumped checking out a possible break in near by. Kyle helped me up and brought me back here.' Hiro cut him off as he turned to the other guy "Damn it you stupid bustard. Jack was assaulted because somebody got in. Your stupid mistake could of cost us everything. Go speak to the commander now." Kyle was nervous and scared so he was looking at the ground the whole time and hurried off. "So man, you don't look so great I think you should go get some medical attention asap." 'But I'm still on duty, I'll be in a hell of shitload of trouble if I leave my post right now.' "Don't worry, I'll cover for you. Plus don't you think they'd prefer you to standing and not concentrating on the pain?" 'I guess, I'll send somebody to replace me in a couple of minutes.' After he was around the corner Hiro took off the uniform and pulled his mask back up and put his hat back on. He then took off running

Elise:
Elise changed into something that was more reveling then what she had on before. Walking around the castle she saw a man that only a mother would love. "Ugh... The people I sleep with to make money." She followed him to his house then out again. He went to the shop district and began to look for food and such. Elise walked to him and tapped him on the shoulder saying "Excuse me handsome, can I have a moment of your time?" He turned around and peered into her seductive eyes. After that he noticed the low cut top she was wearing and the high skirt as well. Her fantastic body helped on catching his interest a lot.
'Ye..Yea?' He sounded nerves, nobody that good looking came up wanting to talk to him. He figured she'd say something like sorry wrong person. "I saw you a little bit ago and couldn't help myself but to meet you. Your completion, it's so distinct. You also looked like such a humble man, I was wondering if you would like to have dinner and maybe some more with me tonight?" She winked after talking. She basically was calling him ugly as hell without cluing him in on what she really meant.
He was trying to play it off as if she wasn't the first to ask him that. 'Well I guess I could, it's not like I'm busy tonight or anything. Mind if I change first?' She smiled "How about we just skip dinner and go straight to the fun part?" The man almost pulled her home with him. After doing 'the deed' she cuddled up to him. "So what type of work do you do?" He went on and on about what he does, his bosses, how much he hates the place. They just talked about anything and everything, most of the stuff she spoke of was lies of course.
He finally fell asleep and she found her way out of his home without waking him. She then went back to the hotel and spoke with HoD. "His name is Lloyd, he's the man that assigns soldiers to their post." She then told HoD where he lives and looks like, HoD took Doppelganger to watch him for the next few days. She grabbed the copy of the key to Hiro's room and walked there, she tested the door quietly and it was locked then took out the key and opened the door.
Elise walked in then shut the door and turned to Hiro. "Damn it Elise, nearly gave me a heart attack. What the hell are you doing here anyways." he whispered just loud enough for her to hear.
"I came to wish you luck and to see if you needed anything before you started" Hiro sighed. "Damn it, I needed a clear mind with no distractions. Just get the window behind me." Hiro pulled his mask back up and opened the window and climbed out. He was hanging for a second then let go falling to the ground and landing on his feet. After closing the window she whispered to herself "Be careful you fool."
OoC:If anybody hasn't noticed purple is anybody from the group Hiro was apart of, when it takes the point of view of one of them Hiro is in purple.

Brawling Bear(BB):
BB walked into a bar listening to the chatter. He started to ignore what people were talking about, he just wanted to punch somebody's face in. Yup that was the current plan of action for now. He listened for bards now, they knew the most about everything important. He heard one, grabbed him by the shirt.
"Shut the hell up, you talk WAAAAAY too much." Then took a swing catching the man in the eye. After that he noticed a group of men trying to stop the fight. "YOU WANT A PIECE OF THIS? COME GET SOME!" His voice boomed. Clothes lining four of them before getting hit in the back of the head with a chair. Just what he loved, a good brawl. Standing up, blood dripping from his head he saw the one with a broken chair in hand.
"You're going down little man." Grabbing him by the arm he swung him into the group starting to get up. Charging in he smashed the man's left eye with his large hands covered in leather. By this time a few soldiers came rushing in to stop the bar brawl "About time you punks showed up, I was waiting for this." "Guards, that man came charging in attacking me when I spoke of the great deeds the castle has done in the past years, he must be apart of the 'Hargus Incarnate' group." the bard BB hit at first said as he ran towards the guards.
Each of the guards had a lance pointed at BB. The one thing he couldn't beast his way through, sharp objects. "I'm apart of no group. I just love a good fight but these bustards had to ruin it." The guards had taken Brawling Bear in and put him in a cell. He had told them his name was Todd Brawns when questioned for twenty minutes over his name.

Hand of Death
Elise had reported into Hand of Death and Doppelganger. Doppelganger went to spy on the man for a couple of days. HoD had found a map of the castle and started to study it for an hour before heading to bed. When he had awoke he had learned that Brawling Bear is now in jail for starting a bar fight and there was some type of, problem in the castle that night.
HoD approached Hiro "What happened in there Shadow Walker?" Hiro sighed as he looked down then into the eyes of HoD. "Well let's see. I was able to bribe a kid to run down the street as I clubbed one of the guards at the door and the other figured it was the kid so that's when I slipped in. I was testing doors to find an unlocked one and almost got caught so I made my way into a room.
The room had some gear the guards wore so I put some on then ran into another guy found out where I needed to go then tried to knock him out. I failed and he tried getting up so I slammed his head into the ground a few times. I guess I didn't notice the trail of blood he left as I hid him. I got the letter planted like I needed, they were alerted by time I was on my way out. But the one I beat the crap out of was the only one who got a good look at my face."
"If he's the only one who saw you that's good then. We're going to check on Brawling Bear in a couple of days and see what he found and hope your night in there blows over by then."
Doppelganger
Doppelganger spent a few days following Lloyd learning his speech patterns and the way he walks. Using his kit he put on makeup to match his skin tone, a few things to make his nose match his, putty to get the check bone just right, and while he was doing that he wrote down how much of what he used where. Going back to Sedusa he had her lead Lloyd to an ally. While she was doing that Doppelganger and HoD waited in the shadows for him. "This is what I wanted to show you."
'Lloyd' walked out from the shadows. "It's like looking in a mirror eh? Well just for a bit" HoD threw a dagger into the real Lloyds throat then moving towards him with speed with another dagger in his face this time taking him to the ground. Doppelganger took his place in the castle placing the Iron Wall where they needed him for their final stage of the plan. HoD was wearing something a normal person would wear and the two went to the jail where Brawling Bear was held.
"You sir, I heard the stories of the bar fight you started." BB laughed "You did now? Want a piece of me too?" He had noticed HoD in the background of the group and kept laughing. "No, I would like to make an offer to you. The other night we had a break in from what some say a member from the Hargus Incarnate, they messed up one of our soldiers pretty bad and gave another a concussion. A man like you would do wonders if they dared to show up again." This slowed BB's chuckle. He looked towards HoD who gave him a nod.
"If it means I can whoop some ass and get away with it and get me out of this cage then I'll do it. I'm a f**k**g man not a dog!" The two returned to the castle.

HoD walked up to Hiro in his room. "Alright, tonight is the night. I'm going to need to you create a distraction in the castle while I make my way to the marquess and take his life. What's that look on your face, got a plan?" Hiro smirked "Why yes I do, why don't we find this 'Hargus Incarnate' group and use them? They'll make a great distraction so we can make our way to the Iron Wall, Brawling Bear could beat the snot of of them along with the guards there to keep him happy. You take out his partner and me and the Iron Wall create a stage fight while you rush in and do the deed."
Hand of Death smiled. "Yes, that works out just perfect. We'll both search for that group in a little bit. Be prepared in a few minutes."
The two set out in search of this group they heard of. What seemed like ages they found a lead and followed the man to a dark ally, HoD had his hand on a dagger the whole time ready to attack if needed. Half way into the ally HoD turned around extending the dagger and placing one hand near his neck catching another man's hand. Hiro had his dagger in hand scanning in front of them, the one that was leading them had escaped some how. "What's the meaning of this attack." Hiro demanded. HoD and the other man were both struggling to get their weapons free Hiro turned thrusting his arm past Hand of Death's body stabbing the man in the shoulder who backed up from the two. Hiro almost instantly had turned back and was standing back to back to HoD.
"We're not going to be fooled, you two were sent by the castle to kill us all. Why else were you looking for us. But now we've got you trapped like mice, hope you two lived a good life!" Hiro laughed "Way to sound tough hiding like that. You didn't look like a person we could trust." "So I was ready for anything, it's just the way we work. The moment you took us down here it was clear to both of us that you were up to no good. We are on a mission, to find out who you guys are and what your goals are."
"Yea, cuz we're both very shady ourselves and need a new crew to roll with. We've only heard 'bad' stuff about this group and figured we'd fit in. Plus if we were aiming to kill you our clothes would be stained with your blood at this moment." HoD whispered to Hiro "Walker, tone it down a little will ya."
A door opened as a man motioned the two in. "Drop your guard, the boss wants to speak to you two."
OoC:One more post then I'll be done. Two tops, should be there tomorrow night after I get off of Wendy's if it's two post.

The two walked into the door the man had opened. "Our goal? It's the same as Hargus himself, to throw the world into chaos and seize control. At the moment we're local but after we overthrow Ostia we'll become big."
"That's some ambition you've got there. Have you came up with a plan on entering the castle?" "Not yet but we've got the man power to get in." Hiro smiled. "I'm sure you heard about the break in the other day, and I'm guess you guys took credit for my skill. I was able to learn the layout and everything." the man they were speaking with smiled. "We've got the skill to make an assassination but lack the man power. Join us and you'll reach your goal."
He thought about it for a second and agreed. "You've got till tomorrow night to be prepared then we attack." After that they planned out the attack then Hiro and HoD left. "Hey I'll catch up with you later, I've got somebody to see." "If you plan on getting laid, it can wait." "Na, it's more important."
Hiro went to where Gregory was then waved towards him. "Okay, here's your mission. Tomorrow night Hand of Death and myself are going to the kill but we can't do it with just the two of us. We've got our men working as guards, one's going to let us in but pretend to be busy fighting me. But for us to complete the mission we needed man power, we found this group named Hargus Incarnate. They're sending half their men in the assault with us. What your mission is to do is to eliminate the remaining members. The ones that are going to go in with us are going to die anyways."
As Hiro was talking to Gregory HoD was mixing some poisons elixirs give to the group that was going to enter the battle with them.

Gregory just nodded. He signaled at someone behind him, who sped away.
"It will be done."
Before leaving, he grinned at Hiro.
"I hope you have considered working for us? He's rich enough. He may be the richest man on the world." He grinned and shook his head. "Let me know." He then left, barely making any sound.

OoC: Hiro and Hand of Death split up at that point.
BiC: Hand of Death then found Brawling Bear and instructed him on his part of the mission and to let the Iron Wall know what is going to happen. When Hiro awoke his mind was on one thing only, this time it wasn't women. He gathered his supplies and got ready for the invasion. They only gave each other a nod and started towards the rendezvous point for the group they were to assault the palace with. There were 20 men, "All ready? If not leave now, I'm not going to carry anybody into the history books. Now drink up, this will help you fight better." One man chickened out and left then the others drank the bottle HoD gave them.
The group moved swiftly and as they approached the gates HoD made a signal for a couple of men to rush the guards, they were terrified of the sight of them charging in. They were killed in a few moments as the group made their way in, but before one of the men were slayed they blew a whistle alerting the others. They made their way to the courtyard where Brawling Bear and other guards waited, prepared for battle. "You guys handle them, we're going in ahead." Hiro shouted at the group.
Hiro and Hand of Death slowed down to the back of the group so they could start the battle. They took off with great speed towards the hall they needed to go. As they heard the sounds of armor they hid, the men were rushing towards the fight as reinforcements. There he was, the Iron Wall standing tall with one other man near the door they needed to get past. HoD tossed a dagger landing between the man's eyes. "Shadow, handle the remaining guard." "Got it!"
The Iron Wall charged towards Hiro, making a slow thrust which Hiro dove and rolled behind him turning around drawing his dagger. Stabbing towards him the sound of the blade striking the armor was made. "You'll have to try harder then that little assassin." "Don't underestimate me do to my size, the larger they are faster they fall." Hiro jumped back creating some distance between him and IW. Another slow thrust towards Hiro, this time it caught him in the side drawing blood. Hiro's eyes narrowed in on IW, a quite sorry was murmured. Hiro swung his dagger and caught him in the arm where they was little armor. "Calm down, it was an accent." Iron Wall said loud enough just for Hiro to hear. "It's to make it look real hush." he snapped back.
Meanwhile the room the Marquess sleep in slowly filled with smoke. The one guard in there started to panic. He couldn't believe that somebody had made it this far alive, it was becoming harder and harder to see. 'Heh heh heh heh HA HA HA!' rang in his ears, it was the voice of the assassin. 'MARQUESS RUN' the guard shouted. He saw something moving in the smoke but couldn't tell who it was. "HELLLLLLLLLLLP!" the Marquess screamed. The Marquess saw a red mist in the smoke and a body fall to the ground. 'clank' the armor smacking against the stone floor. "Wh-what do you want? Money, you can have it all."
"The only thing I came for was your LIFE!" HoD started to toy with the man's mind, moving swiftly and laughing as he stopped moving. The Marquess spun around trying to look where he was. Before he knew it he felt something near, backing him he ran into the Hand of Death. "Die" the menacingly voice rang. The dagger entered the left eye then was twisted as he pulled out and drove it into his throat. Pulling towards the right blood spilled everywhere and HoD slammed the body on the ground. He took off towards the door.
"Shadow, let's roll." he said as he threw something between Hiro and Iron Wall creating smoke as the two took off. They headed towards the enterance to see the end of the battle.
Brawling Bear swung his mighty fist and it nearly knocked the poor man's head off. He noticed Shadow Walker and the Hand of Death slip down a hallway he went into a berserk mode. Grabbed a guard and one of the Hargus Incarnate by their head's he slammed them together nearly killing both. He started to pummel anybody that was near him. "Dear sweet Elimine, he's gone berserk again" a guard shouted, they all learned to back up from him. After a few moments reinforcements arrived not knowing the state BB was in. By time Hiro and HoD got back they saw a guard finish off the Brawling Bear. 15 Hargus Incarnate and 12 guards was his kill count before he went down, he fought till the very end but there were too many people for him to fight alone.
Hiro and HoD noted that they were down one member and kept going, they didn't have the time to mourn they needed to get out. There was a chaos inside of the castle, the two had made it back to the inn they were staying at, along the way they had changed into 'normal' clothes and Hiro had dressed his wound.

Gregory's men had surrounded the inn. In the distance they heard the chimes; the guards were on full alert. Gregory got his daggers out. He nodded to his men. With a small ram, they busted in the door of the men they had to kill; Hargus Incarnates. He almost felt sorry for them. They rushed in, swarming all over the place. Some of the men had been concentrating on the sounds of the city, hoping they would hear victorious cries of their friends. All they heard now was the sound of daggers slitting their throats. Gregory and his men swarmed the bandits. After the initial suprise, only half of the bandits were standing, trying to save their lives. But through the windows, the backdoor, the roof, other Etrurian Assassin's poured in. Some of the Assassins fell, but after only 10 minutes, only one of the Bandits was still standing.
"Who-who are you?"
Gregory just smiled. Then he thrusted his dagger in the man's stomach, twisting it. He slowly moved the dagger upwards and then man almost fainted in pain. He then pushed him over and finished off with a kick on his neck. He spat.
"The signal." Was all that he stated before moving towards the gates. On the Ostian wall, there was one of Gregory's men, dressed like a Ostian guard. He was chatting away with some young fella who had only recently been recruited. In truth, the false guard was a mage. He saw some of his friends approaching and he knew it was time. With a single thrust, he killed the young guard. He casually pushed him over the Ostian walls and then he prepared the signal. A huge fireball was thrown into the sky. It illuminated the night. The Ostian guards looked in suprise. But in the distance, they could hear the faint noise of marching drums.
And then, it struck them; they were under attack.
