Reaching into his bag he pulled a couple metal marbles out, like before. Aiming at the ally he came from he flicked one into there. 'PING, PINg, PIng, Ping, ping' sounds it made as it bounced off of things.
OoC:Going from all caps slowly to no caps means it got quite.

Richter snapped to attention, and hearing the ping noise, Richter walked over to the alley. Peering down it, he could see nothing of importance. "It would be stupid to walk into an alley like that...I could get ambushed easily," he thought to himself.
"Hello?" Richter shouted down the alley, not really expecting an answer.

"Your guess is as good as mind." Janus responded, not entirely sure that he trusted the mage, but at the very least he was more civil then his companion.
"I'd just heard about him myself, and this man, if he does exist, would have seemed to gain quite a lot from the turmoil around here. If you want to find a source of trouble, looking into his noble history might be a good idea."
Janus pulled out a small map of the immediate area and stabbed on it. "I've heard his castle is around here, but the only castle near there does not belong to any noble named Kraft. It could be deception or a false name, one never knows."

Moving her hand to the knife stabbed into the map upon the location of the supposed castle, a dark expression returned to the shaman. Sighing softly her fingers traced over the curves of the knife’s hilt, “Or only a recent acquisition. If this man has truly assumed such role as a prophet to St. Elimine then perhaps through persuasion he has gotten the said castle. Who knows if even the royals are convinced by this enigmatic figure known as Kraft.”
Pulling out the knife she admired the sharp edge before glancing over at Julian a frown on her lips, “Clearly anyone claimed to be enemy of St. Elimine is in trouble… Religious power is a very dangerous thing for anyone to acquire outside the church, even then in the system if one manages to convince the people of a prophet, whatever they say could stir riots…”
“Maybe I’m just being paranoid though…” Softly the shaman sighed handing over the knife back over to Janus, “But unfortunately events here tie in with what we would like to know. I assume your parents are alright… whether or not they are consumed in their own desires to serve St. Elimine, that I cannot tell you.”

"A million bunkum-babblin' barmaids on a magniloquent Micronesian!" "What in alstarboard is going on here?!?" She asked her brain about to explode from knowing nothing of the current situation they were in at the moment. As she looked around people began to stare again, obviously confused by her own talking. Right, Etruria wasn't exactly a port and pirates are rare so far from the sea or something. She sat back down and began to tap agitatedly on the table.
"Arrrgh, so be we like goin' t' bust int' a rich guy`s house or somethin'?" Cefia muttered out in a tone only to be heard near the table. She cared little about Etruria and even less for what goes on here.

Now was his chance. Rushing towards Richter he got the dagger to his throat and his other hand on the hilt of Richter's sword to make sure he couldn't draw it in time. Speaking with his voice being muffled a little by the mask "Who do you work for?"

"It would seem as though a trip to this castle would be beneficial." Even as he said this though, Julian frowned. "The only problem is that if this is true, we would never be able to gain access to the castle. Maybe we can ask around the area discreetly." The mage sighed. "Planning was never my best subject."
Turning to Nissa, Julian said, "A little bit of paranoia is good, it helps keep one alive. As for my parents, they seem to be okay. They never were the zealot type."

OoC: I drew my sword 2 posts ago. Also, is Hiro behind Richter or in front of Richter? I'm assuming he's behind.
Richter felt the dagger against his neck. Even he felt some fear at the prospect of death. He couldn't die here. "No one," he replied to the man's inquiry. It was truth, and it didn't detriment him any to say it.
Having a knife to your throat was never a good situation, and it would probably be smart to get out of it. Judging from the angle the arm holding the dagger was at, Richter judged that the man was smaller than him, and thus lighter than him. Having no better way of improving the situation, Richter pushed off the ground, sending his body back, the weight difference effectively making them both fall backwards. Using this opening, Richter elbowed the man off, using the opening to retreat from his assailant. Having spaced him and the man out, Richter turn to face his opponent.
Recognizing the man's clothes, Richter half-grinned, "Oh, it's you..."

"I suppose, it might be best to seek out his lessers identities. After all, every 'leader' has lessers working under him. So if we can find his, we might find a good way to gather information." He pocketed the knife musing over the situation.
"That is assuming that he is real at all of course. So tell me, what are you called then?" He said to Julian. "You can call me Janus."

The way the situation panned out was definitely better then what she had truly expected as in no weapons were drawn back out again. Smiling at Julian she politely bowed her head, “Nissa.” She stated simply following Janus’s suit and introducing herself to the mage. Giving Janus a curious glance she motioned towards the inn, “Maybe… we ought to continue this discussion away from the public.”

"I recommend goin` t` t` library, ye could find quite a bit thar, an' as far as I know, thar be a place 'ere we could be alone." Cefia suggested speaking up a little. Truthfully she just wanted to go to the library and read some extra books. Overtime she had gathered quite a bit of knowledge through books. Unless they completely changed the order of the old library, then she knew the perfect place to be. Lizz and her had been chatting there since kids and hopefully that room was still open.

"Call me Julian. Using my last name makes me feel old," the mage chuckled with a nod towards Nissa and Janus. "And the one from earlier is Richter. I know he is a little rough, but he'll come around eventually."
Julian then turned towards the door. "Anyways, let's pick him up on the way to the inn across the road. I've heard good things about it." The mage walked to the door of the tavern and exited to find Richter with his sword drawn and a masked man with a dagger eyeing each other. The mage quickly pulled out his tome as he asked, "What is going on here?"

"Yes, I think the inn would be a fantastic idea." Nissa replied growing somewhat tired already, the day had been an unfortunately long one at this point in time. Lifting her tome she glanced across to Janus for a moment, "You think..." She trailed a little bit before shaking her head somewhat, "Nevermind, lets get to the inn."
Still she was sore about the comments of her class affecting her suspicion level, while she knew it was true the constant reminder wasn't something she enjoyed dealing with. "We could use to have some rest before we start any big quests for answers right?" Approaching the door she stepped out to the scene with Julian standing with drawn his tome.
'Whats going on?!" Her hand clutched the luna tome, Hiro going unrecognized by Nissa due to the mask and cap wore to disguise himself.

Hiro had figured the man would try something but not that. As the two hit the ground he felt an elbow in the gut and the man create some space. Almost rolling back he sprung up (*losing balance he tripped forward falling flat on his face and got up) looking at Richter. The door opened (*his eyes instantly went to it and stayed there for a minute then) he kept his eyes on Richter, he was the bigger threat. Hearing a few voices asking what was going on then one of them was Nissa.
He knew it was pointless trying to sleep with her but he could still try, she hadn't put his face with this outfit the only was Richter. He couldn't let anybody put his name to Shadow Walker, if that happened he was good as dead. There was people near by, he wasn't sure if they were armed or not and one of them was Nissa. Damn was she hot but he couldn't let that distract him.
He used up everything he had getting out of the castle so there was no easy means of escape other darting thru the darkness, (*If he tried that then there was that chance of tripping over everything and not being able to see a damn thing in the dark).
OoC: The (*text here) is the stuff I had to add because he is a level one thief, the stuff he was doing/thinking about doing takes skill and he has none. If it's fine that he can do it then ignore them parts.

OoC: I laughed at the *'s. Bear in mind I don't really want this to turn into a feud...
Richter noticed the two magic users at the tavern door. "This man snuck up on me," he told them. "He asked me who I worked for." As he said this, he clutched the his shoulder. When he escaped from the man's grip, the his dagger must have raked him. It left a long cut that traveled from the base of Richter's neck to his shoulder. Richter decided to remain silent about the man's identity. Something told him it would be the wrong thing to do.
