Ransom For Four Women

[HappyShackles 886]

A dagger flies from nearby shadows, planting into the noticeboard before you. A note is on it, stabbed at the corner and planted into the board.

Hello, friends. I'd like to keep things quick. I have captured four girls. Their names are Keya, Karvia, Anri, and Elysia. I expect ransom money for their return, or I will keep them and sell them into slavery. Ransom for each is dependent on the initial offers I recieve. Those interested in participating in the trade off will mark their names here, and you will be contacted. Mark the amount of minas you would contribute to their release as well.

If the amount of minas that I hope for secretly is not achieved, they will all die or be sold into slavery. So be sure to try and meet my secret desire, or risk their deaths.

Mark your name and contribution to the ransom.

500 Minas - Lord Darius Irongut

500 Minas - Lord Hiebe Irongut

500 Minas - Viceroy Aislin Danok

700 Minas - Almora Braveaxe

Yet another dagger flies from the shadows and plants into the board.

All payment in cash. I'm not taking anything else, so don't ask. Sell the things you have and make an offer of minas. Perhaps the angry dwarf would pay for his daughter before I remove another one of her fingers, and the calm-feigning ranger would like to know his beloved Keya is broken and dying along with Karvia.

They are slowly rotting away at my hand and my it's quite fun to see their tears fall on their bloodstained flesh. Satisfying, really. I might accidentally take it too far if I don't get some real offers. I'm changing the ransom. Here are the

Karvia: 10,000 Minas

Keya: 7,000 Minas

Anri: 5,000 Minas

Elysia: 4,000 Minas

Total: 26,000 Minas

((I will tolerate absolutely zero power or meta gaming with this small event. There will be no use of magic to discover the location of the captives, or otherwise, unless the staff gives express permission that directly overrides my wishes.))

Josef is utterly shocked reading the note. He is relieved when he realizes he doesn't know either name, then concerned for their welfare and saddened for their families. He thinks to himself, I wonder if anything can be done to help them. Perhaps King Godfrey would be willing to spare some minas for their safe recovery... or perhaps more drastic action is needed... Formulating a plan even as he still stands there, he mentally prepares what he will write in the message he intends to send to the king.

*stares at the poster and sighs*

I suppose it's time fer me te kill another bandit. I'm quite tired uv these so called "criminals" who think they can try te kidnap those who are me kin.

*retrieves a worn down piece of coal from his belt and begins to write*

I shall contribute 500 minas to there release.

-Lord Baron Darius Irongut

Dear, better pay up...

[[ Is this why you've been missing my classes? Kidnapping dem gals again? ]]

[Aislin 4354]

Is utterly confused at the mention of ransoming two women, but having four names listed. Either way, he shakes his head and sighs before taking out his quill and penning a response.

500 minas, and expect an army soon, you bastard.

Signed,

Viceroy and High Constable Aislin Danok, Acting King of Alras

Looks at the note then laughs, then begins to write

I have a disc of far greater value then of these worthless minas. I will pay this "ransom" with this disc, and only I will pay it.

Signed,

A note arrives for Clud via another dagger, this time at his feet, with a note.

I don't want anything but minas, unless you can assert a value for this disk indefinitely. Even then, you may not reach my secret desire. I wouldn't risk their deaths if I were you. Pay in minas if you want to be careful with the lives of these poor women.

Clud laughs, then walks away, leaving these minas loving fools to their business.

*Lona reads the note and sighs. "There is so much evil around this world..." She says to herself before continuing her walk.*

[High Prophetess Mezua~ ♥ ツ 144]

((Went from 10k to 500. Son, I am proud.))

[AlphaCentaurus 173]

((As a fairly experienced kidnapper, I must say that this is masterful work. Hats off to you, Happy. Permission to use this as a base for an idea in the future?))

[HappyShackles 886]

((Of course, Alpha. At the rate of Minas offerings now though, Kael would find more profit in just keeping them around to do things for him, let alone sell them xP))

*Shakes his head*

I can't believe I found them and then lost em.

*walks off in search of finding them again*

[Sawses 58]

((In all honesty, this is actually a really nice kidnapping. They managed to evade a great many people who are looking for both Karvia and Keya. Beyond that, it's actually fun roleplay, as opposed to some other ways they could RP it.))
