A little disclaimer. This is my first time trying something like this, I had fun doing it. I hope you have fun reading it. ANY and all criticism welcome! - Ogdan The Sutican Scandal - Part I A grizzled man walked out of the tavern, the smell of cheap ale lingered. He stumbled through the town and made his way to the meeting place. He arrived, barging through the door and struggled to find a seat near his comrades. Reid, the leader of the group looked at him sternly. “Drunk again? You fool, this is serious Vincent! One more outburst like this and you’re out. No transactions, no nothin’.” Reid turns to face the rest of the men. “One week from now we will be robbing the Sutican bank.” Reid paces around the room examining the group. “This task will not be easy, but the rewards are extraordinary.” “Wha’ koind of rewards are we talkin’ ‘bout boss?” Glum courageously pipes up. Reid shoots daggers at Glum, “You get what I say ya get, understand?” Glum looks up slowly, “Yes baws.” he returns his gaze to the floor. Reid turns around and points to the hand drawn map on the wall behind him. It shows the Sutica bank, the location of the guards, vault, exits, and entrances. A schematic of the whole mark. All thanks to our inside man, Viktor. “As you see here, Fredric, Rod, and myself will enter through the front entrance. We’ll have concealed blades to arm ourselves when we are inside. Glum, you and Vincent come in precisely thirty seconds after us. Your jobs are to shiv the guards without them and the pedestrians noticing. Walk just barely past them then swiftly cut them while they aren’t looking. Then, bar the door with anything you can find. The chairs should do nicely.” Reid looks amongst the group, “Understand?” The group nods in agreement. They all exchange looks before Glum pipes up again. “How do ah all d’at without anyun’ noticin’?” Reid sighs, “I hired you for a reason, Glum. Find a way, or I’ll find a replacement.” he walks over to his desk and grabs a blueprint of sorts. “I am having a smith make these weapons, small but effective.” [!] The schematic showed a small mechanism. A leather strap with a large mechanism on the bottom. It had an arrow pointed towards a lever. The drawing showed some arrows pointing to a spring loaded blade. About four inches in length and one in width. Surely long enough to offer a killing blow. “Oh..” Glum says and returns the blank expression on his face. “Next meeting shall discuss the exit strategy and when we strike. We’ll make our move soon.” he nods to the group and picks up his sack, “Get some rest now, fellas.” - The Next Day - Reid wakes up to the sound and sight of men in the city of Sutica attend to their daily lifestyles. The farmers were tending to their livestock, the children toiling the in the fields. The clanking sounds of hammers emanated from the blacksmith. Sounds of wood being chopped and sawed was heard from the sawmills. The smell of fresh cooked food filled the air near the homes and tavern. A town of true working class people, a shame, really. He made his way past the castle grounds and heard the shouts and commands of the military. The sound of metal meeting hay training dummies and arrows soaring through the air. The guards wore a distinct blue and silver color, signifying their authority. As Reid makes his way through the city. He approaches a food stall and buys a few apples for his day and then makes his way over to the bank. He strolls around, making sure everything is in check. He enters the bank to make a deposit. He takes note that they’ve added another guard near the tellers. Must be because of the break-ins down the street at the Copious Coinpurse. Reid approaches the teller and makes a withdrawal of fifty minas. As the sun reaches midday Reid makes his way to the usual meeting spot. “Hopefully Vincent won’t be so drunk this time around.” he says to himself letting out a sigh as he swings the door open of the run down building. The fire barrell in the center of the room had already been set ablaze. Vincent, Fredric, and Rod were all sitting on the chairs around it. Reid enters the room scanning the group. “Where’s Glum?” he says with a stern look on his face. “Does that piece of **** always show up late?” he sighs, strolling over to take a seat next to the barrell. The door swings open and Glum stammers through, fixing his helmet as he hurries over to the group. “Sorry I’m late boss, some eh- lady had me held up.” “That lady was never going to sleep with ya Glum, I mean, look at yourself!” Rod says as the group bursts out in laughter. Glum grows red and takes a seat. “Alright boys.” Reid says with a grin on his face, “The exit.” He turns around to face the dimly lit board. “Here, on this side shows the sewer system of Sutica.” the group nods, trying to understand the map. “Here.” Reid points, taking a drink of an odd brew before he speaks,“Is where the bank is, and this over here.” he points to another location, “Is where we are, well, the road a block away from here. The entrance to the sewer near the bank is just out the back door, the one they keep barred. If we’re on the inside, though. We can make it out.” he says quickly, as if his mind was moving quicker than his tongue. “So you’re sayin’ we have to trudge through some nasty ass sewer?” Rod huffs. “Yes, you’ll have enough minas to buy fifty sets of clothes when this is over. I’m sure it’s worth it.” Reid chimes in. The group nods in approval. “Alright. Meet me in the alleyway near the Copious Coinpurse at eight o’ clock on Friday. The plan will be set in motion then. Come prepared.” Reid closes up a scroll on his table and walks off. “I dunno ‘bout this.” Glum says looking over to the rest of the group. “You want to be rich, Glum? This is how you do it. Now keep your mouth shut and follow orders. You’re here to follow orders, not have an opinion.” Fredric grunts. “Do you have to be such an idiot all the time Glum?” Rod says as he stands up and walks out of the building. A look of annoyance on his face. Part 2 to follow

Ogdan Frostbeard returned to his workshop after hearing the Grand King’s speech of the Orenian downfall. He opened the door as gadgets and schematics fell from their place on the table. He looked around to see everything misplaced and disorganized, it was a sheer mess. He turned back around and sighed as the project he had been working on fell off the table, ruining days of hard work. “If onleh I had m’self a helper.” he said to himself as he carefully picks the mechanism up from the ground. “D’is place would nae be in such disarray if lads would jus’ give this stuff ah chance!” he becomes ambitous as he scans his cluttered workshop. “I need m’self an apprentice. Or a few maybeh. A ‘hole squadran’ uv’ loike minded lads...” he would say softly. He trots back to his desk and starts writing flyers, sending them to every nation that would accept them. The T.I.E.

Ogdan, upon hearing the speech, would think back to when the armor-clad men returning from battle boasted in victory. It took only a single moon for the dwed to realize that precious life had been taken from us at the cruel gripes of war. They grieved for their brothers, friends, and family. Some grieved for even those that they put down on the battlefield, who were blinded by their duty and oaths. Drowning themselves in ale to rid themselves of scenes on the battlefield. "We mus' put an end t' this bloodshed. I cannae fill these tankards t' drown sorrows aneh longer. I wan' t' be able t' rejoice 'n raise our tankards. Enjoy t' loife we 'ave and hold so dear t' us, put an end to this taintin' uv' our souls an' minds. This bloodshed mus' stop. Fer I cannae grieve over the loss of another un' uv me brothers." he says to some of his fellow Frostbeards before trotting back to his workshop. Inspired by the kings words, Ogdan begins drafting flyers.

((I forget what character I even played back then, but that undead siege... best of times.))

"Da elven fellas know how t' make t'ings roight." He mentions as he analyzes the writing, "Hansae should be reppain' teh Gran' Kindom too" he mutters to himself.

Close, but reply to this thread instead!

Ogdan Frostbeard reades the notice, a large grin forms across his face. "Oi, anuddah t'ing t' take me mind off me research!" He checks his ledger and budgets out a gambling fund.

Ogdan reads the letter and gives a weak smile, "Aye, peace in the norf." He trots back to his workshop pondering why the Grand Kingdom owes anything to Hansae.
