Scarlett Verneer - Eternal Mist - Grim

Velen had just finished talking when Scarlett did something unexpected. She laughed in his face.

?Clearly you don?t need any of us to help you, so goodbye, be on your way. But if I was you I would stay clear of the official trails through the mountains. It?s likely every Red Stain, north to south, will be looking for you anyway. Try not to die.? Scarlett remarked dryly.

It was a likely scenario that someone from the Risenforth Court, officially or otherwise, was offering a large reward for their deaths, and right now Scarlett would take the job just out of spite. Especially given the Red Stain's ties with the Nobles. It wouldn?t be difficult. She might even have a little fun along the way and kill the Dean of the North just as they where due to meet with him and frame them for a murder they never committed. She smiled inside and filed away all the information these kids had told her. Right now her priorities where elsewhere.

Walking into the Eternal Mist she walked over to Tobias drawing a knife behind her back.

He knows too much. I should? no, at least wait until I am leaving. Vergil will never realise then.

Slipping her knife away Scarlett turned around and walked outside and down the street.

Time to find the ?Road?. The secret road North.

Tobias Belmont (Innkeeper) - The Eternal Mist

"Ah, Miss Scarlett, good luck to you on your journey. Should you be needing Vergil, I'm afraid he is already gone, I believe he may have mentioned the North Section as his intended destination. Good day to you." He told Scarlett cheerily, sensing a brief level of intrigue.

Velen spoke once more as she came back outside. ?If you think we?re scared of some pussy Red Stains. Then you truly are foolish. I have fought and killed things you can only imagine in your nightmares.?

Telnor- Grim

Telnor pushed pushed past Velen roughly. "You talk big but have fun getting over the borders," Telnor sneered at Velen, "And maybe you might want to think about an attitude check because they way you've been talking no one is really going to want to help you."

Telnor made his way to Scarlet and Vessel. "I'm coming with you two as well," he announced to them. He pointed at Scarlet, "I do not like you very much nor do I really trust you but we both have the same goal. Kill Tear," pointing at Vessel, " I trust you and I would rather travel with at least one person I trusted."

Something in Scarlett snapped. She stopped still in the street and sighed to her herself. ?Okay. Boy. You might not be afraid of the Red Stains but what about your friends? Or your families? How will you feel when a blade slices them open in their sleep? Your heading North. As fugitives. How can you protect them??

Lorel Ion ? Eternal Mist - Grim

Velen laughed. ?You clearly don?t know who you?re working for if you think they would. Your Red Stain leader, Jinshia, yes I know her name. Did you know that she is part of our Deathly Continuation Operation to bring down Upper? So having Red Stain?s kill our families, that is if you can even find them, would be disobeying their orders. So go ahead, hire Red Stains to kill us, and our families, see what happens to you afterwards.?

Scarlett Verneer - Eternal Mist - Grim

Scarlett looked at Telnor. ?Fine. Whatever. But expect to make yourself useful.?

Scarlett clapped her hands and looked at Lorel, Itsuka and Velen. ?Thank you. Really. You?ve been wonderful at providing me with everything I wanted to know.?

They had just been played.

Scarlett turned to the Vessel and replied to her earlier question. ?Yes. We found out that these three are planning to take down the Nobles. We know their names, their destination, their contact, who they are working with and who is trying to kill them. All of which, extremely valuable information. Amazing what people will say when you put them on the defensive or work them up to anger.?

?What, that we spoke about the Operation? I couldn?t care less. I think we shall leave now as you seem to have some emo problem about people seeing you. Probably because you don?t want them to find out that your such a *****.?

Vergil Crawford - The Raven's Claw Tavern - Grim

After ordering a tankard of ale from the bar woman, a person of beauty, which had midnight blue hair that went past her shoulders, Vergil found a table in a quiet corner of The Raven's Claw, and started to look through the Assassin's Journal. The journal contained a variety of information, from weapon schematics, to paragraphs of a somewhat philosophical nature. One page in particular caught Vergil's attention.

"Hmm, interesting, it seems they had created a means in which to deliver poison through the blade. It required the use of a thin hollow needle, that sat within the blade, whilst it would be tempting to try hollowing the blade myself, I risk breaking the blade in the process, to decrease the possibility, I shall construct it on a second gauntlet of similar design to the one I already possess, but lacking the main blade... for now. It seems that they have noted that the alchemy formulae needed to create the most effective types of poison, ranging from a lethal concoction to something more akin to a sleeping draught." He thought to himself, remembering that in order to see the correct calculations, he activated Hidden Sight to see the invisible text.

"What an intelligent group of people, the stuff in here is more advanced than most of the things we possess in our time now that aren't magic based. How did they come up with these ideas? Did they just think them up, did they have something more primitive, and then improve it as time went, or was there another force as work. I guess we will never know." He further mused as he noted down the poison formulae on some parchment he had brought with him. Despite his actions, he wasn't drawing attention to himself.

?I am a *****.? Scarlett smiled mockingly. ?I don?t think anybody here is going to be surprised at that. Then again I suppose it?s better than been a spoiled little, arrogant, asshole like you. Now why don?t you run along and play your little games with your friends elsewhere. Who knows, you might even pull your head out of backside in the process, and wake up in the real world??

Velen wanted to stop it all, but he couldn?t let it go. ?Spoiled little arrogant asshole? WAKE UP. You filthy ***** whore. You seem to believe that everything revolves around you. I have woken up to reality. I have saved districts, I have seen friends die in front of me, I have put my life on the line man times, and I have stared death right in the face. You seem to don?t understand anything. I have seen many like you die because they believe they?re above everyone. Scarlett as you have shown the only way you think you can stop people is by killing them! Ha. That?s extremely immature and clearly shows that you have no idea how to handle things that don?t go your way. Now who?s the spoiled little arrogant asshole now??

Scarlett Verneer - Eternal Mist - Grim

Scarlett took a deep breath calming herself and sighed, she could feel her frustration itching to escape, more so because a small part of her knew that Velen was right. Scarlett had seen more than her fair share of death over the years, she had watched friends bleed out in her arms on the cold ground, seen lovers leave in sunlit mornings never to return and every time it happened it just hurt more and more. Eventually, subconsciously, Scarlett made the choice to shut everybody else out. Over the past few days that decision had come back to haunt her.

The Vessel was right, this little spat was getting everybody nowhere and fast. Backing away she turned around and spoke.

?Let?s go. We should find Vergil. The Innkeeper suggested he was heading to the North Section.?

Vergil Crawford - The Raven's Claw Tavern - Grim

After decrypting the journal's pages on the subject of poison, Vergil had thought is best to leave now, and make his way to the North Section. He then pulled out a map of the Middle Section to see which path would be best to take.

"Whilst Dojeran is the most direct route, taking me straight into the North, Mo has the closet path in proximity to Grim, and is likely to be the route that the others will take, I should probably wait for Scarlett, The Vessel, and Telnor before I set off." Vergil thought as he put the map away, and got out of his seat. As he passed the counter, he tossed a handful of Kiel on to it.

"That pays for the ale." Vergil remarked, but received no reply from the bar woman, who was busy chatting up some local merchant, judging by the man's attire. He then carried on towards the gate into Mo.

Vergil Crawford - Roaming Around - Grim

Vergil was somewhat startled when he heard a familiar voice.

"Oh, Vessel, Scarlett, Telnor, you gave me a slight shock, and its Vergil by the way". He replied with, and gave The Vessel his name.

"I take it by the fact your here, Scarlett and Velen had finished their little spat." He remarked, adding a slight chuckle towards the end.
