Thorn watch the small undead platoon as he tried to forget what happened.
"Hmm... High officers.. interesting.. they only government officals would have protecting like that" He thought.. then he noticed the horse carrage. There was tha crest on it, simular to the one the manson in the city had.
"This one must be important." Thorn followed them back to the city.. Oddly enough they got back by night fall.
"Mustn't of gone as far as I thought I did..." Thorn thought.
He got into one of underground passage ways with out being detected. There was a sound from behind him. He turned and saw a blue twickle in the pale light.
(ooc)I think you guys can see were I'm getting with this.. you guys can wirte for Thorn. just don't make him speak much or get injured much.. ok(ooc)

The woman strode, almost swaggered, into the room. "Hello again, Sargent Zhane Silverhawk," the woman said as she pulled off her hood. Her shoulder-length brown hair and piercing green eyes. She parted her cloak to reveal a pair of hatchets and several daggers and knives hanging from her belt. "My name is Aluzica Vakondor," she stated with a small bow. "My recently deceased husband was Rayn Blastin, and I've come to continue to the fight where he left off, as I promised to do if he was ever lost." Before Zero could respond, another person came into view from another entrance, covering his eyes from the glow of the torches and Cwato Stones that covered the makeshift cave.
Zero rose, his hand wrapped around the hilt of his sword. "State your business!" He barked.

"What the hell" Thorn thought. He walked into the room slowly.. "Not undeads?.. hmm.. survivors? Wow.. I'm suprised," Thorn said in a cold and apathetic tone. "So I guess you'll try to revolt angainst them, eh?" He laughed.
"State your business!" one of the yelled again, aiming a sword at Thorn. Thorn quickly throw one of his chains out and wrapped it around the soldier's blade. The sword flew out of the man's hands as Thorn's chain zoomed back into his arm.
"He... he.. he isn't human!" the man yelled.
"Look! I was just trying to find a back enterance into the manson up there. Any of you know how I could get there?" Thorn asked in the same indifferent tone.

(OOC: LOL man you have just insulted a blade of the highest possible quality . . . You don't just split those things in two, ya know >_< . And on top of that, I'm quite definate that his blade was sheathed. The hilt is the guard between the handle and the blade and is what holds the blade, so it would make sense to jerk back your hand and tighten your grip and 'Voila!', unsheathed blade. A warrior of one of the most famous and powerful (or at least most powerful before that battle XD) wouldn't point a sword at someone while holding the hilt, to do so would require extreme stupidity. Just a request that you retype that post I am a dork!.)

(OOC: It's cool, Rolin)
IC:
Zero glared at the newcomer. "That mansion has long since been abandoned," he told him. "A baron suspencted of being an Undead used to live there, but moved to a larger mansion about 150 Doras north from here. As a matter of fact, we're planning to kill him. Not a problem is it, elf kin?" Zero eyed the man's ears, but kept his gaze on the chains that the man had used to disarm him. That is not something holy, Zero thought. Must be a curse or dark blessing of some kind...

Thorn's eye glowed yellow again at the sound of that. He quickly shut them, and hoped no one noticed especially not the female. He could sense an odd aura in the room.
"oh.. I see. I was following him. It seems he was coming to this town," Thorn said.

Zero tried to stop from laughing when he heard what the elf creature had to say, but failed. "He's aware that we're here," he told the being. "He knows we hide somewhere in this town. It's a trap, I know it. The real baron is probably still at his mansion, laughing at his own clever plan. Look, we plan to kill him, and, if you wish, we can take you with us. You do know the basic tactics for stealth infultration, no? After all, you were following him for a while now...If you need information, we'll let him live long enough for you to get answers. If you need something from him, it's yours. If you want to kill him, we'll be happy to assist. The question is, are you with us or are you against us? There is no in between."

"HA! I work with you people. I work alone. You can go to the other manson if you want.. but I know what I saw," Thorn played with his necklace and his face turned serious, "did you happen to see a female elf and a male human?"
There was a long pause. "You know what.. never mind," and he headed on out of the base..

Rolin arose, slowly, never moving his eyes from Aluzica's face. She was currently wrapped up in the situation with Zhane and the newcomer . . .
Rolin's eyes faltered, as he looked towards the newcomer and his eyes sharpened. He continued where Zero left off. "Noone in their right mind would side with those that would oppose them, and I have never seen a skilled man without common sense." With that, the stranger said a few words, and left.
Ehre walked over, confused. "Who was that?" he asked.
Without acknoledging Ehre, Rolin wiped his drying tears with his palm, then began walking through the entrance that he came from. He paused, turned back to the group, and gestured for them to follow. When he arrived in the damp wooden cellar, he stood behind a desk that he had slept behind earlier. Once the other three had stopped, and stood in front of him, he opened up a desk drawer, and took out a rolled up, rather large worn piece of paper. He laid it out upon the table. Rolin took two swords out of a small pile that were in a near corner, and put laid them across opposite edges of the paper.
Rolin pointed to the paper, which was now revealed to be a map, and brought his finger to a point.
"We, are here." Rolin said. He glanced at the legend and compass, and moved his finger north to the pproximate location of the baron's manor, which was a plot of land that he explained was filled with vinyards and several large houses.
Rolin looked up, and met eyes with Zhane. "Zero" he began, "You'll be in charge of the assassination." Rolin turned to Ehre, and continued. "Zero's gonna be in command on this one, Ehre, so shut up and suck it up." Rolin chuckled as Ehre mockingly complained. Then, Rolin turned to Aluzica, paused for a second, as soon as their faces met, but shook his head a bit while blinking and continued with his commands. "It's a pleasure to meet you, but I'll have to cut the pleasantries short. Rayn always said that he didn't worry about you since you were even better than him with a blade, so I'm sure that you're more than ready to come with us." Before she could respond, Rolin started to walk back into the other room while tightening the leather straps on his armor from their former loose, more comfortable positions.
Speaking to Ehre, without making and signal of such, Rolin said "Ready Valorious, Mearas, and Nidhogg." Changing whom he was talking to, again with no notice of such, Rolin said "Zero, familiarize Aluzica with how we're gonna do this operation, I'll go gather our people."
Rolin hurried off into the cave, waking up warriors of the Azure Blade here and there and checking if they would be in shape for the mission.

Zero gave Ehre a weak smile. "Remember," he told former lower-ranking soldier. "Be swift, silent, and strong." That had been his saying for a long time, and he always enjoyed saying it. Without those skills, a stealth mission was garunteed to fail. He turned to leave and motioned for Aluzica to follow him.
The two stood in the room where the swords of those who had fallen lay. Zero grabbed his light pack, which he had already prepared. "Since hooks are noisy, and the undead on the mansion walls will undoubtledly have enhanced hearing somehow, we're using lassos to scale the wall, using ropes made with strong Elf Grass fibers. These can't burn, but can still be cut, so stay alert. After we scale the wall, we'll use our black capes to hide ourselves in the shadows, and sneak past or silently kill any guards. When we make it to the manor part of the area, we'll use our ropes to get down again, and be sure to take them with you, as there's a chance they'll be found. We'll use the acidic combination of a Mandragora and Vintex liquid solution to melt the glass covering a first floor window. The library is on the third floor, and a spiral staircase isn't far from where we enter. We happen to know the baron loves books, so if he's not there then he's not in the manor at all. No way to sneak into the room, but we'll have someone crawl in the airvent to scout out the room and look through the lock before breaking in. We'll shoot him with bow guns and finish him with swords or daggers. By then they should know we're there, so we'll have to fly. We'll break for the gate, sneaking in the process, and use flint and steel to set fire to the shack on the property that contains explosives. Then we'll hang back and let an exit create itself. We can sneak out in the confusion. The dragons will be standing by. Here's the equipement we're using." From the pack he pulled out an elven rope, a bow gun, a pair of daggers, a vial of liquid Mandragora and a vial of Vintex with it, flint and steel, a black cloak made with wool lining and two piece of steel, one with looked like a hand axe but the head looked like that of a halberd. "This is a locking Halberd," he explained. " The two pieces can be fitted together and then locked using a sliding lock. Not garunteed to hold or stand up to real halberds, but effective enough. Try not to take too much equipement. And to round it off, maybe take a small bag of these." Zero held up a small spike known as a Catrop that's useed to trip up horses. Aluzica nodded.
"I should be alright with my current weapons," she said, showing off her belt of throwing weapons. "And this," she added, pulled her husband's sword out from the ground. "Yet another promise I will now fufill." Zero shook his head. He had to admit this woman was brave, and Rayn sure had been lucky to find someone like her.

Thorn found the correct underground passage way and when quickly throw it without much resistance, except for a few zombies. The passage way lead into the basement. Nothing there but some wine and more zombies. "odd how this place is suposed to be abandoned," He thought. Thorn made his way to the stairs and gentlely pressed on the door so it wouldn't make much of a sound. He noticed to undead guards talking. "I hear there was a demon in the city while we were attacking!" said one of them. "Yeah.. I heard that too. I wonder were it came from. I wasn't one of our guys," The other replied.
Thorn opened the door more and throw out his chains, successfully make both the undead just dead. Thorn knew that he couldn't just walk through the house just killing all of them, but other means of travel seemed limited. He decided to make his way through the halls and find the baron's room. There wasn't many gaurds through the house and most of them were pretty weak. "They must have there stronger guys outside. Hehe, guess they didn't think someone would be coming threw the bottum" He thought to himself.
Thorn reached large double doors. He went to open them, but he heard some undead threw the hall and around the corner behind him. He quickly looked up and threw his chains to the ceiling. Thron pulled himself up and tried his best to hold himself straight. Two high ranking undead officers came around to the doors. ".....Azure Blade doesn't know whats coming to them!" one said. "You said it! I can't wait to raid there 'hidden' base after the strongest leave. It should be fun," the other replied.
