“I was delivering these for a friend of mine, and as such, do not know what is on them, unlike your subordinate here who more than likely snooped through them. As such, this box belongs to me for the time being.”

“Iskandar?”
Black Stache is taken aback, and for the first time begins to sweat.
“That man is dead!”

The captain almost instantly regains his composure, searching for an answer to this madness. He then remembers that thief who was running around trying to take the parcel. Maybe…
It all made sense now.
“Very well. Have your scrolls.”
He lowers his crossbow.
“But you’ll never have my men’s heads.”

Richard reaches down and takes the box, still slightly suspicious of the crew.
“There should be nothing wrong with defending myself.”
He turns to leave, but pauses before he does.
“Cedar? A shame it had to turn out this way. You seemed nice.”

“When I-I found the box, I saw a f-figure with a limp leg t-that was bleeding out… From what Rick h-has been telling us, I would assume this… Iskandar fellow was the figure… however, if that were the c-case, why w-was he suddenly able to move w-without difficulty despite h-his recent injury?”

She gets out of the inn after all the chaos has been blown over. With some money in her purse, the situation did not escape her keen eyes.
But yet, what did it matter to her? She wasn’t one to care about others when her village was so precariously close to not having a staple 3 meals.
She had many more jobs to go on, she was practically a well-known mercenary that helps the people around this part daily. Greeting each and everyone on the streets as she hurried through the docks, she worried about her next move.

He messed up. He messed up.
Swearing in his own mind, Andar ran away from the scene. He had leapt instinctively feeling he got a chance, but the woman was faster than he thought. Worse, damn Captain Black Stache chose that moment to get out of his cabin.
He would be confidence against a noble. Against the captain? For what, a box? Not a chance.
Distracted by such thought, Andar didn’t see where he go. He makes a sharp turn toward a wider street… And collides with a woman.

The two collide, and Faris stumbles backwards, managing to regain her balance before she fell down. Good thing she wasn’t older, a fall wouldn’t be too welcome for profit.
“Hey you! Watch where ya going!”
This will spoil my clothing! It took me half a year of saving when I was a wee young adult!
Her little purse of not much brilders jingled, while her mercenary proof dangled on her left wrist.
