Heartache notices Lusha glaring at her, and spits the knight out, before stealing a shoe and crawling out of the cage, making a soft growling sound, either out of annoyance or hunger.

Nah

We’re trying to convince him that we’re not criminals

Helloooo

As I said in my SU I need to take a bit of a break from this.

I know I was mostly 'in-charge' of this one from the beginning, but while I'm gone I 100% don't mind you guys continuing to play and further the plot of everything. It seems silly to stop a whole RP that (hopefully) other people are enjoying just because I feel like I can't run it anymore. 

If you want details of where I was going with certain story elements, pm me, because I know we were getting pretty close to some new info. I'm fine with you guys taking over the npcs I've made if you want, so that you can tell your own story.

I hope this is okay, and it's not too frustrating for you guys

Jerehlu - Alvar had a blade to his throat, and is trying to get a ransom or kill him and seize control, depending upon how much the other bandits like him.

Alvar reinforces his ice knife, turning it to a bladed collar with a handle. “The other adventurers? All I’ve done is realize capturing you is better than working for or killing you.”

“Because your system is bad, and you can’t pay everyone. Either I get out with a reward, or I end up in charge and can actually benefit.”

Most of them didn't move. A small handful came over.

"You just don't get it, do you? Say my name."

Don’t was waiting in the shadows and trees, sighting in on the Duke. Or at least someone closely related.

His stomach turned. This was, objectively, betrayal.

He refrained from shooting. Revealing himself now would be catastrophic.
