  1. “This trap is not only for him,” Wilhelm said. Should the Eye return, he would want a plan. And for any intruders, the trap could be used. He accidentally pressed the bleeding part of his arm against a piece of wood and cursed in South Scadrian. “I don’t think hiding would be good. If we can defend it enough, this place is good.” He looked back at her. “Though, if you want to, do not let me stop you.”
  2. Mr. Itiah sighed, sitting down on his couch. He twiddled his thumbs. When had underlings become so selfless? He shook his head. You didn’t get too connected with underlings. There were too many, too expendable to try and form a connection. “It’s not my choice,” he said finally. Such was the consequence of failure. He paused. “You’ve provided useful intel though, if your correct about the info you gave me it could be the most useful reconnaissance mission this month. So you and your team might definitely be picked for that, but that’s the best I can do.”
  3. Wilhelm continued making the trap, grateful of Lizanne’s help.
  4. The Haunt was giant. He laughed and the low rumble could be heard all around. Notice me, they all notice me now. They can’t ignore me.
  5. “On second thought,” Brillin said as Attayl and Nerin made plans. “I might be able to come too. This piano player sounds like quite the character.” His only hesitation had been association with gang members, but if it was a crowded club, and he didn’t purposely try to make any enemies, he would be fine, he bet. He waved to the man Nerin was gesturing to sit down.
  6. Brillin thought about it but remembered what she had said earlier. Her boss and their inner circle, it sounded like something shady if they were using something like Attayl as a bargaining chip. “I don’t know, how would your boss feel about that?” He asked, and looked out the window. “Besides, it’s late.”
  7. Mr. Itiah listened and began to take notes. When Mike was done he nodded to himself and folded the note sheet in half. He looked at Mike and the rest one more time, his eyes focusing on them. Mike, who tried to appear tougher. “You might not get picked for another assassination,” he said. “Looking at this failure. The Council might even send someone to punish you, though I think they’re distracted by recent events. He put the note sheet in his pocket. “Was there anything else you wanted to tell me?” He said slowly.
  8. I will have a cookie! Edited just now by I think I am here.
  9. “No,” Brillin said, noting how Nerin had become oddly silent. “This is my first time in the big city. Though I might visit here more often after this.”
  10. Lusk sent a confirmation he’d received her message and looked up at the Space Marines. “Priority number two: finding out what this fog is and how we can remove it. We have no guarantee taking it the source will clear the fog. What do we know about it? One, it’s dark, shares similarities with the Deepness. Two, it influences people who touch it to bloodlust. And three, it looks like there’s a giant figure made of it next to the PlasmaCore building.” He pointed to the Haunt, which was currently a skyscraper-height mist-spirit of fog looking over the city.
  11. When Mike introduced his friends Mr. Itiah clicked and pointed a finger at Wes. “I recognise you from somewhere.” Wes shrank and paled further. “Other than that, welcome to you all.” When Mike told him of their failure Mr. Itiah sighed, it looked like the actual goal of the mission had not been achieved. “That’s fine,” he said, pouring himself a glass of water. “I hadn’t been expecting too much of you kids anyway. Did you find any info on him we can use the next time we try to take him out?” He asked.
  12. The soothing resumed and Brillin relaxed as well, but he still listened to Attayl with curiosity. This was definitely something to write about in his book. Though he would make sure to obscure names, everyone had a right to anonymity. But still, as she elaborated, Brillin felt a bit bad, despite how she smiled. Maybe she liked the job. I would pay for you, he almost said, but stopped himself and smiled, that wasn’t really the best compliment. Instead he took her hand and shook it. “Brillin.” At least the confusion with the parlour was sorted,
  13. Rob saw Shana attack and he repeated the motion, charging into one of them and throwing them to the ground. Inhaling some stormlight he thumped the ground with his feet, and a large area of the stone in front of him turned liquid, trapping a long row of enemies.
  14. “I was thinking the same thing,” Brillin said, and his thoughts did a double take to what she’d said just previous. She was just the whore? The sudden jar in the soothing didn’t help and he looked back to Nerin, his tongue rolling around in his cheek. “I didn’t think this was that type of parlour.” Maybe there was a sign he’d missed.
  15. “Oh, thank Harmony,” Brillin said jokingly. “If shirt-stealers are the worst I have to deal with, I might as well settle down.” He turned his head to the other woman who had entered the conversation. “Why?” He asked keenly. Advice from locals was always something that interested Brillin. If they were event trying to scam him, that was. In practice, however, Brillin was not too worried where he would rest. Generally, the blue skin discouraged people from doing anything too cute while he slept. “And ‘gentleman adventurer’ is laying it a slight too thick,” he said, looking back to Nerin. “Not really adventuring if you just follow the map.” He laughed. “But yes, there are some beautiful places, beyond the basin. That’s why I travel.”
  16. Wilhelm rolled to the side but the spear was too fast and it nicked his arm. Yelling in pain he quickly ripped off a part of his clothes and tied a tourniquet around the bleeding area, and looked up to see Hellbent chasing a woman, both of them running far away, to the forests. Wilhelm got up and ran to the top of the cellar to see them, but they were too far for him to do anything, and he had no experience in throwing spears. But he did have experience in making traps. “Hey!” He yelled out to Hellbent, dragging Tish’s body out. Every trap needed a bait, and he held the body high up above. His accent could be clearly heard in the yelling. “Didn’t you want this you big coward! You don’t deserve that’s sword you animal!” He out the body at the foot of the cellar and got to work on the trap, trying to use any wood from the cellar shelves and the spear.
  17. “I rather like what’s already happening,” Brillin said absentmindedly. His eyes were unfocused as he felt Nerin ease away his anxiety, leaving him calmed. Rusts, she’s good. He focused back on the woman, and he leaned back slightly in his seat. “I think I might stay in Elendel a couple more days, at the least.” He let his eyes wander from Nerin to the warm, quaint area they sat in, and back to her. “And then I’ll be on my way to Wyllion, I hear they’re known for their entertainment.” He leaned forward and out an elbow on the table, propping up his chin. “Are you open every day?”
  18. “We can control the dream,” Rob said. “I think that is not an issue.” Turning back to Shana he nodded, and looked to the creature. “Do we wait for it to attack first?” He asked.
  19. Rob accepted her hand and stood up, looking at the woman with the dark eyes from a distance. “I agree,” he said, and cracked his knuckles. Looking ahead, he readied himself. He didn’t know what fighting an Unmadewouls be like, but he had to trust it was possible. “Shana,” he said quietly, standing next to her. His eyes remained focused on the monster. “What you saw in the cellar, with the fire. That’s not what I think of you. Not at all.” He looked back at the Radiants. “Everybody ready?”
  20. Mr. Itiah took the plans from Mike and looked down at them, frowning. Then he clicked his fingers and remembered. “Ah, this is about that Panthers thing, isn’t it?” He looked back at the plans. There hadn’t been too many leaked hideouts, but the fact they could find some meant they could find others. “Good work,” he said, walking away and storing the plans in a file. “We can increase security in those areas.” He stopped as he rembered something again. “Oh yeah, how’d that assassination go? All good?” He turned back to the group. “And, while you’re at it, introduce me to these friends you’ve brought.” —- Wes flinched when Mike grabbed his arm but still followed him, until Mr. Itiah showed up and he forced himself to take deep breaths.
  21. Wes turned white as a sheet. “Wait, we’re reporting to Mr. Itiah? No, no, no, no!” He immediately hid behind Mike and began to tremble lightly as the sound of 15 locks behind undone could be heard from the other side of the door. Finally the old wooden door created open and Mr. Itiah looked back out, with tired eyes. His suit, again, looked like it had just been thrown on. “Oh hi Mark,” Mr. Itiah said, then shook his head. “I mean, Mike. Come in.” He opened the door wider. “I see you’ve brought some friends.”
