{I'm here! Guarding The Place and commanding one of the towns swat teams...}

Septim walks down to the Mercanaries Guild and buys the services of a Mercanary by the name of Cassius Xarxes for one hundred gold coins a day.

[[List of people in the Place.

Cassius Erabor, Mercanary of the Mercs Guild - Youngest brother of the current Guildmaster of the Mercanaries Guild, Tyril Erabor. Cassius is ten years younger than Antonis, and has the skill level of an ordinary guard.

Tyril Erabor, Guildmaster of the Mercanaries Guild - Tyril became Guildmaster when his father died. For one hundred years the position of Guildmaster has been with the Erabor family, because usually an Erabor would be 2nd in Command upon the Guildmaster's death. Tyril Erabor seems like an barbaric brute upon first contact, but is actually quite cunning.

Cecil Faltor, High General of Killer's Army - In his prime he was one of the greatest warriors to ever grace Killer's grand army, but is now nearing seventy years of age. His cunning and leadership abilities are as sharp as ever. His weapon of choice is a mithril scimitar called Truestrike.

The Ringleader, Lord of all Thieves - Little is known about the Ringleader, except for the fact that he was once in Killer's army.

Kol Welsus, Captain of the Guard - Kol is the corrupt Captain of the Guard, it is believed that he is on the Ringleader's payroll.

Gaius Gondolin, a Captain of Killer's Army - Gondolin is on to Kol's corruption, but currently has no proof of his actions. Gondolin

To make things easier for you, Killer, I have made a list of the Important people in The Place. I was also wondering if you could do a fame recount.]]

[Who's controlling the NPCs?]

Septim walks into a tavern with poor lighting and sits in the corner booth. A hooded man then walks up and sits across from him.

"What fruit have you gotten Daris?", asks Septim.

"Only a bit of what you need. It is all here in this envelope...", says Daris.

Septim opens up the envelope and reads.

__________________________________________________________

My notes on the Ringleader:

True name: Unknown.

Name used with Killer's army: Garris Zallidar

Gender: Male.

Height: Anywhere from 5' 10" to 6' 2"

Weight: As of five years ago: 180 lbs.

The Ringleader used to be a battlemage with Killer's army. He kept to himself, but one day he robbed armory 10B...we know this was not his first theft and that he was already high up in the Brotherhood of the Thieves at that time. We don't know much more at this time, but I do know that one of his Lieutenants is planning a heist on the scroll shop, it will be in two days. Do with this information what you will...

__________________________________________________________

Septim slides a sack of gold across the table and walks off without another word. After walking back to his castle he approaches Might.

"I have gathered intel on the Brotherhood of Thieves...they are planning to rob the scroll shop and I was wondering if you would accompany me there in two days..."

...and kicks the lieutenant in the gut, afterwards Septim throws the lieutenant down on the floor and smashes him in the back of the head with his hilt. Septim then turns to see that Zarisus had already defeated one thief and was helping Skorg overpower the other, Might and Cassius's fight seemed to be an even match, so Septim ran over to the battle, grabbed the thief around the neck while he was occupied with Might and Cassius, and knocks him out, afterwards the five easily overpower the last thief.

"Five knocked out...good work...each of us can carry one...", says Septim.

A half an hour later the thieves are put into the dungeon and the interogations begin.

"Alright thief, start by telling me your name..."

"I am a novice! Not even worth the effort!", says the thief.

"Then tell me your name...and the names of your comrades, each time you lie a shock will sting your body...so speak the truth!"

"Alright, I am Rolland Fos, that one over there is Xaltor, the next one is Resil, that big one is Vorg, and our leader calls himself Nightshade...", says Fos.

"Thank you...now, where is your base?", asks Septim.

"I don't know, I am contacted by the lieutenants every time we do a heist...", says Fos.

"The lieutenant is waking up...I will try him now, thank you for your cooperation..."

Septim walks over to Nightshade and kicks him hard in the leg.

"Alright...what's your name? And I want none of that Nightshade stuff...", says Septim.

"My name? Where am I?", says Nightshade, afterwards he is shocked.

"Your name...what is it?", asks Septim.

After breathing heavily he looks up at Septim.

"My name, it's Cariu-AHHHHHH!!!", yells Nightshade, "ALRIGHT!!! My name is Falto-ARRGGHHHH!!!", after breathing even more heavily he looks up, "My name is Wells, Elson Wells..."

"Good, now...where is the Ringleader?", asks Septim.

"I am but a novice...I know nothi-IING!!! Dang! That hurts! He spends most of his time in our warehouse...the green one in the slums...that is the truth...", says Wells.

"What is his name?", asks Septim.

"He does not even tell ME that...what will y-you do with us now?", asks Wells.

"I will turn you all over to the guard, where we should get quite the bounty for you...", says Septim.

Septim and the others escort the thieves to the guard. They give them their bounty of 20,000 gold. Septim gives 4,000 to each of his allies and leads them to the warehouse.

"We strike now, before any news can reach them...", says Septim as he draws his sword, "Prepare yourselves..."

Might, Zarisus, Cassius, and Skorg prepare themselves.

"Alright, Zarisus, got any invisibility spells?"

"I do", says Zarisus.

"Alright, use it if we get discovered.", says Septim as he sneaks forward.

After an hour of sneaking around the defenses, they manage to get in, and when they do they are amazed...they see a massive amount of treasure in the center of the warehouse, surrounded by many crates.

"Jackpot...our backup should arrive soon...", says Cassius.

"What backup?", asks Septim.

"I hired fifteen mercanaries to back us up with my share of the bounty...", says Cassius, "They are all good men."

"Alright, lets wai-", Septim is cut off by a horn blowing, suddenly the whole warehouse mobilizes. One runs by Septim shouting "Intruders!"

"They got caught...while they are fighting we will take the Ringleader and whatever guards he has...", says Septim.

Cassius gets up, "I have to help my brothers, it is my duty!"

"Then go swiftly!"

Cassius runs off and Septim leads the professors to the large room at the end of the hallway. They find the door locked, but Skorg breaks it down with his axe. They all run into the room to see a man in black robes before them.

"Ringleader...", says Septim.

"That is I, how did you find me?", replies the Ringleader.

"We have our ways, surrender, if not you will be destroyed!", says Zarisus.

"Wait...is that you Septim?", asks the Ringleader.

"Yes, it is I, the one you abandoned and left to the guards!", yells Septim.

"I did not leave you. I had to save the other thieves and we could not go and retrieve you, one novice for ten thousand coins was quite a good deal.", says the Ringleader.

"And it has now led to your downfall, prepare yourself!", yells Septim.

Septim draws his blade.

"This is between the Ringleader and I...go help the mercs!", says Septim as he launches an attack on the Ringleader.

Zarisus, Skorg, and Might leave and Septim is left alone with the Ringleader.

Septim attacks with force and the Ringleader parries with his rapier.

"Hmmmm, you have gotten better. I have heard that you have gained the rank of Headmaster at the academy", says the Ringleader.

Septim does not respond as he attacks with Firengard, the quicker rapier parries the longsword and slashes at Septim, but Septim draws Icengard and blocks.

"A shortsword and a longsword? Hmmmm...", says the Ringleader.

Septim attacks with the longsword and while the Ringleader parries Septim strikes at him with Icengard, creating a deep gash in the Ringleader's stomach.

{If you have any orders for a lowly sergeant to carry out, I'll be on it.}

Verll walks around in his castle, having finished the classes for today. With nothing else to do he sits down and starts to create elixirs, after some hours creating some health and refresh vials he decide to start to explore new elixirs, mixing things never been mixed before.
After mixing some Moongrass, Unicorn horn, dragon skin and some Tears from a Phoenix the elixir started boiling, and started to suck up all the energy in the room.
With a worried look Verll left the room and darted for the doors. He ran a good distance from the castle before he stopped and looked back. He sent out a spell to find out if the elixir was still sucking in energy, it was but it was just about to release it.
Deciding he was a good distance from the castle Verll stood still, but created a protective shield around himself.
After some seconds the energy was loosed and the whole castle exploded. It was  huge explosion and Verll got knocked down by the shock wave  despite the shield

Verll stood up and looked at where his castle had stood. There was nothing left of the castle, nor the hill it had stood upon.

"Holy crap...That was some explosion...." he said to himself.
"I guess I should go hear with Septim if there somewhere on the school  I can sleep.."

Looking back at the were his castle had stood, he sighs and leaves for the school.

Verll grins at Septim.

"Well I'm good except I have no place to live anymore, so I was wondering if it was a place here I could sleep until I can afford a new house. I was mixing up some elixirs and decided to test out some new ingredients... It went kinda bad.. The castle is no more"

Verll nods.

"I will take the three rooms one, but could we deal it out tomorrow? I am quite tired now and can barely keep myself awake.." With that Verll falls asleep.

Verll wakes up and looks around. Remembering what had happened he stood up from the bed and decided to go look for somewhere to make food cause he was starving.
Walking around in Septims castle some time, he finds the kitchen. He makes himself some food and goes to the living room waiting for Septim to wake up.

"Well, that was interesting...anywho, I now present to you, Professor Verll, this deed to represent your ownership of a three bedroom house in the town of Erabor."

After Verll leaves to his new home Septim calls in the foremen.

"I want you to upgrade this town to the medium town status for 15,000 gold..."

Foremen: "As you command..."

The foremen construct many houses and a few farms and Septim gives them 15,000 coins, afterwards Septim converts his entrance hall into a throne room and sends a request to King Killer for the title of Count.

[[OOC: If you are the Lord of a city and the county you were considered a Count were you not?]]

*Might finds Septim somewhere in his castle.*

*Might thinks.*

"Good idea. I agree ,but lets shake on it."

*Might puts out his hand.*

"Of course. Ill wire it you your account."

"I mean ill get a cart ready!"

*Might walks away and gets ready to make a castle.*

[What do I need for the castle?]

[Septim what does the land look like in your town? Make a quick paint thing to show me please.]

*Septim takes 20,000 of his 30,000 remaining gold and upgrades the city to large town. Septim then hires the best and wisest of his his guards, Antonis Xarxes, to be his guard Captain.

I have 10,000 gold left right now, I will start saving until it reaches 35,000, which will be about 10 real days...]]

Erunion is pacing back and forth in his room in the barracks, chafing as the bit as the saying goes, wondering when his services will be needed by Killer or his ally Septim.

{I should have about 15-20k now. Any work for a sergeant of Killer's guards to do???}

{No thank you...}
