For a Few Gold Coins More! {IC}

[Scarlett De Veil]

Scarlett held her breath as hard as she could. From her hiding spot she could see first Samuel, then Wedge then after him Illuge running by. She couldn't be captured now, not after such a good days mugging! Suddenly they were gone again and she let out her breath with a slight smile.

Four out of five wasn't a bad score, the forth attempt at a mugging had failed when a man had turned the corner to see her holding a knife to a woman's throat! She had to flee then. Shame she thought to herself that she had to use violence and take down the victims of two of the successful muggings."The fools should have listened to me and not resisted!" she said quietly to herself then shrugged. She didn't really care if she had to hurt people or not, she reasoned that it was a necessity of the trade. At least she was a few pouch's of gold better off!

Scarlett shook her head slowly, she knew she should have used her mask in all the muggings, now she would have trouble escaping the city let alone being able to come back any time soon!

[Scarlett De Veil]

Scarlett finally built up the courage to move from her hiding place after about fifteen minuets since seeing the last guard run by. She turned each street corner carefuly, gripping her dagger tightly in her right hand.

Passing the tavern she could hear roars of laughter, people enjoying themselves and having fun. But this was not fun, the fun part was over, this was just dangerous. Finally she reached the south gate and sharply exited the city.

Arriving home she sat beside her fireplace and began counting her money. She had "gained" a fair amount in one days robbing. She moved over to her bed and lay herself down. As she lay there Scarlett couldn't help but giggle, what fun it had been! Then suddenly a sense of wickedness crept into her mind! She wanted to go back, just for one more! That would be foolish though she thought, "I would get caught for sure!". She pondered on this for a moment then jumped to her feet! "Just one more!".

Arriving in Trinsic and getting in through the almost allways unguarded south gate she crept around the city. Taking cover in the shadows as soon as she heard anyone approaching, anyone of them could have been a guard, this she knew. She reached the area outside the jail and stood on the bridge serveying the people, some involved in idle banter, some on there way this way and that. Luckily the guards seemed to be of somewhere patrolling.

Then a woman caught Scarletts eye. She was hurrying along with a young child beside her, walking toward the inn. The place where she had mugged that Tabbitha woman earlier. The perfect place for muggings, nice and quiet. Scarlett moved through the crowd with haste to catch up to the pair. She followed the woman and child into the inn and, producing her trusty dagger, proceeded to order them to hand over their gold.

Once Scarlett had yet another pouch full of shiny gold coins in her hand she bid the pair good day and set of with haste toward the gate. Reaching the gate she stopped in her tracks for a moment, there standing at the gate was a guard. But he seemed busy with a feline looking woman. And so Scarlett crept by the guard and off into the night.

[Khaelieth]

Khaelieth was just emerging from the bank, having after placing his hard earned leather in his chest. Hearing some raised voices outside, he walked out. There stood a woman with a knife and a woman dressed in pure white. The woman with the dress was apparantly trying to relieve the woman in white's purse for some excess weight. Outside the bank in Trinsic in broad daylight someone was trying to rob another! Having to admire the bravado of the would-be thief, Khaelieth defeated the sudden urge to run and save his diamond jewelry. Watching curiously, the woman in white didn't want to hand over the money. After a little display of knife-fighting the woman in white lay on the ground, her purse considerably lighter. Giving a brief exclamation of surprise, he watched the rogue running away, muttering to himself..."If these people want amin goods, they better tighten the security..."
