"Sasha Jace sighs and frowns at the rain"

","Gaardal Wyght:"It's time, Driftwood Comapny.  One hour I will wait for you.  No more.  Don't disappoint.""

"Sasha Jace looks around with a somewhat puzzled expression"

"Gaardal Wyght looks to his left, squinting in the rain, trying to recognize anyone from the descriptions he was given"

"Sasha Jace has her hand at her linkpearl "I dunno who you'd talk to though, it was just a voice in the crowd" as she looks around the area"

"Gaardal Wyght","Hm."

"Gaardal Wyght","Were you a letter bearer?"

"Gaardal Wyght looms behind the woman, arms folded, glaring at her"

"Sasha Jace still has her hand to her ear "Huh?""

"asha Jace","a letter bearer?"

"Gaardal Wyght","Did you get a letter from that Rillemont boy?"

"Sasha Jace frowns and then sudden recollection comes to her "Y..yes why who are you? What do you know?""

"Gaardal Wyght","We have business to attend to then.  Follow me."

"Gaardal Wyght leans down to kick a few items out of the way, picking up a pile of letters"

"Sasha Jace frowns as teh rain pelts down"

"Gaardal Wyght","So.  Which one would you be?"

"Sasha Jace","Who's asking"

"Gaardal Wyght","You gaze upon Sasha Jace in deep reflection."

"Gaardal Wyght","Let's just say, another hand of Garston Hext."

"Sasha Jace frowns but divulges no more information that she needs to 'He hurt friends of mine'"

"You shrug at Sasha Jace."

"Gaardal Wyght","None of my business to care.  I am here for this right now."

"Sasha Jace","And what are you here for?"

"Gaardal Wyght lifts one hand, holding seven letters in it "I am here to trade information.  Yours for Hext's.  Quite simple.""

"Gaardal Wyght","One of you know who killed that Rillemont girl.  Ophianne.  And I am here for that name.  In exchange, you get the information you so desperately need."

"Sasha Jace frowns at the envelopes.  'I don't know that information.  Even if I did, I don't think I'd tell you'"

"Gaardal Wyght","I see.  Hm.  Shame that."

"Gaardal Wyght idily flips through the letters, picking one at random.  "Let's see .. this one reads 'Kayle Delwyn'.  You happen to know him?"

"Sasha Jace fidgets nervously but does not answer"

"Gaardal Wyght raises a brow at her body movements "I will take that as a yes.  You see, in here is something that is just for him.  A reassurance that bad things will not happen.""

"Gaardal Wyght","It would be a shame for this letter to burn, wouldn't it?"

"Broken Shield comes to a screeching ahlt seeing sasha, panting loudly "There yah are!""

"Sasha Jace holds her ground, trembling fingerrs 'If you hurt any of them... I will riddle you with holes'"

"You laugh at Sasha Jace."

"Gaardal Wyght","Yes yes, I have heard that numberous times before.""

"Broken Shield eyes turn to the highlander, his large hands coming up, clearly ready to fight if that was what needed to be done "Yah messin' with the wrong woman""

"Gaardal Wyght turns to face the roegadyn, upper lip pulled back in a snarl "Not at all.  I am strictly here for business.""

"Broken Shield drops his hands slowly, resting a hand on sasha's shoulder "An why is my friend here what threatening you with death, then?""

"Gaardal Wyght","Because she has a name I need.  And I have information about one lost man she thinks she will never see again."

"Sasha Jace","He's one of Garston's thugs"

"Broken Shield eyes look between the two of them, remaining silent for now untill he better understands the situation"

"You laugh at Sasha Jace."

"Broken Shield frowns deeply at the man "Jus gimme tha word, ma'am""

"Gaardal Wyght","A blunt way to put it.  I like being called his 'Left Hand" really."

"Sasha Jace may have a simple nervous tremor in her hands but her eyes are focused and show little to no fear."

"Gaardal Wyght sighs "It seems I will need to show I am not fooling around.""

"Broken Shield furrows his brows at the man,softly scooting sasha back behind him "Yah ain't layin' a finger on 'er ""

"Gaardal Wyght looks up at the roe "You are invading my personal space.  But, no matter.  I was not going to strike her.  I was going to do something far worse.""

"You smirk confidently at Broken Shield."

"Broken Shield makes a straight face at you."

"Broken Shield",""I'm abotu to get a lot closer an 'yer personal space' bub""

"Broken Shield pokes you."

"Kayle Delwyn",""Po?  Sasha?  What's going on here?""

"Raku Kirigiya","Are you okay?"

"Gaardal Wyght raises a brow "Ah ... well well.""

"R'kalvun Tia",""You're far out numbered. Sasha, you alright?""

"Sasha Jace","He's one of Garston Hext's dogs"

"Sasha Jace hasn't taken her eyes off the highlander"

"Kayle Delwyn narrows his eyes at Gaardal Wyght."

"Gaardal Wyght looks to the hyur on his right that spoke "Two names I am more than familiar with.""

"Kayle Delwyn",""I see.""

"A'venn Tia","Who's Garston Hext?"

"A'venn Tia mumbles this slightly."

"Gaardal Wyght raises a finger "Now now .. as I said, I am his 
"Left Hand" thank you""

"Raku Kirigiya","Some rich guy or something..."

"A'venn Tia","Oh. He's probably a jerk then."

"Raku Kirigiya","Aye, exactly."

"Kayle Delwyn",""Ah, I see.  Good thing Mr. Hext is ambidextrous, as we've severed his 'Right'.""

"You shrug at Kayle Delwyn."

"Gaardal Wyght","The woman was always too eager.  I told her so."

"Kayle Delwyn",""And so.""

"R'kalvun Tia","R'kalvun Tia returns his spear to his back, but doesn't lower his guard, his senses alert."

"Gaardal Wyght","Then perhaps one of you lot can finish this business."

"Gaardal Wyght looks to them all "I have seven letters here.  You have a name I want, these have information you need.""

"Kayle Delwyn",""What business would that be?""

"Gaardal Wyght","The one I hold is for Kayle Delwyn.  Give the name I want, or it burns."

"You smirk confidently at Kayle Delwyn."

"Gaardal Wyght","The name of the one who killed Ophianne of course."

"Raku Kirigiya","Tch..."

"R'kalvun Tia glances at Kayle. "Do you think we'd give up one of our own?""

"Kayle Delwyn shrugs at you."

"A'venn Tia frowns as he hears this. More killing nonsense."

"Kayle Delwyn",""Then we've nothing to discuss.""

"Gaardal Wyght","A shame."

"Kayle Delwyn",""Hand me the letter and I'll burn it myself.""

"Gaardal Wyght gives a little shrug, a small flame forming in his hand and the letter burns, falling to ash upon the ground"

"Kayle Delwyn",""There is nothing that I need from Garston or his ilk.""

"Solya Frost smiles softly. So he's that kind of man, is he? Good..."

"Gaardal Wyght","And give you the satisfaction of the upper hand in a deal?  No."

"You laugh at Kayle Delwyn."

"Kayle Delwyn",""As I say, there is no 'deal' here.""

"Broken Shield makes a straight face at you."

"You shrug at Kayle Delwyn."

"Gaardal Wyght moves his fingers to pick out another letter 
"Hm ... Zethie Aldis.  Interesting name.""

Raku Kirigiya","Zethie..."

"Kayle Delwyn",""You have nothing I want but your absence.  If you are in fact one of Garston's hounds, I suggest you research what happened to the last cur that came sniffing at The Coast.""

"Gaardal Wyght","I hear he is not from around here ..."

"Gaardal Wyght clicks his tongue "You are more the fool than I thought.  And Garston said you had some brains in your head.""

"Raku Kirigiya","I think I know what Zethie's is about..."

"Kayle Delwyn",""Idle threats and piece of paper are not enough to incite me, dog.""

"Raku Kirigiya","Though I can't be sure..."

"Gaardal Wyght growls, jabbing a finger at Kayle "You will find I don't make idle threats.""

"Kayle Delwyn",""My firneds here, on the other hand, do not take lightly to such matters.  I suggest you take this opportunity to to leave.""

"Gaardal Wyght lights the letter for Zethie in flames, the ashes fall to the ground"

"R'kalvun Tia",""threats or no threats, you're the one who's outnumbered.""

"Broken Shield remains silent, but close enough to grab the man if he were to try somthing stupid"

"A'venn Tia lowly growls to Gaardal to prove a point almost."

"Kayle Delwyn",""Or did you have more paper to burn?  The air does have a chill about it, and we would welcome the warmth.""

"Kayle Delwyn smirks confidently at you."

"Gaardal Wyght idily picks another letter "It seems none have spoken to you about the contents, hm?""

"Raku Kirigiya flinches at the sight of a flame, returning his glare to the man infront of him."

"Gaardal Wyght","Ah ... let's see.  Amaare Margolis.  I hear he has a woman he's in love with.  Ah .. but don't we all."

"A'venn Tia blinks at the mention of Amaare."

"Sasha Jace grinds her teeth and scowls"

"Dovan Dracht leans against the wall, watching the goings-on with mild (but growing) interest."

"Gaardal Wyght","Her name was .. oh what was it .. ah .. Asdrellia?  Yes, that was it."

"Raku Kirigiya clenches both of his fists, looking downwards, scowling."

"Kayle Delwyn expresses his worry with you."

"Gaardal Wyght","Staying at the inn right here.  A shame she might not .. well ... have dinner in a few hours."

"Raku Kirigiya looks at you in shock!"

"Kalen Cook narrows his eyes."

"Kayle Delwyn glances back and nods to Solya."

"A'venn Tia growls towards Gaardal. "Try it, and I'll shove an arrow so far up your arse...""

"Sasha Jace moves to push past Po 'If you harm her in the least... if you hurt anyone, they'll not know you from a weaver's pin cushion'"

"Kayle Delwyn",""Solya, would you keep an eye on this whelp?  Everyone, stand at the ready.""

"Gaardal Wyght eyes the crowd with a smirk "Well well, it seems I have hit a nerve.""

"R'kalvun Tia narrows his eyes, his fists clenched. The names meant next to nothing to him, but they were his comrades."

"Solya Frost warps down from her ledge and uses a quickcast sleep on the man before moving to snatch the letter."

"Kayle Delwyn",""Elli...""

"Dovan Dracht","Say now, who is this hideously attired joker? Some jilted ex-lover of Asdrellia's? Truly, I thought she had better taste..."

"Kayle Delwyn",""Draw your blades, Drifters.  I need to check on Elli.  Pearls on.""

"Kayle Delwyn points at you."

"Kayle Delwyn",""This isn't over.""

"Gaardal Wyght turns his head to smirk at the comment "If you wish, I could stand here naked.  Clothes aren't what make me a threat, boy.""

"Raku Kirigiya clicks his pearl, narrowing his eyes "Aye.""

"R'kalvun Tia stands ready, every sense hyperaware. "Is if a good idea to let him go alone?""

"Gaardal Wyght","No name?  Very well ..."

"Gaardal Wyght once again burns the letter, the ashes being blown away on teh wind"

"Kalen Cook","What name?  What are those?"

"Dovan Dracht","Now, now, my fine, mildly-threatening fashion victim, I'm disappointed with out mail service as well, but that's no reason to take it our on those innocent letters."

"Dovan Dracht","*our"

"Gaardal Wyght staggers a moment, the sudden urge to take a nap overwhelms him, but he struggles through it"

"Solya Frost seizes the opportunity of his lowered guard to grab, first, the letter he holds, before trying to search his pockets. It's been at least ten years since she picked pockets, though..."

"Solya Frost hops away quickly, having seized at least one. The letter for Desmond."

"Gaardal Wyght growls, stumbling back, though not before Solya picks one letter from his hand "Casting bitch!  That was uncalled for!""

"Solya Frost lifts a hand to her ear, speaking. "Desmond, I have a letter for you. I'm at the Milvaneth Sacrarium with... friends.""

"Solya Frost sticks her tounge out at the man. "I think I made you /my/ bitch. Whatcha gonna do about it?""

"Garston Hext laughs at Solya Frost."

"Gaardal Wyght struggles to shake the rest of the spell off"

"Raku Kirigiya glares at the man, scrunching his face up in anger."

"R'kalvun Tia raises his spear to the man's throat. "Uncalled for? You're the one who's threatening us.""

"A'venn Tia blinks at the laughing and turns around."

"Garston Hext crosses his arms and glares at the group of Drifters."

"Raku Kirigiya","Po, stay close to him."

"Broken Shield nods to R'kalvun Tia."

"Sasha Jace has her bow drawn and an arrow trained on the new arrival"

"Raku Kirigiya","Just like Asdrellia described..."

"Gaardal Wyght looks down at the spear, but does not move.  Instead his eyes turn to the highlander that appeared "Ah, sir.  I was just doing as you asked.""

"Garston Hext beams with delight at you."

"Solya Frost","This man is our antagonist, then?"

"Garston Hext",""Are they delicious, Gaardal?""

"A'venn Tia","...So this guy is the jerk?"

"Garston Hext",""Just look at them.""

"Gaardal Wyght","More a nusiance.  Though I have found a chink in their armor.  The one called Asdrellia."

"Raku Kirigiya","Aye... one of them at least."

"Garston Hext makes a straight face at you."

"R'kalvun Tia",""If anything happens to any of them, I swear by my spear, you'll pay.""

"Gaardal Wyght","I have two letters left though.  Viola .. and Ivory Shield.  Huh .. interesting name."

"Garston Hext",""Yes, my little 'investment'.""

"You nod to Garston Hext."

"Broken Shield flinches a little at the name 'ivory shield'"

"Garston Hext points at Broken Shield."

"Broken Shield takes  small step back"

"Garston Hext",""This one, they call him 'Po'.""

"You gaze upon Broken Shield in deep reflection."

"Broken Shield narrows his eyes at the man"

"Solya Frost 's ears turned slightly, though she keeps a sharp eye on Gaardal."

"Gaardal Wyght","Well well well."

"Garston Hext laughs at Broken Shield."

"Solya Frost removes her gloves."

"Dovan Dracht","Come now, these two fools see us Drifters as easy targets if we so plainly wear our hearts on our sleeves..."

"Garston Hext",""Never you mind that brute's size.  Soft as ochre pudding, he is.""

"Broken Shield growls deeply in his throat at the man"

"Gaardal Wyght holds the letter for the roegadyn in his hand "This one is for you, isn't it.  You know what is in here ... don't you?""

"Garston Hext glares at Dovan Dracht."

"Broken Shield stares at the man, nodding slowly "aye..""

"Sasha Jace moves slowly for a better line of sight on Garston, arrow nocked and drawn, aimed square for the man's chest."

"Gaardal Wyght","Then all I ask is a name.  And all this information I have here ... never comes to light."

"Garston Hext",""This one I don't know.  Help him understand who I am, 'Drifters', lest I give him a first hand account.""

"Broken Shield looks over to the group, then back to the man "jsut a name?""

"Gaardal Wyght","The name of the one who killed Ophianne, yes."

"Sasha Jace","Po"

"Garston Hext steps towards the one they call Po."

"Sasha Jace","I have a clear shot on him, I can end this all now"

"Garston Hext tries to comfort Broken Shield."

"R'kalvun Tia",""Po, we do not give up friends.""

"Broken Shield crosses his arms over his chest, his eyes staying on the group for a long while "...then you'll...not let anyone know?""

"Garston Hext",""It's alright, Po.  You can tell me.""

"Gaardal Wyght","No one will know.  Ever."

"Garston Hext",""You have my word.""

"Garston Hext smiles at Broken Shield."

"A'venn Tia","Hey! Garston, right?"

"Solya Frost",""We have them outnumbered and out classed. Don't do it, Po.""

"Dovan Dracht","Oh, for heavens' sakes, all this for some common *blackmailers*?"

"Broken Shield narrows his eyes "I can't let anyone know..""

"Garston Hext",""Ah, the errand boy arrives.""

"Garston Hext welcomes Desmond Aryll."

"You nod to Broken Shield."

"Gaardal Wyght","Some secrets are left burined in the past friend."

"Gaardal Wyght","buried*)"

"Dovan Dracht","I don't know those others, but Asdrellia's more than capable of defending herself from two-gil goons like these."

"Broken Shield growls in his throat "REckon you go back on yer word... Yah wish yah'd be dead fore I find yah..""

"Garston Hext",""And where is your boy-who-would-be king?""

"Sasha Jace","Desmond... I can end him here and now and we can be done with this"

"Gaardal Wyght holds his hands up before him "I never go back on a deal, or my word""

"Desmond Aryll smiles at Garston Hext."

"R'kalvun Tia steps forward, twirling his spear. "Some things are best left in the past, and some people are better off dead.""

"Broken Shield grabs kal's spear, pulling it away from the two men"

"Sasha Jace glares at Garston with cold eyes."

"Desmond Aryll","It's been a while, Garston."

"Sasha Jace","Po!"

"Broken Shield stands to block sasha's shot"

"Garston Hext",""I don't doubt your aim, sweet Sasha.  But then the Blades' would have you for murder in the streets.""

"Desmond Aryll","That won't be necessary, Sasha."

"Garston Hext laughs at Sasha Jace."

"A'venn Tia","Hey! Garston! 'Nother word and I'll take off your kneecap!"

"Solya Frost reaches slowly for the man's pockets..."

"Garston Hext",""You've tamed your lot quite nicely, Desmond.""

"Desmond Aryll bows courteously to Garston Hext."

"R'kalvun Tia growl at Po grabs his spear. "Po! Kill him and you're past stays past.""

"Garston Hext",""They all respond like the circus animals they are.""

"Raku Kirigiya","What if somebody who has nothing to lose kills them..."

"Desmond Aryll","Thank you for noticing."

"Gaardal Wyght does not notice the woman behind him, focused on the roegadyn"

"Desmond Aryll","You are as charming as always."

"Garston Hext bows courteously to Desmond Aryll."

"Broken Shield stares at garston for a long while"

"Garston Hext",""It is, as always, my aim to please.  I am a business man, after all.""

"Solya Frost picks the pocket she'd seen him pulling the letters from, hoping to grab the last and get away."

"Desmond Aryll","And your associate?"

"Desmond Aryll","The Elezen's replacement?"

"Raku Kirigiya","I'm going to find Kayle and Asdrellia... Tell me through linkpearl if something happens..."

"Solya Frost","..."

"Desmond Aryll","Does he know what happened to the last?"

"Garston Hext",""May I present you Gaardal, my Left Hand.""

"Desmond Aryll bows courteously to you."

"You bow courteously to Desmond Aryll."

"Desmond Aryll","Of course. Have the burns healed on you Right yet?"

"Desmond Aryll smiles at you."

"Dovan Dracht","Well. I think it's safe to say we all know what the right hand has been busily doing..."

"Garston Hext shrugs at Desmond Aryll."

"Solya Frost laughs at Dovan Dracht."

"Gaardal Wyght","Well well ... this the one who gave you trouble, sir?  Sniffing around your house life a feral dog?"

"Garston Hext",""A wound that heals, Desmond.  Nothing more.""

"Desmond Aryll","Or not at all."

"Desmond Aryll shrugs at Garston Hext."

"Raku Kirigiya:This armour is too warm!"

"Broken Shield takes a step foreward, hands clenched"

"Garston Hext smiles at Broken Shield."

"Broken Shield","em sighs "Arry" He says flatly "Arry dresdyn" He looks to the group "I'm sorry, y'all... I reckon I got too many skeletons what need to be kept buried""

"Gaardal Wyght taps the letter in his palm "I don't think he's going to tell me ...""

"Garston Hext bows courteously to Broken Shield."

"Gaardal Wyght grins"

"You bow courteously to Broken Shield."

"Desmond Aryll","Why are you here?"

"Gaardal Wyght","Thank you friend."

"Broken Shield looks away from the group, ashamed"

"Desmond Aryll crosses his arms."

"Gaardal Wyght hands over the letter"

"Garston Hext",""You Company is in your debt, Po.  Or should I call you by your real name, 'Broken Shield'.  I see that it's one you live up to.""

"Sasha Jace scows and aims at them 'we can't let them leave Desmond'"

"Broken Shield takes the letter slwoly "Yah tell anyone.." he growls"

"Garston Hext laughs at Broken Shield."

"Dovan Dracht bursts out laughing at Broken Shield."

"Solya Frost","They've no more letters, then."

"Broken Shield brings a large hand up to grab the amn by his throat as he alughs"

"Garston Hext",""Your secret's are safe with me, Po.""

"Gaardal Wyght","Everything is in there."

"Gaardal Wyght","Now .. for the rest ..."

"Dovan Dracht","Oh, dear me...you don't actually believe these men are in any way trustworthy?"

"Garston Hext consoles Broken Shield."

"Gaardal Wyght pats his pockets and growls "The hell?""

"Broken Shield releases him roughly and walks off"

"Garston Hext",""There there, big guy.  I'm sure they'll find time to forgive you.""

"Garston Hext beams with delight at Desmond Aryll."

"Solya Frost","Desmond, I have yours."

"Gaardal Wyght looks around on the ground "It seems two have disappeared on me.  The one for Desmond Aryll and that .. Viola person""

"Sasha Jace","Sasha Jace has yet to lower her aim."

"Desmond Aryll","Thank you, Solya."

"Garston Hext","Garston Hext shrugs at you."

"Garston Hext",""It is of no consequence.  We got what we came for.""

"Gaardal Wyght","Our business is done then here, yes?"

"You nod to Garston Hext."

"Garston Hext nods to you."

"R'kalvun Tia growls, keeping his eyes on the men."

"Gaardal Wyght","Then please, I shall walk you back to your home, sir."

"R'kalvun Tia",""Who says we're going to let you go anywhere?""

"Garston Hext",""Say hello to your boy, if you see him, Desmond.""

"You disagree with R'kalvun Tia."

"Desmond Aryll","Till next time, Garston. Perhaps we'll play a game of our choosing."

"Garston Hext",""If.""

"Desmond Aryll","Desmond Aryll nods to Garston Hext."

"Kalen Cook","Are we just going to let them go?"

"Gaardal Wyght","Put that away boy.  You'll hurt someone."

"Garston Hext",""I know a few who would pay handsomly for such a pretty boy.  So innocent....""

"R'kalvun Tia smiles "Thats the idea.""

"Desmond Aryll","It is fine. We are in a civilized place."

"Garston Hext glances at R'kalvun Tia"

"Gaardal Wyght sighs "Apparently no one teaches these Drifters any manners.""

"Solya Frost",""We're in the middle of Ul'dah, and they haven't attacked us. Unless we wish to have the guard on our heels...""

"Dovan Dracht bursts out laughing at Garston Hext."

"Gaardal Wyght","Wise words."

"Garston Hext",""Are we, Desmond?  We ask for names and your lot draws their strength from weapons and threats.""

"Desmond Aryll shrugs at Garston Hext."

"Raku Kirigiya","I can't find either of them..."

"Desmond Aryll","They are passionate."

"Gaardal Wyght","And all I did was want to talk."

"Garston Hext",""As am I.""

"Garston Hext beams with delight at Desmond Aryll."

"Solya Frost","To talk of your own threats, if you remember."

"Solya Frost","Though you word them very carefully."

"Gaardal Wyght raises a brow at Raku ..."

"Garston Hext",""And so is my property.  Elli, I think you've come to call her now.""

"R'kalvun Tia thinks long and hard, before lowering his spear. "Fine.""

"You burst out laughing at Raku Kirigiya."

"Garston Hext",""Very passionate, that one.""

"Raku Kirigiya","Sheesh.. my armour was warm..."

"Garston Hext grins wickedly at Desmond."

"You point at Raku Kirigiya."

"Desmond Aryll","Passion breeds excellence. You might do with some of your own."

"Gaardal Wyght","The hell you running in your shorts, boy!"

"Solya Frost","Are you deaf?"

"Solya Frost","His armor is too warm."

"Solya Frost","Or perhaps you're just stupid."

"Desmond Aryll","But it is impolite to talk of other's shortcomings."

"Desmond Aryll smiles at Garston Hext."

"R'kalvun Tia",""Arrogant.""

"Raku Kirigiya","All of the above..."

"A'venn Tia","I'd agree that they're just stupid."

"You shrug at Solya Frost."

"Garston Hext makes a straight face at Desmond Aryll."

"Dovan Dracht","Oho! I like this one's style. Presuming he's not done something truly stupid, perhaps we could make use of him? Surely we could make use of a blackmailer at some juncture?"

"Gaardal Wyght","I missed that over all your bleating."

"Garston Hext",""It's a good thing that Kayle's got a kitten looking after him, Desmond.  You've been gone for so long, it'd be a shame if something happened to him.""

"Garston Hext points at Solya Frost."

"Desmond Aryll gazes upon Garston Hext in deep reflection."

"Gaardal Wyght cocks his head, touching a finger tot he pearl in his ear"

"Garston Hext",""I'm sure this lot thanks you regularly for looking after their pathetic boy-king, Lady Frost.""

"Garston Hext",""You two have formed quite the bond, it would seem.""

"Solya Frost","So it would seem. I'm glad to know him. He's a kind man, and I respect him for it."

"Solya Frost","A better king than you would ever be."

"Kalen Cook touches the linkpearl in his ear and mutters something."

"Garston Hext",""As do I, Lady Frost.  Say, where is your little companion?""

"Garston Hext bows courteously to Solya Frost."

"Gaardal Wyght seems to tune out the people around him as he talks in code to those on his own pearl"

"Garston Hext",""Gaardal, I tire of this.  Come.""

"Solya Frost","I have a number of companions. You'll have to be more specific."

"Raku Kirigiya","What's the matter... You've never seen someone shirtless... because I'm getting tired of you staring..."

"Garston Hext bows courteously to Desmond Aryll."

"Gaardal Wyght","Of course, sir."

"Garston Hext",""Always a pleasure, Desmond.""

"Desmond Aryll bows courteously to Garston Hext."

"Dovan Dracht","So, what *is* the bottom line, here, fellows? And isn't melodrama such as this better suited to the Mhi Khetto?"

"Sasha Jace lets her arrow fly, as Garston moves missing her target by less than an ilm 'Oops, looks like my fingers slipped.'"

"Desmond Aryll","Till next time, Garston."

"Garston Hext",""Move.""

"Gaardal Wyght stops and glares at Sasha, growling"

"Dovan Dracht bows courteously to Garston Hext."

"Sasha Jace returns the glare, her eyes showing no fear."

"Gaardal Wyght:A pleasure doing business with you, "Drifters".  We will .. keep in touch!  *laughs*"
((This takes place relatively ICly about 2 hours afterwards))

"Gaardal Wyght relaxes with a mug of ale, talking in what appears to be code to someone over his linkpearl"

"Gaardal Wyght throws his feet up ont he table, leaning back with a well deserved belch and a smirk"

"Gaardal Wyght idily flips a piece of gil, as if waiting for someone"

"Gaardal Wyght slams his empty mug on the table, calling for another, belching once again"

"Gaardal Wyght takes his new mug of ale, drinking it down as he pulls out a small book, flipping through the pages as it balances on his knee"

((Gaardal hears a commotion outside the Sands and goes to investigate))

"Desmond Aryll","Were you alone at the time? Did anyone else see what happened?"

"Kayle Delwyn",""I entered Elli's room, she was there.""

"Desmond Aryll","Go on..."

"Kayle Delwyn",""I was panic'd and out of breath.. she smiled and then screamed.""

"Desmond Aryll nods to Kayle Delwyn."

"A'venn Tia seems lost in thought."

"Kayle Delwyn",""The men came in behind me and shut the door.  I think they were waiting...""

"Kayle Delwyn",""They /wanted/ someone to see, Desmond...""

"Sasha Jace","Is there any doubt that these men are Garston's?"

"Kayle Delwyn disagrees with Sasha Jace."

"Kayle Delwyn",""I can't be certain, it happened so fast...""

"Kalen Cook nods to Saachi Medvyed."

"Raku Kirigiya","We need to act fast..."

"Solya Frost","They're in his pocket at the very least, most likely."

"Saachi Medvyed waves excitedly at everyone...until she notices they are busy and being serious...."

"Saachi Medvyed whispers to Kalen"

"Dovan Dracht","That enterprising individual who so graciously arrived to do business earlier...Garston, was it? Kept ranting about you in your absence."

"Kayle Delwyn",""I did not recognize any of them, however.""

"Desmond Aryll","Agreed, Solya. They are acting in secret however, so it may only be  a few."

"Solya Frost","Kayle, if you would come with me? We should speak to the Flames."

"Kayle Delwyn makes a straight face at Dovan Dracht."

"Raku Kirigiya","May I come as well?"

"Solya Frost nods to Raku Kirigiya."

"Kayle Delwyn",""Garston?!""

"Raku Kirigiya","Alright."

"Solya Frost","Yes, he showed up after you left..."

"Kalen Cook","Kalen Cook whispers back to Saachi."

"Dovan Dracht","It seems likely he's taken Asdrellia to punish you, specifically."

"Kayle Delwyn",""GARSTON?!""

"Kayle Delwyn staggers before Dovan Dracht."

"Solya Frost","Kayle, sit down, you're making your injuries worse!"

"Dovan Dracht","...mm? the name rings a bell, then?"

"Saachi Medvyed looks at Kayle Delwyn in surprise."

"Kayle Delwyn collapses"

"Solya Frost","Gods, Kayle..."

"Raku Kirigiya reaches for Kayle's shoulder to give him a lift up off the floor"

"Solya Frost crouches behind him and continues tending his wounds. Probably opened a few with that..."

"A'venn Tia backs up to give Kayle some room. As he does, he bumps into Saachi. He offers a polite nod to say hello."

"A'venn Tia nods to Saachi Medvyed."

"Saachi Medvyed smiles meekly and awkardly, giving A'venn a small wave"

"Kayle Delwyn",""Find her Des...  He's playing for keeps....""

"Raku Kirigiya","Desmond."

"Saachi Medvyed whispers to A'venn"

"A'venn Tia returns the smile as best as he can before being whispered to."

"Solya Frost","Everyone here. Before you leave."

"Albinox Battlewarde curiously looks to the group, noticing some familiar faces."

"A'venn Tia returns the whisper."

"Solya Frost digs a small pouch of perls from her robes."

"Desmond Aryll 's brow bunches as he thinks."

"Raku Kirigiya","Solya, me and Desmond will consult the flames, you keep here and treat his wounds."

"Kayle Delwyn",""Drif.. Drifters...  I'm sorry.""

"Desmond Aryll consoles Kayle Delwyn."

"A'venn Tia nods towards Kayle after he whispers to Saachi."

"Kayle Delwyn",""I couldn't... ""

"Desmond Aryll","Nevermind that, Delwyn."

"You burst out laughing at Kayle Delwyn."

"A'venn Tia shrugs at Saachi Medvyed."

"Gaardal Wyght","What's the matter, boy?"

"Dovan Dracht",":annoyed: All right, someone capable of stringing together more than five words at a time, kindly fill me in on what is...oh, you again."

"Raku Kirigiya","I'm getting REAL sick of this guy..."

"Gaardal Wyght","You don't look too good."

"Saachi Medvyed waves at Kayle"

"Saachi Medvyed kneels before Kayle Delwyn."

"Kayle Delwyn",""If you harm her...""

"Saachi Medvyed","Excuse me... sir... Kayle?"

"Kayle Delwyn weakly rises."

"You point at Kayle Delwyn."

"Kayle Delwyn staggers before you."

"A'venn Tia sees Gaardal and marches right up to him."

"Saachi Medvyed",""I know we don't know each other and.... Ah.... Ok.""

"Gaardal Wyght","I told you.  Garston Hext does NOT make idle threats."

"Solya Frost"," I would rather have the first hand account, but I suppose Kayle is in no /condition to move, Kayle!/"

"Raku Kirigiya","You hurt our leader... you've probably hurt Elli... what kind of sick fool are you!?"

"You smile at Raku Kirigiya."

"A'venn Tia nocks and arrow and aims at Gaardal's head."

"Sasha Jace nocks and arrow and stares down Gaardal"

"Sasha Jace","I don't miss a second shot"

"Dovan Dracht","At least he's not wearing that hideos lime green whatever that was...though I daresay he's a bit of a disgrace to the reknowned pugilist pink..."

"Gaardal Wyght","He gets what he wants.  You took what was 
rightfully his."

"Dovan Dracht","*hideous"

"Desmond Aryll crosses his arms and closes his eyes."

"Gaardal Wyght growls at Dovan but says nothing"

"A'venn Tia","You have five seconds to tell us where our friend is."

"Dovan Dracht blows you a kiss."

"Gaardal Wyght","Next time, I will make sure they kill one of your Drifters."

"A'venn Tia looks quite seriously towards Gaardal."

"Solya Frost draws a rapier from her side and strides swiftly for Gaardal"

"Gaardal Wyght eyes the woman, backstepping quickly"

"Kayle Delwyn",""Find her...""

"Solya Frost pressed the blade to his neck and tries to back him up to the wall. "If you harm them, I swear I will rip the flesh from your bones and use it to trap your soul for eternity.""

"Kalen Cook","Not so fast..."

"You laugh at Solya Frost."

"Kalen Cook","This time you stay."

"Dovan Dracht approaches slowly, hands up in a nonthreatening posture."

"Solya Frost","You and your ilk. You will know suffering."

"Gaardal Wyght","One is already harmed.  *nods to Kayle*  Heard he screamed alot too .... or cried."

"You shrug at Solya Frost."

"Solya Frost","Consider this a warning."

"Dovan Dracht","Now, now...let's hear our friend out here. You claim Kayle took something of Darston's. Terribly rude of him. What might we do to set the ledger in order?"

"Dovan Dracht","*Garston"

"Raku Kirigiya grips his blade tightly, clenching his fist, causing his skin to puncture."

"Gaardal Wyght","Well, one who has a civil tongue and is not an animal."

"Raku Kirigiya flinches and continues glaring as some blood drips out of his glove and onto the floor."

"Kayle Delwyn rises slowly, supporting himself on his sword."

"Raku Kirigiya","((Whinces*))"

"Gaardal Wyght","Your friends here stole Asdrellia from Garston."

"Solya Frost","Stole her from you?"

"Gaardal Wyght points to Kayle and Desmond "Those two in particular."

"You nod to Solya Frost."

"Raku Kirigiya","Elli doesn't belong to anyone especially not that freak!"

"Saachi Medvyed looks to Desmond with curiosity"

"Desmond Aryll listens passively, still not acting."

"Gaardal Wyght","Oh yes.  Rightfully his.  He lost a large sum of gil from it too."

"Solya Frost","Elaborate, swine."

"Dovan Dracht","Yes, yes, I'd gathered that. Territorial little man, isn't your employer? But Asdrellia is quite lovely..."

"You shrug at Dovan Dracht."

"Gaardal Wyght","Why she'd make a good trade for the Amaalj'aa"

"You laugh at Dovan Dracht."

"Solya Frost encases her free hand in ice and strikes for the man's stomach."

"Saachi Medvyed curses the Twelve."

"Gaardal Wyght opens his mouth to say something else, but gets hit hard in his stomach, gasping, clutching at his as his falls back into the wall"

"Dovan Dracht","Oh, come now...that would be a bit of a waste, wouldn't it? You give her over to those brutes, and you'll not be able to jab our little company so artfully next time..."

"Solya Frost grabs him by the collar of his shirt and slams him to the wall. "How about I take you and sell you to them right now?!""

"Solya Frost","No... that'd be too good for you. But, guess what? You're going to jail."

"Gaardal Wyght glares at Solya, coughing hard.  He lets out a strangled laugh "You do that, casting bitch.  You'll be there soon after in chains.""

"Dovan Dracht","Ahh, er, my enthusiastic woman, do we presently know where Asdrellia may be?"

"Saachi Medvyed points at you."

"Solya Frost","Do you recognize this hat?"

"Saachi Medvyed",""You there!""

"Raku Kirigiya","I'm not sure how much more I can stand of this guy... sooner or later one of us is gonna hurt him..."

"Gaardal Wyght flicks his eyes upwards then nods "One of the Flames.  I am not blind.""

"Saachi Medvyed",""Nooo.... No one is getting hurt. Not in this city. Not anywhere. Do you really think you can make a scene like this and succeed at whatever plans you have?""

"Solya Frost","And you just confessed conspiracy to sell a young woman to the Amalj'aa."

"Raku Kirigiya","Kayle are you okay?"

"Dovan Dracht","Well, let's make it count, then. We should either treat with him and broker a deal, or torture the information out of him."

"Solya Frost","With your boss."

"Saachi Medvyed",""You did. You confessed. In public. There are more of us than you. You've made a series of terrible mistakes""

"Saachi Medvyed points at you."

"Kayle Delwyn",""You're going away, Gaardal.  Drifter's, take him.""

"Dovan Dracht","...or, yes, I suppose incarcerate him, but that's hardly befitting our current level of drama..."

"Solya Frost","Hold this man while I put on my uniform."

"Saachi Medvyed rushes to grab at Gaardal"

"Saachi Medvyed",""I have no idea what inspired you to do this or why you thought you'd get away with it. All that matters is to me is that you won't. This ends.""

"Gaardal Wyght laughs, eying those around him before lunging at Kayle, grabbing his throat at the same time as he casts his teleport"

((Things got hectic here so I apologize if anyone was ignored.  Essentially, ICly Gaardal grabbed Kayle in his weakened state in a last ditch effort when teleporting away to break the man on his own terms, away from the other Drifters.))
((Gaardal threw Kayle to the ground, taunting and clearly enjoying the pain he was in.  When Kayle tried to call for help, Gaardla punched him across the jaw hard.  As he staggered to his feet, Gaardal drew a knife and shoved it into Kayle's chest, leaving the man to die))

"Gaardal Wyght","I'm sure you won't mind if I take these ..."

"J'maya Xhula","Ok buddy I have no idea whats going on but..."

"Gaardal Wyght strips the man of his armor, standing with it in his arms"

"J'maya Xhula","I think its time for an ass whoopin"

"Solya Frost","Kayle?!"

"Gaardal Wyght","If you hurry ... he might live.  I'll keep his armor for Garston."

"You burst out laughing."

"You bid farewell."

"A'venn Tia doesn't wait this time. He fires an arrow towards Gaardal's knee."

"Raku Kirigiya","I can raise him."

"Saachi Medvyed glowers at Gaardal"

((A'venn was able to fire off two arrows that punctured Gaardal's thigh and under his right knee.  But Kayle lay near death and Garston got so much of what he wanted.

You can read that part of the RP here.  I hope everyone had a ton of fun!))
