Redwater. That was the name of a giant and wealthy City-State that sat on a very profitable piece of coast, which was smack dab in the middle of multiple kingdoms and empires. Being in this position meant that alot of the world's trade flowed through the city which earned it the nickname, The Crossroads of The World, and with so many different parties interested in making sure no one else gained control of The Crossroads, it was safe from the world's conflict. That didn't mean it didn't have its own internal conflicts though. Where ever wealth flowed, crime inevitably followed. As a result, Redwater had one of the largest crime networks in the world, thriving off of the wealth and opportunity that the city presented. Even with the city guard having almost all of its attention on this problem, crime still ran rampart. It was like no one could fight this wave of crime... well perhaps there was someone...
The sky was starting to grow dark, the few rays of sunshine still spilling over the horizon left the sky a beautiful violet color. Yet even with this tell tale sign of darkness approaching, Elysabeth Moonstone sat alone in her home. Her roommate and childhood friend, Julia, had still not returned home yet. Liza herself had just returned from a long and very busy day at her job as kitchen help for a nearby inn, and because she had just arrived home and the fact that Julia did sometimes have to take very long shifts, though they were rare, Liza didn't worry much. Instead she started to busy her self once more in her own kitchen this time, preparing a meal for herself and Julia. She had just started when the relatively quite of her house was suddenly interrupted.
BAM, BAM, BAM! Loud and almost frantic sounding banging was coming from the front door, and only a few seconds later, the banging repeated. BAM, BAM, BAM! Already sensing that who ever it was, wasn't going to give up until someone answered, Liza went to the front door and started to open it and most likely yell at who ever was interrupting her peace. Yet, right as she had unlocked the door and had started to open it, a large amount of force suddenly hit the door, kicking it back into Liza and stumbling her backwards! A large masked man stood there, his foot landing once again after having kicked the door open! In an instant Liza spotted two shorter men, dressed similarly to the first!
Roll initiative!
