Re: An Easy Score (Ubberific) GMed by ranger
"Aye sir!" Rikke cheerfully nodded at the man, turning around and allowing him to ride piggy back on her. Thankfully he wasn't too heavy.
"So how long have you been down here?" Slowly making their way up Rikke striked a conversation with the man "Can't tell ye lass... bloody days mixed into one big haze. Used to try to count em, but lost track." a heartful sigh escaped the man "The things they talked and did, lass... bloody hell" Rikke tried to give the man an encouraging smile, but he'd hardly see it.
"So what brought you here? Can't imagine this manor being a adventure hotspot" Rikke snickered lightly "Let's just say... never listen to a drunkards advice about treasure." The old man let out a painful laughter, obviously he was hardly in shape to laugh anymore "Oi oi... some of me best friends are drunkards!... but ah bloody well would not take advice from them!" with that fun note, the two reached the top of the stairs.
"Over there" the man riding piggyback pointed Rikke towards a cabinet. Stepping over of what seemed the now dead remains of the demon swordsman, Rikke hardly felt any guilt. She gave the man his final chance at life, but it seemed his obviously far too lean phisique didn't take long to run out of energy 'You reap what you sow...' The man on the girls back surveyed the scene "Oi... did ya take out both of these here gits?" Rikke smiled proudly and just nodded "Mhm~" The man was obviously impressed, but he didn't seem the kind to just shower people with compliments "...a wee bit sloppy in the executions aren't ye? This one might've even survived if he bloody had any meat on his bones."; "I'd rather not kill anyone Groggy... Why would I harm an opponent I already defeated any further" perplexed at the girls words the piggy back ridder bonked her lightly on the head "Ye do realise these are bloody murderes and rapists! Do ye even know what would happen to someone like ye if they caught ye!" Rikke lowered her eyes as if guilty "But..."; "BUT nothing! I can promise ye these two bastards had killed their share of innocent people and ye just want ta let them walk." Obviously the man was outraged at Rikkes actions, seemingly furious at the girls merciful nature "Ye might pass that naive bullshet somewhere else, but yer in a den of rapists and murderers now girl! I'll bloody well slap some sense into ya if ah see the murderer of me friends walking around just a wee bit woozy!" At this point Rikke honestly wouldn't have been surprised if the mans mouth started foaming... even though he meant well it was best to change the subject, and fast. "Oh~ hey we're at the cabinet already!" This seemed to calm the man down atleast for now.
Looked like the cabinet didn't get any love for quite some time, a thick coat of dust rested all around it, however it still had the promised contents. Upon opening it was clear this was a backup defense storage. A few swords and rifles rested inside. "This one?" Rikke picked up the least worn down weapon and raised it for the man to inspect. "Aye this will do just fine. Grab some ammo and get me on some high ground" Rikke quickly climbed the rumble and placed the old man on top giving him full and unobstructed vision on the room. "Thanks lass, now scoot on out of here. There's no treasure in this here mansion anymore."
Rikke smiled cheerfully at the man on top of the rubble "I'm affraid, I can't do that" the old man raised an eyebrow at the rogue "The girls in the tower still need my help. I'm not leaving without them" The old man eyed the heroine silently for a brief moment and sighed deeply once more "I know that look, yer set on going aren't ye." placing his palm on his forehead the man uttered something under his breath "crazy git..."; "I won't try to talk ya out of it. Just promise me you'll get out the fock out of there if it gets too dangerous. I'll make sure noone flanks ye from here" The girl smiled at the king of the hill "Don't die Groggy." the old man answered her with his own warm smile "You too, lass. I'll be waiting here for ye and the girls, don't disappoint me ya hear" the girl chuckled lightly and playfully winked at her sentry "You can count on me!"
Rikke made her way towards the entrance, the old mans weary look leading her out. 'The demon HQ lies just beyond here.. the girls, the mistress and... the shadowy one will probably be inside.' "Lass! Make those bastards pay for what they did here! I'll make sure me friends drink ta yer honor!" Raising her fist, as if in acknowledgment to the old man, Rikke steeled herself up and proceeded into the tower.
