Everything is Permitted l Annora & Raiza l Job

looking down at his torn and tattered cloak from the previous job with Thorn, the youth would have a sigh escape his lips so casually upon entering this nearby village. The escape from all those high class guards had defiantly taken its toll on the young mage, obvious by the beaten up cloak he wore into the town. "Wonder if it has spread already...", knowing full well he could never enter the capital city again, especially after so openly killing such a political figure as he did. Well.. Thorn did but the number of innocents and guards he had killed... the numbers tallied up way too much, and to a point he deserved to be on guard at almost any time. Maybe things could settle down...

"and maybe they shouldn't settle it either...cause I like it" the dark crooked smile replaced his typical blank stare in which he turned down a street, looking at all the innocents, but he was also scanning for any wanted signs or rumors going around. He was actually here to stalk up on a few things before he met Thorn back towards the spooky forest to go meet the guild, something he finally accepted, and he knew would have happened sooner or later, and actually with all those he met before, he began to truly wonder about the guilds that he already encountered.

The striding steps he was taking, pushing himself forward as he did notice one particular thing, among many civilians, there were also a few highly trained mages, they branded the sign of a rune knight too. Why were they here though? It didn't make sense, but to him, it felt strange. Were they here for him? For another dark mage possibly? Though to not linger too much onto it, Raiza began to travel by allyway in order to avoid most, at least 'for now' kind of moment, just to reduce encounters until he felt more at ease. Nothing like having to report to Thorn he'd had to kill rune knights to meet up. Geez...one day a nuetral sellsword, and the other a chaotic mass murderer.

Though thats when he sensed a familiar magical presence. "Her?" he whispered, curiousity dragged his interest, turning down a few more allyways until he stood in the middle of one, staring down at the bodies and then...her. The woman he did that one job with, but this time, they weren't on a job, and instead Raiza noticed that the dead had to have been from her, but more so, would she notice how much difference was in him..no, she couldn't tell he had just gotten done killing so many guards at the capital could she?

"We meet again hm"

Silence was all some people needed to understand one and another. The scent of blood had this small area filled with it, and it bothered neither one of the two. It allowed Raiza to not just observe and take note but to also stand there almost in disbelief. He just got done escaping Crocus the capital city after him and Thorn did an assassination job. Except they had to do it publicly, which drew a lot of attention to the both of them. Unlike the job he did with this woman before him, he had to kill not just some petty mice but rather he ended up killing many guards and ending many innocent lives. Now, staring at the situation before him, he began to realize not just his own actions, but the actions of others was prominent. Thse he encountered so far up to this point were majorily dark natured. Sure he encountered a good number of 'good' aligned people, and in fact, he encountered more good people than bad. Logic said he should have gone to the light side.

Too bad Raiza just happened to be swayed to the other side, those that he did interact on the darker side held more potent of a grasp, and with his actions prior to even joining this side had already lead up a vast sum before he did. "A woman like you only has that kind of look when they're about to kill someone important" be it if his words were true or not, Raiza already understood it all, and with what he decided to do earlier that day already meant he'd simply aid this woman here. Sure he was heading towards the spooky forest after this encounter, but that didn't matter for now. His own actions now showed he was prepared and ready to kill again, especially right now.

Though as the woman calmly walked past, Raiza didn't hesitate to turn towards the open street, watching the woman from behind, his gaze never would shift, other than the occasional glance towards the rune knight guards around 'Thats right... rumors were going around a major of the rune knights was coming here. That may just be her target. Kind of dangerous but oh well'. Keeping his composer he began to trail behind the woman, a blank stare on his face while keeping a cautious gaze to his surroundings. "Behind you...just like in that one job, except this time, I'll do more than last time.", his words escaped his lips in a whisper after he had caught back up with her, but kept it discrete from the civilians near him.

(post holder for a roll)

The member 'Raiza' has done the following action : Dice Rolls

'Monster Dice' :

A coy whispered sigh escaped the youth's lips as he trailed not too far behind. It wouldn't be long now, the rush felt different than when he and Thorn took out Gregory. Instead was not as adrenaline rushing as before, the beat of the heart was too calm. His limbs were no longer shaking with anticipation like he did the very first time, everything seemed way too calm compared to the first time around. It was as if the instinct to do this became more and more natural with each step he took.

Keeping tabs with each step the duo took, Raiza made sure to make note of exactly what they were getting themselves into. The ordeal they were in now as far as Raiza saw was the fact that there were plenty of guards around. So... it was just like that mission to kill Gregory right? The guards he and Thorn fought before were fairly decent strength and to a level that was annoying at times. The suppression squads were the biggest annoyance, but the guards around here didn't appear much on the level of those suppression squad guards. No, these were the rune knights. Raiza knew all too well that a rune knight themselves were fairly decent in strength, not the best guards just based on sensing their magic energy. Must be Private or just right above it by a step or two. Even seeing their health bars, Raiza could guess they only needed equivalent to a B-class spell, or a couple C class spells to take them down.

Though luckily, there was no way news of what Raiza did before could have traveled here so fast, so the jump of the gun would defiantly not happen. Though... his partner smelling like blood made the situation a little more tense, hopefully none of them would catch on. Hopefully she also realized Raiza was going to follow her lead, and not exactly go and do how he felt the job could be handled. After all, alerting them now could mean quite the disaster.

What could have started as nothing but a pleasant tea party with rainbows and unicorns and fluffy...okay enough even Raiza couldn't think of something that twisted. uagh... ponies. Either way, with the thought of this being a quick and peaceful encounter out the window, Raiza simply stood there staring at the guards with a calm face. "Who are we? Well she.. I can't speak up for...but me? Why does it even matter?" His words calm, patient and trying to win this situation into a back stab moment, especially if he could divert their attention using charisma. It was rumored after all that the darkest of mages used their tongue very well, and it'd be quite the laugh to show that right now.

"As for why i am here? Well, why are any of these civilians here? I reside in a cottage nearby, am I not allowed to come here?" though it seemed that just trying to word his way through these guards might be different, and hopefully his partner knew what he was doing, and would take advantage of that. After all, with the area croweded, a quick kill may be what was needed, but if they just drew blades now then the odds may worsen for them by many times over. It was a win-lose situation. Either be patient, or go out blazing to cause more massacre, which... Raiza didn't exactly have any remorse to the guards that would die here today anyways. If it happened, then it would happen, so be it.

Even his pet Twix began to stir from within, getting ready to strike. It was a relevently new pet, after his wisp left him for good back when he did the assassination mission with thorn, he aquired this new one that saw his assault, and decided to join up. It was all but for the better anyways, a pet that resided inside his own body ready to be used, it made a life time of difference at this age.

'idiots'. It was all that Raiza could think when trying to interact with these rune knights, and only watching them begin to get riled up when his partner had began to work more and more towards making them angry only made Raiza want more and more to actually just blow this entire place up. He figured why not, after all he was on his way towards savage skull's hide out with thorn right after this. He had just got done killing many guards at the capital city.

It was only when the guards drew their swords, did Raiza decide to make his next chess move. "Before you swing your swords down on us. I might want to educate you on something before you do that. Did you hear about the capital city's massacre yet? of the late mr.Gregor Cassel." His words became more and more of an attempt to intimidate before his strike began. The guards seemed confused but only one had heard of it so far. Perhaps more in the area, but out of these few it wasn't too widely known yet.

"We rune knights have that catastrophe under control and you know it. The perpetrators are already caught." One of the runeknights had responded to Raiza's little game, and that was his next key.

Making a whistling sound, Raiza acted as if impressed. Though even from that it had jarred the one rune knight's memory enough of the description of the killers on that day. A young woman and a young man. Raiza'a partner now didn't fit the description of that woman, but he himself sure fit his own description. While it didn't cause them to back down, what it did do was cause them to shift focus. Which was a good thing, considering he knew exactly that his partner was fast, her figure was much more attuned for that way.

Not...that he was checking her out or anything before but...new subject. "Black hair, red pupil, black sclera, tattered dark brown and black clothing. Worn out armor, and... a gunblade. Thats the description no?" he smiled, flicking his hand and causing such a weapon to be unsheathed and now extended out before the rune knights. "I am Raiza, of Savage skull, and I dearly hope you realize what a mistake you've made by drawing your blade against an S-class mage such as myself". While it was a lie, Raiza was no S-class mage, it did make his ego rather... high. No doubt so high it'd just be unimpresive to his partner but he didn't care. His  plan was to draw their attention, and let her strike, so he could even aid onto that strike when needed.

Why doesn't he deal with them? The words were like telling a murderer to have free roam on the town. Then again, that was exactly what was being said. The Rune Knights by now had no way to figure out that Raiza's pet twix had already been awake long enough that it had slithered from his body to get behind the knights. "I think I'll let it feast on these four", the words spilled from his mouth as he reached for his blood blade that was strapped to his back.

"like hell we're going to let you assault us you piece of shit. By order of the law, you both will be taken into custody now!" All four were now more than on guard, they were drawing their own swords. Geez why does everyone have swords in the magical world again?

Why did the knight have to speak? Why... it only made things worse by insulting them, in fact it'd be a surprise if Raiza's partner in this didn't act simply because of that. Though the knights would not go far especially once Twix shot out a multitude of spiked tendrils from behind them, all aimed to pierce any gaps in armor, and aim for the fleshy squishy parts of the human body, slicing through their weakness like it was nothing. two had nearly instantly fallen from that, while one of the guards were able to whip around ignoring the flesh wound to slice at the creature, which gave Raiza an opening.

'activate lag switch'. It wasn't long till time froze for but 1.5 seconds, even for Raiza's partner, as he didn't want her interfering and getting caught up in his attack. Using the split time he had, it was nothing for a quick draw of the blade to be drawn out and drive his blade through the side of the guard, of course killing him. That was it on the time stop, so anyone affected would see time suddenly jump 1.5 seconds. They'd effectively see Raiza standing there one moment, then the next, a sword was driven through the body of the third rune knight. Lag is effective at killing, such a cheater Raiza was.

The last knight however would be by now bringing his sword down onto Raiza, whom only had it blocked by his own pet, who used that time of the lag switch to jump into Raiza's body, allowing a block by pushing out a single limb onto the oncoming sword. A common petty squabble's sword was nothing to the thick defense of twix. Though now Raiza was locked swords with this last knight. "So did you figure out how you wanted to die yet?"

His words were just a taunt as it was more than obviously true that he was going to win. Locked swords with this runeknight that was unable to even get ready to cast a spell. Though for Raiza. His attacks were not conventional. His pet would once again slither a few limbs out from Raiza's body in the form of a black ooze that shot out towards the knight, stabbing him repeaditly in a multitude of places, causing the knight's grip on his own sword to become less. It would only take that moment before Raiza pushed the knight back and sliced through the knight's neck, causing the last body to drop. "There, done."
