[center][color=Crimson][h2][b][u]Jin the Undying [/u][/b][/h2][/color][/center] [center][hider=Previously] Apparently a bad combination of feelings was about to encounter the man who strolled casually. This man was none other than Jin, who was returning from a mission gained from The Strumpet Inn. Walking through an alleyway, which was a 'shortcut' by his consideration, was cut short when pathway was in fact blocked. Two individuals exited the shadows and now stood before himself, while three more awaited for Jin to turn and 'run' from the situation unfolding. Utterly weakly a smirk etched into Jin's expression as he spoke. "[color=Crimson]Oi, oi, why don't you spare yourself the energy and pain. Move... [/color] The two men in front of Jin unvailed weapons. One a mace and the other a short-sword. Two men behind, of the three, already brandished their weapons. Both held the same weapon combo as the two in front of Jin. The one who remained unarmed must of been the leader. not only due to the way he spoke, but the way he held himself. Confident.... Every so often, several of the men surrounding Jin, would eye a nearby 'wanted' poster. "[color=Gray] You must be a fool, if you think we don't know who you are... Not only that, who you work for is distasteful. The Strumpet Inn is getting missions involving 'bringing justice' to members of our gang. I'm not particularly a fan of that idea. So payback is most definitely in order. [/color] Laughter interrupted the leaders sentence between talking about Jin and the Strumpet Inn. Once the leader finished talking completely, the others laughed as well while entering a more 'battle ready' stance. Tilting head left and right. Rotating/shifting torso right and left, each time granting view of the men behind himself, various cracks and pops occurred as joints and bones are stretched. "[color=Crimson]I'll warn ye one final time. Also, threaten me if you will. But speak or act ill towards The Strumpet inn, or it's patrons, and i'll be forced to act with lack of mercy.[/color]" While saying 'lack of mercy' a man standing in front of Jin collapsed along with another man who was standing behind himself and nearby the leader. These men were not only the largest or 'the brawn' of the group, but the men bearing maces. The men muttered something about feeling weak or exhausted... This was due to 'snatch', Jin's talent. This action or play of events also caused the rest of the enemies to act. Two men, one in front and behind, lunged swords forward. Some may have seen this as a flurry or blur of movements taking place. Jin held his multi-sectioned staff, the first and last piece each blocking a blade. Swiftly as the blocks occurred parries were made leaving the two men disarmed. Pushing forward a kick Jin attacks one man, slamming his staff backwards the second man is also hit. The kick left the mans sternum cracked, the staff hit knocked out [i](and probably cracked the skull)[/i] the second man. Demeanor of the 'leader' shifted faintly, fear was etched into his expression. Each one of these 'attackers' were ordinary humans from what Jin could tell. The other two men enduring Jin's 'Snatch' technique were still kneeling on the ground complaining about loosing their strength. A heavy sigh exits Jin's lips. "[color=Crimson]Disappointing display. You've even lost your confidence. Now do me the favor of telling me your so called gangs name.[/color]" Clenching the weapon in hand, Jin looks back over his shoulder at the so called leader. Upon making eye contact, the man informed Jin of the gangs name. Along with informing Jin their actions would cease against the Strumpet Inn and the people of the city. With a wicked smile Jin informed the foolish individual that his wrath would be much worse if these were lies he heard. On that note, Jin continued his venture towards The Strumpet Inn. [/hider][/center] Walking into the Inn, as usual, Jin announced his presence. Walking to the bar, Jin places the reward he earned from the mission he completed earlier upon the counter. A decent bag of gold. [i](The missions he completed, were several mundane escort and courier missions. Taking someone or something from one city or village to the next.)[/i] "[Color=Crimson]Ello! I've completed the missions which i assigned for.... Even one that stumbled upon me. The rouge band which was attacking a nearby city. Ah... I never seem to recall it's name. Sadly tried to jump me as I made my way home. None the less, despite not properly signing up for the mission, it's been taken care of.[/color]" Over the last two months out of his six being at the Strumpet Inn, Jin has started calling it his home out loud. Currently he sat next to Veda. Fully knowing her presence or being there, just yet to announce said fact. Motioning to the bartender, he asked for his usual drink. A rather unknown and rare mead which was really only kept in stock due to his constant demand of it. Not to mention said mead was rather expensive.
