Well. Is it cooler now?

But yeah brief rundown of what happened.
1.) Elric being held hostage by Burly Plate Goon downstairs at his place.
2.) Knight's kid playing in my study, leaving my books askew! Oh, also the Traitor is going there to steal my stuff to help EVIL EMPIRE.
3.) James is McGruff the Crime Dog, as Tirarian learned first hand. Following Elric's lead on where crime tends to happen, James found a criminal and dispatched him.
4.) Brian the Thug, is dead, and has his blood drained, Tirarian watched.
