Verrick ran as fast as he could through the silent streets of the capital, hardly making a sound as he vaulted over stalls and wagons parked for the night, as he neared The Ale House he ripped off his cloak, while smoothly pulled his bow from his shoulder and four arrows from his quiver. Holding them in between his drawstring fingers while moving. As he drew even closer he saw a man run from the building, he didn't know if it was an attacker or a patron, so he didn't attack him. 

He saw Anna struggling with a cloaked figure, while Alexander was being surrounded by more men now. As much as he didn't want to help the drunken dill weed, he decided it better not for him to get killed over something he messed up on.  He notched the first arrow, drawing his longbow he took quick aim at the more important target, the man who was holding Anna. Within seconds of drawing his longbow, he let the arrow fly, his bow strangely more silent than any other bow. The arrow flew, hissing through the front door and into the man’s eye. 

He didn't hesitate though, notching his second arrow just as quickly and smoothly as the first, he pulled back the bow once again and aimed at the next target, letting it loose as he continued to walk towards The Ale House. The second arrow thudding into the back of another hooded figure trying to kill Alexander from behind. 

Two more arrows flew just as quickly, and two more men fell around Alexander with arrows in their necks. Verrick entered the building, and knelt down. [color=007236]"Are you alright Anna?"[/color]

Anna had fallen when the man holding her did. She landed on him with his knee in her back and she had rolled to her knees just as Verrick reappeared. 

[color=39b54a]"Yes, I'm alright. I'm still drunk but you wait til I'm sober you are gonna hear it!"[/color] She got to her feet and swayed a little and she grabbed a knife out of a body near her and tossed it hitting her target but not where she had wanted to. He had moved too fast and got it in the shoulder. [color=39b54a]"Damn it!"[/color] She looked at Verrick.

[color=39b54a]"This is because your mark screwed up or you did right?"[/color] She glanced over at Alex and decided he was holding his own so she let him.  More importantly was the look on her face when she looked at Chester's body. "They killed Chester."

Alexander was somewhat surprised when two of the men surrounding him dropped to the ground, but just adapted to it.  One of the men's eyes lingered just too long at his dead comrades and Alexander took advantage of that.  He rushed in lightning fast and skewered the man on his sword.  He left the man on his sword using the body to block another sword stroke coming at him from his left.  He then pushed the dead man at his comrade and spun around.  The man he was now facing got hit in the shoulder with a dagger and stumbled back.  Alexander kicked the man square in the chest, causing him to go sprawling on the ground.  Alexander then spun while swinging his sword catching him by surprise.  Alexanders blade bit into the man's leg causing him to drop to the ground.  Hearing the man behind him start to get up Alexander kicked the dagger in his shoulder making it rip through more muscle.

Alexander looked around for more enemies, but saw none.  He let his hands drop to his side while he took a deep breath, calming himself.  He looked for Anna, and seeing she was okay decided she probably wouldn't mind him getting a drink.

Verrick narrowed his eyes at her when she accused him, without thanking him. He didn't answer her as he glanced at Alexander when he finished off this last opponent before going around and collecting his arrows. He'd rather not have any proof he was here. 

[color=007236]" You can thank your prince charming here...."[/color] He looked to Anna, [color=007236] " All because he knocked out my mark and screwed up the meeting."[/color] He growled. [color=007236]Your welcome...[/color] As he ripped out the last arrow.

[color=39b54a]"Wait...there is no way he could have known that this would be the result. Drunk people get into fights all the time and it doesn't cause this."[/color]

[color=007236]"Where is my marks wallet Anna!?"[/color] cutting her off, grouchily

Anna pulled it out of her pants pocket and handed it to him. [color=39b54a]"This is what it's all about?"[/color]

He took the wallet and ripped it open. Sighing angrily as he pulled out a paper that was folded as much as it could be folded. Dropping the pouch of money on the counter he slipped the paper into his pants pocket. [color=007236] Your drunk earl took it off of him, and he couldn't pass it onto the ones he worked for.[/color]

As Alexander saw the two fighting and just decided to ignore it and do something useful.  As he was walking to get a drink a sad look came over his face.  He bent down and closed Chester's eyes and went back to finding a drink.  After he got a bottle he pulled a chair over to the table where he had his little captive.  He pulled the dagger out of the man's hand and poured some of the ale onto the wound.  He then let the prisoner drink some of the ale to take a bit of the pain away.

[color=0072bc]"Can't have you screaming when I am trying to ask you some questions can we?"[/color]

He then poured some of the ale on his sword looking the man in the eyes. [color=0072bc] "Can't have you running away either though." [/color] As he said those last words with a violent motion he stabbed the sword back into the original wound.

Alexander looked up towards the arguing pair in the center of the room. [color=0072bc] "Hey I think this man wants to apologize for destroying your bar." [/color] He leaned back towards the whimpering man and said, [color=0072bc]"Next I think you will be a nice gift for the nice man over there for helping me out."[/color]

Anna looked over at Alexander and whipped a knife into the head of the man he was talking to.[color=39b54a] "Apology not accepted!"[/color]
