Ben froze as he was addressed. He turned to see yet another young girl.

"I- No. I'm not."

The mention of alchemy brought to mind the destructive moranth munitions used by Malazan sappers. Something he worked very hard to be as far as possible from. In his opinion, as brave and skilled as they were, every one of them had to be insane in some way.

"I'm a mage and aren't you a little bit lightly dressed for this weather?"

With the first gunshot dozens more rang out on both sides as the situation dissolved into a giant firefight on the bridge. Flagg paused as bullets richeted off of the ground around him and shattered windows. He looked up and across the bridge in time to see the second of his prisoners drop to the ground.

This was not in the plan at all. Flagg walked briskly to one of the armoured police vehicles and climbed inside, accelerating through the police barricades and smashing through the line of vehicles and those taking cover behind them. Bullets bounced off of the vehicle and spiderwebbed the windshield but he didn't exactly need to be precise to smash through the gates with two dozen tons of steel.

The van skidded to a stop and He threw open the door.

"Get in folks. Last chance."

As the handful of convicts closest piled in he pulled a tire screeching u-turn and sped back across the bridge. This wasn't at all going as expected.

Here's mine

Indrau nodded slowly. Everyone that the order attracted as of late seemed to be a little bit... odd lately. Well, if this was a guest of the Captain (and no imposter would ever be that flustered), then he should treat her with all respect. He was raised in a castle of course.

The knight squared his shoulders and offered his arm for her to take.

"She should be having breakfast right now. I'll take you to her."

@VitaVitaAR
Name: Kell Hollander
Age: 47
Gender: Male
Race: Undead
Appearance:


Personality:
Kell can be a little bit dry to start. It could be said that any sense of humor or warmth of personality died with him. Outwardly he has a wicked tempter but deep down might linger some small spark of his former camaraderie. Kell was once that charismatic leader that inspired stories as mush as they inspired those that followed them. He was brave, ambitious and compassionate. Every man under him was like family.

Skills:
Kell is and always has been a brutal melee fighter. He has never bothered with artful one hit kills but instead is content with taking any small opening to inflict even a small amount of damage. He is more reckless now, risking his own body for these chances.

Abilities:
Once, in his prime, metals flowed like water under his touch. Blades he wielded were keener than a surgeons scalpel, he could walk seamlessly through steel barricades and bullets splashed off of him like rain. The curse of being undead has robbed him of some of that supreme control. The metal he shapes comes out lumpy and uneven. Things take longer than they used to and he lacks the ability to add fine details.

Now he is undead, a walking corpse with his mind intact. In exchange for robbing a portion of his power the curse lets him recover slowly from damage as well as ordinary wear and tear. Without having to worry about damage to his own body he can move faster and hit harder than before without tiring.

Equipment:
Mishapen Blades - A pair of swords and a long knife made entirely from steel. They posess an absurd weight but are otherwise ordinary in every way.

Brief History:
From the start of Atoran Yelns tyranny Kell had been a fighter putting his every effort against it. Before then he was simply an ambitious young man waiting for a cause. When it came he threw every ounce of effort into it, soon becomming a vaunted leader. At the height of the empire he fled to Laake, cross training with their elite forces to give both he and them an edge in the war.

As was maybe inevitable, one of his daring missions failed with the loss of every person involved. It was a trap of course, a target cunningly set to be too appealing to pass up. He was captured, identified as a former citizen and dissenter, and sentenced to be executed. His eventual fate was worse.

Kell was put under the purview of the necromancer Valence Dane. Through he power he was tortured and held on the brink of death. The Yeln army began to call him 'Scarecrow', after the days he spent hanging crucified, taken down and healed before being out up again. After an eternity he was allowed to die, but for just a moment. The former fighter was brought back as an undead weapon under the thrall of the necromancer. Kell fought against his former allies up until the very end of the war.

During the final battle he was separated from he side during a massive exchange of destructive power. Kell fell into a catatonic state, was gathered up as just another casualty of battle, and interred in a mass grave with the rest of the empires dead. Months later he clawed his way to the surface, moving under his own will for the first time in years. Now he has only thoughts of revenge on his mind.

hey, don't forget about me!

Salz followed the others to the dining room. She hadn't gotten any training in but tomorrow would be better anyway. By then her arm should be healed and she would be able to engage in practice matches. A part of her wondered what it might be like to fight Tyeathe but there was no way that Salz would be able to keep up with her speed. Maybe one of the other two would be a better match.

She grabbed two plates and seated herself near a wall. Salz always thought it would be impolite for her to sit near the middle of a room, blocking peoples sight lines and intruding into the aisles between tables. In her homeland they would have used syrup made from raw sugar and vanilla. Indraus family used honey.


— Candaeln —


He spotted his adopted sister across the room. After the news he had received she was one of the last people he would want to speak with. That Salz hadn't told him when she arrived meant that she knew the full implications of the news and there were ulterior motives to her coming here.

Indrau stood and left the dining hall. He had a letter to write and the last of his ink had been used up penning reports for the Roses. After a short detour to his room to grab his traveling cloak Indrau walked out to the main entrance, cane practically stabbing at the stone floor. He paused.

A visitor. Doubtlessly he did not look very inviting with a scowl on his face and a tense, almost angry posture. Regardless, he was the only knight present at the moment. His expression softened slightly.

"Oh, a guest. Can I help you?"

As Misaki left Ben stood still for a heartbeat and then slashed his hand through the air, dissolving the portal. The mage stood for a minute and then noticed that, along with not remembering where he had been before ending up in this strange work, he had no idea when he had last eaten.

Quick Ben took several dozen steps, picturing in his mind what he wanted and then slashed his hand through the air again without breaking pace. He emerged on a street that wouldn't have looked too terribly out of place in Itko Kan, if one ignored the massive buildings that rose above the food stalls that lined the streets.

Now Ben was faced with another problem. He was certain he had none of the money that they might use in this place.

To throw themselves across the bridge would cause a fantastic massacre, both for the police on the other side and the escapees. Unfortunately his manpower was limited or he would do just that. Instead he left the room, closing the door behind himself. Flagg lifted his hood and disappeared around the corner, quite literally, as he quickly drew a doorway on the wall and stepped through it.

The Walking Man emerged from a phone booth on the far side of the bridge, chuckling softly.

Ben stood up and brushed the ashes off of his pants. He cracked his fingers and paused in thought.

"So what you're saying is that you're a liability and I should leave you here. If I let you go there's a chance you could tell the people who guard this city about me. You would think that my choice would be an easy one. If you aren't from here either then I doubt anyone would miss you for a while."

He took twelve evenly spaced paces, turned on his heel and returned to where he started. Ben reached into a pocket of his robe and started to sort through the contents. After a moment he held out a small acorn.

"But I don't dirty my own hands if I don't have to. With Oponns luck it won't come to that. There could be things here that you aren't prepared to deal with. I'll indebt myself to you, one favour. Crush this underfoot and I will be able to find you."

With his free hand he gestured and opened a portal back to Tokyo.

It didn't take long for the prison to be entirely overrun with the guards having no control over any of the doors and the sharpshooters in the towers taken down. Flagg distributed the weapons to those that he found worthy, that he could see small parts of himself reflected in.

His army of convicts held the sole bridge connecting it to the mainland. Soon sirens could be heard converging from the city itself with police helicopters already in the air.
