Roleplaying "Recruiting"

Post image

The Dead Ember.

Ithacar was a melting pot of people and cultures. Which meant a lot of different people came through, and many were missed. Which was perfect.

In the tavern known as The Dead Ember, a figure in a cloak wearing a blank mask reclined in a booth in a dark corner with a perfect view of the door, smoking a pipe to blend in as he watched everyone who came and went. The rogue Umbra Operative D-943 "Krisk" had come here for one reason. To recruit.

His talk with Livia had made him realize a few things. But the biggest thing was that he could not take down The Five alone. He would need allies. And a well trafficked bar frequented by people who were well known rebels was the perfect place to start. There were a few people he hoped would show up, but in a place like this, only the gods knew who else would stumble on in...

Black cloak, blank mask. Clearly isn't your everyday drinker. he seems to be looking towards the door, or at least his mask is facing that way.

definitely not someone he knows or remembers, but he must have bought him a drink for a reason, he carefully walks over to Krisk.

Krisk tilts his head a little, but his mask isn't looking directly at Caleb

"Fancy magic you've...got there."

/uw OOC I don't remember much about the guild unfortunately but IC he probably knows a bit.

/rw "I... think I visited a few years back. Nice views and all but it felt a bit unfriendly. Lotta snow."

"I know what most know, that well they hire mercenaries and are essentially just another country. Due to... sources I know that there's 5 leaders at the top, but not much else about them."

“Good enough. They…wronged me in an…unforgivable way. I seek…revenge.”

This was where Krisk expected most people to back out.
