There were stampings within the bleachers of a large arena, crowds roaring and cheering on for the battling participants within the enclosed walls, sounds of metal clashing and blood splattering were outweighed by the crowds constant cheering. There were five gladiators within the arena, blood had stained the concrete floor from many years of fighting. There was two humans that stayed with each other wielding tridents, a large orc holding a large mace, a small goblin wielding a small Khopesh and finally a half injured human wielding a sword. The battle raged on, crowds cheering loudly, blood splattered across the ground. Eventually it was just the goblin and half injured human with a sword. The goblin smiled know he would win this day, quickly he was able to take out the man, having him on his back as the crowd began, in unisom, cheering, " <b><i>Goblo! Goblo! Goblo!</i></b> " Dropping his foot on the man's chest and raising his khopesh as he looked to the cheering crowd. Having his thumb raised up then would flip it having it pointed down then back up, asking for approval from the paying crowd what they wanted. There was louder roaring and eventually there was a sea of lowered thumbs. There was never raised thumbs for mercy. The goblin looked to the fallen man who had a look of fear in his eyes. " <b>What are you scared for? You'll die a legend! Your blood will be a part of the<i> Defiance!</i></b> " The goblin then brought his khopesh down, slicing the man's head off with a quick cut.<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1653118409712-png.986556/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/923/923686-2cd60f3e9f449a325c60a43f805a9633.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1653118409712.png" title="1653118409712.png" width="100" height="148" loading="lazy"></a><br>​</div>If the ground was shaking beforehand from the stomping and cheering, it was now. As the goblin gladiator raised the decapitated head of his opponent high in the air, the crowd continued their roaring. The goblin was smiling as he garnered all of the attention, enjoying the thrill of battle, death, carnage and blood. Tossing the head to the side, he turned to face a pair of large doors as the roaring died down. Silence filled the arena as there was a very excited taste in the air, anticipation. But for what? "<b> Inhabitants of the Underbelly! </b>" An announcer called, his voice loud enough to echo throughout the carena, the crowd all fell silent. " <b>Our last combatant has made it to the final challenge! The challenge everyone who enters this rings dreams of getting to! Only those who prove to be the strongest make this far. Xix, or as you know him, Goblo is now presented the chance to face our long reigning champion!</b> " The crowd began to slowly get loud, " <b>Goblo has shown much promise and may be able to stand up to the Champion! We are in for an amazing fight! A amazing fight that will go down in Underbelly History!</b> " The crowd now roaring louder than before, Xix had a excited look on his face but he had a nervous pang in his stomach.<br>
<br>
The doors then began to slowly open up, revealing darkness, " <b>Give it up for the Champion of the Underbelly! The Champion of the People! Guardian of Freedom! Chaos Bringer! Lawbreaker!<i> The Bloody Defiance!</i></b> " With each title being called out, it got the crowd even more hyped, Xix smiled holding his khopesh, awaiting his opponent, the Champion. " <b>Give it up for the one, the only, <i>AUREGNOG!</i></b> " The crowd cheered loudly as the Arena itself shook, Xix held his ground, holding his weapon in front of him. He's been waiting for this moment since he knew of the Coliseum here in the Underbelly. This was his chance to make a name for himself, top make money, to garner women. This was his chance to be on top! A goblin! As the cheering and roaring kept escalating, Xix noticed that no one was coming from those doors. Xix lowered his guard staring at the doors. Something was wrong... "<b> Where are you...?</b> " Xix whispered. But no one would come. Eventually, the roaring died down and only silence lingered. Awkward silence. " <b>Oh no...</b> " The announcer whispered that everyone heard, "<b> Oh! Uh, Auregnog will not be coming to fight right now! He has, uh, stepped out for a moment! But don't you worry, Goblo, your opportunity will come to face Auregnog! For now, we will continue the fighting! You best leave!</b> " The crowd began booing before it quickly escalated into an all-out fight with one another.<br>
<br>
Gang guards came running into the bleachers to stop people as Xix made his exit, angry that he would not fight the champion! Why the hell not! What was going on!<br>

Arthur would find himself in the expansive library, with his part done of getting the ones he was indebted to an opportunity to join the Academy, he had gone back to studying, happy to be out of the Underbelly, he felt like he was going to fall back into his previous life, the life he wanted to leave. It felt better being here instead, trying to get away from his past, even though he knows he can't escape it. Especially when he constantly sees the faces of those he has killed in this life and previous, not that it bothers him. He's all too used to the nightmares now, Arthur exhaled as he closed the book he was reading, he looked to his ghostly arm, how it glowed purple. Reminding him of where he came from. Who he truly was, he groaned a little. Looking away, he enjoyed the killing he did in the Underbelly, he knew he did, yet he always tried to be a better man that he could not be. Arthur shook his head and stood up, walking to a few bookshelves, looking for a new book to read. Something to distract him.</div>

Victorique was looking into the mirror, feeling pretty content with her latest purchase. Sadly enough, she felt like she wouldn't be able to enjoy it for long. Where she was going, she was going to need to stand out a little less and have the slightly sturdier dress. She went through her notes one more time, making sure she'd gotten all her facts straight. The champion of the Underbelly's colosseum in Ryke was gone, leaving a fair bit of chaos behind. Rumours had it that he died without any trace of why or how he died, which had the Underbelly call for justice. The latter was odd, coming from a place known for its 'freedom' and chaos, but the situation was explosive enough for the Adventurer's Guild to have taken note of it. After all, enough chaos in the Underbelly would undoubtedly start affecting the 'world above' in a negative manner. Some were even worried that this might be a prelude to a second Controls War, which Victorique learned was a major conflict during which the royal family attempted and failed to bring law and order to the Underbelly. <br>
<br>
That's where Victorique entered the story. As an official Ryken Guild Investigator, she'd been asked to investigate the champion's death and to ensure the situation didn't escalate. She'd also been warned that going to that place on her own was a death sentence and that she should find someone that knew the place well before going there. She debated taking along Rachael, but she knew the exhibitionist would stand out way too much and in a much too negative manner. She wouldn't get any investigating done if Rachael was continuously beating up people trying to cop a feel. <br>
<br>
After some digging, however, she found exactly what she needed. A Human who'd once murdered someone and was forgiven for it, now attempting to be a Ryken Student. That'd  be her ticket into the Underbelly; or so she hoped. She packed her Pocket Dimension, which was nothing more than putting her pipe and freshly bought tobacco into it and quickly changed into her other outfit. <br>
<br>

The colour stood out a bit less, but most of all, it was a bit sturdier. Perhaps that'd help her. Either way, she was ready to leave... now how did she get to the Academy again? She wasn't sure, but it didn't matter too much. She could just go for a jog until she found it. The latter was something she'd gotten pretty darn proud of. She was fast. Really fast. She'd never admit it, but she loved being able to quickly jog to a place a more than 50 kilometres away in just about 20 minutes, which was only half her top speed. She could run that distance in only 10 minutes! She'd never been all that fit in her previous life, so this was simply amazing. Besides, if the streets were too busy, she could stick to the walls instead! Ah. Life was good. <br>
<br>
Being able to reach her destination on foot was nice, but the place itself was a lot nicer. She instantly knew she wanted to return here. An academy as fancy as this one surely had a lot of juicy stories to investigate and interesting facts to learn about. That said, she was here on a mission, so she'd better focus. After asking around a bit, she was eventually pointed into the directions of the Library, where she was told she could find the person of interest. The latter was made extremely easily, as the guy was giving off a purple glow from one of his arms like it was some sort of quest marker. <br>
<br>
…<br>
<br>
…<br>
<br>
Victorique realised the guy looked a fair bit more imposing and scary than she'd accounted for. If he was hear, surely he'd be like... nice? Right? Like, the type to want to better himself, not the type to just want to study how to murder more efficiently, right? He'd already killed someone ones, so who's to say he wouldn't do so again? Wait, no, wrong train of thoughts. She gathered herself. She really should act a bit more professional here. If anyone was to take her serious despite her size, she'd have to act a lot more 'adult' and 'professional' than just letting someone's appearance scare her off. After a few deep breaths, she approached.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Excuse me, sir?”</b></span> She called out for his attention. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“You're Arthur Verg, am I correct?”</b></span> She figured that, with these types, it was probably best to get straight to business. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“I'm Victorique Sopheana, a Ryken Adventurer's Guild Investigator and I was hoping to enlist your services regarding the investigation of some unsettling recent events in the Underbelly.”</b></span></div>

The screams, the cheers of bloody violence, the cacophony of aggression filled the ears of Dayle as he watched the gladiators battle with their lives on the line. <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">"The gubbo's doin' work, ain't he boss?"</span> Zeke commented from the side. He was Dayle's right hand man, and his most trusted subordinate. <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"I have to agree. Quite sinister, this one. The creature bided his time and let the others exhaust each other before letting lose, like a rat."</span> The other beside him was the newcomer of his group, Roy from Red Star. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Eh, I like the orc guy better. Pure unadulterated violence in a single body, I like it."</span> The fight below kept his gaze, and although they were nothing but rats fighting for a short-lived glory, he wasn't above them to condemn them of their choice. Everyone needed to survive in this hellhole of a place, and he was frankly relieved that the main HQ was not under the clutches of the Underbelly. However, he wasn't here to ponder on such thoughts. He was here to enjoy some mindless fight, and he was getting it.<br>
<br>
It was then the the goblin came out as the winner of the battle, one man beneath him as the victor looked at the crowd. It was Dayle's, and all the other audience, decision, whether this man should live or not. Dayle scrunched up in disgust, and did not participate like the crowd. The man's head was then severed, but he only looked on with indifference. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Should've done that in the first place."</span> he muttered, disapproving of the colosseum's conduct. But what does he know? He only shook his head and continued with watching. He crossed his arms as the cheers died down to anticipate the arrival of the champion. Then he felt it. Something was wrong. It has been a few moments since the announcer called for the Underbelly's greatest champion, but no one arrived. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"The two of you, follow me."</span> Zeke and Roy were still confused when Dayle called them, but immediately responded when their boss went past them. They were already heading out of the colosseum as pandemonium started to rear its head inside.<br>
<br>
There was heaviness in Dayle's heart. Although he was new to the Underbelly, he knew who Auregnog was. The greatest champion to ever live in this wretched place, and the sole figure that drove the overworld back when they tried to bring order. That meant that person was an idol among the people, and his sudden disappearance meant one thing; chaos. He clicked his tongue at the thought. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Chaos Bringer alright."</span> This wouldn't be something he would normally involve with, but the reality was that he wasn't independent anymore. There was a whole another matter that would drag his head over. At a corner outside the colosseum, a single man stood out from the rest. There was a saying that he remembered as he looked at this man. <i>In a place like this, those with the confidence to walk in a proper attire are the most dangerous.</i> This man wore the Red Star's signature classy outfits, complete with a hat, a vest, and whatnot. He smiled as Dayle approached him. <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">"Hello, Dayle. A new 'request' has arrived." </span><span style="color: null">Just these few words alone hardened Dayle's expression. This time, Red Star would be directly involved, and he's their Bastard Dog.</span><br>

Arthur sighed as he read the book in front of him, it explained a lot of how spirits worked and how being a spirit medium is able to manipulate the energy ghosts protruded, their ectoplasm into what a person wants. Depending on what you want to do with it. As he was pretty indulged with studying and focusing, he would notice someone come up to the table, but he did not look their way as he continued his studies, writing down notes and sentences then looked back to continue reading. When they announced their presence and asked if he was Arthur. <br>
<br>
He, of course, did not answer, flipping through the next page, sniffling as he then cleared his throat. Showing that this person did not interest him nor garner his attention. Arthur's ghostly purple arm glowed with a strangeness to it, an enigma it was. It was ethereal but a coldness would emit from the arm, Victorique would feel a chill, it was one of death. His arm was cold like a corpse. Although upon hearing that this person was from the Adventurer's Guild and that she was a investigator. He stopped writing for a couple of seconds but did not move nor look at her. And instead he continued writing, showing little interest in what she was saying. Hearing investigator, Arthur almost was brought back to his previous life, nearly. But remembered he wasn't that person anymore. Flipping through the next page of text, Arthur continued his studying and writing. <br>

Victorique was not amused. The fucker was outright ignoring her, not even bothering to say 'no' properly. If he'd done the latter, perhaps she would've just buggered off, but now this was personal. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“You know, for someone with connections to thugs in the Underbelly, you're awfully eager to ignore anyone mentioning the topic. Do you have dirt you're worried about exposing or do you still have people you're covering for? Whatever it is, I'm not here for whatever mess you've made. I'm here for something much bigger; making sure we won't get a second Control War, now that the coliseum's bigwig champion croaked in mysterious circumstances. Considering the life you've picked up here, I doubt you'd like to be dragged into such a thing either, but I imagine you'd be in hot water if the Underbelly starts acting up too much, which they're bound to do sooner rather than later, as the royals will want to cleanse anyone with ties to the underside from any public institute, Academy included.”</b></span></div>

Arthur listened carefully as this woman talked. What was her name again...? Victorique? Upon hearing her accusations of him having something to hide, he did give a little smile and snicker, now just toying with her, he could care less about what she thought he was hiding, which was nothing besides having a couple of contacts in the Underbelly. His smile then died when he heard of the Underbelly's champion being found dead. He stopped his writing immediately and slowly raised his head to look at this woman, but only for them to be a child. He raised a brow looking her up and down but then sat up straight. Closing his book calmly and putting his pen down. He then crossed his arms as his dead and tired eyes looked at her. He then let an arm out to the chair across from him.<br>
<br>
His cold eyes watched Victorique as she sat down. Arthur looked grumpy, rude and like he wanted to kill her. After a couple moments of silence, Arthur finally spoke. " <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)"><b>I'm not afraid of you thinking you can expose me for, nor do I care covering for people from down there. Say what you want. But what has piqued my interest is that you say the Champion, Auregnog, is dead. You realize this spells trouble not only for the Underbelly but for Ryken as well. Mainly for the Underbelly.</b> </span>" Arthur spoke with confidence, he knew much of the Underbelly regardless of being there for less than a day, he has met many a people there and has created connections with them down there. Arthur then leaned forward looking at Victorique with his same serious expression, " <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)"><b>But hearing that I am known in the Adventurer's Guild for delving into such a cesspool of degeneracy and crime, doesn't look good on me. </b></span>" Arthur was known to be a [Thug] when it came to crime, despite not really doing much crime besides killing an innocent but has been forgiven for it. He was even known for his tendencies for violence as well [Ruffian.] " <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">So let me point out, despite knowing all you do about me. You still had the balls to come here to talk to me. </span></b>" Arthur looked like he was ready to flip the table. But instead, he cracked barely a smile. " <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)"><b>Impressive. Especially coming from a hackshaw. You would think one such as you to come around someone like me would scare you off. Granted, when you have no one to protect and we are in here alone. </b></span>" Arthur shook his head. "<b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)"> Not that I would, of course. Just a little scare for you. </span></b>" Although it sounded difficult to tell if he was serious or not.<br>
<br>
Arthur got serious again, his eyes began to have some strange warp to them. Arthur looked distracted for a moment then sat back closing his eyes. Opening them, they were normal again. " <span style="color: #f37934"><b>So, what do you want, Ms. Sopheana?</b></span> " Arthur finally asked. What Victorique didn't know is that he saw those faces again... The ones he had taken from this world and the previous, their blood on his hands. Suddenly having a change in his attitude.<br>

<br>
As it would be predicted, there was chaos, people began fighting one another, gang guards had to get involved, wearing knight like armor stained black and red, like it was crudely painted over. They began beating anyone they saw, it was getting insane, but it was understandable as to why these people were acting like this, Auregnog was an idol to these people, the bastion of defense for the Underbelly. Roaring of fighting and yelling filled the Underbelly.<br>
<br>
Once outside, Dayle and his crew would talk to the Red Star contact, as they spoke, they would see guards running pass them wearing black and red stained armor, wielding thick wooden weapons, steel maces and shields, these were the Blooded Guard, The Bloody Defiance's personal guard, probably the scariest gang in the Underbelly as they had the most money, the most advanced technology, and the most respect, being Auregnog's sword and shield. Weapons that wouldn't necessarily kill but if it came to that they made weapons that would easily kill a man. Eventually after the incoming guards, a petite female knight wearing good knight amor would be walking up, her armor had red and black engravings on it, she wielded a large shield and a sharp sword. She was Auregnog's second; Lykra, the Red Stained. Lykra's hair was stained red from all her battles, she saw the Red Stars and steered her way over to them. " <b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">Red Stars...</span></b> " Her voice full of malice, " <b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">What is happening, seeing you lot here on our turf spells trouble. You know Auregnog does not care for other gangs coming here to indulge in the festivities.</span></b> " Her voice was elegant. "<b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"> Now we have a riot and now you lot standing here looking guilty. Speak now before I cut you all down and deliver your heads to Auregnog's dogs.</span></b> " It seemed that she was unaware of the situation, she seemed like she was under a lot of duress and stress. <br>
<br>
Her head would turn to Dayle and his little posse, " <b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">The Red Star's little bitch. </span></b>" Yes, she meant like a female dog. "<b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"> You were down here not that long ago, causing havoc with those other rats. Creating more chaos than needed. </span></b>" Her head turned to Zeke and the new blood Roy, " <b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">The bitch's little bitches. One has seen battle; the other is nothing much but a little pup starving for blood.</span></b> " She chuckled an evil one. Turning her head to the informant. " <b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">And I do not know you, but your clothes tell me you're a bigger dog than these whelps. Doesn't mean I still can't skin you when you're on our turf.</span></b> " She threatened them, and the Red Stars couldn't do anything about it since they were on Blooded Guard Territory, while allowed to tread on the grounds for the Coliseum, Aruegnog only allowed for that, but it was rather strange that most of the Blooded Guard wasn't already here. Could have been due to the events that have happened not even a couple days ago with the Gang War. <br>

She finally got the dude's attention at the mention of the deceased champion, getting him to gesture towards a nearby chair. She didn't like the way he looked, but she figured that even if she sat down, she'd still be able to get away quickly enough if things were to go down the wrong way, so she did so. Between sounding tough and stating the obvious, his first impression wasn't a good one. For a second it looked like he was going to pick a fight, but a combination of perception and insight made her think it was a bluff. She turned out to be correct. <br>
<br>
She wasn't sure what he was on about with the hackshaw, whatever that was, or whether he was threatening her or teasing her, but she did have her reply ready. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“If you were to be stupid enough to try attacking me in the Ryken Academy after doing whatever you did to get in here, I'd immediately have known I'd come to wrong person. I try not to work with idiots, with perhaps one exception... Anyhow, I'm not a fool. I know going into the Underbelly blind is likely going to be a death sentence, so if I want to investigate in peace, I'm going to need an insider. That's where you come in. You seem connected enough to know your way around, but low profile enough not to stand out too much. Considering you're in a library rather than a bar or brothel, I'm also assuming you're trying to get your life back on the rails and don't stand to gain from the Underbelly being on a path to self-destruction and taking the rest of Ryken along with it.”</b></span> She paused for a moment, really wishing to light up her pipe. That said, the library was probably not the place for it. Instead, she just happened to watch Arthur space out for a while, which was a bit creepy, just like pretty much everything else about him, for that matter, be it his eyes or arm or general attitude. At least he didn't give off clear vibes of wanting to cause her any direct harm.<br>
<br>
With all that said, it was time to discuss business. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Get me into the Underbelly and into the crime scene so that I can do my investigation and help me sort this out. Whether you want some good credit with the Adventurer's Guild, some monetary compensation or some credit with the Underbelly for avenging their champion or whether you just want to avoid a second Controls War, I'm sure you'll find your reasons to help out.”</b></span></div>

The informant and Dayle took their time to exchange info, and with the situation around them, they stuck out like sore thumbs. Sure enough, one of the guards that looked like a knight took notice of them and spoke to them. Zeke and Roy were initially passive, but their eyes contracted when the knight's words began hurling insults towards Dayle. They would not care about their own reputation, but to spit on their boss' name is an unforgivable sin in their eyes.<br>
<br>
They were ready to go at it with the knight, but Dayle stopped them with his hand. He then looked at the woman, his eyes still as water despite the insults. Although those words ignited flames of rage inside him, Dayle wasn't so stupid to attack someone clearly superior to him. Besides, this was not their territory. The only thing he could do was endure and diffuse the situation. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Knock it off, will you?" </span>In his own little way. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"You guys don't have the time to spare with us right now. As far as I can tell, four guys are the least of your problems."</span> He glanced at the informant beside him, and he only smiled in silence. Dayle snorted before looking back at the knight. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Keep your priorities straight. Your champion's gone, and even we are being affected by it. It won't be just the Red Star snooping around soon, and it's not our best interest to be tied to a clusterfuck."</span> He said as he crossed his arms.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">"With that said,"</span> the informant spoke <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">"Rest assured our business is not one aimed at anyone's throat."</span> He took off his hat and pressed it against his chest. <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">"As despicable as we are, we have enough tact to respect the Blooded Guard."</span> he reassured without breaking his smile, showing impeccable high class etiquette. It was discordant to the scenery of the Underbelly.<br>

Arthur listened to Victorique go on about how he wouldn't dare attack her, and she was right, he wouldn't have actually attacked her. But she didn't realize how easy it was to hide a body. Arthur sighed sitting back in his chair now looking bored as he looked away at the library, a sign of disrespect. "<span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)"><b> Bar or Brothel? Please.</b> </span>" Arthur looked at Victorique, " <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)"><b>I've had my fair share of that before, good times and all, but those times are long pass for me.</b></span> " Arthur explained, " <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)"><b>This is more important than some booze or call girl, studying is practice, and knowledge is power. More than people realize.</b> </span>" Arthur stared his books, leaning forward placing a hand on his chin, his eyes looked up at Ms. Sopheana when she got to the business. She wanted him to get her into the Underbelly and find out what happened, Arthur just stared at her with a look of speculation.<br>
<br>
Arthur sighed and sat up straight, "<b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)"> I didn't think I would be insulted like that. </span></b>" He crossed his arms staring at Victorique with a look of disappointment. " <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">Some meaningless credit with your Adventurer's Guild, money or credit is not what I want either. No, what I want is information, Victorique. An investigator like you should have much of it. For now.</span></b> " Arthur sat up, leaving his studies where they were at. "<b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)"> Let's get going. </span></b>" Arthur sighed, he was wearing a long black trench coat over his regular attire. He was already heading out without Victorique, not even letting her talk or explain. It was time to head back down to the Underbelly.<br>

Victorique sighed. Even as an investigator, she thought the 'knowledge is power' quote was way too overused. Perhaps not in this world? Either way, as a novelist, she made sure to avoid such phrases in her previous life and realised just how awkward they sounded when Arthur tried being smart with it. Well, she wasn't sure what she heard it from, but she knew the reply to that one. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Power is power. Knowledge just lets us gain it or learn how to use it.”</b></span> Whether she had heard it in some series or read it somewhere, she'd forgotten, but if he wanted to play this game, so would she. <br>
<br>
The fact that he called himself 'insulted' annoyed her. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“If you're already feeling insulted by the fact I'm stating the venues through which you can gain to benefit, you should prepare to have your feelings hurt a lot.”</b></span> She didn't like this guy, that much was clear. <br>
<br>
That said, it seemed like he was exactly what she needed to get into the Underbelly, so she followed him in silence. Besides, his type was still heavily preferable over the slimy bastard types and his attempts to be cool and edgy actually had made him a fair bit less scary than his appearance had made him out to be at first. It also helped that she wouldn't feel guilty if she'd ever have to run and leave him behind, so for that matter, being on barely 'okay' terms was the ideal situation for her. <br>
<br>
That said, she did keep in mind to keep a bit of distance and to check her surroundings well. Now that they were going to less than savoury places, she needed to ensure she'd be able to make a run for it if the guy would suddenly change his mind and get any wild ideas. She also wouldn't put it past him to 'test' her through some odd manner, so either way, she was on guard.</div>

Dayle's expression hardened after hearing the knight's surprise. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"What did we do?"</span> he said <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"That's what we should be asking <i>you</i>! Aren't you guys supposed to be the first to know?"</span> there was clear confusion, and even the informant was baffled by this. One would think that Auregnog's close guards would be the first to take notice of his absence, yet people <i>other</i> than the Blooded Guard got ahold of the information. What was going on? Dayle held his hand up in mock defeat. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Great. Even the Blooded Guard is unaware of the entire situation."</span> Dayle held the bridge of his nose while his people were on guard against the knight.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">"Unfortunate, dear knight, but do you truly not know what happened in there?"</span> The informant asked, pointing his hand at the colosseum. <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">"Auregnog did not appear, and we all know that his eagerness for battle is a fire that keeps on burning. This was his furnace, and the blood spilled in this place are his fuel."</span> Dayle looked at the informant with a complicated gaze, but he paid no mind to him. <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">"Yet his presence was not known, and worse yet, the announcer was not informed of such event. Hence, the chaos that unfolded." </span>He paused, letting loose screams from the colosseum to echo out for the others to hear.<span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)"> "Truly inexplicable."</span> The informant held his chin and looked away to ponder.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"In any case, we're just as confused. That guy ain't someone that would pass up an opportunity to let loose. That's the whole reason why he founded Bloody Defiance in the first place."</span> He said. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Besides, I haven't met the guy. The Red Star ain't big enough for such a..."</span> <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">"For such an honor to be had."</span> The informant continued. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Yeah, that. Lanky boy here was just here to inform me of something. Not like it's an uncommon occurrence around these parts. If we really did something, we wouldn't be stupid enough to stand around like a bunch of sitting ducks."</span><br>

<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1653840290046-png.989039/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/926/926169-fcf109f400f17486e59ed34d5493c1f7.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1653840290046.png" title="1653840290046.png" width="100" height="136" loading="lazy"></a><br>​</div>As they would make their way into the slums, the back end of Ryken, Arthur would check back to make sure that Victorique was still following or whatever she was doing. It wasn't like she couldn't walk with him, but it was better that she stays away from him, she was someone that Arthur couldn't stand. Eventually he would make contact with someone that came from the shadows, a skinny looking man that looked old and shriveled up, his eyes were wide and wild looking. The two of them spoke quietly before Arthur handed something off to the man from his trench coat pocket. The old man held a small brown bag and looked inside, he grinned widely and closed it nodding to Arthur who looked rather uncaring. The old man waved his hand to Arthur and Victorique as he would lead them to a manhole in the middle of the street. If Victorique was perceptive enough, she would notice that people were watching them from the houses around them, not necessarily for bad intentions, but for protection of their home. Whether that was the Slums they were in or the Underbelly. <br>
<br>
Arthur watched the old man knock on the manhole in a specific way, in a pattern. The manhole opened after a couple moments, two men came out wielding crossbows, pointing them at both the old man and Arthur, seeing who it was they lowered their weapons and hopped out, looking over the area, they were masked men wearing black clothing. Arthur turned to where Victorique was at and waved her over as Arthur headed down the manhole. When Victorique reached the manhole, one of the men pointed their crossbow at her then lowered it, " <b>A child? What the hell is this? </b>" The other ended up hitting the one that spoke, " <b>Dumbass, she is a halfling. And by the looks of it, she is with Arthur. Keep your mouth shut before you end up like Setzen, talking too much shit. </b>" The other quieted down and looked at Victorique. "<b> You best get down there, Arthur can be rather impatient when it comes to the Underbelly. Welcome, you're a part of the Divees gang as long as you're with Arthur.</b> " The other spoke. <br>
<div style="text-align: center"><br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1653892893225-png.989298/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/926/926428-3c1ea540756af14923aa187c77410586.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1653892893225.png" title="1653892893225.png" width="178" height="100" loading="lazy"></a><br>​</div>When Victorique made her way down the ladder of the manhole, at the bottom she would see Arthur talking to another dark clothed man, "<b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)"> Underbelly is still in cleanup?</span></b> " Arthur asked, the other nodded, " <b>Yes. The Blooded Guard was doing most of the cleanup, which is weird. Unless Auregnog commanded it, he does care for his people as much as he would kill his fellow man. Which could explain how he was assassinated, his guard could have been sent out to help which let him either defenseless or low in numbers. But hardly know anymore than what we saw. We only heard of Auregnog being <i>'missing,'</i> but that could only mean he is dead.</b> " Arthur nodded taking this information, " <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">The streets still covered in blood and have bodies?</span></b> " Arthur continued his questioning. The man nodded, "<b> There's a lot of blood and a lot of bodies have been cleaned up but there is still streets full. This could cause a plague in the future. It's weird all this is happening to the Underbelly. Most small gangs are dead due to a Gang War. Now Auregnog is dead or missing. Something is going on, Arthur. Be careful.</b> " He moved out of the way for Arthur and Victorique to walk pass. There was many of these black clothed, masked men. Known as the Divees Gang.<br>
<br>
Arthur looked back at Victorique and moved his head, pointing to their way into the Underbelly. Arthur began walking down the long sewer ways, disgusting waters that had a couple of bloated and decaying bodies in the water. Victorique would best stay close to Arthur now, now that they were about to enter a whole new world of criminality, debauchery, and death. A city of crime and freedom. Of chaos. As they made their way through the sewers, they would come across an opening in the wall at the end of a hallway, looking out they would see the large city known only as<b> The Underbelly.</b> Arthur sighed, sounding unhappy being here again, it was too much like home for him. Something he wish he didn't have to come back to. <br>

Lykra growled deeply, pushing Dayle back with one arm, she was strong, " <b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">We were busy cleaning up your mess! The mess you were involved with! It is so much worst than you realize, while you sit on your ass in there, watching the fights! You Overcity Dwellers know not of the damage you have caused nor do you care.</span></b> " She roared at him, pointing a bloody finger at him, " <b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">The mess our Champion wanted cleaned up! The only man to care for everyone as a whole!</span></b> " Lykra growled, she wanted badly to take Dayle's head and feed it to her two headed dog. "<span style="color: #b8312f"><b> I should kill the lot of you! But there are bigger things to be held. If i find out you had ANYTHING to do with Auregnog missing, I'll personally hunt you down and make sure to kill you! Your friends! Your loved ones! And your Red Star gang! I will disassemble everything your pathetic lives revolves around!</b></span> " Lykra sounded worried and scared. Angry and rageful. But her words were truthful, if the Blooded Guard were to be called anything; bloodthirsty, vengeful and compassionate would be the right words. Lykra quickly then ran off as she made her way to the Bloody Defiance, pushing any of her guards out of her way as she made her way into the arena. <br>

But it was strange that Auregnog would send most of his guard if not almost all his people to go help clean up the streets of the Underbelly. <br>

Victorique followed silently, yet alert. They were clearly being watched, as Arthur seemed to pay off some dude to let them into the Underbelly. Going into a manhole was far from 'fun' to her, but apparently it was the way to go, so she did so. She ignored the dude that was calling her a child, although it was tough. She had the desire to cuss him out for being an idiot, but his partner was already doing so, which helped. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Divees gang, huh, how fun.”</b></span> She muttered, as she nodded to the two and followed Arthur. So that's how things worked here. Pay off a gang to be 'part' of them and get access to the Underbelly.<br>
<br>
There was one thing that Victorique immediately caught up on. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Wait, so no body has been found?”</b></span> That was some very, very interesting information. She was already forming some possible conclusion based on it. She went through them mentally, as they moved towards the Underbelly. She tried her best to ignore the scents in this place while at it. The sewer with a hint of bloated bodies really didn't do well on her stomach. Nearly made her throw up whatever was in it. Good thing she'd eaten a light breakfast this morning. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Bigger than I thought...”</b></span> She mumbled, upon witnessing the Underbelly. This was indeed a small city, not just some punk's hideout. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“If the body is missing, it changes some things. For one, we'll have to figure out if there was anyone that Auregnog was close to; close enough to 'go missing' for the sake of saving them. Did he have a wife or kids or some secret lovers?”</b></span> She was straight to business, as she didn't want to waste time here.</div>

Dayle looked on to the knight's strangely impassioned words, hearing what she had to say with a straight face. She wasn't wrong to hurl such barks at him, but the Underbelly wasn't his home. Why should he care for a place he barely had any connection with? She was right, but Dayle already knew that. He couldn't blame the knight for defending her home, but she was all too eager to put the blame on anyone as long as they are involved. He was a little aggrieved at the accusation, and although he <i>was</i> involved with the matter, it couldn't be helped in his perspective. The knight was also extreme with her promises, but they were hollow words of a desperate person in Dayle's ears. To curse someone else for their own misfortune was something he have heard so many times before. But to do so in consideration of others? The amount of them could be counted by his fingers. To think there was someone who cares so much in a lawless place, it truly surprised Dayle. What wasn't surprising though, was the foolishness of someone blinded by ideals. There was only pity in his mind as the knight finally blew off much of her steam.<br>
<br>
His two goons were already at their limit trying to restrain themselves, and when the knight finally called it off for now, Dayle held their shoulders as all of them watched the knight power her way to the colosseum. <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">"Quite the meeting, wasn't it?"</span> The informant smugly asked. Dayle was still tense when he looked back at the informant. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"...I ask that you go easy on me, sir. Talking in the wide open-"</span> <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">"Was a great idea."</span> The informant smiled. <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">"Although there weren't solid leads, we were at least able to discern the Blooded Guard's disposition."</span> He nodded his head, and began walking away. Dayle worriedly look at the informant's back <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Sir-"</span> <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">"You will be not punished for showing disrespect to the hierarchy, Dayle."</span> He said in passing as he took off his hat. <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">"Really, calling me a 'lanky boy'."</span> He muttered with a helpless smile. He turned around to look at Dayle <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">"Mr. Loren is benevolent, after all. Small transgressions are beneath him."</span> He waved his hand and disappeared into the alleyways.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Fuck, thinking about ranks is making me frustrated."</span> Dayle said underneath his breath as he ruffled his hair in annoyance. Ever since he was forcefully integrated into Red Star, he had to always keep ranks in mind when dealing with their own. This syndicate is especially strict about its hierarchy, and a show of defiance is grounds for punishment, no matter how small. This allowed it to breed loyalty within the syndicate, but the relationships with the people within it were terrible. It was still a small wonder why it hasn't been fragmented with how domineering the upper echelons could be, but Dayle could not complain. He was a special case, and he's lucky enough to be under someone that would not cut off his ear for uttering a statement against his superior. He sighed, and shook those thoughts out of his mind for now. There were other things he had to do.<br>
<br>
For now, he would try to fulfill Red Star's request, which was to find out the entire situation revolving around The Bloody Defiance himself. If he could wrap it up, then he must. There wasn't much information to begin with, but the fact that such a request was given to him meant that its importance was high. Dayle wasn't sure how he needs to go about it, but he already had an inkling of an idea regarding the matter. Thinking about the situation during the last few days, the Blooded Guard helping with the cleanup never really crossed his mind. They were knights for the Underbelly, and this much should be a no brainer for anyone. However, they were still Auregnog's group. They've always kept to themselves in and around the Bloody Defiance, and are only to be sent out on special occasions. But it was strange. Remembering earlier, the amount of guards in the colosseum was strangely low for how big it was. If the Blooded Guard had higher numbers, the pandemonium inside wouldn't have escalated so quickly, or perhaps it would've been culled easily. This meant that the majority of the Blooded Guard was out, but that shouldn't have been the case.<br>
<br>
This was all conjecture on Dayle's part, and could not confirm anything yet. Although he already knew the disposition of the Blooded Guard, especially that knight just earlier, he did not personally know Auregnog. He might have reasons to send out so much of the Blooded Guard, but it was still strange for a man's personal army to be away from him. Dayle could only ponder at the thought, before looking at his two subordinates. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Zeke, Roy, It looks like it'll be busy again."</span> Zeke clumsily straightened up and saluted to his forehead. <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">"I hear and I follow, boss!"</span> Roy held his right chest and bowed slightly towards Dayle. <span style="color: rgb(209, 72, 65)">"I am at your command, sir."</span> Dayle nodded, and took the first step to this whole thing. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"The Red Star didn't give us even a crumb of information. Looks like we'll have to find it ourselves."</span> Zeke and Roy followed as Dayle walked, unwittingly moving towards the direction of Arthur and Victorique.<br>

Arthur overlooked the city with a sigh, " <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">I doubt it. I think he meant that no one has seen the body, these people speak a different lingo than you're probably used to.</span></b> " As they overlooked the city there was a breeze that passed through the hole they were looking out of, causing his cost to flap in the wind. Arthur looked down at the way down, a ladder to a slope that you were able to walk down, from there they would reach the main city that would lead to <i>The Bloody Defiance</i>, a arena named after the champion himself. Almost like a mockery to the Overcity that was Ryken, and a symbol of hope to the people of this chaotic city. <br>
<br>
As they walked through the Underbelly, Arthur had his arm ready to summon any weaponry to use against their foes. And to protect Victorique. Seeing that there was hardly anyone around showed Arthur that the gang war either killed so many or they were hiding. Walking, a powerful stench of burning flesh would hit the two, Arthur knew this smell well, already preparing for what was coming. As the two came around a corner another a road where he and others were fighting at previously would show Arthur that the war was way worst than he realized, on a large road would be bodies upon bodies lit aflame with guards standing around them, making sure to throw more bodies onto the hills of burning bodies. This flame was different, not the orange they were used to, but this was red fire, it looked like the waves of the fire was bubbly and whipping more furiously than usual.<br>
<br>
Arthur didn't say anything as he watched the horrific scene before him. He didn't look phased but underneath he couldn't believe so many were really this dead, all along the road there would be more and more hills of bodies. Arthur looked at the ground for a moment and let out a sigh, then he saw the concrete ground, it was red, stained with red. Stained with blood. Arthur could see the blood go up the roads all around him, there was puddles of it in other places. This could cause a plague for the future. Arthur looked to Victorique then away. " <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">We need to find another way. </span></b>" Arthur cleared his throat sounding a bit choked up. He moved along to a new route, as they walked he would see Dayle coming, Arthur stopped as the light of the flame was on his face, showing his cold exterior. " <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">Red Stars... Should have known you would be here. What are you doing here, Dayle? </span></b>" Arthur knew of the Red Stars, knew Dayle. Didn't know his cronies but it looked like they were coming from where <i>The Bloody Defiance </i>was at. <br>

Victorique was confused. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“That Divees guy quite specifically said the champion is dead or missing, so wouldn't it be a bit too pre-emptive to assume he's killed? Besides, even if he is killed, the fact that his body is missing might indicate he was lured away by something first. From what I've gathered, he's not the type to come peacefully if someone tries kidnapping him and he doesn't seem to type to just croak either, so wouldn't the likeliest option be for him to have been lured away?”</b></span><br>
<br>
For as far as first impressions went, the Underbelly outdid itself. The scenery was far from pleasant. Heightened sight and good perception didn't help there, as it only helped her spot more details of this gruesome scene. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Why do so many people stay here if corpses are piling up like this?”</b></span> She didn't understand the appeal of a city like this in the slightest. She noticed the 'funeral' pyres as well. At least it was better than leaving bodies to float in the sewers. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“What's the appeal of a place like this to people like Auregnog?”</b></span> She had her suspicions, but she wanted to hear it from someone else as well. The more she understood the champion, the more easily it might be to figure out what could've happened to him. She always wanted distraction from the ongoing scene, as it was making her stomach act up.<br>
<br>
Victorique had absolutely no idea who the 'Red Stars' were or who this Dayle was, so she decided to stay silent for now and leave the talking to Arthur. She would, however, use her [Ultimate Detective] to get a grasp on this man and his compatriots. From the tone of his voice to the subtle movements he made in body-language, she was trying to get a full reading on what seemed to be the 'boss' in particular. <br>

<span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">"Ey! It's that one arm guy!"</span> Zeke exclaimed as he pointed at Arthur. Dayle raised his eyebrow at the new company, his hands within his pockets. His posture was confident, and it seemed like he was someone who was not so easily dealt with when it comes to force. He seemed to be not hiding anything, and was directing his full self at the two. His two men behind him were distinct from each other, but both wore the same red and black schemed uniform worn by the Red Star Syndicate. One man wore outfit in a slovenly manner, while the other had his attire properly buttoned and worn. The former had a build that was close to Dayle's, and had the same ruggedness from the shape of his face down to the scars that show on his body. The latter, on the other hand, had a more lean build and he seemed to have the impression of someone elegant, and his face could be considered that of like a fox. However, all of them seemed to be very alert, as Dayle was focused on the two, the others were probing the surroundings for any threats.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Business, Arthur."</span> He said. The guy never really told him his name, but the Red Star gave him info on the guy. After all, he was also involved in the incident, along with the others. There was a bit of bad blood between Dayle and Arthur, but he wasn't petty enough to hold on to it. It was not like he tried to stab him or ate one of his men. The look he gave at Arthur was noticeably complicated, but his clear eyes showed that there was no malicious intent towards the two.<br>
<br>
He looked at the girl beside him and gave a confused look. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"And you brought with you someone."</span> He crossed his arms, and looked like he was pondering something. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Looks like you two are going to the colosseum, but I don't think you'd want to go there right now."</span> He advised. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Shit's hit the fan there, riot and all that stuff."</span> Then he remembered something else. Arthur was a student of the overworld's Ryken Academy, so what was he doing here again? There could be only one thing. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Don't tell me, you're here because of Auregnog?"</span> The scale of the problem could rival the incident from a few days ago, and Arthur was also involved in the last one. According to the information he was given, he was a volunteer when the academy's orb was stolen. But why was he involved this time? As far as he knew, the academy had no relation to Auregnog whatsoever. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"But then, you're from up top. So Why?"</span><br>

Arthur's eyes didn't leave Dayle, although his ghostly arm was ready if he attempted anything, although he doubt that Dayle would, but it mattered not, Arthur was a very wary man. Paranoid even. But he did say he would protect Victorique, even if they had their differences. " <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">Yeah, I did bring someone. More like I'm guiding them and making sure people don't harm her.</span></b> " Arthur explained, although the next part didn't surprise him. " <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">I'm aware. I've been told about Auregnog, the riots is something I'm unaware of though. That will complicate things but it could work in our favor. </span></b>" Arthur whispered the last part to Victorique as he looked over at her for a moment then back. " <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">What I'm doing here is my business. Not yours.</span></b> " Arthur replied harshly. <br>
<br>
" <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">But from what I see, you're coming from the coliseum's direction. I could ask you the same thing. I could also say your Red Stars could have done something as well, you could easily be involved with Auregnog's demise or disappearance. We won't know until we reach the coliseum.</span></b> " Arthur explained. " <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">The Red Star's Bastard Dog needs to go back to his masters. But let me ask you, why are you here.</span></b> " Arthur asked, expecting to not get a answer but he wanted to taunt the Red Star's dirty worker, maybe he would wake up finally.<br>

Annoyed, irritated, frustrated and a little tired of this already, Victorique realised Arthur was a worthless insider when it came to information. He could get her in, sure, but he wasn't helping her with any insider information, as he straight-up ignored her questions. The fact that he was pretty much claiming to be her baby-sitter didn't sit well with her either, but at least it sounded like he felt responsible for her safety. That was a nice extra. <br>
<br>
Riots? Victorique had some thoughts on how to exploit those. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Chaos makes it easier to get into places.”</b></span> She nodded, figuring that was probably also what Arthur was thinking. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“We should figure out who stands to gain from...”</b></span> She suddenly realised something mayor mid-sentence. Who stood to gain from riots and chaos? Of course, only one group. The overworld, the royalty! <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Do you think someone from above is steering towards a second Controls War?”</b></span> She asked herself, knowing Arthur probably wouldn't answer anyhow. <br>
<br>
That all said, was a little surprised when Arthur seemed to taunt Dayle. Was that the game they were playing? Well, she could play that one as well. She might as well give Arthur some back-up there. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“He seems way too straightforward to know more about it than we do. I'm assuming he's just a low ranking goon of this Red Start group?” </b></span> She asked Arthur, without being particularly subtle or silent about it.</div>

The insult towards Dayle caused his two men to sharpen their gaze at Arthur, but Dayle pacified them with a raise of his hand. Dayle snorted at the question. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"The same thing's what everyone's been doing; wonder what the fuck's going on."</span> He answered a tad derisively. <span style="color: #b8312f">"Arthur, both you and I know our merry band don't have the power to pull off that kind of stunt. Only an idiot would try to that shit while everybody else are watching."</span> Dayle took a stride and sat atop one of the boxes laying around like a delinquent.<br>
<br>
After hearing the girl's question, Dayle laughed. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Girl, I can see that you're not from here. One advice from me, don't spout shit that can get you killed."</span> He then looked at Arthur. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"But I guess with him around, you have a certain protection to keep talking like that."</span> He wasn't particularly insulted, as he dislikes Red Star as much as many others. In fact, he was happy if anyone talk shit about the syndicate, as long as they weren't anywhere near other members of it of course.<br>
<br>
Dayle sighed and finally cut to the chase. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Let me be straight with you guys. I needed information, and although I could've marched to his quarters, I doubt the Blooded Guard would let anyone in. Those guys can be fanatical if they want to be."</span> Roy worriedly looked at Dayle as he muttered.<span style="color: rgb(235, 107, 86)"> "Sir..."</span> Dayle looked at his subordinate and shrugged, before looking back at the two. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Seeing that you're curious about what's going on, how about we team up?"</span> He grinned and leaned over. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"From what I can see, we are effectively here for the same reason. I can be your guide in the Underbelly, and if needed, I can pull some strings from Red Star."</span> Dayle held his hand out as he continued. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"All I ask is that I also get the same info as both of you. If you have a way in, then you'll also have to bring me with you."</span><br>

Arthur was ignoring Victorique's questions until she mentioned something about someone else above in the overcity that was Ryken possibly trying to start a second Control War, it made sense to him, the one thing that stopped the Royal Family from pushing the law into the Underbelly was Auregnog, The Bloody Defiance. It made a connection to that the underbelly had a large battle between gangs to try and cull them, he never did find out who was the one who ordered the job. His digging left to nothing but a dead end, talking to Clover also did not help, she said the one she heard the job from ended up disappearing. It was a conspiracy, but it was a sound one. He was positive it was true, but he needed more evidence, and hopefully they could find it if they find out more about Auregnog's death. " <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">You may be right.</span></b> " Arthur said lowly, " <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">But we will need more than just words, we will need some compelling evidence. But I am inclined to believe it.</span></b> " Arthur nodded, he looked at Victorique with an impressed look but then it disappeared when she asked about Dayle, " <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">No, Dayle here is a not a low-ranking member, he is the Red Star's personal worker. He is known as the Red Star's Bastard Dog. He is pretty good at leading a group and working as a team with his people. But alone, he wouldn't be as strong as he is currently.</span></b> " Arthur told Victorique, "<b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)"> Like a pack of dogs. </span></b>" Arthur stated calmly. <br>
<br>
Arthur listened to Dayle's next request of teaming up, Arthur understood the benefits of it, he gets information that the Red Stars have, and that information could be of benefit later on. Especially with his plans for the future. The downsides are that Red Star isn't very well looked upon, so him being seen with Dayle, the Red Star's Bastard Dog, could be a bad look for him and could dampen his reputation. But the information was better than how Arthur would look, he had reputation back in his old life, he was a killer, good at it and reveled in it. But he was also seen as someone who brought death where he followed so people tend to stay away from him except for a few people of course. Arthur looked at Victorique then back to Dayle, he knew that Dayle would be an asset, especially if they teamed up. And they could be a pretty be a pretty powerful team, Arthur was nothing but violence incarnate as it was all he knew. But he also knew the art of making a deal. He's had to many a time. Slowly Arthur walked up towards Dayle, his face unchanged from his usual cold demeanor, stopping a couple feet away from the Red Star gang member, his eyes looked at Dayle's men, he could tell they were very loyal to Dayle. Loyalty... He knew the feeling. He once was loyal to someone and betrayed them then in returned was betrayed by those he trusted. <br>
<br>
Arthur yearned for that once again, he yearned for the ignorance of bliss that they had installed within them. That he once had beforehand. it felt like a long time that Arthur looked at them when in actuality it was only for a moment or two, his amber eyes moved to Dayle, their fearless leader. Much like the Don Arthur once served for, that he was groomed to kill for. But Dayle was different, different from that man, that beast that killed Arthur. The one armed man looked into Dayle's eyes for a few moments before he spoke, "<b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)"> It's a deal then, Dayle. I'll expect your crew here to not go off the deep end, they're loyal. Stupid but they're loyal. They are your bullets, and you are their gun.</span></b> " Arthur cared not if Dayle got the reference or not, it was mainly for his own sake that he knew what Arthur once was, it was for himself than Dayle and his crew. He would then turn to Victorique, " <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">Let's go.</span></b> " <br>

Victorique had growing issues trying to take this Dayle person seriously. The way he sat alone, atop some boxes, looked like he was utterly desperate to look cool. Like an edgy teenager in the body of a grown man. If it wasn't for the fact that he was probably capable of killing her with ease the moment he'd catch her, she'd have laughed at it. That said, his answer did provoke her a little. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Saying stuff that can end up getting me killed seems like a droplet in an ocean. I've seen more corpses in my short walk through this place than I've seen in the rest of my life combined. I'm pretty sure just being here comes with such a high chance of getting killed that there's little I can say or do to make it considerably worse. Or are you saying there's a rule against killing halfling women unless they're speaking up too rudely?”</b></span><br>
<br>
She also frowned at Dayle's suggestion. Arthur was quick to agree to it, but Victorique herself was a fair bit more sceptical. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“You just admitted the Red Star is too small to do much against this Blood Guard, so if you'd be our guide, what would you do to to help out?”</b></span> She wasn't yet seeing how this would be mutually beneficial. Not yet at least. Just having some extra eyes didn't seem to weight up against the chance of bringing aboard a back-stabber and Arthur didn't seem to be on the most favourable terms with this dude either. She wasn't sure why he was agreeing so easily. To that extend, she wasn't sure why Arthur was berating her after having taunted the guy himself first. Did he think she was too small to taunt guys? Fine. If it was that way, so be it. <br>
<br>
That said, if this Dayle wanted to be on board, he'd best make himself useful immediately. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Why don't you explain, in detail, how you learned about Auregnog's  disappearance? The way it sounds to me, it's been planned to have the most impact possible, by having he public find it out at the height of some events going on in the coliseum that everyone would be watching. It's tailored to cause the most chaos and to be impossible to hide by the Blood Guard. Ah, on that note, do you know how much the latter knows about what happened? I think I heard they were his personal guards, so it's a bit odd if none of them know anything. Perhaps one of them is in on it or perhaps they were tricked.”</b></span><br>
<br>
She continued her thought process aloud. It was loud enough for the others to hear, but also silent enough to be clear that it was more of a train of thought than an actual conversation with them. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“If we're going by our previous assumption that starting a second Controls War is the end-goal, the first three major check-points have been met. The champion is gone, the Underbelly is severely weakened by infighting and the Blood Guard sounds to be too out of the loop to keep up. However, we're not seeing the royal army march in just yet. They might think that the situation will get even worse on its own, or they've got even more in store to weaken the Underbelly before moving in for the final strike against them. The latter would mean we'll have to figure out what they're plotting before they can pull those final strings. However, it'd also mean that they still have something or someone working here, which gives us something to investigate...”</b></span><br>
<br>
She was thinking. Where would a good place to start be at? She looked at Dayle and Arthur. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Is there any chance we can speak to someone from this Blood Guard? I'm assuming at least a few of them would care enough to figure out their boss' fate enough to speak with outsiders, or is that a wrong assumption?”</b></span> She really wished to ask them some questions, but wasn't sure how likely that'd be. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Not only would it be great to inspect the scene from which the champion vanished, I'd also like to see if I can figure out whether or not they might be involved with the Royals somehow.”</b></span><br>
<br>
She finally realised that she'd been following Arthur after he said 'let's go', but had no clue where they were going. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“So... are we going to the coliseum now or..?”</b></span></div>

Arthur was still throwing insults at Dayle, souring the moods of his men, but Dayle calmly looked at Arthur as he spoke. <i><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">The fuck is a bullet and a gun?</span></i> It was his thought about Arthur's final lines, but nevertheless grinned wider as he accepted the deal. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"It's a deal then, Mr. Arthur."</span> He stood up and turned around to start leading the way, with his men walking beside him. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"And don't worry about my people here."</span> He reassured as he raised his hands. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"I trust them enough to be on 'Wake Up' duty."</span> The two slapped Dayle's hands in their own way. <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">"That's right boss."</span> Zeke affirmed. <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">"Loyalty is my greatest virtue."</span> Roy stated with conviction.<br>
<br>
As they walked, Dayle boisterously laughed at the girl as she prattled on. He turned his head and asked Arthur with a raise of his eyebrow. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Where'd you get this girl? There's so much words filled in this one that it's making my head ache."</span> He said, shaking his head in helplessness. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Red Star is not small, little girl, but rather it isn't that powerful compared to the Blooded Guard. There's a difference."</span> He explained. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"I can provide you info the top dogs in this place could provide, and unlike the both of you, I have the backing of an organization working in the Underbelly."</span> He shrugged. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Unless you pay, you're not going to find another guide like me."<br>
<br>
"And if it's about Auregnog, you already know where I got that from."</span> He replied to Victorique, tapping the Red Star's emblem on his back. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"The thing is, little girl, nobody knows squat, not even Auregnog's prided Blooded Guard!"</span> He explained easily, as if the information itself was public knowledge. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"The champion's disappearance is certainly a shocking news, but let me ask you this; his disappearance was recent. I myself didn't know about this until the shit that happened in the colosseum. With that in mind, how did you get a hold of the info before the reveal happened?"</span> Zeke turned his head as well to add on something. <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">"I ain't that smart, but even I can smell them conspiracy's brewin'."</span> He nodded to himself as if agreeing with his own statement. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"In any case, it's a food for thought."</span> Dayle spoke. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"You seem like a clever girl, more than me at least. Now that I gave you another angle, go on and say more conjectures."<br>
<br>
"Well, the colosseum's the first thing we should go to, so for that account..."</span> Dayle remembered that one knight that started spitting. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"...with how thing's are? I am not sure if the Blooded Guard would consider any visitors. I got chewed out when I was only there to see a spectacle. But then again, those bastards are always wary against other groups."</span> He looks at the two people behind him. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"But they're more hateful against overworlders like you two. And me."</span> He stopped just a bit of a fair distance from the colosseum and turned to look at the others. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"I don't know about you, but it seems very convenient that overworlders immediately came after their champion's disappearance."</span><br>

Arthur looked somewhat annoyed with Victorique's ramblings, he rolled his eyes with a sigh, Arthur was someone who was quick and to the point with his words, rather than spouting thoughts out loud and having everyone that was listening to them, hear her spout her bullshit, while he somewhat agreed that something may have been happening, it didn't mean she was being smart with talking and theorizing outloud. Arthur turned his head to Victorique, loud whispering to her. " <b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">Hey. Do us all a favor and shut your fucking mouth.</span></b> " Arthur had an angry look on his face, " <b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">You're going to get us all killed if you keep talking about conspiracies out loud like that. Look around you, we have people listening and you don't even realize it. It's the same just like up top, but here it's much worse than you realize.</span></b>  " After Arthur told Victorique to shut her loud pie hole, Arthur turned his head back to Dayle who called him <i>Mr. Arthur.</i> " <b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">Arthur will do just fine, Dayle.</span></b> " Arthur said with a huff venting his frustration with Victorique, his head looked to his men when they agreed with Dayle about being loyal. Arthur's eyebrows perked up at the mention his eyes drooped a bit while having the slightest smirk, showing either skepticism or disbelief. " <b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">...Right. Anyways. This investigator came to me back up top at the academy. She knew of something happening down here. She asked for my help with guiding her since what happened only a few days ago is still fresh on people's minds.</span></b> " Arthur looked to the side like he was staring at someone next to him, in Arthur's eyes, he was staring at a woman he killed in his previous life, one he had a relationship with.<br>
<br>
But quickly Arthur turned back to the Red Stars when Dayle acted like his group was big down here, Arthur shook his head, "<b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"> Please, Dayle, let's not try to exaggerate the Red Star's presence here any bigger than it is- wait, what do you mean the Blooded Guard doesn't know anything either.</span></b> " Arthur asked, he then quietly began to contemplate on the information, after a moment Arthur huffed as he turned back to Victorique, " <b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">Maybe your theory is right.</span></b> " That was his apology. She wouldn't get anything else other than that. " <b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">Dayle, take us to the Arena, we need to figure out what is happening, and fast.</span></b> " Arthur crossed his arms still sounding montone and cold.<br>

While they were working to culling the anger of the crowd, they were beginning to make ground by nonlethally taking down rioters. With their champion gone, this crowd didn't know what to really do, it was a mix of anger, worry and fear. Where was Auregnog?<br>
<br>
" <b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">Damn it you fools! Cull your anger!</span></b> " The voice of Lykra rang out as she was using her fists and beating rioters left and right, she had a arm on her as she was able to knock a man down to size. The Blooded Guard was with her, helping their second in command push these angry patrons back.<br>

Warriors and fighters were lingering about, talking about what was happening, " <b>I never would have thought Auregnog disappearing would cause this. A full on riot in his own home.</b> " A half-dressed gladiator spoke, another was shaking his head with crossed arms, a fighting with chainmail on. "<b> Believe me, this is very strange, they say Aurgenog has been around for almost two hundred years, and he now disappears? Has fought in over one thousand fights and now decides to disappear after the Gang's War? Something is up, I tell you.</b> " This same sentiment was shared among the fighters of this pit, more and more warriors, soldiers, and fighters alike were saying similar things. All except one. A goblin in the corner, sitting on a box while he sharpened his Khopesh. Xix, or Goblo that was the nickname he was given from those out there, seemed more flustered and angrier than concerned about Auregnog's disappearance. " <b>What is a goblin to do to earn some sort of respect?</b> " The goblin pondered outloud, his eyes looked up as he saw the figure of a large orc woman wandering about. Xix then would gain an idea. "<b> Oi, brawn and muscle, come ere, I got a idea to help cull this crowd.</b> " Xix called, beckoning her with his blade, continuing to sharpen it.<br>

<br>
Orchid knew things weren't going to be easy, but she didn't expect this sort of shit show. After wandering around the verse, doing odd jobs and guard duty, she thought she had a real good gig with this gladiator thing. The pay was pretty much x10 what she gets on an escort job. Granted it was not your typical blood sport: people fight to the death here. It made Orchid wonder just how rough this neighborhood was that they could consistently kill off skilled fighters every day, but then again this world was full of violence, where even your regular Joe has to know how to hold their own. And when one sees what sort of money you can rake in even as a newbie, it doesn't surprise Orchid too much if there's a lot of folks willing to risk life and limb for that filthy lucre.<br>
<br>
Though there were also plenty of times that Orchid thought this was too good to be true even after it's made abundantly clear of the dangers. Money was good sure, and rising up into ranks means even more cash. But it's not unusual for rando's to end up fighting warriors well above their skill level. It made Orchid wonder if she's just been recruited as a can: someone who looks tough and might even be able to take a hit, but ultimately just gets recruited to inflate the win-records of an established fighter. While Orchid has no interest in being someone's jobber, she also recognizes that she's not nearly as strong as a lot of the folks she's seen around the Blood Defiance. Many of them have been fighting for longer than she's been alive and she can tell. Yet they still get matched up against nobodies that no one has heard before, and while occasionally there might be an upset, usually what happens is that those vets toy with their prey for the crowd and go in for a flashy kill without breaking a sweat. Orchid wonders if that was going to be her fate.<br>
<br>
And then all hell broke lose. Goblo was suppose to fight the Champion, Auregnog, who unlike most vets doesn't go can crushing and actually needs to fight worthy opponents. Orchid herself was interested in actually seeing the champion in a fight since she's heard a lot about the guy but has never seen him. But for some reason he didn't show up like he was suppose to. No one expected that to happen. The guy wasn't just the arena champion, he was an important figure to the Underbelly. May as well have been the mayor given his influence. But the fact he's a no show and no one has any idea what's happening put the Underbelly in a state of chaos, more so than usually. A lot of fanatics jumping to conclusion and baying for blood, or ambitious gangsters thinking that with the champion gone this is a good time to settle some scores. Orchid herself needed to get out from the crowd and head back to the fighter chambers and try to figure out what's going on. If nothing else, she needs to escape this riot before she gets trampled under foot.<br>
<br>
It wasn't easy pushing through a whole crowd of people. Even for someone as big as Orchid, she wasn't able to push hundreds of people at once. It doesn't help that there was fighting going on too so people trying to stay out of it was pushing even more people back, causing a chain reaction of people pushing and shoving their way around like a violent ocean wave. Fortunately Orchid knew a way around these people since she could take a service door for arena fighters. Some people tried to follow her through but she closed the door right behind her, maybe crushing some fingers along the way. Accidentally of course. The service entrance was much clearer, though it was still very loud. She could hear shouting up ahead.<br>
<br>
The fighter chambers were just as rowdy as the riots outside though surprisingly enough no one has tried to kill anyone yet. Maybe because fighting in these chambers is explicitly against the rules on ban of exile and death, or maybe because the first one to try and make an attack will just get swarmed by a bunch of well armed and skilled warriors. Either way things were tense here. A lot of gladiators were throwing accusations about what had just happened. Auregnog is a well respected man in the Underbelly and rightfully feared in the arena. But you don't gain that sort of clout without making plenty of enemies too. It wouldn't surprised Orchid if he got taken out by someone who doesn't like how he runs things, because of some history in the past, or plain old jealousy. Perhaps Auregnog had some debts and someone decided that he was going to pay it now. And of course, there's still the possibility that one of the Gladiators knocked off Auregnog simply to make rising to become the Champion easier. <br>
<br>
Regardless, Orchid doubt she'd be seeing much action any time soon. As fun as it'll be to join in the rioting, the Underbelly isn't exactly a treasure trove for looting, and the only things worth getting will have to be plundered off armed and ready warriors, which is the exact oppisite of an easy mark one would hope to attack during the chaos. Orchid grabbed her gear, donning her armor and weapon, figuring it was time to go before she gets swept up in the conspiracy. Though she had half a mind to investigate this matter herself: If Auregnog was dead, he no doubt has some fine loot with him. If nothing else the information about his fate would fetch a fine penny. But as orchid finished gearing up, donning her helmet, a certain goblin called out to her.<br>
<br>
Xix, or Goblo as he's been called. Not the most creative of nicknames, but then again most people assume her name is "Ork Kid", and she hasn't really bothered to correct them about it. Either way, Xix was one of the many arena hopefuls thinking they had a crack at the champion. Orchid herself didn't throw her lot with him: Xix's gimmick relies on being faster than the enemy and letting them wear themselves down. Fine for most bruisers and thugs that make up the lower echelon of the arena's fodder, but Orchid has seen how the vets fight. In a one-versus-one, patience beats speed. Still Xix wasn't a coward, so Orchid went over to see what he wanted. Apparently he intends to "cull the crowd", and that immediately put Orchid on guard. <span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">"Depends how much I get out of this. With Auregnog basically dead, doubt there'll be any more fights for me to earn coin off of. Unless you mean something off the books. Then there best be <i>a lot</i> of coin for my troubles." </span>Never do what you love for free, Orchid believes.</div>

<br>
Orchid knew things weren't going to be easy, but she didn't expect this sort of shit show. After wandering around the verse, doing odd jobs and guard duty, she thought she had a real good gig with this gladiator thing. The pay was pretty much x10 what she gets on an escort job. Granted it was not your typical blood sport: people fight to the death here. It made Orchid wonder just how rough this neighborhood was that they could consistently kill off skilled fighters every day, but then again this world was full of violence, where even your regular Joe has to know how to hold their own. And when one sees what sort of money you can rake in even as a newbie, it doesn't surprise Orchid too much if there's a lot of folks willing to risk life and limb for that filthy lucre.<br>
<br>
Though there were also plenty of times that Orchid thought this was too good to be true even after it's made abundantly clear of the dangers. Money was good sure, and rising up into ranks means even more cash. But it's not unusual for rando's to end up fighting warriors well above their skill level. It made Orchid wonder if she's just been recruited as a can: someone who looks tough and might even be able to take a hit, but ultimately just gets recruited to inflate the win-records of an established fighter. While Orchid has no interest in being someone's jobber, she also recognizes that she's not nearly as strong as a lot of the folks she's seen around the Blood Defiance. Many of them have been fighting for longer than she's been alive and she can tell. Yet they still get matched up against nobodies that no one has heard before, and while occasionally there might be an upset, usually what happens is that those vets toy with their prey for the crowd and go in for a flashy kill without breaking a sweat. Orchid wonders if that was going to be her fate.<br>
<br>
And then all hell broke lose. Goblo was suppose to fight the Champion, Auregnog, who unlike most vets doesn't go can crushing and actually needs to fight worthy opponents. Orchid herself was interested in actually seeing the champion in a fight since she's heard a lot about the guy but has never seen him. But for some reason he didn't show up like he was suppose to. No one expected that to happen. The guy wasn't just the arena champion, he was an important figure to the Underbelly. May as well have been the mayor given his influence. But the fact he's a no show and no one has any idea what's happening put the Underbelly in a state of chaos, more so than usually. A lot of fanatics jumping to conclusion and baying for blood, or ambitious gangsters thinking that with the champion gone this is a good time to settle some scores. Orchid herself needed to get out from the crowd and head back to the fighter chambers and try to figure out what's going on. If nothing else, she needs to escape this riot before she gets trampled under foot.<br>
<br>
It wasn't easy pushing through a whole crowd of people. Even for someone as big as Orchid, she wasn't able to push hundreds of people at once. It doesn't help that there was fighting going on too so people trying to stay out of it was pushing even more people back, causing a chain reaction of people pushing and shoving their way around like a violent ocean wave. Fortunately Orchid knew a way around these people since she could take a service door for arena fighters. Some people tried to follow her through but she closed the door right behind her, maybe crushing some fingers along the way. Accidentally of course. The service entrance was much clearer, though it was still very loud. She could hear shouting up ahead.<br>
<br>
The fighter chambers were just as rowdy as the riots outside though surprisingly enough no one has tried to kill anyone yet. Maybe because fighting in these chambers is explicitly against the rules on ban of exile and death, or maybe because the first one to try and make an attack will just get swarmed by a bunch of well armed and skilled warriors. Either way things were tense here. A lot of gladiators were throwing accusations about what had just happened. Auregnog is a well respected man in the Underbelly and rightfully feared in the arena. But you don't gain that sort of clout without making plenty of enemies too. It wouldn't surprised Orchid if he got taken out by someone who doesn't like how he runs things, because of some history in the past, or plain old jealousy. Perhaps Auregnog had some debts and someone decided that he was going to pay it now. And of course, there's still the possibility that one of the Gladiators knocked off Auregnog simply to make rising to become the Champion easier.<br>
<br>
Regardless, Orchid doubt she'd be seeing much action any time soon. As fun as it'll be to join in the rioting, the Underbelly isn't exactly a treasure trove for looting, and the only things worth getting will have to be plundered off armed and ready warriors, which is the exact oppisite of an easy mark one would hope to attack during the chaos. Orchid grabbed her gear, donning her armor and weapon, figuring it was time to go before she gets swept up in the conspiracy. Though she had half a mind to investigate this matter herself: If Auregnog was dead, he no doubt has some fine loot with him. If nothing else the information about his fate would fetch a fine penny. But as orchid finished gearing up, donning her helmet, a certain goblin called out to her.<br>
<br>
Xix, or Goblo as he's been called. Not the most creative of nicknames, but then again most people assume her name is "Ork Kid", and she hasn't really bothered to correct them about it. Either way, Xix was one of the many arena hopefuls thinking they had a crack at the champion. Orchid herself didn't throw her lot with him: Xix's gimmick relies on being faster than the enemy and letting them wear themselves down. Fine for most bruisers and thugs that make up the lower echelon of the arena's fodder, but Orchid has seen how the vets fight. In a one-versus-one, patience beats speed. Still Xix wasn't a coward, so Orchid went over to see what he wanted. Apparently he intends to "cull the crowd", and that immediately put Orchid on guard. <span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">"Depends how much I get out of this. With Auregnog basically dead, doubt there'll be any more fights for me to earn coin off of. Unless you mean something off the books. Then there best be <i>a lot</i> of coin for my troubles." </span>Never do what you love for free, Orchid believes.

Xix scoffed looking up at Orchid like she was stupid, he actually stopped the sharpening of his blade and placed it down on the crate next to him as he hopped off and landed on the ground. He placed his hands on his hips, while Xix was tiny, he was definitely mighty. " <b>How much? Please.</b> " Xix shook his head, " <b>How much is your life worth to you?</b> " Xix asked, picking up his Khopesh from the crate, he then sheathed it on a sheath that was attached to his armor on his back. " <b>You getting money out of this is depending on how much you got.</b> " Goblo explained, he then waved his hand to the two warriors that were talking. " <b>Hey! Dingus and Bingus, get over here! </b>" Xix called, the warriors turned their heads and began walking over to the two. "<b> I have a plan that can get this crowd from tearing the foundations of this place down. So follow my lead</b>. " Xix winked at her as the two warriors came over. " <b><i>What'd you say, Goblin?</i> </b>" One of them asked in a heavy voice. These two warriors looked capable of a fight, their armor was miniscule and light while they wielded sword and shield. <br>
<br>
" <b>You heard me, Bingus- </b>" The warrior cut him off, "<i> <b>It's Bingoo-</b></i> " Xix waved his hand, " <b>Whatever, Bingus. We have a plan to fight to calm the anger of the crowd. If we give them a good fight, they'll want to watch instead of fight.</b> " Xix explained, the other warrior, who was called Dingus by Xix scoffed. " <i><b>BAH! Fight? Please, you two aren't worthy of such a thing. You little Goblo will probably be killed upon leaving since you were suppose to fight the champion. And you, orc, you're just a new arrival fighting for petty change. You aren't worthy fighting for actual money.</b></i> " This Dingus shook his head before walking away with Bingus. Xix gently elbowed Orchid's leg, then pointed to the two warriors as if telling her to say something. " <b>You'll get money you fool! These are high warriors, we can beat them. If we kill them in a fight, we'll get a good payout.</b> " Xix whispered to Orchid, " <b>Now get them to fight us.</b> " <br>

Underneath her helmet, Orchid rolled her eyes. Xix has no way of ensuring Orchid's payment for this little scheme and he knows it. With things going on, no one is going to pay them to fight, and Xix probably just wants to shed some blood since he couldn't fight the champion. Ordinarily Orchid would ignore him and move on, however he ended up getting two more people involved and they decided to throw some barbs at her too. Orchid knew that she should be above such petty insults, but then again if she doesn't answer now, it'll only drag her already nonexistent rep through the mud. No doubt another one of Xix's schemes to make sure Orchid gets involved whether she wants to or not. Still, there was some merit into getting involved in this.<br>
<br>
As it stands, Orchid was a nobody. She hasn't even gotten a chance to match up against other new bloods, so she's untested. People are restless and want their hero. What Xix proposed was... Not foolproof, but it could at least serve as a distraction. And if nothing else, people who <i>don't</i> want to mull on the loss of Auregnog could focus on Xix, the potential new champion, and subsequently Orchid, the new rising star. Orchid didn't know much about Bingus and Dingus beyond the fact that have fought here before, so they have the experience. But that in itself could work in Orchid's favor if she beats them. It shows that she's strong enough to contend with some bloodied warriors of the arena. So as much as she hates gambling on the hopes that this unsanctioned battle will get her any sort of fame or fortune, it's either this or get nothing at all. And no way was Orchid going to walk out of this place empty handed.<br>
<br>
Cracking her neck she looked at the two warriors. <span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">"I get that you're scared of Goblo considering that he's already defeated four men stronger than the both of you combined, but I don't understand your fear against me. Here I thought you would be leap at a chance at fighting a woman like me. But suppose since I'm not a strapping young boy, barely old enough to grow his own chin hairs, I don't catch your eyes. But fret not gentlemen, you'll find than I'm more than man enough for the both of you combined."</span> Along with vague accusations of pederasty, Orchid casually flexes her muscles underneath her armor making the large woman look even bigger as the plates of her suit bulge, almost as if she could flex out from her suit. She was going to apply her Intimidation skill to show that she is, in fact, a worthy opponent against them. <span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">"If you really think you've earned your ranks, then square off against me and Goblo. Show them that you're worthy of being a champion and not some pit dog barking for scraps."</span></div>

Victorique glared at Arthur. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“You're out here trying to pick a fight with these Red Star guys and you're telling me that I'm endangering us, just because I'm doing my job of investigating it by running through what we know?”</b></span> She wasn't having it. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“If I'm not even allowed to do that, there's little point to any of this to begin with. We won't stumble upon the answers just by sneaking through this place. Besides, if the champion is dead, you can bet that there are people spouting way more ridiculous nonsense about it as we're speaking.”</b></span> She sighed. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“I'm already not exactly the loudest due to certain.. size constraints... but if you want, I can speak even more hushed, if that soothes your mind a little.”</b></span> That was the extend to which she was willing to compromise.<br>
<br>
However, what Dayle was telling them was a lot more interesting. She's ignored most of his words as barely relevant, other than some generic grandstanding about his usefulness, but one part stood out far more than the rest. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Wait, hold up a second. When did you learn he was missing?”</b></span> Recent was pretty non-descriptive, so they had to get their timelines straight. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“I learned about it about</b></span> [insert number of hours that Victorique would know but I don't] <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>hours ago from the Adventurer's Guild.”</b></span> She clicked her tongue. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“It would make sense for someone in the Blood Guard to try hiding it for as long as possible in the hopes of not causing a panic, but failing to do so when he was expected in the Coliseum itself, but if what you say is true and the Blood Guard didn't know about it and was caught unaware, you're right, we'll have ourselves quite the conspiracy.”</b></span><br>
<br>
That said, that logically brought up the next question. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“If they're involved, it'd be odd for them to sent me in to investigate, unless they're setting me up, but I'd rather not jump to that as my first conclusion.”</b></span> She pondered. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“It seems more logical to assume that the Adventurer's Guild was tipped off on what was going to happen and that someone hoped they'd send in folks to add to the chaos, rather than sending in me to merely investigate.”</b></span> <br>
<br>
As for Dayle's point about the Blood Guard likely going to suspect them, Victorique had an idea. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“That means we shouldn't tell them that we came here for that specific reason. We'll just tell them we're here because we heard rumours that something major was about to happen and that those rumours seemed to be more substantial than the average gossip. Then we can say that we only realised that it was about the champion's disappearance when we ran into you. That should make it a fair bit less convenient.”</b></span> She was already starting to like this Dayle. He was actually appreciating her ability to reason and make conjectures. Meanwhile, she doubted if Arthur even knew what a conjecture was. Dayle was being the real Watson here, although she did put more faith in Arthur when it boiled down to safe-keeping. <br>
<br>
As they were walking towards their destination, she realised she hadn't even introduced herself. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“I'm Victorique, by the way.”</b></span> She also turned to the other two (Zeke, Roy). <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“By the way, I don't think I've caught your names yet. If we're working together, it might be useful to have something to address you by.”</b></span><br>
<br>
Contrary to popular Arthurian folklore, Victorique wasn't just a ramble-machine. She did actually keep an eye on her surroundings, having a good set of senses to stay on alert for what was going on in her surroundings. [Danger Instinct] <br>

Dayle snorted as he watched the two's work relationship. It didn't seem good, but it wasn't bad enough to have it to be easily broken. He kept that in mind as he responded to Victorique. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Dayle."</span> He introduced himself as he started walking backwards. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"As already pointed out by the gentlemen over there."</span> he remarked while he pointed at Arthur. The other two were facing forwards as they walked, but turned their heads to introduce themselves.<span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)"> "Name's Zeke."</span> the sloppy guy said, glancing at the man near Victorique. <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">"...Roy."</span> the formal one spoke, glancing at the same person. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Don't worry about the eyes. This place is near Blooded Guard territory, no one would want to do shit."</span> He looked at the people around them glancing their way, and scoffed before turning around to walk forwards.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"And about that plan."</span> Dayle commented, sniffing a bit of air before continuing. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"I don't think that's going to fly when things are high strung. You're underestimating the Blooded Guard's hatred against overworlders."</span> However, Dayle shrugged and relented. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"But who knows? Maybe that'll work." </span>Dayle continued to be at the front as they all walked towards the colosseum. Until now, he could still hear the screams of chaos inside, but they have seemed to have become more controlled than before. What did that mean? It meant that the Blooded Guard have joined in on the fight and are beating everyone else to submission. As they arrived, he turned to look at the duo and pointed his thumb at the arena. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"This has been going on for a few minutes, 20 minutes tops. That's also how recent I found out about the champion's disappearance. That's pretty big stretch from a few hours."</span> He looked at the remaining guards that might've stayed to keep an eye on the outside as well. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"And there's Auregnog's children."</span> He then made a gesture as if welcoming the two to go first. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Well, after you."</span><br>

And I'm not looking for a fight, wouldn't be much of one anyways.</span></b> " Arthur obviously dug at her height of that being a child. It should have been known that Arthur wasn't below using such jokes, he followed alongside the group looking ahead of them at the large arena that was standing tall before them, sounds of yelling, screaming and fighting could be heard from the entrance, hell it could be heard a couple miles away from the arena, they were lucky a fire didn't start. Or an explosion going off. Or even the arena falling over on it's side. Coming up to the two guards that held spears and shields, they blocked the entrance with their spears, "<b> Halt! No one is allowed inside until the riot has been culled. That includes the Academy's flunkey. </b>" One of them was talking about Arthur who didn't say anything but had a look of his usual coldness, while Arthur always looked like he wanted to kill you. He was calm, Arthur knew they were taunts to get him to do something, just like Arthur does to people. A means of controlling a person. Something Arthur look into now.<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1655066110163-png.993042/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/930/930172-3e5e91aaf2f52acc828c71a865d52ea8.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1655066110163.png" title="1655066110163.png" width="100" height="149" loading="lazy"></a><br>​</div>" <b>Oi. No children allowed either.</b> " One of the guards pointed to Victorique, Arthur turned his head to the side and had a small smirk on his face before shutting it down looking back at the two guards, the other lightly tapped the other guard with his spear, " <b>Hey, dumb nuts, that's eh halfling. Get your damn eyes checked, stupid.</b> " The other grumbled. Now one thing that doesn't get by is disrespect, it makes one look bad if they take disrespect without doing anything. Especially if it happens in front of people. " <b>Wha did yoo sayah?</b> " The guard turned his head, " <b>You focking want to run that by me one more time, limp dick?</b> " He continued. The other guard laughed, " <b>Please, dumb nuts, don't act like you're anything strong, we see how yah look at Lykra in there, the only thing you'll have around your cock is your hand in soapy water, so why don't you shut your mouth and listen-</b> " Immediately the other guard dropped his weapons and tackled the other guard, the two beginning to fight it out as Arthur stood there watching with an unamused face. He looked up from the two fighting children in adult bodies and quietly walked on into the arena while the two rolled along the ground beating on one another, taking their helmets off to hit each other. "<b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)"> Children... </span></b>" Arthur scoffed under his breath as he made his way into the large arena, it was pretty bad within, there was people fighting everywhere, Blooded Guards taking on patrons of the arena. It was a total shit show. But then there would be a loud call across the arena, " <b><i>LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! WE HAVE A FIGHT BETWEEN TWO TEAMS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW!

" <b>What did you say?</b> " One of the twins stopped in his tracks, turning to face Orchid and Xix. The small, armored goblin smiled; he knew they got the fight, and it would be a good one. " <b>What did you focking say, bitch?</b> " the man stomped his way back up to Orchid, even though she towered over the man, his brother turned and tried to stop his angry brother. Before Orchid could do anything, she would feel hands on her chest and a sudden force push her back. Only moving a couple steps back the man was ready to rumble, " <b>Let's focking go! I'll tear your head off your shoulders and skull fuck you!</b> " he was held back by his brother who wanted to kill Orchid now, again, talking trash in the Underbelly and taking it was seen as weak. And looking weak and strong in a environment such as this was the difference between respect and disrespect. between life and death. Xix smirked, he took a step forward, " <b>So this means we have a fight then?</b> " He asked, the man still struggling to get out of his brothers grasp was growling. " <b>You're damn right you little green shit! I can't wait to tear your eyes out of your head! </b>" he roared at Orchid. He was finally dragged off by his brother and Xix turned to the tall Orchid, " <b>Nice job with that, I wasn't expecting a blow up like that but either way, nice job. </b>" Xix had both of his hands on his hips nodding at the tall orc. He then waved a hand, " <b>Come on, we have to next talk to someone that'll get everyone's attention.</b> " Xix explained as he walked off, as Orchid followed the goblin to a chain operated elevator where a hooded woman was holding a clipboard looking over it. " <b>Oi, Sticker.</b> " Xix said walking up to the man, the woman would jump turning to Xix and Orchid, her face was revealed and she was a siren. " <b>Oh. </b>" She calmed herself. <br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1655071985907-png.993071/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/930/930201-877932c5e656aa3791aa247481587b4c.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1655071985907.png" title="1655071985907.png" width="100" height="139" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
" <b>Xix, it's you. You scared me, I thought those rioters got in. </b>" She explained sounding worried, " <b>Rest easy, Sticks, I have a idea of how we can stop this riot. It may not work but I don't see anyone else coming up with any ideas. </b>" The goblin explained. " <b>We are going to see if a fight with the Twin Balth Brothers will cull this crowds bloodthirst if they watch us tear one another apart. </b>" The goblin explained, the Siren nodded with a smile, "<b> I see.</b> " Her strange eyes moved to Orchid, " <b>And you found yourself a very strong companion it seems. Amazing.</b> " She seemed very kind, it was almost weird in a place like the Underbelly. "<b> So, Xix, did you want to bet on yourself on winning? </b>" She asked, Xix laughed, " <b>Of course, baby. I might as well attempt to gain some sort of money out of this if this plan doesn't work.</b> " The goblin explained, looking at Orchid, Xix nodded his head to the Siren known as Sticker. " T<b>his is where you'll start making money, Bigums, only certain people know about this, Sticker here will make sure you get paid if you come back alive. Bet your money and come onto the elevator. Sticker here will do the rest. </b>" Xix made his way over to the elevator that lead to the arena and stood on it with his arms crossed while having a huge smile on his face. " <b>Just hand me however much you want to place on your side winning and join little Gobby over there.</b> " Sticker smiled, this was of course highly illegal, but this this was the Underbelly. There was also something happening between these two as well. When Orchid was done betting her money and getting ready, approaching the elevator and stepping onto it, there was four big men on both sides of the elevators, pulling the chains and moving the elevator up. Then an announcement would come ring through the arena.<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1655071018243-png.993064/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/930/930194-3f36462f4e46a27a5cdd830ec7f85d49.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1655071018243.png" title="1655071018243.png" width="100" height="125" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
" <b><i>LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! " </i></b>The announcement started. "<b><i> WE HAVE A FIGHT BETWEEN TWO TEAMS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW! THE TWO BALTH TWINS, BROTHERS BORN AND RAISED HERE IN THE UNDERBELLY! AND ON THE OTHER TEAM, WE HAVE XIX, GOBLO! AND WITH THE GOBLIN, A NEWER FACE WHO HAS HAD A COUPLE FIGHTS SO FAR! STRONG AND POWERFUL, ABLE TO BREAK A MAN INTO TWO, THE FEMALE ORC WARRIOR, ORCHID, THE NEW RISING STAR! </i></b><i>" </i>It was that Siren, Sticker, she was the announcer and bookie, or at least one of them. As the elevator rose, they would find themselves in a dark room, with two large doors closed. They would be able to see light from the other side through the outline of the doors. "<b> Get ready, Bigums, it'll be a fight for sure. These brothers are pretty good on their teamwork. Dingus isn't so much easy to anger so I'll take him. Bingus is though, you already pissed him off so he's yours. It'll break their formation and teamwork. Then it should be an even fight. They do carry multiple weapons so beware of that as well. </b>" Xix explained. Then the doors opened up and Xix made his way out into the light where they would see people were still fighting, a lot have calmed down though to watch the fight. " <b>it's somewhat working.</b> " Xix whispered, even though they couldn't really hear over the fighting and yelling. Ahead of them were the brothers coming out, wearing light armor and helmets, carrying very similar weapons, a spear, sword, shield, whip on the whip and dagger. " <b><i>Fight!</i></b> " Sticker called throughout the arena. Xix pulled out his khopesh and smirked, " <b>Good luck, Bigums. </b>" He moved to the side smirking at his opponent, " <b>Talk your shit, break their formation.</b> " <br>

Orchid's goading worked, getting one of the brothers to be pissed enough to accept her challenge. She was half-tempted to strike back when he pushed her, but she tempered her emotions. Even if she could kill him here, it wouldn't get her any money, and it'll just draw unwanted attention to her. And not the sort of attention she wants if she intends to be a somewhat legitimate gladiator. With the two brothers off to gear up for battles she looks down to Xix. She still doesn't trust the goblin but as long as she understood that she is merely being used by him she can cope with this temporary partnership. This isnt a geasture of friendship, just alliance of convinience.<br>
<br>
Soon after Xix leads Orchid to a Siren. Both women were surprised, as Orchid didn't know who this lady was. But apparently this is where gladiators will go to bet and win money. Orchid could see the obvious ethical issues of letting gladiators bet on battles they're going to participate in, but this place was no church, and the law here is kept only by the blade. If Orchid proves capable enough to get away with it, than she's earned her right to do this. And while Orchid didn't have much money, she decided to bet all of her coin regardless. If she wins, it'll be a huge payout. And if she loses, she's dead, so it's not like she needs it where she's going. Once Orchid got her receipt for her bet, she tucks it away underneath her armor and joins Xix at the elevator.<br>
<br>
Stoically Orchid would do one final check up on her gear. Her armor was strapped firmly, and her weapon oiled and sharpened. When she saw her opponents she could see they had some classic gladiator weapons. A sword and shield primarily, with a spear for longer ranges. The whip and dagger was a bit unusual, but she supposed that both are suitable for different ranges. The whip would largely be useless against her armor, but Orchid needed to be wary of how it could be used to tangle her limbs if she doesn't pay attention to one of the brothers. Beyond that, Orchid was confident she could beat at least one of them.<br>
<br>
Xix was going after Dingus, the calmer of the two. Bingus was going to be her opponent. Lightly armored meant light in their feet, so as long as Bingus doesn't do anything stupid he could easily out manuever Orchid. Orchid herself knew this, which was likely why Xix wants her to taunt Bingus. It was a sound strategy: Anger has a way of making people do stupid things, and if nothing else if Orchid can force Bingus's attention on her, that keeps him from working with his brother.<br>
<br>
As the fight began Orchid approached, moving away from Xix to force the brothers attention apart. She'll have to fight defensively at first, but that suits her just fine. As she approaches Bingus she makes a rather exaggerated look down at his loins, then shrugs in an almost apologetic way. <span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">"I know you said you were going to skullfuck me, but cripes, my clit has a bigger bulge. Are you sure you aren't Dingus' sister?"</span> Orchid had to fight the urge to giggle as she got into her fighting stance, ready to lash out violently as she lashes out verbally. If her gambit works, Bingus is going to settle matters with Orchid personally. She lowers her guard to bait him to try and attack her, and once he's in range she'll be able to retaliate before his blade could reach her. Even if he tries to attack with the whip, she was confident her poleaxe could match the reach and ensure her blow lands first.<br>
<br>
<b>Grade F Cooldown<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"> (0/0)</span></b><br>
<i>Interception</i> - Fighting Style Polearm (Brace) E - So long that Orchid is armed with a suitable polearm, she can immediately attack enemies who come within range of her weapon before they can act first. This lets her get the first strike to hit the opponent. Can only be used on opponents who are not within her melee reach: enemies already in melee are unable to be targeted by this ability until they leave her reach. - Grade E- 1 Post Cooldown<br>
<br>
<b>Grade E Cooldown <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">(0/1)</span></b><br>
<i>Trip Attack </i>- Fighting Style Polearm (Tangle) E - When Orchid successfully strikes an enemy with an attack, she can knock them to the ground and leave them vulnerable. Orchid can use this ability with any suitable polearm, such as throwing spears, lances, halberds, etc. - Grade E - 1 Post Cooldown</div>

Well, a conspiracy was all but confirmed when Dayle confirmed the time-line didn't match up. They'd learned about the champion's disappearance way later than she had. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“How big do you estimate the chance that one of the Blooded Guard was able to hide it for this long, even from the other Blooded Guards?”</b></span> She herself didn't think it likely, but it was an alternative hypothesis she wished to at least consider for a bit.<br>
<br>
Meanwhile, she snapped back at Arthur. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“The halflings look like children joke. I haven't heard that one a thousand times before. You should go to a comedy bar with it, I bet they'll laugh themselves to death over it.”</b></span> She already didn't expect him to be useful on an intellectual level, but now he was just outright hindering her.<br>
<br>
She was about to snap again when one of the guards called her a kid, but for some reason, his companion already did so for her. For a moment, she had to resist from asking the one that'd corrected on her behalf to knock the other's teeth out. Sadly enough, they had to use this moment to proceed onwards. Victorique had gladly watched them beat each-other up for a bit more, but that sadly enough wouldn't be an option.<br>
<br>
As they entered the arena, there was enough 'beating up' to be seen though. People were rioting left and right. Most dominantly present, however, were a few folks battling it out in the arena itself. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Are they trying to present an alternative to the battle against the champion?”</b></span> Victorique asked aloud, not to anyone in particular. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Hmmm... that might work.”</b></span> She looked over at Dayle and Arthur before continuing on a hushed tone. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Let's use the distraction they're offering to try sneaking into the champion's room. He must have some spot of his own in this arena, right? I bet I'll be able to find something there.”</b></span></div>

Dayle watched, grinning as the two dealt with the guards. However, his expression didn't last long as he was dumbfounded at the unexpected situation. He didn't expect the guards to start beating each other up, which was a weird thing considering their supposed de facto leader was more controlled than these people. For being guards, they lacked discipline. Disappointment welled in his heart as he shook his head. He only spared them a contemptuous glance before following the two inside.<br>
<br>
Inside the colosseum, Dayle couldn't help but whistle at the chaos happening around him.  His two men took both of his sides, deterring anyone from approaching him. One of the rioters got too close, and so was caught unaware when he was kicked back deeper into the fray. <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">"Filth..."</span> Roy muttered under his breath as if he had stepped on a turd. Dayle snickered at that, before turning his attention to the new announcement, and then to the people fighting at the center of the arena. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"They're still trying to continue on with the show?"</span> He took a glance at the arena, recognizing the goblin the had the honor of fighting the champion ripped away from him. <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">"Yikes, it's the goblin."</span> Zeke commented as he flicked his hand, wiping away the blood on his fist after punching away another straggler. <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">"You think this'll work, boss?"</span> He asked, with Dayle shrugging in response. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"I don't know. Can't really wrap my head around what those guys are thinking."</span> He said, scoffing. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"As for the both of you, the easiest way is jumping down and going in those gates. That'll surely take to wherever they holed up the gladiators."</span> He said in a quiet voice, pointing at the arena gates. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"But that's stupid, so instead you can go in that entrance over there."</span> He nodded at a far entrance. Every colosseum had an entrance towards the gladiator lobbies, but it was assumed that they would be more guarded than the arena gates. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"You guys better make it sneaky and fast. The Blooded Guards are slowly gaining control."</span> He warned, turning his head towards the number of guards holding the rioters back. <br>

Or there was some arguing going on and these fighters took it to the arena. </span></b>" Arthur turned his head when Victorique suggested they find the champion's room, Arthur was bumped by a couple of the fighting rioters, causing Arthur to stumble into Victorique, he growled and retaliated by grabbing one of them and punching them in their nose, causing blood to spray into the air, Arthur released the man then kicked him into the second man sending the two back into the crowd, letting out a huff of frustration, he looked to Victorique, " <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">Anywhere is better than here. </span></b>" He said in his usual cold tone. looking before them the chaos was slowly beginning to turn around. Arthur heard Dayle over the yelling and moved pass them, he could see through the crowd some Blooded Guards beginning to move their way towards them. " <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">Do you know where it is at then Dayle? </span></b><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255)">" Once Dayle explained of the arena doors, looking to where he was speaking of, he saw the arena doors, the entrances each team took. " </span><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)"><b>That's the best we got. Come on.</b></span><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255)"> " Arthur told the group, moving through the still raging crowd, he pushed his way down towards the front of the arena, punching anyone that stood in his way. Getting to the front of the crowd, looking to see how far the entrances were from where they were. Before Arthur suggested anything the echoed words rang out.</span><span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)"> "I know you said you were going to skullfuck me, but cripes, my clit has a bigger bulge. Are you sure you aren't Dingus' sister?" </span><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255)">Arthur's eyes widen a bit as he watched the fight start. He realized that this would be certainly capture the crowd's attention, he then looked at how far he was from the arena's ground, sighing, Arthur looked back at his companions before jumping over and falling down into the arena. Landing, Arthur stumbled backwards into the wall before he turned his head upwards backing up, " </span><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)"><b>Come on, little girl. You want into the Champion's quarters, follow through then.</b></span><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255)"> " He put his hands up like he would to a child, " </span><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)"><b>I'll catch you- Don't give me any attitude and hurry it up before we get snatched up by the guards.</b></span><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255)"> " Arthur called over the cheering. </span><br>
<br>
Xix stood straight up as he heard her voice ring out, it was amplified for all to hear, he knew who it was, it was that Siren, Sticker. Orchid's trash talk was heard all throughout the arena, causing most rioters to stop and turn, then the laughing began throughout the arena. Bingus growled at her words, ready to speak until he heard the laughing, he stopped moving and looked all around seeing that the rioters had stopped their fighting and turned their attention on him and Orchid. The insult to his manhood captured them. Bingus was steaming under his helmet as he was now the laughingstock. Dingus even stopped and to look over to his brother, who was shaking in rage. Dingus shook his head, " <b>Brother, don't. </b>" He tried to talk to his brother, but Bingus was already making his way towards Orchid, throwing his helmet off to get a better look at his foe, this large orc. Bingus roared a rageful one, if looks could kill, Orchid would have died over a thousand times, "<b> I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU!</b> " The man roared as the laughs continued, his reputation was now sullied thanks to this. Holding both sword and spear, he thrusted the spear forward at Orchid jumping into the air.<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1655347778198-png.994091/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/931/931221-b5eff9e1712a2e3e0ed9bd43445b94db.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1655347778198.png" title="1655347778198.png" width="100" height="139" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
Dingus sighed deeply, " <b>Fuck.</b> " He turned his attention to Xix who was prepared himself, the two began to clash, their weapons clanging as the fighting started, Xix was extremely agile, showing off his speed and strength as he was able to easily deflect attacks and parry others. Dingus wasn't a joke either, switching to other weapons through their fight, using the spear to push Xix back then use the whip to try and disarm Xix. Goblo was able to deflect the attacks with his khopesh, getting pushed back with range despite his speedy nature he was still being fought back by longer range weapons. But as the whip tried to disarm Xix once more, Xix caught the whip with his hand, despite wincing in pain from being whipped. Xix pulled the whip out of the hands of Dingus. The crowd cheered at this action as Xix tossed the whip away. He then moved forward towards the brother who was smiling under his helmet, he tossed his spear into the air then caught it, cocking his arm back and throwing it straight at Xix who easily rolled forward avoiding it, once on his feet he brought his weapon up to block the sword coming down at him, a loud clang filled the arena as Xix pushed him back creating space. The two squared off and circled around one another, Dingus having a sword and dagger in his hands as Xix had his only weapon in his hands.<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1655348921365-png.994099/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/931/931229-2cd60f3e9f449a325c60a43f805a9633.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1655348921365.png" title="1655348921365.png" width="100" height="148" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
As for Orchid, Bingus came at her with the rage of a madman, literally, his spear attack flowed fiercely through the air, his eyes wide with rage. Orchid's counterattack with her polearm would strike the brother, her spear stabbed through his shoulder but it was as if he wasn't fazed, his spear would strike her helmet, going for a quick kill but her helmet would save her as it was knocked off her head, Bingus stumbled backwards as he pulled the spear out, seeing her face only pissed the man off more, unable to feel pain the more angry he was. He charged at Orchid with his spear, sliding forward as he thrusted it forward, orchid would avoid this attack, using her polearm as a bat or stick since he was too close for her to strike him with the halberd's end without being attacked in retaliation. Using the polearm to instead hook and trip Bingus, the crowd cheered once he was on the ground. Bingus groaned hitting the ground, his eyes looked up at Orchid as she prepared to strike him next.<br>
<br>
Bingus quickly spun around and brought his sword out, blocking her next attack, he then used his whip from his other hand to swing and strike Orchid in her head, hitting her temple rather than face since she was closer now. This would cause the orc to back off as Bingus rolled away and got to his feet quickly, holding sword in one hand pointing it at Orchid with his whip in his other hand, smiling. The crowd roared, all of their attention on the fight now, the riot was successfully culled and now all that left was for the fight to finish up. "<b> How does that feel, bitch? I'll do worst to in front of everyone, your death will be a slow one and these people will love and revel in it! </b>" Bingus told the orc, despite her pretty face, Bingus wanted her dead more than anything right now.<br>

Orchid wasn't expecting her taunts to get broadcasted to the whole building. She didn't necessarily mind, as this means she doesn't need to waste her breath shouting her insults and getting everyone's attention. More importantly she successfully got Bingus' angry enough to remove himself from his brother and fight her one-on-one, giving Xix the perfect chance to duel Dingus and keep both of the brothers from being able to support each other. From there Orchid and Bingus clashed. She shruck his shoulder, the spike of her poleaxe going deep, but rage kept him going as his spear cut into Orchid's helmet, slicing off the straps and causing it to fall. She cursed quietly, bemoaning the fact that she was using second hand equipment. She needs to consider upgrading her armor when all is said and done. When he charged again she tripped him, knocking him to the ground. She was going to go for a quick kill, but Bingus wasn't done yet, blocking her blow and slashing her across the face with his whip.<br>
<br>
Blood flowed off her cheek but Orchid wasn't too bothered. The pain was exilurating. This really was getting her blood pumping, just like the first time she killed. And the second. And third.... In fact, she feels like this a lot whenever she's working. That thrill and ecstasy that makes her go mad. Without her helmet, Orchid flashed a lustful smile, fanning herself.<span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)"> "Not the most clever dirty talk I've heard, let's hope you're better fighting women then pleasing them."</span> On the bright side, with Bingus losing his shield he lost a lot of his defensive abilities as well. While his sword and whip gives him more avenues for attack, Orchid can now go on the offensive without worrying that he could stall her attacks. He'll have to go on the offensive now, whereas Orchid can still trust her armor to protect her while she charges in.<br>
<br>
Notably, Orchid very intentionally exposes her face as she goes to stab Bingus. She's banking on his rage making him do something predictable, like striking at her face, which means Orchid doesn't need to defend the rest of her body so much. Instead she can focus on dodging blows to her head while taking full advantage of her reach to close the distance and whittle Bingus down. With her helmet gone, Orchid's calm and cool demeanor begins to crack as her mad smirk showed that despite the dangers, she loves the violence and what is about to happen. <span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">"It's a shame we couldn't share a meal together. Put some meat on those bones. So soft, so tender. I'll make sure your death is clean, so that when I drag you back to my kitchen and bleed you out dry, you flesh and bone make a wonderful meal!"</span> Expecting Bingus to try and close the distance, Orchid really goes ham on her intimidation to throw him off his game. To incite panic in him so that he flees, or attacks even more recklessly and make him more susceptible to Orchid's counter attack.<br>
<br>
She goes running in with what looks like a thrust to the legs, but this is a feint. It's actually a set up so she can swing the hammer head of her poleaxe upwards, aiming to try and smash Bingus in the groin, chin, or his sword arm. All the while she describes what exactly she intends to do to him later, being mindful of his attacks but wanting to keep his attention on her face so she knows where he's going to aim his attacks. <span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">"I'll slice off your legs at the loins, debone them to make a roast and bake the femur for it's marrow. With love and care I'll extract your intestines and drain your blood to make black sausage. Mhmm... There might not be much in that thick skull of yours, but I'll mince your ears, your lips, and your brain into a fine pate that'll pair nicely with a buttery biscuit. Even though you'll die here, you'll keep me satisfied for at least a day."</span><br>

Victorique spent a fair bit of effort dodging left and right whilst Arthur, Dayle, Zeke and Roy were punching folks left and right. It was pretty clear she hated the idea of even bumping into one of them. She did have the speed and movement to keep up, luckily, combined with some senses and perception to stay alert. That said, it was getting pretty tiresome. The latter was why Arthur managed to nearly knock her over. Suppressing her desires to snarl at him like an enraged chihuahua, she instead scoffed. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Agreed.”</b></span> Anywhere was indeed better than this.<br>
<br>
Arthur apparently wanted to go straight for the fighter's entrance. That was going to make them stand out like an elephant in a chicken coop, but perhaps they'd get away with it before the blooded guard was fully in control..? She sure hoped so. However, she was NOT, definitely NOT, absolutely NOT, in no way in <s>Isekai</s> hell going to just jump into the dude's arms. Whatever weird fetish he had would be something he'd have to take to the grave or choke on. <br>
<br>
She quickly took in her environment. The walls weren't that high, but pretty vertical. The fighters were mostly stuck in the middle of the arena. The wall was jump-able, even by her short legs, if she were to bounce off from something first, she'd definitely make it. She could hear most of the fighting had calmed down by now... Within moments, she had decided on her route and method. That's when it was time to execute it. She hopped over the wall, but rather than jumping towards Arthur, she managed to stick to the wall in a gravity-defying manner, making her way across it in a diagonally downwards manner to get a bit closer towards the entrance they were aiming for.  <br>
<br>
Upon stepping down into the arena after a neat display of [Halfling Parkour] she smiled. Although she'd come across more as a child that was proud of their achievement, she felt pretty independent and proud of it regardless. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Well, let's go then.”</b></span> She'd say to Arthur, clearly feeling quite satisfied with herself. <br>
<br>
That look kinda vanished when she started to hear the Orc talk. You see, normally such talk wouldn't scare her, as it was just your average ruffian bluffing... but wit her level of insight (D) she realised there was a whole lot of genuineness to it. That green monster would really eat a guy. A shiver went down her spine. She'd best get out of the arena soon, before the Orc would spot her and decide she wanted an appetiser. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Let's hurry!”</b></span> She called out to Arthur, with the prideful tone gone and a decent amount of concern having replaced it.<br>
<br>
<b>B Grade Cooldowns</b> (<span style="color: red">0/4</span>)<br>

Dayle looked at the two as they jumped into the arena. He leaned over, giving a thumbs up. However, Dayle isn't going to follow them. Instead, he'll stay back for a while, intending to catch the flak of the Blooded Guards. As an assumed "suspect", Dayle was confident that he could at least take the attention of some of the red bastards. <i><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">What a coincidence, the two groups I hate are both red</span></i>. Dayle snickered to himself and leaned back at the railing, taking in the audience of the colosseum. The crowd's energy was now redirected to getting excited with the ongoing match, giving Dayle a better look at the place itself. He scanned for the Blooded Guard's current captain, a.k.a Lykra, and wanted to keep tabs of her position. As he did so, he took on a confident pose as he waved at the approaching Blooded Guards.<br>
<br>
Despite the Blooded Guard's superior position among the other underground organizations, they are currently not in the right state to create a commotion with a rival group. because of this, Dayle can leverage his status as a Red Star member to deter the guards from harming him. Even if the Underbelly was a lawless place, an unprovoked harm to a member of a rival group is bound to be a scandal that can be used against the only sort of 'law' in this place. More so if they did so in the assumption that the member was the suspect, even when there was no evidence backing up their claim. Dayle is currently "clean" from the crime, so he had a certain protection. As long as Dayle played his cards right, the Blooded Guards wouldn't be able to do anything to him.<br>
<br>
Of course, he wasn't so selfless that he would sacrifice himself for some strangers. He had another objective; to negotiate with Lykra. Even if the information he had gained so far was something he couldn't prove, the fact that it circulated even at the overworld remained true. The discrepancy of the timeline of the info he had was a great bonus, as now he had heavier ammo to use in negotiation. If there's anything believable to the red bastards, or even to Lykra herself, it would be the fact that the overworlders had something to do with the disappearance of Auregnog. He was going to use this information to grant himself a benefit; that is cementing the fact that he wasn't involved in the champion's disappearance, as well as turning the underbelly's most powerful organization's interest to the overworld instead.<br>

Swords clanged as a dagger wildly slashed through the air as Xix was being pushed back, even with his small stature and quick self, Dingus was keeping the fight at a fast pace and throwing overwhelming pressure on the goblin who was doing his best to keep up, block attacks and make sure he was watching his every move to look for an opening, eventually Xix found a opening, slashing quickly at the abdomen of Dingus who recoiled and backed up with a growl of pain. The crowd around them roared loudly at the scene. Dingus smirked at the surprise counter as he regained his composure and Xix was able to catch his breath. Xix twirled his khopesh as him and Dingus circled again, Dingus was getting closer to his whip again as Xix saw, quickly moving back as the dagger was thrown at Xix. This did catch the goblin off guard and had to think quickly, putting his hand close to his chest as it came like a speeding bullet, quickly grasping the handle as the blade barely stabbed through his armor. Xix's eyes widen for a moment and saw Dingus go for his whip again, Xix instinctively threw the dagger back at the human who was able to get his whip. As he stood up straight and turned to Xix, the dagger stabbed through his throat which made him stumble backwards. Dingus had a look of surprise on his face as he held the handle of the dagger, realizing his fate, dropping his sword he fell onto his knees then slumped over onto his side, a pool of blood forming around him, Xix exhaled deeply while the arena roared loudly at the sudden clean kill. Xix had a look of proudness on his face, looking at his kill and worthy opponent, Xix knew he would have lost if he was reckless against this human. His head then turned to Orchid and Bingus. He looked pass the two fighting contestants and saw a few people jump down from the arena side, he sighed deeply and shook his head, "<b> Oh what the fuck is happening now?</b> " He asked.<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><br>
<br>​</div>Bingus saw that his attack only exhilarated the orc, then the remaining brother remembered that was what he was fighting against, a damn orc. Bingus changed his stance up, into a more defensive one, his eyes still had rage in them as Orchid continued her attempts in taunting him, Bingus scoffed, " <b>Please, you wouldn't survive a night with me, I may be a angry brute, but I still know how to please a woman, I could even show a certain orc a thing or two.</b> " He was actually flirting with her now, Bingus still had anger on his face but he wouldn't be so easily taunted, he did wince in pain so maybe his anger was coming down adn he could now feel his wound which made him calm down. Seeing Orchid make the first move, intentionally exposing her face to try and bait a attack from Bingus, he knew this tactic, it was one he and his brother used in double battles with one being the decoy and the other being the counterer. Hearing her words of wanting to share a meal, Bingus smirked, " <b>It wouldn't be a meal, it would be a date, Orc. And you would be the main course. </b>" Bingus would gladly oblige as he then swung his whip over his head to create momentium and extended his arm out as he dragged the now flying whip around, looking to aim for Orchid's head, but not just her head, her eyes. While she did try to dodge the attack and continue her assault, the attack was able to get her now, the whip swiped her right eye, causing blood to gush, she would have to get it looked at after this fight if she survives.<br>
<br>
Bingus saw her attack coming and was able to use his sword to deflect her swing at his legs but realized too late it was a feint, his eyes widen as he saw her polearm rise up towards him, quickly thinking he jumped backwards to try and dodge the attack, the attack missed his groin by mere inches but instead cracked him in his chin. Bingus blacked out for a moment from the impact of the attack and was thrown backwards with the momentium of his backwards jump, the arena erupted in roaring and cheering. Hitting the ground and rolling, Bingus laid on the ground, his eyes opened for a moment seeing the incoming Orchid coming, he was too groggy to move and looked over to his brother's fight but saw that it had ended quickly. with Xix as the victor and his brother's corpse on display, his own dagger in his throat. With the rage of the sun, Bingus rose up to his feet with wide eyes, blood dripping from his mouth, he spat out blood onto the arena floors, showing a bloody grin towards Orchid, dropping his whip and pulling out his dagger from his hand, holding a sword and dagger. He was down to the last of his weapons, but this was now do or die. " <b>Come on you fucking bitch, as soon as I take your vision, I'll break your limbs and take you in front of this bloodthirsty and disgusting crowd for all to see, then I'll rip your throat out with my teeth. </b>" Bingus' eyes were bloodshot and cold. His grin was a very concernign one, this was a man who now had nothing, his reuptation was most likely tarnished due to Orchid's talk and now his brother dead, the only one he trusted and loved. Only thing he wanted to do was to hurt Orchid, take her innocence and reap her of her life. Bingus took steps forwards with his arms spread out as if he was now taunting Orchid to come and strike him in his exposed body.<br>

Arthur dropped his arms once he knew what Victorique was doing, he sighed quietly as he had a look of frustration on his usual cold face, he looked at the prideful halfling and his eye twitched, he was seething on the inside. This was probably one of the only times that he was attempting to be nice and be a team player and he got spat on. He did see that her look of pride turned to fear at the mention of the orc going to turn her opponent to food to chow on later, Arthur scoffed, " <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">Looks like all that bravado of yours is all gone when you're not even on the menu. </span></b>" Arthur walked pass her, giving her head a gentle pat as he headed for the arena entrance, he quickly looked back to see if Dayle was coming but saw he was not, Arthur growled and continued to move along, he turned his head to the fighting orc and human and stopped in his tracks seeing the orc. His eyes widen a bit at her beauty, her brutality and strength, her tactical movements. Arthur hasn't been this captivated since his old life, he had given up on love when he had to murder a woman he was sweet on with the gun he named her after. Staring at this orc, the visions and hallucinations of the dead disappeared. " <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">Whoa.</span></b> " Arthur whispered, he couldn't believe that he was finally able to see clearly.<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><i>Within the Stands</i></b><br>​</div>The Blooded Guard was making their way over to now Dayle, Zeke and Roy, with their lethal weapons out and ready to attack, they quickly pushed people out of the way and was able to surround the three in no time, weapons pointed at them, one of them scoffed, " <b>Looks like the Red Star's Bastard Dog came back to the fighting dog pits. Came to watch or partake in the fighting, you rat? </b>" One of them taunted, there was four of these guards, their armor were thick so Dayle's chains wouldn't affect them in the slightest, one of them stepped forward slamming the handle of their sword into the head of Zeke, knocking him onto the ground, "<b> How about you lot tell us why you're back before we throw you into the fighting pits?</b> " One of them demanded.</div>

She glared back at Arthur. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“You'd be careful around such folk too, if you were my size.”</b></span> There was nothing wrong with having a sense of self-preservation and she didn't like him suggesting otherwise. Now being in the arena itself, she didn't want to stay here as much as second longer, so she headed over directly to the entrance that Orchid and Xix had entered from. Upon looking around, she realised there wasn't really a mechanism that could get it to lower down easily. At least not one that she could identify as such. Perhaps there was one at the bottom? She could already see the edges were small enough to drop down through, after which she should be able to wall-run down. Upon finding out that much, she looked back to Arthur. She had expected him to follow her, but apparently he hadn't done so.<br>
<br>
In fact, Victorique could to see him standing there like a complete fool. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“What in the world are you doing? Get over here!”</b></span> She shouted, surprised and annoyed by his odd standstill in equal measures. In fact, she was even a tad bit concerned, so she rushed back over to make sure he hadn't been magicked into being unmoved-able or something. She may not like the guy, but she wasn't quite ready, willing or able to lose him here either.<br>
<br>
Upon reaching him, she couldn't spot anything wrong however. That said, as she followed his line of sight, she was met with the bloody battle between Orchid and Bingus. Was he really just..? Had she been concerned for this..? That made her upset. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Get your desire to watch blood and gore fulfilled another time, we've got a mission and we're not even supposed to be here, remember!?!”</b></span> She yelled. With the crowd going wild, she wasn't all that afraid of her voice being heard by anyone other than Arthur, who was relatively close to her.<br>
<br>
Hopefully having snapped him out of it, she quickly informed him of her plan. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“I'm not sure if we can get the lift to move from up-top, but it should be possible from down below. I can run down like I did with the arena and see if I can get it to lower from below, but you'll have to be waiting atop. I wouldn't like to run into anyone below the arena on my own.”</b></span> Without awaiting his reply, she made it back over to the lift and slipped through the 'gap' between it and the wall. She was s till a bit tired from getting down into the arena, so she couldn't do it with as much grace and speed as she'd wish too, but she was still more than capable of running down along these walls with [Halfling Parkour C]. <br>

The stinging pain Orchid felt on her face brought a mixture of agony and ecstasy. It sometimes frighten her how before, pain was something she avoided for the obvious issues of suffering, but now pain felt pleasant. It's like how before she loved hot baths and now she can only get that same feeling if she's being boiled alive. Regardless, Orchid's injury wasn't something she was immediately worried about and continued her assault. She managed to catch Bingus with a feint, though instead of a groin shot it struck his chin, which was just as good. With a few moments of peace after knocking him down Orchid reposition herself, noting that Xix had managed to defeat Dingus. She wiped away the blood over her eyes just as Bingus got up, drawing a dagger now and daring Orchid to attack him. Despite arguably being at his weakest and most exposed Orchid knew now that the cornered beast will fight the hardest now. Still Orchid needed to be aggressive, but that doesn't mean she was going to be predictable.<br>
<br>
Kicking up dust Orchid charged in with a mighty overhead swing. But she missed and by a long shot. That is, if actually hitting Bingus was the goal. No, Orchid didn't miss: she hit exactly where she wanted. Kicking up a massive cloud of dust and dirt to obscure Bingus's immediate vision he would only see the vague silhouette of Orchid, keeping a safe distance from him. What he might not see however was the spear that was thrown straight to his upper chest, aimed for the neck. Orchid had very intentionally manuevered herself to get closer to Bingus' spear and used a dust cloud to disguise the fact she picked it up and hurled it at him. She wasn't planning on letting Bingus get closer to her now, and with this effectively being a 2v1, Orchid can afford to play it much safer now. Not the flashiest or glorious way to fight but Orchid, ever the pragmatist, wasn't about to waste the opportunity for Xix to lend a hand. Plus she has no doubts the goblin wouldn't mind the record of killing two more gladiators under his belt.</div>

<span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">"Ah fuck!"</span> Zeke didn't see the head slam coming and nearly knelt to the ground, but Dayle deftly supported him before he could do so. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Calm down, you people. Showing aggression when we've done nothing so far is unreasonable, even for people like us."</span> He said calmly. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"I'm here as part of the audience, and I've never bothered to cause more trouble than there already is."</span> He pointed out, before looking around for Lykra. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"But if there's anything, I do have something to say to your captain, the Red Stained."</span> He admitted. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"I'm sure she will appreciate what I have to say."</span> Zeke shook his head trying to re-orient himself, while Roy tried to calmly observe the situation. If anything were to happen, Roy was ready to spring into action.<br>
<br>
Dayle was beginning to become suspicious of the Blooded Guards. Although he was eye-catching, given his affiliation to the Red Star, they were suddenly more aggressive to him than before. Did Lykra mark him and the Red Star as suspects? But even so, she shouldn't make so much assumptions without solid basis. As Auregnog's second, Dayle trusted her insight as the champion's closest aide. For such a strong person to believe Dayle or his syndicate to be part of their champion's disappearance... she was either not as great as he thought, or she admired the champion too much that it clouded her judgment. There was only one way to find out, and that was to talk to the Red Stained herself.<br>

As the cloud was brought up bingus threw the dagger through the cloud just as a spear came flying out of the cloud towards him. Bingus saw it coming. He stared as it came and blinked. " <b>Oh. </b>" He said just as it slid through his skin and flesh then through his entire body. Bingus felt the heavy spear go through his neck just as his hands grabbed the polearm when he dropped his sword. His eyes wide as he spat blood up but that wasn't the end of it, blood was spitting and flowing out of his wound down his back and chest. The crowd went wild, loud cheers erupted and almost shook the arena up. It was just like the usual. Blood and gore got this crowd pumped up and going. Bingus' eyes stayed on Orchid as his weakening body began to collapse, they were full of hatred, he did smile at her. Almost like he was mocking her. He fell forward but the end of the polearm only caught him as his body fell forward and hit the ground, causing the spear to keep going through his body, caking the handle in blood. But the knife that he did throw did stab into Orchid's armor, it didn't pierce her skin but it went stuck to where her heart was. Her armor had saved her life otherwise she would have most likely been dead. <br>
<br>
Xix grabbed Orchid's arm from below, " <b>Come on. We've won. Now we got something else going on.</b> " The goblin released Orchid and made his way over to the entrance they came out of. Inside the room they would see a man with a ghostly arm standing on the elevator with crossed arms. Like he was awaiting to go down as well, his eyes looked tired and dead as he looked at the two. <br>

Arthur watched the fight drag on, all warriors in this fight were skilled, although he was distracted by Orchid and sighed a bit. The hallucinations and visions returned as he let the feelings go and turned when hearing Victorique. He stared at her quietly as he approached, he watched her squeeze through the elevator and run her way down the wall into the darkness that lead deeper underground. Arthur sighed. "<b> What a dumbass.</b> " Arthur didn't even listen to what she said, he was too distracted by her stupidity. " <b>She gets caught by someone. That's on her. Stupid child.</b> " Arthur stated while standing in the center of the elevator with his arms crossed as the two warriors approached. The goblin Xix and the newcomer orc, Orchid. Arthur looked both up and down and huffed, not saying a word. <br>
<br>
Xix looked at Orchid then at Arthur before sighing. " <b>Just get on the elevator, orc.</b> " Xix walked over to the elevator and stood on it, staring at Arthur who had that stone cold look on his face. He eyed the goblin a bit, but he mainly stared at Orchid, his eyes did lighten up a bit but not by much. When Orchid got on, the elevator began to move and move down underground to the warrior's respite underground. Arthur dared not to take his eyes off these two. he even unfolded their arms when they got onto the elevator just in case anything were to happen. <br>
<br>
Making her way down the wall, Victorique would reach the bottom and see that the elevator was already moving. There had to be about ten strong looking men in loincloths, pulling chains that allowed the elevator to moved, five on each side at the bottom. Their faces were still and almost zombie like. They did as they only knew. Which was pull chains. As this saddening sight would reach Victorique, there would be a woman approach her. A Siren, she looked shocked seeing Victorique, " <b>Wha-! H-How did a child get down here!</b> " She asked, a bit freaked out. " <b><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255)">Uh... Where are your parents?</span> </b>" She asked Victorique just as the elevator made its way down and stopped at the bottom. Xix, Orchid and Arthur stood on it. Arthur turned his head seeing Victorique and sighed of frustration. Shaking his head at her as he made his way over to her. " <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">Good job, dumbass. Could have gotten yourself killed down here. You don't know anything of this place yet still dive headfirst into danger. </span></b>" Arthur scolded her. Stickers, the Siren watched the two and looked at Arthur. " <b>Oh, so is she your child?</b> " Arthur looked up at the Siren then at Victorique. " <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">Feels like it sometimes. </span></b>" He growled. <br>
<br>
<b><i>Elsewhere...</i></b><br>
<br>
Up in the arena stands, as the Blooded Guards had Dayle surrounded, they attacked Zeke and were about to attack Roy when Dayle told them to calm down. The group of them looked at each other, ignoring what Dayle had said. There was a moment of silence, besides the cheering groups, they then raised their weapons ready to attack until there was a whip of red that flew pass Dayle, hitting one of the guards. Above them on a stairwell was Lykra, the Bloodstained stood there along with a couple more Blooded Guards, a conjured whip of blood in her hand. The blood disappeared as she approached, "<b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"> You fools. I told you to not attack them. I said to apprehend them and bring them to me.</span></b> " Lykra was not happy, she sounded stressed and tired. " <b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">Get the fuck out of here before I rip your throats out. </span></b>" Lykra told the guards that attacked Dayle and his group. The group quickly got out of there as Lykra sighed heavily. She looked at Dayle and his small group. " <b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">Follow. You infiltrated in so I might as well actually speak with you.</span></b> " Lykra explained, she sounded almost defeated but very frustrated. " <b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">Let's go somewhere less crowded.</span></b> " Lykra walked away out of the arena stands, the Blooded Guards with her stood behind Dayle, Zeke and Roy, making sure they follow after Lykra. <br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1656231272016-png.996781/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/933/933911-bb966d1dbe31b702bbd78458427992f9.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1656231272016.png" title="1656231272016.png" width="100" height="189" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
Lykra would lead the three to her office towards the bottom of the arena, her guards made sure they followed. When they reached a door, Lykra opened the walked in. "<b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"> Get in here you fools. </span></b>" She called as she sat down behind a desk that faced the door. She had a lot of paper work before her, Lykra took her helmet off revealing her rather pretty face. Placing the helemt on the table, she began to go through the paperwork, " <b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">Sit down and tell me what do you want.</span></b> " Lykra growled, she quickly looked through each piece of paper and wrote on them before tossing them over to another table in a sloppy manner. Her office had a few weapons on a rack behind her. Ther was a few tables inside that had papers and books, there was even a painting of a Blooded Guard, like a portrait, it looked somewhat like her but the gear in the painting was basic and generic, it may have been a younger Lykra. " <b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">Come on, I don't have all day.</span></b> " Lykra snapped her fingers at the three. "<b> <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">And sit your asses down.</span></b> " She repeated, not even realizing she did. <br>

Victorique was done with Arthur. His incompetent idiocy was one thing, his complete deflection of fault another, but his total foolishness in daring to reprimand her for his own moronic behaviour was the last straw. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Perhaps I wouldn't be forced to take such actions if you were able to communicate properly and wouldn't get distracted by the first sight of blood and gore. You had me worried that something happened to you, but now I realise how foolish that was. If all you can do is freeze up, ignore me and then fault me for your own stupidity, you're more of a liability than an asset at this rate, so by all means, go tell these folk how much you admire their bloodshed or something and let me do my job.”</b></span> At this point, she was convinced that whatever dangers the Underbelly could throw at her wouldn't be any less dangerous due to Arthur being there. If anything, they might just be worse due to him attracting them or distracting her from running off. At this rate, all he was good for were his connections, as at least he'd gotten her into this place to begin with.<br>
<br>
As angry as she was at Arthur, she was also pretty on guard with the orc being this close, but she tried her best not to show any of it. After all, she still wasn't sure if she'd be considered an appetiser, so it was best not to try to act natural and to hope the idea wouldn't even come to mind for the orc. All things considered, she hoped the green warriors, both the big one and the small one, for that matter, would mostly ignore her. <br>
<br>
She figured that, right now, her best course of action was to calm down a bit and try to address the Siren. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“If this incompetent fool was my father, I'd have been dead before I could walk.”</b></span> Ah... She still wasn't entirely calmed down after all. Well, with that out of the way, she could attempt a restart. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“I'm Victorique Sopheana, I'm not a child, I'm a halfling.”</b></span> She figured she'd leave out her official job description at first, but then realised that this woman might have some clues. She didn't seem as dumb or bloodthirsty as most of the folk she'd encountered in the Underbelly either, so perhaps this woman was a good entry-point for her investigation. <br>
<br>
Besides, there weren't really any excuses they could make up for wanting to check out the Champion's room, so the truth was their best bet. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“I'm here to investigate what happened to the Champion and prevent another Controls War, as it seems like someone is attempting to steer the recent events into that direction by getting of the Champion. If helping out in preventing massive amounts bloodshed sounds appealing to you, I'd appreciate your cooperation.”</b></span> She made sure to make her argument as persuasive as possible, by taking into account whatever information she could to make it more into an <b>Ultimate Argument</b>. After all, having an insider of the arena on her side might make or break this investigation. <br>

As the dust settled, Orchid looked down at her chest. Somehow, Bingus had managed to get his dagger to slide between the folds on her chest plate, though it failed to get through the gambison underneath. Casually Orchid took the dagger out and strapped it onto her belt: she may need it later. Grabbing her helmet she did a quick look over it and confirmed that the chinstrap was indeed broken.<span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)"> "Fuck. Fourth time already. No patch job this time, I need to take this to an armorer or something." </span>She sighed as the crowd roared. They finally saw Bingus dead on the ground, and Orchid no worse for wear. Raising her poleaxe high into the air, she lets out a hearty roar in victory. She felt Xix grab her, directing her back to the entrance. <span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">"Right. Pay day."</span> Orchid followed the goblin back to the entrance, though strangely enough there was another person here. He didn't look like a gladiator, and she certainly hasn't seen him around here before.<br>
<br>
Tucking her helmet underneath her arm, she gave the stranger a nod. She also took out a cloth from one of her pockets to wipe away her blood. The cloth had a bitter scent and stung when it touched her wound, but that was because it had some medicinal herbs to help clean wounds and prevent infections. A little bit of healing goes a long way to staying alive. She walked into the elevator at Xix's insistence, and as they rode their way up Orchid put her cloth away and brought out a snack. A baked granola bar, with wild nuts and dried berries. A sweet snack that can be surprisingly filling, and great after a hard workout like fighting. She made quite a few and had a pocket full of them. As she snacked she noticed the man looking at her, so Orchid took out a snack bar and offered it to him.<br>
<br>
When the elevator finally arrived, Orchid was surprised to see a little girl here. Not exactly the sort of establishment for a child. Though that being said, seeing the girl's rather fine outfit and the mystery man's attitude towards her, as well as his choice of words, Orchid had a feeling she wasn't a child, just a short woman. <span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">"Heh. That's kind of funny."</span> Then the girl spoke, removing all doubt that this girl wasn't a child, but in fact a rather sassy woman on a mission. She introduced herself as Victorique Sopheana, so definitely some sort of fancy person from a fancier place than the Undercity. Orchid could guess why: probably someone topside sent down here to investigate the missing champion. Why else would she be snooping around the arena? And sure enough, that's exactly what she was here to do. <span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">"Oh sweet, someone's here to look into that."</span> Orchid went to stand next to Sticker. <span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">"If she's looking into Auregnog, I want to help too! Won't have much of a career as a gladiator if people are too busy killing each other in the streets to watch me killing people in the arena."</span> Orchid looked to Victorique and extended a hand to her.<span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)"> "Name's Orchid. Hired blade, but currently my blade's hired to fight in the arena. Speaking of which," </span>The armored warrior looked to Stickler with a smile. One less psychotic than the one she has in the arena, and more polite and professional. <span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">"I survived! How much did I win?"</span><br>
<br>
<b>Grade F Cooldown <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">(0/0)</span></b><br>
<i>Healthy Snack </i>- Domestic Arts F, Healing F - Orchid makes a snack that can miraculously heal one's wounds. While it might not save someone's life, it could help them get through a rough day.

Dayle's expression hardened when he realized these people were about to skewer them, but Lykra had arrive in the nick of moment. From what she said, it seemed that the Blooded Guard has become in disarray. Blatantly ignoring commands, the lack of discipline, Dayle could hardly believe that this was Underbelly's top dog. Thankfully, the bastards were still compliant to Lykra, but he was doubting how much she could handle by herself. Since the situation has been resolved, Dayle shrugged and followed Lykra.<br>
<br>
Dayle and his men complied and went inside her office, but were momentarily surprised when Lykra took off her helmet. Zeke nodded his head in approval, Roy pondered as he looked at her, and Dayle continued on to take a seat. Although she was pretty, Dayle had enough sense to not say anything. He hated to admit it, but Lykra alone could floor him and his men if she wanted to. There was no way he was going to offend her by commenting about her appearance now. Thankfully, his men didn't voice out their thoughts, and only looked at Lykra with a different light now. Zeke and Roy knew better than to say unnecessary remarks. Zeke did once, then he ate a fistful of 'discipline' after that. Roy couldn't even dare to. He could talk to Dayle if there were no business going on, but otherwise his Red Star affiliation made him seriously adherent to its strict hierarchy.<br>
<br>
Just as he sat down, Dayle raised his brow at the repeated command, before shaking his head as if he knew where she was coming from. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"You're quite stressed, I see. Things have happened so suddenly after all, and there seems to be no rest for you."</span> Dayle chuckled. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"But I'll oblige, to the main point. I have info you might need."</span> He leaned forward to Lykra and spoke in a low voice. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"But for that, I also need one in return. I will ask for it now, since it will define how this whole negotiation will go."</span> Dayle leaned back on his seat and asked Lykra with utmost seriousness. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Auregnog. What happened to him, or more specifically, what has been happening around him before all this debacle?"</span><br>
<br>
There were two purposes of this question: one was to lower Lykra's suspicion of him. By asking Auregnog's recent history, he was implicitly saying that he had no idea what was happening before the champion's disappearance, and he was willing to get to the bottom of it. This also implied that the Red Star are also bothered by this entire development, and in extension, completely uninvolved. The second purpose was to find out who Auregnong is, and his influence. Since Lykra was the champion's second in command, she was his best bet when it came to information about him.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Though I am fine with you refusing to answer, please think about it properly. The Red Star is also be affected by this, so it's also in our best interest to resolve this matter."</span> Dayle was trying to be as considerate as negotiations go. Dayle believed that if Lykra was not like the other Blooded Guards he had met, then she would at least consider this option laid out before him. With how much her entire group is becoming, she wouldn't have enough hands to help her with the investigation. This would mean that she either has to give up on it, find out about it on her own, or seek for a third party's help. The first option is out, considering her passion for the champion. The second is also ruled out, as she has the Blooded Guard to keep in check. The third option is her only way out, but to delegate this responsibility to a stranger is something Dayle knew she wouldn't do. That's why, Dayle offered to exchange information instead. A business endeavor as a front to help Lykra find out what happened to her champion. As well as help himself and the Red Star in the process.<br>

Yup, the Underbelly had paperwork, or at least the Blooded Guard does, unless some other bigger gangs do. "<b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"> I have a huge weight on my back since Auregnog's disappearance, we can't even get into his personal chambers below the Warrior's Respite. </span></b>" She explained putting her quill down, taking a deep breath to calm herself. " <b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">I don't know where he is at. </span></b>" Lykra growled, she looked worried and scared in her eyes, but her face showed strength and power. She didn't want to be vulnerable, especially to rival gang members. " <b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">His room may hold answers, but he never allowed anyone to enter. Not even me. </span></b>" Lykra looked down at the desk for a moment as her voice sounded sad before it returned to her rude and hardened tone and her gaze returned. " <b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">But I haven't seen him since the Gang War, he told me to go out and do clean up with most of the Guard. He cared for this world and its people more than I ever have. But I respected him.</span></b> " Lykra explained, she spoke highly of Auregnog. <br>

" <b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">You two, leave. I need to speak to Dayle alone.</span></b> " When they finally left, Lykra stood up and stared down Dayle, "<b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"> I do not like you Red Stars. But you're different from those glorified wannabes. </span></b>" Lykra stated, leaning forward, placing her hands on her desk. " <b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">They are deceiving backstabbers. They don't even live down here, yet they are interested in our affairs. Especially with the Blooded Guard when I saw you four out there. I know you had nothing to do with his disappearance, you would not be able to take out Auregnog. </span></b>" Lykra pushed herself off the desk and stood up straight. " <b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">If you can get into his room then I want you to tell me what you find inside. I have to keep a eye on the Guard, they are as worried if not more than me. The People's Champion is gone and now they will feel lost in the dark.</span></b> " Lykra stared at the desk then back at Dayle, "<b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"> I don't care what your pathetic organization wants out of this, they wouldn't be able to do what they want with us. But I'd rather them not know anything. </span></b>" Lykra growled moving around the table looking at Dayle as she walked up to the gangster. Sitting against her table as she gently brought one leg over her other, moving her head to reveal her neck to Dayle, she stood up and walked closer to Dayle before she then proceeded to sit on his lap, placing a hand on his cheek, leaning in a bit. "<b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"> Do you understand? </span></b>" Lykra asked with a smile. <br>

" Funny coming from a little munchkin who decided to play hide and go seek without telling me they were going to try and get the elevator down and you failed in doing that anyways. " Arthur smirked a little hearing when Victorique stated that she would have been dead if she was his child. " <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">My child? Please, I don't think i would have created one as snotty, bratty or even ugly as you for that matter. Or something as tiny. Please refrain from over exaggerating, your midget complex is getting out of hand. </span></b>" Arthur rolled his eyes at the halfling, " <b>Now pipe down before I put you on a leash.</b> " Arthur sighed turning his attention to Orchid who came forward to receive her money from the onlooking Sticker, a Siren who acted as a money launderer and announcer. " <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">You want to join in? </span></b>" Arthur looked her up and down with a look of untrust, but she gave a good enough reason for joining, although Arthur did want to know her a bit better but wasn't sure how to approach her. " <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">You may scare the little one, she thinks you're going to grind her bones into seasoning and eat her eyeballs. </span></b>" Arthur stated with crossed arms. <br>
<br>
The Siren jumped seeing the large Orc, " <b>Oh, uh...</b> " The robed Siren pushed her hand into her pocket and grabbed something as she pulled it out. "<b> Here you go. </b>" Sticker said with a happy smile, when Orchid held her hand out, the Siren placed a piece of lint on her hand. Xix then laughed, " <b>Sticker. Pay her what she's owed.</b> " The goblin had crossed arms and a smile on her face. Sticker laughed a bit and pulled from her robe sleeves a bag of gold, " <b>A joke of course. </b>" Sticker had a happy innocent like smile as she handed Orchid a large bag of gold, enough to get her some new armor and weapons and still a good bed for a few nights. Xix then looked to Victorique and Arthur " <b>So you two are here to investigate Auregnog's disappearance. Glad to hear. Although you look like you know nothing of this place.</b> " Xix commented towards Victorique then looked to Arthur, " <b>Guess that's why you got someone who looks like they have killed too many. </b>" Xix commented, Arthur didn't show any expressions when Xix said that besides his cold stare.</div>

Thing is, you didn't even listen and kept staring at the fight instead, like we weren't standing in the arena with the Blooded Guard potentially ready to throw us out. That's what I mean when I point out your inability to communicate!”</b></span> She glared back at him. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“You're the one that should be leashed, perhaps then you won't get distracted as much.”</b></span> She tried her best to ignore his remark towards Orchid, as that one was too truthful for comfort and Victorique didn't want to acknowledge it.<br>
<br>
The latter was made a bit more difficult when Orchid actually extend a hand to her. That was very tough to ignore... She slowly and carefully extend one back and, in the back of her mind, prayed it wasn't a trick to catch her and pull her in to serve as appetiser. Well, in a worst case scenario, she still had one trick up her sleeve, so perhaps a simple hand-shake wouldn't be the death of her. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Nice to meet you , miss Orchid. Any help is welcome.”</b></span> The latter was true, as she had very little faith in Arthur doing his job and could use a more attentive guard. Perhaps, maybe, if Orchid didn't plan to eat her, the orc could serve as protection instead? That was a very appealing prospect. <br>
<br>
To her surprise, the goblin also took an interest in what they were here for. That might allow her to actually start doing her job. Besides, despite his fearsome and gruesomeness, Xix was at least someone she could talk to at eye-level. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“You're an experienced fighter here, right, mister Xix? Can you tell us what you know about the champion, or even better, how he might have changed these past few weeks or so? Did anything seem off about him, did he break any regular schedules or patterns of his?”</b></span> She also looked at the Siren, unsure of what her exact relation to the champion was. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“If you know anything, miss, I'd love to hear from you as well.”</b></span><br>
<br>
There was one conclusion that was clear already. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Auregnog doesn't sound like one to go down easily and quietly, unless someone carefully prepared for this. Such preparations take time, time during which they might've left traces that lead us back to the culprit. Ah, right, on the topic of that. Is it possible for us to investigate the champion's room? It's the likeliest place for us to find anything that might be of relevance, if we're not too late already.”</b></span><br>

Dayle listened to Lykra, and obliged to order the two to get out of the office. Outside the two stood, and they were faced with the Blooded Guards guarding the office. They seemed unfriendly, so Zeke turned his head to his colleague. <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">"So, we out drinking tonight?"</span> Roy raised his brow at the grinning Zeke, before sighing. <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">"Me and my boys are not paying."</span> He replied. <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">"No problem."</span> Zeke hummed, already thinking about tonight's party.<br>
<br>
Just as Dayle was having a good day as the negotiations went smoother than expected, Lykra suddenly tried to do a femme fatale's move on him. He hated manipulative bastards, and Lykra's bold move made her look very irritating to him. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"I understand completely."</span> Dayle's voice subconsciously became unfriendly. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"So please, get off me."</span> Although Dayle has grown, there were still some insults that he couldn't take. One of them was being seen as a fool that could easily be controlled, stemming from the experience of being played like a fiddle by Mr. Loren, his current superior. But as much as he wanted to throw Lykra off of him, he wasn't reckless enough to pick a fight with Auregnog's second. Dayle crossed his arms, subtly saying that he does not want anymore of Lykra's 'moves'.<br>
<br>
Dayle took a moment to calm down his boiling rage and spoke clearly. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Since I was requested by Red Star itself, there will be some things needed to be relayed to them."</span> He looked at Lykra. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"But I can promise nothing about Auregnog will reach their ears."</span> He leaned back to his seat. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"However, I won't put it above them to put two and two together. At that point, I hope you understand."</span> Dayle warned, thinking of his own superior.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"As for my end of the deal, the information about Auregnog's disappearance has been leaked everywhere."</span> He spoke. Integrity was one of the few things Dayle was proud of about himself. As long as he made a deal, he was going to fulfill his end. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"And the timeframe of the leak does not match up. The surface world got a hold of it earlier than we did, but the important thing was the fact that this was leaked before any of us knew that the champion's gone."</span> Dayle pondered for a moment before speaking again. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"It was almost as if this event was already predetermined."</span> <br>

<span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">"Eat her? Oh, she shouldn't have to worry about that. Im not some crazy cannibal that just goes around eating any person who I fancy a taste for. I have some standards." </span>Orchid chuckled at the man's suggestion that she'd eat Victorique. Turning back to Sticker, when Orchid saw the siren out lint in her hands, for a moment a flash of fury was on Orchid's face. She can be calm and jovial, and understands the world is a strange and cruel place, but you do not <b>fuck</b> with Orchid's money. She isn't fighting in the arena because she's a murderous psychopath. She is t here for honor or glory. She's here to get paid, and anyone who gets in the way of that will die, no if or buts about it. Fortunately, Sticker gave Orchid her actual winnings. Making sure the money's all there and more importantly, more than what Orchid betted, she calmed down, but already had a worse impression of Sticker. <br>
<br>
Ignoring that for a moment, Orchid focused back on Victorique and the man who never bothered to introduce himself, so Orchid is just going to call him Redman. <span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">"Before we deliver too deeply into this, we should probably do a bit more introductions, and maybe establish what exactly we need from one another. Especially between Miss. Victorique and the Redman here. I get the impression you two aren't exactly cooperating, which could prove to be detrimental in both the short and long run. If this partnership isn't going to work out it may be best to reevaluate your positions before a personal conflict ruins the mission." </span>Orchid has seen this sort of arrangement a lot in her past life, and unlike in anime, it usually results in sour emotions and broken relationships instead of beligerent sexual tension. Not to mention if what Redman said is true, if Victorique is more the type to leap before she looked, that could just result in Orchid getting caught up in a situation she isn't prepared for, not has the means to escape from. Someone small and flighty like Victorique might be able to weasel out of a bad situation, but Orchid is far less agile, and her strength isnt the solution to all of her problems.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">"It would help if we sign a formal contract on this. Get a better sense of where we all stand and who to defer to when it comes to sleuthing, fisticuffs, or other such thing. I get the impression that the both of you decided to do two different things without telling each other, and if I do join ya that just means another chef to spoil the stew. So for the sake of our success, why don't we slow down a bit, get to know one another and what we're capable of, and figure out how to apply those abilities and resources to solve this case?" </span></div>

Her smile turned to a look of shock then a scowl as she stood up flustered, " <b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">Dumb fucking bastard. </span></b>" She mumbled under her breath then moved back to her desk and leaned against it with her arms crossed. She looked a bit unhappy but continued to listen. Lykra stared at Dayle with angry before taking a deep breath and exhaling. She calmed down and now looked a bit saddened as she walked over to behind her desk and sat down in her chair, placing her elbow on the desk then leaned her head against her hand.<br>

" <b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">I shouldn't even let you fucking mange riddled fucking dogs in here with your fucking stench. </span></b>" Lykra growled deeply with venom on her words. She lifted her hand up as a moment of silence swept over the room and she leaned back in her chair with her arms crossed and very angry look on her face, lowering her voice again. "<b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"> If I give you permission to enter into Auregnog's room, if you can get into it of course, I will allow you free roam of the Bloody Defiance. But I want to hear what you find in there, and you only tell me. ME, Dayle.</span></b> " Lykra pointed at herself. "<b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"> My men are worried. Angry and I've been up for two three days now. I am taking a huge risk allowing a Red Star bastard in here.</span></b> " Lykra sighed shaking her head. "<b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"> You know what. No. Get the fuck out. I should have your ass fucking flayed right in front me. </span></b>" Lykra growled pointing a finger at Dayle. " <b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">And to fucking think I wanted a little fun with a fucking Red Star. You pricks are all stupid. </span></b>" Lykra went back to her paperwork for moment then looked up at Dayle, " <b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">See yourself out.</span></b> " She huffed then went back to working. <br>

Arthur sighed heavily, " <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">You remind me of those rat dogs... What are they... Chihuahuas? Yeah, you remind me of that. A chihuahua. Now pipe down before I muzzle you.</span></b> " Arthur shook his head with crossed arms looking over at Orchid, he straightened up a bit when she asked for introductions, Arthur's constant torment of faces and death faded once more looking up at the strong orc. Arthur's eyes lightened up and he looked at his hands, he didn't hear the voices and didn't see the faces of those dead that he killed. Arthur could hear finally, his eyes looked up at Victorique, she was different looking now. Arthur could see clearly. He heard Redman, and moved his head to Orchid, "<b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)"> It's Arthur.</span></b> " He sounded a bit different now, more nice. " <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">Arthur Verg, and what I can do is protect and kill.</span></b> " He extended his arm out in front of him just as a tommy gun appeared in his hand. " <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">And I don't hesitate. </span></b>" Arthur held his gun closely then had it disappear in a instant. <br>
<br>
"<b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)"> Maybe I have been pretty hostile with you, Victorique. I haven't been the nicest. </span></b>" Arthur stated having actual emotion in his eyes and voice. " <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">So. I'm sorry.</span></b> " Arthur nodded at the Halfling then looked at Orchid. "<b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)"> I saw what you were capable of. It will be good to have someone of your size and strength.</span></b> " Arthur did look her up and down again just as he finished talking, "<b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)"> But that'll be up to Victorique if you want some sort of payment or to be contracted. </span></b>" Arthur finished, he looked at his cursed hand then to the goblin, Xix. <br>
<br>
Xix looked at Vicroque as he stood next to Stickers who gave Xix his share of the gold, a bag bigger than what Orchid got. He had a raised eyebrow, " <b>What am I? His personal ass wiper?</b> " Xix asked with his hands on his hips and a smile on his face as he chuckled at his own joke. "<b> While I was down here for a little bit. Auregnog never really did come down here unless it was to handle business. Him in his red armor. But that was rare. </b>" Xix explained, " <b>But... He did have more fights happen these last few days, just after the Gang War a few days ago. I think it was to keep the people entertained and to stay here. But during that time he didn't fight. And that is most likely when he disappeared. </b>" Xix looked to Sticker who looked at the goblin who nodded, then she to Victorique, " <b>Well... Um... I had more dealings with Auregnog with the business side than everyone else here. </b>" She stated. "<b> If that is interesting. </b>"</div>

Dayle held back a chuckle. Seeing Lykra so frustrated and angry strangely gave him a joy. Back then, her anger was unwarranted although understandable. Now, being the cause for this anger that's more like a tantrum, as well as repelling an attempt at 'manipulation', was quite satisfactory for Dayle. Not today, woman. Not ever. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"I swear on my name-"</span> Dayle looked at Lykra with seriousness. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"-and I swear this with my life on the line, nothing anything related to Auregnog will ever be spoken to anyone, except to only you."</span> Dayle could see Lykra's grumpy mood and didn't want to make it any worse, so he stood up with haste. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Then I'll see myself out. Expect a report later."</span> <br>
<br>
Dayle went out the door and beckoned his men to go with him. <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">"Uh, boss? Why are you smiling?"</span> Zeke asked, but Dayle held it in until he was far enough from the office, before laughing heartily. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"I thought this day was busted, but who would've thought I'd have fun?"</span> Zeke and Roy widened their eyes and looked at each other. <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">"I didn't hear anyone punching anyone though?"</span> Zeke whispered to Roy. <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">"I did hear an angry voice from that woman though."</span> They both looked at their boss' back as they walked.<br>
<br>
This was a big deal to Dayle. He felt frustrated dancing on the palm of someone else's hand, so how intoxicating would it be to see through someone else's 'lies' and avoid their manipulation completely? If the manipulator becomes angry, it would become a nice bonus for him. It was as if Dayle found out that he be able to get out of Mr. Loren's grasp if he just tried hard enough.<br>
<br>
Zeke and Roy shrugged. <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">"If he's happy, we're happy."</span> Zeke nodded his head. <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">"That's a sappy line for someone such as you, Zeke."</span> Roy remarked, causing Zeke to laugh. <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">"Ah, you've never had a bit of the cheese with the boys huh?"</span> Roy rolled his eyes and paid him no more attention.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"We're going to the champion's chambers."</span> Dayle informed to his two men in a whisper. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"This place is hard to navigate, and we'll have to keep out of the eyes of the guards."</span> Zeke and Roy nodded to his instructions. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"For that matter though, we gotta go to the gladiator's lobby, and the entrance for that is at the other side."</span> Dayle whispered, before sauntering over to the exit and going back at the outside of the colosseum again. If the other two made it, then he would guess they'd be also currently moving towards the champion's chambers as well.<br>

<br>
Victorique was stunned, surprised, shocked, bewildered, confused, astonished, bedazzled and perhaps even a little startled. Had Arthur really just... apologized? Despite calling her after one of those rat-dogs mere moments ago? This... It didn't add up, but even at the best extend of her insight, it sounded genuine. What in the world was happening? Out of all the drama and chaos in the underbelly, this development was what threw her off the most. Was it the Orc's words? Were they magic? They had to be. That would explain a few things, such as why Arthur had been a brain-dead fool in the arena. He'd been caught by some orcish mind-magic...<br>
<br>
Nah, that was silly. Or was it? She truly needed a bit of time to figure out her thoughts and whatnot. Eventually, she hesitantly replied. If anything, it was more to test he waters than a confident reply. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“I eh... guess I'm not always the easiest to deal with either.”</b></span> That was the extend to which she was able/willing to go for now, as this was all weirder her out way more than any of the blood and gore did previously. <br>
<br>
She decided to distract herself by focussing on the Orc's questions instead. Whilst it was great to learn she wasn't on the menu (she hoped the Orc was speaking truthfully, but after Arthur, she started to distrust her own insight), the ominous threat of a large cannibal being near was still there. Being hostile would probably only worsen that though, so for now it would be best to cooperate. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“I asked Arthur to get me into the Underbelly and into wherever I'll need to go to investigate. He never really formally agreed, but he said he wanted information and started walking to get us in, so I'm assuming he's on board with that part.”</b></span> <br>
<br>
She then debated a bit what to say next. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“As for me... well... eh, I investigate. I can probably outrun most folks if need-be. That's about it. Unlike mister Xix here, I haven't yet found away to overcome any size disadvantages if things get rough, so eh... if you want in, that getting rough part would probably be your thing.”</b></span> She was a bit hesitant, in particular with regards to a point Arthur had also brought up. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“I'll be open about this in advance. I can probably arrange some monetary compensation, but after seeing the bags of gold you make here, it'll be little more than spare change. The only thing of real value I can offer would be the fame or acknowledgement that comes with helping us figure this out, or if you like, the knowledge you helped stop a new Controls War from being plotted.”</b></span> She wondered if she should mention the Adventurer's Guild, but decided not to do so. The people here probably wouldn't like them or anyone related to them. <br>
<br>
Victorique clicked her tongue when the goblin mentioned more fights having taken place. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“More fights taking place? That's an interesting one. Taking down someone like Auregnog wouldn't be easy, so it'd make sense to scout him out a little. Fighting him in the arena would be a great way to do so without raising any suspicion. Were any of his opponents strangers to this place? They might've been sent to test him. Alternatively, if I learned anything about him, it's that he'd be the type to get rid of frustration through fighting. If something or someone was getting on his nerves, he'd be going here more often to calm down. Did he seem particularly aggregated during his fights? Perhaps a little more brutal and a bit less collected and calculating?”</b></span><br>
<br>
She then looked at the Siren. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“With how little we know about the situation at the moment, everything might be of interest. The one thing that is by far the most mysterious to me, is how someone of such renown and power is taken down without any people noticing it. I still wish to check if he had weaknesses, such as people that he cared about, whom could be exploited by third parties. Kidnapping, blackmailing, that kind of deal. No matter how strong you are, if you love someone dearly and they're not within your realm of protection, you're as weak as they'd be. Finding someone he holds more dearly than the Underbelly itself and obtaining said person would be the easiest way to take Auregnog down. If you're handling the business side, do you know if he has made consistent payments to particular people? That might indicate the existence of such a person. Or, alternatively, did he make any sudden payments without clear reason? The latter might indicate he's being blackmailed...”</b></span> After her long rant, she realised there were still many ideas she could further exploit. <br>
<br>
However... she was straying off way too much. There was one primary objective that she shouldn't delay. All these other questions and theories could follow later. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Actually, I believe getting to his room takes precedence. Any evidence that's left in there won't get any clearer with time. Can either of you take us there?”</b></span></div>

With a slight smile, Orchid nods as the two quickly made up. Always good to cut that right in the bub. The Redman formally introduced himself as Arthur, and to her surprised he had a gun. A magic gun, but a gun nonetheless. Orchid hadn't seen a gone with a gun before and it immediately pegged the man as an Isekai'd person. There's a good chance this Victorique person might be one as well, though Orchid could only assume because of association.<span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)"> "Fascinating. I'm not much help afar, so it's good to know you have my back if we run into an enemy outside the reach of my blade. Since you've seen me fight, I don't need to explain too much what I'm capable of. But I can also do some basic first-aid. Won't save anyone's life, but if you're hurt let me help you."</span><br>
<br>
Victorique followed up and seemed flabbergasted at Arthur's change of attitude. It's understandable, Victorique is out of her element here. She's likely just on the defense and doesn't want to be deceived, which Orchid could understand. She herself has gotten into a few situations where she assumed good will and was caught in a trap, so the suspicion and gruffness is warrented. All the more reason that Orchid wants to formalize a contract so both sides know that there <i>is </i>boundaries  and keep things professional. Otherwise they may expect too much from one another, this creates dissapointment and resentment, breaks down of communication that results in increase hostility. Just bad stuff.<span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)"> "Fast and cunning. That's good for an investigator. Leave the violence to me and Arthur, I'm not really smart so I'll leave the sleuthing to you. But if you need some violent persuasion, by all means let me handle it. But only as a last resort, I tend to eat people as part of my interrogation, so not great for making friends. As for payment, I won't ask for much, but I will ask for some form of montentary compensation for the sake of professionalism. Not really one to accept payment in exposure. Though if you can reference me to anyone who needs a blade for hire, I'd appriciated it. Networking is important!"</span><br>
<br>
Soon Victorique started talking to Xix and Sticker about the champions Orchid didn't have anything to say, so she took some papers and ink and starts drafting a contract for herself and Victorique. She's taken some time to review what sort of contracts actual mercenary groups have when renting out individual warriors, so Orchid's contract will be similar. In short, for the duration of Victorique investigation in the Undercity, she will protect and fight on Victorique behalf. Victorique can expect Orchid to defend her from any threat, and should Orchid flee from a fight without Victorique premission, refuse an order to defend her, start a fight without Victorique knowledge or consent, or accept a contract from someone who is hostile to Victorique, then this contract is null and Orchid would owe Victorique compensation equal to ten times the money owed to Orchid. In exchange Victorique will owe Orchid a stipend per day she is with Victorique, and Orchid is not liable for any crimes committed on Victorique orders. So if Orchid murders someone because the halfling told her to, Orchid is only an accessory while Victorique herself is the murderer. This ensures that Victorique doesn't use Orchid to blatantly commit crimes, or at least accepts that if it does happen she can't just throw Orchid under the bus for it. Once Orchid was satisfied, she made a copy that said the same thing.<br>
<br>
Orchid was never much of a literal writer back in the old world, but she's gotten a lot more practice coming here. Literacy isn't too uncommon, but good penmanship is, so Orchid tries to write clearly and legibly. Being able to keep good notes and accounting is important for everyday living, which fortunately her Domestic Arts skill bolsters, so her handing writing was pretty good. Readable for most literate people at least. Once the inked dry, Orchid writes her signature on a dotted line waits until Victorique is done getting her awnsers from Xix and Sticker before handing the contracts to her. "<span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">Our contract. It's not as formal as a proper Merc contract, but it should work for our arrangement. Please sign both copies, I'll keep one for my records, and you can keep yours to give to your client or whatever. After that, just tell me where we need to go and who needs to die, and I'll take care of the rest!"</span></div>

On the top were a few large birds overwatching the arena, their eyes looking all around making sure no trouble was happening. As Dayle made his way through the crowd and to the other side of the arena, Roy would notice there was a couple of hooded figures following him at a distance, their faces hidden in darkness. They were close to the Warrior's Respite, but they could deal with these figures, not like they would do anything in a crowd. <br>

" <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">Sweetheart, I'm not just proficient in guns.</span></b> " Arthur scoffed as he extended his hand again as a crowbar appeared in his hand, the end stained with old blood. It looked worn; the weapon disappeared as Arthur lowered his hand. "<b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)"> So I can help with fighting in melee as well. </span></b>" Arthur pulled on his coat to adjust it, " <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">First aid will be detrimental if one of us are hurt, we also have another joining us with a couple of his own goons. </span></b>" Arthur remarked, " <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">A guy in a eyepatch and two similar looking gabooshes. </span></b>" The cold man gave a smile, a actual smile. But his disappeared when she mentioned interrogation and that she could take over for that, " Listen, " Arthur placed a hand up, "<b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)"> I specialize in interrogation, Orchid. I was made to interrogate and murder people. </span></b>" the former hitman stated coldly with crossed arms. His eyes moved to Victorique who said that Arthur never formally agreed, "<b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)"> Formally no. Yet I still got you here, you are a smart gal, you'll have information I need. Hopefully.</span></b> " <br>
<br>
Xix stood next to Sticker as both stared at Victorique, Xix looking a bit bored with all the talking and Sticker looked like she wasn't paying much attention as she was looking at the clipboard she held, looking over notes, when the halfling finished speaking, Sticker looked at Xix who looked at her and shrugged. " <b>Don't speak too much, Sticks. Guild doesn't need to know much about our home.</b> " The goblin told the Siren who nodded, "<b> You're right... Alright Vicky, well, we aren't sure what happened to Auregnog. He just disappeared after the Gang War, when he sent out the Blooded Guard. After that he wasn't seen since, and when he didn't show up for his Champion's Fight today, it was apparent something happened in the last two days.</b> " Stickers explained, "<b> He spends most of his time in his chambers so it didn't seem weird that he was gone for a couple days. But it was weird he wasn't seen today, he usually will come out to talk to me about bets and put money down on himself.</b> " Sticker looked at her clipboard and sighed a bit. " <b>Usually I spend most of my time here in the Warrior's Respite, so I see most traffic come through, but no one goes into his chambers. Ever. No one has seen them besides him. Heck, his own doors have a customized and hard lock to open. I can take you to it but I doubt you'll be able to open it..</b> " Sticker walked pass the group and beckoned the group to follow them, "<b> So come on. </b>" She smiled at them, Xix sighed and followed after Sticker. <br>
<br>
The Siren had the group follow after her through the Warrior's Respite, " <b>He has a stairwell that leads to his chambers but the door itself is at the bottom, I am sure he lives under the arena. </b>" Sticker explained as she then brought the group to a stairwell, at the bottom there would be a large door with a black and red shield etched onto the door, on both sides there were locks with what looked like a broken handle of a sword and the other had a large lock that went into the door deeply, almost like a lantern type key would fit in. This looked impossible to open up, even the best locksmith wouldn't be able to open this up. Auregnog picked the best of the best. But... There would be a small detail, the door was slightly cracked open. Just wide enough to stick a few fingers in.</div>

<br>
Victorique looked over the contract drafted up by Orchid. It seemed pretty decent. There was one thing that Victorique wanted to quickly check. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Rather than a flat amount per day, would you not prefer taking a percentage of whatever I'll end up with? It's probably going to be a fair bit more than what you'd get now upon success, but I haven't exactly been paid in advance, so you'll have to do with pocket change instead if you wish for a daily stipend instead.”</b></span> That was pretty much the only way that Victorique could guarantee a semblance of fair (non-symbolic) pay without the risk of having an angry orc decide to take payment in halfling meat. Whether she'd spent her last private savings on it to guarantee a daily (yet low wage) stipend or give a worthwhile share of whatever reward money she herself would stand to gain (at the risk of both gaining very little), she'd sign the contract upon confirming Orchid's preference. Having a scary orc to boss around (to a degree) was oddly exiting, for that matter. It was only the casual cannibalism that kept making her feel shivers down her spine, but perhaps she could learn to use that in her favour as well. Having signed the contract, she quickly put away her copy of the contract in her [Pocket Dimension]. <br>
<br>
That brought her to the next part. Sadly enough, Xix and Sticker had already found out her relation to the Adventurer's Guild. It was probably due to those blasted titles. Perhaps she should figure out a way to hide them in case she wanted to go undercover. That was too late for now, however, as they'd already learned of it. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“For what it's worth, I'm a very goal-oriented person. Whatever I learn that doesn't end up connecting back to figuring out what's up with the champion is something I'm more than willing to forget about.”</b></span> She was truthful in that regard and made sure to sound persuasive [Persuasion D]. Perhaps it'd make them a little more at ease to know that she didn't care much for all sorts of other illegal stuff going on here and that she definitely wasn't here to scout out the place for a take-over by adventurer's. <br>
<br>
She decided to ignore the nickname Sticker gave her, despite hating it. Making an enemy out of every single person she met would only grow tiring. She did, for just a split second, wonder if Orchid would actually attack Sticker without question if she ordered the Orc to do so, now that their contracts were signed. However, that was a thing for alter. For now, there were a few thing she made sure to memorise. <i>Disappeared two day ago after sending out the Blooded Guard for the Gang War.</i> She instantly wondered if those events were closer related than she thought it might be. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Is there any chance the Gang War was used as a manner to get the Blooded Guard away from him?”</b></span> It was a bit of a stretch, but not an impossible one.<br>
<br>
She did, however, grow visibly excited at the prospect of breaking into the campion's secret lair. Perhaps it was some of her mystery novel writing past or perhaps her new halfling nature made her weaker towards giving in to certain childlike tendencies, but she couldn't help herself from being eager to explore that which was clearly not meant for exploring by strangers. She couldn't help herself from displaying bits of that excitement either, which her halfling nature made out to be an almost childlike glee. <br>
<br>
The moment she spotted the door, however, she clicked her tongue. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Hold up.”</b></span> She went in closer, just to check something. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“I think this may have been tempered with... Let me check.”</b></span> She quickly went on to see what she could find out. Was the door being slightly opened due to having been broken into? Was it open normally? Was it open because it'd been trapped instead? She was committed to being the [Ultimate Detective]. Upon having figured out whatever she could and making sure it wasn't trapped, she'd nod towards Arthur and Orchid. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Alright, time to see what's inside.”</b></span><br>

<span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">"A percentile base? Don't know what your contract owes, for all I know you volunteered for this job. Don't worry about paying me everyday, I'll just keep account of what you owe me and you can pay me when the contract is over. Unless you plan to end the contract soon and don't have the money on hand... In which case, we can negotiate something later."</span> Ordinary a percentile based contract was fairly lucrative, but that's only worth while if you knew the contract holder was going to be raking in big bucks. Orchid didn't know Victorique well enough or her work here to know what sort of money they're talking about, and Orchid imagines that Victorique isn't too aware either. Plus, Orchid didn't want to write a second set of contracts. She stuck to the original contract, having both Victorique and her sign it.<span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)"> "And with that, my blade is yours. Let's get going, boss." </span><br>
<br>
Orchid follows Victorique to Auregnog room, prepared for danger. She was expecting Blood Guard since they've been doing a decent job cracking heads, and even Orchid knows they're a set above most gladiators. But to her surprise, there weren't any guards here. That was suspicious. Even more so when the door was already open a crack. Was someone here before them? She would imagine that no one would be able to get inside of Auregnog but himself. Maybe there was another who had access. Someone from the Blood Guard perhaps? Would explain why they aren't here if they're inside. "<span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">Weird. Well then Arthur, why not use that crowbar for it's original purpose? No interest in losing my fingers to a masterwork door, but I bet you can wedge the prybar in that crack, pop it open." </span></div>

Roy noticed the hooded figures and whispered to Dayle of their presence. Dayle, without hesitation, turned to look at the figures at the distance. He gave them a look, before giving them a provocative smirk. Whoever they were, they had not bothered with him yet. However, he would remember them. He walked the last few steps towards the entrance before giving the hooded figures another glance. Dayle could not let these people go near the champion's quarters, so he decided to station both of his men first. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Zeke, Roy, keep an eye on those bozos while I get inside the lobby."</span> The two nodded in affirmation. <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">"Got it, boss."</span> <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">"As you command, boss."</span> With a nod, he stepped into the front of the Warrior's Respite.<br>
<br>
Although he was a thug, he still had some certain manners. As a guest, it was only right to knock first. Clearing his throat, he knocked on the door. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Hello? Someone told me this is the place for the warrior's... respite."</span> Dayle spoke. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"And as it turns out, I need to get inside. Can I come in?"</span> He asked as he leaned on the door frame. Although he could use Lykra's name, there was never a confirmation for him to do so. For now, he was going to ask politely. As for the second time? He will ask a bit less politely.<br>

It went from two following them to five, then to seven. Even as they made their way to the Warrior's Respite door, there was a door waiting for them with a couple of guards next to the door overlooking anyone who came to them, they were wearing heavier armor and held larger weapons than the others. When the three approached the door, the hooded figures disappeared into the crowd. Just as Dayle walked to the door, the two guards stared at him then at each other before looking ahead. Knocking on the door there was no response for a moment until a small slit in the door opened up in the door. " <b>Who's there?</b> " An angry orc asked, looking through the slit that opened up, they looked down at Dayle, " <b>Who are you?</b> " They asked, they then looked up pass the three with wide eyes. " <b>Oh shit! </b>" The slit quickly closed, when Dayle and his men turned around, they would see the hooded figures standing there again.<br>
<br>

Suddenly the two guards next to three fell onto their knees dropping their weapons as they held their throats. Two figures came down on the two, pulling wicked daggers out of the necks of the guards. There were now seven of these hooded men, looking at the three. "<b><span style="color: rgb(85, 57, 130)"> Hello, Dayle, it's been a few days.</span></b> " One of them stepped forward, his robes were black as well, but he had red outlines on the ends of his robes, his dagger had old blood stained on his dagger. " <b><span style="color: rgb(85, 57, 130)">The Red Star's Dog. How was it seeing your previous men be devoured? </span></b>" He asked, having purple eyes glowing under his robes while he revealed his face to Dayle, not that he would probably recognize him at first.<br>

" <b>Oh no.</b> " Sticker gasped a bit. Arthur moved forward just as Orchid suggested he use the crowbar he could conjure to pry open the door. "<b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)"> That's the plan, sweetheart.</span></b> " Arthur conjured the crowbar into his hand, he looked inside, not really being able to see anything inside. Arthur checked the door making sure there wasn't anything stuck on the door. "<b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)"> Yeah... I should be able to open this up.</span></b> " Arthur made sure to make his weapon physical now, (<b>Spiritual Ordnance: Expert - B - 4 PC) </b>Arthur slammed his bar into the door, he then began to pull on it, trying to pry open the door, he groaned but wasn't able to on his own, he then lowered the bar in the door to try and open it from below. Arthur began to pull on it again, Xix then came over to help, getting on the side of the bar and began to push. Together, the door began to slowly open before it quickly broke open, causing both Xix and Arthur to fall over as the door opened up. The crowbar disappeared as Arthur and Xix stood up.<br>

Upon entering the room, the room would be pretty dim, there was many items within the room, moving through the room there would be a large armor on the bed that was too dark to see, moving through the rest of the room there would be quiet whispering and the sound of something falling over. Moving to the corner where a wardrobe door was open, looking into that direction there would be a figure wearing white. " <b>Damn it, there's nothing here... </b>" The female spoke as she threw a necklace across the room behind her. Eventually as they crept up on her, it would be revealed to be a thief, but just anything. It was Clover, Arthur would recognize her, as would Dayle if he was here. The woman jumped and quickly turned around flinging her chain and kunai at the group. " <b>Fuck! </b>" She yelled, Arthur recognized the voice, " <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">What the hell? Clover? </span></b>" Arthur shouted seeing the woman straighten up. who pulled her attack back. " <b>Oh fuck.</b> " She sighed.<br>

Didn't really have to wait on anyone and the RP was gradually fast compared to the few I've done in the past. Other than pacing, seeing characters interact was my favorite thing to see, Victorique and Arthur's constant arguing, a battle of egos and wit. Dayle handling himself with Lykra and the constant putdowns because of his Red Star association. And Orchid, who is honestly a pretty cool character, fight with Xix and deal with being a newbie in the fighting ring. It was honestly a breath of fresh air, despite being in a very shitty place. One last thing was how much writing there was, there wasn't too much fluff as most things had a purpose to be written down, and everyone gained the maximum amount of points! Thank you all for joining and I hope to see you in Part 2! (Titles will be given at the end of this questline so hold your asses)<br>
