Izanami would find her way through the Underbelly, many whispers on the lips of people of conspiracy of war, the Underbelly was coming to it's end, the champion Auregnog was killed for the sake of another war. Whatever was happening, it seemed more and more people were going to the Colosseum named <i>The Blood Defiance</i>, named after the beloved Champion himself, known for taking on the entire Ryken Royal Guard by himself when they decided to invade over one hundred years ago. As she made her way to the arena to see what was happening, she would see hooded people standing within the crowd as they were near <i>The Bloody Defiance.</i> They were becoming more apparent now. As Izanami made her way through the insane crowd and cheering people, more hooded men were gathered around the entrance, eventually as she got deeper, she would see a whole group of them and one with red seams on his robes, surrounding a eye patched man, and two others.<br>
<br>
Dayle would find himself surrounded by several hooded men as the fighting began in the arena, the crowd cheered and yelled, distracted by the bloodshed in the arena rather than what was happening before them. The hooded man with red seams was smiling at Dayle, his dark yellow teeth revealed to him. "<b><span style="color: rgb(85, 57, 130)"> Hello, Dayle, it's been a few days.</span></b> " The man held his dagger that was stained with old blood, the metal was rusted on it, but the weapon was still sharp and deadly. " <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. The hooded figures didn't move any closer to Dayle and his two men but they did surround him so he had no place to go. They would most likely kill any of the three if they tried to leave, their blades were also dripping a strange black oily substance from the edge of their blades. Maybe a poison. " <b><span style="color: rgb(85, 57, 130)">How about you get that door open for us, Dayle.</span></b> " He grinned.<br>

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 standing up looking at the group, " <b>Arthur? Of course, you're fucking here. I should have killed you when I had the chance. </b>" Arthur shook his head staring at the woman. "<b> I thought you were going to join the academy and stay with your boyfriend. </b>"<br>

Clover looked away and huffed, "<b> Rudy? That ignorant sack of too big for his britches? Rudy, the guy that everyone just adores and likes? </b>" She mocked, " <b>No. He likes that blonde bitch anyways that you hired. Damn harlot. Not like she's a prize. And he is just some tool who thinks he is too cool for everything.</b> " Arthur rolled his eyes, " <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">Rowan is her name. </span></b>" Clover stared daggers at Arthur, " <b>Whatever her name is.</b> " She then squinted her eyes, puckered her lips, and deepened her voice. " <b>oh, uh, no I'm too cool for anything. I'm too cool to say words. How about I just kick your ass, actually, I'll just slap it because I'm Rudy. </b>" She then straightened up. "<b> I'd rather freeze his cock and snap it off like a icicle. </b>" Clover crossed her arms. Arthur stared at her and looked around them, " <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">So you resort to coming to the Champion of the Underbelly's room? </span></b>" He asked with a hint of doubt. " <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">Seems like a stupid idea. I didn't think you could take a breakup so badly.</span></b> " Clover then growled, with angry eyes. "<b> No. I got hired! Again.</b> " Arthur raised his own brow. "<b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)"> To kill or make the champion disappear?</span></b> " Arthur asked. Clover looked offended, " <b>Uh, no! I would never do that to him, I would just steal from him which is what I'm doing. </b>" Clover looked at his companions with shifty eyes, untrustful to the Orc that could smash her and the small child with them. " <b><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255)">Who's the kid, Arthur?</span></b> " She pointed out.</div>

Orchid was naturally suspicious of this stranger in the champion's room. Though she didn't seem to have the make of an assassin, though perhaps her disarming personality was just a means to get the drop on her targets. Thus, Orchid made it a point to keep her polaxe ready in hand, in case this stranger was going to try anything. However it would seem that this thief was no stranger to Arthur. Seems like they had some history together. And while they threw verbal barbs at one another, it doesn't seem like they're actively hostile. <br>
<br>
This woman was named Clover, and she was a thief for hire. Paid to rob the champion, and has some connections with folk at some academy. Says she's not responsible for the champions dissapearance, which could be a lie, but it's also reasonable she's just here to plunder. After all, that's what Orchid was here to do to. However since she's formally contracted to protect Victorique, looting will have to wait for now. Orchid should try to help with this investigation and start asking questions. <span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">"Hey there. Name's Orchid, guessing you're not here for house keeping. I know we're strangers, but I think we can work something out together. Professional courtesy. You're looking for something, and we're looking for someone. Let's work together so we both get what we want without having to get in each other's way." </span>As a geasture of good faith Orchid lowers her poleaxe, though she still makes a point to stand between Clover and Victorique. She didn't get too close to Clover, understanding that they aren't quite chummy enough to be in close contact, but Orchid wanted to show that she was being earnest about cooperating. But at the same time Orchid was letting Clover get a better look at the Ork so she could see and recognize that Orchid is a warrior, through-and-through.</div>

Victorique wasn't sure who Clover was, but she made an even worse first impression than Arthur, which was saying something. From what she'd been doing here, it was clear she was looking for something that she thought to be in the champion's possession, but that she failed to find it. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“It seems like you failed basic education. 'The kid' here is called Victorique and isn't a kid, but a halfling.”</b></span> She replied, glaring at this 'Clover' person. She really wished she could test out that contract she signed and sent Orchid after her, or to at least threaten to unleash the Orc upon her. Sadly enough, Orchid herself wanted to play nice, which made it pretty difficult to use the Orc to threaten Clover without looking foolish.<br>
<br>
However, she was a bit shocked when Arthur straight up asked if this Clover was involved in getting rid of the champion. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“You think this person is either strong or foolish enough to deal with the champion?”</b></span> That was about the highest praise or the biggest insult someone could give someone in the Underbelly, from what Victorique had gathered. She wondered which of the two options applied here.<br>
<br>
She then turned to Clover. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“How'd you get in here anyway? This place should've been firmly locked and watched by the Blooded Guards... Oh, and while you're at it, you might as well tell us who you're working for. It'll save everyone a lot of trouble.”</b></span> Whilst she wasn't going all out just yet, she did throw in a bit of [Persuasion E] to see if this Clover was susceptible to the idea of working along without causing a ruckus. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Besides, it's clear for all to see that you're not finding whatever you're here for, so you're not going to be making your employer happy either way. Might as well take a shot at dealing with us instead.”</b></span><br>
<br>
As she was talking with Clover, she glossed around the room and clicked her tongue. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Might've already messed up some evidence...”</b></span> She mumbled to herself, as she started to check the place. This time, she was going all-out, using her [Ultimate Detective] to go through the room. Anything that could tie back to the champion's vanishing or to what he'd been up to just before his vanishing was of interest. <br>

<span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">"Boss!"</span> Called out Zeke as he and Roy backed up towards Dayle ready for battle. Dayle turned around only to see the hooded figures have increased, and the guards who had been stationed around are dead. They were heavily armored too, so the only way they could've died was through assassination. That meant these people were no joke. A vein popped on Dayle's head as he remembered who these people were. There were limits to how much he could handle, and these bastards was one of the limits.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"You fuckers..."</span> Dayle growled, his sneer showing his gritted teeth. He cracked his neck and prepared himself. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"You know, I thought the day I'd get to throw down with you guys would be much later."</span> He then cracked his knuckles and checked his chains, before continuing. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"But who would've thought I'd get a chance in this moment."</span> Zeke prepared his fists and Roy drew his saber. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"You want in? You'll have to get past me, first."</span> Dayle declared and punched his fists together, the clang of chains ringing.<br>
<br>
At this moment, Dayle looked as if he was fired up and ready to brawl, but his mind was already cranking in an attempt to find a way out. Although he could let these lunatics in, the Red Star also abhorred lunatics like this people. Uncivilized and barbaric, they were the exact kind of people that would be put in the hitlist when crossing against a Red Star. If anyone finds out that he let them in, his reputation would tank, and he'd be in for big trouble. What's more was the blades the lunatics wield. They were dripping with an oily substance, and his instincts are telling him to not let those get inside his system.<br>
<br>
He was either going to stand his ground and risk losing his life, or try his damnedest to get inside and hold out in there instead. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Zeke! Make as much noise as you can!"</span> Without hesitation Zeke cupped his hands in front of his mouth, raised his head, and hollered his lungs out. <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">"AEEEEEEIIIIIOOOOUUUUHHHLOLOLOLOLLO!!"</span> Roy flinched a bit from his proximity to Zeke, but nonetheless kept his focus. If he can't stand his ground or get inside, then he'll have to get external help. With all the cheers inside, there was little possibility of catching the attention of anyone. But it was much better than dying like dogs. <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">"SOMEBODY, ANYBODY, HELP!"</span> Though he never thought Zeke was going to be this much of an asshat, that even he felt second-hand shame. Without missing a beat, Dayle unfurled his chains and started his assault. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Let it rip!"</span> He yelled, before lashing against the nearest lunatic (<b>Catch 'Em Lackin</b>). Meanwhile, Roy immediately slashed at the nearest lunatic (<b>Basic Swordmanship</b>). <br>
<br>
If they ever get out of here alive, they'd have to trouble Old Man Bartins after this.<br>
<br>
<u>Abilities Invoked:</u><br>
<b><i>Dayle</i></b><br>
[CD | 1 Post]<b> <u>Catch 'em Lackin</u>: Fighting Style [Bonebreaker] E, Chainz [Flexible] F</b>| Dayle flourishes his chains, making it unclear when or where the next attack would come next, before striking wildly. If an opponent is caught off-guard, Dayle can potentially disarm or trip them.<br>
<br>
<b><i>Red Star Crony [ Roy ]</i></b><br>
[CD | 0 Post]<b> <u>Basic Swordsmanship</u>: Fighting Style [Windrider] F, Swiftness [Accurate] F</b>| Their skill in swordsmanship allows them to hit foes faster than themselves, and thus have an advantage over similarly skilled opponents.<br>

<div style="max-width:100%; height:650px; padding:5px; overflow:auto; border: 1px solid;"><div class="bbcode-border" style="border: 3px double black;"><span style="font-size: 15px"><i>If Izanami Valentine were going to ever be perfectly honest with herself, it would not be in this particular moment.</i><br>
<br>
Having wandered quite a way into the underbelly of a literal criminal empire, one might think an uninitiated individual would be a <i><b>bit </b></i>more concerned for their immediate safety whilst wandering the same grounds where, say, more than a <i>few people</i> have <i>probably</i> been violently shanked to death. Or something along those lines. No, she wasn't so bold as to go chasing some grand conspiracy involving this Auregnog individual, nor was she inclined to do so out of justice, a personal stake, or even by her normal whimsies in this particular situation.<br>
<br>
The grand reason for Izanami's fearlessness when waltzing into the proverbial lion den was, as the snake held her flowerpot, <i>ignorance.</i><br>
<br>
If you'd think then, that when she'd looked up mid sunflower-seed-packet-examination to notice a crowd had built up within the arena proper - nearby the small local vendor she'd visited - she'd be reasonably confused by the scores of people making so much <i>noise. </i>She clicked her tongue in irritation, carrying her plant from the booth's table as her eyes followed the tide of men and women alike. It really was <i>exasperating</i> these days, how people herded up like <i>sheep.</i> She wasn't even doing anything this time, she was just <i>standing</i> here, completely minding her own buisness right next to this giant arena she was next t-</span><br>
<br>
<i>Wait a minute.</i><br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1657483990580-png.1000928/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/938/938058-9e16b1295ec023c158027432d8bbe5d5.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1657483990580.png" title="1657483990580.png" width="100" height="102" loading="lazy"></a><br>
<br>
Izanami took a moment to actually look at where the inanely cheering and jaunting crowd went towards and saw a, frankly, very beautifully designed doorway into a blood-sporting coliseum. She blinked.<br>
<br>
<span style="font-size: 15px"><i>Was she lost?<br>
No, no. She meant to be here. There was that thing with the champion guy. Yeah. Yes. Absolutely.</i></span><br>
<i>And those strange, hooded figures moving towards the arena's entrance. Perfect. That, if nothing else, was probably some kind of lead.</i><br>
<br>
Collecting herself (and her flowerpot), Izanami strangled that twinge of embarrassment she'd felt under her thick veil of nonchalance and stepped towards the front, bearing witness to a display she had astutely guessed - some poor man was being ambushed. Probably mugged. Truly, a sad, if not somewhat regurgitated tale of being at the wrong place in the wrong time. Surely this man would go on to swear his life to get revenge, become some sort of nocturnal vigilante, and die by getting his head crushed in with a brick.<br>
<br>
Instead, one started flailing some kind of chain weapon, the other slashed wildly out with a sword, and the last one started screaming <i>bloody murder.</i> Izanami let out a faint hiss, wincing at the volume. She'd have thought he'd been stabbed, or maybe in labor with a shriek like that. Either way, by <i>God</i> was it violent. She hadn't even come here for things like that, and - yet again - here the chaos reigned all the same.<br>
<br>
To their defense, however, Izanami inferred they were easily outnumbered. With the arena distracting any other residents, and her <i>inherent doubt a non-corrupt law enforcement existed in this place,</i> that had left them with one option. The kindness of strangers - or, maybe, their psychopathy?<br>
And, how fortunate! Izanami was a stranger, <i>and</i> she was nearby, <i>and</i> she was quite malevolent! Or was it <i>benevolence?</i><br>
<br>
<span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="color: rgb(220, 20, 60)">"Both are equally valid," </span><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255)">Izanami decided with a chuckle. </span><span style="color: rgb(220, 20, 60)"><i>"And I am bored, anyways."</i></span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255)">With as thin a moral justification as tissuepaper, one of the hooded individuals at the back - whomstever was the immediate closest to Izanami - would find her hand reaching in an attempt to strike the back of their head and push her palm into scalp and skull alike. If it were successful, Izanami made to slam their face into the ground with a laugh, her inhuman level of force aiming to smash bone and brain matter as a wet slurry on the floor </span></span><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255)"><i>(Would you kindly get off my lawn?)</i></span></span><span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255)">. <br>
<br>
If any purple eyes stared back at the sudden interference, they would see two red ones - serpentine and predatory - pair with a forked smile of someone who might just be even more of a psychopath than the lot of them.</span><br>

The cultists did not react to Dayle's threat besides the main head, he even gave Dayle a smile, " <b><span style="color: rgb(85, 57, 130)">You're not tough, Dayle. Deep down, you're fearful of what I can do to you and your little sycophants here.</span></b> " He raised his large dagger up for him to see it, " <b><span style="color: rgb(85, 57, 130)">Your little group will be next, what are they called? Ah, doesn't matter. You'll all be dead soon. You may have taken the Academy's Prototype away, but you don't have the help of that Mimic now.</span> </b>" He twirled the dagger in his hand until Dayle's helper, Zeke began to yell, now garnering everyone's attention. Heads twisted over to their direction from the current fighting going on in this small area. The head cultist sighed deeply, one of frustration. " <b><span style="color: rgb(85, 57, 130)">You should not have done that.</span></b> " His voice grew quieter as his face darken and grimaced; his eyes moved to Zeke just as he finished his hollering. Just as Zeke finished, he would let out a heavy breath and a pained gasp. A large dagger had stabbed through his stomach, long enough to stick through his abdomen as his blood mixed with the strange oily liquid. Zeke would be lifted up by a hooded cultist before tossed to the side on the ground, clenching his stomach just as the chaos started.<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1657681048011-png.1001651/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/938/938781-988e5d2366544f4a2d54358672629096.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1657681048011.png" title="1657681048011.png" width="100" height="119" loading="lazy"></a><a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1657518292197-png.1001091/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/938/938221-af4d2f7a8ab0579c0ca241a164f123b5.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1657518292197.png" title="1657518292197.png" width="155" height="100" loading="lazy"></a><br>​</div>Then the screaming and yelling happened, the cultists immediately began attacking randomly, killing and slashing the spectators of the arena. The guards that were even assassinated rose up to their feet, their eyes glowing purple underneath, they groaned and growled under their helmets, they began attacking civilians at random as well. Blooded Guard made their way to the area seeing what was happening before they got ambushed by more of these hooded men. Easily being taken out by these men, then quickly rise up to their feet with purple glowing eyes and groaning. Quickly the spectators would begin to evacuate. Blood and oil was being spilled everywhere, some spectators began to fight back near Dayle's group, being able to hold their own. Being more advanced in fighting than these hooded men wielding, a few of these hooded men were killed, being slashed, stabbed, bludgeoned or even crushed. Dayle's attack on his first attacker would connect as they attempted to slash Dayle with this vile weapon. More killed civilians would start to rise onto their feet, their eyes purple and whole demeanor changed. Dayle was able to take down the first lunatic, his hood fell off and revealed his face, being one of the same looking men that killed some of Dayle's group a few days prior, they had the same insane look in their eyes and their tongue being ripped out. They stared at Dayle as Dayle had them on the ground. Roy would take out a unsuspecting lunatic that was able to stab Dayle from behind, his sword shoved through his abdomen, his blade sticking out through his chest. Roy would toss the man away as the main head of this attack moved towards the two.<br>
<br>
There was a sudden crush behind them, Izanami would strike the head of a hooded man, a bit too much into stabbing a spectator that was already dead and leaning against the man, she would then crush his head into the ground, blood spilled out of the head and pooled around the floor, their hood now painted red with wet blood. The main head didn't bother look and pointed in her direction as a couple more of these lunatics moved towards Izanami, having their daggers raised at her, covered in a mixture of blood and oil that was turning the dead into undead, having their hands raised as they attacked other living people. Causing more blood to be spilled, more Blooded Guard came as they began attacking the undead spectators. The head honcho of all this walked up towards Dayle, Roy would move to attack him, he slowly lifted a hand up and caught the blade in hand, having a serious look on his face now. He easily pulled the sword from his hands and then proceeded to slam the handle into Roy's head, causing him to fall over. Tossing the blade away he stepped up to Dayle. When Dayle tried to attack, his vision of the man seemed to have blurred because Dayle's chains did not hit him, a hard slam to his chest caused Dayle to fly backwards with great force. Dayle would see before flying through the door was his former friend Zeke, rise up to his feet, intestines hanging from his stomach and out of his back. His eyes glowing purple, head tilted to the side with dead looking eyes, he began to limp away, now fully gone as he attacked the Blooded Guard.<br>
<br>
The Red Star's Bastard Dog would hit the ground as the man behind the door stumbled back into the wall. Dayle's chest would be heavy as he couldn't breath, the air knocked out of him as he felt a sharp pain in his chest. Most likely a rib was broken. The man walked on into the doorway, still holding his oily dagger as he looked down at Dayle. He was about to speak his monologue just as his mouth opened up when he was pulled back and thrown away by a bloody rope. The man was thrown far into a wall that should have killed a man, Dayle would watch him hit it and fall like a corpse, a large crack in the wall about one hundred feet away. Lykra then showed herself. " <b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">Well shit, Dayle, I expected more from you. </span></b>" Her hand held a stream of blood that dissipated, she turned as she saw the girl Izanami taking on two of these hooded men, she pulled out her sword and made her way over, slashing one down from behind and stabbing the other from behind in their throat. She quickly pulled her blade out looking at izanami, " <b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">You can hold yourself very well. </span></b>" She complimented, " <b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">You best move, get into the Warrior's Respite, the broken door over there- </span></b>" She cut herself off when she turned to the side and brought her hand up, catching a spear by it's blade as one of the turned large guards attacked her, their helmet missing that revealed their undead and decaying face. Lykra pushed back and quickly moved forward, stabbing her blade into the chest of the undead knight, she would continue her onslaught and dodge attacks. " <b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">Hurry! Go! </span></b>" She yelled at the snake woman, more Blooded Guard were appearing as the entire arena was just fighting in the stands. Guards and spectators versus the hooded men and undead they were creating. In the background, the red cloaked man stood up, cracking his head in place as he began walking towards the fight again. In her fighting, she yelled over to the orcish doorman, " <b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">Get a new door up now, Devern!</span></b> " She roared, the orcish doorman rose up quickly, disoriented from being hit with Dayle. He began to rebuild a new door from the concrete on the ground. Roy would get up, having blood run down his head and make his way into the room.<br>
<br>
When Izanami saw this as a lost cause and very dangerous, she would move into the entrance to the Warrior's Respite, the second safest place here. When she got in, the orc, Devern, crafted a concrete door from the floor and pushed into the doorway, he held it there, "<b> Get going you lot.</b> " He growled, "<b> Be careful, I've been hearing noises down there.</b> " He told them. Before them was a stairwell that they would walk down.<br>

Arthur heard Victorique's smart ass comment, he turned his head to her but did not take his eyes off of Clover, he knew what she was about. " <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">I'm giving her the opportunity to tell the truth here. Got to give people the benefit of the doubt, if she is capable of getting in here, she should be capable of killing or kidnapping or whatever with the champion.</span></b> " Arthur knew of Clover's abilities. He had seen some of her abilities first hand, he knew what she could do. Clover only stood there with her hands crossed in front of her defensively as she looked at the halfling, " <b>Can't tell with that cute little dress you're wearing they make for toy dolls. </b>" She insulted her. Yeah Clover was bad with people, it actually got a chuckle from Arthur. In the darkened room, Arthur could see some sort of strange red tint on the bed that was very dark. " <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">Orchid, the hell is that over there?</span></b> " He asked in a quiet voice. Before she could look, there would be footsteps coming. Arthur turned to Clover, " <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">Don't you move, stay here and answer Victorique's questions, there's only one way out of here and I will shoot you if you run. </span></b>" He whisper yelled at her, having a cold and evil look in his eyes. She looked at Arthur and raised her hands, " <b>Okay, okay. Take it easy.</b> " She sighed looking at Victorique. "<b> Ask your questions, short stack. </b>" She whispered at Victorique as she sighed, showing her disinterest.<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1657518513923-png.1001094/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/938/938224-5ad0098cd8f04d9548e2d11ce1e7c311.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1657518513923.png" title="1657518513923.png" width="100" height="142" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
Arthur moved pass Orchid and hit her on her armor, indicating her to follow him, they had a dark room to hide in and there was a lot to hide behind. As Arthur moved through the room, he crouched behind a desk with a chair pushed in, having him be hidden, there was a stack of books on the desk that gave him further cover. When Orchid found her spot, there was talking, " <b>By the Gods, the doors are open.</b> " A heavy voice spoke with shock, they were heavy footsteps as they further approached the doors, the outside was lit up with torches, two large shadows approached as the door was pushed open easily, then two large heavy knights that had actual clean and good armor walked in, holding a torch, one was carrying two swords on his hips and the other was carrying a large axe on his back, also holding a torch, " <b>The champion was said to be left in here, it seemed someone was able to crack his lock. They must have had a copy of the key. </b>" The other spoke. " <b>Hush. They may still be in here.</b> " The other chastised the other. " <b>We don't need to be surprised,</b> " He would pull out one of his shortswords while holding the torch in the other. " <b>No one can know what's been happening here. </b>" There was the faint sound of yelling and screaming above. "<b> Those damn cultists are doing our jobs up there. Feels terrible not being able to kill these lawless dogs and having those sickos do what we want.</b> " The second growled as he pulled out his axe. "<b> Hush, you fool. </b>" The first growled deeply.<br>
<br>
As the guards spoke, Clover looked down at Victorique, they were far away enough to be able to whisper quietly without being heard. "<b> I was able to move through the lock.</b> " She lifted a hand up as her hand turned into mist, but her hand could still be seen even though it was ethereal. " <b>The lock doesn't work against wraith powers.</b> " She smirked a cocky one. " <b>As for who I am working for, I'm not sure. I haven't seen them, but they are looking for something specific down here.</b> " She seemed reserved on talking about her contractor. " <b>Messed up? I haven't messed up anything, little girl. You could be sold as a little doll for some poor kid that hasn't felt any love. So don't talk to me about messing up anything. </b>" Clover growled quietly.<br>
<br>
During Clover's talking, Victorique would be able to see clearly for a moment once she used her ability Ultimate Detective, but a moment was all she needed, looking through the room, she would see that some of the room looked off, there was a couple of knocked over books on the floor from the desk Arthur was at, some smashed fruit over where Orchid was at and on the bed was a large suit of red armor, placed neatly on the bed. Like someone was laying on the bed, pristine looking armor, although their placement was off, it looked like this armor was placed here rather quickly as the bed had been messed up a bit. But the armor was sprawled out a bit too, like someone was wearing the armor- this was him. This had to be the champion. This was Auregnog, laying before them. His gauntlets had blood on the knuckles, so he put up a fight but... How did he lose? Without anyone knowing or him bringing the place down? He was defeated in this very room, the man that was said to have defeated an entire army on his own. If Vicroique was to say anything about it, Clover would quickly grab her and pull her out of view with her hand over her mouth. "<b> Don't move. We don't need these men finding us. </b>" She whispered.<br>

Orchid was a bit disappointed that Cover didn't seem to pay any attention to her, but she supposed that it would also work in her favor. If Clover was to do anything, Orchid was now within range to strike her down. Though it doesn't help that Victorique is being less than affable, Orchid made a mental note to talk to her about trying not to be so aggressive with others. Maybe work out a good cop/bad cop routine so Orchid could handle being uncouth and aggressive, and let Victorique come off as far more polite and approachable. But before Orchid could discuss the dynamics, Arthur spotted something. Shortly after came footsteps. Heavy, armored footsteps, much like what Orchid sounds like whenever she's moving quickly. Someone was coming, perhaps guards? Either way, everyone needed to scatter. Arthur patted her armor and showed her somewhere to hide, and Orchid nods and got into position. She chose to hide somewhere dark next to some weapons and armor. Nothing immediately useful to Orchid, but she could hopefully hide herself here easily enough, more so in the dark. She had her poleaxe in hand, ready to spring out.<br>
<br>
Soon everyone was hidden away and two armored figures came in. Orchid didn't recognize them. They didn't look like Blooded Guards. No, it was too clean. Too shiny, almost new. They seemed to be surprised that the room was open so they likely weren't with Clover, but they seem to have expected to have gotten in anyways. Did they have a key? They began talking among themselves. They must be outsiders, but what was going on topside? Orchid could hear some sort of commotion, but she has no idea if it's just the crowd going wild or something much more treacherous. Still Orchid could make some guesses: these two knights are outsiders, having come here to find something in the champion's room. They're aligned with some cult to cause chaos the Undercity, but to what end?<br>
<br>
Either way, Orchid braced herself. She glanced to Arthur, waiting for him to ready his attack. She was ready to lunge out as well, aiming at the guard holding the torch first. She intends to destroy the torch, snuffing out it's flame and cutting off visibility for the knights. She has to be careful however, she doesn't want to endanger Victorique. She's sure that the halfling girl will know how to keep herself out of danger but there's no telling if there's more here. Last thing Orchid wants is for her to be caught by reinforcements or worse, actual guards. Ultimately, Orchid's job is to keep her safe. If that means killing these two strangers, or taking Victorique out of the Undercity, then so be it.<br>

<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Ack!"</span> Dayle was on the ground and clutched his chest. He wheezed and gasped, his head faint from the pain. Cool thoughts blurred in his mind, and after witnessing Zeke's condition, his rage welled up more and more. There wasn't even enough of his attention left to notice a serpentine-like woman coming to either help him or help the chaos. With nothing to vent his anger on, he punched the ground without reserve and raised his head intending to ignore Lykra's help. However, one guy caught his eye. It was Roy struggling to get up. Once again, Dayle was reminded that he was a leader. It was his duty to bring his people back, no matter what it takes. Although he had failed Zeke, just as he failed many, if there was still one more under his wing, he was going to do his damnedest to get them out of here alive. Dayle gritted his teeth and rose to his feet.<br>
<br>
Roy fell on the ground, his vision swimming and senses disoriented from the hit to the head. His arms failed him as he struggled to get up, only to fall down helplessly. The sabre that he was holding before was now gone from his hand, and he was left in a vulnerable position. It was already obvious what was going to happen with him, but he gritted his teeth in spite. He wouldn't fall today, not until his boss says so. Suddenly, he felt his body get pulled into a direction, but the sounds of metal clinking gave him relief as he was dragged out of the battle. It was only a moment later that he realized Dayle had coiled his chains around him, and is using all of his strength to get him, as well as himself, inside the Warrior's Respite.<br>

<br>
Whatever relation there was between Arthur and Clover was an odd one, that much was clear. She still thought his praise was very, very high, if he truly thought this Clover to be capable of killing or kidnapping the champion. As for Clover herself, it seemed like yet another 'fun' introduction. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“We can't all be white and bright flashy thieves, you know.”</b></span> She snapped back. Why in the world the thief was wearing a white garb rather than darker and less noticeable tones was beyond her.<br>
<br>
The noise from outside was rather concerning. It was a bit odd to be whispering about the situation with enemies so close, but Victorique had a feeling this Clover girl would slip away at the first opportunity, so every question she didn't get in right now had a risk of never being answered. The latter suspicion was further proven when Clover went ethereal. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“That's quite an amazing ability.”</b></span> Victorique let it slip with honest awe, although she was smart enough to stick to whisper level.<br>
<br>
She glared back at Clover for the thinly veiled threat. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Such a threat holds little worth here, as I'm pretty sure just about everyone can be sold in this place. However, I recently hired a very scary green lady that'd gladly have you for lunch if you tried.”</b></span> She was more and more happy with the contract she'd made with Orchid. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“So how about we get a bit more constructive instead, right? Why don't you tell me what exactly you're looking for?”</b></span> She didn't expect much of an answer, but it was worth a shot.<br>
<br>
Besides the question, there was one other thing to point out. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Oh, and in case you haven't noticed it yet, we're likely dealing with someone trying to start up a Second Controls war. The timing of the champion's vanishing is too perfect and the information reached the Adventurer's Guild too soon for it to be coincidences. I'm not sure what you thought you signed up for, but if it's any less than getting dragged into an all out battle between the Underbelly and the royals, you should probably reconsider. Besides, what you're on right now sounds exactly like the type of job where you get the regular acts of cleaning up lose threads and where a set-up and backstabbing are likelier than a payday for thieves such as yourself.”</b></span> Considering Arthur seemed to somewhat trust and respect this Clover, Victorique figured she'd actually put a good amount of effort into trying to convince her to cooperate, using her [Ultimate Argument E] to add some convincing power and weight to her previous words. <br>
<br>
At the very least one thing seemed confirmed. The Champion was about as dead as everyone said he would be. She really wanted to investigate the corpse more, to see if she could find out how he'd been killed, how long he'd been dead for, what kind of weapons had been used, etc. However, she was halted by Clover. As much as she hated to admit it, the thief had a point. Now wasn't the time to further investigate. <br>

<div style="max-width:100%; height:650px; padding:5px; overflow:auto; border: 1px solid;"><div class="bbcode-border" style="border: 3px double black;">Bone shattered with the weight of her attack blowing a man's head into dust. She'd even got two with a splash of blood stretched across her hand, eyes widening and lips <i>curling</i> in momentary disgust. Because, seriously, it was disgusting! Eugh.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(220, 20, 60)">"Now there's blood all over my dress." </span>Suffered she, shaking out her wrist with a muted sigh, only glancing away when she'd appeared to draw the attention of quite a number of other cultists. <br>
<i>Well, it wasn't a surprise, she did go out of her way to greet herself.</i><br>
<span style="color: rgb(220, 20, 60)">"Oh?" </span>Izanami drew her hands into her sleeves, the exasperation on her face instantly switching to a ravenous, forked smile with a tilt of her head. <span style="color: rgb(220, 20, 60)">"Oh, I'm sorry, did I interrupt your little <i>shakedown</i> there?" </span>She chuckled.<span style="color: rgb(220, 20, 60)"> "Oh dear, you <i>must</i> forgive me - I just couldn't help myself."</span><br>
<br>
<i>All those knives, and yet, you are still nothing but prey. Making yourselves look larger and much more dangerous and so much stronger than you <b>really</b> are.<br>
A predator has no need for making itself known. It is a predator all the same</i>.<br>
<i>And I am a <b>predator</b> in this world.</i><br>
Drawing her hands free from her sleeve, Izanami's fell at her side, fingers raked and curled as both her eyes constricted, the calm and collected demeanor she'd made - almost flippant, even - changing for something more manic, ready to get swept away with the chaos as she took a step forward towards the two men, ready to meet blade with the advent of her pure fists.<br>
<br>
<i><span style="color: rgb(220, 20, 60)">"But don't you worry. <b>I'll send you to meet th-</b>"</span></i><br>
<br>
The sound of steel ringing twice brought her senses back, confusion initially registering over a surface level of shock at the two men getting slaughtered by Lykra. She stared at their bodies as they fell, then looked back up to her with a long, tense period of silence. Unreasonable violence demanded that she make her effort to kill the woman for interrupting her bloodlust, but proper reason won the day when she'd actually heeded Lykra's words and glanced at the arrival of quite a number of force and the imminent chaos breaking out around them - what with some spectators swinging around their own severed legs as bludgeoning weapons. <br>
<br>
She wasn't without reason - obviously, the woman wanted to help her, which means she probably wanted her help elsewhere, and in the context she was helping Izanami in, probably in killing something else that wasn't a crowd of elite soldiers Izanami wasn't foolish enough to assume she could take. <i>Yet.</i><br>
The violence would continue somewhere, nonetheless,<br>
and to be frank, she had a <i>lot </i>of pent-up frustration for having scoured hours with no success in her flower-ventures, so some stronger foes would be <i>lovely </i>right now.<br>
<br>
Finally breaking the silence after her mental assessment, Izanami <i>pouted</i>, for all the incredulity that it earnt.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(220, 20, 60)">"Oh, <i>fine</i>,"</span> She waved a hand idly by her side, waltzing towards the door in dismissal for all the basal fear she should probably have (honestly, it was even weird for Izanami to adjust to her new emotive state, or more accurately, her severe lack of one).<span style="color: rgb(220, 20, 60)"> "If I <i>must.</i>"</span><br>
<br>
Picking up her flowerpot, she stepped over the bodies she'd produced and entered the Warrior's Respite, her serpentine, red eyes moving from the orcish Devern to the crash-like entrance of Dayle and Roy. They leered onto them somewhat intimidatingly, silently judging them by the initial impression so many falls victim to in the silent monotony of life. Izanami made no attempt to hide her own vexed, if transient interest, and looked dismissively away once her assessment was finished - walking down each step of the stairway with a repeated clack of her heels.<br>
<br>
She made no mistake, however, a small smile flickering onto her face. That one with the eye patch had been baptized by battle. <i>Sacrifice.</i> <br>
<br>
<i>How interesting.</i><br>

<hr><span style="font-family: 'courier new'"><span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)"><span style="font-size: 18px">Dreams were ephemeral and strange, always managing to produce more questions than answers. They told stories of the past, the future, and the present...of those whom walked the earth and those whom had left it. Why were his of leaving it? had he died already and this dream was really a nightmare? Forever floating in a stew of nothingness and regretful memories? He couldn't feel anything and yet he knew he was flying through some sort of empty space. What he could make out was mere flashes, some sort of gunfire followed by the scream of a girl. There was a feeling of being slow, too slow; for what? More flashes left him suddenly wracked with incredible pain.<br>
<br>
He screamed, yet only silence followed.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #fba026"><span style="font-size: 18px">A transformation occurred, a change of matter as he fell into a different world entirely. His dream filling with memories of a him he was becoming like a cocoon transmogrifying. Flesh became scale and his whole world suddenly was changed. This had to be a dream his desperate mind conjured up all the while he drifted off into death...right?...<br>
<br>
A rock in the road caused him to awake, memories obscured, but somehow dreams had become his reality. There was barely any light to speak of, but he could see the bluish tint of his scaled hands. fragments of training, beat into his entire body. There was too much to try and piece together, and the wagon he found himself in was more pressing. He was in a cage being moved on wheels, rocking him back and forth and making solid footing difficult at best. He toiled with his chains for a moment before realizing he was not alone in this cage, others strewn around in shaded temperance. <br>
<br>
"<b>Ah suppose this ain't hell</b>" His voice rumbled in his barreled chest, though it had no aggression. He chuckled and shook his head, vibrating the air around him from his bellied laugh, toward the irony of his situation. He steeled his outburst and chose to look toward where this carriage was going. It was difficult to deafen the sounds of The Arena. He knew one by it's smell and blood was thick in the air the closer they got. It had only been a day since he awoke in an alley of The Underbelly; unfortunately, during A leatherguard meeting. <br>
<br>
"<b>Ah don't like fightin' fer no reason, but if it gives us a chance ta get outta here. We should take it"</b><br>
<br>
If there was a chance for him to use the gifts he had been given to get out of here, then he was going to take it. He had to, he couldn't shake a sense of persistence. A reason not to die, and just because he couldn't remember it didn't mean it wasn't there. He leaned his head back against the bars and chose to instead listen to his surroundings. Whispers of cultists and murder, was this connected to the blooded guard? There wasn't much he could do for the time being. If there were escapees supposedly breaking from the arena; there was hope. He prepared for the fights ahead, the strength in his legs allowing him the closing distance he needed to do his best work. <br>
He just didn't want to 'use' his best work if he didn't need to. He had a bad feeling he wouldn't have much of a choice coming up soon. <br>
<br>
He reached a chained hand up and gave a strange, but comforting shoulder pat to the nearest slave to him. He could remember one thing he cared about, and that was the downtrodden. <br>
"<b>Ah don't give a damn about no arena, ah'll keep ya safe. Folks gotta stick together, and ahm good at putting asses in the dirt</b>" He boomed with a hearty laugh, clapping his new friend's shoulder a <i>little </i>too heartily. </span></span></span></div>

<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1658194105191-png.1003534/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/940/940664-de9b779c3e5bda46ddab4db84f0f1a59.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1658194105191.png" title="1658194105191.png" width="178" height="100" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
Tall buildings spired into the compressed sky that was the ground, the overcity of Ryken just above the very ground that was over them, hard to believe this place never got light yet it was so easy to see around here. The wheels of a carriage screeched as they rotated, the voices of gang members filled a road as the carriage continued moving, making its way towards its destination, making its way towards The Bloody Defiance, the arena where people bet blood money and where contenders sought, fame, fortune, revelry or death. The cheers could be heard from where the carriage was at, but then slowly they would change into screaming and yelling. The carriage that slowly creaked by had a couple of slaves pushing it from the front, two large, chained slaves that were strong, their bodies littered with scars. Resembling orcs, they pushed their way towards the screaming and yelling. On the carriage was a cage, that was crudely nailed down, where in the back sat a few more slaves, five to be exact. Wirejaw would find himself within this cage, chains on his hands that connected to his feet, looking around he would see a few other slaves, three across the carriage were human, elf and human. These three wore rags, they looked sickly and weak so couldn't put up a fight.<br>
<br>
Next to Wirejaw he would talk to a bigger man than the three that were sickly looking, he was capable, he looked pretty out of place on this carriage, he had the look of a killer. As Wirejaw explained that he would keep the man safe, he looked at the lizard with a raised brow, " <b>I don't think you understand the situation,<i> friend.</i></b> " The man had a rough voice but one that had experience behind it, one of a killer. " <b>The arena will chew us up and spit us out, literally. And with these Leatherguard bastards escorting us, we are most likely in for a rude awakening.</b> " He moved his chains to cause a short ruckus. The man looked at Wirejaw, "<b> Name's Vido. Good to meet you, you seem like a capable fighter with your size. May want to get ready.</b> " Vido said silently just for a large metal stick to hit the cage, " <b>Quiet back there! </b>" A man wearing brown leathers yelled from the front. Vido looked over at the front then back ahead of him with an unimpressed look on his face. <br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1658205041490-png.1003662/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/940/940792-e5f9cc082e2e483520e57d42ad40166e.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1658205041490.png" title="1658205041490.png" width="100" height="134" loading="lazy"></a><br>
Vido​</div><br>
The Leatherguard, they weren't strong on their own, but they had numbers, and their numbers overwhelmed. There was two on the front of the carriage, in the back there was about five more, making eight. "<b> Get ready.</b> " Vido was looking around them, on the rooftops of the nearby buildings. He took a deep breath and exhaled as he sat back in his seat. " How much we getting for this haul? " One of the men up front spoke, Vido turned his head to listen in quietly. "<b> Eh, give or take about... five hundred gold, with that oversized lizard back there and the Divees gang member, we are getting a big overhaul. I like Dauntra will be happy with the outcome we have come out to. </b>" The other spoke, " <b>She may even let us keep a small percentage of what we make off these poor lives. The Blooded Guard love their fodder for the Bloody Events they have daily.</b> " The two began to laugh at the mention of it. Vido then turned his head back. " <b>If you get the chance, be sure not to run or do anything.</b> " Vido whispered to Wirejaw. " <b>Trust me. </b>" The man spoke, looking at the large Lizard. <br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1658202821318-png.1003633/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/940/940763-5d6e434c825f5a55058e676116254a95.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1658202821318.png" title="1658202821318.png" width="194" height="100" loading="lazy"></a><br>
(Leatherguard Garb)​</div><br>
As soon as the two up front stopped laughing, an arrow came whizzing through the air and hit the first man in the shoulder, stabbing through the shoulder and into the chest of the man, he cried out as the carriage stopped. Holding his arm, not sure what to do, the other was just as surprised and quickly jumped off, " <b>It's an ambush! - </b>" He was cut off as an arrow flew through the back of his head and out his mouth, blood splattered out and the corpse fell onto the ground. The six that followed from behind quickly scrambled away from the open area, but just as quickly as they spread out, they were ambushed from the darkness by men with crude looking weapons. The Leatherguard were quickly attacked, these men began defending themselves against regular looking men. A smaller woman came running up to the cage, a bow and quiver full of arrows on her back, having a lockpick in her hands as she began to work on the lock, the slaves looking excited, "<b> Took you long enough, Lunes.</b> " Vido sighed, " <b>I was beginning to think you weren't coming for me. </b>" The man spoke. The woman looked up, she was pretty; blond hair, green eyes, small lips and had a feisty look to her, " <b>Shut it, Vido. You were the one that got grabbed when you were passed out outside the tavern.</b> " The woman had ferocity on her lips and a defiant tongue, she wore a tattered and dark cloak that would hide her if she was in the shadows. The lock then clicked and was quickly tossed away from the door, the cage opened and quickly the slaves jumped out, letting this Lunes work their locks and quickly free them. <br>
<br>
As soon as they were free, they began running away, back into the place known as The Underbelly. When Vido hopped out, Lunes worked her magic and got the chains off him as he rubbed his wrists, making his way into the fight, he ran behind a Leatherguard and brought a large and strong arm around his neck, lifting him off the ground as one of these gang members began to hit and beat them with a metal baton into their body. As Wirejaw came out, this Lunes helped get his chains off, " Here you, big guy. Run along or help us. " She gently placed a hand on his large forearm offering a sweet smile before she made her way up front to free the orcs that were chained to the carriage. There was still some more Leatherguard to be taken down, these people seemed to be a good people, freeing slaves and such. What Wirejaw wanted to do next was up to him. There was still four Leatherguard to be taken down as they fought this small gang. <br>

But as the trio looked around, they would hear the sounds of swords clashing in the next room where an elf was fighting a purple knight with streaks of white on his garb, Dayle would recognize this garb, it was the Ryken Military. The elf was struggling to keep his attacker at bay, being pushed back, farther down the hall there would be a few more of these knights fighting more gladiators, no knight bodies were on the ground. Only gladiators. Almost like it was a purge. The elf was then stabbed through the chest with the sword, being impaled into the wall. The elf grabbed the sword with wide eyes along with blood dripping from his lips and nose. More blood leaked from the wound he had just taken to the chest, the knight brought a fist up into the air then brought it down with force that slammed the elf's head down, creating a cracking sound that sounded like a neck was broken. The Knight pulled the blade out and let the body fall over. <br>
<br>
Turning away from the trio, they made their way farther down the hall, in the room they were in was some older looking armor and weapons that could have been of use, there was even a chain on the wall that was thin enough to hold and use like a whip. Then from behind a barrel in the same room, a small looking goblin came out, only wearing a loincloth as it looked into the other room moving towards the exit when it saw the trio, it jumped and slapped its hands over it's mouth to prevent screaming, " <b>oh gods. Just some underbellyers, whew... </b>" The goblin sounded relieved seeing them. " <b>What are you lot doing 'ere? You shouldn't be 'ere with these Ryken knights roaming around.</b> " He spoke.<br>

" <b>Be careful with your attacks, these are not going to be easy opponents.</b> " He continued as he unsheathed his khopesh that was on his back, looking out to the two approaching knights, looking to Arthur for the go ahead to attack. Arthur stared at the goblin and orc, he knew they may have numbers, but they still should never underestimate their enemies. These two weren't from the underbelly, that much he could decipher. They spoke more diplomatically. Military like. No slang. They had to be from the overcity of Ryken. "<b> Hmm? Why? Whoever is in here will die either way. </b>" The second spoke with overconfidence in his voice. " <b>No one can stand to the might of the Ryken Knights.</b> " He chuckled loudly then it turned into a hardy laugh.<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1658021152651-png.1002816/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/939/939946-2cd60f3e9f449a325c60a43f805a9633.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1658021152651.png" title="1658021152651.png" width="100" height="148" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
Arthur still looked on out around his corner at the approaching knights, looking for any opportunity to strike, but it seemed the knight's companion annoyed him too much. Causing the first to turn around and begin to berate his partner. " <b>Fool! I need you to shut up so we can find out where the intruders are at. </b>" Arthur saw the opportunity. He didn't want to shoot them just yet, they needed to be discrete in case there was more upstairs, they didn't need a commotion and have back up appear. Arthur muttered quietly, " <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">I'll kill these fuckers if it's the last thing I do.</span></b> " Arthur growled as in his hand a baseball conjured out of thin air. <b>(Spiritual Ordnance: Adept - C - 3 PC) </b>Arthur sprinted out of his hiding spot and towards the knight with his guard turned back to him, taking the bat into both hands he raised the bat up into the air and brought it down, slamming the bat into the head of the knight as he fell over onto the ground. Xix saw the opportunity and ran forward into the fight just as the second knight, wearing heavier armor dropped his torch and held his polearm with both hands. Xix swung his khopesh and slapped the spear away before he could attack Arthur. <br>

Arthur began to attack the less armored knight (left pic) with his bat, hitting them over their body as Xix made his way over, leaving the heavier knight (right pic) to Orchid, quickly the less armored knight rolled away and got to his feet, pulling out both swords, swing them to block attacks from both Arthur and Xix, being pushed back. Orchid would come up on the heavier knight, holding a very clean and sharp looking spear towards her. " <b>You animals will be eliminated! I swear it on the Duke!</b> " He quickly stabbed in the air at Orchid, to see what she would do.<br>

(I am pretty sure Elvario left for a trip so i will skip them for now until they get back then give them something if they return sooner)</div>

When the hostilities began, Orchid quickly leapt into action. The man dropped his torch and Orchid was immediately on him, using the superior reach of her polearm to stay on the edge of his spear. But more to the point, she attacked him from an angle she doubts he's used to: from above. Crouching low and springing out fast as an arrow, Orchid was literally above the man a good ten feet. She swung down at his chest with the hammer head of her poleaxe, striking with such force that it would knock a man like him down with ease. But Orchid wasn't quite finished with her assault just yet. When she landed she made sure to stomp on the torch, crushing it beneath her steel boot and put some distance between herself and the armored knight. And with a swift motion, she scooped up the smokey remains  and flung it at his face. The attack itself would have looked as if she was swinging at his neck, but that was merely a feint to get him to try and block the blow, knowing that a cloud of ashes and embers would not be so easily stopped by a spear shaft. Orchid would know this very well, having tried to do that in the past when she was learning how to master her weapon. Her final blow would be a swing at the man's knees, aiming to break his legs and cut down his mobility.<br>
<br>
Orchid needed to make sure to keep Victorique safe, but at the same time Orchid figured that it would be important to keep one of these men alive for questioning. While no one <i>should</i> be here, Orchid has a feeling that these knights have something to do with the champion's disappearance, perhaps coming here to verify or finish the job. Though there was always the possibility that they, like Clover, are here to look for something. Either way Orchid needs to take this guy out and get answers from him. Maybe she can show off some torture techniques if they manage to keep both of them alive, and Orchid can start cooking up one of them. She was a tad peckish since all she's had to eat so far was one of her nut bars. <span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)"><i>"Damn, I could go for some noodles right now. A nice pho or something."</i></span> Orchid thought to herself.</div>

<span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)"><span style="font-family: 'courier new'"><span style="font-size: 18px">He was not good at deceit, as he always preferred honesty as his policy. The surroundings he had been carted through was foreign and he knew he was a stranger, and while he could remember the strange vision that welcomed him to this world...Everything was still unknown and confusing. He found withholding information and lying were not mutually exclusive was fine living in that grey area for the time being. It was better if he just kept 'how' he got here a secret and instead tried to figure out where the hell 'here' was. <br>
<br>
Vido was a rough man, with scarred skin and willful eyes that belied years of cultivated grim experience. Wirejaw felt the sudden irony in his comforting words toward Vido, but didn't regret them. He simply appreciated the measured advice he gave about their situation. A chuckle rumbled in his chest "<b>Good ta meetchya Vido, Names Wirejaw. Ahm capable sure, but between tha both of us we can be a rude awakening of our own, ahm always ready. Hit tha ground runnin'-</b>" A large toothy grin spread across his muzzle, fading when one of the leatherguard barked at them. He opted to remain silent and continued to observe his surroundings as the carriage continued to their blood-stained destination. <br>
<br>
He tuned back in when Vido got his attention; nodding at the mention of being ready. He knew what living was like and this wasn't it. A fight should be well earned, and fighting starving and dehydrated husks was not <i>earned</i>. He couldn't deny a willingness to try these new gifts he's been graced with, and wanted to show these cowards what a well earned fight looked like. He still heeded Vido's warning and wouldn't act until necessary. The odds were in their favor, and he didn't know how many of his fellow slaves were up to fighting standard. It wasn't much longer after that warning did panic suddenly set in as arrows were fired and dropped the two guards in front of the carriage, Wirejaw standing up and shifting toward the cage's get behind Vido. </span></span></span><br>

Ah like 'em</span></span></span></b><span style="font-size: 18px">" He said, surprised by her kindness, but grateful as he nodded and lumbed into the fray behind Vido. He had already made is decision, a conviction he didn't bother explaining to others. He took stock of the situation and saw four possible enemies, all adorned in leather. Lunes felt the sudden shift of air as his body dropped to all fours and launched forward with unexpected speed given his size. He tore across the ground, flipping forward into a roll and swinging a barrage of claw strikes from the gathered momentum at his opponent "<b>Hard ta face a man at his front huh? 'specially when he ain't weak and wollerin!</b>"</span></span></span><br>

Dayle was uncomfortable. One of his men is dead, the other was without his saber, and he was in the company of a complete stranger. One of his rib was broken, he was pretty sure Roy had a minor concussion, and they were trapped inside until this all pans out, someone arrives to help, or he gets out with his own power. Out of all the possibilities, he was in favor of the last one, but was hesitant with the injuries he sustained. The bodies around didn't help with his current situation, and the blood the flowed on the ground only foretold of the battle that had happened. He had no idea if the duo survived the entire ordeal, but for now his priority was his and his subordinate's survival.<br>
<br>
He looked at the worried Roy beside him, who was looking around to find a weapon he could use, then at the woman who had seemed to appear out of nowhere. Her help was very much appreciated, but not knowing her motives was something Dayle couldn't sit with. He couldn't tell whether she helped out of goodness, which was unlikely, or because she had another agenda. Either way, Dayle thought it was a good idea to keep distance.<br>
<br>
His steps halted and he quickly hid his body when he heard sounds of fighting. Roy quickly reacted and crouched down as well without question, before trailing behind Dayle as he inched forward across the corner. From what he could see, the Ryken Military had come down to bring genocidal intent. The bodies earlier may have been their doing, and judging from the way they moved, they were trained and skilled enough to take on gladiators. Seeing the bodies that the knights left behind after the slaughter, his mind began racing. <i><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">A Controls War huh? What bad timing. </span></i><br>
<br>
Dayle wanted to move somewhere else and was about to advise the woman to do the same, when a goblin popped out of a barrel beside him. Dayle almost punched the fucker into oblivion, but managed to keep himself from doing so. He listened to the little fellow, and his faced scrunched. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"It's either the undead outside, or the Ryken Military in here. I don't know about you, but both options seems very not good."</span> Then a thought clicked inside Dayle's head. Undead and Ryken? A very unlikely combination. There's no way they would use such methods to enact a purge, as that would just hurt their image. If so, who the hell is running the entire show? The thought of being played again boiled inside his heart, but he exhaled in addressed the goblin again. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"I'm trying to get to the champion's chamber, but not going that way."</span> He said, pointing at the direction where the Ryken Military just disappeared into. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Just tell me where to go, and you can keep hiding in your barrel."</span><br>
<br>
Roy searched the area for a sword or saber he could use, while maintaining his focus on the current situation.<br>

Victorique's investigation was rudely interrupted again, this time by... knights? What the hell were they doing here? She gritted her teeth. Just as she thought she was going to get some answers from her investigation, just as she thought she could finally get to work on actually going over a crime scene in relatively peace, things just had to get messy again. Was it too much task to just do what a detective did? Just investigate, go over the corpse on the bed, check for cause of death, that kind of stuff. She'd written a lot about it and was sure she could do it all in practice, if it wasn't for the fact that everyone and their mother seemed to plan to hold her back or interrupted her.<br>
<br>
However, why in the world was this latest group the knights? Above all, however, one thing stood out. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Intruders... why in the world are they calling us the intruders?</b></span> She whispered to herself. It was extremely suspicious. Even so, they were knights, so she was technically on the same side as them. It meant that she shouldn't just go in and attack them and that it'd be good if her company wouldn't do so either. Except... her company wasn't on the same page. She watched in horror as Arthur, Xix and Orchid attacked the knights. <br>
<br>
That said, she did get another hint. The Duke. She wasn't sure which Duke, but now she knew who was scheming this, or at least which higher up was playing along with this. Well, not exactly, but there weren't that many Dukes in the country. It narrowed the possible higher-ups that were involved in this all considerably. The fact that the knights were involved also furthered her theory that this was an attempt to start a second controls war. However, two big questions remained. Why were they here right now? The job had been done already, the champion was dead already and it was very late to do a clean-up job. Secondly, why did they call them the intruders? <br>
<br>
That's when it hit her. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“They're still looking for something...”</b></span> She muttered. The same thing that this Clover was after. They must've been trying to keep this room locked away from others, so that they could look through it at their own pace. That'd be a good explanation for why they considered her and her companions to be 'intruders' and it'd explain why they had returned. Then, was the Champion's death not a goal on its own? Was it just something that happened whilst looking for something in his possession? The latter seemed... odd. The Champion's Legacy was big enough for him not to be collateral damage. So was it something that they needed to further their plans, after dealing with the Champion? What could be so important? <br>
<br>
There was one person in this room whom definitely knew more. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“They're after the same thing you were after.”</b></span> She whispered to Clover. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“So now is the time to say what it is.”</b></span> Perhaps, combined with her previous attempt to persuade Clover to work together with them, she'd actually get an answer from the odd thief.<br>

<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1658442590578-png.1004525/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/941/941655-de9b779c3e5bda46ddab4db84f0f1a59.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1658442590578.png" title="1658442590578.png" width="178" height="100" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
Whilst in the fighting unfolding within the streets of the Underbelly, it was just that, another fight within the streets of the Underbelly. A very miniscule and common thing within the confounds of this undercity, in this icon of sin, depravity and sickness. Eventually Vido, the half orc that was 6' 6" let one of the Divees members finish off the Leatherguard he was holding, he threw down the defeated Leatherguard and turned to the next few, one of the Leatherguard was able to get the upper hand on a Divees member who was on the ground, the Leatherguard was about to strike them down until Vido rushed them and tackled into them, slamming them into the ground as Vido helped his fellow member up, turning to the rising Leatherguard, Vido met with them, throwing a punch into their head, knocking a few teeth out of his head. Grabbing the now crying man, Vido lifted them up like a bag of bricks and threw the man down on top of his head, letting out a sickening crunch as Vido moved onto the next. Although Vido looked rather surprised when he saw Wirejaw run pass him on all fours at an unsuspecting Leatherguard with their back towards the now rolling pile of claws and lizard. The Divees gang member saw Wirejaw coming and quickly moved out of the way, "<b> Oh shit!</b> " The human said, confusing the Leatherguard who turned around to see what scared him, but it would be too late once he saw what was coming. A torrent of claws, lizard and strength was steam rolling his way, the Leatherguard would be taken by Wirejaw, being attacked, clawed, scratched and mauled, blood spilled on the ground just as he was then pulled under the weight of the large Lizard that kept rolling. Throwing him under, claws shredded through leather and flesh alike. Screams were uttered for a moment before he was crushed like a bag of oranges. Splattered and broken, only a pile of skin, blood and bone. <br>
<br>

The Leatherguard were taken out with such quickness it was just pathetic. As Vido began walking up to the last man, he would sense two large hulks behind him, turning he would see kin. The two large orcs that were strapped to the carriage were there, coming to kill the remaining Leatherguard, they didn't need any information from the Leatherguard, they just needed to reach the Bloody Defiance and find Arthur then help him, they knew he was going to find the Champion with some sort of halfling. Lunes came walking up the group as the Divees Crew began to meet up, Vido looked at the now bloody Wirejaw, looking impressed, "<b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)"> Very interesting way of attacking, haven't seen that in the Underbelly, and I've seen quite a lot. Anyways, Wirejaw. It was good to have you assist us. We are looking for our new leader at the moment, we are heading for the Champion's Arena, the Bloody Defiance. You want to join us? We could use your help.</span></b> " Vido asked. Which earned a scoff from Lunes, " <span style="color: rgb(26, 188, 156)"><b>Vido? Asking for help? What a strange thing to hear.</b> </span>" The woman crossed her arms, she was petite and agile looking, her current clothing and armor was very light looking, allowing her for dodging and quick movement. "<b><span style="color: rgb(26, 188, 156)"> I doubt he wants to join, he most likely wants to get away from the destruction that is the Bloody Defiance.</span></b> " Screams and yells and roaring could be heard from the Bloody Defiance, there was fighting and killing happening, " <b><span style="color: rgb(26, 188, 156)">We're wasting time, we should go.</span></b> " Lunes spoke out, which the rest of the gang nodded. <br>

"</b> The goblin pointed out. " <b>can i go in my barrel now?</b> " He asked just as there was more fighting ahead, the sounds of metal clanging and grunting of war ahead in this corridor. Roy would be able to find a claymore in the small armory before him, there was also some armor that could fit him too, gladiator armor that looked light but would probably save him from taking a hit. They had the advantage of surprise here, the Ryken Knights didn't know they were here yet. <br>

The captain backed up, being sure to keep up his defense, not faltering once. But finally, when pushed to a wall, he had enough, " <i><b><span style="color: rgb(61, 142, 185)">Abstract Mare!</span></b></i> " He roared, eyes glowed white for a moment as a horse's head, glowing the room for a moment, conjured into the air, slamming into Arthur's chest, Arthur's eyes full of surprise as he felt his feet leave the ground and his chest full of pain as he was casted away from the fight, he saw the horse's head and the knight pointing his sword at Arthur. Arthur would fly through the room, slamming through the canopy of the Champion's bed and hitting the floor with a pained grunt. He groaned and looked up, seeing the canopy collapse on top of the champion. Arthur got up to his feet and ran pass Victorique, Clover and Sticker to join in the battle again, still hurting in his chest and back. <br>

Xix was just fast enough for him to not attack back and only block each of his attacks, especially with his size, the Captain was still stuck, but when a flash of bright light appeared and a horse's head slammed into Arthur, throwing him across the room then disappearing. It was now an even fight. The captain was now swinging both swords, attacking Xix with both swords, who now was on the defensive, Only being able to block attacks and dodge. Xix did parry a sword swing and slash at the captain's foot but it was instead blocked then he was kicked in his chest, rolling backwards on the floor. Xix stopped moving and quickly moved as the Captain came down, stabbing where Xix was originally laying. Xix got to his feet and jumped, dodging a sword slash where he was at. The goblin was very efficient at moving and dodging, the captain kept his onslaught going but was hit in the face with a bat from Arthur. Knocking him backwards as Xix made his way forward again. Arthur's next attack was blocked and he was kicked in his stomach, moving him backwards. <br>

As the action began for Orchid, the knight was ready, his heavy armor was clinking with each move he made and each weapon attack he gave, Orchid's jump attack did not go unnoticed, the knight was able to narrowly block the attack taking a step back, he did then retaliate and bring his spear back and thrusted forward, sinking the tip into Orchid's armor, the tip sliding into her flesh just a bit for her to feel the pain. The knight pulled out just for Orchid to throw hot ash into his face, he turned his head as hot ash slammed into half his face and eye, he growled in pain, quickly wiping it off as he backed up a few steps, throwing a desperate stab into the dark in front of him, thinking Orchid was coming forth. His hit connected with Orchid's stomach as she slammed her polearm into his leg, knocking him down onto a knee, the Knight growled in pain, his spear sunk into Orchid's stomach a bit. The knight then released his spear and charged towards Orchid, grabbing her shoulders and slamming her into the wall, making sure her head hit the wall before she was thrown into desk she was hiding behind originally. Causing more damage and furniture to fall over, making a ruckus. The knight, now half blind, slammed a fist into Orchid's chin, causing her ears to ring for a moment, the knight tackled Orchid to the ground now, getting on top of her, throwing another punch at the Orc, but he wasn't expecting a bat to the side of the head, causing his helmet to fall off and him to get off Orchid, giving her the upper hand. If Orchid looked, she saw it was Arthur who was back to attacking the more experienced Captain. <br>
<br>
As Victorique listened to what they were saying, she heard the Duke, she knew who it was, the history of Ryken's military and the Underbelly was so vast, in the last Controls War there was a once Royal Knight Captain who sent the military to the Underbelly to take it, when they were defeated and pushed back out of this sick city, the Captain was demoted to a Duke, forever tarnishing his name. The name was Vengron, Duke Vengron. His family had to still be feeling sore from this hated act. It would make sense. As Victorique asked Clover about what she was looking for, the thief sighed and looked annoyed, " <b>You annoying little girl... </b>" She mumbled, " <b>Alright fine. I was looking for a heirloom, as it was described, that Auregnog had. And this Heirloom once belonged to some Ryken higher up. I haven't checked the bed yet but now its destroyed.</b> " She mentioned to when Arthur flew through the canopy and destroyed the bed. But there was movement underneath the canopy. The red armor was beginning to stir, Sticker saw and tapped Victorique's shoulder. " <b>Uh... I hate to interrupt you but...</b> " The nervous Siren pointed to the moving bed, as the fight continued in the same room.</div>

Victorique was a tad bit concerned when she saw Arthur getting slammed across the room. Okay, maybe she was just a little more than a tad bit concerned. Fine, she was very concerned... In fact, one might even say she was scared. After all, she wasn't all that eager to die here, especially not to these weirdo knights. Their gear was clearly made to be flashy, not to be useful, so how were they actually kind-off strong? It made no sense and she didn't like it. Either way, she took a few deep breaths, strapping her dress on a bit tighter, so that it wouldn't get in the way if she'd be forced to make a great escape soon.<br>
<br>
That said, amidst all this chaos, she'd also gained some useful information from this as well. The only duke that could be behind all this was Duke Vengron. On top of it, she learned what Clover was after, finally getting the girl to cooperate a little bit. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“It must've been Duke Vengron's... assuming he lost it after losing the Controls war, it'd now be in Auregnog's possession, yet with Auregnog dead, he must've sent in his knights to come pick it up...”</b></span> She shook her head. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“I don't get it, if he killed Auregnog, he would've had the heirloom taken immediately after finishing the champion off. The same applies for the party you're working for. So someone or something killed the champion, but wasn't after the heirloom or somehow failed to secure it in time? But which party or what third party...”</b></span> She wasn't able to finish her sentence, as Sticker interrupted them. She'd almost forgotten the Siren was even there with them, having gotten very lost in her thoughts. <br>
<br>
The warning was warranted though, as there was clearly some weird stuff going on. The bed was moving. Well, probably not the bed, but something within the destroyed bed remnants. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“What... the...”</b></span> She swallowed some nerves, expecting some sort of undead Champion to arise or some foul magic to be at play. That's when she gathered herself together enough to focus again. She'd been studying some things, training her skills and whatnot, experiment a little... If this worked, it'd probably make things a lot easier. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“You two get ready. If something big is about to happen, I can warn you a few seconds ahead of time, just be sure to make it count.”</b></span><br>
<br>
She kept a close eye on the bed, until the moment it looked like something big was about to happen. That's when she'd use <b>Ultimate Future Detective</b> to get a head start on whatever was going on, either to dodge or to warn her makeshift allies, depending on what future visions she would end up seeing.

He couldn't help but laugh at this damned idiot, so confident when they were separated by iron bars. Action dictated intent before word or promise and slave driving wollards were all these pitiful men were to him.

<span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">"Tch!"</span> Orchid grunted as she felt the blade break through her armor. She wasn't sure how deeply it cut into her skin, but she knew it wasn't a mortal injury at least. The second blow at least didn't manage bypass her breastplate, but it did stop her from following up after she smashed his kneecap, and even so it was still wasn't enough to prevent him from throwing her to the wall. She hit her head, causing a bit of ringing in her ears. But if a blow to the head was enough to drop her she wouldn't have been a merc. Though getting mounted and punched in the face certainly started giving Orchid some second thoughts. She was able to brace up and stock blocking some hits when she saw something strike the knight and knock his helmet off. It was Arthur! She thought he was busy dealing with the other knight, but nice to see him backing her up. With two against one, Orchid got back onto her feet , reached out and grabbed the knight by the collar of his armor, and she reared her head back to smash her forehead into his face. <br>
<br>
But this was a feint.<br>
<br>
Intentionally aiming from his now blinded side, Orchid made this big all-or-nothing attack to make the knight think he could defend himself by stopping Orchid's head, perhaps push her back or punch her also unarmored head. But while he was focused on Orchid's face, she grabbed the dagger she had taken off Bingus earlier today, and was going to slide it into his armpit. When he raises his arm to strike or stop Orchid's headbutt, she would drive the blade of her dagger underneath his arm. This <i>might</i> kill him, or at least wound him grievously. Either was fine with Orchid. She wasn't so soft that she couldn't take a beating, and being able to take a hit will let her do these sort of reckless attacks without having to worry about getting put down before she can land a blow. <span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">"Stay down!"</span></div>

Dayle sighed, as he already anticipated his answer. He rubbed his aching chest, before eyeing the passageway. He took a moment to think of something, before replying to the goblin. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Go hide in your hole, but I'll take the barrel cover."</span> He took the barrel top and laid it against a stand to prepare it for something else. He then took the hanging chains on the side and wrapped over his shoulder and around his chest. It's not enough to over everything, but he may be lucky enough to deflect some blows. As for the barrel top, it was good enough as a makeshift buckler. It cannot block blows nor is it durable enough to withstand blows. The only thing it's good for is deflecting a single strike away, and that's good enough for him. His gaze then fell on the corpses around him. Without missing a single beat, he grabbed the leg of one of them, intending to throw it at the Ryken Military and disturb their rear flank.<br>
<br>
Roy hastily wore the armor he could salvage, and took the claymore despite his unfamiliarity with such a large weapon. There was no other way. His head is still faintly ringing, but he had recovered enough to not let it impede his combat efficiency. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Prepare, Roy. Watch my back."</span> Dayle commanded, which Roy nodded to as he brought up his claymore.<br>
<br>
There wasn't anything else to think of. This was his only way towards his objective. Dayle took a deep breath, and his eyes once again shone with a fierce glow. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Let's go."</span> With those words, Dayle dragged the body with him, and both Roy and him silently made their way towards the rear flank of the soldiers.<br>

Innocents, in their own ways, there was even a few stragglers from different gangs that the Divees Crewmembers would recognize. Vido scoffed, " <b><span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">Nothing but cowards.</span></b> " He growled out, but cowards they may be but, what they were going to come across, the regular person would have run from as well. Coming up to the entrance of the large arena, the screams, yells and groans were more apparent. At the entrance two Blooded Guards were slumped against the wall, blood flowed onto their chest plates from their slit necks, these were very recent kills. Vido looked to Lunes who shook her head. Vido walked closer to the bodies, taking out a large greatsword that was given to him along the way. When he got closer, the bodies began to move and utter gross sounds of gurgling and groaning, their hands reaching up at Vido who took his blade and stabbed it through their helms, putting the two bodies to rest. He sighed and stepped away, " <b><span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">That fucking cult is here.</span></b> " He growled, just then there was a loud scream, the Crew would look up seeing a falling body of someone still alive, about to be a corpse. Splattering on the ground before the group, blood and gore spread out across the ground before them, it was a Blooded Guard. Looking up they would see a hooded man looking down at them with glowing purple eyes, and the faint sight of yellow grin arched in a grin before turning away into the arena. " <b><span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">And their sick fuck leader.</span></b> " Vido growled deeply. A hand touched his shoulder, it was Lunes, " <b><span style="color: rgb(84, 172, 210)">Calm down, Vido. We still need to find Arthur.</span></b> " In which Vido took a deep breath, " <b><span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">Yes. You're right. Hopefully he isn't one of those things.</span></b> " The Crew would make their way into the arena. <br>
<br>
Walking through corridors and hallways, there would still be escaping Underdwellers, running for safety. On the floor there was bodies of both hooded men now called Cultists, Blooded Guards and civilians, some looked changed somewhat. As they continued, they see there was small fights here and there with Blooded Guards and Cultists, civilians and cultists, also some gang members fighting these cultists. But there were also civilians attacking these other factions except the Cultists, their eyes glowing purple and skin rapidly decaying. Undead. " <b><span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">Great, we got more undead now. </span></b>" Vido had his sword still ready, fresh with blood from the two guards he had skewered. Quickly these undead were overwhelming the other factions but easily were pushed away. Vido slashed one undead that came forward, cutting from its shoulder to side, the top half of the undead slid off and onto the ground, splattering as blood quickly flooded around the still living unliving. " <b><span style="color: rgb(84, 172, 210)">Move! </span></b>" Lunes yelled, "<b><span style="color: rgb(84, 172, 210)"> Up to the upper halls! There's more living up there, we can see if we can find out where Arthur is at! This is a shitshow!</span></b> " She had her bow ready as she fired an arrow at an undead closing in on their flank. The arrow sunk through their skull causing it to fall onto it's face. As the group moved up to the upper halls, there was more living up here, hardly any undead but there was Cultists following after the group. As they were able to come up the hallway, Wirejaw and Lunes were at the back, facing the Cultists with their large carving knives, great for slashing and cutting. Their blades having blood dripping off them along with a strange black oil oozing out of the blade itself. <br>
<br>
" <b><span style="color: rgb(84, 172, 210)">Alright, Lizard, show me what you can do in this situation. </span></b>" Lunes had her bow ready, an arrow at the ready as well, there was currently three hooded cultists coming towards the group, an arrow whizzed by and found it's mark in a cultist's eye socket, causing them to drop dead. They were not afraid to die it seems, they were unflinching towards their death. Vido was opening a way for the group to make their way through the crowd of living. Undead were showing up on the other side, Vido was more than capable of dealing with them on his own.<br>

Not that he looked like much, especially if you're from the Underbelly, that Dayle would know. He quieted down whether he was threatened by the two or when they made their way towards the Ryken Knights. As Dayle's makeshift buckler was made and he began to make his way down the corridor with Roy by his side with his claymore. Ahead came in view a gladiator pushed to a wall, holding a sword as he deflected a heavy strike purposed for their head, the gladiator was a human, wearing plate armor, blocking a few sword swipes from a bigger knight. From behind Dayle there would be the sudden sound of breaking and cracking that was faint and slowly got louder and louder. Before a polearm broke through the walls behind Dayle, a long axe flew through the corridor, slamming through the goblin who was wondering what it was, the goblin's body was sliced in half at his waist. Blood splattered across the floor, even getting on Roy's new armor. The axe flew pass Dayle's head with the sound of waning steel.<br>
<br>
The Ryken knight had turned around hearing the sounds, moving out of the way of the flying axe at the last second, but this axe flew through the shoulder of the knight, slicing through the plate armor of the knight, then flesh. The knight's arm flew off in one sudden act before flying pass the two battling men farther down the corridor and continued it's way. The armless knight backed up a couple steps, his eyes wide with shock and surprise as blood squirted out into the air then onto the ground. The knight stared at his arm then at his shoulder. A moment of silence fell upon the corridor before laughing was heard, then it turned to screaming in pain, the Knight holding his shoulder. Falling backwards against the wall, quickly his face turned pale. Ahead the knight heard the screaming and saw the knight without an arm and the two Red Star members. "<b> What in the ten Hells? </b>" The knight quickly disarmed the gladiator then took off their head turning to Dayle and Roy. Walking towards the two, wielding a sharp sword. The Knight against the wall now dead from quick blood loss, or he was passed out. Either way he would be dead. The knight as he approached was large, he wore heavier armor and a helmet that didn't cover his face, he stared at the two. " <b>More Underdwellers. No... You are Red Stars.</b> " His eyes laid upon Dayle. "<b> The Dog is here. </b>" he said with a hint of malice. " <b>I shall put down the rabid beast. </b>" He growled looking at the two as he pointed his sword at them. It was a two on one, but one had better equipment and better training. This would be a tough fight, but they had a chance. <br>

<b><i>The Champion's Quarters</i></b><br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1658970052459-png.1006420/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/943/943550-b35249b2e0313bb52edd15689ed90596.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1658970052459.png" title="1658970052459.png" width="160" height="100" loading="lazy"></a><br>​</div>" <b>Duke Vengron? I mean that does make sense, his grandfather did lose to Auregnog back during the first Control War. He was the Ryken's Military General. Having won a few wars and remained undefeated. Vengron was quite feared.</b> " Sticker spoke, "<b> Although he lost all respect and credibility when he lost to one single man. Auregnog when he deemed the Underbelly his next triumph. He was then dishonorably discharged and at least given the title of Duke. But they are now a laughable family. It would make sense for the current Duke to try and reclaim his family honor by trying to destroy the Underbelly. </b>" Sticker finished nodding, although when attention came to the bed, besides the fighting by the entrance, the canopy was beginning to fall off the bed as a body rose. <b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">Auregnog</span></b>. His helm and chest plate a strange glow coming from inside. His head twitched erractically every other moment. " <b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"><i><s>i-i-invaders within m-my quarters.</s></i></span></b> " His voice was robotic and deep as he looked in Victorique, Clover, and Sticker's direction. " <s><b><i><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">Destroy all foes. </span></i></b></s>" Then the strange aura turned red, and he emitted a haunting laugh. Something almost demonic like. He lifted his hand up and Victorique would see that a flying axe fly through the room, then into Auregnog's hand as he caught it. He would then get up onto the bed and leap at the three before Victorique would cut back into reality. <br>

<br>
(The laugh Auregnog makes)<br>
<br>
<span data-s9e-mediaembed="youtube"><span><span style="background:url(https://i.ytimg.com/vi/qn4nH9f7v8M/hqdefault.jpg) 50% 50% / cover" data-s9e-mediaembed-iframe="[&quot;allowfullscreen&quot;,&quot;&quot;,&quot;scrolling&quot;,&quot;no&quot;,&quot;style&quot;,&quot;background:url(https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/qn4nH9f7v8M\/hqdefault.jpg) 50% 50% \/ cover&quot;,&quot;src&quot;,&quot;https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qn4nH9f7v8M?start=11&quot;]"></span></span></span><br>​</div><br>
Victorique's warning would ring to the three and even the Champion heard it, Clover grabbed the halfling's shoulder and pulled her behind her as Sticker stayed back knowing she was useless. " <b>Our Champion is living armor?</b> " Sticker asked. Auregnog's axe did as Victorique would see, flying into the room, blood fresh on the blade and mace and into his open hand. He would stand up on the bed and leap at the three, although with Clover ready, even with fear in her heart. She would help the group. Extending a hand out, a sudden wind of snow flowed forward at the leaping Champion, pushing him back into the wall of the bed. " <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">Oh shit! </span></b>" Would be heard from the other side of the room as the captain saw the risen Auregnog. The Champion did not falter as he hit the wall and sprang off the bed making his way over quickly with long strides. He was quick and precise with his movements, raising his axe up then slammed it down through the floorboards as he attemtped to kill Clover but she moved to the side. Pulling the axe out he saw a strike at Victorique and proceeded to ram his axe like a spear at her. Victorique was quickly moved away, and Sticker took her place, having the mace slam into her back as she let out no sound but had a look of shock and pain. " <b>ah.</b> " Was all she muttered, looking at Victorique she was about to say something but quickly her head was cut off her body with a single swipe of the axe. A streak of blood slapped Victorique across her face, just below her eyes. Sticker's head bounced then rolled across the floor in front of Victorique, her eyes wide with fear and shock while she stared into nothingness, her jaw moving a bit as she quickly faded away. Blood pooled around the head just as her headless corpse fell beside her own severed head. <br>
<br>
Auregnog then turned his attention to Victorique, raising his axe in the same motion of him killing the Siren, about to strike down to cleave Victorique into two. But he moved back and jumped away as Clover was about to strike with her chained kunai. "<b> Vicky! Get moving! </b>" The thief told the Halfling, although there was nowhere to really go. They were trapped in the room with the Champion himself and had a fight still going on over by the entrance of the room. But quickly Auregnog would turn his attention to the fighting parties just as Xix in a fit of rage attacked the champion, " You killed her! You fucking killed her you heartless red bastard! " Xix swung his khopesh, he was getting his fight now. Auregnog adjusted and moved wound Xix in a quick fashion that showed his superiority. Doing a 180 spin around Xix and kicking him in his back to launch him forward into Sticker's corpse and blood. "<b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"> A-A-Anger detected.</span></b> " Auregnog twitched as he spoke, looking at Xix. " <b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">Rage detected. Sorrow and Despair following up.</span></b> " The Champion read Xix like a book. Knowing the emotions, he was feeling. When Victorique looked, she would see that Xix had landed in Sticker's blood, covering him in it, he looked at her head, his eyes wide. Unmoving as he placed a hand on her head and now cold face. <br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><span style="font-family: 'times new roman'"><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)"><span style="font-size: 26px">Arthur Verg</span></span></span><br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1658970306301-png.1006422/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/943/943552-0816dcb34b0fe15ff9e4234588660f04.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1658970306301.png" title="1658970306301.png" width="100" height="146" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
Arthur had seen the Champion now awake, even attack his own loyal followers, being Sticker who was his way of making a lot of money. Arthur then growled, using his anger to swing his bat into the face of the captain, cracking him a good one on his chin as blood and a tooth flew out of his mouth. Arthur charged at Auregnog, all he saw was rage and red, he wanted to kill the Champion. But he would learn why the Champion was called all the nicknames he had heard. Arthur leapt forward and swung his bat downward, the Champion moved to the side just for Arthur to miss who had a look of surprise on his face. Auregnog brought his free hand backward and launched it forward at Arthur, punching him in his side that flung him into the wall. Arthur released his weapon as it dissipated into the air, Arthur hit the wall with a lot of force, breaking it even as he slumped forward, falling onto his knees then fell on his face. Auregnog turned to look at the room, assessing the threats. <br>
<br>
The Knight and Orchid continued their little brawl that was taken to the ground, both were strong and big. Although with Arthur's intervention, the two were back on their feet, the knight's temple gushing with blood, he had a handsome face, although now damaged thanks to Orchid burning it with hot coals. The two would brawl it out, punch for punch, until Orchid feinted an attack, taking the dagger she had received in the fight from earlier, she had a plot ready. Orchid would fake swinging her head forward for a headbutt, which the tired and most likely concussioned knight fell for, but not without giving his own attack. " <b>Warden's Fist. </b>" he said lowly just as a glowing white fist slammed into Orchid's left, although she did swing her knife up on the correct side. Steel met soft flesh. Stabbing up into his organs, his eyes were wide with surprise, although his attack connected with Orchid's face. Her entire body would fly backwards into the floor. Knocking her out cold for a few seconds. The knight's fist was brimming with fading energy as he stumbled backwards, the knife stuck in his armpit. He growled in pain, leaning against the wall, he knew he didn't have long, and he saw that the Champion was awake, he had killed one of the tresspassers and took out the one that attacked him. The captain knew there was no beating the champion. "<b> Go, captain. I'll hold him off.</b> " He said exhaustedly as he stood up taking up his polearm. "<b> I'll give you time to get out of here. </b>" Orchid's vision would return, but her body was heavy as her vision was foggy, like she wasn't in control. Sounds around her were echoey and faint. She would spot a red figure move pass her. <br>
<br>
" <b><s><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">N-Next threat detected.</span></s></b> " The Champion groaned as he stepped forward to face the two Ryken Knights. Ignoring everyone else. He lunged forward, extending his axe out like a spear to strike at the Captain. " <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">Abstract Mare! </span></b>" The Captain roared, a vision of a horse's head appeared and struck the Champion in his chest, launching his backwards, but he would land on his feet. The Champion stopped and began to twitch errectlly, " <b><s><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">Wh-Wh-Where am I? Wh-Who do I kill next? Retalation inevitable.</span></s></b> " The Champion croaked as he straightened up, his chest glowing and brimming brightly, his chest was caved in a bit and looked like it could be opened up. The Ryken Captain quickly fled and ran to the entrance and then ran upstairs. Auregnog was hot on his tail, chasing after the captain but the large wounded and dying knight stepped in front of him, swing his spear in which the Champion dodged and cleaved his leg off before bringing his axe around and slamming it down onto the neck of the knight who was already falling, killing him. The Champion proceeded upstairs, leaving everyone else in the room. Orchid would finally be able to move and awoke, her left eye was swollen. <br>
<br>
" <b>well shit. </b>" Clover stated with a look of shock.</div>

Victorique was very frustrated. She'd done what she could to give them a head-start, yet it still wasn't enough. The sudden death and the many sudden surprises were tough to keep up with. Why in the world did the Champion move again? Why in the world did he sound and talk like a robot? Why in the world was Clover protecting her? Why in the world had Sticker just sacrificed herself? The latter was what bugged her the most, as she could only feel stunned in place, as she shook a little in absolute shock and horror. She'd never seen someone die like that, not from up close and especially not for the sake of saving her... To her surprise, tears started to form a bit, but the intense and brutal situation didn't allow for them to start flowing freely. <br>
<br>
Clover managed to snap her out of it, a little bit at least, but the reality hadn't settled in yet. Instead, Victorique defaulted to denial. She quickly moved around Xix and opened up her [Pocket Dimension] to take in the body and head of Sticker. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Surely there's someone that can resurrect her, right? We'll bring her to them.”</b></span> She knew there was healing of a high enough level to bring people back from the dead. She knew that the Adventurer's Guild even had contact with such folk. Surely there was someone like that as well in the Undberlly as well. They had her entire body and head, so it'd just take some money, right? Surely that'd be all. A traumatic experience and some inconvenience, but definitely not someone that'd be permanently dead for her sake. Definitely not. Having fooled herself into believing it, she was somehow able to focus again.<br>
<br>
She witnessed the Champion chase after the knights instead, behaving more than a little odd. He easily killed one, before leaving after the other. She realised she'd been holding her breath the entire time only by the fact that she felt like she was about to faint. With the champion out of the room, she finally managed to breath in again. A few slow and steady breaths. <br>
<br>
As she calmed down, her ability to deduce what had happened finally started to work again. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Thanks.”</b></span> She uttered to Clover. It wasn't much, but she was truthfully still a bit too shocked to say more. Instead, she rather distracted herself by focussing on the case at hand. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“The champion's behaviour seemed far more like a machine gone out of control than that of a rational being... Gone out of control... Wait.”</b></span> She suddenly realised something. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“What if the thing you're looking for and what these knights want is whatever controls him? What if he's always been like this and was simply controlled by someone?”</b></span> Was that what Sticker might've wanted to tell her just before she... she... Victorique shook her head. She didn't want to think about it.<br>
<br>
Instead, she wanted to check with Arthur, Orchid, Xix and even Clover. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“I don't think we stand a chance against him if we wanted to stop him. Instead, we should figure out who or what is controlling him, as he doesn't seem to be in control of himself. The way he speaks and acts is just too odd.”</b></span> Her next words were clearly not that of a true detective, but of a young adult who let her own desires influence her reasoning and tried to justify her own desires. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Sticker clearly knew more. We should find someone that can resurrect her so we can ask her about it.”</b></span><br>
<br>
There was one more thing she'd spotted. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“He was heavily focussed on those Ryken Knights, so he might be thinking or working like he did in the Controls War. If someone knows more about his actions back then, we might be able to use it to predict what he'll do next. For example, if we figure out where the most important battles took place or where he earned his victory, we might know where he'll go next.”</b></span> Even although she wasn't completely sure about those parts, she'd much rather theorise than allow the brutal and harsh reality of the situation to start settling in again. She more and more realised that she wasn't made to deal with this type of stuff, she was made to investigate this type of drama after the fact, not whilst it was happening in the heat of the moment. <br>

<hr><span style="font-size: 18px"><span style="font-family: 'courier new'"><span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)">There wasn't much left for them here as strewn out bodies and an abandoned cart were the only things that remained in this immediate area. He could still hear the sounds of the arena, but they didn't sound right and he couldn't figure out why. It seemed to be where Vido believed his boss was so it looked like that big blood dome was where they were heading. His lumbering form taking fewer steps, and still keeping up with the quick footed crew though he weren't no ninja; It was difficult to hide when you were of his stature. It worked for him though since he'd rather take his problems head on. <br>
<br>
People from all different walks of life skittered and fled passed them, seemingly terrified of some force coming from The Bloody Defiance. It was startin to make his scales itch. "<b>Ya'll who blood in without bloodin out are a bunch yeller bellies, what kinda gangs are they runnin nowadays?</b>" He barked at the fleeing gang members, flicking one in the back of head before shaking his own. He did feel bad for the innocents, though he wondered how many <i>innocents</i> were around an arena like this. Screams became louder, echoing off of stained stone as they approached the entrance. The two living corpses Vido dispatched with ease brought his slow realization to a head. There was something definitely wrong with this arena.<br>
<br>
There were alot of questions he wanted to ask about this cult. He couldn't quite explain it, but he felt a bitter loathsomeness toward such manipulators. It made sense now since he didn't want to assume they didn't just hire zombie guards and realized late how bull-ass stupid that is. If those purple eyed bastards were the ones doing this, then he was more than glad to put boot to ass, though he was curious on who this leader was if he was caught up in all of this. "<b>If he is even half as tough as you are Vido, he'll be fine</b>" Wirejaw said, walking beside him as they made their way deeper.<br>
<br>
Wirejaw bestial instincts started to go crazy as different factions fought off the hordes of undead and their sinister masters. It sounded like ropes snapping when he popped his heavyset knuckles, and made it clear that he was ready for the showdown about to take place. Vido called out the undead and Wirejaw eyed up as many of them as he could, yanking one of the Divees back from an attempted bite and hurling them up the stairs as he followed Lunes orders without missing a beat, climbing the stairs on all fours before cultists blocked their way. Wirejaw looking at Lunes as it was them for the moment amidst the chaos, throwing off his duster at her call to arms.<br>
<br>
"<b>You got it ma'am. Give me coverin fire if ya kindly</b>" He said, putting his back against the before leaning his heels against that same wall. He took a deep breath before he surged the strength in his legs and kicked off, splintering the wall from the force as he speared forward. When he got close enough he would change direction, smashing into a wall before once again kicking off, this time ten feet into the air. His aim was for the first cultist in range, landing on him all his weight and claws bearing down. His roar vibrating the air.</span></span><br>

Dayle faintly felt danger, and instinctively swiveled to the side, pushing Roy out of the way at the same time. His intuition prove to be true when a polearm bust out of the wall and struck the goblin, before flying further and decapitating a knight's arm. It surprised him, but he quickly calmed down when he realized it benefitted him more than it startled him. With one of the knights disarmed, he had a better chance getting through them. He continued his way, the corpse dragging behind him and Roy continuing to follow after he recovered from the shock. There in front of him, a knight turned his attention to him as he approached them.<br>
<br>
Dayle narrowed his eyes at the knight, all the while grinning. The rest of his companions are busy with the other gladiators, and there was only one of them going against him. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Rabid beast, huh?"</span> A manic smile turned his eyes crescent, as he prepared himself <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"See how this beast beat you to a bloody pulp!"</span> He swung his arm with all of his might, throwing the body that he had been dragging along towards the knight. <br>
<br>
Without missing a beat, Roy took the left flank and hunched down to step forward, using the flying corpse as a distraction. His eyes widened as his focus congregated into one objective: to neutralize. Using his momentum, he thrust forward with a precision unexpected from a mook of the underbelly. (<b>Basic Swordsmanship</b>)<br>
<br>
Dayle followed behind, covering Roy's upper area and readied himself to deflect any blows that would come to harm them. Hot red aura enveloped him as he became the shield protecting his subordinate. (<b>Can't Touch This</b>)<br>

<i>Abilities Invoked:</i><br>
<br>
<u>Dayle:</u><br>
[CD | 0 Post]<b> <u>Can't Touch This</u>: Fighting Style [Dreadnaught] F, Nope [Deflect] F, Fighting Style [Bonebreaker] F, Hellhound [Aura] F</b>| Dayle uses his aura to clad his body in palpable heat. This aura physically manifests as a protective film around his body, allowing him to deflect non-magical attacks.<br>
<br>
<u>Roy:</u><br>
[CD | 0 Post]<b> <u>Basic Swordsmanship</u>: Fighting Style [Windrider] F, Swiftness [Accurate] F</b>| Their skill in swordsmanship allows them to hit foes faster than themselves, and thus have an advantage over similarly skilled opponents.<br>

Orchid missed having her helmet now. She took the punch to her forehead in an attempt to keep the knight from breaking her jaw, though she still got a fistful to the eye. But her gambit had pulled off nonetheless. Her dagger managed to slip between his armor and sink into skin, and Orchid stabbed as hard as she could before the knight's punch knocked her all the way to the wall, leaving her stunned for a precious few seconds. She swore she was conscious the whole time, but everything was a blur. She was seeing red and she wasn't sure if it was from blood or something else. Struggling to get back to her feet Orchid had to keep her eyes shut hard, relying on her other senses to keep attention to the battlefield. She didn't sense anyone approach her but she wasn't sure if it was safe or not. Her ears were ringing, she tasted iron in her mouth, and she's pretty sure she chipped one of her teeth again. <span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)"><i>"Dammit. You know how hard it is to find a dentist in this realm?"</i></span> Orchid idly thought to herself.<br>
<br>
By the time Orchid was actually able to get to her feet and regain her senses things were... Bad, but the fighting was over. She looked around and noticed that Xix was standing over Sticker's body, and covered in blood. Her blood. She looked down and noticed that Sticker's head was decapitated from her body, and Orchid could only grimace. She had no idea why Sticker followed them here and... Orchid's not entirely surprised this happened. Tends to happen really. Orchid felt bad about it though, even if she didn't exactly have the kindest thoughts about Sticker due to her little joke. But that doesn't meant she deserved this. Aside from Sticker, the knight she had fought was also dead. Orchid wasn't sure who did it but if she had to guess it wasn't Xix. Might've been Clover but frankly, Orchid was so focused on her own fight she wasn't fully aware of Auregnog's armor getting up and laying waste to everyone. She just sorta assumed that might've been Arthur or Clover, but seeing them just as surprised and wounded as she was, Orchid was coming to the quick conclusion that things have gotten much more complex then they seem.<br>
<br>
Picking up her Poleaxe, Orchid went to check on Victorique. Regardless of what happened in this room, Orchid's got a job to do and that's to make sure Victorique is okay. She fortunately seemed unharmed, which means Orchid did her job. But Victorique looked over Sticker's body and wanted to resurrect her.<span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)"> "Boss, I'm not sure if it'll be that easy. Assuming something like that is even possible, I can't imagine that it's simple. Or free."</span> Healing a body from mortal injuries is something Orchid is vaguely aware is possible, but straight up decapitation? The only time she's heard that being possible is by monsters with crazy levels of regeneration, undead, or mad wizards making Frankenstein monsters. Though she imagines that it's still possible if they find a high level cleric or something, but Orchid doesn't know anyone like that.<br>
<br>
Gathering what strength she had, Orchid reached into a pocket and took out another snack bar. Just by habit really, but she still ate it, feeling slightly rejuvenated. Still sore as hell, but slightly less so. She listened to Victorique explain what just happened. It seemed like the Champion was in fact alive, but must actually be some sort of terminator robot and ripped through the knights. Orchid certainly didn't expect this. She figured it was debts or something, not the fact the Champion was some sort of synth construct. Were such creations even possible? She's never met a golem before, or a robot. Victorique wanted to bring Sticker back for questioning, but from the way Victorique shook, Orchid figured she just wanted to save the poor girl. She began to ramble on about more things, but Orchid simply made sure to close and lock the door this time, and started looking around the room in earnest.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">"I don't know if you're asking for a priest or a necromancer boss, but regardless I don't know either. Going to guess that the key to controlling Auregnog's isn't in this room, but maybe we can find some clues for it. Let's hurry. I don't know if he's going to come back or rampage throughout the coliseum, but either way we need to hurry. It's only going to be a matter of time before more people show up, and we don't want to be here when they come through those doors." </span>Orchid goes to check around the bed. Evidentally Clover hasn't looked here yet if she didn't notice Auregnog laying over here, so maybe there was something there that could help. Notes or maybe some sort of machine part. <i>Something</i> that could give them a clue of where to go. Orchid even looked around the darker corners of the room, looking for cameras or maybe scrying crystals. Something caused him to wake up and go on a rampage. Maybe it's some weird programming, or maybe someone was watching and decided to awaken him now. All Orchid knows for certain is that she needs to do something, less her client decide to do something that'll make Orchid's job very difficult.</div>

<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1659417316862-png.1008256/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/945/945386-cf3a6f3e422c559798a9c3a1881a7ba0.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1659417316862.png" title="1659417316862.png" width="100" height="100" loading="lazy"></a><br>​</div>There was just no end to these hooded men, to these recently turned undead, they were coming as the Divees continued to hold them back, there was even civilians that got involved, the Crew along with the civilians were trapped on this two-sided stairwell corridor. Vido was doing his best to make sure no undead got to them, his sword slashing heads and bodies apart. Some of the Divees crew were with him, fighting with the half-orc, keeping the undead at bay. But there was more and more coming, Eventually Vido's side was getting pushed back. Blood splattered, limbs flew, heads fell, lives snuffed. The only sounds that could be heard was groans of undead, the struggling of the living, blood splattering and weapons cutting through flesh. <br>
<br>
Lunes continued to let arrows loose, meeting her mark each time, her arrows connected with target. Arrows flying through undead skulls. But despite that, the cultists were making their way closer, their wicked daggers drawing closer as they had a mix of blood and oil dripping off their blades. Lunes saw one blade fly across her direction, she dodged and slammed her bow into the face of the cultist, stunning them. " <b><span style="color: rgb(84, 172, 210)">Damn it, lizard, what are you doing! </span></b>" She was too distracted to see what the large cowboy was planning. Wirejaw made his assault, spinning off the ground and bouncing against walls as he plowed through troves of undead. Until he launched himself into the air and landed on the stunned cultist, shredding through flesh and bone. There were no sounds coming from this now dead man. The cultist' hood was now in tatters and Wirejaw would see what was under the hood. He saw a man's face, his entire bottom jaw removed, and tongue ripped out, blackened eyes with red irises and tattoos all over what was left of their face. Their eyes were truly dead within, despite being barely alive, they tried to raise their dagger to stab the large lizard, but their hand fell and finally the amalgamation passed on. As the cultists continued to come, they would eventually push the entire group of living souls together, the Divees Crew, civilians, Blooded Guard, you name it. Pushed them into one group. Wirejaw's back would touch Vido's. " <b><span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">Aye, this looks like it's the end you large lizard.</span></b> " Vido growled. Lunes was all out of arrows as she held her bow like a club. " <b><span style="color: rgb(84, 172, 210)">Seems like it is. And in the Underbelly no less. What a waste.</span></b> " The woman growled. <br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1659460342889-png.1008351/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/945/945481-988e5d2366544f4a2d54358672629096.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1659460342889.png" title="1659460342889.png" width="100" height="119" loading="lazy"></a><br>​</div>But as soon as the group was gathered, the undead and cultists stopped before making their attack. The undead even stopped their groaning as they stood there watching the group of living. Then almost as an entire unit, they slowly backed away from the living. Disappearing down the stairs and moving on. Lunes breathed a sigh of relief. " <b><span style="color: rgb(84, 172, 210)">What the hell was that about. </span></b>" The elf asked, she was glad they were alive but that was a strange thing to occur. When they moved down to the actual arena and saw the bleachers, it was all blood, all covered in blood, gore, bodies. So much needless death. There was no way to tell the difference between people. On the other side there was a single red knight and that black hooded man with red seams on his cloak, his eyes glowing purple. " <b><span style="color: rgb(85, 57, 130)">My work here is done. </span></b>" The man spoke to the red knight. She fell to a knee, holding herself up with her sword, her shield in her other arm was broken, her armor covered and matted in blood. She was breathing heavily, looking at the robed man. " <b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">No... I'm not done.</span></b> " She growled, having the ferocity of an angry tiger. She stood up and took a step forward before falling both knees, dropping her weapons and placing both hands on the bloody ground. "<span style="color: #553982"><b> But you are, Lykra. You can barely stand up. I want to finish our little fight and eventually turn you into one of us but... It'll have to wait. Besides, someone is coming to greet you anyways.</b></span> " The man sheathed his dagger in his sleeve. He then walked away into the shadows and disappeared into the Underbelly. Undead and Cultists alive were gone. <br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1659474885834-png.1008431/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/945/945561-bb966d1dbe31b702bbd78458427992f9.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1659474885834.png" title="1659474885834.png" width="100" height="189" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
When the large group was able to leave, whoever wasn't a part of the Divees Crew had already left. Civilians escaping the Bloody Defiance, Blooded Guard running off to regroup. The Divees Crew didn't really have much to go on about where Arthur was, Vido looked at his crew, " <b><span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">You all did well. Good job. But we are not done yet. We need to find Arthur but i doubt anyone would just know. I think that red knight will know. And I think that is the Blooded Guard Lieutenant.</span></b> " Vido commented. As they approached the knight, she was still exhausted from her long fight with that red seamed hooded man. She sounded like she was even crying. But when they appraoched she quickly quieted down and stood up, " <b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">Away from you lot, before I kill you all.</span></b> " Lykra picked up her sword and stumbled backwards, barely able to hold it up with both hands, she fell down to her knees with a defeated sigh. Lunes had crossed arms, " <b><span style="color: rgb(84, 172, 210)">Commander Lykra, The Red Stained. </span></b>" The elf stated, in which Lykra somewhat calmed down and began to regain her breath. "<b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"> Yes. That is me. </span></b>" She let out an exhausted breath and was able to get back on her feet and stay there. "<b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"> What does the Divees Crew want? I don't think your leader would like you here-</span></b> " She was cut off by Vido, who stepped up. " <b><span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">He's dead. Killed by my hand.</span></b> " The half-orc interrupted. Lykra didn't speak and almost laughed, " <b><span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">What? You killed your own leader? Well not surprising. You now lead this pathetic looking group?</span></b> " She asked. In which Vido shook his head, " <b><span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">We are looking for our new leader. Arthur Verg.</span></b> " Which got a look from Lykra, " <b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">The Ryken Student? One of the ones who started the Gang War? Interesting choice. </span></b>" She asked who as if she is holding in a laugh. "<b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"> Well, I haven't seen him, and it will be better that way. I did hear that was here, a few of my guards said they saw him and some small child jump into the arena and sneak into the Warrior's Respite. Your best bet is to look that way. </span></b>" She pointed behind her where there was a broken door with a dead orc in the doorway. <br>
<br>
Vido looked at the rest of the crew, " <b><span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">Well, that's where we are heading next then. If you want, scrounge around and see if you can find anything.</span></b> " Vido stated. Lykra sat down on the ground and took a deep breath, needing rest from this entire day, and now it got worst for her.<br>

The knight saw Roy move as Dayle threw the corpse that he was dragging at him. Without missing a beat, the Knight swung his sword with great might in an upwards motion, slicing the body into two, blood and gore flew pass the knight and splattered on the knight which caught him off guard, except it wasn't just guts, it was also feces from the bowel system of the corpse. " <b>Oh, my Gods... Is this...?</b> " He looked horrified, looking like he was going to vomit, but it was a good distraction as Roy managed to get in close to the knight, despite him being seen ahead of time. Roy would strike down on his shoulder where there was a large pauldron. Roy's claymore managed to break through and strike flesh. There was a cry of anger just as the knight then pushed Roy away with enough force to knock him off his feet. <br>
<br>
The knight then raised his large sword and attempted to swing down at Roy, but Dayle's support caused the blade to be reflected backwards, causing the knight to stumble backwards with a growl, " <b>You damn rabid dogs.</b> " He looked at his shoulder seeing that blood was coming out of his broken pauldron, Roy was able to actually break Ryken Military armor, it either was a great feat or the armor was terrible and only for looks. The knight was getting ready for another attack when there were footsteps coming from behind him, when all three looked, it was another Ryken knight, although he was wearing medium armor to get by faster, both his swords were sheathed as he moved pass the knight, " <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">Elgor! Get moving! We got to go! Now!</span></b> " The knight roared with urgency in his voice, pushing Dayle and Roy out of his way. "<b> Yes, Captain!</b> " The knight said saluting, he wasn't aware of the fear emitting off the captain, " <b>We'll finish this fight later dogs-</b> " There was a flash of red that flew behind the large knight, and the knight went silent, his eyes wide. He mumbled something then gurgled as blood spewed from his mouth. The knight fell before the two and revealed that behind the Knight was no one other than the Auregnog, the Champion of the Underbelly. The Bloody Defiance. The One Man Army. His Axemace was sticking in the back of the knight's head. Auregnog then pulled his Axemace out of the back of the man's head, blood, skull bits, and brain matter on the end of the weapon. Aurgenog's chest was a bit dented and there was a glow emitting from within. The Champion looked at both Dayle and Roy. <br>

Strange. " <b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"><s>St-State your names. </s></span></b>" His voice sounded glitchy and robotic, his head twitching every time his words glitched. " <b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"><s>Th-Then face your death.</s></span></b> " Auregnog looked at the two, readying his weapon in his hands. But Auregnog then caught the captain running in the distance, " Ryken Captain. Death. " Auregnog then moved forward, stepping on the knight. Auregnog pushed his way pass Dayle before as quick as a red blur, ran after the captain. In this moment, Dayle and Roy would know they escaped death. <br>

Seeing it was Xix as he then wrapped both his hands around her neck and pushed her up against the bed of the champion, above the bed was the statue of a large bird with its wings spread out and talons out like it was flying in after its prey. Xix was able to lift Victorique off the ground while choking her, "<b> Bring her back! <i>GIVE </i>her back! </b>" Xix' eyes were full of pain and anger, and Victorique taking the severed head and dead body in front of their lover is what you would call. A very stupid decision. " <b>You don't care about her! You care about the information she provides!</b> " Xix' grip on her neck was tightening around her windpipe, as Xix' eyes had tears forming as he began to use all his strength, Clover stepped in grabbing his arm. " <b>Hey! Let her go!</b> " But this action would have Clover by back fisted across her lower jaw, knocking her down as she began to bleed from her mouth. Victorique catching a moment of air just for both hands to be back on her windpipe stronger than before.<br>

Arthur's eyes slowly opened up, he could hear commotion as his ears were ringing, his head was throbbing. Arthur growled as gently placed his still human hand on the back of head before he hissed in pain, he growled in pain quickly pulling his hand away with he felt a stinging pain. Looking at his hand, he saw blood. Arthur groaned getting up on his feet and backed up into the wall. His ears stopped ringing but... They came back. Arthur saw the faces again. He heard the voices again, he grimaced. " <b><i><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">Fuck.</span></i></b> " Arthur clenched his fists and looked up seeing Xix choking Victorique, quickly Arthur got into gear. He growled and charged forward, when he grew close, he stuck a boot up and kicked Xix in his face, launching the goblin backwards, Arthur was not in the mood to deal with this shit. He had grabbed Victorique's shoulder to prevent her from flying with the goblin. " <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">You okay?</span></b> " Arthur asked with a cold growl but did not wait for an answer as he moved forward to face the Goblin who was starting to recover. The goblin held his nose that was now bleeding. Arthur looked at Orchid who looked worse for wear. " <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">Orchid. Get the child out of here.</span></b> " Arthur growled, giving her an order. The goblin picked up his khopesh as Arthur clenched and flexed his ghastly arm. " <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">Hurry up! </span></b>" Arthur's cold eyes were full of anger as he yelled at Orchid <b>[Intimidation D]</b>. Arthur wanted to kill something right now. Now that he could see the faces and hear the voices again. Clover had gotten up and saw what was going on. It was time to leave for her as she made her way to the only exit.</div>

The sudden slap had taken her by enough surprise to stun her, as it came totally out of the blue. Before she could even register what was going on, she felt a pair of hands around her throat that started choking her out. Confused and terrified in equal measure, Victorique was quick to drop the corpse back out of her pocket dimension, but the goblin didn't even seem to notice it. As she was starting to see black around the edges of her vision, she realized she'd completely screwed up by not noticing there was anything more than friendship between the goblin and this Siren or by acting rashly, thinking to have an easy solution in a moment of shock without taking into consideration similarly rash reactions from others. Most of the murders she'd encountered had happened long before she entered a room, after all, not while she was directly next to it. <br>
<br>
Being choked by a goblin in the Underbelly due to acting rashly in a moment of panic. What a pathetic way to go. At this rate, she wouldn't even want to be resurrected by anyone. Even so, her survival instincts kicked in, having her struggle and wriggle as well as she could to try getting out of the goblin's grasp. All it got her was a firmer grip on her throat and even more of her vision getting blurry. Just as she was about to lose conscious altogether, he could feel her shoulder being grasped and the hands around her throat suddenly vanishing. She wasn't able to reply to the question she faintly heard in the background, as she was gasping for air too much to talk right now.<br>
<br>
It was only by the time that Orchid would (presumably) take her away that she started to get her air intake back in order to a degree where she could start forming words again. She listened to the Orc's words with a grimace. Of course the orc was correct, now that she was somehow a little calmer after nearly being choked to death, she could summarize that much. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“You're right, I'm sorry. I acted rashly. We should pursue other clues first.”</b></span> The latter was easier said then done, as it didn't seem like the champion's room was going to be investigate-able right now. <br>
<br>
However... there was one thing Victorique realised. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“If we carefully follow the traces left by the champion, he might lead us to who or whatever activated him. I don't think his sudden awakening was a coincidence, but at the same time, I doubt it was our doing. Clover had been rummaging through the room long enough before us to have activated it if it was activated merely by someone's presence. I'd rather not follow such a machine of death, but it might be our best lead at the moment, for as long as we won't have the time to carefully investigate the champion's quarters.”</b></span></div>

Dayle was ready to follow-up but the intrusion of another knight, who seemed to be the superior, interrupted and called a retreat. Dayle was partly relieved, when something unexpected happened. The knight he fought suddenly stopped in their tracks, before his body fell and revealed the culprit. Red armor, an axemace in hand, and the aura of someone superior. Dayle didn't have to rack his brains to figure out who this was. <i><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">Auregnog?! He's still alive?!</span></i><br>
<br>
Dayle couldn't think any further when Auregnog's unnatural voice addressed him and Roy. He couldn't feel any intent behind those words, but he knew the axemace in his hand was already aimed at his neck. He instinctively knew that he was less than the person, no, <i>thing</i> in front of him. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Uh..."</span> For a moment, his mind jumbled up. He couldn't produce any words against this... <i>monster </i>before him. But he thought too long. Auregnog's declaration came like the bell that foretold his death. Desperation painted his eyes, and Roy's legs almost faltered. Dayle gritted his teeth and both were ready to fight tooth and nail, but Auregnog's attention suddenly shifted to another direction, and he rushed away just as fast as he had arrived.<br>
<br>
The duo stood there in shock, with Dayle's eyes looking far ahead with an unfocused gaze, and Roy kneeling in deep fear as his whole body trembled. There simply was no way for the both of them to prepare against that <i>thing</i> and survive. It was a narrow death. Even now, both Dayle and Roy felt a cold line run across their neck. For the first time, Dayle was at the mercy of someone he could not defy. Mr. Loren? That person that always played him like fool was someone Dayle hoped to one day bring down, as long as he is alive until then. However, to the Underbelly's Champion, the mere thought of surviving did not exist. Dayle easily accepted his fate, as if it was already a forgone conclusion.  He could stand against a syndicate executive, a powerful swordsman, a lunatic with undead minions, and a one-armed man who reeked of death. Yet he couldn't stand against a champion? No matter how he looked at it, how he acted was not how he carried himself. Dayle's heart was shaken, as he could not fathom that <i>something</i> could make him this much afraid. He unconsciously clenched his fists in frustration.<br>
<br>
Roy was no different. For a moment, the world around him slow down, and his mind desperately combed through his memories to find a way out of the situation. The person in front of them wasn't an opponent, it was on obstacle, a dangerous force of nature. Roy was dead set on avoiding such disaster that his indecision froze his body. Fortunately for him, he lived from the harrowing encounter. His body slumped down as he controlled his breathing. The moment he entered Red Star, he was already ready to die, as it was part of this life. However, he couldn't believe that this was where he'd draw the line. Roy closed his eyes. Then again, dying a dog's death was unacceptable. But why did he reject death from Auregnog? He instinctively knew Auregnog was superior, and his reputation was known throughout the Underbelly. He was beloved and respected, and Roy was one of those people that praised him. It should've been a good death. Yet why did he felt indignant? There were many things that Roy thought could be the reason, but no matter what he thought, there was only one sound reason: Auregnog felt empty. So empty, that he felt there was no thoughts behind his action. No emotion. No humanity. To die to such a being... it was simply unacceptable.<br>
<br>
Dayle shook his head, before looking to where the champion went to, while Roy leaned against the wall to catch his breath. To the both of them, there was only one thought that appeared in their mind.<br>
<br>
Auregnog is <i>not</i> human.<br>

Orchid barely got a chance to even walk over to the bed before Xix started attacking Victorique. Orchid couldn't say she's surprised, she figured the goblin was tilted after Sticker was dead, but she had no idea it was like this. Orchid guessed that Xix must've felt pretty close to Sticker, and thought he could afford that sort of relationship since Sticker wasn't a gladiator. <span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)"><i>"This is why I never have relationships with anyone at work..."</i></span> Orchid thought to herself as she went to help Victorique. Arthur went to deal with Xix, so Orchid grabbed Victorique and spirited her out of the room. She didn't need Arthur to tell her that, since ultimately Orchid's job was to keep Victorique safe. Xix wanted her dead, so getting the little blond away from the mad goblin was a good way to keep her alive. <br>
<br>
With Victorique in her arms, Orchid opened the doors and quickly made sure to head back to the Warrior's Respite. It was the only place Orchid could think of that was safe for the two of them, or at least Orchid. But when Victorique finally calmed herself down, she advise Orchid to follow the champion. See where it leads. For a moment, Orchid paused. On on hand, Orchid wanted to figure out what was going on with the champion and possibly gather some loot from it. But on the other hand, Orchid shouldn't let her greed kill her. It was quite obvious that there were things at play far bigger than what Orchid realized. Much bigger. Slowing her movements down Orchid looked to Victorique. <span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">"Boss, let me ask ya honestly, do you need to investigate any further than this? Far be it from me to tell you how to do your job, but I imagine that your superiors just wanted to know if the champion is dead or alive. And considering the corpses he's leaving in his wake, he's pretty living. I think it'd be safe to say that you could return to the surface and report what you know and that'll be a mission accomplished. Maybe your bosses might tell you to go back and see it through, but I think you've done enough so far."</span><br>
<br>
Getting onto Victorique's level, Orchid tried to look the blond girl in the eye. It might've been a bit frightening for Victorique to look at Orchid, since Orchid was bleeding from a scar and had a blacken eye. But Orchid wanted Victorique to see her bloodied and bruised face up close, so she knows exactly what she's dealing with right now. <span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">"Undercity's a dangerous place and it's my job to protect you. So heed my advice when I say the safest thing for you to do is to get out of here ASAP. If you want to stay and keep investigating, I'll follow and protect you. But know that you're diving deep into a world of violence and death. You'll need to have a strong stomach for the carnage ahead. If you can't handle that, I understand. I'll escort you back to the surface. But if you're going to stay, then promise me this."</span> Orchid extended a hand out to Victorique. This wasn't a formal contract, just a promise between two people. <span style="color: #41a85f">"Promise me that you'll talk to me first before you start doing anything or going anywhere, <i>especially</i> around Auregnog. Let </span><i><span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">me</span></i><span style="color: #41a85f"> be the first one to face anybody you don't know. If they're hostile, I want their eyes on me, not you. If they're friendly, I'll make sure that they listen to you. I know you're a smart lass and you probably are better at reading people than me, but folks down here only care for strength and appeal to force. They see and hear you and won't take you seriously because you're small. So let me help you, by showing them that you ain't all talk. Use me. Let's work together, okay?"</span></div>

<hr><span style="font-family: 'courier new'"><span style="color: #fba026"><span style="font-size: 18px">There was an unexpected familiarity with how he fought; while his memory was still shot to shit. His body would move on it's own, reflexively reacting to the situation. He wasn't a thinking man, but he knew he was something different. It felt natural being front and center, using these gifts of his to carve asses off backs. What didn't feel familiar, however...was the anger. Anger toward men he knew nothing about. These robed figures with fancy blades. He didn't like innocent people being hurt, but it had become a mere coal on a much stronger pyre. He hated them for such malicious bloodshed. It was this hate that now scoured through his jagged jaw, the scales so tightly packed around his lower face that they grinded every time he spoke or moved his head, sounding like wire fencing. It was a face that did not look pleasant casted in raw vitriol.<br>
<br>
<s>"</s><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204)"><s><b>Suffer me now, Defiler of sanctity and peace</b></s></span></span></span></span><span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)"><s>"</s></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'courier new'"><span style="color: #fba026"><span style="font-size: 18px">Wirejaw shook his head as the anger nearly made him sick, something overwhelming his senses all of a sudden. What in the hell was that? He now stood over a corpse of one of these cultists. He looked disfigured and horribly scarred, Wirejaw only feeling pity. he couldn't worry about that weird sensation or how his conflicting emotions, shutting his brain off and focusing back into a situation that was going hell in a handbasket quickly. He backed away from the slowly growing number of zombies and their insidious masters. His back hitting Vido's as they all came together in what he felt was a <i>last stand</i>. Deja Vu pricking his spine and dropping a fist sized rock in his stomach, Vido and Lunes words poking the faintest hole through the fog in his mind. <br>
<br>
<i>A tiny hand reaching out, the voice of a girl...</i></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-size: 18px"><span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)">He felt that fear of death grip his heart more than ever now as he suddenly remembered, at the very least, he had something worth fighting for. It wasn't just his memories...but it was the two who saved his hide. A desire to protect roared through his system as that burning in his chest came back. A spurt of flame flickering out of his grinding teeth, turning around and throwing both arms over Vido and Lunes. If he could block as many hits for them as he could, then that just might give them the chance to escape or fight their way. This way their kindness wasn't wasted. He was waiting for the inevitable bite of daggers in his back, but something akin to a miracle happened instead. Lunes voice caused him to look back, and saw that their forces had pulled back. <br>
<br>
"<b>I dunno Miss Lunes, but ah ain't gonna look a gift horse in the mouth neither.</b>" He said with an exhale of relief. That weird buildup of heat diminishing now that they weren't in mortal peril. They finally arrived at the arena, and Wirejaw looked at the work of these cowards with grim silence. Preconception didn't exist in a place like this so he couldn't make out much from person to person, and all it felt like was tragedy. His eyes managing to spot two figures on the other side, seemingly coming to an end of their battle. The armored woman collapsing to her knees while the robed figure spoke to her before leaving. <br>
<br>
Vido knew who the injured warrior was, though Wirejaw didn't understand 'blooded guard' he figured that must be the police force around here or something. He lumbered next to Vido as they approached the lieutenant. Wirejaw seeing the amount of blood and immediately tore a sleeve off of himself and approached her "<b>Ahm sorry we didn't get here faster miss, anymore bleedin and-</b>" He was a little surprised when she outright refused, even seeming disgusted by the act. What the hell was wrong with the people here? He gruffed and nodded "<b>Ah sure hope pride keeps ya warm miss</b>" He said, sitting on a bleacher and taking a breather. <br>
<br>
He listened to the conversation between Vido, Lunes, and Lykra with interest. It seemed The Divees had killed their previous leader, and were looking form someone named 'Arthur Verg'. He didn't understand alot of her explanation, but that was to be expected since he was still new to all of this. Their conversation eventually ending as Vido regrouped with everyone, Wirejaw sitting in three creaking seats as he listened to him. <br>
<br>
"<b>Ah don't need anythin, unless you find some grits or biscuits and gravy.</b>"</span></span></span></div>

			<img src="/data/avatars/s/83/83377.jpg?1595313206" alt="Lucius Cypher" class="avatar-u83377-s" width="48" height="48" loading="lazy">

<br>
<br>
Victorique only noticed that Orchid wasn't looking all that good and dandy when the giant orc somehow managed to crouch down enough to reach eye-level. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Do you need a healer?”</b></span> She asked, wondering if there were ulterior motives for Orchid to try to discourage Victorique to continue. In either case, it wasn't as simple as Orchid made it out to be. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“We both know that wasn't a state you can really call living. He's more like a corpse or construct being controlled by something. I needed to investigate why he'd disappeared and I still don't know what happened, on top of not knowing what's happening currently. If all I've got to tell the guild is that the champion is being controlled by someone and going on a rampage, I'd not only do half a job at best, I'd also risk getting them involved into an already messy situation. If I can, instead, at least figure out what happened and who's responsible, I might be able to sent them directly where they need to be, rather than getting stuck between the Ryken Knights and the inhabitants of the Underbelly.”</b></span> <br>
<br>
All things considered, Orchid wasn't wrong, part of her investigation was concluded. However, none of the questions were answered. The champion wasn't dead or missing, but what exactly did apply to his current state and who was behind it, were both as unclear as they'd been at the start of her investigation. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“That, and we can be assured that the champion will be used for nefarious purposes. Everything thus far seemed to be pretty well-timed to sow as much chaos and destruction down here as possible. If we can avoid another Controls War by getting the the bottom of this before it escalates too rapidly, we might be able to stop a whole lot of blood from being spilled, which is a goal worth taking some risks for.”</b></span><br>
<br>
Victorique grimaced at the mention of the Underbelly being dangerous. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“I'd be a very bad investigator if I hadn't noticed at least that much by now. Between all the corpses, fighting, death traps and being choked to near death, I've gotten enough clues.”</b></span> That said, she shook her head. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“If I wanted the safest thing, I wouldn't have come here to begin with. I'm not going to pretend like I'm not in over my head. Seeing death happen from that up close was surprisingly more gruesome from merely investigating the already deceased. However, call it stubbornness, but this isn't something I can simply let go off.”</b></span> <br>
<br>
She was a bit surprised when Orchid wanted her to make a promise, curious as to where that would end up going. She did, however, smile a bit when she heard Orchid's proposal. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Don't worry, I've got enough of a self-preservation instinct to sent in my strong and trusty Orc warrior first!”</b></span> She said, accepting the hand-shake. In multiple ways, the orc reminded her of Rachael. Both were big and strong, although one was a lot less professional and a lot more perverted. That's when she recalled Orchid's talk in the arena. Perhaps they were also alike in the latter regard, just with different preference... She shook it out her head; it wasn't a topic worth getting stuck on right now. Instead, she wished to add something. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“For as little as it's worth, I believe working together goes in two directions, so if you want me to double-check something or keep an eye on your blind-spots or something, let me know.”</b></span> It was pretty clear that being on good terms with this green lady was going to increase her survival chances by a whole lot and now that the fear of becoming an appetiser had mostly faded, she was actually starting to warm up to her.</div>

Orchid didn't really have a counter to Victorique's comments about Auregnog. Admittedly, Orchid figured that Victorique wasn't going to throw in the towel so easily, but frankly Orchid was pretty afraid of having to deal with Auregnog herself. She was just kind of hoping that Victorique was equally afraid and would want to cash out early. However it seems like Orchid's client was going all in, so she was going to have to match her bet. And while Orchid doesn't really <i>know</i> about the history of politics of this place, now Orchid was getting a bit more interested if this really was some sort of conspiracy to start a war. She's never been involved in a war before. She's worked with some official military once, but those were always pretty small scale stuff. Raiding enemy supply lines and the like. This could potentially lead Orchid on a much bigger job.<br>
<br>
And if anything, Orchid was more concerned about Victorique's mentality. She didn't know the halfling very well, so Orchid was concerned if Sticker's death might've been too traumatic for her. Followed up by Xix trying to strangle her to death, Orchid was really worried that Victorique might do something rash out of scared desperation. But it would seem that Victoriqiue was, at the very least, calm enough to remember that Orchid is here. And as long as Orchid is here, Victorique can stay safe, which means Orchid is doing her job right. And that's all the green gal could ask for really. When they shook on it, Orchid nods her head and stands back up. <span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">"Alright then. Let's keep moving then. I'm going to take you towards the Warrior's Respite, that's where us Gladiators are suppose to be at. If the Champion is rampaging around here, I'm sure someone there has noticed, assuming old Auregnog isn't there already. Just kinda have the feeling he's just going after anyone who's a threat, bias against those knights since I guess he's got some history with them."</span><br>
<br>
After making sure both she and Victorique were okay, Orchid would begin to move towards the Warrior's Respite. As she moved, she asked Victorique some questions for future planning. <span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">"I don't know what those knights want but I think it may be in our interest to try and keep one alive. I think one of them mentioned a captain, I'm sure he knows the most about what's going on here, or at least why this whole mess is happening. Though the hard part would be to keep Auregnog from pasting the poor sod before we find him."</span> However since this is likely some sort of scheme to cause chaos and war in the Undercity, Orchid tried to think about it more. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">"Though at the same time if you're right and there's someone controlling Auregnog somehow, they either don't have a good grasp or are intentionally making him attack anyone indiscriminately. From the way he's acting seems like he's on some sort of autopilot mode since he's willing to kill literally anyone regardless of their threat. I mean, it'd be one thing if he went after folks like the knights or me, since we're obviously threats. But he cut down Sticker who wasn't even armed. So if he gets outside of the arena and continues the slaughter, that's going to break the Undercity. Hey, you think we can get through to him if we told him he's hurting the people he's suppose to be protecting?" </span>Orchid ask grimly. She really doesn't like her odds against the champion unless she's got a whole squad backing her up, and she's hoping maybe there's <i>some</i> reason within Auregnog left. He was the Undercity's champion after all, even if he was a puppet he must have been able to tell friend from foe somehow. Still, Orchid gripped her Poleaxe tightly, steeling her will as hard as she can for the likely and inevitably confrontation with the champion.<br></div>

Lykra no longer using her sword. " <b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">I don't need your help.</span></b> " She quieted down and began to shimmer for a moment, like she was vibrating. The blood that covered her entire armor immediately slipped into her armor and she could now easily move. She looked down at her hand and clenched it into a fist a few times before exhaling deeply, looking to Wirejaw as she pointed her sword at him, " <b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">My pride is what got me into this position.</span></b> " She then let it down and sheathed it holding her shield still. Looking all around them, there was bodies everywhere along with blood to cover almost every surface of the arena. Lykra sighed deeply, " <b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">I've failed you, Auregnog.</span></b> " She mumbled, hanging her head slightly. Vido snorted, "<b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)"> I'm pretty sure you saved his arena from being taken over by those cultists.</span></b> " The half-orc explained. <br>
<div style="text-align: center"><br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1659927386913-png.1010065/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/947/947195-bb966d1dbe31b702bbd78458427992f9.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1659927386913.png" title="1659927386913.png" width="100" height="189" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
Although in that instance, there was footsteps coming up from the entrance to the Warrior's Respite, when everyone looked, Vido looked at Lunes, " <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">It's probably Arthur. </span></b>" The half-orc stated in which Lunes shrugged, although they would be dead wrong. Instead what came up was a frightened Ryken soldier, from his look and attire, he had the rank of Captain. This caught everyone by surprise, especially Lykra, "<b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"> What the fuck?</span></b> " She unsheathed her sword seeing the captain who sighed and relaxed, he had the look of acceptance, " <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">So this is how it ends. </span></b>" He mumbled just as he turned around to face the death that was coming for him. " <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">Those damn cultists flaked on us.</span></b> " He growled as he unsheathed both his swords. He then backed up and swung both his swords in a windmill motion, blocking two strikes just a red blur came zooming up the stairs like a bullet, catching everyone by surprise. It was the champion, Auregnog. The Bloody Defiance. The One Man Army. Swinging his long axemace like a windmill while facing down the Ryken Captain. The captain backed up as his hits were powerful. Auregnog stood his ground and face the group, his head twitching constantly as he held his axemace up into the air, he slammed the handle into bloody ground below him, causing a large and long spike to pierce into the air from the top of the mace on the end of his weapon. The Captain sighed, " <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">Are you serious? </span></b>" He mumbled. A few Blooded Guard came into the bloody arena, covered in blood themselves, " <b>Lykra!</b> " One of them shouted. " <b>We have finally returned! There are no sign of the cultists anymore. </b>" Although, Lykra ignored them as she stared at Auregnog, " <b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">No way... You're still here...</span></b> " Lykra sounded surprised. <br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1659926164447-png.1010055/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/947/947185-afabea8b8b63ded4b445310a2a6e0628.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1659926164447.png" title="1659926164447.png" width="100" height="148" loading="lazy"></a><br>​</div>The Captain looked back at Lykra and turned to face her, " <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">You said that he was- </span></b>" Although as quick as he spoke, his neck was slit by Lykra with her sword. The Captain dropped both weapons and ended up backing up, dropping both weapons and fell over holding his bleeding throat. His eyes locked on The Bloodstained. The champion then walked on into the open, his chest cavity was dented in as his head kept twitching and he spoke weirdly, like a broken machine. He lifted his weapon up and slammed it down on the captain, bringing the spike through the man's back. Then he lifted it up again and repeatedly slammed it down into the back of the dying man, who couldn't even cry out as his neck was slit open. Eventually the Captain finally died as Auregnog pulled his bloody weapon out and moved forward, bringing his foot down on the corpse's head, crushing it like a grape. The Champion continued moving forward as he stopped in the middle of the group. "<b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"><s> Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-You will die. </s></span></b>" Auregnog stared down Lykra who held her sword out towards Auregnog. " <b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"><s>A-Anyone with Lykra the Bloodstained, will die.</s></span></b> " The Champion's head twitched with each glitch as he then raised his weapon but stopped looking pass Lykra at the Blooded Guard that came in, immediately they all fell over with the Cultists now there holding their bloody daggers. " <b><span style="color: rgb(85, 57, 130)">The Champion lives. </span></b>" The hooded man with red seams whispered with a smile on his face. "<b><span style="color: rgb(85, 57, 130)"> Interesting.</span></b> " The man cackled evilly. <br>
<br>
Vido backed up holding his great sword with Lunes behind him with her bow ready to fire arrows. Most of the Divees group staying away as the situation was now getting out of hand quickly. Although there was a strange glow emitting from the Champion's chest. " <b><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">What the fuck is happening?</span></b> " Vido whispered. <br>

<b><i>Warrior's Respite</i></b><br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1659657936855-png.1009063/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/946/946193-70219ce50a304a4c90c453c27c23e616.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1659657936855.png" title="1659657936855.png" width="178" height="100" loading="lazy"></a><br>​</div>While Orchid and Victorique were having their heart to heart conversation, they would hear fighting coming from the Champion's Quarters where it would quickly end, luckily for Victorique that she released Sticker's deceased and separated corpse, so the fight didn't last too long. Eventually just the two finished their conversation, there were footsteps coming up the stairs, a defeated and dead within Xix came into sight, his nose was bleeding a bit as he passed by the two without any words while he carried his khopesh to go and find the Champion. Wanting his revenge. Not long after Arthur came up, he had a few cuts on his face and a bruise, his eyes looked dead again while having the same cold look about him. Xix eventually would pass Dayle and Roy, looking at them up and down, " <b>Where did that red bastard go? </b>" He saw the look up at the two, "<b> You have the look that you are about to shit yourselves.</b> " When they gave him the answer, Xix growled and continued walking, " <b>I think you two are lost, that ghost arm guy, Arthur, said if I found you to direct you farther down the Respite. They are farther down that way. </b>" Then he continued on his way. <br>
<div style="text-align: center"><br>
<span style="font-family: 'times new roman'"><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)"><span style="font-size: 26px">Arthur Verg</span></span></span><br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1659854144466-png.1009810/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/946/946940-0816dcb34b0fe15ff9e4234588660f04.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1659854144466.png" title="1659854144466.png" width="100" height="146" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
Arthur could see the dead once again, after he was knocked unconscious by Auregnog, he had a strange dream. A dream that felt real where he was stuck in a personal hell. A hell where he faced everyone he had killed in his life, and they were also after him. It was a bizarre scenario where he was in a very luxurious hotel where he fought everyone he had killed, using different weapons from; brass knuckles to baseball bats to pistols to shotguns to rifles to sword and so on and so on. But Arthur himself would die a few times during this realistic dream from the one that had killed him, his previous boss, the Don. He was never able to kill the Don, each time he would take out Arthur and he would have to start over. It was fast paced and quick. But it was something Arthur could feel, he felt himself be stabbed, beaten, shot, you name it. Arthur wasn't exactly happy about what happened during, but he came to a revelation that the Don was still alive. But he would need to more about this dream later. Right now, he needed to get Victorique out of here. <br>
<br>
After his fight with Xix that was short, he came up the stairs to find Orchid and Victorique speaking, Arthur's mood was different, like he had reverted back to his usual cold self. He stopped before the two, looking at Victorique, "<b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)"> I'm getting you out of here. It's too dangerous here and I don't need your death on my hands. </span></b>" His tone was cold. "<b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)"> The Champion is alive. That makes your investigation finished. </span></b>" Although Arthur knew that wasn't what she was looking for, it was the why and what happened. " <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">And don't argue with me. This place is too dangerous. Ryken Military are involved and there could be possibly worst coming. We got off lucky, some of us did not.</span></b> " Arthur referred to Sticker. " <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">The goblin is sorry for what he did to you. But you shouldn't have done that. You don't just do that shit. </span></b>" Arthur's eyes looked to Orchid, "<b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)"> Help me get her out of here. There can be more Ryken Knights out in the Underbelly, if they're here, the most dangerous place for them, they're out in the Underbelly. Hopefully we can find Dayle and his lackeys ahead otherwise we need to keep moving. I don't want to hear your objections.</span></b> " He pointed at the halfling. " <span style="color: #f37934"><b>But as soon as we are out, we go our separate ways in which case I want my information right now. So, answer this, who is Regula? And what is going on in Sol County?</b></span> " He asked her straight to the point and randomly, it almost made no sense as to why he had this sudden change in tone, mood and actions.</div>

<hr><span style="font-family: 'courier new'"><span style="color: #fba026"><span style="font-size: 18px">He took this momentary blip of respite to try and understand that stem of anger that overwhelmed him suddenly, or rather the memory that caused it. Who was that voice and why did it stir such wildfire in his chest? It was like his body was angry at something his mind couldn't remember. It made him feel sick, though that could be the heavy smell of blood and death that filled the arena. He could still hear the sound of echoing combat. Lykra was right in that pride was it's own tool; useful in survival, dangerous in excess. It was the latter that brought this kind of suffering. The smell triggered faint collages of battlefields prior. A blue 'X' of stars printed of a flag of red. The scales on his spine nearly jumping off his back they stood so straight; his eyes swiveling toward the warrior woman, and saw first a man in different colors. Wirejaw was a dense man, but it wasn't hard to see a city slicker. The look of fright broken out across his face and only making The Dragonborn uneasy as he got eyes on both Vido and Lunes before returning back to the scene. <br>
<br>
He stood the moment he saw red armor, and though it were drenched in blood. It's crimson shone through the gore, revealing power that made his bestial senses scream at him to run. He had heard from other prisoners the namesake of this aren. A warrior in red armor. Lyrka bringing death to this foreign captain only for things to somehow get worse. Reinforcements adorned in Lyrka's colors slain by the cultists, revealing themselves once again. A fire rushing through his blood as he was torn between the frightened beast and the unwavering warrior. <i>Why was he here?</i> The stress causing smoke to billow out of his nose as time slowed to crawl. Death had entered the arena, and he knew robed freaks would only add to the chaos. <i>What could he do? </i>Vido, Lunes, and the rest of the divees crew stood their ground as enemies were all around now. <i>why was he given this body? these gifts? </i>An ancient voice rattling throughout his musculature, willing movement through the fog of fear. <br>
<br>
<i><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">Remember...Life is the light...and the light is life itself, they may be exchanged...<b>but nothing is ever lost.</b></span></i></span></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)"><span style="font-size: 18px"><span style="font-family: 'courier new'">"<b>Vido! The boss is probably down there right? If he's alive, then we gotta get down there</b>" He called, wasting no more time in thinking as he simply acted. They risked their lives to save his skin, and this was as good a time as any to repay it. He went into a full body sprint toward Lyrka, skirting next to her as he was now in the unfortunate presence of the champion; willing his knees not to shake. <br>
<br>
"<b>Yer right, pride is good an all, but we need ta work together cause the way thissun makes mah scales crawl is telling me he don't give a damn about pride, honor neither. I want to give them a chance to get down there and find Arthur. I owe them a debt an this'll work just fine. Ah don't think pride will get you out of this position, but maybe our teamwork will. He said yer name specifically so he's gonna be swinging at you mighty likely. Attack when ah feign mine, an swing the opposite of me, then when he defends you, ah'll swing for real</b>" <br>
<br>
He then tore off his duster and hat, getting on all fours and launching forward, curving in a left angle as he used the bloody floor to glide the last ten feet for additional </span></span></span><span style="font-family: 'courier new'"><span style="color: #fba026"><span style="font-size: 18px">momentum. All that build up fear didn't just burn away, but a different fear all together pushed him much harder. A fear of doing nothing in the face of adversity. He primed his claws to attempt to cleave the might warrior before him, but instead dug his heels in deep and wrapped his tail around debris; causing him to get yanked back and 'miss' his swing. </span></span></span></div>

<br>
<br>
Of course. Typical. She should've known. Just after making a good deal with Orchid, Arthur was doing exactly what she should've expecting he would do. Convincing the Orc was one thing, but she knew this would be a hopeless case, so she carefully considered her options. They felt rather limited. She could run off, as they wouldn't catch up to her, but she wasn't that level of suicidal. She could also order Orchid to brute-force Arthur into backing off, but she had enough decency not to force them into such a situation. She even also try talking him out of it, but that felt like it'd be a waste of time and breath. All things considered, she felt pretty forced to comply here.<br>
<br>
That's when something came to mind, as a mischievous glint adorned her eyes. Leaving the Underbelly would, by no means, force her to stop investigating. She just had to think a bit outside the box. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Say, Orchid, you don't have any titles or warrants on your name, right?”</b></span> She said, using her own [Appraisal D] on the Orc to check so, just to be sure. In case Orchid was clean enough, she'd continue. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“I believe it's time for me to focus my investigation on what these knights are doing here. I'm sure we can get some information on that at their base or by paying a visit to the Duke that's behind all of this. We might not be able to stop whomever is using the champion and we might see him used to force another Controls War, but at least we might learn more about what's going on.”</b></span><br>
<br>
She then turned to Arthur. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“We both know we can't call the Champion's current state 'alive' and we both know this situation will only raise more questions than it answers. You should even be aware that dropping the investigation right now might mean we miss out on our one shot at stopping another controls war or at stopping the champion from falling into the wrong hands. Hell, as Orchid said before, we might even miss out on a chance at trying to get through to him by seeing if he's still capable of any sentient enough behaviour to realise he's hurting those he ones swore to protect. If you really want to set all that aside solely due to wanting to get me out of here, despite me now having experienced the risks first-hand and still wishing to proceed, I'll considered my cooperation a repayment for saving me and leave, but I will continue to investigate in the city above, even if that might not be as successful and equally dangerous.”</b></span> Whilst she was sincere in her willingness to leave for the sake of repaying his act of saving her, she would attempt to use her [Persuasion E] to convince him of just how bullshit his argument was and of what the consequences of dropping out at this stage might be. Just like he didn't want her blood on his hands, she didn't like the idea of having a continued rampage by the champion on her hands, as she felt like they were close to figuring out what was controlling him.<br>
<br>
As for the second part, she frowned. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Are you sure you want to waste time on answers to those things right now?”</b></span> She couldn't help herself from being sceptical. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Regula is with the Adventurer's Guild, a blacksmith and enchanter as well, she's made some rumours go around due to using a really loud gun-like weapon during a horned rabbit hunt. You can probably find her at the forge of that dwarf rumoured to hate nobles. I forgot his name. Ah, she also made some waves when she hired folks to divine something for her all the way in the Magic Duchy, but I can't say I know what that was about exactly. That's about all I heard about her. As for the Sol County, I only heard bad stuff about it after Linneus Light took over. A lot of adventurers and mercenaries despise the man for sending them to their deaths and being a horrible leader, a foolish and vile human that hires adventurers and mercenaries to sent them on hopeless missions just to have them die. He's also rumoured to be little more than a merchant that bought his way up, without any real knowledge or leadership qualities. There are even rumours going around that he's trying to group together knights to start a rebellion or something, to the point where he's pretty high on my list of folks I might need to investigate. That said, the information I have on him is very one-sided, so I feel like there's more to him and his county.”</b></span></div>

Arthur found her persuasion attempt cheap; he did not care about the Underbelly at this point, with everything happening and the danger rising, he knew this just wasn't the end of it. He looked around him at the bodies, he saw dead gladiators, a couple dead Ryken military here and there, yet this halfling wanted to continue her investigation in this fucked up city. A city of criminals of what that were willing to anything and everything to Victorique because of her appearance, because of her body type, because they could. A Controls War is what this damnable place needed; Arthur would gladly see it all end. Arthur was aware that the Champion wasn't alive, he was some sort of machine most likely, despite him acting like a regular person before this. They spoke of his humility and kindness; despite the actions he took within the arena that was named after his blood-soaked history. Arthur himself wasn't perfect, he's done many terrible things in his life, but this wasn't the way a free city should go. Perhaps freedom truly does create chaos. <br>
<br>
" <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">At this point. Victorique.</span></b> " Arthur stared at the halfling with cold eyes, " <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">Let them take the Underbelly.</span></b> " It was almost weird for him to say, he himself was a criminal in certain ways, or at least it was implied but how he acted, talked and fought. " <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">This place is a city <i>YOU </i>do not belong in.</span></b> " Arthur stated, " <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">This place is a hub for the worst of criminality. I should know. I helped someone run a place like this before. Not specifically The Bloody Defiance, but I helped a man, a very influential man in a place similar to the Underbelly, Victorique. I am not a good man by any means.</span></b> " Arthur admitted, " <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">But that doesn't mean I want you to die because you wanted me to bring you down here to investigate a lost cause and now on the brink of a war. </span></b>" The man continued, looking at his transformed arm, he still could see the dead faces and their voices, the arm amplified that as much as it helped him. "<b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)"> But I do wonder why Auregnog has turned on his own people. Killing that Siren was a very out of character thing, he spoke weirdly...</span></b> " Arthur began to speak, almost to himself like Orchid and Victorique weren't there. His eyes then looked up at Victorique, he could tell she was not going to leave. Her weak attempt of seduction had no effect on Arthur<b> (C Grade Character)</b>. <br>
<br>
When given the information about Regula, Sol County and this Linneus Light. Arthur felt his skills were better needed there than this terrible Underbelly and Ryke, he hated the Academy and most likely would be kicked out soon due to him being a part of a gang. Not like he ever felt accepted there due to his status of being a forgiven murderer and those who thought he was prone towards violence. Sol County would be Arthur's next destination from here, after he got Victorique out of here. And Dayle, he couldn't leave that poor bastard in the Underbelly alone. Orchid could handle herself; she looked like she was made for this terrible place. Arthur took a slow and deep breath, exhaling slowly afterwards, " <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">The information was helpful, Victorique. Now then. </span></b>" Arthur stared down at the Halfling with his bloodthirsty eyes, not even a thank you. " <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">Since you want to stay in this place, I'm staying too. We had a deal after all. I won't abandon you. </span></b>" Despite his cold and rude demeanor, he was somewhat honorable. " <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">But know this. If it gets too hairy out there, I am pulling you out of here on my shoulder with you kicking and screaming.</span></b> " Arthur knelt down now at her level. " <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">I'm going to be honest with you. I've killed people for a living. I've hurt more people. Not just because I was good at it. Because I <i>like </i>it. I was a leashed dog for a manipulative mad man who loved unleashing me on people he wanted to die and hurt. I've turned people into cans of food, I've crushed people with large machines, I am not a good man, Victorique. I'm an unredeemable man. But I tell you this because I want you to know I am aware of who and what I am. But these people, here in the Underbelly, they either don't know or care. </span></b>" Arthur stared at Victorique with hateful eyes. "<b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)"> This place is a free state for evil.</span></b> " He stood up staring down at her, " <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">I want you to be scared of this place. </span></b>" Arthur grimaced <b>(Intimidation D), </b>his eyes were full of malice while he lifted his arm up, showing her once more what he truly was, a terrible human being. " <span style="color: #f37934"><b>Otherwise, you're a fool.</b></span> " He did this to protect her, Arthur knew what he was and aware of what this could do. Bringing her here was a mistake in the first place.<br>
<br>
Dayle would be able to hear voices in the distance, he would see Arthur and Victorique and a new member being that Orc that fought in the arena just earlier today.</div>

<br>
The world was truly full of surprises. The first was that, despite telling her he wouldn't argue, Arthur started to argue. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Letting this place fall is definitely not the worst option, but the way it'll go down, as things are going now, is probably going to be the worst and bloodiest possible manner.”</b></span> Having been in the place for a while now, Victorique agreed that the Underbelly wasn't worth preserving and she knew she didn't belong here. However, that didn't mean she didn't have a single care for it at all. Especially after the Siren's sacrifice.  <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“It's folks like that Siren that make me care. I'm not sure what was up with her, but I doubt she deserved to die and few and far between as they might be, I know there must be more people like her in this place. They're the ones that will probably suffer the most if another full-on Controls War breaks out or if the Champion keeps rampaging.”</b></span> <br>
<br>
Even more to her surprise, Arthur was okay with staying. She for sure believed he'd try to take her by force and that she'd be forced to have him and Orchid fight it out if she didn't agree. As for his threat to drag her out kicking and screaming, she pointed at the blue-ish purple marks around her throat from where she'd been choked half to death only minutes ago. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“You don't have to tell me, I'd rather not go through a second round of that. However, I'm faster and more agile than you, so I'd much rather you be the hero and stay behind to buy some time.”</b></span> She said, attempting to lighten the mood a little. It didn't really work out, as Arthur went on a tirade regarding how bad he was.<br>
<br>
She knew it was meant to intimidate her, but it didn't really do all that much (D Grade Character, tie). Besides, she wasn't an idiot, she already understood how shitty this place was and she'd already heard enough rumours about how Arthur was a bad guy. However, with some insight (D) she was convinced he wouldn't easily betray her, especially after all his previous actions. Besides, she also had her green guard as a back-up right now. The only thing she should really change is to try not to freak out again, even if she got splattered by the blood of someone trying to defend her again. The latter was still burned into her retinas, for that matter. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“If I wasn't scared of this place, I wouldn't have bothered finding you to get me in here to begin with, nor would I have hired Orchid, nor would I have calmly listened to your speech on how evil you are. I messed up when I underestimated how dramatising getting splattered in someone's blood was, as I normally only come into play when all the murdering and brutal scenes have long played out prior, but I'll make sure to keep my mind sharp if such a thing happens again.”</b></span></div>

Dayle and Roy were collecting their composure. The encounter with the champion gave them a bit too much tension. They thought of following Auregnog back outside, but the thought of facing that thing again made the both of them shiver. There was no need to say how terrifying the champion of the underbelly was, so the duo silently moved forward to the champions quarters. Not even a few steps later, the two could hear voices a distance away, echoing throughout the corridor. The nearer he got, the more familiar the voices became to him, save from the voice of one. Relief washed over him. At least the people around the next corner won't be immediately hostile to him. To make sure the other party wouldn't freak out and whip out a sudden attack, he purposely made his footsteps heavier and slowed down to let the sound echo.<br>
<br>
He could hear the voices of dissent and arguments when he turned to corner and leaned on the wall. Roy followed up behind him, the blood from his forehead still clinging unto his skin. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Ah, so you guys made it. Good, good."</span> He tried moving again, but the loss of adrenaline reminded him again of the broken ribs inside his chest. His breath was disrupted, but he took a deep breath to stabilize himself again amidst the pain. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"It's nice to see you guys again, and it's nice you guys' plan didn't go to shit, unlike mine."</span> He spoke. Roy eyed his bloodied claymore, and sighed. There were only two of them, and the duo's orientation made the space preserved for another person extremely obvious. Dayle glanced towards his subordinate, before looking at the group. Although his body was tenaciously still trying to project the confident aura he had before, his eyes betrayed his exhausted state. The only thing that seemed to take his mind off what happened recently was opening his mouth. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Say, you guys found out anything? I would say you did seeing Auregnog just dashed out and almost lopped our heads off, but I want details."</span> He asked, clutching his chest as it was hard for him to properly breathe. <span style="color: #b8312f">"Preferably while on the way out, and preferably on a backdoor. The front's pretty congested, with everyone and everything."</span> It was only then he let his eye go over to the orc with them, and asked belatedly. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"So, who's the orc?"</span> <br>

It didn't take long for Orchid and Victorique to be found, though fortunately not but Auregnog or any knights. It was Arthur. Unfortunately, he seems to be under some impression that he has the right to be given them orders. Orchid is thankful for his help, but he's awefully bossy for someone who's suppose to be cooperating with the mission. Then again, maybe investigating the champion wasn't his mission. Orchid stayed silent as he went on about explaining his history, with Orchid somewhat listening but mostly keeping an eye out for any trouble that might decide now is a good time to ambush the trio. What she got was basically that Arthur felt that Victorique's job is done and that she should leave this place to it's fate. Ordinarily Orchid would agree, however she just had this conversation with Victorique and her employer still wishes to proceed with her mission, and Orchid's still working with her, so the mercenary didn't feel any particular need to rebuttal Arthur. If he wants to leave now that his job is done, Orchid understands that and wouldn't raise much a fuss. <span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">"If it matters, I'm not exactly here to <i>help</i> the Underbelly myself. I'm mostly here to profit off the chaos and let's be honest here Arthur, I'm sure literally everyone else is too. It's not really a matter of doing right or wrong but taking advantage of the situation for our own gain. Frankly speaking if it weren't for the bizarre system I seem to be under, I would've been satisfied looting Auregnog's room and getting out of town. But I'm under contract now, so Miss Victorique's battles are my battles."</span><br>
<br>
Shortly after Orchid heard footsteps coming. She positioned herself to protect Victorique when some more rough characters showed up. No one she recognized, but they seemed to know Victorique and Arthur. More hired muscles she assumed. And from their injuries, they just got out of a scrap themselves. The stranger explained that he just had a brush in with Auregnog though something must've been funny with the champion considering that these two people are alive.<span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)"> "The old champ really does have a screw loose doesn't he? Name's Orchid, I'm a mercenary. Was fighting for the arena, but now I'm fighting for Miss Victorique. I'll let the others inform you about Auregnog and that whole mess, I know another exit the gladiators take to get out of here. It leads to some boats that connects to the river. Shouldn't be too populated but honestly with everything that's going on, expect the unexpected."</span> In a strange way, with so many people here Orchid felt less of a need to try and sleuth out this mystery about the champion. She's sure some of these folks could rub enough of their brain cells together and come to a conclusion. In the mean time Orchid needs to focus on making sure they don't end up getting blindsided by rogue knights or a murderous champion.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">"Follow me, quickly."</span> Gripping her poleaxe at the ready, Orchid would lead the group to an exit. They need to get out of here and somewhere safe so they can share their information and plan some sort of attack. As it is, too much chaos to make sense of anything. And if Orchid's hunch is right, whoever is the mastermind wants everyone to be panicking and confused so they can get away with their maniacal deeds. And if they succeed, that means Orchid doesn't get access to the loot, and that's <i>terrible.</i></div>

He didn't take his vision off of Lykra as Wirejaw charged at the Champion, he gently tapped his polearm on the ground a couple times just as Wirejaw closed in the distance. When Wirejaw got in close, the robotic champion quickly moved backwards, leaving a projection image of himself there for a moment as the back of the mace on the polearm struck Wirejaw in his jaw, the pick side slashing Wirejaw's cheek giving him a gash as the spikes penetrated his skin under his jaw, launching him into the air about six feet up. Auregnog then leapt up into the air and grabbed the flying lizard by his leg, throwing him down into Lykra who moved out of the way with grace. Wirejaw slammed into the ground and bounced forward away from the two. The two Blooded Guard than began their fight. Wirejaw was nothing more than a distraction to both of these highly experienced warriors. Sword and axe connected very quickly as Lykra was pushed back. Wirejaw's head would be spinning from the damage he took, it felt like he was hit by a truck, especially with his momentum it felt much worst. He would feel hands on his shoulders, and he would be pulled away from the fight, it was Vido and Lunes trying to get Wirejaw away from the very violent fight in front of them between two comrades. " <s><b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"><i>D-Death to you and your family, traitor.</i></span></b></s> " Lykra was using more spinning moves against the Champion, evading his precise attacks but never really attempting an attack. She threw away her shield as the pursuit continued. <br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1660449188929-png.1011951/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/949/949081-afabea8b8b63ded4b445310a2a6e0628.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1660449188929.png" title="1660449188929.png" width="100" height="148" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
As the fight continued around the bleachers of the arena, the two stepping on bodies and crushing skulls. Lykra made a mistake, blocking a feint, Auregnog stabbed the spearhead into Lykra's stomach, causing her to recoil in pain. Auregnog stepped forward grabbing her by her helmet and tossing her into the side of the arena rail. Lykra hit the rail with a lot of force, her helmet flying off her head while she bounced off the rail hitting the arena floor and rolling across the floor towards the center. Auregnog moved towards Lykra but quickly sidestepped as one of the cultists attacked Auregnog from behind, Auregnog than began fending off all these different cultists. Wirejaw would come to just as the red seamed cultist was in front of the Divees Crew. He looked down at the group with a smile, holding his dagger in his hands that were formally on her stomach. " <b><span style="color: rgb(85, 57, 130)">Hmm. The Divees Crew. You were not supposed to be here.</span></b> " The man chuckled cruelly. " <b><span style="color: rgb(85, 57, 130)">Yes, you all show up. Being some of the only survivors here and yet, you still are here. Not even leaving. Confusing tactics. Your leader is not here either. And I don't sense their corpse nearby. </span></b>" The leader before them spoke. "<b><span style="color: rgb(85, 57, 130)"> And please. Call me, Orcus.</span></b> " The man smiled evilly at them, his purple eyes looking at the few crew members left as his grinned showed his yellow stained teeth. "<b><span style="color: rgb(85, 57, 130)"> And you.</span></b> " He looked at Wirejaw, " <b><span style="color: rgb(85, 57, 130)">You're a new addition, am I right? i want to hear from you first. </span></b>" Orcus stated.<br>

Arthur sighed deeply of frustration upon hearing out Victorique, she obviously wouldn't leave unless worst happened to her, with the execution of Sticker and Xix nearly killing her, she still didn't think it was a time to leave. " <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">You are a fool. But a persistent fool, for sure. I respect that. </span></b>" Arthur stated with a shake of his head, " Fine. " Arthur made a deal and he would uphold it, otherwise what good was his word. His attention was moved to Orchid who now spoke, which made Arthur spoke, " <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">I know your type, Orchid. Mercenaries care mainly about themselves or whoever or whatever they are paid to protect. No judgement, I'm basically in the same boat at the moment. </span></b>" Arthur heard someone approaching and quickly turned around with his ghastly appendage ready to cast a weapon, although he calmed down seeing Dayle. " <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">Dayle. Was wondering where you've been. You looked like you've seen a ghost. Either way, it's good to see a familiar face. </span></b>" Arthur stated, although while his words spoke truth, they came off as cold. His eyes looked at both Dayle and Roy as Orchid spoke, but then he noticed something once they finished speaking. " <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">Where's the third one? Zeke?</span></b> " Arthur asked, unaware of the situation. <br>
<br>
As Orchid tried to take them to an exit, they would find that the exit had been blocked by fallen rubble that looked purposely placed there, possibly by the Ryken knights. There were only a couple ways to leave this bloodied pit, the way Dayle came from or the elevator that led to the arena. There was faint fighting happening above them in the arena but they only had so many ways out. There was rope nearby on one of the Ryken Knight's corpses.</div>

Orchid lead the group towards the underground water entrance. She had figured it would be safe since it's not connected to any main entrance way, so the only people who would know about this path are other gladiators and staffers. Unfortunately, it seems like some people had been here. And seeing the corpse of a Ryken Knight, she could assume that Auregnog had been here recently too. <span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">"Shit. Auregnog must've chased the knights here and those bastards rigged this tunnel to collapse to cut him off. Which means we have to take the elevator... Which I'm sure Auregnog passed by, so the guys operating it are gone or dead. So effectively trapped. Goddamn."</span> Orchid cursed. This complicates things a lot. While Orchid was somewhat confident that she could dig through this rock with enough time and force, there's no telling if those knights are still on the other side. And considering she, Arthur, and Xix had a hard time dealing with two, who knows how many of them are on the other side ready for a final stand.<br>
<br>
Looking at the corpse, Orchid notes that the poor sod looked like he got cut down before he could reach the tunnel. Maybe he tried to do some sort of brave last stand to slow down Auregnog, but considering that his sword was still in his sheath, more likely the champion caught up to the knight and couldn't make it past the rubble. Checking the body for anything of note, all she finds is a big length of rope, some extra weapons that she isn't too interested with, and his armor. <span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">"Some rope, weapons, and armor. Might as well take it, we'll need the rope to get out of here, and the armor could be useful for a disguise if we need to infiltrate those knights for some reason. Help me loot this guy."</span> Looking it over the armor could fit her probably, or maybe one of these other gentlemen. If they were all in this together and intend to investigate this more, maybe they could use this armor as a disguise. But looking like a Ryken knight will only go so far. They probably have a bunch of terminology and code phrases that helps them identify each other or something, so simply looking like a knight won't be enough. Then again... Maybe this dead knight could explain the intricacies of the order to them.<br>
<br>
It was just a hunch, but Orchid has a feeling that Arthur has some sort of devil ghost power with his funny arm and generally macabre persona. If nothing else he seems like a smart guy so maybe he knows enough about the Ryken knights to convincingly play the part. Orchid was certain he and Victorique could work something out if they can stop slapping each other around. So Orchid began to strip the dead knight of his weapons, armor, and other equipment as she spoke to Arthur. <span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">"Hey Arthur, those demon ghost powers you got, think you can use them to talk to this dead guy? Maybe get some intel out of him like what the hell the knights are doing here or something. In fact Dayle, did you happen to see any of these Ryken Knights die on your way to us? Even if Arthur can't talk to the dead I'm sure one of them has something important that'll give us a lead on what these knights are doing snooping around here. A note, key, something."</span> It was a long shot, but they couldn't afford to leave behind any evidence that could be useful. Plus more loot is never a bad thing. And the fact that these guys were traveling so light could mean they have some sort of base nearby, or at least maybe they have support staff that carries their stuff for them. Squires, slaves, servants, whatever Ryken Knights have for menial labor.</div>

<span style="font-family: 'courier new'"><span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)"><span style="font-size: 18px">He felt fear more than anything right now, and something incredibly dense in his brain kept his legs and arms moving forward, toward incredible danger. He didn't expect a solid hit, but the afterimage was an unexpected touch. The sound of his tough scales meeting hammer ringing through his head as he was launched upwards and sent flying before being yanked down to the ground with a heavy slam and sending rebounding against the ground, skidding to a halt out of their combat range and groaning as pain pulsed from his thick skull down his spine. "<b>He hits like a damn cannon</b>" He wheezed, his vision blurred as he could barely see the fight between them take place. He knew he had bitten off more than he could chew, but he had foolishly thought Lyrka was in danger. He was the one out of his depth. More memories threatened to surface, blood trickling through his scales and spattering across the already filthy ridden arena floor. His eyes glossing over the two bodies he was nearly looking down at. It brought a dreadful sense of deja-vu. <br>
<br>
<i>A battle took place where multiple died...a battlefield? he was a much shorter man adorned in a blue uniform.</i><br>
<br>
He snapped out of it when he realized he was being dragged by vido and Lunes, though he joined only recently, they still risked their lives to save him. His conscience slowly stirring out of the thrashin the champion had given him. "<b>ya'll...came fer me. Ah guess that was pretty stupid huh</b>" He chuckled, coming to and seeing that cultists were once again playing their hand. This time actually walking up to the crew. The obvious leader from before speaking up, knowing the crew. He wondered what their reputation was like, but figured that wasn't the important understanding here. The man named orcus spoke about their leader, and his aptitude for survival. That was some strangely good news coming from such a sinister figure. He didn't like that smile; it made his blood boil. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #fba026"><span style="font-size: 18px">He had to hold firm as he saw Lyrka get devastated and tossed into the ground. His eyes flicking from her to Orcus. He was split in two because this was an opportunity to try and figure these people out, but...as stubborn as she was. He couldn't watch Lyrka die. <br>
<br>
"<b>Mah names Wirejaw, ah don' understand what yer doin here an why that guy is swinging like a devil is in em', but you said we survived right? Well so did she</b>" He said, pointing at Lyrka "<b>Ya'll were the ones with the zombies an such right? she survived all that ta get here, just ta be cheated. Mah gut tells me he ain't yer doing so I ain't asking fer yer help, but will ya please let me try an save her? she don't have much time mister Orcus" </b>He said, he couldn't help how he was and what his heart yearned for, and the last thing he wanted was someone else to die; especially someone so willful. </span></span></span></div>

It felt surprisingly good to have the big hunk of green muscle back her up. If anything, Victorique was weary to keep her excitement down as to not end up going on a power trip. She should definitely keep hiring mercenaries like this in the future, although she was clever enough to figure that someone like Orchid was probably a one in a million and that most others would be a lot worse candidates for such a job. The fact that Arthur caved in only made it better, worth being called a fool for, even. <br>
<br>
That's when the presence of Dayle graced their eyes. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Where have you been?”</b></span> She asked, a little confused. That said, with how they were looking, Victorique didn't have to ask about the missing third. She already figured that they might not be with them any-more. One didn't need a whole lot of insight or investigation to reach that conclusion. Either way, it seemed like the exit Orchid was trying to take them to had crumbled, leaving them with only two bad options to traverse. <br>
<br>
Well, the elevator wouldn't be too much of an issue. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“I could jump up the elevator shaft and throw down that conveniently placed rope over there. If you're brave enough, I might even be able to take someone up top in my pocket dimension. I'm not sure if there's oxygen in there though, so you'll want to hold your breath.”</b></span> <br>
<br>
That said, she couldn't help being a bit sceptical of what the knights had been planning, so she quickly looked around to see if there were any clues as to what they'd been plotting bringing rope here. To that extend, she figured she might as well investigate them a bit more thoroughly to see if there were any clues on them regarding their reasons for being here. Some orders or items that might indicate intent and purpose. [Using Ultimate Detective D]<br>
<br>
When Orchid mentioned looting, she frowned a bit. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Let me try to investigate him a bit first, at least, to check if anything on here might show us a bit more about their reason for being here and why they thought they'd need rope.”</b></span> Luckily enough, Orchid seemed to realise that as well herself, not long after. <br>

<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1660457080530-png.1011982/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/949/949112-0816dcb34b0fe15ff9e4234588660f04.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1660457080530.png" title="1660457080530.png" width="100" height="146" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
Arthur rubbed his forehead, between the constant faces of death, yammering of said dead faces and now them basically trapped in this dungeon with the only way out being having to go after the Champion or try to climb up where the elevator was at. Where the elevator was at there were dead strongmen, they had loincloths on only, but their bodies were impressively powerful looking, unfortunately they were now corpses on the floor in a pool of their own blood. Arthur shook his head, always surrounded by death he was. His head turned when Orchid addressed him, asking him to see if the soul of this knight was still here. Arthur almost laughed, " <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">Demon powers... Sure, more dead faces for me to look.</span></b> " Arthur shook his head at the comment, he did see the halfling Victorique use her investigative abilities and searched the body. Arthur glared a bit, " <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">You're a damn cop, aren't you?</span></b> " Arthur asked before he shook his head, he was no longer in that world. This was a new world. " <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">Never mind. </span></b>" Arthur sighed then activated his Sixth Sense E, his eyes looked pass the dead faces of his past sins to the dead body of a Ryken Knight before them. He would see in his vision an ethereal man sitting on his own corpse with his face in his hands, sobbing. Arthur sighed; it was going to be one of these types.<br>
<br>
The former hitman made his way closer to the corpse until the spirit noticed Arthur who was looking down at the man, " <i><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204)"><s>Who are you?</s> </span></i>" The man asked Arthur but then looked down, "<s><i><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204)"> Ah. No one can see me anyways; I already have these damn roaches desecrating my body and Underdwellers looting me like the damn animals they are. </span></i></s>" The spirit complained. Arthur rolled his eyes and knelt down to be face to face with the spirit, "<b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)"> I can see and hear you. </span></b>" Arthur stated in his cold tone, in which it scared the spirit a bit until they calmed down and readjusted, "<i><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204)"><s> I-I didn't mean to- </s></span></i>" Arthur placed a hand up, " <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">No. I actually agree with you. Believe me. If I could leave now I would.</span></b> " Arthur said, " <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">This place is a terrible place, only for the worst of people and it will never get better. </span></b>" He continued. The spirit nodded, " <i>Yes! That was what I was saying! Although the damn Duke never really listened to what we usually said.</i> " The spirit growled, his attire what his armor that he currently was wearing when he first died. " <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">Duke?</span></b> " Arthur asked. The spirit nodded, " <i>Yes. Duke Vengron. He's been so obsessed with the Underbelly. Kept on saying that this will bring his family's name from the ground up once again.</i> " The spirit continued. " <i>And it cost him my life and many others.</i> " He looked down the hallway they were in, Arthur's eyes followed and saw many other spirits, they filled the hallway up, reenacting their fights like nothing happened. " <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">It would seem so. </span></b>" Arthur looked back to the spirit, " <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">Where is this Duke Vengron at? And was everything here his doing?</span></b> " Arthur continued his questioning. The spirit looked back to Arthur. " <i><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204)">I don't know where the Duke is, but he is here in the Underbelly. He may be out in the streets spilling more blood. As for everything. Yes. He kept on gloating about outwitting a cult here in the Underbelly that worships dead royals from a time long forgotten. He was even able to convince the Champion's 2nd in command for some reason. He wouldn't shut up about it.</span></i> " The spirit growled. Arthur had a look of shock on his face, " <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">Wait, what the fuck?</span></b> " He said, his voice sounding out of character. " <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">I mean <i>cough cough</i> what the fuck?</span></b> " Arthur sounded cold again, trying to play off his shock. " <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">How the fuck did he even manage to do that?</span></b> " Arthur asked with a angry voice. <br>
<br>
The spirit shrugged with a wave of his hands, " <i><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204)">I am not sure. He said he had some sort of information that the cult wanted and with the 2nd in command? I am not sure how he did that. The Duke has a way with people, despite his annoying personality.</span></i> " The spirit shook his head. " <i>Despite that, he was able to convince them to join him. Destroy the Underbelly he kept bellowing, hell we even had a meeting with these cultists. They are some twisted and sick people. I think that changed my mind about the Underbelly and how messed up this place is, they are so much worst.</i> " The knight shivered. Arthur stood up, " <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">Well that's all I needed. </span></b>" Arthur sighed looking at the spirit, " <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">Allow me to put you to rest.</span></b> " Arthur raised his ghastly looking hand in which the Spirit stared at the terrifying hand. " <i>Yes. Please. I want to see my parents again.</i> " The spirit had a smile. " <i>And thank you, it was nice to talk again. Instead of constantly fighting. </i>" Arthur hesitated for a moment, his eyes looked down for a moment. " <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">Yeah... It was.</span></b> " Arthur whispered as he swiped his arm over the body where the spirit was and quickly they faded away into nothingness. Arthur stood there for a moment thinking on his words before turning to the group explaining what the spirit had told him. <br>
<br>
As for Victorique, she wouldn't be able to find anything on the body besides a note, stating. <br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><i>Duke Vengron doesn't just want the Champion dead, he wants to flatten this blood sport arena as well, this rope and many other bundles will be used to pull the pillars holding this blood filled palace down from underneath, while we may be trapped, there are docks nearby in which we can make our way down into the caves of the Underbelly. Through there we will meet with the Eagle Company and they will guide us out to the surface and then we can leave this decrypted place. Kill any Underdweller you come across. Civilian or gang member. Adult or child. Vengron's orders. The Blue Viscera Occult will not survive this either. If we can't kill them in a head on fight, we will bury them in rubble. For the safety of Ryken.</i>​</div><br>
The note was bloodied but thanks to Victorique's investigative skills she made out the words of their alternate plan. They planned on betraying the occult that they had not come across yet.</div>

Victorique felt like her entire trip here had been useless when she learned that Arthur could talk to a dead guy and get all the information he wanted. If she'd known that, what was the reason for someone with investigative skills, like her, to come along? She felt like the only thing she did here was... just getting into arguments whilst being there and spending some time on nearly dying. One the one hand, getting all the information was nice (even though she could presumable only hear Arthur's side of the conversation), it backed up what she'd figured out so far and then some. Well, it did leave some gaps. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“So... where's the duke at and what did he manage to do that's so surprising?”</b></span><br>
<br>
As for Victorique herself, trying to not feel totally useless, the best she could find was a note. Well, actually... Whilst it didn't seem too important, it'd serve as evidence. After all, the testimony of a dead guy wasn't really worth all that much. This note might be. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Has any of you ever heard of the Eagle Company or Blue Viscera Occult?”</b></span> Those were two new names on the list of parties involved in the mess here. She also managed to piece together two things, at least. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Seems like the cult and the knights planned to double-cross each-other, the knights by planning to trap the cult here and having the arena crash down upon them... and I'm pretty sure the Champion going after all the cult is probably the cult's way to backstab or counter-act the knights.”</b></span><br>
<br>
Either way, she finally got enough pieces of the puzzle to be satisfied. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“That should be enough information to report back in. If anything, with this note as some evidence, I'd rather bring this up top as soon as possible, in case the Adventurer's Guild wants to get involved as well. Learning what exactly is gong on with the Champion or if, and if so how, he's being controlled would be a nice bonus, but I'm not sure if we'll have the time and opportunity for it.”</b></span></div>

Roy trembled at the mention of Zeke, but Dayle pat his back.<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"> "He's... not with us. Anymore."</span> He said, sorrow hidden inside his confident tone. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Try not to ask what happened."</span> He sighed, before urging Roy to follow him with the others. Roy nodded, albeit struggling so, before moving. But when they tried to reach their destination, the other exit was blocked. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Son of a bitch..." </span>He turned his head when Orchid addressed him, and nodded his head. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Dead knights, sure. Clues? I'm not in the looting mood right now, so any one of you could do it."</span><br>
<br>
When he heard of the plan of the overworlders, his eyes widened as he punched the wall. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Bastards! They're going too far!"</span> His frustration about the whole situation seemed to boil over him as he paced around, while ruffling his hair. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"It's not enough that we're being put through this, so they're thinking of sinking the entire fucking place to the ground?!"</span> But contrary to his actions, his eyes was clear. There was nothing the clouded his vision, and his gaze laid upon the people around him. He listened to the two most vocal in the group and made his own conjectures and thoughts. When it came to question him about the knights or the cult, he nodded his head and spoke. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"The Blue Viscera cult, I can only think of one, and it's those guys at the front door. They use some kind of substance that turns people into zombies, and are lunatics themselves. Other than that, I have no clue. The same goes for the Eagle Company."<br>
<br>
"All these subtlety means they're trying to be secretive about it. No doubt reporting to the guild would put their future plans to a halt."</span> He spoke, as he sat on the floor and leaned on the wall. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"But the question comes with the safety of the broker, and all the involved parties." </span>His gaze swept to everyone.<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"> "None of you can guarantee there's no moles in the guild."</span> Cupping his chin, Dayle furrowed his eyebrows and lowered his gaze to the floor. He wasn't a scholar, or an experienced detective, but he could understand a few points about the entire chaos. One, Auregnog's circle has been a thorn on the Duke, thus the supposed "death" of the champion. Two, the matter had to be handled without information leaking out and exposing the Duke's plans. Three, the two factions that are supposed to work together are double-crossing each other, meaning there never was a mutual benefit from the very beginning.<br>
<br>
Dayle scratched his head. This was a mess of a situation, and he couldn't even figure out who was winning and who was sinking. He scratched his head in annoyance, but he couldn't help but agree with what Victorique had to say. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"In the end, the guild's still our best bet. I have my backing to cover me, so at least my safety can be guaranteed."</span> His eyes swept over to the rest. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"You guys, on the other hand... well, reaching the Underbelly in the first place meant you guys have connections on your own."</span> Then his gaze went to the ground before muttering <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"As much as a bastard I am, putting uninvolved people to the ground still doesn't sit well with me."</span> Then he stood up, his body ready for action. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"So let's get this over with. I'm not good with my head, no matter how much I don't want to admit it, so you guys will have to tell me what to do."</span><br>

It was a good thing Victorique and Arthur seemed to have keener senses about sleuthing, since Victorique was able to find a bloodstained note that Orchid had missed and Arthur really does seem to be able to speak to the dead. In the mean time Orchid kept watching, listening to what everyone had to say. It was a lot to take in but ultimately, Orchid got the gist of it: They needed to get out of the Undercity. <span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">"Huh, fancy that. We've gone full circle now eh boss? Now we got to get you out of here and back topside so you can report to your bosses about this whole affair. But this time we got more hard facts to work with instead of making up excuses to avoid the slaughter. Though frankly speaking, we're probably still going to wade knee-deep into a bloodbath whether we like it or not. If what y'all are saying is true, there's basically no way outta here without a fight. I'm sure the knights are on the other side of this wall, Auregnog is running rampant in the arena, and even if we sneak past him those cultist motherfuckers are waiting for us. And even if we get past them somehow, this duke fellow is probably raising hell too. A real carnival of killers."</span><br>
<br>
As it seems like everything that could be done here was finished, Orchid finished looting the dead knight and grabbed the rope. She'd have to gather supplies from the dead on the way out, but she'll be more frugal this time and won't bother stripping every corpse of their weapons and armor. Just smaller things. Either way once everyone had gathered their wits Orchid would escort them towards the lifts. Just as she suspected, the lift operators were dead. Maybe if Orchid and one other were pulling the ropes, they could get the lift to work again but they'd still be stuck down here. So Orchid was going to need to rely on her legs instead. Dropping the excess loot and limbering up, Orchid looked up the shaft.<span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)"> "Aight, I'll take some hops and steps to get up to the top, secure the rope onto something, and we can use it to climb out. I'll handle it in case there's a nasty surprise waiting for my up there, might end up pasting me across the lift if I'm not too careful. Be back in a bit."</span><br>
<br>
Even in her heavy armor, Orchid was more than able to jump a good thirty feet off the ground, latching onto the brickwork for a brief moment before jumping up against towards another section of wall, slowly but surely jumping her way up to the next level. Once she was up she made sure to take a look around the area to make sure it was safe. No cultist trying to hide in the shadows, no Auregnog about to burst into the room screaming about heresy. Once it seemed like the coast was clear Orchid would secure the rope and let it fall down to the others below while the she-ork stayed to keep watch. They weren't out of the fire yet.</div>

<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1660690816114-png.1013094/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/950/950224-cf3a6f3e422c559798a9c3a1881a7ba0.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1660690816114.png" title="1660690816114.png" width="100" height="100" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
As Orchid made her way up the large shaft to where the arena was at, it looked clear but there were sounds of distant fighting that she couldn't see, letting down the rope and allowing everyone in the Warrior's Respite to climb on up. When everyone was able to climb up to the top and into the bloodstained arena, they would see that the bleachers around them were stained red with blood and stacked with bodies upon bodies that were cut, slashed, crushed, torn and broken. Some even all five. Before anyone could comment on it, Lykra was seen flying above the group and fell onto the floor before them, she rolled a few times and then let out a pain groaned rolling onto her back, holding her stomach where she had been stabbed, " <b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">That fucking bastard...! <i>Aghh!</i></span></b> " Lykra growled through gritted teeth, hitting the ground with a fist as she attempted to get up as she held her wound, her entire armor was already stained with matted blood that were different colors, red, brown, even black. But with where she was stabbed at, she was leaking blood, a lot of it.<br>
<br>
When the group moved to help her, they would hear fighting more clearly and see that Auregnog was taking on hooded men with strange looking daggers, being surrounded by quite a few of them. He was able to fend them off and take out a few but another would take their place, coming out of the shadows to replace the last just taken out, with the familiar red seamed cultist, to only Dayle and Arthur, talking with a downed Wirejaw and the... Divees Crew? That would come to be a surprise to Arthur that they would involuntarily involve themselves in this, as Victorique would also recognize them from earlier that same day.<br>
<br>
For Wirejaw, the man who named himself Orcus laughed, "<b><span style="color: rgb(85, 57, 130)"> Let her die. </span></b>" Orcus stated, " <b><span style="color: rgb(85, 57, 130)">That woman is nothing but a traitor to her own people.</span></b> " He raised a finger, " <b><span style="color: rgb(85, 57, 130)">And- </span></b>" Vido rushed forward at Orcus with his sword ready to slash him down but Orcus moved quickly enough to punch Vido just as he raised his sword, making the man fall backwards and drop his weapon, he held his nose as blood was pouring out, Lunes and a couple other of the Divees Crew began to tend to Vido now. He growled in pain staring at Orcus with angry eyes. Orcus didn't look happy with the attempt to kill him, still having a finger raised he looked over the group, " <b><span style="color: rgb(85, 57, 130)">That's your only warning! If you try that again, I will have my underlings tear you asunder while you still breath! </span></b>" Orcus was insulted personally. He cleared his throat and looked back at Wirejaw, twisted his neck to the side as he popped his neck in a very unnatural way. " <b><span style="color: rgb(85, 57, 130)">As I was saying. That woman is nothing but a traitor to her people. Her people being The Blooded Guard. The only reason I am allowing her to live at the moment,</span></b> " His hooded cultists continued to attack the Champion. " <b><span style="color: rgb(85, 57, 130)">Is because I will be dealing with her myself. </span></b>" Orcus chuckled. " <span style="color: #553982"><b>I personally </b></span><i><b><span style="color: rgb(85, 57, 130)">HATE</span></b></i><span style="color: #553982"><b> traitors and I was allowed to deal with her myself. And I am waiting for someone. </b></span>" Orcus stated, " <b><span style="color: rgb(85, 57, 130)">And there is nothing you can do to stop me.</span></b> " He pointed his dagger at the large lizard, confidant in his own abilities that he was not intimidated by the large lizard.<br>
<br>
Although that would all be stopped by a sudden call out. " <b><span style="color: rgb(41, 105, 176)">ENOUGH!</span></b> " A voice rang out into the arena his voice loud enough to be heard by all, when everyone looked there would be an honor guard of Ryken Knights and a large knight standing at the top of the bleachers. Victorique would know who this mysterious knight was, they wore the armor of the Vengron House. While not purple like the usual colors of Ryken military, the Vengron House armor was always very recognizable with its size, bulkiness and distinct helmet. With his plan having failed, he would have to come and deal with his own dirty work. There was a large number of knights behind the Duke as they made their way in, Vengron began walking his way down the steps while carrying his large family axe, it showed it's age but it still had a sharp edge to it. " <b><span style="color: rgb(41, 105, 176)">Enough. </span></b>" He rumbled. Auregnog even stopped himself, the cultists all turned their heads to see the Duke in the flesh. Orcus would chuckle evilly as the Duke made his 'heroic' appearance. <br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/70ce621d2bbdee6d9983d5a7305c4fd3-jpg.1013137/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/950/950267-34f80e212d87be7f38ffec7286cca510.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="70ce621d2bbdee6d9983d5a7305c4fd3.jpg" title="70ce621d2bbdee6d9983d5a7305c4fd3.jpg" width="152" height="100" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
" <b><span style="color: rgb(41, 105, 176)">This has gone on long enough.</span></b> " Vengron stated as he stared down the Champion who looked back at him, pulling his polearm back into a defensive position. Vengron turned his head, his eyes were glowing under his helmet seeing all those who have survived. Vengron huffed seeing the survivors, he didn't say anything for almost ten seconds before nodded slowly. "<b><span style="color: rgb(41, 105, 176)"> You all that have survived. Those who have made it so far. </span></b>" His voice was heavy and showed that he was an actual warrior. Not like the usual pompous noble who stayed in their large ivory towers and grew fat on luxurious food. "<b><span style="color: rgb(41, 105, 176)"> I offer you all a chance to leave right now. This doesn't involve any of you. You were all caught at the wrong time it seems. You can leave now, while I am being so generous. Any who stay will have their fate sealed.</span></b> " Vengron stated, " Especially you few in the arena center. Do not help the lieutenant down there, leave her to her fate. " This caught one of the Divees Crew attention and a few turned their attention seeing Arthur. Lunes patted Vido and Wirejaw on their shoulders, " <b><span style="color: rgb(84, 172, 210)">Oi. Arthur is down there. He is here. The one with the weird arm.</span></b> " Lunes said, when they saw Arthur he was staring at them with a confused look. <br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><span style="font-family: 'times new roman'"><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)"><span style="font-size: 26px">Arthur Verg</span></span></span><br>
<br>

As the situation seemed to look bad, it only got worst with the arrival of the Duke himself, with his plan failed it seemed he knew he needed to attend this meeting himself. Auregnog had no help at the moment, but he wasn't called a one-man army for nothing, then the Cultists were here, and they had numbers and a very secretive leader along with some more help being the undead. His eyes moved to see the Divees Crew, he had to take a double take when he saw them, " What the fuck are they doing here? " He growled; he didn't think they were going to show up here of all places. "<b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)"> Hey, Victorique. This bastard is allowing us to leave but we information that could turn the cult against the Duke. If you can reach up there and present your theory to him. I think we could turn the cult against him and make this an all-out war.</span></b> " Arthur whispered to the halfling. " <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">You have actual evidence and I only have words. While I want to get you out of here. I can't leave now, I know the Divees Crew won't leave. But I think once the distraction is up, you should go ahead and leave with both Dayle and Orchid. I don't want the Duke to sac the Underbelly. He will win if he has the cult on his side.</span></b> " Arthur stated. <br>
<br>
The Duke rang out, " <b><span style="color: rgb(41, 105, 176)">Now! What is your choice! Any that stay will be shown no mercy. </span></b>" He roared. <br></div>

<br>
<br>
As Victorique surmised, Dayle had lost one of his companions.  <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“I'm sorry for your loss. He seemed like a fine fellow.”</b></span> She was honest on that part, as Dayle and his two goons had thus far shown to be some of the most decent Underbelly denizens she'd come across. She took note of the few things Dayle managed to mention regarding the Blue Viscera Occult, but he sadly didn't know anything about the Eagle Company. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Any large institute has moles. However, once the information is in the open, the potential for moles to use it becomes limited. If I report it to multiple people at once, what moles might be among them will have little power to do anything about it.”</b></span><br>
<br>
She nodded towards Orchid. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“We're still missing some facts, but we've got enough to report back in.”</b></span> Being knee-deep in blood for Orchid probably meant drowning in it for Victorique, so she'd rather not think too much about it. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“The knights aren't exactly our opponents, so perhaps we can make something work.”</b></span> She watched as the Orc sluggishly got up the elevator shaft. She could've done it much better herself, she was sure of that much, but whatever would await them at the top was probably better left for Orchid to find out. <br>
<br>
She was surprised when some woman came flying over their heads short after entering the arena. If she didn't know better, she'd have thought they wandered into an active wrestling match with such a spectacle. She's normally check if the woman was okay, but with this being the Underbelly, Victorique had learned her lessons and stayed away from her instead. She clicked her tongue when another main player in theses schemes showed up. In case the others didn't recognise him, she pointed it out; <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“That'd be the Duke himself.”</b></span> Being offered to get out alive was pretty neat, but she sort-off wondered if he was honest or not. Sadly enough, his armour and him being far off made trying to use [insight] on him pretty difficult.<br>
<br>
She listened to Arthur and nodded. For once, he was making a whole lot of sense. Scarily so. She wondered if he'd been hit in the head or something. Either way, she was already scanning the arena. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“I can get up there.”</b></span> She said with confidence. There was one thing she wasn't sure about, however, as Arthur seemed to suggest turning the cult against the knights, while it felt more logical to turn the knights against the cult. After all, hadn't the cult already been attacking the knights below this arena after learning the knights were double-crossing them. Well, she could catch two birds with one stone either way. That said, the fact that the cultists were fighting the Champion was putting some holes in her theory that they were controlling him. Quite a few holes, actually...<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Wait, why do you want me to help the cult all of a sudden and go against the duke?”</b></span> Having no clue who the cult was fighting, even with all her insight and investigation combined, Victorique couldn't make sense of what was going through Arthur's head at the moment. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“I thought you were fine with the Duke taking down the Underbelly and it doesn't seem smart to make an enemy out of someone that influential... I'm still convinced that another Controls War isn't the way to solve the existence of this place, don't get me wrong, but supporting that cult seems equally bad...”</b></span> <br>
<br>
All of sudden, as she was talking, she connected the dots. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Wait, those guys are part of your gang, aren't they?”</b></span> She'd seen little of them, but she had come across some of them when they entered the Underbelly. Even though it'd only been a day, that event already felt like ages ago. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Alright, I've got an idea, but I don't think I'll need to climb up there for it... this should at least distract everyone. Try to get anyone you don't want to get caught up in battle out of here during the confusion.”</b></span> She then looked at Orchid. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Please cover me, I'm afraid I'll be making a bit of a target of myself in the process.”</b></span> She'd really need to rely on the Orc to pull through for this one.<br>
<br>
She took a few steps forwards, then shouted loud enough for Orcus, the Duke and pretty much everyone else to hear. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Duke Vegron! Be careful! The cultists already learned that you're planning to betray them and started killing the knights that were working on bringing down the arena!!! They might even be ready to use the Champion himself against you! Some knights were even foolish enough to carry their orders around, which were likely read by them!”</b></span> She held up the blood-stained note. It wasn't like anyone could read it from that distance, but it at least added some dramatic effect. Truth be told, she still believed that this was truly the case, not being convinced that it was just the Champion going rampant that killed those knights, but instead being convinced that it was the cult steering him. Arthur might think the cult wasn't aware, which if it was true, they'd certainly be aware now. <br>
<br>
In fact, she was so convinced of that theory, that she made it into an [Ultimate Argument] to convince not only Duke Vegron, but even the cultists themselves, that they clearly knew this already. Alright, convincing the cultists might be a bit much, but she was putting some effort and weight behind her words at the very least. If she was [Lucky] (usage 1/2) enough, this would get the cult to fight the Knights like Arthur wanted from her, without making it seem like she was going up against the Duke. If anything, she hoped this would look like she helped out the Duke here.<br>

<span style="font-size: 18px"><span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)">He felt as if his blood was boiling so hot it was going to kill him; his legs preparing to  to maneuver through the head cultist. His words of warning not reaching his thick skull. The first step forward being interrupted by a loud and thunderous shout. Wirejaw had no clue who this was, but he figured it was someone of import based on the reactions around him and the fact that his armor didn't have a single ding on it. The adrenaline started to fade, and the wounds Aurgnog had given him started to ache; he couldn't let his guard down in front of Orcus. He did not underestimate him after overcoming a warrior like Lyrka. His body facing Orcus with raised hands while his head followed The immaculate knight. <br>
<br>
<i>survived huh?</i> He didn't sugarcoat their situation and figured he was a main player based off the authority he accrued. He didn't sound like that armor was for show, and he only worried he was about to tag in with The Champion. Wirejaw couldn't believe that he was offering them amnesty, and just...letting them leave. He didn't know if he could trust this guy, but the real question was could he survive objecting? The mention of Lykra made his squeeze his fist. Why did they want her dead so badly? His attention returning to the crew as Lunes pointed toward where new figures entered the field, along with arthur. What was it about seeing him for the first time that made him grin? he didn't rightfully know, and he didn't care. Something told him that this was indeed the right path to be on. There was a moment of silence before the child next to Arthur started to shout at the big knight. Duke Vengron. Now that was a hell of a name. Duke was a weird first name, but he wouldn't judge. <br>
<br>
He didn't know what the hell they were planning, but he knew Lyrka was doing well. She was bleedin bad and no amount of pride was curbin it. He couldn't just sit there and do nothing. <br>
<br>
"<b>Duke, ahm sorry but ah can't do that. She don deserve what ya'll are doin ta her. You an yer robe wearing vulture over there. Ah may die, but it's better than walking away an dyin anyhow</b>" He hollered, looking back at Lunes and Vido "<b>Ah guess ahm selfish, my apologies; Ah understand if ya kick me out fer staying, but ah just can't leave her like that...or any of em' fer that matter. Thanks fer all you've done fer me</b>" He said, cracking his neck, readying himself for anything as he drew his line in the sand.<br>
<br>
<i>He would protect those whom were even strangers, so long as it was right.</i> </span></span><br>

Orchid nearly struck down Lykra when she came crashing past them. Force of habit, but fortunately Orchid simply kept her weapon at the ready instead. But the red warrior was looking good. It was chaos right now but Orchid decided to focus on doing what she could right here, right now, and approached the second-in-command. While Orchid wasn't personally familiar with Lykra, she knew her simply because the Red Guard were a common sight around the arena. And while Orchid has no idea where Lykra stood in this mess, Orchid went to her side, kneeling down and handing the woman a ball of herbs wrapped in rice. <span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">"Here, eat this. This will help slow the bleeding and accelerate your healing, but it won't save your life if you fight." </span>Just as Orchid handed the snack to Lykra, new guest arrived. Cultists, Orchid guessed via their outfit. One of them seemed to be the leader of sort and accused Lykra of betraying her people. Orchid had a hard time believing that considering the circumstances, but then again crazier things have happened.<br>
<br>
And as if this band of psychos weren't enough, soon Ryken Knights arrived. And leading them was the duke... Some guy Orchid doesn't know, but he did have an impressive axe. While Orchid was pretty certain Auregnog was going to churn through these cultists soon enough, if the Ryken Knights joined in even the champion might get overwhelmed by both sheer numbers and skill. Orchid stepped towards Victorique, holding her poleaxe at the ready to defend her ward. The duke was offering everyone a chance to get out of here and Orchid was seriously considering it, since they had all the proof they needed to finish this job and get out alive. However before the crew could make a decision on escaping, Arthur chimed in to ask VIctorique to convince the cultist into fighting the knights. Victorique seemed equally confused, but Orchid was too focused on keeping an eye on these new belligerents to try and chime in. However Victorique did reason out that it seems like Arthur's old gang, who Orchid assumed are the collection of strangers surrounded by cultists, are here. So by redirecting the cult's attention onto the knights, perhaps Arthur's friends could be saved.<span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)"> "Seems reasonable enough. If nothing else, be easier dealing with the knights and cultist if they were after each other and not us." </span>Orchid says quietly.<br>
<br>
Victorique had a plan, but it involved putting the spotlight on her. Orchid knew this was going to put her ward in danger, so Orchid made sure to be by her side when she called out to the duke. Orchid's focus was keeping Victorique safe right now: anyone who'd try to charge at her would get cut down by Orchid. If anyone threw any spells or missiles at her, Orchid would be there to intercept the shot with her own body, if needed. And most of all Orchid made sure that her presence was known, so that anyone who had any funny ideas of going after the halfling would understand that meant incuring Orchid's wrath, and despite her injuries she was still ready and willing to murder everyone in this room if it means finishing the job.<br>

The two climbed up the rope, but instead of relief, they were instead met with a more serious situation. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"God fucking damn it..."</span> Sensing that the situation was as tense as a taut string, Dayle left the planning to the rest, while scanned the area and making sure that things are not escaping his attention. One aspect that surprised him was seeing Lykra in a terrible condition, and the addition of a new group of people. He could see the cult, the champion himself, the knights, and the Duke making an ultimatum.<br>
<br>
At this point, Dayle's guts was telling him to take the chance. The benefits of fleeing outweighs the benefits of staying. If there's anything he had learned from being a thug for so long, that would be the futility of staying in a fight you cannot win. But, there was one thing that Dayle fully considered. Sweeping his gaze at the group, he saw a sliver of chance. A chance of putting the two aggressor groups into war, and the chance to earn prestige. If he was going to have his reputation gain weight, then this was one chance he had to turn the gaze of the Underbelly towards himself. An ambition that could most likely destroy everything he worked for, or worse, his life. But if he succeeds, then he's no longer just a bastard. He will be <i><b>the</b></i> bastard and even the higher ups won't take light of him anymore. However, he was a leader, and so his eyes turned over to Roy.<br>
<br>
The man turned his head to Dayle, and his gaze was met with Dayle's clear eyes. He already knew what his boss decided, and it was an aspect why he followed him in the first place. He was not ignorant to the plight of his superior, and although he wears the colors of the Red Star, his loyalty to the syndicate was not as great as his loyalty to Dayle. If his boss wants it, then... <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">"As you will it, sir Dayle."</span><br>
<br>
Dayle grinned and turned to the rest of the group, and his gaze set upon the halfling shouting at the duke in the distance. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Shorty, I hope whatever you're doing is gonna be worth it."</span> He mumbled as he cracked his neck. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">" 'cause I'd like to witness a miracle today."</span> Roy nodded and subtly held his claymore, ready to fight once again.<br>

The entire arena fell silent as Victorique spoke, even after her allegations there was a deafening silence as her voice echoed through the corpse filled arena, its halls, its corridors. The lifeless bodies listening to her words that came of no action. The Champion stopped his strange twitching episodes, despite a glowing coming from his chest and a weird sparking coming from his body. Vengron stared down Victorique, his piercing icy blue eyes dwarfed the halfling. His militia behind him quiet as they looked at one another quietly then back. Orcus' face was hidden from view of Victorique thanks to her hood, Wirejaw would see a stoic look upon his face, unknown of his intentions or thought process. It felt like they were stuck in time, in a graveyard of tongueless corpses that could not speak. Would not speak. It was until there came a chuckle from the cultist leader, Orcus who turned around to face the Duke, who stood over all of them, walking away from Wirejaw and the Divees Crew to the steps that lead up to Aruegnog and Orcus' cultists, passing them to Vengron and his Ryken Knights. Vengron stared down at the depraved individual before him. Orcus then quieted down as he sighed deeply. " <b><span style="color: rgb(85, 57, 130)">You were careless in your potential victory. Or more like your living puppets were incompetent.</span></b> " Orcus held his knife in his hand, looking at the slick blade and the oil that secreted from the dangerous weapon. "<b><span style="color: rgb(85, 57, 130)"> So be it. The True Rulers' time is now.</span></b> " Orcus said in a grim voice. " <b><span style="color: rgb(85, 57, 130)">The illusion is over. </span></b>" Orcus growled. "<b><span style="color: rgb(85, 57, 130)"> The Royal Dead will take back their lands that was reaped from them unfairly. </span></b>" Orcus then took the knife he held and stabbed it into his own neck, not moving from its impact as he then began to push it through his neck with a sickening slash of flesh and blood hitting the ground, his own blood poured out, black as night. Pulling the knife out slowly from its place, a streak of blue light followed after it, the blade disappearing into nothingness as the blade was replaced with a necrotic blue light. Unfortunately, there being no mages, no one would know this, but Arthur's undead arm would begin to feel a strange cramping feel as this feeling in the unfeeling arm faded away fast. The robes, skin, flesh and blood then blew off the corpse of Orcus in a flash of blue power that would be felt in everyone within the pits of their stomachs, what they were witnessing was something that has been in the works for close to a millennium, his skeleton had armor around the exterior with a glowing eye on the chest, a helmet appearing on his skull as his hand that had the dagger in it was now holding some sort of blue sword made of light or something else that couldn't be explained. His eyes glowed a piercing blue as a deep cackle came from within. Blue light flowed outward from his body, in a show of power and the signature Blue Viscera the cult seemed to have.<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b>Orcus Revealed</b><br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1661041485874-png.1014363/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/951/951493-a18f5b5ba432fac35977902b4e524ee0.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1661041485874.png" title="1661041485874.png" width="100" height="140" loading="lazy"></a><br>​</div>As the true Orcus had revealed himself and his intentions, the hooded cultists that surrounded The Champion, they ripped their cloaks off and revealed their contorted and human bodies, but the skin they wore began to decay, "<span style="color: rgb(85, 57, 130)"> <b>Show your glory to these heathens.</b> </span>" Orcus' roar rang through the arena as the rapid decaying of these cultists were underway, within a moment their bodies were turned fully, parts of their bodies decayed that revealed these grafted tools place through their bodies, these mindless husks had showed that this is the result of being converted into this dogma. A mix of occult doings and body horror. Anything to make a living being into an obedient slave. If these husks still had any minds within them, they were most likely in a brain-dead state, the only way to save them would be to show them mercy. " <b><span style="color: rgb(85, 57, 130)">The glory of the Occult, behold.</span></b> " Orcus raised an undead skeletal hand at the perfect being. Auregnog stared at these broken husks, quickly jumping up into the air and landing about thirty feet away to stay away from what was happening.<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1661041421741-png.1014361/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/951/951491-9d658f85f9ff3b751a032c77151df9d7.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1661041421741.png" title="1661041421741.png" width="100" height="142" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
Orcus turned around to face the group in the arena, staring down at them. Placing his blade into the ground as he gave a raspy and low cackle, " <b><span style="color: rgb(85, 57, 130)">Behold your fate. You will become the instrument of Perfection. You will be the ascension of the Bulvarks again. </span></b>" Orcus raised his free hand. " <b><span style="color: rgb(85, 57, 130)">Come, revel in the soon-to-be return of the True Rulers, become their evangelists.</span></b> " His eyes lit up as he cackled lowly, the undead figures turned to face Vengron and his army. The Divees crew were ready to fight, despite the unknown insanity that was before them. From the arena, from the corridors and hallways, more undead, with glowing blue eyes came to the entrances of each exit and escape, corpses ready to serve the will of Orcus. The fate of the Underbelly would be held here in the Bloody Defiance. Choices will be made. The outcome of many people would be decided this day.<br>

Thank you all for joining in this RP! I hope you all have enjoyed the thread as much as I have! I will be making part 3 very soon to conclude what happens here in this degenerate city that is the Underbelly.</div>

Thank you all for joining Demise part 2, I very much appreciate it! Although parts on myself I feel like I could have improved in many areas within the rp, and with our cast of characters, you guys worked with what you were given in which I am sorry for being an underwhelming narrator in certain parts. That being said, the characters are phenomenal, being put in this dark and very grim situation they are doing the very best they can. So, I do hope you all are enjoying the story I have presented before you. With that, thank you all for joining part 2 and hopefully I will see you all in the final rp for Demise, now onto the rewards!<br>
