Celand Amolinei had arrived to Sundren understanding the area to still be in turmoil. Many events had passed that was sure to give opportunity, turmoil births many things, nothing more then power and reputation. He knew, Mask, would surely guide him to find riches along with the reputation he wished to obtain. He look around the streets of Sundren as it were with a slight smile on his face. Arriving with nothing more then the clothes on his back and a small pouch of coin, after all, to hide in plain sight is almost always the best option. He needed allies and knowing the issues in the area the guard could use assistance. He spoke with the Centurion and found there to be a problem with thugs. Sure, perhaps they could be allies, but greatness would not be born from the lowly slums so he put no heart in the idea of thugs. Sundrens military would be a good face to assist, "To be known as a helper," he thought. He went to the local shops for supplies - bow, quiver, armor - nothing to fancy. To draw attention wasn't the game, just a little credibility to his name was all he wished.
Celand, after a little investigating and... diplomacy... arrived to the aquaducts where he sneered, his bow drawn to enter, "What kind of allies could possibly come from the sewers of rat shit. They don't deserve to live," he thought to himself. A mans voice struck him suddenly "Why are you walking about with your bow drawn?" Celand turned, instantaneously faking a smile, to an armored man with sword on side and shield on his weak arm. "These streets are deadly this time of night, here in the slums, it's best to be ready I only thought." The man raised a brow as if judging Celand. He saw immediately through the charade and saw the coldness deep in his eyes. "I am, Maxwell. Perhaps you could use assistance?" Celand faked a smile happily towards the man though, Maxwell, was still suspicious. "I have nothing to offer for helping me, but experience in journey," said Celand to the armored Maxwell. Maxwell looked to the aquaducts and then to Celand. "We'll see what happens." Celand didn't expect company but wouldn't turn down a meatshield.
The job was quick as the two dispatched of the pathetic whelps that littered the aquaducts, just that, thugs. They eliminated the primary problem, some woman. Celand made no note of her name, she was nobody important, not if she died so easily. Maxwell and Celand spoke a little in the sewers, moreso after the elimination. Maxwell was a good man and as such a perfect opportunity to gain ground towards his future goals.
Returning to the Centurion, gold and thanks were given, Celand now known as an helpful elf to the good of the city.
Perfect...
