Balothiss carried the man up the stairs with no problems the man complied very well although at times very stubborn, Balothiss had to intimidate the plutocrat into submission.

After a while Balothiss had found both the keys in the plutocrats bedroom where it was in a locked box which he broke open and the plutocrat seemed very upset about that saying repeatedly to himself that it was a family relic and grovelling to himself about moving to the area with his family.

[i]Time passes...[/i]

Balothiss was becoming aggravated and annoyed, because the plutocrat wouldn't shut up about his life and how badly he was being treated shouting about his rights as a citizen, Balothiss threatened the man and that shut him up but that never worked for long.

Balothiss came to a large oak door which the plutocrat pridefully explained was a storage room for his treasures, slipping one of the keys into the lock he opened the large oak doors and found himself looking at a room lavishly furnished and smelt of exquisite spices and perfumes, two large iron trunks made of silver casting and fine oak wood probably holding gold and other treasure, he put the man on a lovely couch nearby and walked over to the trunks.

His eyes glazed over when he pried open the trunk revealing the treasures inside, filled to the brim with gold coins and the odd ancient coin, diamonds and other gems, and priceless jewellery the only reason Balothiss was stirred from his stupor was that he sensed the Dungeon Keeper nearby and then a large tremor and heard many screams outside.

He ran to the window a large balcony revealing the courtyard in disaster as it had been before but then looking towards the village Balothiss spotted a cloaked figure standing by Torrens and another, he spotted the wraith Cold Stare nearby.

Balothiss heard his wrathful and powerful voice and he began to shake for fear of the mistakes he made in battle, he looked back to find the plutocrat out of his bindings which lay on the floor and the man holding an silvered longsword decorated with some jewels and the hilt plated with shiny metals, the man had a wild look in his eyes and he swung at Balothiss who reluctantly was out of range.

The plutocrat obviously didn't plan on letting him go with the treasures and certainly would not stand to be taken prisoner.

Balothiss pulled his greatsword from its sheath and he ran at the decrepit fool who was attempting to kill him, he elbowed the man sending him spewing towards a shelf of old books and trophies he crashed into it sending the contents flying everywhere thankfully not breaking anything but the shelf tipped over onto the man who groaned in pain probably the shelf had broken some of the plutocrats bones.

Easily lifting the shelf and moving it off the man Balothiss looked down at the once wealthy man now broken and tangled his legs were twisted and mangled and he probably had fractured something in his waist or back area.

"Thought you could get the better of me eh!"

The man spat at Balothiss, who picked the man up and carried him over to the balcony high above the courtyard.

[color=ed1c24]"I don't need to think of those things,"[/color]

Balothiss said with a small grin and he held the man over the edge of the balcony the mans eyes became large and full of tears, and Balothiss continued speaking.

[color=ed1c24]"I don't need to think of them because I already knew I got better of you!"[/color]

Balothiss hesitated for only a moment contemplating whether this was the right decision and he decided to put the man to put the man down on the floor of the balcony the man looking confused shouted at Balothiss who turned around and began walking back inside.

"Come back coward,"

The man tried to pull himself with his arms but moved nowhere, Balothiss turned to the man and his eyes revealed cruel intent the plutocrat stopped shouting and became quiet, and Balothiss spoke before he went back inside to start collecting the treasures.

[color=ed1c24]"I don't need to kill you for it is crueler to let you live without the ability to walk!"[/color]

And Balothiss walked into the room hearing the man shouting after him pleading that Balothiss kill should kill him and Balothiss only ignored the man, for he planned on walking back outside and carrying the man out with him to the others or leaving him to recount these tales to his grandchildren Balothiss contemplated these things as he began to go grab things to hold treasure, he also was worried whether the Master would punish Balothiss for the mistakes that he had made.
