Kings and Killers: A Classical Fantasy Adventure (Chapter 1)

Dalious spoke to the captain and crew, he felt comfortable amongst them. They knew what they were doing, and it showed. He was able to fully relax.

He spent a lot of time perfecting his skills with a blade, as well as time spent meditating, all along the journey. He would teach Arthur a few trix with the sword and the boy would teach him how to read.

Dalious would be curious when he saw Arthur studying and reading, so he approached.

"What have ye learned this day lad?? Anything new??"

He had hoped the boy learned something about his friends whereabouts. If not, it would just be another day.

After the farewells were made, those continuing on followed Ashe. It was a long journey ahead and the last thing the pirate wanted to do was any thinking.

"Well, you're the smart ones. Open the book and try to figure something out. I'll watch our backs, never know when some naked bald assassin chicks are gonna pop out and try to murder us again."

Dalious let Fyr fume. They were disoriented, the camel was gone, and the book wasn't responding. None of these things really mattered.

"Mates, need I remind us that not even a week ago we were slaves meant for death or worse? We are free now, free of our bonds. Free to go about as we would choose. Sure, we can go all our separate ways. Lapis and squire boy can continue on, minus a camel but they have plenty to sell to get to wherever they want. Fyr, you're free to go home or whatever you want as well. Ashe...you need not wear a mask anymore. And I can go back to hustling and gambling anywhere I choose. We are free now!

However, Cicero and Gwyn are trapped. I don't know about you lot, but they were my friends. I'll be damned if I leave them to rot in a demon dimension or wherever the hell they went. I will find them and save them, with or without you all. I have nothing else...so, excuse me while I go and cause some shit."

Dalious stormed off, but quickly came back. "Except I don't have a clue where to begin."

"So those guards were worthless," Dalious said as he propped himself up before the group, sitting comfortably on the nearest bench. "Yea Fyr lost his axe, Lapis lost her camel, but we're alive. We are .......in our primes. Especially me."

"Do we even know what the fuk is going on!? Arthur?? Ashe!? The book??".

Dalious opens the book where they are. "Gwen! Can u answer our questions? Where r u in the world? The real you? Where's Cicero?? How much sauce goes into a pantorallomi??"

It felt like slow motion to Dalious, the leader being alone and running for an escape. It was an easy target to say the least. He quickly and with ease loaded another bolt into his crossbow and aimed with a smirk.

"I got him,"he calmly said, locking eyes with Lapis in the process. She seemed panicked, so he gave her a wink. "Watch this, love."

He fired the crossbow and missed entirely, not even coming close. The bolt hit the ceiling.

"...shit."

"Impressive," Dalious said as Lapis killed one of the naked people. He watched her go back into hiding, seeing from her facial expression that the act was hard on her. Killing was never easy, even when your life depended on it. The pirate was already struggling with the nineteen or so people he had killed in his life, but this was not the time to think on such matters.

He turned to see Arthur kill the assassin that he had previously been fighting, the boy seemed to take it much better than Lapis seemed to. "Hey, that one counts as mine!"

The fighting looked to be nearing a close, in their favor. Just the assassin leader and one other assassin left. Dalious knew his team could handle the leader so he cut off the other assassin and held his cutlass up to him.

"You lot are defeated, stand down and we'll let you live,"he told him, but the attacker lunged forward anyway. Dalious easily deflected his strike, then knocked the assassin's blade away. Dalious hit the assassin with the hilt of his sword, bringing the man to his knees. The pirate sheathed his weapon, only to pull out his crossbow and aim it at the defeated man's face.

1d20+1=20

As he loaded the weapon with a bolt, more for a show of dominance than anything, he spoke, "It's over mate, look around. We have you completely defeated!". Dalious gestured toward the room. Immediately they watched Ashe go toward the leader, only to trip on a corpse and bash her head on the floor. "...she uhm...she meant to do that. A scare tactic, of course."

Dalious cleared his throat, then slapped the assassin with his free hand. "Nevermind that! You killed all these innocent people, and for what? Why!? Who are you, more importantly who sent you after us!! Who in the hells.....". Dalious, in his anger, accidentally squeezed the trigger of his crossbow and fired the bolt direct into the assassin's face. The man flopped over dead. "Oh, shite!! Oops."

Dalious swung and missed his opponent.

1d20+1=6

He backed up to recollect his footing stance, however he walked right into Lapis and tripped himself over her and fell to the floor, then quickly picked himself back up to his feet.

"Nine hells woman!" Dalious shouted, recollecting himself. "Stay back". His last words weren't to scold but more because there was no time to talk and he wanted her safe.

He went on guard against his attacker.
