There's an old run down shack somewhere in the woods. *Moss is growing all over it, and it looks like it's about to fall over on you any second now. *The door creaks ominously as it swings open of its own accord, a heavy smell of must wafting out through the open door. *The shack as a whole looks pretty nondescript. *Until you step inside.

Then it looks nothing like a Mafia headquarters, which makes sense, because it definitely isn't. *It's a fairly large room, much larger than what you saw on the outside. *There must be some magic at work. *Tables, chairs, and stools are scattered around, and there's a bar at one end. *Maybe the place used to be a tavern. *There are also some large vaguely ominous sacks in one corner, and several doors on each wall. *There's a large suspiciously unmarked crate in the corner with a note tacked on that says

The good news is that the musty smell is gone at least. *Whew. *You can breathe through your nose now.

Welcome to The Shack™®.

P.S. *This is most definitely not related to the Mafia in any way, shape, form, smell, duck, or lightsaber.

Mafia Manifesto

Don't talk about Fight Club the Mafia, because it doesn't exist.
Do what you’re told by The Don or your superiors.
Always look out for ways to make money for the Mafia.
Do not hide or hold back money from the Mafia.
Respect your elders in the Mafia, and the organization in general.
Protect your fellow members.
Never let a debt go unpaid.
Never be late paying your debts.
Don’t get caught.
If you do get caught, keep your mouth shut.
<hr>

Rules

Note: a 'hit' is when one Mafia member posts to state that they are attacking someone. *Usually they will be coordinated to attack one person at the same time for the best effect. *

When a chain-hit is interrupted by another person not making a hit (and not the victim), it is over. *See below for results. *
<hr>

Hit Rules

1 hit before interruption: victim survives, attacker sent to jail *
2 hits: victim survives if they are healed within half an hour, both attackers jailed *
3 hits: victim dies, 2 attackers jailed *
4 hits: victim dies, 1 attacker jailed, chosen by police or victim *
5 hits: victim dies, 1 attacker jailed, chosen by Mafia *
6 hits: victim dies
<hr>

Additional Rules
In order for someone to be hit by the Mafia, they must have agreed to it beforehand. *However, to keep the surprise and sting in the Mafia, it'll work like this. *

People that are willing to have their characters possibly killed by the Mafia will post in a 'Hit List' (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=17771) thread, and only people who have given permission may be attacked.

Sneak approaches the shack and opens up the door, looking in and grinning. &quot;Well, well, well. This certainly isn't what I hoped for. It simply won't do.&quot; *cue camera closeup*

&quot;Better not go set up a 'Now Hiring' sign.&quot;

((yay! The non-existant mafia is not back!))

BelkarsDagger
2006-09-27, 09:07 PM
((But shouldnt it be &quot;Better not set up a 'Definitely Not Hiring&quot; sign'?))

Sneak
2006-09-27, 09:10 PM
(( But that wouldn't be no double negative. We don't like no double negatives. ))

BelkarsDagger
2006-09-27, 09:12 PM
((Oh yeah, that's definitely not right because double negatives dont mean a postive.))

((I dont think I'm getting the hang of this non-existent mafia speak.))

((but that's the non-beauty of the non-existant mafia speak, it doesn't mess with everyones heads

I may not have taken that a little bit far....))

Sneak

I will certainly never be coming here.

&quot;Glad not to hear it, my bad sir. We'd hate to have you.&quot; He smiles.

Psicrystal

I completely disagree. 8)

Sneak

&quot;Glad we aren't settled, then. Feel free not to come here anytime you want, or I may just have to give you a 'poodle.'&quot;

(( I didn't say that initially. ))

Sneak
2006-09-27, 09:30 PM
(( I don't regret doing this. No siree. ))

Sneak tips his hat to Iames and disappears in a puff of smoke.

Appolo
2006-09-27, 09:41 PM
hello. my name is not asgard. not. i am not here to offer my services to the organisation not known as the mafia. i do NOT understand the way you speak, and i am most certantly not going to help you in whatever way you may or may not request. do not reply.

CabbageTheif
2006-09-27, 09:56 PM
a robed and cloaked figure sneaks in the open, and walks casually in the shadows. when it comes up to the shack, it takes a step inside.

hello, don sneak. i have a little game to play with you. it starts when partners of an old buisness get back together again and cause some mischief. 2what say you?

Sneak
2006-09-27, 10:02 PM
Sneak appears in front of CT. &quot;Well, I definitely wouldn't call it a grand idea. That's not for sure.&quot;

((As new Chief of Police, I have to say that the reformaiton of the Mafia doesn't worry me in the slightest and that I most definitely will not need a copy of the 'Hitman' rules. No Thanks, Sneak))

Sneak
2006-09-28, 07:29 AM
(( [not mafia speak] So you are worried by it? Why? Unless you weren't speaking in Mafiaspeak...it gets confusing after a while. ))

Murky_Pool
2006-09-28, 07:31 AM
((Yeah that was mafia speak. I think that's going to cause you more problems than it entertains. Are you going to post the hit rules o the first page when they're solidified? I wasn't reading Town when you did the first mafia))

Sneak
2006-09-28, 07:32 AM
((( Yes, I will post the rules on the first page. Trust me, the rules aren't that complicated, and they're more in favor of the police side than the Mafia. ))

Cathrindir
2006-09-28, 08:19 PM
A menacing, dark shadow creeps into the shack. He's seven or eight feet tall, and carrying a large halberd at his side, with a collection of daggers fitted into his belt. His breath is a hiss, and he walks sternly, proudly, and with strength. He looks around the small shack and removes his cowl, revealing the brutish, scarred face of a half-orc. His eyes glint, and he speaks, but not menacingly at all. It's a squeaky, nasal, high-pitched, stuttering voice.
&quot;Excuse me, is th-th-this the M-m-m-mafia h-headquarters?&quot;

Sneak
2006-09-28, 08:20 PM
The second Sneak looks up from the newspaper he was reading. &quot;No, it isn't. Perhaps someone gave you the wrong directions?&quot;

Cathrindir
2006-09-28, 08:23 PM
&quot;P-p-perhaps...b-but I thought I c-c-clearly saw that this was the Mafia h-h-headquart-&quot; He stops in mid-stutter. &quot;A-a-are you u-using that b-backwards M-m-mafia speak th-th-thing?&quot;

Daedrous Avari
2006-09-28, 08:25 PM
Daedrous walks by the studdering man. &quot;This is definitely not the non-existant Mafia Headquarters, right?&quot;

Sneak
2006-09-28, 08:26 PM
&quot;Of course not, my good man. That would be silly.&quot; He slaps the half-orc on the back and looks at Daedrous. &quot;Right. That would not be correct, sir.&quot;

Daedrous Avari
2006-09-28, 08:27 PM
&quot;You are not thanked.&quot; He walks over to a tree and falls asleep right there.

Sneak
2006-09-28, 08:28 PM
&quot;Hmph. Could've at least shown some gratitude. I mean, he didn't even thank me!&quot;

Cathrindir
2006-09-28, 08:30 PM
The Half-Orc, hearing the strange conversation between Sneak and Daedrous, thinks for a second, then rephrases his question.
&quot;This is n-not the Mafia Headquarters w-w-which d-d-does not e-exist, i-i-incorrect?&quot;

Sneak
2006-09-28, 08:32 PM
&quot;Don't use no double negatives, boy, we don't not like 'em. Yes, this wouldn't be Mafia room service. How may I help you?&quot;

Cathrindir
2006-09-28, 08:34 PM
&quot;I w-w-wasn't w-wondering i-if y-you wouldn't want to not hire m-m-me as p-part of the N-n-non-e-existant m-mafia?&quot;

Sneak
2006-09-28, 08:36 PM
&quot;Can you handle only using one negative at a time, man? It's not getting a bit annoying.&quot; He rolls his eyes. &quot;No, you can't join the Mafia. It doesn't exist, after all.&quot;

Cathrindir
2006-09-28, 08:40 PM
The Half-Orc, thouroughly confused, and not understanding whether he should use double negatives or not, and if the mafia does exist, suddenly throws his arms up and yells without the stuttering, &quot;Goddammit!&quot; He slams his hands on the desk. &quot;Look, does this shocking Mafia shocking exist or not?&quot;

Sneak
2006-09-28, 08:43 PM
The second Sneak doesn't bat an eye. &quot;No.&quot;

Cathrindir
2006-09-28, 08:45 PM
The Half-Orc suddenly becomes more timid. &quot;W-w-well, then, I s-s-suppose you w-wouldn't n-need a h-hit m-man for it?&quot;

Sneak
2006-09-28, 08:47 PM
&quot;No, it wouldn't. Would you like me to pay for a cab? Someone must've given you the wrong address.&quot;

Cathrindir
2006-09-28, 08:49 PM
The Half-Orc shakes his head. &quot;N-n-no, I th-think I'll m-m-manage...&quot; He walks back outside.
((Good lord, that was confusing.))

Sneak
2006-09-28, 08:55 PM
(( I apologize, but we certainly cannot accept members who lose their temper and may admit to the Mafia's existence. Sorry. ;) ))

Destro_Yersul
2006-09-28, 08:56 PM
((What Mafia?))

Cathrindir
2006-09-28, 08:58 PM
((The one that doesn't exist.))

Appolo
2006-09-29, 07:40 AM

now, time not to talk about my offer. just forget that i am very usefull, and do not have any minions...ayup, no minions whatsoever. do not respond.

2006-09-29, 07:48 PM
A Kobold with a headband walks by. Hey. I heard you were not hiring and I'm not here to apply. I'm not a kickass Kobold monk who join and I'm certantly not going to join anything

Trog
2006-09-29, 08:49 PM
((Huzzah! I am certainly not glad to see the Non-Existant Mafia back up and running, Sneak! ;D ))

Sneak
2006-09-29, 09:27 PM
The second Sneak throws screams at the top of his lungs. &quot;I'm sick of this! I don't want to be a criminal!&quot; He then disappears.

The Sneakbot shuffles into the shack, wearing a dark bowler hat and a trenchcoat. &quot;I am the new supreme executive officers of this organization which may or may not exist. Everyone is not hired. Bombing doesn't commence in five...four...three...&quot;

Raistlin1040
2006-09-29, 09:47 PM
The kobold punches the sneakbot and leaves.

Sneak
2006-09-29, 09:58 PM
The Sneakbot is unfazed. &quot;Visuals cache accessed, data retrieved and set target. A kobold has made an enemy this day.&quot;

The Sneakbot hangs up another sign that reads &quot;Now Not Recruiting!&quot; before walking out.

InaVegt
2006-09-30, 01:31 PM
Someone

A slightly see through version of Gezina walks in, she smiles and walks in.

As you are not recruiting I will not apply for a job

Rose
2006-09-30, 01:45 PM
The Sneakbot hurries back in and looks over Gezina. &quot;Visual feedback recorded and stored. Affirmative, we are not recruiting. Please do not sign here.&quot; It shoves a piece of paper in Someone's face.

InaVegt
2006-09-30, 01:49 PM
Someone

The piece of paper flies right through the incorporeal creature but gets directed to fly in front of her by some force, the incprporeal creature signs it with 'Herusi ramenaro'

I have not signed this, I would not appreceate it if you showed me around

Rose
2006-09-30, 04:14 PM
&quot;I will use the fleshy pink term 'excellent' to describe this situation. Gratitude for signing the form to hand your soul into my possession. And definitely not to join any type of organization. Let me show you the premises.&quot; It begins showing Someone around.

InaVegt
2006-09-30, 04:30 PM
Herusi ramenaro

Herusi looks around before getting pulled away by some force.

I definately do not have to go, I'm definately not sorry

Rose
2006-09-30, 04:54 PM
&quot;That is alright. Since I am now in possession of your soul, it will not be a coding error.&quot; It nods and walks away.

Renrik
2006-10-01, 10:10 PM
I definaterly don;t want to join up as a semi-independant agent. I deffinately will not killl anyone you want me to for low prices, and never rat you out for any reason whatsoever. And I am definately not the single most experienced man for the job. The job should certainly be a hit, and not just a series of assassinations on non-gufis you need silenced or taken care of. But I definately can't do hits, too.

Rose
2006-10-01, 10:20 PM
The Sneakbot approaches. &quot;You are not hired then. However, expect a lot of stuff to happen until more people join.&quot; It tips its hat to Renrik.

Flabbicus
2006-10-01, 10:40 PM
Rilik enters, looking a lot more roguish and suspicious than normal.

I'm not looking for some action, I don't want to help your cause.

He departs.

Rose
2006-10-01, 11:22 PM
&quot;Well, well, well. I seem to be picking up some pink fleshy sayings...&quot;

It goes into an inner monologue.

Tessia
2006-10-01, 11:57 PM
Tessia breezes into the door of the shack. Ugh...not even a real person to greet people?

&quot;Hello. I saw that you were not hiring and thought I would make it clear that I would not be interested in being hired.&quot;

She rolls her eyes. I hate mafia speak.

Psicrystal
2006-10-02, 12:08 AM
Iames the Dark appears.
Hello, there. I'm in charge here, and I can speak for the Don. I don't think I can say that you will not be hired.
((Also, welcome to the boards.))

Iames the Dark teleports out.

Iames the Dark appears in the Shack and waits. We'll see... I'll show us all...

((By popular request, I will no longer be using yellow text for Iames the Dark.))

Lord Iames Osari
2006-10-04, 12:30 PM
Iames the Light appears in the Shack. Hah! We knew we'd find us here! We know us too well!

Psicrystal

We're fools, both of us. We'll never find us. Iames the Dark teleports away.

'Drat , did i miss him ?'

Lord Iames Osari
2006-10-04, 12:35 PM
Yes. I might be able to trace me... No, damnation. I've teleported again. He looks at Hydro. We'll just have to find me another time. Let's go back to the Tavern. Iames teleports out.

ChaotikLawfull
2006-10-04, 12:53 PM
Some time later, a black-and-orange robed, somewhat scruffy man enters.

&quot;Bad day. I would not like to find well-paying employment with the nonexisting mafia which definitely is not based from here. I am not a powerful and morally challenged wizard and do not have any prior experience with the things not working for a nonexistant mafia organization may entail.&quot; , Chaotik says, adjusting to the mafia-speak quite easily.

Psicrystal
2006-10-04, 01:07 PM
Iames the dark appears. Awful. You're not hired.

ChaotikLawfull
2006-10-04, 01:10 PM
&quot;Terrible. I cannot be found in the dark tower on the cliff in case I need to be contacted about anything I don't have to do.&quot;

The wizard leaves. Evilly.

Psicrystal
2006-10-04, 02:58 PM
Iames reappears. Hmmmm... I'll have to lie low for a while, until the police have slowed down the search for me... But where to go until then?... He disappears again.

Cathrindir
2006-10-05, 09:06 AM
A Yuan-Ti slithers in, hissing every few meters. &quot;I would not be interesssted in a job at the mafia.&quot;

blackfox
2006-10-05, 09:11 PM
BlackFox wanders into the Shack. &quot;Hey, Sneakbot, I would definitely not be interested in a job here. Would you be equally uninterested in hiring me?&quot;

Cathrindir
2006-10-05, 09:13 PM
The Yuan-Ti, getting no answer, turns on its heel (if it had a heel) and leaves.

blackfox
2006-10-05, 09:24 PM
BlackFox waits for a little while, tapping her foot impatiently. Then she goes up to the SneakBot and tapes a note over its visual sensors saying:

Sneak/SneakBot/whoever the heck you aren't, I don't want to join the Mafia, so please don't get back to me about it as soon as you can.

--BlackFox
Then she leaves.

Sneak
2006-10-05, 10:06 PM
The Sneakbot boots up.

&quot;Visual responses hindered. Object in front of eye. This isn't eyetoy, people, if you wave something in front of my face into won't turn me off! Sheesh.&quot; It takes off the note and reads it. &quot;Yes....exxxxxcellent. Not hired, definitely.&quot;

Cathrindir
2006-10-06, 09:30 AM
The Yuan-Ti re-enters. &quot;As I was greeted warmly yesterday, I'd like to say I do not wish to join the Mafia.&quot;

Psicrystal
2006-10-06, 10:48 AM
Iames the Dark appears.
Hello, there. I'm in charge here, and I can speak for the Don. I don't think I can say that you will not be hired.

Cathrindir
2006-10-06, 11:01 AM
&quot;Terrible. I definitely don't want to know about the payment the mafia offers.&quot;

Rose
2006-10-06, 08:32 PM
&quot;Well, aside from inflicting pain and worry upon our more fleshy and pink brethren, payment includes free dental, the poodle of your choice, and any money that we make from our perfectly legitimate business operations.&quot;

Cathrindir
2006-10-06, 08:43 PM
&quot;Horrible. I hope I'm not hired.&quot;

Rose
2006-10-06, 08:49 PM
&quot;Definitely not.&quot; It bows mechanically (heh heh) and tips its hat to the yuan ti.

Cathrindir
2006-10-06, 08:51 PM
The Yuan-Ti (attempts) to give a short bow in return.&quot;Curses. I will not be in touch.&quot; He slithers out the door.

An innocent NPC runs up to the shack, and drops off a wooden case. There is not a musket or two blunderbuss inside the case for anyone near the shack to use as they see fit.

The NPC, unnerved by the atmosphere around the shack, runs off quickly.

blackfox
2006-10-12, 08:37 PM
BlackFox peeks around the corner of the shack, then walks up to the nonexistant crate of poodles. She selects a small, perfectly-safe-looking poodle, and disappears into the shadows.

Flabbicus
2006-11-01, 09:05 PM
Rilik camps out by the shack, awaiting hits on people which will be carried out sometime in the next few days.

*Tumbleweeds*

He waits.

Tessia
2006-11-03, 02:53 PM
Tessia wanders up, notices the crate of poodles, takes one, then heads over to Rilik.

"Hey there. What're we waiting for?"

Flabbicus
2006-11-03, 03:55 PM
Huh? Oh, I just got bored waiting for a job to find me so I decided to come here and look for one. But instead I'm still waiting for one to find me.

Tessia
2006-11-04, 01:43 PM
"Mind if I wait with you?" She lights a cigarette.

Flabbicus
2006-11-04, 01:58 PM
Uh sure.

He sits down in the chair with his face mostly obscured by the hat.

(( I will be leaving soon and won't be back until tomorrow ))

Sneak
2006-11-05, 09:41 AM

There's an old run down shack somewhere in the woods. *Moss is growing all over it, and it looks like it's about to fall over on you any second now. *The door creaks ominously as it swings open of its own accord, a heavy smell of must wafting out through the open door. *The shack as a whole looks pretty nondescript. *Until you step inside.

Then it looks nothing like a Mafia headquarters, which makes sense, because it definitely isn't. *It's a fairly large room, much larger than what you saw on the outside. *There must be some magic at work. *Tables, chairs, and stools are scattered around, and there's a bar at one end. *Maybe the place used to be a tavern. *There are also some large vaguely ominous sacks in one corner, and several doors on each wall. *There's a large suspiciously unmarked crate in the corner with a note tacked on that says
Only one rifle or musket per person, or take two poodles instead if you want.

The good news is that the musty smell is gone at least. *Whew. *You can breathe through your nose now.

Mafia Manifesto

Don't talk about Fight Club the Mafia, because it doesn't exist.
Do what you’re told by The Don or your superiors.
Always look out for ways to make money for the Mafia.
Do not hide or hold back money from the Mafia.
Respect your elders in the Mafia, and the organization in general.
Protect your fellow members.
Never let a debt go unpaid.
Never be late paying your debts.
Don’t get caught.
If you do get caught, keep your mouth shut.
[hr]

Rules

Note: a 'hit' is when one Mafia member posts to state that they are attacking someone. *Usually they will be coordinated to attack one person at the same time for the best effect. *

When a chain-hit is interrupted by another person not making a hit (and not the victim), it is over. *See below for results. *
[hr]

Hit Rules

1 hit before interruption: victim survives, attacker sent to jail *
2 hits: victim survives if they are healed within half an hour, both attackers jailed *
3 hits: victim dies, 2 attackers jailed *
4 hits: victim dies, 1 attacker jailed, chosen by police or victim *
5 hits: victim dies, 1 attacker jailed, chosen by Mafia *
6 hits: victim dies
[hr]

Additional Rules
In order for someone to be hit by the Mafia, they must have agreed to it beforehand. *However, to keep the surprise and sting in the Mafia, it'll work like this. *

People that are willing to have their characters possibly killed by the Mafia will post in a 'Hit List' (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=17771) thread, and only people who have given permission may be attacked.

Dwarfs have moved into the slums. A massive army of them, I don't know how we didn't find them before, but they are about to engage the goblins we have been tracking. It seems they mean real business. Traven's eye narrow as he processes what he's just been told. Interesting, this might be something to watch, tell Liam to detach from the group and watch the Dwarf movement, this could prove to be interesting. He turns back to Rilik.

I have already begun the process of reintroducing our specific brand of "services" towards the populous of the Town. Now if that rogue could only execute his orders, and his target. We will make a move when the opportunity presents itself.

As for the goblins, they have sent me a treaty of sorts, and I agreed to meet with them regarding the matter of mutual cooperation (for a time). But I am open to changes in the plan. I remember all too well when they rampaged through the streets unhindered. Tracking them or making an agreement to join with them temporarily seem like good ways to monitor their activities, and offer a way to deal with them if they get too much power for their own good. But I have received no such accord from the dwarves, and would be hesitant to hinder your activities regarding them.

Ra'Tiel felt very cold and terribly cliche for it. He'd survived the hail of gunfire, initially, but it wasn't looking so good, now. Or at least he didn't think it was. His vision had gone blurry and he didn't know if his eyes were covered in blood, but he couldn't see anymore at all, now. He couldn't move below the ribs. Something hit his spine. Blood was forcing itself into his airways. His lungs had taken something. Casting a spell of true seeing on himself, his eyes would work again for a few moments. From what they showed him, it was all he had left. He counted enough bulletholes that the Don had done easily what a squad of hitmen would've normally been troubled with. So much for usurping power, it seemed. That's one idea gone to hell. Without any more magic left to tap into, here went another. Pulling himself with his hands to sit up against a tree, his breathing degenated into a fit of coughing, blood pouring from his mouth. He thought one bullet hit his heart. It was a damn fine shot. Hell of a shot. They all had been. His eyes blurred again, and he felt the magic waning. Not that it mattered too much; it'd last longer than him.
Aercath dreamed that when they died, they'd just go back to their own scope of reality and live out the rest of their life within its laws. Maybe that's what'd happen. Maybe he'd be cold and lone, away from teh god of his homeworld, dying here with no afterlife to go to, just a lot of black. If he could move his arms, he'd get a few gold to bet on the outcome with whoever would listen.
His eyes went black, and he forced a smile through his cracked lips. I outlasted the damn spell, after all.
That was the last thing he ever thought. his head lolled ot the side, his blue skin faded rapidly to pallor, and his eyes closed as if he were sleeping.

He subconsciously pulls the sheet off of the goblin's gift and glances at it from the corner of his eye.

I might. Aerin may be able to keep me from gaining control of my true body, but all of me have mastered the art of creating avatars. To demonstrate his point, Iames appears, his eyes yellow.

Rilik turns and looks on in horror at the massacre before him.

He tried to kill me! Neither I nor he were in the right in this but I am not wholly responsible for his downfall. He brought it upon himself the second that he began harboring malign thoughts against us. These men's deaths however, are dead because of me, and they will receive their due rest.

Iames, incinerate the elf, and give the men a respite.

He turns from the scene and walks back inside the shack. He drops down into his seat and leans back in it. His eye moves to the crystal orb, and he reaches out for it, grasping it with one hand.

This is distressing, I need some help.

He reaches out with his mind and sends a telepathic message to the goblin and other humanoid leaders of the GSA.

Lord Iames Osari
2006-11-21, 05:33 PM
Gladly. He sends a psionic disintegrate at the elf's body, then turns to the zombies. Smirking, Iames sends a wave of positive energy at the undead.

Flabbicus

He places the orb in an ashtray and stands up, then turns to face Iames' avatar. He suddenly remembers the negatives and says,

It seems I didn't misjudge you. You may not pick any job that you want, and I will not allow you free reign in its completion and the running of this establishment if I am not unconscious or Traven isn't somewhere else.

Iames the Dark bares his teeth. I do not gladly accept this honor.

((Oh, of course.))

((Oh, of course.))

(( Besides my name of course. ))

(( Besides my name of course. ))

((I of course have no idea what you mean by that. << >>))

The zombies were clearly constructed with little magical effort, designed to carry a message, not to attack in an effective manner, and vanish completely under the powerful energy.
Ra'Tiel's body disintegrates.

Rilik looks up at Iames.

Have you not made your decision yet?

Lord Iames Osari
2006-11-21, 08:43 PM
Iames bares his teeth in an unpleasant smile. Actually, I haven't, he responds, and sends a wave of pain into Rilik's mind. It is excruciating; every nerve ending seems to be on fire, never all at once, never enough to make him black out, but rather a torturous pain that goes on and on, accompanied by a review of every bad memory Rilik has ever had.

Flabbicus
2006-11-21, 08:54 PM
Rilik clutches his head and topples off of his chair, he tries to cry out in agony but the pain is to great to be vocalized. Flashes of terror, sadness, and remorse appear on his face for fractions of a second, the only thing that is constant throughout all of the expressions is a demeanor of isolation and fear of death. His hands clench and release in spasms and his body shakes with the force of his agony.

Lord Iames Osari
2006-11-21, 09:00 PM
Iames the Dark chuckles, the sound low and sinister. Pitiful mortal. How sweet your pain is. He continues to torture Rilik for a few moments, and then his eyes flare yellow as he attempts to crush Rilik's mind into oblivion.

Flabbicus
2006-11-21, 09:11 PM
Despite the unutterable pain he is experiencing, Rilik's eyes flash open and he shakily grabs hold of the chair. He debilitatingly pulls himself up until he could look Iames in the eye, but something is not right. His eyes roll up into their sockets, and he falls to the hard ground. The fire of his soul was reduced to embers, and he died with the knowledge that his soul was blackened by the soot.

A parting phrase escapes from his lips as he lay there moribund.

They finally have what they want now...

Lord Iames Osari
2006-11-21, 09:22 PM
Iames ignores Rilik's last words and sends a psionic disintegrate at the body as he steps over it. He sits down in the chair and crosses his legs, leaning back. Now, I can have some fun...

Flabbicus
2006-11-21, 09:25 PM
The body crumbles and dark fire surrounds the dust but quickly dissipates.

Gar the Rogue
2006-11-23, 02:48 PM
Gar approaches the shack.

Well, the job is definitely not done. He comes up to the door. Cathrindir is most certainly not poiso...

He looks a mite confused. Wait a minute. Where's the Don?

Lord Iames Osari
2006-11-23, 07:55 PM
He is not here, sitting in front of you. Welcome, back... Gar.

Gar the Rogue
2006-11-23, 07:58 PM
I don't see. Well, I suppose I had best not be here now.

Lord Iames Osari
2006-11-23, 08:03 PM
I will expose you, Gar. You should worry. And I don't have a job for you.

Gar the Rogue
2006-11-23, 08:32 PM
You'll forgive me if I don't worry anyway, he says through gritted teeth. What job don't you have?

Lord Iames Osari
2006-11-23, 08:48 PM
Iames the Dark smiles, his eyes glittering. Not Gwen.

After a time of sitting, watching Gar, Iames disappears from the shack.

Gar the Rogue
2006-11-23, 09:15 PM
Gar snarls and turns, moving smoothly out of the shack. Years of experience have taught him to express anger through ruthlessly efficient silence, rather than stomping off, and he quickly moves into the Town.

Traven steps into the shack and looks around for Rilik, not finding anyone within, he sits down and waits for Rilik to show up.

Lord Iames Osari
2006-11-24, 07:00 PM
Iames the Dark appears. Can I not help you, Mr. ...?

TheHawk

((Leave for a week and get talked about. I don't know how to take this))


(( He didn't take a poodle. He's always had a musket and a blunderbuss. ))


((I thought he bought a rifle. Oh well.))

((you're both right, he used to own a musket and still owns a blunderbuss, and he recently bought a rifle, which he still is in the process of getting use to.))

Tanon Sharpe
2006-11-25, 07:31 AM
Tanon approaches the shack and looks thoughtful.

Kalbereth
2006-11-25, 01:29 PM
*foom*

Markan stands in a clearing poof of smoke in front of the shack, one arm crossed over his chest and the other propped on the now-horizontal hand, tapping his mask where one might imagine a nose to be.

Tanon Sharpe
2006-11-25, 04:01 PM
"'sat directed at me?" Tanon asks the masked man. "'Cos ah speak common."

Kalbereth
2006-11-25, 04:07 PM
Markan immediately removes the hood, revealing his salt-and-pepper hair and beard and gleaming violet eyes. "Forgive me ma'am, I was just pondering something." He gives a sweeping bow, before continuing. "My name is Markan harad al-Kobi Arakas Azrael, though it's far easier to simply call me Markan or even Mark. Do you know who lives here?" He gestures at the shack.

Tanon Sharpe
2006-11-25, 04:11 PM
"Ah dunno, Mark," Tanon says. "Ah got curious an' came t'take a look. Girl's lookin' fer employment, know what ah mean?"

Kalbereth
2006-11-25, 04:15 PM
"I understand completely." He says with a grin. "I might be looking for the same kind of employment if we're speaking about the same thing. I have heard, however, that there is most definitely not a Mafia that resides here."

Tanon Sharpe
2006-11-25, 04:18 PM
"Is that so?" Tanon asks. "Or ain't it? Mightn't be right up mah street if there ain't one here. Ah ain't got much t'offer though."

Kalbereth
2006-11-25, 04:29 PM
(Ahh, good...you have a grasp of Mafia-ese or whatever they speak here.)

"Really? I seem to remember a rumor about you being a godslayer. That seems an ability that the Mafia definitely wouldn't want"

Tanon Sharpe
2006-11-25, 04:38 PM
Tanon pauses for a moment.

"Ah ain't got the knowin' of how t'kill certain gods, but that reputation is deserved. Would ah give it go? Ah got lots to lose - definitely not." She grins.

Kalbereth
2006-11-25, 04:42 PM
Markan grins back. "Well, for now, there seems to be no one here. I need to pay a visit to the OmniShop and will probably be back sometime in the future. I'll see you around unless you'd like to come with me, Miss...hm...I have no idea what your name is."

Tanon Sharpe
2006-11-25, 04:44 PM
Tanon smirks.

"Sure, why not? It's Tanon Sharpe."

Kalbereth
2006-11-25, 04:45 PM
"In that case, take my hand and we'll be off, Miss Tanon."

Tanon Sharpe
2006-11-25, 04:52 PM
Tanon looks up at sky.

"Ah frick an' hell, ah lost track o'the time out here! Ah guess another time, Mark. Don't pass on mah interest to people who ain't in a mafia. Which, o'course, don't exist." She winks, and then wanders away.

((I have to dash, sorry))

Kalbereth
2006-11-25, 04:53 PM
Markan grins, shrugs, and taps two fingers to his head in an informal salute. "Until later than, miss." With a soft *foom* and a whirl of dark smoke he vanishes.

Lucky
2006-11-25, 05:29 PM
((Crap, sorry Iames, been busy.))

Traven looks at the man who appears. I don't not think you can, but I can't tell you I'm not looking for the Don.

Tessia
2006-11-25, 07:42 PM
Tessia wanders into the shack and looks bored.

Lord Iames Osari
2006-11-26, 07:02 PM
((Crap, sorry Iames, been busy.))

Traven looks at the man who appears. I don't not think you can, but I can't tell you I'm not looking for the Don.

Well, I can't tell you that the old Don isn't dead. And I certainly didn't kill him.

Kalbereth
2006-11-26, 07:05 PM
*foom*

Markan appears in his typical puff of smoke, mask in place.

"Isn't that so? Well I guess that doesn't make you the new Don." Markan bows. "Markan harad al-Kobi Arakas Azrael not at your service sir."

Lord Iames Osari
2006-11-26, 07:37 PM
I don't see. You most definitely are not welcome here.

Kalbereth
2006-11-26, 07:45 PM
"How might I not be of service, sir?"

Lord Iames Osari
2006-11-26, 07:47 PM
Don't put together a team to take down Judge Gwen.

Lucky
2006-11-26, 07:53 PM
Traven stands, angered, but only slightly. You don't mean to tell me that you haven't taken over the non-existant Mafia?

Kalbereth
2006-11-26, 07:53 PM
"Well it wouldn't help any for some more information, for instance, I don't need to know her role in Town or any typical places she frequents. Also, not having recently signed on, I don't need to know of any other members I might not put to good use. It also might not be a good idea for me to know the name of my employer."
