The stars aren't right!(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Their destination turns out to be on the other side of the town, near the western gate. There's a small office next to a courtyard that's surrounded by warehouses and stables. The courtyard is empty save for a few guards guarding the stables and warehouses.

Helena looks around, before heading over to the office and stepping inside, looking around for someone in charge or letting Cindy take the lead, whichever was easier.

*We should probably get her some more clothes if we're stealing her away from her employers...*

 

[Hentaispider]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

*We'll need money for other things as well. Any ideas.*

Cindy opens the door to the office and steps aside, clearly expecting someone else to take the lead.

*There's still the job tonight, and there's nothing stopping from robbing our new benefactor blind...*

It took Helena a moment to find who was in charge, but after she did she politely asked when the next trade caravan was heading Kantora, saying she didn't want to travel alone.

Inside there's a thin, bald man wearing scruffy black clothes sitting on a desk. "Come back tomorrow at dawn and take care of your own food. It's a ten day trip and there are bandits, so I hope you can use that weapon of yours."

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

"Done and done, we'll be here at dawn, thank you" Turning she relayed everything to the others and pondered making some money. She was right, there was still the job, but there were other ways to make coin. "Cindy, How would you go about making some fast coin?" She asked quietly

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

There's a certain amount of bitterness in Cindy's voice when she answers: "The only ones with lots of money are the nobles. Rob one of them."

 

[Courage Wolf]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Helena took the time to steer Cindy out of the office and away from prying ears before speaking."Okay then! Can do, Who's up for a heist?" If they only took what they absolutely needed, someone with an obscene amount of wealth would hardly notice... Or they would... And they would be long gone and the blame would fall onto the criminals already entrenched here...

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

"Sure, I bet we can just swoop in, grab some coins and get out again." Jasmine says dryly.

 

[Courage Wolf]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

"Exactly! Wait..." Helena was obviously having a rather severe blonde moment, but after a minute to recover she decided to back her decision anyway. "Listen, if the nobles here are all so incredibly wealthy, and the people here suffer for it, then odds are they wont miss anything if we don't take much. But getting caught would also be terrible. As much as the risk galls me, unless we're resorting to prostitution, or stealing from the crooks we're staying with, I'm open to suggestions."

 

[Hentaispider]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

"As wealthy as they are, they probably have lots of guards. And if we manage to steal something, it probably won't be easy to turn into coin. Who's the most corrupted noble here?" Jasmine turns to look at Cindy, who doesn't even hesitate before answering. "Oleg Vishnek. He calls some unlucky girls to his manor every night."

"Think we can get in?"

"You'll need to talk with Braston. He's the one Oleg deals with."

 

[Courage Wolf]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

"So I do believe we have a plan then." Helena said after thinking for a minute.

"lets go find this Braston and get everything set, time to make some money" Between nervousness and excitement, Helena was just happy at the idea to have some coin rather then having to sneak around like they had been, it was going to bite them in the ass at some point...

 

[Hentaispider]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Cindy pales a little, but nods and starts leading them across the city again back to the criminal den they had spent the night.

 

[Courage Wolf]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Helena follows Cindy back to the den, her mind spinning and whirring as she thought about all the ways this could go wrong, and how to stack the odds in there favor. The easy way was with Jasmine, but if something happened to her, then they were well and truly boned. Hell, they had been boned since this entire affair started.

*What are you thinking, My thought was to have you outside hidden and to react accordingly, odds are you could get what we needed while me and Cindy did the shitty part. Another one was to have you charm your way through everyone and just abuse your power, but I have no idea how much you could accomplish that way...*

 

[Hentaispider]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

"If Oleg is as depraved as I think, it shouldn't be hard to take control of him. If that doesn't work, we'll think of something else."

As Cindy points Braston out to Jasmine, she walks to talk with him and soon he's smiling and nodding at what Jasmine says.

 

[Courage Wolf]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

*Unless the rich bastard is a mage or has one under his payroll, which is what really worries me. Regardless, I'll trust to your experience* Waiting for Jasmine to return and give them the news, Helena turned to Cindy. "What do you think about the situation? I can see your mind mulling something over"

 

[Hentaispider]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

"Oleg has really bad reputation. Sometimes the girls return in bad shape. Occasionally they don't return at all."

Soon Jasmine returns to Helena. "We'll head to the manor after sunset. There'll be someone waiting at the servant's gate. What do we do until then?"

 

[Courage Wolf]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

"Plan and plot and prepare. Apparently Oleg has quite the reputation for roughing up or killing his guests..."

Helena headed back to the room and sat on the bed, thinking hard. They would need to scope out the manor, and figure something out before there time was up, and it was moving quickly.

"Personally I would like to keep Cindy out of this one, I don't mind a little rough treatment and I would hate to see our newest friend hurt. More importantly Jasmine, you and I share a link and I think that's going to be our biggest advantage..."

 

[Hentaispider]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

"You're probably right. Let's go to our room to talk."

Jasmine leads Helena and Cindy into the luxurious bedroom they spent the night in. "What can you tell us about the manor?"

"It's quite small for a manor - only a few dozen rooms - and near the city walls. Apparently Oleg has his fun in the cellar while the strongroom is upstairs. He only has half a dozen servants, but there'll be at least a few guards, also. If you can control him, they'll all do what he says without question."

 

[Courage Wolf]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

"Ok, so we need to get him under control, that seems the easiest route. Do you know if he has any magic users in his employ?" Helena asked after a moment.
