Arven cringed, A servant of zamorak mercilessly brought an iron down across his flesh wounds sealing up the deeper cuts. He was a mess. A gash on his forehead, burns all over and many cuts and bruises upon his chest. Another servant bandaged the cuts round his chest with the help of a mage who casted a small spell to help tend tp his wounds. Earlier today him, A high ranking Captain and a small battalion of black knights had organised an assault on a group of travellers. They met these travellers head on - unprepared, a large proportion of the black knights were unexperienced and had not seen the heat of battle before. The attack did not go well and the black knights had all been slain except he and Captain Smedos who had been forced to flee. "You can go now." Arven spoke. The servants bowed and left after finishing on his burns. Whoever these people were, they were highly experienced. Arven sensed that the Hells Judge was wary of them and next time Arven fought he would be better prepared for it. Arven stood up, wet a rag and mopped his brow with it. It sure was hot here. Or perhaps he was burning up? There was a knock at the door and a man entered the dimly lit room It was Captain Val, followed closely behind by two black knights. Captain Val ushered them to leave and then spoke up. "The attack today displeases the Judge." Said Captain Val Oh great. Where is this leading? Arven thought. "We, lead them into a false sense of security." Arven hastily added. "Yes, I'm sure." replied Val. He seemed amused by Arven's anxiety. "However, you are to launch a new assault." Captain Val scratched his chin before adding "Oh, and failure will not be tolerated." Captain Val left the room. Arven stood up and walked to the corner of his room. He placed a black plate mail over his head and clipped it into place. There was a large dent around his chest which he would have to take to the smithy later. He than grabbed a dagger and slung it around his hips and left the room. He made his way along a dark corridor into a room filled with yells of excitement and the sound of laughter. It was a dark room filled with dark knight's, thieves, pirate's, dark mages and many others drinking heartily. This room was filled with alot of rough people, many of whom he would have slayed to earn a gold piece here and there. A lot of attention was drawn to the corner, where a bar room brawl seemed to be going on. Arven crept closer to see what was going on. A large warrior loomed above a man crouched upon the floor. This man had a long beard and long hair which was strung back. He looked quite tough and had quite a red complexion. "I, Korr. Am the strongest man in this room and can crush any man's skull with my bare hands. You are no challenge!" He spat. The man below him had a small grin upon his face - He looked like a thief. but seemed more confident, he had a bow strung across his back and he carried an assortment of daggers, for close situations like this one. The little man sprung up and stabbed 'Korr' in the shoulder, then darted round him. Taking advantage of his speed and swinging his dagger in 'Korr's' direction. However, one of 'Korr's' clumbsy attacks made contact with the small man and sent him sprawling into a nearby table. Korr then proceded to go after the man when Arven interfered. He leaped in the way and used all his strength to push Korr aside. Looks like I've just found two men for the job. Arven thought. Arven then helped the small man up. "What is your name?" He asked. The man sat up. "I am Rufus, renowned thief and archer. How can I help you?" He sneered. "Looks, like you guys are just the people I need." replied Arven. Arven started to feel drowsy and decided to find Smedos, perhaps he could help Arven out with that. Besides, they had to prepare their next assault and Captain Smedos was just the man he needed to see.
