The bounty
It is 1:20 noon in paterlain city. A man walks up to the bounty flyer. The bounty: Derek Lotter, wanted alive, wanted for stealing 2,000 goins, reward: 700 goins, appearance brown hair, deep blue eyes, has a mustache, has a rusty old chest armor and a long sleeve shirt under the chest armor, armed with a short sword, bounty by tavern owner Dawn diamond. The Bounty was posted on Thursday, june 4th. The man thought to himself, “should I take this bounty? I mean 700 goins is not enough for a temporary home” The man looked at the other bounties and they all seemed hard or didn’t pay good enough. (later) the man arrived at a small bounty building. it is somewhere close to the east entrance (the only entrance) Andrew goes inside and there are 4 counters and goes to one of the counters and arrives and one of the counters. “Name and occupation” The old lady at the counter says. “Andrew unter, I am a bounty hunter” Andrew replies. “Do you have a bounty? “Yes“ puts the flyer on the counter, the old lady pulls up a paper for Andrew to sign. Andrew signs it, “are you new here? The old lady asks. “Yeah,” Andrew replies. Do you plan to stay here for a while? The old lady asks again, “yes.” “Get out of my way boy” an old man comes in, shoving Andrew out of the way. “Hey Emma, have any bounty hunters picked my bounty up” “you could’ve just said excuse me, you half brained idiot”
“WHAT DID YOU SAY BOY” The old shouts at andrew. “HAVE YOU GOT NO RESPECT FOR YOUR SENIORS” The old man shouts at Andrew again. “Oh shush you, You’re the one who shoved him” Emma said. “HE DOESN’T MATTER, I JUST WANNA KNOW HAS ANY BOUNTY HUNTER PICKED MY BOUNTY”
“Yes and as a matter of fact he is right next to you” Dawn turns to Andrew. “Well I am leaving the bounty” Andrew says. “WAIT I DIDN’T MEAN IT’ “I’ll give you 900 goins” Dawn says in desperation. Andrew replies with “1,400 or I’m out” “but that’ll leave me without any tax money” “I don’t care” Andrew replies with. “Okay fine” “Alrighty , “now if you don’t mind, I would like to talk about the bounty, somewhere more private.” “We can speak at my tavern.” “Says with a drained voice.” “Excellent.” (later) Andrew and Dawn are at the diamond tavern. Inside there are no customers. “Are you closed? At this time.” “No, the city has a strict alcohol rule.” “What is it?” “They can only have 3 drinks a week and the drinks must be expensive.” “How much are you selling?” “200 goins, that's the cheapest.” “Have you ever heard of underground business?” Andrew now feels guilty. “What? There aren't many underground businesses in paterlain city and having one is a big crime, it could send you to (glup) (whispering) amaymon prison.” “Amaymon prison?” “DON’T SAY IT OUT LOUD!” “It's guarded by a demon dragon.” Dawn says with stuttering. “Demon dragons don’t exist.” “It is probably a red leaf dragon and If a dragon were to be guarding it, either that dragon has marked its territory or it is trained to be there.” Anyway we are getting off task. “Did he have any mistgred, fier bottle?” “They are banned to citizens who don’t have combat experience.” Dawn says while looking stressed out. “Have you told anyone else about this robbery?” “Only my old friend, BHSPL and emma.” “Do you know him?” “No.” how do you know his name?” “Because my old friend told me.” “I am gonna need to know the name of your friend.” “Drawan bigote, he sells weapons in mi street. An--``Andrew interrupts by saying. “You told me everything I needed.” (later) Andrew is walking down mi street. in his mind. “Damn look at those weapons, actually what kind of city has heavy laws about booze but doesn’t have the same laws about weapons or maybe it does, that city gate guard was speaking idioticus.” Andrew walks down mi street looking for darwan bigote but can’t help eyeing the weapons and starts regretting not buying a better weapon than his skinny saw sword. feeling lost, he goes to a random street merchant with a mustache and blue eyes. “Hey you.” Andrew pointing at the street merchant. “si senor.” “Do you know drawan bigote.” “Ah, you are looking for deadly mustache.” The merchant says in a Fake Spanish accent. Andrew in his mind “so dumb.” “Why is he called a deadly mustache?” Andrew questions
“Because he was an ex soldier, he was one of the best.”
“Does he have any relatives?” “He had a wife that was murdered. Is there a point to these questions?” “I am hunting for a Derek lotter.” Andrew shows the bounty flyer to him. “WHO PUT A BOUNTY ON HIM!?” The mexihan merchant yelled at andrew. This gets everybody's attention. “What's happening here?” A big muscular bounty hunter says.
Andrew taps his flyer twice. This basically says to other bounty hunters “I have a bounty do not interfere” the big man seeing this backs off and turns around says “its alright everybody it's just a customer and seller arguing.” The crowd couldn’t care less and everybody just carrey on with their day. “Now. why were you yelling at me and was
surprised that someone put a bounty on him?” “Please forgive me. It’s odd, Derek is an honest man he doesn’t even need to steal!” “Perhaps he was sabotaging.” Andrew says with a skeptical voice. “HE WOULD NOT DO THAT!” The merchant says in a sure but nervous voice. “What makes you so sure?” “Because he is one the richest smith’s here. Everyone knows that in paterlain city.” “You must be new to paterlain.” Andrew in his thoughts ``there's something wrong with this man.” His appearance might look like mexihan with the hat and clothing but his accent is wrong. It sounds like an uncultured flat brained saying amigo or something and there is something wrong with his mustache. It looks torn off but still I need to get more information.” “Can I ask a favor?” “You can buy one.” “50 goins to not tell anyone about our conversation.” Andrew hands the merchant a goin with a 50 number on it. How goins work is like dollars and pennies they got numbers one them 1 to 100. “Well
I will be going.” “Have a nice day.” The merchant says while looking nervous. “I will.” Later Andrew is walking trying to find drawan bigote instead of Derek lotter. “That man was odd, he barely looked like a maxihan but why was that man shaking and was angry. I have seen people shocked when I got a bounty on someone that they have a good connection with but anger is a reaction I never see, odd.” And Andrew realizes he never asked where drawan bigote was. “Ah !@#$.” Andrew goes to ask a bunch of random people. “Do you know where drawan bigote is?” “Who is that?” A city guard asks. The city guard pauses for a moment to remember who the deadly mustache is. “Oh yeah I heard of him but don’t know where is. Sorry. Andrew sighs and asks the same question to other people but still doesn’t know where drawan bigote is. “Okay this is the last person.” “Do you know where drawan bigote is?” Andrew asks a random weapon dealer with a sharp looking mustache. “Are you looking for me?” “Are you him?” “Yeah.” Andrew signs In relief. “Are you aware that your friend “draw diamond” was robbed?” “Are you a bounty hunter?” “Yes.” “ show me your badge.” Andrew shows him his
Badge.
(Description of the badge: a multi-colored, a fox face with two sword carrying on it back)
“Don’t you think he should start an underground business?” Drawan says
Andrew in his mind “odd”
“I take it you know about it” Andrew says to drawan. “A underground business would be very profitable and since there is a heavy alcohol law”
Drawan says to Andrew
“Your friend told me you know someone named Derek lotter” Andrew questions drawan getting more suspicious of him. “Do you think those cowardly nobles deserve to rule anything yet alone a city” drawan says with spite in his voice
“I just !@#$ asked a question” andrew says angered with the questions.
“!@#$ answer the question” drawan replies
Andrew takes a annoyed sigh and says “no, no they don’t”
Andrew in his mind “I smell !@#$ from this man and the other smelled like !@#$ too!” The two exchange looks of hostility
Andrew looks at drawan like he’s about to kill him but drawan is sweaty and he begins to slightly show his teeth like a dog growling at its owner,
Andrew slowly tries to grab his skinny saw sword but stops
Andrew in his mind “If I attack this man I’ll get arrested or worse fined
I need him to explode
I need to gather more evidence but I don’t know if I have enough time
This is a ex soldier, he will know if I am suspicious of him
Wait, I can !@#$ him off.”
“I think it’s cowardly” “What is” “To steal from a friend It doesn’t matter if the goal is noble, it is still cowardly to steal from a friend” “even to free a country?” “That is the most stupidest goal, It is just
False hope the little shits at the bottom of things give them selves!”
Drawan’s eyes frowns, his lips separate but his teeth doesn’t, “y-yo-you SON OF A !@#$” drawan grabs a random long sword and swings at Andrew who pulls out his weapon
Andrew manages to block but drawan gets on the counter and jumps while raising his sword on top of him and brings it down to Andrew but Andrew dodge’s the attack but drawan is an old man and is on the ground and tries to get up meanwhile a crowd gathers. “Did they see?” Drawan gets up slowly but Andrew doesn’t attack, meanwhile a couple guards start to show up but they can’t see because of the crowd.
Finally drawan gets up and swings at Andrew but Andrw gets out of the way and tries to swing at him again but Andrew with his skinny saw sword blocks it but drawan’s time was up, the guards managed to push through the crowd and see Andrew just blocking and dodging drawans attacks. “Is that a bounty hunter?” A city guard whispers. An amateur city guard runs up to drawan and says
“You’re under arrest for Disturbing public peace” the amateur guard says “shut up boy” drawan says to the amateur guard “Louis wai-“ a city guard says while watching afar. “Let him be
Wood, this might be a good learning experience for him” the other guard says while putting his hand on wood’s shoulder meanwhile the amateur city guard gets offended and starts to attack drawan. The amateur city guard tries thrusts his spear into drawan but drawan easily dodge’s the attack despite being 54 old and slice’s the Louis’s belly between an opening in his Armor which causes him to fall down on his knees ``LOUIS!” Woods yells out, meanwhile 4 city guards have arrived at the scene. The two city guards rush to Louis and Woods defends drawan.
“What are you doing?” Woods is confused for a moment but then says “the right thing, leot” and throws a mistgred which he hid in his torso pocket creating a light but clouded enough for them to get away.
Leot looks at Louis and say’s “LOUIS, Did he sliced your skin!” Leot sounding worried. “WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING JUST STANDING THERE, HELP HIM!” Leot yelled at the four city guards. “HEY! You” Leot now talking to Andrew
“What?” Andrew replied in confusion. “Do you have a lystapa?” Leot asked while putting pressure on the wound. “No, ” Andrew replied.
“Wool less sheep!” Leot mutters under his breath but Andrew heard it and thinks “what’s this T shaped !@#$ problem?!” Referring to his big T shaped scar in the middle of his face.
Andrew thinking “Can’t chase after drawan but that street merchant” suddenly runs through the crowd.
It’s 6:37 in the afternoon
Andrew has arrived at merchant’s shopping stall
But the merchant isn’t there but Andrew notices a door and Climbs over the counter and opens the door to only find the merchant frantically looking for something.
The merchant sees Andrew. “wHaT ArE YoU dOiNg HeRe!?” The merchant says in a highly nervous voice while sweating. “I have found who derek lotter really is”
This makes the merchant even more nervous. “wHAt DoEs THAt meAn?!”
“Answer my question first before I answer yours” Andrew says
“What is it that you wanna know?” the merchant comes down a little.
“How did you and drawan meet?” Andrew slowly moves around him to the door behind the merchant. The merchant is busy feeling bad nostalgia .
“I was just a soldier, in the war between groda and Elbrusia, oh that battle I will never forget, the battle of Liyonom it was a brutal battle but mostly one sided.
I was put in the knight Leon’s army, one of nine armies that was formed in order to take Liyonom back after the groda’s sea defenses failed to defend Liyonom from
Elbrusian water attack force, knight Leon ordered us to charge into battle despite the orders from commander fergus the fourth not to, after seeing the idiotic charge
We were hit with a constant barrage of cannon fire. We managed to reach the wall but that didn’t matter because many lives were lost getting to the wall. The remaining ones were shot with arrows but I remain alive because I was under the pile of corpses once I called my brothers. I was there for hours and hours thinking to myself “why did I survive?
How did he become a knight?” I hated knight leon for leading us to our deaths and for disobeying orders. But as I lay there waiting to die, something unexpected happened
The Elbrusian soldiers who occupied the walls were killed. that was when I met drawan and his team-“ the merchant is cut off by Andrew saying “just wait a second''
“Do you still have your chest armor?” Andrew questions
“Yes, But I haven’t used it since the battl-“ the merchant is cut off when he sees Andrew
With his rusty old armor in his hand and his sword. “I think it’s clear”
Andrew tells the street merchant. The street merchant is too stunned to speak.
“Was Derek Lotter an alias?” Andrew questions.
“YES, HE WAS” the merchant yells out.
“He was?” Andrew in his mind. “Who the !@#$ is Derek Lotter” Andrew begins to pull out his sword and points it at the merchant. “Tell me who the !@#$ is Derek Lotter!?”
Andrew repeats his question again. Andrew getting angry holds him by the shirt
And Slams him to the wall right next to the merchant. “HOW ABOUT A BETTER QUESTION, WHAT IS YOUR NAME” Andrew angrily yells out to the merchant while pointing his skinny saw sword at his throat. “MARTIN!” Woods standing at the door.
Woods sees Andrew pointing his sword at Martin and decides to attack Andrew with a long sword but Andrew blocks with his skinny saw sword and kicks Woods to a wall with his knee. Martin attacks Andrew from the behind while having his short sword raised Above his head but Andrew uppercuts him and seeing this opportunity, Woods tries to thrust his Longsword into Andrew but Andrew dodge’s and Andrew tries to slash Woods back but Woods' back armor takes the damage. And thinking quickly Andrew tackles Woods to the ground and after tackling him to the ground, Andrew turns Woods around on his back and gets on top of him to punch him in his face. Andrew punches Woods again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again, and with each punch it gets faster and faster, meanwhile Martin sees this and gets up but feels dizzy and moves very slowly. Andrew continues to punch Woods In his face and then stops because he notices the bruising in his hand from punching Woods.
Andrew then looks up at the ceiling and in the corner of his eye, he sees Martin swings at him with the short sword but Andrew dodge’s the attack. Martin tries to swing at Andrew again but Andrew dodges again. They do this over and over till Andrew trips Woods' body.
Martin goes for the final blow and has Andrew facing the edge of his short sword but Andrew sees the basket of salt they knocked over and it’s In his reach so Andrew gets a handful of salt with his bleeding hand. Ignoring the pain, Andrew rubs the salt in Martin’s eyes and closes his eyes so the salt doesn’t get in his eyes. Martin yells in pain and gets off of Andrew meanwhile Woods opens his eyes to see Martin on the ground And hears him yelling in pain. Woods in his mind “Martin, please forgive me” Woods begins to crawl to the door And gets up through mid way very silently so Andrew doesn’t hear him while he is beating up Martin. As Woods is at the door he Takes one last look at Martin getting beat up by Andrew. Woods is hesitant to leave but Andrew is in far better shape than him at the moment. “Let’s hope they don’t make a connection between us and Martin” Woods leaves as Martin looks at him With the Expression of confusion but it quickly fades away because of the beating he is getting. Andrew suddenly stops to catch his breath and then turns Martin Around and arrests Martin. “Get up, cry eyes”
Andrew forcefully gets Martin up. Andrew turns around and notices Woods is not on the ground nor anywhere in the shop but Andrew moving around Martin, searches for Woods but doesn’t find Woods anywhere in the shop. “Armored timeogat !@#$ must’ve escaped! But can’t blame him” Andrew thinks to himself. Andrew then punches Martin which causes Martin to fall down because of the weak state he is in.
Andrew then pulls out an expanding bag and collects the rusty old chest armor and the short sword and then goes over to Martin and gets him up forcefully. And gets out his map, to find the small bounty building that he got the bounty from. (Later) it is 7:28 in the evening. Andrew has arrived at the small bounty building. And goes inside of it.
“Emma, I have a pc suspect,” Andrew says with a louder voice. “I'll send dawn a letter and in the meantime you can use our only cell,” Emma said while writing a letter.
Two BHSPL employees take Martin to the cell. “Is there an evidence cabinet in this building?” Andrew ask’s Emma. “We don’t even have a changing room,'' another employee answers. “I wasn’t asking if you had one, I was asking for a yes or a no, you look like if a horse kicked a pregnant woman” Andrew says to the employee. “Well, that was unnecessary” the employee responds. “You’re unnecessary. Ya useless rock hard !@#$!” The Employee stares in shock and then turns away. Andrew goes to sit down and wait. Andrew looking up thinks to himself. “I will have to go to court since the bounty took a turn I never expected to take and I will probably have to represent myself in court. What is that half brain idiot’s name again? Dung, dum, damp, dumb, dan,
Daw, oh yeah, it was Dawn.” Andrew gets up “where is the cell you put Cry eyes in?”
Andrew asks emma. “Hey kell, would you be so kind to take Mr Unter to the cell”
Emma requests Keller. “Wouldn’t even do it, if Sanctus alexander himself told me to do it” Keller whispers to Emma. “Please, I’ll make you rose cookies” Emma begs Keller. “No, I will not sacrifice my dignity for some temporary pleasure” Keller whispers to Emma. “I don’t have time for this,” Andrew says to Emma. “I’ll do it but you will have to make rose cookies Emma” A BHSPL Employee says. “Thank you, and I’ll make you eleven rose cookies Ida” Emma says to Ida. “enough with the pointless conversations” Andrew says. “Oh shut up, you rude gobby” Ida insults Andrew.
“Is that how people are referring to goblins, gobby? Really? At least come out with something better” Andrew thinks to himself. As they are walking to the cell,
Ida asks Andrew a question. “So what is the name of your bounty?” “His name is ma !@#$ in” Andrew replied sarcastically. “Please don’t mess around and just tell me his name”
Ida says. “Martin or something, got his name, what I think was his accomplice? I don’t know, they both attacked me and the other shouted his name. And think there is a third one” Andrew says. “Well, we are here, it isn’t impressive but it does it’s job” Ida remarks on the cell cabin. “Ah, so it isn’t connected with the main building. Who the hell thought this was a good idea” Ida unlocks the door
To the cell cabin, letting Andrew in. Martin is laying down on the floor bed while being curled and facing the wall. “Thud, thud, thud,” Martin turns his head slightly and whispers. “So soon?” As Andrew walks in. Ida opens the cell door. “Get up, cry eyes” Andrew says in a demanding voice. But Martin doesn’t comply with Andrew's demand. “Get up! You son of a dog!” Ida says while mimicking Andrew.
“Ida, get out the !@#$ of here” Andrew insultingly says to Ida. “A please, would be more pleasing” Ida says to Andrew. “Ida, please get the !@#$ out of here” Andrew responded with. Ida sighs and gives the keys to Andrew and goes back to the main building. Andrew pulls Martin by the shirt and goes to take a closer look at his eyes but Martin Closes his eyes so Andrew can’t see them. “STOP BEING A LITTLE CHIENNE DEMON, YOU !@#$!” Getting frustrated Andrew throws Martin at the wooden wall of his cell and after Martin curls up to a ball like shape covering his stomach and after Andrew runs over to the wall and inspect the wall
“Good, your skinny ass didn’t damage the wall, other wise I probably be fined but since most cells are dirty and have some to a degree, are damaged, so probably they wouldn’t even be pissed and charge me” Andrew goes to pick Martin up forcefully and open his eyes to see deep blue eyes. “Say, what do you think? Is the average of people with those eyes of yours” Andrew drops Martin and goes back to the main building. “Did you get the information you were looking for?” Emma asks Andrew. “Yes but will only see if the information I gathered holds a pinch of salt in court” Andrew replies to Emma. Andrew goes to sit back down. “How closely do you know dawn, Emma?” Andrew questions Emma. “You seriously think that an old sweet lady like Emma would be tangled up with your Bounty?!”
Keller slightly raised his voice at Andrew. “Wasn’t speaking to you, useless hard !@#$!” Andrew insult’s keller. “What do you mean by that Mr Unter?” Emma questions Andrew back. “I mean things like friends, what he does for a living, did he serve in the military?” Andrew says to Emma. “Well, I know he served in the military and I know he does for a living and I try to help him by lending him
Such as food and a bit of my money.” Emma says. “And his friends he might have?” Andrew questions Emma. “I don’t think he has ever told me about his relationships with other people,” Emma says. “What about Drawan?” Andrew questions Emma. “I only met him few times, so I don’t know much about him but I do know he and Dawn go way back but I don’t see why knowing but his relationships is important” Emma says. “Hmm, could it be possible that sensitive dick is involved in this robbery, if so then I could try to capture him as well for double the money! But nah I don’t want to go through the hassle going through since I don’t even know! If that will double my pay!”
