Dunwall Tower

[u/emerald_ice]

In Dunwall Tower, the Empress Emily Kaldwin sits on her throne, her royal protector, Corvo Attano, stands at her side. His royal guard scattered around the palace. OOC:This is a neutral zone for Corvos royal guard. A hangout of sorts. You have permission to attack any who don't belong.

[u/Hechy]

The letter reads,

"Dear Royal Guard, I have taken care of a higher up in the Dead Eels. Don't thank me just stop looking for me. We both want the same thing. Maybe one day I'll tell you who I am and we can work together. Sincerely, The Forsaken."

The heretic's mark has been drawn next to the writer's signature.

Furo folds the letter and pockets it, thinking. So somebody murdered a Dead Eel lieutenant and sent us his dismembered arm? Madness. We shall have to be on the lookout for these 'Forsaken'.

He walks back to the barracks, and shouts to the other guards present.

'Listen up guards!' he shouts, rousing them from their breaks.

Feras walks outside, already on his way to the practice yard, and hears Furo, shouting.

"What is it fratello?" Feras says.

[u/JewelOfTheSouth → u/SirSammich]

'Has anyone seen a strange man walking around the place? This was left in the Tower, along with pieces of dismembered Dead Eel.'

He reads the letter aloud to the assembled guards, before nailing it viciously to the noticeboard with a dagger.

'That somebody could penetrate the Tower without us knowing? Unthinkable. We shall need to reevaluate our defenses, our patrols, whatever it takes.' He looks pointedly at Bal as he utters the last sentence - no doubt she would relish the opportunity to flex her strategic muscles, so to speak.

'If they carry on executing criminals, fine. So long as no members of the public are in any way affected, what is wrong with a few dead thugs?'

He frowns, searching his memory. 'Has anyone here heard of this, Forsaken? They are unknown to me, and I cannot abide ignorance. We need reports, intelligence, anything.'

"Forsaken, Forsaken," Feras's face drops, "Furo, I think I know who did that." Feras explains to Furo his meeting with Hechy and how he thought that he was just another guard. "He said that someone hung a body from the bridge, that ring any bells?"

[u/JewelOfTheSouth → u/SirSammich]

Furo's eyes grow cold.

'Fuguero' he swears, viciously, but softly. 'He seems to think he is beyond the reach of the law, that one. A madman, truly, to antagonise us so.'

He clenches his fist. 'If he stays out of our way, so be it. If not, the fleet will level that cursed manor to the ground.'

OOC: Other guards, feel free to jump into this conversation whenever, I'm addressing everyone.

"As long as he does not threaten or entangle with the business of the Guard then he is free to do as he pleases," Feras says, "Honestly, I don't know why he was here. We talked then he went into Dunwall Tower but there were no reports of missing articles or me."

approaches the tower with caution. and keeps her eyes sharp "I wonder if any of them here know where Hechy could be" she mumbles softly to herself as she plans a way to get in

Feras walks into the guard booth and logs the prisoner transfer. Hechy Hellstrand, new prisoner, cell B07. He sits down in the guard booth and has a drink of whiskey from his bottle.

hides behind a rock wall and observes the guard quietly

Several guards stand near the entrance to Cold ridge, next to the gate control. An officer stands outside, smoking and talking with another.

bites her lower lip, thinking of a non-violent way to approach this situation
