"Oh I dont think you'll be goin anywhere fella." You hear a deep voice come from behind you, where you had entered. "Nowhere at all Im afraid." In front of you, further down the tunnel another voice comes from the darkness.
Behind you, you see a Average man. Wearing leather armor and a dark cloak. A mask covers the lower half of his face but what you can see is aged skin. Middle age best guess and short salt and pepper hair. The Man is holding a pair of shortswords in his hands. Behind him is another figure, this one is smaller and slimmer; their face is completely covered by shadow, caused by a hood.
"Fraid you stumbled into the Guilds business, we dont like it when folk do that." The man speaks, his voice is muffled by the cloth covering his face. "Put the lil lady down and you can be on your way, no harm done."

You know a group of Thieves,Murderers and Con-men have formed a group within the city, There has been many attempts to force them to Disband but all lowlife within the city seem to protect this "Guild" no matter the cost. They mostly operate by night, with some of the Olympian guard on their payroll to keep them quiet while they go about their business. You have heard them called the Rough Guild and the True Olympians. It is a mafia type operation, with underlings carrying out jobs for the Head of the Guild; The King of Lies.
"She an' her Boss ran afoul of the King o' Lies. They asked for protection and it was given, yet they didn't pay up; cant let that go unpunished." The Man responds, He has a weird accent for an Olympian. Carrus you look at the available features and just silently shake your head, You do recognize the speaker. It's Commander Kruger.

Protection? continues Carrus in the same cool, calm voice. What protection did they need? From what danger could the proud Olympian Guard not defend them?
Cybele seethes quietly, letting Carrus do the talking. Either these men have no idea who they are talking to and are in for a rude surprise, or the three of them have been recognized and these men have a plan.

Kruger, Still with his face covered begins walking back and forth. "That bloke Isaac made a deal with someone he shouldn't have, When the fella came callin for whats due, Isaac turned to us.....without tellin us what we'd be facin." Kruger taps the smaller figure on the shoulder. "Missy here was the only reason we go out of there alive, This Is out payback and payment." Kruger pulls the pair of shortswords from their sheaths and twirls them in his hands.
The voice further down the tunnel sounds closer now. "Who is this woman to you, Paladin. Why have you come looking for her."

Carrus puts his hand casually on the hilt of his sword, hanging from his belt, and regards the man. You don't know? I heard your "Guild" was ambitious. Saw itself as organised. Skillful. You don't know your victim? He glances over at Anax. Seems... unwise of them. Reckless even, no?
The Man laughs and points one of the shortswords towards you Carrus. "We know who she is, we dont know who she is to you....Know what. I dont care, take em lads and leave the girl alive." As the man finishes speaking from behind you an arrow whizzes out and strikes him in the shoulder. "What the-" Is all he can get out before another sinks into the meat of his leg. "LUNA HAVE YOU GONE BLOODY MENTAL.!?!"
Stepping out from the darkness behind you, you see a well groomed young man. A simple and maintained black goatee on a chiseled jaw. Long hair tied back behind his head as he pulls another arrow from a quiver at his side. You all recognize him, Simply known as "Hood" he is an expert marksman and peacekeeper within Olympia, It makes sense that he would have known about these people because he is usually the one to deal with them.
"Oh, Hello Cybele." He gives you a wink as he fires a warning shot past the mans head. "Next one is between your eyes."
[OoC]: Christ these guys are stronger than us... remind me why we're the saviours of Greece again when these badasses are members of the city guard and street gangs lol?

Carrus gives a professional nod to Hood, then turns his attention back to Kruger, and glances for a moment at Cari. My sister.
He moves his hand from the hilt of his longsword to the shaft of the battleaxe he carries, and slowly draws it. This axe. It belonged to Drogon. King of the Minotaurs. He turns it idly in his hand. I cut off his arm. Put my blade through his skull. Then took this from his corpse. He lowers the axe slightly, and returns his gaze to Kruger, asking in the same calm tone: Her son. My nephew. Where is he?
Anax, standing slightly behind Carrus, allows Ashen to become wreathed in crimson flame - suddenly illuminating the area as he looks menacingly at the men in front of him.
[OoC]: Anax is attempting to aid Carrus on any Intimidation check he's about to do.

Kruger pulls the arrow from his thigh and winces in pain. Hood pulls another arrow and aims it at the man. "Now I'd be mighty careful if I were you, Answer the mans question." Krugers eyes dart back and forth, weighing his options.
"The Boy is in the Holden Orphanage over in the east district." He looks over his shoulder and gives a nod to the person standing behind him, The Person backs out of the passage. "We know your faces now, You may have the upper hand here but you wont upon our next meeting, I guarantee that." Kruger backs out of the passage and leaves.
Dicaeus, You have been watching people come and go for the last 20 minutes; with no sign of your companions anywhere. You are getting a few looks from the townsfolk but no one is approaching you.

"Perhaps once we retrieve your nephew, we should consider moving your family to another area of Greece? I'm sure I could convince Leonidas to help them, if you'd be interested?" Anax lets the sword flames disperse as he addresses Carrus.

Mother and Father are proud. They will not leave easily. Carrus looks over at Cybele and then Anax. But you are right. We will take them. A week or so. Then we return.
Let's get out of here. We've kept the Gorgons waiting enough. He picks up Cari, and walks with her back to the world outside.
Carrus, you pick up Cari and she is fairly light. Still trembling from hunger or the experience, you are not sure. Exiting the passage out into the bright sun, She winces and turns away from the bright light, Closing her eyes. Now that she is in light you can see her covered in dirt and tears, Her wounds are healed but still look sore, She doesnt speak at all as you bring her back into the city.
Dicaeus you wait another 10 minutes and see your allies walking towards you, Carrus is carrying a small and frail looking young woman.

When the four are all together again, Carrus will sit Cari down somewhere, give her a little time to rest, and then bring her to the orphanage to pick up her son, if he is truly there. He informs Dicaeus of what has happened. Kruger is part of the Guild. This is a problem. But for another time.
Dicaeus nods. “A problem for another time indeed. I followed that assassin that nearly framed you to a warehouse. After the threat of the Gorgons has ended, we should return there and try to pick up the trail. But enough of this for now.”Dicaeus pulls Carrus aside from the others. ”Her life’s thread is thin, I sense that much. Your sister been through much, and she was close to death. Be with her. Comfort her. Then we march.”
"Oh I dont think you'll be goin anywhere fella." You hear a deep voice come from behind you, where you had entered. "Nowhere at all Im afraid." In front of you, further down the tunnel another voice comes from the darkness.

Carrus slowly lowers Cari so that she is lying on the tunnel floor. He leans in to whisper: Don't worry, Cari. Just lie still. We'll handle this.
He stands up, and looks calmly at the man. And what business does your 'Guild' have with this woman?
Does Carrus recognise the speaker? Perception 17
Also, what do we know of a Guild? Standard mafia-type operation? Anything specific to them?
You know a group of Thieves,Murderers and Con-men have formed a group within the city, There has been many attempts to force them to Disband but all lowlife within the city seem to protect this "Guild" no matter the cost.

Anax is sizing both of them up as per his Battlemaster ability. He's letting Carrus lead the exchange, but has a tight grip on Ashen.
