Vieto and Rip are two of the most notorious and successful thieves in all of the Cerrenthian Empire. They become unlikely heroes after they are sought out by a warrior monk from a long forgotten order. The two are tasked with finding the one known a...
Dorma: "Leave here, Collector, before I have to use your blood for paint! The two of you get out, you should've never come if you were being followed! I'm not letting you trash my damned bar again!"
Ver-Kaal: "No, please, I assure you I am no—"
Rip pushed harder on Ver-Kaal, causing his head to slightly hit the bar
Rip: "You're a damn liar!"
Vieto: "You're not a collector? Sure and I'm the emperor"
Ver-Kaal: "No, that's what I'm trying to tell you. Please I mean you no harm! I have gems and coin!"
Ver-Kaal raised his hands showing submission. Ver-Kaal had just spoken his favorite words. "Gems" and "Coin".
Vieto: "Let him up."
Rip hesitated at first before letting off of Ver-Kaal, allowing him to stand.
Ver-Kaal: "I've been searching for you and your friend in hopes of employing your services. Like I said, I have the means of payment."
Ver-Kaal held out a large pouch. The shapes of gold coins and gems could be seen jutting through the leather.

Vieto and Rip looked at eachother then back to Ver-Kaal.
Vieto: "Alright then, what do you need? Theft? Assassination? Extortion?"
Ver-Kaal: "Actually I was interested in your escort service."
Vieto: "Escort? Look friend, we do a lot of things but we don't escort. You can go to any red light district for that."
Rip put his face in his palm and shook his head.
Rip: "I don't think he means that type of escort, Jackass."
Vieto: "Bite me Rip. Well it's been a while since anyone's asked us to escort. You sure you don't need something stolen, someone ruffed up?"
Ver-Kaal: "No, no, I simply need an escort to accompany me on my journey. I have heard good things about you two that makes me believe you will be best for accomplishing that."
Rip gained a confused look on his face. He thought to himself about who would possibly put in a good word for two wanted men. He looked at Vieto and judging by his expression he thought the same.
Vieto: "Okay, sure then, uh, where are you planning on going for this journey."
Ver-Kaal: "Well I am going to retrieve something very important... I just have to find it first."
Vieto: "So, you think we can just go along with you? I don't know if you know this but we've got a big price on our heads throughout the whole of the empire."
Ver-Kaal: "Well luckily for both of you, we won't be in the empire for long."
Vieto and Rip looked at each other. Both were slightly shocked.
