<div align="center"> <b><i><u>The Assasination</u></i></b> <div align="left"> <span style="font-family: courier new,courier">It was an average night in the southern part of the city of Qeynos. The air outside was at a nice tempeture, not too hot, not too cold, just right. The guards were on their usual patrol down the city streets and the usual adventurers and travelers were making their way through the area. Things seemed as they should but just as you can't judge a book by its cover you can't judge a day by its setting...</span> <div align="left"><span style="font-family: Courier New"> </span><div align="left"><span style="font-family: Courier New"> A powerfull Wizard walked down the street. The mage was well known through out Qeynos both for his fame and for his fortune. He made his way to his luxurious Qeynos manor. Before he went in he payed two Barbarian guards to watch his door for the night. He always hired guards to watch his home for fear of thieves and attempts at his life but he figured with his renown no one would realy try anything, but this time some one was watching. The Wizard made his way to his sleeping chamber filled with pristine furneture and rare items. He then proceeded to slip into his bed as he did he blew the candle on his bedside table out and said to him self "My life is good, thank you Quellious." Then shut his eyes and his mind enterted the realm of Morell Thule.</span><span style="font-family: Courier New"> As the lights went off in the mage's home the cloaked figure in the shadows made his move. He crept silently in the dark watching for Qeynos guard patrols finding a way into an alley behind the home of his prey. He then proceeded to creep up behind one of the Barbarian guards. With a quick movement of his hands he pulled his daggers from their sheath and used one to slice across the throat of the Barbarian and the other to plunge into the victoms rib cage and slice upwards to the heart. He then pushed the body forward and dropped a bottle of dwarven ale next to him. The other barbarian turned quickly drawing his sword but took notice of the bottle and withdrew it back into its sheath. "Yar not again!" he said "this is tha second time this week lad, don't ya realize we're on duty" he then proceeded to pick up the body mubbling "For the love of Marr why do ya gota make ma job harda then its sposed to be." As he reached down to pick the body up he herd a nois, it was the sound of bow strings. As he looked up to see what it was an arrow shot straiaght through his eye and into his head, his body fell lifeless. "Thule damnit I was aiming for his forhead... Oh well." the assasin muttered as he pulled out the arrow. He then dragged the bodies to the side of the house into the alleys no one every realy gose through. He then made his way to the door and proceeded to pick the lock. "Ha!" he said in his mind as he opened the door and crept in silently. Then out of no where he herd a bark. He drew his blade and turned to find an Antonican wolf looking at him. He quickly slew it and ran into the shadows. He listened for any sign of the wizard making sure he was not awake. Then the sound came, it was snoring. He then began to sneak through the house planting explosives in key locations. Grining he then crept his way up the stairs and into the pristine bedroom of the wizard making sure not to make any kind of sound. He pulled out his dagger and leaned him self over the wizard. He then shouted "This is for Ginzmo you finger wiggling son of a troll." and plunged his dagger deep in to the wizards chest as the he awoke from a deep sleep. He then pulled out a gnomish explosive, lit the fuse and threw it as he jumped out the window on to other roof tops of neighboring homes.</span><div align="left"><span style="font-family: Courier New"> </span></div></div><span style="font-family: Courier New"> A chain of explosians reacted through out the home of one of Qeynos' well known mages causing the house to collapse. Both guards and citizens rushed to see what all the comotion and nois was about. Chaos and havoc showed its self that night as people felt fear and distress through out the city. Laughing histericly the assasin slipped away into the down below and made his way out of the city.</span></div><span style="font-family: Courier New"> </span></div><span style="font-family: Courier New"><i><span style="font-family: helvetica">The next day the brother of the wizard went to collect his inheritance</span></i>...</span></div>
