Ash ordered one of his Dragons to buy a room in an inn some hundred metres from Circumferrence's docking spot. The inn was called "The Beast and the Harlot". Ash added that three sets of full Dragon Battalion uniforms be placed in the room as well as a small stash of gold and a single dagger. Ash, James and Nosaree left the small ship and walked on the busy harbour as a handful of Dragons completed various chores on the ship. A pair of Dragons strode towards the "Beast and the Harlot". His men were professionals. The busy harbour did not impress Ash, although he recognized its enormous capacity. This was an important city to the economy of Weissland, he guessed. So many ships. So many people worked here. Ash felt slightly annoyed by the large presence of Weissland military as the three Dragons walked on. It would be no problem - if they did not screw up. In parts of the Realm, even screwing up could be fixed. But with so many soldiers and guards present, they better not screw up. Ash made a mental note to warn his men one extra time. Ash, James and Nosaree walked around the harbour for almost one hour, studying the surroundings. Ash would have a small team closely observe the routines of the harbour guards. He would have another team look through the entire area for blind spots in the patrolled areas, good running, hiding and surveillance positions and so on. Everything would be done professionally - even before they had the smallest idea of Fenix' position. After the little "walk", the three Dragons returned to the ship briefly, Ash received the key to the room in the "Beast and the Harlot" and without a word, they approached the inn. It was humid, full of smoke and smelled of sweat and beer. Ash smiled. It was perfect. A trio of prostitutes approached the three "seamen". Nosaree dismissed them, staying in character, by saying that it was a bit too early for that sort of "activity", but that he would love to have all three of them later the same day if his friends were not up for it. Giggling, they left the three Dragons. Ash led his friends up the stairs to their room. He unlocked the lock, opened the door and closed it behind them as they entered. It was not large, had a single shabby bed, a small table, stool and closet, but it suited them fine. James checked the window - the Circumferrence was just visible. "Good work!" Ash exclaimed as he opened the closet and retrieved the cloaks. "We'll stay here for two hours and leave when the inn is just about full. No one will notice us leaving, while having three sailors enter and exit as cloaked men a few minutes later would be idiotic! In the meantime, James could tell us about his friend here!" |

James put on his uniform, pulling the cloak around himself. "This man owed Fizban money and using that as leverage we have taken control of him." James began before pausing, "However forgive me I haven't said who he is. He is a merchant from Weissland, an elf by the name of Tarion , who has in the past used Fenix and his team to eliminate competition, quite below anything we would have done really but still, gold is gold." James continued calmly. "He began running out of money and Fizban of course appeared to lend it to him." James flexed his arms to ensure his uniform fit snuggly but properly. "He hasn't payed him back and Fizban has hinted of dire consequences, so he is scared." James sheathed two knives into his belt and one into his boot. He also slipped two throwing discs into satchels in his belt and attached his sword to his side. "As far as Tarion knows he has to help us to pay his debts, or he dies." James said smiling. James tied a black bandana over his dark black hair which was tied in a ponytail. |
"Should you ever feel agony for the loss of your Brothers due to enemy guns, bear through it with a stern smile and let your enemy know that you will get into combat soon enough. His judgement cannot be avoided! Should your charge falter under heavy resistence, roar your devotion in His name and amount whatever strength you have left at one enemy point and crush it utterly! Let the enemy feel your pain by turning their's into agony! Should you lay beaten and dying on the field, laugh with pride for even in death our enemies will fear us, leave them with a scar that will haunt them till the time of their retribution!" - Chaplain Valorus | |

Fear, Ash thought. It has always been a powerful motivator. He shrugged as he cleaned his shortsword. It was ancient. Its curve made it look like elven craftmanship, but it hailed from the lands, where the Dragon Battalion had its roots. Ash recalled to have killed at least two hundred men with this blade. It deserved respect. It deserved to be clean. Ash nodded, satisfied with James' story. He had already donned his uniform and was sitting on the bed. The room's corners were full of webs. Ash hated spiders. "As soon as Fenix and his top lieutenants," Ash paused and added with disgust, "- the former Alpha Dragons - are dead, we will dispose of this Tarion. Let's call it that we won't make the mistakes Fenix made. We won't have loose ends!" Ash smiled. "Amen to that, Ash!" Nosaree exclaimed as he fastened his belt. |

"No trace of us shall be left." James nodded. "I will make sure of it." |

(Yes) James stood up as the sun set slowly over the sea. He checked once more he had his sword strapped to his side and his belt was secure with his throwing weapons, his straight edged dagger and his curved knife. He looked over at Ash and nodded. "Lets go." |

Ash had been playing with his blade. He smiled and sheathed it. He made sure his hood covered most of his face by the shadow it cast and nodded to Nosaree. The three cloaked Dragons exited the room and Ash locked the door. Downstairs, Ash could hear tha the inn was full and happy. Men were shouting and wolfwhistling. Some were singing. The Dragons walked down the stairs, entered the lounge full of somoke, sweaty men and cheap prostitutes. Ash nodded, smiling. The inn lived up to its name. They silently exited the inn. |

(been away) They moved through the streets, James led the way and they came to the Black Raven. James opened the door and looked across the room. Facing them was a booth and sittign at it was an elf in a black robe with the cloak down, exposing his long blonde hair. James walked to it and sat down without saying a word. "There are no more?" The elf asked sharply although there was fear in his voice. "No." James said. He held out his hand presenting Ash who would lead the conversation from now on. |

Ash tried to lock gaze with the elf, but failed to do so. The elf looked away at once. Ash finally got eye contact with Tarion and said: "Greetings. How are you feeling, master elf?" |

"I just want this all over." Tarion grumbled. |

"They are strong and widely spread, operatives are in almost every city." Tarion said his eyes glancing all around, he was so scared of these men, this place, this whole situation. |

"Every city? Of Weissland?" So fast? Ash thought. He feared that as soon as the snake's head was cut off, he would still have a large beast to handle. He was hoping Fizban had a way of helping him in the end. |

"Pretty much." They come and go as they please, they are not seen or known about. I only heard of them through some black market contacts." Tarion said. "Each operative makes and carries out the deals, as far as we know there is no leader." Tarion said. "All I can do is show you one of their operatives, but if I do, you will have to hide me for I am as good as dead as soon as I do." |

"So you have not had direct contact with the Serpent Clan yourself? You have not hired them?" Ash said this with a "do-not-lie-to-me-look". |

"No I have, this is why I am in this madness!" Tarion said his eyes wide. "There is an operative operating in this town. Thats who I am keeping an eye out for." Tarion said urgently. |

Ash sat back in his chair, thought for a moment and returned to his former position, his elbows on the table: "Would you excuse my friend and me for a moment?" With two subtle hand gestures he told Nosaree to keep a close eye on the elf, and told James to move closer. Then, in a language unknown to anyone but Nosaree and James, Ash spoke quietly: "Should we capture or spy on this operative? What do you suggest?" |

"I say spy on him, he will be ready for interrogation. Even our methods, we were trained the same way." James said calmly shrugging. |

"I agree." Ash said once again in the tounge of their homeland, far, far away. Ash turned to Tarion once again. "Where is this operative?" |
