The Craftsman 24 Assassin

Daedalus was awoken suddenly to the sound of quiet foot steps. Discreetly he looked around and out of the corner of his eye he could see a dark black shadow walking as quietly as possible towards him. Looking closer Daedalus could see a small metallic glint of a blade coming from the figures right sleeve.

Carefully Daedalus waited until the person was right behind him just about to stab him. Suddenly Daedalus kicked back with a powerful kick to the shadows stomach Knocking them unconscious.

Lighting a candle Daedalus walked over towards the person to check who they were. Removing the cloth from their face Daedalus saw that it was the same guard captain from earlier. Deciding it would be too much of a ha.s.sle Daedalus covered their face again then tied up the guard captain before walking down to the inns owner.

"Excuse me manager I have had a slight problem I would like you to take a look at in one of the rooms."

The manager said confused "Why me if it is only a slight problem?"

Daedalus heard this and sighed before saying "I say slight problem but what I mean is a stupid a.s.sa.s.sin or thief."

The manager hearing this had his eyes go wide before saying "Which room I will take them to the jail immediately!"

Daedalus then proceeded to lead the manager to his room before showing him the man in all black tied up to the wall unconscious.

"I kicked him in the stomach to incapacitate him but I may have overdone it a little." Daedalus said while scratching his head.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Daedalus and the inns manager carried the a.s.sa.s.sin towards the guard station. Entering the station Daedalus told the person behind the desk "This is an a.s.sa.s.sin that attempted to murder me in my sleep, however I may have kicked him a bit too hard."

The person behind the desk then took a statement from Daedalus and the manager before taking off the mask. When the man removed the mask he stood their shocked when he saw that it was a guard captain and stood there shocked for a moment before running over to the guard chief's office.

"Sir, one of the guard captains has been caught trying to a.s.sa.s.sinate a man who was staying in an inn. What should I do?" he said in a frantic tone.

The chief heard this and frowned before standing up and walking out to the front of the station to see what was happening. Reaching the front he started taking a look at the guard captain and then said "So could you tell me why he would attempt to a.s.sa.s.sinate you?" towards Daedalus.

"Yes, well you see yesterday when I entered the city just before I could enter I and my partner Lightning, a wolf, were stopped and then I was asked to give this ring to him in order to enter the city. I did not like that so I turned around an began to leave were he then attacked me, of which I defended my self by putting my armour on, he having seen me do that noticed that it was a s.p.a.ce ring and thus likely inferred that I was a n.o.ble of some land. So seeing as he had in his mind offended me decided to a.s.sa.s.sinate me and take the ring, where I kicked him in the stomach Knocking him out. That's all that I can remember."

The chief hearing that Daedalus had called himself a n.o.ble said "I know it may be rude but of what land are you a n.o.ble?" clearly a lot of hesitation in his voice.

"Both the dwarven and elven kingdoms!" Daedalus said without hesitation. The chief became pale and said "Ok sir I will immediately have him locked up for the rest of his life and compensate you with ten thousand gold for bringing in this criminal!"

With that Daedalus smiled and left to explore the city for information.
