It was almost evening when a duo of riders strode into the town of Erlwitz. Winter was fast approaching and you could feel the nip in the air. The villagers had harvested all that they could from their fields and stored it in the granaries, but there was still firewood to collect and livestock to attend, so the folk stayed busy. But at this time of day the Erlwitzers relaxed in the Black Sheep Inn.
Angelo and Minerva passed by barren fields, livestock pens, and small homes on their way to the tavern. The Black Sheep was located just below the hill where the baron's wooden hillfort sat at the rear of the village. The folk inside were mostly interested in discussing the day's work and having a merry time, and there weren't much trouble to be had. They were humble, honest folk. The duo were sure to draw attention when they entered.
Angelo made for a nearby stable situated near the tavern. "Feed and water the horses, boy," he'd say to the stablehand, tossing him a small bag of coins. Then turning to his partner he grinned and remarked "ready for a meal?"
The previous hunt was an easy one, and so the pay was meager compared to their usual contracts. They had been able to secure a few rations for the road, but they had been traveling for some time now and Angelo at least yearned for a proper meal. He led the way into the Black Sheep, pausing as they entered to allow the locals to study and size them up. They weren't here to cause trouble and didn't appear to be, so no one bothered to hassle them. It smelled of ale and pork throughout, and the only sound was the moderate chattering of the villagers.
He chose a booth somewhere so his back was against the wall and he could observe the goings-on of the hearth. When a wench approached he would ask for pork and ale, and then waited for his partner to order.

"I'm famished for a warm meal" Minerva strapped her coiled up whip to her hip before sitting down across from Angelo and ordering a bowl of beef stew. The two had met before but have never become close. They were there to do a job or ran into each other coincidentally. They shared pleasantries but this was the first time they were together for an extended period of time. Maybe its the hunger getting to her but he made for a nice traveling companion.
She never thought there was someone that could compete with a person of her skill until she met Angelo. The pair work together like a great cheese and wine pairing.

The wench was back shortly with the requested dishes and refreshments. Angelo drank some ale to sate his dry throat before cutting into his pork and taking a bite. It was dry and lacked succulency, but it was better than the roadside rations he had been munching on.
Angelo typically traveled, and worked, alone. It was quicker that way, and there was less to worry about when on the hunt. His previous partners 'accidentally' becoming bait was testament to that. But Minerva was different. She could handle herself, and her talents were especially helpful, so he didn't mind her company.
"What's next for you, Minerva?" he'd ask her. "Because I was thinking... I know we were only passing through for some rest, but if the innkeep has no work for us, the Baron of Erlwitz very well might. Provided he does..." Angelo was implying he'd be happy to have her along for another contract, and wanted to gauge her interest in the prospect.

"I don't mind, I've been a little sort on money these days." In addition to hunting, Minerva also kept some exotic pets back home and boy did they cost quite a bit to take care of but none the less she still loves them. "I haven't met the Baron of Erlwitz yet so this would be a treat though I suppose I should've worn something a little nicer if we are meeting him."

Angelo chuckled lightly when Minerva mentioned her apparel. "We're travelers and we look the part," he tried to assure her. "Baron'll know our business soon as he sees us." He cast a glance towards the innkeeper. "But we'll see what the innkeep has to say first," he'd finish, waving the man over.
"Name's Angelo," he introduced himself, then motioned across the booth, "and this is Minerva. We've been on the road for some time and were passing through, looking for rest and respite."
The innkeeper put his arms on his hips and grinned, "reckon ye found it then aye? 'ow's the pork n' stew?"
"Oh, it's good," Angelo assured the man. "But we were wondering... if there was any work being offered around here."
The innkeep bit his lip then scratched his head in contemplation. "Mmm, still low on firewood... sheep could do wit some grazin'." Angelo sighed and placed a hand on his zweihander, leaned up against the wall next to the booth. The innkeep nodded, understanding that he and Minerva were looking for more... action-oriented work. He looked around at the other patrons then leaned closer:
"Aye, they's been a problem as late. First the sheep goes-a-missin', then the cows... now the folk's is vanishin'. Course the Baron thinks it's ol Wilton, 'as 'im locked up in the fort and been that way for a week now. But there still be a vanishin' here and there, and terrible howls in the night, so we knows it's not Wilton. If ye 'ad a heart ye would let Wilton out of that cage. Folk 'ere don't 'ave much, but I can spread the word and the folk'll pitch in. Just don't go a-tellin' the baron and thems, ye hear?"
Angelo looked across the table to Minerva to see what she thought of this situation.

she nods as the innkeeper explains the situation "it seems like these things got a taste of bigger pray. We'll handle the situation for you." Seems like this time it might be something that'll put up a good fight.
She finishes the last bits of her stew wiping her mouth on a spare napkin. She turns her attention to Angelo. "It seems that maybe whatever this thing is prefers coming out at night. Everything that vanishes happens after sundown."

The innkeeper was called away by another patron. "'xcuse me," he said before moving on.
Angelo held his hands up "you're probably right," he agreed. "But I think we should seek more information from the Baron and the one they call Wilton. They could reveal something of value to us. But," he shrugged, "if you're itching to get started now, we could begin the hunt right away."
Angelo would let Minerva decide the path they would take. The duo could wait until nightfall and slay the beast, or they could track it through the woods right away. Alternatively they might take a more diplomatic route and seek out additional information - and reward - from the Baron and Wilton.

"I think we should go talk to the Baron and sees what he says about the disappearance but also we need to keep in mind the innkeeper's words and be careful of what we tell the Baron." As much as she would just want to sink a dagger into the beast it'll be unwise to hunt something down without at least some information first.

Angelo breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "agreed. Ready when you are."
Once both hunters had finished their respective meals they made their way to the hillfort. Angelo glanced over at the stable to ensure their mounts were still accounted for and, satisfied, led the way. The Baron's hillfort was really a stone complex that housed himself and his family, with a smithy, barracks, and training yard scattered around it. A tall palisade surrounded the stronghold and a single gate served to permit entry.
"Halt!" demanded one of the guards. Like his associate nearby, he donned a simple helmet and mail, covered by a tabard. They both carried swords on their belts, but wielded spears while on duty. "State your business, peasants," he requested harshly.
Angelo resisted the urge to tell the man off and replied "not peasants. Just looking for work, heard you have a problem with some beast-run-afoul?"
The guards studied Angelo and Minerva. They weren't as dumb as they looked and deduced from their attire and weaponry they were mercenaries. "Gould, take'em up to the stronghold, I'll stay and watch the gate." Gould motioned for the two to follow and they proceeded into the complex and towards the Baron's home.
To their right a cage was suspended in the air and a naked man, shivering in winter's grasp, spied them from his forsaken imprisonment. "Oi! Strangers!" he began to cry out, "ye must help-"
"Quiet you!" roared a guard, banging his spear against the iron bars. The fellow must have been Wilton. He had been stripped of his clothes, and his unkempt hair and unshaven beard implied he had been locked up for more than a few days now.
"Ignore'im," Gould ordered, finally bringing them before the stronghold. He gave three loud raps and before long another guard spied the trio from a peephole. Another few seconds went by and the door swung ajar.
Within was a large hall, furnished with wooden benches, tables, chairs, and rugs. A nobleman sat in a cushioned chair on the left side of the room, sipping a bottle of wine. He had a neatly shaven face and his brown hair was pulled backwards into a knot, and his bright blue eyes shone at the proximity of the fire. Gould returned to his post, while the Baron motioned waved the visitors over to him.
"My man mentioned a couple of strangers who looked your sort," he announced. "I... am Baron Stratovich, lord of Erlwitz. Pray tell why a ragged duo of brigands dare share a drink with the locals before consulting with me."

Minerva studied Baron Stratovich and came to the conclusion that she didn't like him she did however like the look of that chair. She dismisses the thought before acknowledging the Baron. "Lord Stratovich" Minerva bows her head. "we are terribly sorry for the rudeness we may have expressed by dining with the locals. We were only looking for food and have decided to come to you looking for any jobs that may need tending to"
Minerva read people easily and knew what things to say to please them. It's easy reading those that think they are in control of everything.

Minerva pleased the Baron with her response and it would make the coming conversation a lot easier for everyone involved. "And so you are?" he replied eagerly to her request for a job. He indeed had a task, and Angelo and Minerva certainly looked capable of handling it. His own men were lazy, incompetent, or just plain scared to accomplish the task on their own. Not to mention he couldn't afford to lose the dolts lest he lose his power.
"Well as it happens, I do have a job for the two of you." He took another sip of his wine and then offered it to his guests. Angelo shrugged and partook, offering the bottle to Minerva afterwards. It was strawberry flavored, and of a quality not reminiscent of a small town like Erlwitz; certainly a step up form the pis-poor ale offered at the Black Sheep.
"You might have spied our very own Wilton on your way in," he began. "Do not be fooled, for he is not as he seems. Well, actually," the Baron shrugged, "I still haven't figured that out yet. First the livestock began to vanish, and guessing it was the work of wolves, I sent a patrol out, but they never returned. Then a villager goes missing one night, and two more the next. The peasants demand I do something, so I station sentries on the outskirts.
"Next morning they tell me that three men wander into the forest in the black of night. Idiots were too frightened to follow them or order them back into their homes, but come morning only one of the three returned: Wilton."
The Baron stood up and cleared his throat, then began pacing back and forth in front of the fire place. "Now I don't know if Wilton has anything to do with these... disappearances. But he must know something, yet he refuses to speak of the subject. That's why I have him locked up in the courtyard... and it is where he shall hang until he finds his tongue. Of course, villagers keep disappearing every other night or so and the people demand I do something about it."
The Baron finally turned on his heel and grinned at his guests. "Someone... or something is in the woods and the villagers will not leave me alone until the matter is resolved. Slay the damn beast and I will compensate you kindly."

Minerva takes the wine and has a small sip of it before handing it back to the Baron. "Do not worry, we will find whatever has been making your townspeople disappear and make sure it never happens again. Do you know what parts of the wood that Wilton was found when he returned? If you'd like we could also question him, I don't mean to discredit your men but I have a way of getting prisoners to spill information." she smiles briefly at the Baron awaiting his answer.

"My men reported seeing him return from the south road," the Baron answered Minerva, "so I presume he was dallying about in those parts." He then stroked the area where his beard would be, contemplating the woman's prospect of questioning Wilton. He didn't have any reason not to mistrust the two and ultimately deduced that this would be okay. "Very well..."
He led the duo back outside and into the courtyard, where the sky was beginning to darken. They were escorted to the suspended cage where a single guard watched over the imprisoned Wilton. The poor man was shivering in the cold temperatures, and he did his best to stay warm by curdling up in a ball against the iron bars.
"Wilton!" barked the Baron, simultaneously waving off the guard. "I have brought you some friends!" he teased.
"M-m-m-mercy milord! Please! You have to understand - it weren't me! I-I-I swear!"
"Oh, hush you," Stratovich was not the least concerned about the state of his prisoner's health. "Now be a good lad and hear what they have to say!" The Baron then motioned Minerva to the suspended cage. She would be able to smell feces and urine in the area, and no doubt had to wave off the flies and gnats that swarmed the droppings below the cage.
"W-w-w-what do you want!?" he sobbed.

Minerva walked around the cage examining it and the person inside. "Hello Wilton. My name is Minerva, do not fear. I am not here to hurt you. We wish to ask you a few questions." Minerva stops in front of Wilton their eyes meeting. She uncoils her whip and flicks her wrist letting the whip cut through the air with a sharp sound. "it would be in your best interest to answer my questions. The way Minerva has gone about talking with Wilton has distracted the Baron. Minerva smiles at Angelo signaling to him before smiling at the Baron her whip lashing out again this time wrapping around the Barons wrists. She quickly rushes to the Baron before he could react, putting a lightly soaked chloroform rag over his mouth and nose. She jabs a pressure point in the Baron's neck causing him to stop struggling but still keeping him alive. He eventaully faints givine Minerva an opportunity to snag a set of keys from the Baron's belt.

Wilton shook like autumn leaves in a brisk wind. The prisoner had no idea who Minerva was, and her mannerisms intimidated him. But to his surprise, and Angelo's too, her weapon snaked out to the Baron. Stratovich, distracted first then alarmed, was only able to say "what the!?" before passing out from Minerva's bold attack.
Angelo was frozen, just as shocked as the Baron had been. ""Minerva!" he exclaimed in a hushed manner, "I hope you know what you're doing!" He raised his right hand above his left shoulder and gripped the hilt of his zweihander, looking back and forth to make sure no one was looking. Fortunately, it was late and the majority of the guards were drinking themselves into a slumber within the barracks. Only Gould and his partner stood sentry at the entrance of the hillfort, but there attention was diverted to the goings-on outside the stronghold, not inside. The Baron's Man was standing watch within Stratovich's keep. The man previously watching Wilton was relieving himself in an alley somewhere, and probably wouldn't return until he saw the Baron and his guests leave the cage area.

Minerva shrugs off Angelo's shocks. She unlocks the cage for Wilton then looks at the Baron. "I'm going to go distracts the guards up there. So this may be a little difficult but I'm sure we can pull this off."
Minerva approaches the guard by the door and strikes up a conversation. "It seems like my partner is going to take a crack at the prison. I thought I'd come and keep you company" She stumbles slightly into the guard. "oh my I'm sorry it seems I've had a little much to drink today. You know now that I'm actually looking at you, you have quite the pretty face." Minerva flirts with the guard, his attention on her. Hopefully, this is good enough for them to escape as well as them to find somewhere to keep the Baron.

Angelo had no choice but to follow through with Minerva's plan. She unlocked Wilton and then went to distract the Baron's Man. Angelo meanwhile told the prisoner to keep his head down, then pulled the Baron somewhere out of sight. He hoped Stratovich would forget what had happened, but it wouldn't take long to put two-and-two together and figure out who had disgraced him.
Minerva was making progress with the Baron's Man. "Heh," he responded sheepishly, "I think we all have a little too much to drink 'round here." He then cleared his throat at her compliment, "oh, well, uh, ahem, yes, thank you, er, milady..."
With the Baron stashed away in an unceremonious manner, Angelo led Wilton towards the hillfort's entrance. "Stick close, and keep quiet," he warned him. He took a piece of wood and crept up behind the two sentries. Thwack! The wood splintered across Gould's head and dazed him. His partner had little time to react before Angelo grabbed him in a chokehold, eventually forcing him to pass out. His body fell limp and Costello dragged him out of sight. Gould, who was starting to regain his bearings, found Angelo's shin crashing into his nose, knocking him unconscious. He was promptly dragged out of sight, but Costello looted his cloak and urged Wilton to cover his valuables.
Angelo and Wilton were now able to creep towards safety and they both hoped Minerva was handling herself as well as they had. "T-t-thank you, m-m-mister!" Wilton clammered. "But I-I-I must s-s-see her!" He started to trot off into the village, and Angelo lashed out and grabbed him by the shoulders. The two waited for Minerva to appear.

Minerva
Established
Roleplay posts: 44
Age: 26
Physical Description: They call her the queen of beasts for she has hunted everything and anything that she has her sights on. She relies on her swift movements and her sharp whip. There is nothing that she can't takedown. She stands just short of 5'6 but her attitude makes up for her height. Her hair cut short to avoid getting caught.
Clothes and Equipment: She often wears a silk dress with a pair of cloth shorts underneath to avoid revealing anything for wanting a peek. She adorns her dress with furs and parts of other animals acting as a sort of trophy.

Minerva after seeing her companions skip away plants a kiss on the guard's lips before swiftly knocking him out with an elbow to the face. She quietly grabs the bottle of wine the Baron shared with them before coming out and dumping some of the contents on the two and leaving the bottle to make it seem as if they passed out from drinking too much. Minerva walks to the front where she sees Angelo waiting for her. "see I told you I have it figured out." Minerva rubs her hands together.

Not unlike his liege, the guard was just as distracted by Minerva and suffered a similar attack. Both of them were doused with the strawberry wine. A skeptical ploy, but it was better than nothing.
Angelo was wide-eyed at Minerva and could only respond with "well I guess so!" Wilton tried to lurch away again, but the powerful Costello kept him in place. "Damn fool keeps trying to skitter away!" he told her, annoyed. "Keeps going on about some 'girl'." He scratched his chin; something was off about Wilton, and he seemed drawn to something beyond the town. He could very well lead the duo into the forest if Minerva was ready to hunt for the creature.

"well let's see where Wilton wishes to go" Minerva readies her whip. "Wilton, will you let us come with you to wherever you are wanting to go?" Minerva asks her demeaning changing drastically from the intimidating figure to a kind-hearted individual.
