Ashen Order (A Tenkil universe story)
« on: January 11, 2016, 09:35:20 pm »
Oh my, this was a ride. Basically, I am rewriting a massive story that I lost a few months back in a hard drive fuckup, and I am just going to post it as I complete it this time, page by fucking page. Stars two fellows, a Conman and a Monster Hunter, all set in the Tenkil universe.
PART ONE
It was a cold and dreary Saturday morning in the city of Guart. From the Castle high to the slums surrounding the walls, a sense of slowness filled the air, as if the day was reluctant to begin. The market was practically empty save the assorted merchants willing to get up early to exploit the travelers trying to leave before the roads became to crowded. This was the prime time of day for a swindler. A swindler such as Kilian Buschhaus. He was a simple man, clad in common clothing for the city, and a long, well maintained wool long coat, for it did not do well for one not being remembered to dress purely in black leather and cloaks. He scanned the paved road leading out of the marketplace for a target. Many travelers had far to much money and far too little common sense. He noted his first mark of the day, an overweight Lizardman who had the air of one still recovering from a night of amazingly heavy drinking, what with the stumbling and unpleasant expression. "Good day fine sir" Kilian exclaimed, stepping out of the shadow of a merchant cart. The Lizard stared at him with a blank expression, before grunting out "I would not wish to speak at the moment, my head is currently suffering from a very unpleasant pain". Kilian opened his coat, showing off various bottles with fantastic names and colors. "Bartleby's Benevolent Brew should clear that right up" Kilian said, removing a red bottle from his coat, "Certified tonics from Burke itself!". The Lizard looked mildly taken aback by this last statement. "Burke. Buuurke. Hmmm. Was that country not sealed down recently on account of the Plague?" He drawled out, connecting a few dots. "Why yes good sir!" Kilian said, practically shouting, "And you must be a very smart man to no such a thing. But don't worry, This bottle was imported well before the plague hit the country". The Lizard seemed flattered at the compliment. "Well, how much would it be then? I have the most frightful headache and I direly wish to be rid of it!" The Lizard said, his speech beginning to pick up the most infinitesimal amount. "Only 17 Gilden my good sir, and surely a man of such poise and noble bearing would haven't the slightest trouble producing such money!" Kilian said, once again applying flattery. "17 Gilden? I see that as a slight overpricing!" The Lizard exclaimed, his neck frills starting to ruffle very slightly. "Ahh, but you see sir, this is the finest medicinal tonic to ever be produced for curing headaches and other such unpleasantness. At 17 Gilden you are very nearly stealing from me!" Kilian vocalized, trying to sound far more distressed than he was. "Hmmm. Could you perhaps reprice it at 15 Gilden? I will be perfectly willing to pay for it at that price" The Lizard said, looking mildly smug at what his addled mind believed was masterstroke bargaining."Ahhwww Ok, you have convinced me, I wont be eating meat tonight, but, alright." Kilian stated, looking mildly annoyed. The money and bottle changed hands, and The Lizard walked away, taking a long drink from his newly acquired tonic. Kilian chuckled to himself, before muttering "Most expensive bottle of tomato juice the bastard has ever bought."
