Knights of Snowballia: Fallen Kingdom

Chapter II: Arrival of Lago

When the individual arrived at Gulfheim, he was immediately spotted by royal guards and was asked to state his purpose of being here. Unfortunately he ignores their command and kills them by throwing daggers into their uniforms. As he continues to walk through the town in a rainstorm, he immediately points out the town hall of Gulfheim as a mental note to himself. He sneaks into the town hall late at night and stands right at the chieftains room, waiting for him to wake up. The door shuts behind him, as he turns on one of the portable lamps and stands over the chieftain, waiting for him to move. Before he could even utter a word at what he was looking at, the individual tossed him out of his bed as he screamed in horror and locked the doors, interrogating him over whatever he knows. The chieftain tries to escape but fails as he is backed into a corner where the individual towers over him. "What are you doing in here? STATE YOUR PURPOSE!", he yells in fear as he's picked up and held up to a wall, screaming for help. His cry for protection is heard by multiple guards inside the town hall as they rush to his office, only to realize the door is locked, therefore they have to find a way to break in and defend their chief. Inside his office, the perpetrator ties him up to his chair and begins to ask him a series of questions.
"Hello chief. A pleasure to meet you at last in this lovely little city you've ran for so long... would be a shame if they lost their great leader would it?", he states.
"Who.... who....", the chief pants in fear, "WHO ARE YOU?! WHY ARE YOU HERE?"
"I am Lago Domashev.", he replies, "I come from a far away land outside of Snowballia seeking an item that I believe is located in this kingdom somewhere."
"What weapon do you seek?", the chief asks.
"I believe it's a weapon known as the Life Destroyer, last I heard it was found here washed up on your city's shoreline.", Lago responds.
"I swear, I do not know what you're talking about, please.... just LET ME G-", Lago begins to torture the chieftain with his arsenal of weapons as the guards continue to break into the room.
"I'm not going to ask this question again, WHERE IS IT?!", he yells as he begins to hit the chief brutally, "WHERE'S THE LIFE DESTROYER?!!"
"STOP! STOP!", the chief yells back as he is bleeding from his nose and mouth, "Last I heard it was washed up on an island known as Valothal, west of the mainland, I can give you directions to it if you just let m-"
Lago tortures him again, responding "That's a lie chief. I was there last week on a poaching mission and the weapon fell deep into the ocean floor. Now tell me, where is the weapon?"
"I... I.... I don't know just please, let me go!"
The guards finally unlock the door, ordering Lago to surrender as they barge in ready to defend the chief of Gulfheim. Lago laughs in pity as he knows the guards have no idea what they're up against. "You have approximately 3 seconds to flee this room, for I will be the last thing you are ever gonna see in your pathetic lives.", Lago states as the guards prepare to fire.
"Well, you asked for it.", he added as he disappeared in a puff of smoke, taking out every guard with his skillset: knivery, stealth, and brute strength for someone with a slender build. After a tense takedown, Lago returns to the chief.
"So chief, any last thought of where it is?", he asked, in which the chief was too scared to answer.
"Well then, you appear to be no use to me.", he responds as he grabs one of the guards pistols and fires a round into the chief's head, leaving him dead in his office.
The next morning, Sarah and Andrew wake up their children so that they can send them to school. They sit down and find Dairrion asleep on the futon, to which Sarah wakes him up.
"Hey, sleepyhead! I didn't get rescued by you and my husband just for you to stay on the couch and call him a 'pedophile' even though he isn't one you know."
"Sarah, you know I have issues sleeping at night, can't you just craft a sleep assistant potion or something?"
"I'm not an alchemist, just like my husband I'm a magician.", she replies.
Camryn walks into the room, notifying the three that a visitor is here to see them. The four of them allow him to come in, as he appears to have brought another individual with him. "Greetings Lord Andrew and Queen Sarah of Snowballia, my name is Noah, a traveling scout from the eastern part of the land. Just recently we found out a perpetrator from the outside has set foot on the coast of Gulfheim and has murdered the chief of the town. This incident has happened last night and has sparked major issues throughout that area. I need you two to assemble a team to gather information about the incident. I have brought two individuals here to help you two get started."
"And, what does this have to do with us you may ask?", Dairrion responds.
"Well, these two here happen to be aware of the situation at hand sir, they have much information to give you, their names are Jordan and Allison, both of them are well renowned people and should be a great addition to your... little group per se.", Noah replies and continued, "I best be going now, take care you two.", as he walked off. Allison and Jordan begin to settle in as Andrew, Sarah, and Dairrion walk aside to converse while Camryn gets to know the two.
"Ok, now I'm starting to think Sarah was right about this whole drawing attention to outsiders situation.", Andrew said.
"Oh, now you think so huh? While you and your buddy here are playing Quellsan matches I'm here concerned about who killed this chief from Gulfheim and now we're not sure what the hell is going on now that some traveler brought these two here."
"Sarah come on you're kind of overreacting right now.", Dairron responded to which she replied back
"Oh don't you talk about overreacting here, this is pandemonium we're talking about, who knows what that murderous person is doing now, hunting down people for a weapon that we discarded many years ago. Don't forget the last time we got ourselves into this damn mess, we lost our former king because of your buffoonish friend of yours deciding it'd be fun to rescue me from a demon king bent on global annihilation!"
"Well, it's not my fault you married a pedophile and let him put babies in you.", he responded back as Sarah slapped him hard enough to knock his glasses off his face.
"You must have no sense of respect do you? My husband is not a pedophile!", she retorts.
"Hey, let's all chill here and see what these two want from us. I'm pretty sure they have an idea of what we might have to go up against.", Andrew stated. The three walk back to where Camryn is and introduce themselves to the two individuals.
"Greetings fellow travelers, I am Sir Andrew, King of Snowballia, and to my left is my wife, Sarah. Our sword specialist over here is Dairrion, and you two have definitely developed a liking of our lead activist Camryn."
"It seems you two might know a little something about this impending threat so, spill the tea if you may.", Sarah added.
One of the individuals speaks up, "My name is Allison, I am a little bit shy but I can be of great use to you all, as my profession is being a medic and a combatant. It appears that you do need an actual medic too now that I think about it."
Dairrion whispers to Camryn about how she knows that and it just so happens that she is a telepath, which could prove very useful in the long run.
"Ok... how about you there?", Sarah asked Jordan, who then states that he knows very little about the threat but possesses enough talent to become a part of their ranks.
Within minutes, they go over the plan of what they need to do to find this threat, and so the groups are established: Jordan, Andrew, Allison, and Dairrion in one, Sarah, DJ, Max, and Camryn in the other. They use the power of Sarah and Andrew's magic to quickly get to Gulfheim to investigate the problem.
