Twas a erry eve for it twas time for the Royal Court of Luna meeting, I went and picked up the Dutchess Molly and Elf Princess from the new land bought for the Royal Court of Luna to use as there meeting place that I knew there was a good chance of trouble this eve since Molly had already been asassinated Monday Eve at her home during the H*G meeting and me being marked the next target for there assasin to kill. I Warned Molly of this and told her I would search the place when we got there, she noded in compliance and opened a gate to the Court house and I went through first, then Molly, then the Elf Princess. I entered first into the courthouse wiht Molly and the Elf Princess not far behind and immediately started searching the courthouse for intruders, twas but a moment later that out of nowhere a masked female jumped out of the shadows and stabbed me with what appeared to be a poisoned Krysis for the poison dripped onto the floor, No Faster then I had to turn around and begun to arm up did the shadowy figure disappear into the night. I Immediatly dug in my pack and applied an aid to heal what little damage was dealt to me and ordered my men to to begin a full search of the Courthouse to find the shadowy figure that had attacked me, searching the meeting room first and the first floor next finding nothing, gah I said, she escaped then out of the corner of my eye I see the door open but none come in nor leaving, I turned and ran to the door locking it and begun a second search of the first floor finding nothing. She must have managed to slip by us during the search of the courthouse first floor I said to the men, Tak rushed out side and immediatly began to search the porch area and was immediatly struck by the asassin, no quicker then I saw her attempting to strike down my Knight Errant did I rush outside to help striking her quickly with my War fork with a deadly force she struck the final blow and slay Tak and quickly attemted to flee me on foot running towards Luna City limits. I chased after her chasing her into and through most of Luna before she escaped leaving no trail of her whereabouts, quickly thinking about the Dutchess's safety I rushed back to the Courthouse to be by her side to protect her incase the assasin came back. No quicker then Should I return The guest of the Royal Courthouse started to arrive and the meeting went on its way. All was quite during the meeting, seems that the Black Dragon failed to drop there intended target, a Victory for the Light.

The night was young and Raven weighed carefully the attempt to kill her mark. They would expect me to be at their meeting tonight, she thought. But she heard that Sir Chad was going to be there. She had to go. After very little effort to find the location and the time of the meeting, Raven lay in wait inside. She even made herself comfortable behind the two Gauntlet members who, by her guess were mages. She remained inside until one decided to start casting. Judging by the words, she remembered this as the phrase for earthquake. fortunately the first attempt of the mage fizzled while Raven leaped out of the window unoticed.

Landing on her feet, She stood close to the door, knowing if she opened it, it would alarm someone. Within moments, Molly, Chad and one other apeared and allowed Raven access. She wasted no time going upstairs following Chad. It was when Chad mentioned that he'd sweep the area that made Raven strike out of impulse. Armed with her takagi, she struck at Chad from the rear. Her attempt to surprise him was a success but as she hit him over and over, She was cursing the strong artifact armor he wore as she realized she was not dealing as much damage as she had hoped. Forced to withdraw to rethink her stratagy, she used a smoke bomb. Quickly the mages began casting in the area to reveal her. Once again Raven made it down to the first floor and opened the door to leave. She hid close to the sign to catch her breath when one of the mages came down and began to cast reveal near the sign.

That action proved fatal for the mage as Raven struck without warning to protect herself. In three well placed hits, the young mage fell. But Raven could not hide before Sir Chad was on her heels. She began to run as fast as she could to the streets of Luna. A few times she'd make a quick turn, but Chad being so close, managed to cut into her a few times with his blade. Still she ran clutching her wound with her left hand. Sir Chad broke off as Raven disapeared into the night. This was a failure indeed for Raven, not only had she failed to kill her mark, she was now wounded. The death of the young mage she considers nessesary but regretful. At her place in hiding, she bandages up her right arm. She knows she will be out of action for a few days while she tries to heal.
