[Continues] Morcrux Campaign: Tale of Two Scales

[Grimoire]

[Tar'lak]
"We leave the Last Breath early before Dawn. We have to load our caravans with supplies and equipment on our way home." Draco answers, "Unfortunately, the roads between here and the republic are full of outlaws and highwaymen looking to take what we have. We're recruiting enough people to help safeguard the trail and our cargo.

If you have business to finish or you have something you need to take care of, do it now."

 

[sora21345]

"Jibril wake's from her nap she get's ready and put on her clothing and equipment then leave her room to see if were ready to leave yet

 

[Grimoire]

[Jibril]
Jibril rests, snoozing away four hours of her evening. Her mind racing to the tune of the past day, running through events that had brought her to where she is now.

Morning, she rose from her bed to meet with Silvermane and do her rounds around the Alley. Peg-Leg Manni drinks his grog early before the farmers roll out to their sharecropper fields. Jibril sits with her fellow enforcer to discuss the day and checking out their agendas. Peg-Leg Manni has been coming up short the last few days and now Ling Que is getting impatient.

"So yes, I have been having issues with a particular mark that the boss wanted taken care of." It was at this point in time that Jibril was given the task of looking into this Mark: Kor'da.

Kor'da hasn't been making his dues and Manni needs her help getting the stuff to turn out his pockets or else she's gotta take him to see the boss. Jibril accepts the job and confronts Kor'da at his shop by late morning before lunch time. There she stood outsider her shop, prior to their newly minted relationship, she plans her approach.

[How DID she confront Kor'da?]

 

[sora21345]

"Jibril walk to kor'dar with a disdain face asking where his payment at

 

[Grimoire]

[Jibril]
Jibril approached the pawn shop with her knuckles white eager for a fight. Manni stood outside the shop to keep a watch for the guards that patrol the streets.

Manni is a burly man, red tunic with a white and green kilt, big bushy beard, and missing a leg which is replaced with a large stone peg leg. Balding at the top of his head, he keeps the long hair surrounding his crown braided with knotwork. Notorious for beating people with his stony peg leg like a club, real nasty fella.

Of course, Jibril tolerates the man but he's not too keen on having a Scalie working with him. Still they work for the same boss, so they must get along. Here they quip about their Marks for the moment as Jibril scopes out the inside of the pawn shop and checking for the younglings. Kor'da is putting away a iron sword into a cabinet then approach the work counter.

"Let me know if you find anything" Kor'da answers, wiping the dust off the counter while leaning onto it for support.

Jibril: "Where's the money old man?"
Kor'da: "Who are you?"
Jibril, hissing at him: "Silvermane's enforcer, you've been giving my partner some problems and now he's got me here doing his work for him. Either you give me what we're owed or there will be trouble."

Kor'da takes a minute to assess this situation. It seems Kor'da needs more convincing.

 

[sora21345]

"Jibril grab kor'dar head and slam it into the counter where is the money for his due at!!!!

 

[Grimoire]

[Jibril]
Jibril grabs the tall Lizardman by the collar and drags him down: "where is the money for your dues at!!"

Kor'da: "I don't have it!" Jibril uses both hands to slam his face, snout and all, into the wooden countertop the pins his head with her forearm planted on the nape of his neck. She slithers her neck down to him, in a menacing grin and flicks her forked tongue at him with a hiss.

Jibril: "Well that's too bad. We're behind on collection and you've been running up too much of my partner's time. You're breaking the bank, Slaven-Claw."

Jibril turns to Manni who hung around the door way: "Do it"

Manni strolls over to a stack of crates and heaves them over grunting as he drags his leg against them with a kick, breaking them open. Manni goes to work breaking shelves and throwing everything bon the ground with no intent of stopping. Jibril removes her throwing knife and plants it against the wooden top with the top digging into it.

Jibril asks once more: We're getting impatient with you, old man."
Kor'da: "NOOOOoooo! My shop!!"

He isn't getting the picture.

 

[sora21345]

"Jibril tell's kor'dar if he doesn't pay sooner or later the boss would ask her to take his kid's for collateral payment.

 

[Grimoire]

[Jibril]
Jibril: "If you don't pay up, Mister Slaven-Claw, sooner or later the boss will want to collect more than a few coins. When that happens, he'll send both of us to collect your boys. Lord Que loves children, they make good thieves but the naughty ones he sends to the workhouse to slave away in the sweatshops making fabrics or shoveling shit in the streets with a very pissed of foreman."

As Jibril states this, Kor'da growls at her. As he watched his shop being ramshackled by Manni taking a sadistic delight in breaking valuable things. Two young lizard children run into the shop, when they enter, they're horrified to see their home being destroyed.

Kor'da sees his son's, he yells at them: "Kak'lin! Sim'one! RUN!!"

The two boys turn at the wrong moment and bump into Manni who stood in the doorway they came through. They looked up at the ginger haired looking (Scot) man and his evil glare has his sights on them. When the boys resisted Manni as he reaches for them, Jibril took her eyes off him for a brief moment.

In a fit of rage, he grabs Jibril and reels her over the counter then grabs her head and bashes it into the standing crate Sim'one uses and then vaults over the counter to tackle Manni. With a burning hate in his eyes he beats the peg leg man whom he wrestles to the ground, throwing junk and refuse at him that he could find lying around. Kak'lin and Sim'one move to the corner of the shop, Kak'lin protects his brother as they watched and cheered for their dad beating the one legged man with his fists.

 

[sora21345]

"Jibril take's two throwing dagger's and aim it at kor'dar then throws it after throwing it she takes out two more and throw it at his kids but making sure it would miss so it wont hurt them thinking that seeing his children almost getting hurt would make him stop resisting.

 

[Grimoire]

[Jibril]
Jibril throws two throwing knives at Kor'da. One deflects off his back, the other embedded itself into his left shoulder damaging him lightly. Kor'da snarls when the knife enters him, catches his attention and he turns to Jibril. When Kor'da stood up from the battered Manni bleeding from his face, Jibril aims her throwing knives at the boys. She does so with a grin then let's the blades fly!

Kor'da, gasps, the knives leaving her hands. He shouts: "You Vem!!" he lunges at Jibril by jumping the debris and clawing at her aiming for her chest. He wants her fucking heart!!

 

[sora21345]

"Jibril kick's kor'dar privates part then try to constrict his movement.

 

[Grimoire]

[Jibril]
Jibril vaults over the counter to kick Kor'da in the dick and balls ... only when she does, he goes: "oof" but it was so pathetic, he didn't feel a thing. Because his dick is snuggling inside his vent and his ball are inside his tight scalie abs.

Uh-oh

Kor'da snarls at Jibril thinking that would stun him, but it only made him angrier. When he grabs onto Jibril once again by the leg and twisting her ankle, she falls to the ground. He sweeps her leg from beneath her with his tail then steps on her stomach clenching her leg with both of his hands about to snap it off like a twig!

Kor'da hears his son Kak'lin yell: "Dad!!"
Kor'da looks to see one of the knives hit Kak'lin and the other landing in the wooden beam behind him. Kor'da looks for Sim'one but finds Manni pinning little Sim'one to the ground with his stone peg leg raised to strike the boy dead with a heavy fatal blow.

"You Put Her Down, I Bludgeon This Kid To Death!!" Manni yells with blood running down his face, "I Swear To GOD! I'll Break His Fucking Face In, You Fuck!"

Kor'da breathes heavily but he drops Jibril's leg and backed away slowly. Manni is pissed and grinding his teeth, he wants to break the boy, but Silvermane has one rule: "Killing Kids, bad for business". But this time, Manni really wants to break this rule. Silvermane and Manni always at odds about how things should be ran. An argument that didn't sit well for Manni, thinks the gang is too soft, too weak.

But what does that say about him wanting to break every rule and going too far. This wasn't what Jibril signed up for, she's been a guard. She protected people her whole life, now she's on the other side of the law. Now she's doing the law breaking.

Jibril was fed up with this life, Kor'da just happened to change that for her in so many ways. Maybe she felt guilty for what she did, or there was something she craved.

If she didn't do what she did at that moment, Sim'one wouldn't be here today.

 

[sora21345]

"Jibril warn manni that if he hurt's those kids he wont be coming back without scar or worse he wont be coming back at all.she stealthily take's out her dagger and aim carefully at him just in case he doesn't listen.

 

[Grimoire]

[Jibril]
"Manni! Put ... The Leg ... Down" Jibril says reaching for one of her throwing knives she has left. Keeping an eye on Kor'da and Manni: "You know the rules, Manni, you fuck this up: Silvermane going going to gonna rip him apart. There's not a thing stopping him from finding you if you do this"

Manni pants then looked to Jibril: "Are you kidding me? This guy just wiped the floor with us and you're siding with HIM!?"
Jibril: "MANNI!!"
Manni lowers his peg leg to the ground, out of breath: "Fuck"

Jibril knows what must happen next, she gets Kor'da's attention: "We gotta take you to the boss. You come quietly, the kids can stay here. We take a walk, what do you say? Huh?"

Kor'da removes his foot from her stomach, with a growl he begrudgingly agrees to go with them to the Silver Coin den.

After several minutes, they tie up Kor'da's hands behind him and muzzle him with rope then moved him out of the shop. The boys stayed in the shop, Sim'one tending to his brother's arm as they watched their father getting pulled out of the shop.

Manni holds the Lizardman while Jibril follows behind Kor'da. The two bicker about what happened back there.

Manni: "The hells your problem? Bringing up the boss like that."

 

[sora21345]

"Jibril rule's are rule's and am not gonna cover for you if you hurt that kid

 

[Grimoire]

[Jibril]
Jibril tells him about the rules, how Silvermane punishes his subordinates that break the rules. Too many of them tried, never been found after the Leyfon Drifters settled in Dunbar encroaching their turf. Too much bad blood was spilt after that, if that's ok with Man I he should find a new boss willing to put up with his way of thinking. At least then, Manni wouldn't have to work with her as much.

"What are ya talking about?" Manni says, "We work well. Can't sees meself working with another chump that can't hold his own. Besides, we may butt heads on occasion but you know me, I like working with Silvermane. He pays me on time and get a bit of action here. You go anywhere else it's just a pompous meet and circle jerk! I need the violence!"

"Keep this up, you'll bite off more than you can chew, Peg. I'm not gonna keep covering for you if this is how it goes down every single time." Jibril whips, "How's the face?"

Manni touches his bleeding face: "The bastard messed me up good. Nothing a bit of the good stuff and stiff drink can't fix"

Jibril notices that he had been bleeding a lot since they left, they might be infected. She tells him this: "Might need to see Cleo and get that looked at. You're bleeding on your best"

Manni looks down and sees a blotch of blood dripping, he touches face with his dusty hands. "Shit, look what the bastard did. I just bought this thing!"

Manni whips around with his fist cocked back to rail into Kor'da: "Ya scalie fuck! Look what ya done to me!" Manni hits Kor'da hard in the face earning a scolding leer at him back.

"Alright you ass, that's enough!" Jibril orders, holding back Manni, "You go. I'll get him back to Silvermane."

Manni points to Kor'da as he walks away: "I'm not done with you yet, Lizardman!"

 

[sora21345]

"Jibril tell's kor'dar this could have been avoided if he payed on time and not get his children involve

 

[Grimoire]

[Jibril]
Jibril: "This could have been avoided if you just paid us on time and not get your children involved" but she only gets a muffled response from Kor'da.

His mouth is muzzled.

[Remove the muzzle?]
[Keep the muzzle on?]

 

[sora21345]

"Jibril removed the muzzle

 

[Grimoire]

[Jibril]
Jibril attempts to remove the muzzle by cutting it with one of her retrieved knives. He pulls away when she holds the knife to him: "Relax. Hold still"

Kor'da lowers his snout to her and let's her cut his binding free and the rope slips off. He rubs his snout the cracks his snout into his shoulder, grunting from the tightness of it.

Kor'da: "What's gonna happen to me?"

[What will happen to him?]

 

[sora21345]

"Jibril don't know they might ruff you up a bit or they will take some stuff from your house to pay your due

 

[Grimoire]

[Jibril]
Jibril thinks for a moment before answering him. They walk through the Alley slowly to talk then the idea she wanted to instill in him came: "I don't know they might rough you up a bit or they will take some stuff from your house to pay your dues. Who knows"

Kor'da shakes his head: "Look I'm sorry. But you're only going to get junk and scrap from us. Nobody is buying from me, you gotta believe me, I tried!"

Jibril knows what he means: "I get that but that's not our problem. We keep you in business for Silvermane and keep the other guys from touching you. You think Redfang is willing to work with you after missing a single Pewter the first time? He'd slit your throat if you look him wrong."

She sighs to herself, obviously not how her day was going to be. So a thought occured to her. Do something to take their minds off this incident.

[Grab a bite to eat]
[Cut his bindings to make him comfortable and make him look good before Silvermane]
[Do another drop at another shop that's always had smooth collections]
[Head straight to Silvermane, forget the idea]

 

[sora21345]

"Jibril ask kor'dar if he eaten anything today if not we could get something to eat might help calm your nerve's

 

[Khorne]

Tar'Lak nodded to the dragonborn before placing his bag on his back. "Then I stall return. I have some business in the market to finish with." he says as he starts to retrace his steps to the market.

 

[Grimoire]

[Jibril]
Jibril runs the back of her head, a little put off and a bit lightheaded after having her head slammed against a crate and tosses to the ground. She imagines how he might feel about it as well considering everything. Silvermane might appreciate this guy being more calm and awake while Kor'da is being lectured on business.

"You hungry?" Jibril asks, "eaten anything today? If not, we could get something to eat might help calm your nerves."
"Sorry, I must've left my money in my other pants" Kor'da says with sarcasm as he thrusts his hips at Jibril emphasis on his loincloth.

 

[Grimoire]

(Welcome back)
[Tar'lak]
Draco is interested in this business of his: "Something to do with your tribe, I'm guessing?"

 

[sora21345]

"Jibril with a curious stare at his loincloth she thought how he isn't in pain didn't she kicked him in his private so she turn to kor'dar and ask him how come your not in pain when i hit you in the sack?

 

[Khorne]

Hearing the question Tar'Lak stops and looks over his shoulder back at the group. "Something like that." he says as he walks away and makes his way back to the market.

 

[Grimoire]

[Jibril]
Either mesmerized by his suggestive thrust or curious about how he's not as affected by the fight they just had earlier. Kor'da gives a single chuckle to her question: "how come your not in pain when i hit you in the sack?"

Kor'da laughs at her: "I'm not human. That trick might work on the soft-skins, but my kin don't buckle so easily. There are benefits of having our 'jewels' on the inside. You can try a club, that might work better like your friends had before. Your first mistake was thinking my kind are easy to push around."

He looks at her inquisitively, "Aren't your kin the same way? I've never seen your kind around here before?"
