It had been so long since Shaa had seen Athena’s face he was having a hard time placing exactly when it was. Had it been a year already, maybe two? He had chased down so many leads, fought so many fights, filled in so many request forms, it was all just a big blur to him now. Would she even recognize the changes in the world? What she must have been through.
They would have plenty of time to chew the fat and catch up when he got her back. And he would get her back. Now that he was so close, there was nothing that was going to stop him from getting her back. Not even those wack job bandit wannabes the Clasp. The Clasp. What a dumb name for bandits. Sounded more like something you needed to take medicine for. Having a dumb name was just one more reason on a giant list of reasons for beating these guys senseless. So many reasons.
The big Minotaur stood up and finished packing the rest of his gear into his bag of the infinite. He was taking everything with him for the raid. Despite his low opinion of the group, he knew enough now about their leader not to underestimate him. He didn’t want to say it out loud, but, no matter what, only one of them was walking away from this alive. As a matter of fact, this was one of those missions that they would take no prisoners. They were much too dangerous and radical to leave running around by themselves. He would make sure that Javian and his ilk could never come after the guild again. Of course the crowd would never openly approve of an extermination but he didn’t think anyone would say anything. Not after all they had done. If all went well, it would be his final act as the interim guild master.
With his gear packed, he spoke to the group of guildees who had gathered for the operation. Ok you ugly goat sniffers. This is the final push. We killed the giant generals Several guild members started to hoot and cheer. Yeah yeah shut up. Despite killing them, there are several more small groups still en route to the Guild. Most of us will need to leave here today to head them off in time. With their army still being spread out, this will be our best chance to hit their base directly and get “ You know who” back. Several members started grumbling and nodding their heads. I know you all want to go but that’s the way we all win. I’m going to take one..maybe two others with me and we are going to do this thing. You all have trusted me this far, I am asking you to trust me one last time. It’s the right call. Several men and women raised their hands to volunteer to go with them. But who to choose. Shaa smiles and sees a familiar and trusted face towards the back.
Quest Name: The Final Clasp Participants: Two or more Location: Moonglade (Shadewood) Post Requirements: 10 posts per person, 250 words per post Description: The time to confront Javian has come! His bandit headquarters has been discovered deep in the Shadewood and we believe Athena is being held captive there. This is what the guild has been working towards for more than a year! We need to assault the camp, remove obstacles, defeat Javian, and recover Athena!
The compound is a large series of wooden buildings and tents tucked deep into the forest, surrounded by wooden walls that are constantly guarded. Three bandits patrol the entirety of the camp, with Javian and Athena believed to be somewhere inside. The moment you make yourself known Javian is sure to poke his head out. In order to be successful and ensure the Clasp do not rise to power again, all bandits found at the camp are to be killed, including Javian.
Special Requirements: - Javian must die by the end of the topic, but how he does is up to you - Athena is recovered alive, but badly injured - The camp and all who live/work there must be disposed of

Sarne listened to Shaa speech he had come a long way from the last time he had seen Shaa. Not changing much he is just shy of 8 feet tall. Weighing about 600 pounds of muscle. Shaa's typical bull head of a Minotaur with brown and black fur coat covering most of his body. His horns stood high in the air from his head. What was new to Sarne His horns had runes carved into them. He could not miss the soft green glow the runes had when the light was not on him. Shaa had grown into quite the leader in the guild and his reputation was legendary. Sarne could not feel left out most of the people he had known before his disappearance were now powerhouses in Charon. Sarne knew his reputation was building fast and answering the call now would help that. This opportunity would also help make contacts for him in the guild which would help him when he was Duke of Gray Rock. sarne saw Shaa looking over the crowd for volunteers. Sarne purposely stepped forward out of the crowd to stand out. "Outstanding Shaa, informative briefing, I stand with you and Join you on your quest." announced Sarne with a sly grin. Sarne did not see why to raise a hand this was not a class these were seasoned veterans they all should have stepped forward thought Sarne.
With Sarne's equipment ready all he needed was Shaa to answer yes. Not that Sarne douted Shaa would not pick him. Sarne's persona of confidence and experience would catch Shaa's eye. Sarne was sure he had the skill needed in Shaa's quest.

While everyone gathered to hear from Shaa, there was one fighter who didn't. Not out of any disrespect, in fact all things considered he was probably the person who respected Shaa the most, but Gerhart was very distractable.
"Come, 1, 2, jab, 1, 2, cross." He laughs as he pretend boxes with Thoman, the dog bobbing and weaving in time with him. The dog even throws a few paw punches of his own. It would be a kind of funny display if not for the seriousness of the discussion.
He knew what, or more importantly who, Shaa was after and how much it meant to the minotaur. Gerhart never asked after the guild leader too much, no sense poking at fresh wounds, but from what he had gathered she meant a lot to him. Which meant she meant a lot to Gerhart, so he didn't even stop and think about a selection process.
Gerhart pops up with his bright smile as Shaa wraps up and pushes to the front with Thoman following behind.
"When are we hittin the road Shaa? I can call Hal if you think it's gonna be a long trip, should be able to cut down on time pretty well with him."
For all the people staring daggers into the back of the young rangers head, he didn't seem to care. On the one hand, he didn't get the whole selection process. If you wanted to go, then let's just go right? Why wait around to be told to do something? On the other hand, he would save Shaa the trouble of having to worry about picking. The minotaur has enough on his plate, so he could take something off of it.

Shaa listened carefully after several guild members put their hands and voices in the air, all wanting opportunities to free their beloved guild leader. He furrows his brow and makes the decision. Yeah yeah, I know you all want to go but I promise, there is going to be plenty of butt kicking to go around. As for who’s going with me, I have my picks. I’m taking Sarne…mostly because this guy goes missing so much, now that he’s here, I don’t need to go looking for two missing people. The crowd half grumbles and laughs at the joke. The truth was Shaa knew that Sarne was a capable fighter even back in the day. He was curious to see how much he had grown with his own eyes. He himself had changed a lot since that incident with the missing oracle.
And I’m also taking Gerhart because apparently he’s coming whether I pick him or not. As for the rest of you, go see your squad leaders for your assignments. As always, be safe, be smart, be alive. We’ll see you all back at the guild hall for party when it’s all done. Several more members grumbled and others cheered while they split up to pick up their final assignments. Shaa himself had a couple last minute instructions for the squad leaders and then everyone was ready to go. He waves Gerhart and Sarne over for a bit of preplanning. He waits till most of the others have left to start.
Hey guys. Thanks for volunteering. Sarne, been a minute. Glad to see you are still alive if not a bit more harrowed. Gerhart, buddy. Shaa offers him a fist bump. Ok, before we get going, I want to make sure that both of you guys know what you are in for. If you want to back out, now is the time to do it. Shaa takes a deep breath. It’s not public knowledge but, to the best of our abilities and intelligence, as of yesterday, there are two things we know for sure. One, Athena is still alive although her condition is ….unclear. She’s been a prisoner for a long time, who knows what…. Anyway, she is alive and that’s all that matters. Two. Javian, their mysterious leader, is the one with her. So we have two things that we are doing. 1 Rescuing Athena. 2 We are taking out Javian and anyone else there in that camp. No prisoners. They all get wiped out. The Minotaur gives them an uncharacteristically stern look. I want to be really clear here. These guys are no push overs and it will either be us or them. You make sure it’s them, no hesitation.
Shaa thought back to a report he hit a couple weeks back. One of their scouting groups had come back. Actually only one of the group came back. To tell them of the gruesome death of their companions who had been flayed alive at the hands of the Clasps more capable deviants. He could still see the pale look in the scouts eyes as he told the tale. THATS when Shaa really knew who he was dealing with.
We are all getting out of this and going home. If you’re ready and committed, it’s time to bring her back

Sarne was glad to see Shaa to it had been a long time. they did run in the same circles per se at the Fighters Guild. Only by name did he know Gerhart a capable fighter and friend to Shaa as well everyone there at the Guild knew their names.
Gerhart was almost as tall as Sarne and had almost the same build Gerhart was not as broad-shouldered as Sarne. He had unkempt brown hair that reached the center of his neck. Gerhart's eyes were of a dull emerald green. Three claw marks and scars running along his right cheek could be seen. Gerhart's clothes and armor did not look to be in great shape but maybe manageable.
Sarne looked over to Gerhart "Nice to meet you Gerhart, another legend in the guild. I am fortunate to be with you both. I look forward to fighting at your side on this little quest," said Sarne with a slight bow to them both. Looking back up at the Shaa 8-foot tall, 600-pound Minotaur. "Now who are we taking down?" Sarne said in a sarcastic tone. Joking like he did not know. Athena, Sane knew who that was. Sarne does not remember if he ever met her.
After listening to Shaa intently to his briefing after a few sturn stirs at Sarne Shaa being the leader of this quest Sarne knew he had to be that way. Shaa mentioned backing out Sarne chuckled. "Like hell" slips from him. when all was said and done. Sarne looked at Shaa "I was worried that you would have said something that might be hard." said Sarne with a sly smile in a joking tone. "So when do we leave? I normally travel on Screech my Terror Bird. Unless you guys have other ideas." mentioned Sarne.

"Legend? heh, you're talking to the wrong people then." Gerhart chuckled, never really one to keep track of his own accomplishments. Did people really think that of him? Weird, he was just some dumb kid. Maybe there was something impressive in there, but Gerhart couldn't name anything.
"Don't worry Shaa, that's why I'm bringing Thoman!" He grins and holds the large dog up like its a puppy. "We got healing on standby for Athena with these paws."
"Doctor Thoman on duty!" The dog wags his tail as he is set down.
Stern look or not, Gerhart was going to remain his goofy little self until forced to be otherwise. The ranger set his hands on the pommels of his swords. He certainly had the confidence to carry him into this fight, the real question would be if it would carry him out of it. He'd been lucky enough not to die so far, what's another fight?
As soon as Shaa mentioned leaving, Gerhart was out the door letting out a sharp whistle. A loud caw cracked the sky as Halcyon's shadow loomed above them and got closer. Gerhart took a few steps ahead before suddenly taking to the sky, jumping off pads of air[1] to land in the saddle as Hal swoops by.
"Hop on Shaa unless you got some other super cool magic to fly that I don't know about." Gerhart brings Halcyon down to land so that Thoman can climb up into his doggy side saddle.

Shaa laughed to himself as he considered the travel options. In truth, Shaa had actually learned several ways to fly over the last year. He could summon a personal cloud to take him. He could grow dragons wings and fly there on personal power. But, this was no time to be flashy. What he really needed to do was save as much energy as he could for the fight ahead. Shaa had won more than one fight in the pits against opponents who were busy showing off but ended up gassing out when it really mattered. He had exercised a lot of patience getting to this point and it was about to pay off.
Looks like we have lots of ways to get there but we need to be smart about this. Gerhart, can the bird hold all three of us? If not, I’ll go with you and Sarne can go on his bird. What we will do is go in low and come in at the back of the camp. That’s where we will start to get to work. Remember, no prisoners.
He could feel a pit start to form in the bottom of his stomachs. Not from nerves, but from anticipation of what they were about to do. Javian was no fool. Whatever was waiting for them in that camp was going to be nasty. There is no way he would leave himself unprotected while his army was on the march. If he was that kind of leader, then he would be right out there marching with them. But instead, he is hunkered down in camp like a blood sucking tick. But he was no coward. Everyone they met was afraid of him, to even say his name out loud. You don’t get that kind of rep without something to back it up.
Shaa settles in. K you guys ready to go? No time to waste.

Walking out Sarne gave his whistle there was a sound of powerful flapping sounds as the Terror Bird came into view it was a large 40' wing span Its wingspan is massive with a strong, leathery membrane which gives it its capability to fly. That could match any Drake or Thunder Crested Roc. Sitting the Terror Bird it was 15 feet tall and weight like a small horse. Its hide was colored in earth tones and thick. its mouth had rows of sharp teeth. It gave the familiar scream for the Terror Bird as it landed.
Sarne walked up to the Terror Bird eyed Sarne and then pushed him with its nose. Making a few squeaky noises. Sarne smiled "Ya, ya" commented Sarne as he climbed onto the saddle. It was a sleek design almost like he was laying down on it. He pulled something out that looked to be a piece of meat and threw it in front of Screech. There was a loud snap noise as the Terror Bird caught the meat in the air and quickly swallowed it.
Sarne patted the Terror Bird on the side of the neck. "Never flew with a Thunder Crested Roc before are they fast?" asked Sarne with a confident grin. "Hip hip!" shouted Sarne as the large Terror Bird lifted off the ground. Sarne knew their takeoff was not fast. When they got into the Air few things could keep up with them. Sarne would follow the other two on the Crested Roc flaying in some formation or what they told him to do.

"Only one way to find out!" Gerhart grinned at Sarne's question about speed as Halcyon took off into the air. With the added weight of Shaa, he was slowed a bit, but the bird was still pretty fast.
It wasn't too long before the group was coming up on the intended target. While still a grinning kid, Gerhart was switching into job mode. He had to show up big for Shaa in this moment, he wasn't going to ruin this chance at saving Athena by making Shaa worry about him.
He pulls Halcyon into a dive to make their way towards the ground. There isn't much of a clearing, but enough space for the two mounts to land. Gerhart unclips Thoman from his saddle and hops down.
"Sorry bud, you gotta stay here I don't think you'll fit inside." He grins and scritches Halcyon's feathers while Shaa disembarks. He looks between the two with a confident expression.
"Shall we? I don't imagine we are sneaking around, kinda figure this is a kick in the door and their faces, ask questions later type of thing." He rests his hands on his sword pommels ready to go.
This might have been the first time in a bit Gerhart was a bit nervous heading into a fight. Monsters and beasts are one thing, but this guy had a record of not being easy to take down. There was no going back though, they were here and it was time to rock. Gerhart waits for Shaa's confirmation before heading towards the camp.

As the three disembark and check the area, they make some last minute decisions on their approach. After some checking and based on their reports, Shaa knew what they needed to do.
Yeah man, I think the chances of them not knowing that someone is coming is pretty slim. These guys are way too informed to think we will catch them by surprise. It was a sad truth, but the other reason Shaa chose who he did was because he trusted these guys. He knew Gerhart super well and Sarne hadn’t been around enough to be providing the kind of information the Clasp had been getting. Considering the all together too many operations the clasp had been able to pull off under there nose, the chance that there was a spy in the guild was high, but it wasn’t them. And he didn’t need anyone like that on a mission so important.
They started walking towards the camp and he puts his hand up for a moment. He places his hand on the ground and stretches his senses out to their limits. It’s pretty empty but there are still several people here. Kind of all over. No real concentration to pick out where anyone would be. What the… Suddenly, Shaa can feel something that definitely was not in the intelligence but explained a lot. Come on, this way. They walked out a bit until they reach some crude barricades behind which is the entrance to a large tunnel. This is how they have been hiding their numbers. There are tunnels everywhere. She might not be up here at all. The Minotaur holds his head trying to stem the tide of the massive headache coming on.
Look, this is probably their escape route. But….that’s not happening today. I’m going down into the tunnels and collapse all of the exits. Chances are I’ll run into one or two of those guards while I’m at it. I need you two to stay up here and start checking out the tents buildings to figure out which one of them is holding Athena. As soon as I am done down below, I’ll come back up and help you look. It should take me about 30 minutes then I’ll meet you in the middle. I’ll leave it up to you all how you want to split up your search up here.
Shaa looks at Gerhart, reaches into his pouch and pulls out an odd set of dice and a strange feather. He hands it over to the young fighter and smiles. Watch your head kiddo. Remember, we are playing for keeps. Use this feather sooner rather than later by tossing it in the air. His name is Petey. He will help you look. Looking over at Sarne, he nods. That goes for you too and me for that matter. This is where it starts.

Sarne said nothing and just gave a nod to Shaa. Sarne knew the best way to look for someone was to split up there was not a lot of anything around. Sarne knew stealthily he would be best alone. There was plenty of shadows with building and trees everywhere. Working on his camouflage Sarne blackened his face and concealed anything shiny. Sarne had wrapped himself with his cloak and readied his sword shield, and other equipment for his task. [1]Sarne watched Shaa go and start his move for the caves. Sarne knew it was time. "Gerhart go right I will go left," said Sarne with a crafty grin. Not waiting on an answer from Gerhart. [2] Sarne stepped into the shadows of the trees they were near and vanished from the site. There was no sound from Sarne it seemed Sarne just vanished. Sarne moved from shadow to shadow but still kept an eye on Gerhart when he could. He slowed his movement as he got close to a building it was like a small barracks or store house Sarne was not sure. Peeking around a corner Sarne saw one man sitting on a barrel. Sarne waited to see if anyone else was nearby. it was quiet no one seemed to know Sarne was there. The man looked half awake looking up at the sky. He had a sword in his hand that had seen better days and padded armor chest peace that was in the same condition. Sarne looked through a nearby window there was no movement in the building. It was one big room with some supplies not Sarne did not see anyone in it. Sarane got into to position to take the guard out. Sarne readied himself for the ambush he was about to perform this would be quick though Sarne the guard would not even suffer.

"Ooh someone's fancy." He chuckles to himself watching Sarne go for the stealthy route. Gerhart waits a few moments for him to get set and start moving before he did anything himself.
Gerhart gives a look to the cave system as he takes the feather from Shaa, looking at it a moment before tucking it into a pocket. That will be helpful later. He takes a quick sniff as something caught his attention.
"It's faint, but I can smell blood in there Shaa...They're probably holding her pretty deep..That or its a completely different hostage...Just don't do anything I wouldn't do all right?" He grins and gives a playful punch to the minotaur's shoulder before heading off to take care of his third of the plan.
Gerhart took a light jog to catch back up, taking a quick look around the area. The camp was pretty makeshift, but there were some more solid structures along with the tents. As he moves in, he spots the first concern a guard on top of a roof.
He clicks at something at his hips before a pair of wires shoot out and latch onto the railing of the roof.[1] The ranger is suddenly moving through the air at considerable speed. Before the guard can fully catch on to what is happening, a lone huh escaping his mouth, Gerhart is hitting him in the head with the pommel of his sword.[2]
With the guard out cold Gerhart starts to drag him out of sight, "Ginma's fuzzy horse ass, when did bandits get so heavy?"

With their plan in place and the clock ticking, Shaa quickly made his way into the tunnel. He was a bit surprised that no one was even attempting to guard the entrance l it could be because their forces had already left or maybe…they wanted trespassers to come down. If it was the latter, he would be walking right into a trap. There was only one way to know for sure.
Despite the depth of the tunnel, he actually felt very comfortable. His own home was an underground labyrinth so running around underground didn’t bother him at all. He was practically on home turf. Soon enough, he comes to the first room where more tunnels branch off. Turning and touching the wall, he uses a spell to cause a tremor in the wall collapsing the tunnel he had just come from. One down. He says to himself. Reaching out again, he finally finds two figures in the tunnel to the right. Dusting himself off a bit from the detritus, he makes his way towards the beings.
Entering the room, he is disappointed to find that neither of the beings are prisoners but a man and woman wearing multicolored jester attire. As he steps in they speak to him in unison. WELCOME! Look here Hector. Says the woman. She is short blond hair that looks fake or colored. She is also wearing a mask with a permanent smile on its face, with a rapier on her right side. You said no one would come down into the tunnels, but look. We have a special guest on our hands. I believe you are right my dear Marta. Quips the man. The man is at least 2 feet taller than the woman and quite a bit heavier. He is brandishing a large pike with an eagles head that looks worn and functional. If I’m not mistaken, you are Shaa Rhunn, the leader himself right? I saw you fight in the Gazablaak fight pits once. Tore an Orcs arm clean off. Something to be seen my dear. Ohhhh she cooed. Gooey.
Marta runs around the cave lighting the remaining torches in the room. Look look, so much better now right. You know it can get pretty dark down here. But why are you here dear sir so far from Orc mauling? The man rolls his eyes. Dont be dense. They are here for Ms Athena my dear. The woman acts sadly. What? My plaything? You came to steal my plaything? But I would miss her so. She’s so…durable. The woman laughs wickedly. But I suppose, she is mostly broken anyway for a living thing. Like a sea slug, with missing bones. The woman cackles. Yes yes, the boneless wonder, we can’t possibly let her go.
So.she’s down here? Shaa asks carefully. Well..ahhhh tricky tricky Minotaur. Look at that Marta. I heard that about this guy. He’s a sneaky one. Bad Minotaur. Bad bad Minotaur. But he’s so curious! Indeed my dear. And you know what happens to curious things? Marta makes a squishy noise as she mimics hanging herself by the neck. Correct. On the other hand, he did come all the way down here to help us relieve our abject boredom. Suffocation! Hector starts to circle the room as does Marta in the opposite direction. So perhaps we should help him? Marta gasps dramatically and covers her mouth in mock shock. Help the enemy? You jest? Maybe? A wager! A game? Oh how I love a good game! Indeed my dear.
Hector pulls out a piece of paper with some sort of drawing and ties it with a red bow. There now, see. Isn’t that fair! What? Love, you forgot to explain the game again. Marta says disapprovingly. Hector gets an odd look on his face like he just realized something important. Yes indeed! How silly of me. Ahem. This, is a map of the compound. I have taken the liberty of circling the location of the guild master for you. Aren’t I so nice? The best darling, the tippity top. The man stops moving to take a bow. Now, the game is simple. Get the map. If you can, she’s as good as yours. We will try and stop you of course. Hector rolls his eyes again. I think that goes without saying my dear. It’s a short game. I don’t know, he is a big scary Minotaur after all. I eat Minotaurs for a light snack. They go great with beans and carrots. That is quite morose my dear. Beans….
These guys were idiots…and dangerous. Shaa could smell the blood now too coming down from one of the other tunnels. So friend Shaa. Do you want to play our game?

Sarne paused when he felt a tremor of the collapsing tunnel. It was not a big one. If you were not paying attention you might even miss the tremor. There was a noise that Sarne picked on. With a grin, Sarne knew it was Gerhart It was comforting to know that Gerhart could handle himself and anything that came along.
[1] Sarne studied the man and the angel that the bandit was sitting sarne now knew at what angle to attack the bandet. Taking a few beep breaths Sarne was about to attack when a shadow overflew the camp. The Terror Bird was high in the air but close enough to see Screech now start to cercal the area. The bandit stood up to look at the Terror Bird
[2]Not wasting any more time Sarne got into position his shield and sword ready Sarne had been studying the man for a bit of time now and Sarne glanced around still not seeing any more bandits. Sarne focused on himself. [3] Sarne burst out of the shadows his movements fluid and quick speeding forward at incredibly high speeds smashing into the bandit. The shield spikes pierced deep into him as Sarne's sword penetrated the man's chest. the mad smashed into the wall hard with a thud being crushed between Sarne and the wall.
The Bandit spits blood out of his mouth as his organs are crushed. Blood started to run down his body onto the ground. Sarne backed up a step and thrust his sword one more time into the bandit's back as the bandit fell to the ground. The body twitched for a moment then it stopped moving.

"All right you take a good nap buddy....now then...where could this lead?" Gerhart took a low crouch on the roof to look over the camp. "You smell anything?" He cranes his neck over the side to see Thoman sniffing around.
"Lots of alcohol that way." Thoman points towards a bigger building at the back of camp.
"That's our spot." He grins and hops down starting slink across camp that way.
The ranger bursts into the room expecting a room full of drunks he could easily take out. Instead what he found was a tall half-orc man sitting atop barrels filled with booze. The entire warehouse was full of similar barrels. He gave a tusky grin towards Gerhart as he stood, grabbing his massive maul. The guard struck it against the ground like flint and the head of the maul caught fire.
"Ahah....this isn't where I parked my cart." Gerhart gives a sheepish grin, but the man is charging already. Guess that's not gonna work, well this is what he gets for charging into a fight so cavalier.
He steps off a pad of air[1] to side step the swing, earth cracking beneath the maul. This wasn't your average bandit, he knew what he was doing and he was swinging to kill. Gerhart dropped his smile, he really needs to focus. This is one of those elite bandits Shaa was talking about.
"Yar a fast one ya little pipsqueak. I was hopin to fight the bull, been awhile since I've had a good steak."
"Well seeing as I'm going to kick your butt, you wouldn't have had a chance against Shaa anyways."
