    Default [M] City of the Dead (Holey & Alien) IC

    Albert sat at a table by himself at a local inn in the Westmark city of Eventide. A loyal knight in service to the Emperor to whom the king nominally owed his fealty, he had the luxury of being out of the jurisdiction of the kingdom itself, though Westmark typically served the Empire in name only, operating with autonomy in its own right. The Empire didn't mind, so long as they paid their taxes, and Westmark didn't seem to mind the presence of occasional Imperial troops in its territory, either.

    For the time being, the knight simply waited. He had come at the request of the king, who feared sending his own army against the necroplague that had turned the nearby city of Midnacht into a necropolis of walking corpses, as the Necroplague was, in fact, highly contagious, and a single bite or scratch was said to be able to infect a living soldier and slowly kill him, only to raise him again as an undead servant of the archlich Abdulmalik, an powerful wizard and high priest to the god of death said to be behind the necroplague.

    He did carry a flask with him, however. A potent potion, said to imbue whoever drank from it with immunity to the Necroplague. However, due to the rarity of ingredients, he only had one potion, to give to a single individual. He himself was, for whatever reason, immune to the necroplague, but the companion who had been chosen to accompany on this mission would need to drink the potion in advance, to prevent him from having to put down his only ally in order to prevent her from becoming a zombie.

    And so, he simply waited, sipping at a strong stout, unsure who exactly had been chosen to accompany him, yet confident that his companion would have no difficulty finding him, as he was the only man in the tavern wearing a full suit of armor.

    Clara had just found the small tavern where she was supposed to be meting her partner. Figuring out how to defeat the necroplague was on her mind since she was given the details of her job. The idea of getting turned into an undead warrior was a neat one, but the loss of your mind was not something she wanted. Clara was hoping that her partner might have something to protect them. She was highly skilled in what she did and often got jobs offered to her. She only accepted the high paying ones, and a job from the king was definitely higher paying than other jobs she'd been offered.

    She stepped into the tavern with her usual cautious and quick walk. Clara was always wearing a lighter armor, making it easier for her to get around with ease. She was wearing a small amount of flexible, but strong, leather armor under her clothing to keep her at least a little guarded from anything that might've tried to attack her on her way to the tavern. she had a dagger a bow strapped to her left side, a quiver filled with arrows on her right. She had had to travel from a smaller town that was a bit further away than she remembered.

    She spotted a man in a full suit of armor almost immediately and assumed that he was who she was going to be partnered up with. Clara walked over to him and sat down at the seat across from his. She brushed away a hair that was stuck to her lip and placed her hands neatly on the table in front of her. "Greetings, I assume you're who I'm partnered up with?.." she said questioned quietly and looked the man over, "I'm Clara," she added on in case her name had been given to him. She had forgotten her partners name, or if she had even been told it already.

    The knight was on his second beer by the time the slender form of a girl who looked too young to be in the bar showed up, wearing clothing over what could only be some form of light armor. His eyes glanced over to her as she approached him, as she had quite obviously located him with ease, just as intended. Watching her sit dowwn across the table from him, he gave a bit of a shrug. "I suppose, provided you're willing to brave the dangerous of a zombie necroplague in order to save the world."

    As she said her name, he gave a slight nod. "Albert," he said his name. "Wasn't expected to be working with someone so... small." Though she wasn't very forboding in her appearance, the knight still knew not to judge some people by their appearance. There might be times when a more stealthy approach was necessary, after all, and Clara looked like she could fit in some rather tight places.

    He glanced over at her belongings. By the looks of her, she was an archer, as she didn't carry an edged weapon larger than a dagger. "Head is a bit of a small target," he remarked. "Thankfully, most zombies don't move so fast, so they'll hardly think to dodge. What can you tell me of yourself, Clara?" Of course, there was the problem in that not all of the undead minions of Abulmalik were zombies... but the vast majority were, at least. He figured this girl had to be good enough with a bow to hit a slowly moving target in the head, else she wouldn't have been hired to accompany him.
