Sitting down at a particular fountain, Liber Aurelius gave a yawn and a stretch as he peered through a foggy autumn morning. There weren't many people up yet and the small square seemed rather deserted. Seeing that there were no prying eyes, the Fanalis man leaned over and removed a loose brick retrieving a small peace of paper from within a hidden compartment. Replacing the brick carefully so as to leave it looking undisturbed, Liber sat up and read what the first dead drop had to say. It seemed Octavius' men had found a target for Liber to handle. A particularly cruel Kou soldier that had taken part in the invasion was apparently laying low not too fat outside the city.

The details of what this soldier had done listed in the letter were more than enough to mark him for execution in Liber's mind. Crumpling up the paper, Liber took it with him back to his inn room where a lit candle promptly served to burn all evidence of its existence into ashes. The location of his target was outside the city in an area somewhat unfamiliar to the assassin, so Liber decided to scope out the area in the cover of night before making any moves. He spent the rest of the day in his room making sure his supplies were all in top shape. His Assassin's Kiss needles were all tucked neatly in their hidden slits that covered Liber's clothing and his Swordsman's Cloth was intently sharpened to keep the delicate brittle edge in good condition.

When night fell upon Remano, Liber left the inn and made his way for the city gates. Preparation for any job was key, and Liber made himself ready by gathering information. The abandoned shack where the Kou soldier had been spotted was fairly out of the way and made for a perfect place if one didn't want to be found. Candle light from within the small building made it clear that the shack wasn't so abandoned after all and Liber watched with patience until someone left the building to use the nearby outhouse-like latrine.

All the virtue in the world would not buy Liber enough patience for the latrine going suspect never came. The moon would rise high in the sky and the light inside the shack would go out giving way to a still silence that lasted until night turned to day. Liber had lost the cover of darkness and he was starting to get hungry, but the fanalis assassin continued his stake out anyways. The shack was far removed enough that he could afford to strike during the light of day. So he remained hidden in nearby brush and continued to watch from his vantage point until two individuals approached the shack leading a load donkey that seemed to be carrying supplies. The men wore the clothing of peasants and slum dwellers but their features marked them as natives of Kou. Liber's eyes narrowed and followed the pair as the walked up the the shack and rapped upon the door with some kind of coded knock.

After a brief pause, the door opened and a man fitting the description of Liber's target poked his head out into the light looking groggy as though he'd been awakened by the company. The men unloaded the goods and handed them to Rocky but the soldier seemed far less than thankful. He spit on one of the men for some reason Liber could no overhear from here and kicked the other in the shin. Reports of this man's cruelty didn't seem to be understated. If this was how he treated his own allies there was no telling how he treated his enemies and civilians. When the supplies were unloaded and the men began taking their leave, Liber waited till they were a good distance away from the shack and then emerged from his hiding spot to follow them down the dirt path.

Giving a bit more time for a decent distance to grow between these thugs and Rocky's hide out, Liber followed behind them with silent steps until finally he deemed it was time to make a move. Liber flowed from a quiet stroll to a full on sprint as he charged the two men from behind. His foot steps gave him away and the two men turned around but knowing they were being attacked would not save them from Liber's skill. He swiped his left hand through the air sending senbon flying towards both men. The used a Cowardly Dash to dodge the first volley and zig-zagged their way past a second bringing them closer to the charging fanalis. Both thugs drew their daggers and prepared to engage Liber but he was moving at them with too much speed for them to react considering how fast they'd ran towards him themselves.

As the thug's side to side movement stopped, Liber would leap into the air and twist performing a knee strike to the head of one of the men cracking his skull. Liber's forward movement and force was transferred fully into the strike allowing him to gracefully land on the ground where his victim had just been standing as the Kou thug went flying a few feet away to take a well deserved dirt nap. The second man grit his teeth and performed a Poison Cross Slash but Liber was ready for an attack and slipped into a Graceful Sway to carry him away from the man's reach as he threw a handful of Senbon. The needles would pierce into the thug at his left breast, neck, and forehead dealing three counts of D-tier damage. With his blood flow in three vital points sealed, the Kou soldier in beggar's clothing fell to his knees wide eyed with fear unable to move as Liber finished him off with a single elbow to the top of the head.

With both of the thugs cranium's crushed, they would both be dying soon. That left only one more piece of trash to take out and Liber had a feeling that his target wouldn't be receiving any more visitors any time soon. It was now or never.

Liber turned from the dying men to find himself staring down the mountain of muscle and flesh that was Rocky. The Elite soldier wasn't wearing his armor, but he had his standard issued sword of Kou craftsmanship and a large magic tool wrapped around one of his fists. Rocky brought a bottle of wine to his lips and gulped down a large portion of it before throwing the bottle to the ground with a satisfied grin. "Here I was about to crush some skulls because the help couldn't even pick up the right kind of booze, and what do I find? A red rat already did the work for me." He looked pleased that his men were defeated and Liber quickly deduced why as the soldier drew his blade. Rocky was happy to have found an opponent whom he could kill as he'd been under orders to lay low since the night of the invasion. "But I got all worked up over the idea of having some fun. You'll play with me, wont you? Little Red Rat~"

Liber gauged the distance between them to be about 10m and tried to think of how best to approach. Without the element of surprise there was really no safe way to go about it, not until he knew more about what the man's magic tool was capable of. The assassin held his ground and readied a set of needles in his left hand as his right hand came to rest upon the handle of his Swordsman's Cloth behind his back. "Not going to come to me?" Rocky said with a frown. "Your cowardice bores me...fine, I'll just make you come to me!" The soldier then held out his glove with an open palm and sent a burst of magoi through the air to Liber's feet.

A Wall of Rock erupted from the ground beneath Liber's footing at 15m/s launching the fanalis into the air in a trajectory that sent him in an arc that would end with a crash landing right where Rocky Stood. The Kou soldier had his sword arm raised high in preparation for a Slashing Death to cleave the incoming fanalis in two. Seeing the threat, Liber turned in mid air to stabilize himself before launching the needles in hand for a sudden Pressure Prick attack. One of the thrown needles was a distraction and it was aimed for Rocky's face. He rose his gauntlet to block the projectile and scoffed just as the second needle pierced a nerve in his sword arm. The limb fell to his side paralyzed and his sword dropped to the ground. Unprepared for the sudden loss of movement, Rocky stepped backwards three times to get out of Liber's reach but it was a vain effort.

The fanalis landed on his feet and his legs bent to absorb the impact as he drew his Swordsman's Cloth and lashed out at the retreating Kouen man. The cloth-like blade would reach out with a fluid motion to catch Rocky across the chest leaving behind a moderately deep cut that bleed a generous amount of his life juices onto the earth below. Rocky held his chest in disbelief that he'd been cut by what seemed to be mere cloth until the assassin's blade wobbled and made a metallic sound. "Strange weapon you've got, but it's a bit weak. If you want to really hurt someone, you need to use FORCE!" Rocky slammed his magic tool fist into the ground and a blunt Crushing Fist of stone rose in front on Liber. The fanalis barely managed to side step to avoid a direct blow and took the brunt of the attack in his right shoulder breaking bone and filling his body with pain. But Liber had been through torture and pain like this was bearable, especially when the adrenaline of battle was pumping through his veins.

Liber turned with the impact and spun on his heel  as his swordsman's cloth dropped from his now useless right hand before launching forward into a sprint for Rocky. The large man was strong, but he was too slow to deal with the Fanalis' superior speed. Liber ran to Rocky's paralyzed side to take advantage of his injury. Rocky tried to turn with a punch but it wouldn't matter as Liber's round house kick to the man's head would strike like lightning. A satisfying crunch would sound as the human's bone fractured under the force of Liber's blow and rocky went down falling just as hard as one would expect from one so big.

With his target taken out, Liber ensured his elimination by jamming a single needle into his temple. The rest of the day's work was simple enough. Liber went around to each body and retrieved the needles from them before using his Swordsman's Cloth to cut up the flesh to cover up the needle wounds with those more fitting of a dagger or sword. He did not want to leave evidence of his personal weapon styles behind. With the corpses altered to bear no signs of his handy work, Liber kicked dirt and dust over his own blood and departed the scene of the assassination with haste. After seeing a healer about his busted shoulder, Liber would return to his inn room and await payment once Octavius heard of Rocky's death.
