The Butler [Mission/Solo]

Mission:

Solomon could be seen wiping down the bar in the tavern, it was early afternoon so people have yet to come; he would have all the chairs up on the table as the floors were just drying. This was usually the time that Solomon spent cleaning up the tavern before they opened but then the door would open and walks in an older fellow, he was soaked from the rain outside, and what is worse is that it seemed as if he did not care, he looked depressed. Solomon would then walk behind the bar as a gesture that the man could go ahead and order something, “How can I help ya sir, a pint?” the man would shake off his jacket at the door seeing that Solomon was cleaning, then would walk over to the bar. “Yea a pint would be good, doesn’t matter what kind or brew anything is fine.” Solomon would turn to grab a pint glass and fill it to the brim with one of his finer ales, he would turn and give it to the man, and he would later charge him only for one of his regular brews. Not only did he believe that this was a good way to attract more customers by giving them a taste of the finer things but he believed the man needed it at the moment and that is what makes a good bar tender, knowing what a man needs before serving.

After some silence and a couple pints later the man would begin to chat with Solomon they would speak about how he works as a head butler and Solomon would speak of his own past, the two were conversing and were deep in conversation enough that Solomon would not open the tavern for others, which was acceptable as he could gain himself a loyal customer. Then the topic headed towards a darker side as Solomon expected it would when the conversation began, he knew he was bound to talk about what made him so depressed in the first place, “I am bound to lose my job shortly as the noble I work for recently had his home invaded, they stole some jewels and huang... but what worries me the most is that they also kidnapped his four daughters, I do not know what they plan as they have not yet tried to contact us for any ransom it makes myself and my master fear the most, and he has not been himself as of late obviously.” Solomon knew the chances of ransom would be slim if it had been that long he would assume that the men plan on selling the women if they have not been killed already, but that would be something he would not share with the butler. “Have there been any clues or updates in the search for them?” The heads man would sick a bit more, “The only clue we have is one of the man’s’ mask and some torn clothing.” Solomon would then hand him the bill and it would say zero, the man looked up surprised, “Do not worry about it, I have a deal in mind for you.” The man would then reply, “What would that be?” Solomon would then lock up his things and the alcohol and as he was doing this he would say, “I’ll find his daughters if you can convince the noble you work for to have a decent reward for me if I do bring them home... As well as you will begin to come here at least twice a week just to say hi and maybe buy a pint.” The man found the end of the deal odd slightly but he agreed none the less.

The two of them would leave the tavern as the butler would escort him to the residence after locking up, he would give Solomon the mask they had left and the torn clothing, he would then immediately set them on to Largo who was by his side the entire trip, thankfully Jasmine was out of town at the moment on another visit with her father and mother. Which is what gave him the idea of doing something dangerous which he has not done in some time, he missed doing things like this with Hohotaro. He would then get atop of Largo and look to the butler ignoring the Noble that stood next to him, “I’ll bring him home, and remember the deal.” He would then ride off out of their sight before allowing Largo to smell the mask and remaining rags of clothing. Largo would then look around slightly before running back towards where they had left, and just before hitting the residence again Largo would turn into the bush surrounding them, “Odd, does not seem they have gone too far yet.” As they were only just ear shout out of reach of the residence, but that would change as then Largo and Solomon atop him would come out of the bush and onto a small trail. “Hmm this trail looks freshly made and it only begins here, it is odd it does not fully extend out of the bush.” They would both follow the trail and it would lead them farther away from the resident, and when the bush ended they would come to a small cliff side, getting off Largo and looking of the edge Solomon would see many ropes and a ladder down, into the man made pit of sorts, he could see one man would be standing just outside of a cave down at the bottom of the pit, thankfully however the ladder would stand just to the right of him and not in the direction he was facing as he was leaning back against the wall side.

The first concern that came to mind was Largo, Solomon would walk back just inside the bush and away from the path and tie him up there as he did not wish for Largo to come down if he heard anything and he did not wish for someone that may come from that path to possibly spot him. After doing that he would then head to back to the pit, surprisingly he man was gone which was better for him getting down but he was curious why he left. However he would not wait he would then begin to climb down the ladder made of rope it was not till he was about three quarters of the way down where he would stop climbing as the man came back out of the cave, he was walking as he ate some food he must have went in to get. Regretfully even though Solomon did not make a single move and noise the man was headed towards the ladder, and as he reached the bottom of the ladder he then looked up. Looking up however he would only see a black mass upon him as Solomon then let go of the ladder to fall upon him digging his elbow into the neck of the man as a Basic Attack. The man let out a squeal of pain only for a split second before Solomon covered his mouth and the man passed out. Getting a closer look at the man Solomon would be able to tell him as Slave Warden, ‘Oh that’s what was going on.” He would think to himself now knowing that the women were likely still alive, alive but traumatized. Just as Solomon went to stand to move on he would then realize that he also had taken damage from the fall, D-Tier damage to his right hip. He would then make his way to the edge of the cave entrance, he would then see two more men sitting around a wooden table and they had set a lantern just next to the table on a rocks edge, so regretfully if Solomon was to get any closer he knew they would be able to see his massive shadow move along the wall in front of them. It looked as if they were just amusing themselves chatting as there was nothing on the table and no form of food or drink around them, but Solomon had no way of getting closer without being seen.

Knowing there was no other way Solomon decided that he would just charge in, he could not see any other person and the other thing there was a make shift wall and door he could only assume that the women were behind that wall. Backing up before running in so Solomon could be at his max sprint speed he would then dive towards the two men airplane style with both his arms extended taking them to the ground with him. Getting up to one need Solomon would then turn to throw his right fist into the face of one of the slavers standing up as a Basic Attack and then turning to the other who was already up he would attempt to use a Basic Attack at the man’s gut only to meet Basic Parry In which the man would use his arm to try and push Solomon’s fist away from him but regretfully the man was not expecting such a force from Solomon and the snap of his arm could be heard across the cave as the man yelled out and Solomon would use one more Basic Attack to his gut to shut him up. It was not till then another man came out of the door he saw earlier, looking over he could see the man and the one of the women chained up behind him naked, the Warden could been seen holding up a pretty rusty cleaver. He would then charge Solomon holding up his cleaver to swing it down upon him using Deep Impact attempting to do C-Tier damage, but that would only be dodged by Hoho Dance Solomon would almost vanish in the eyes of the Warden, and he would barely be able to realize as he face was heading for the ground as Solomon used a Basic Attack to grab and smash the face of the warden directly in the ground almost every bone in his face would break.

Solomon would walk up to the locked up women and notice none were harmed to the point of disfigurement but they were traumatized especially since they had to watch one of the sisters being raped. But other then that they were happy they could finally head home.
