C2 Ep. 130 The Boss is Late Chapter Two

—Philip

Saidan Boromar lays dead in his office, the Loaded Dice standing around him. Viggo and some of the other family enter before they can react in any way, and Viggo and Hob start shouting. Erys climbs out the window, looking for how someone got in, and calls Tasha their way. She sees a skiff with three Thuranni assassins onboard. When Tasha arrives, Erys hops in and rams the boat through the window. Milo and Reynard jump in, and Hob sprints and grabs Viggo before joining them.

They begin their getaway, but have to shake the Thuranni assassins first. The chase leads them through Sharn. They harpoon the boat, but Hob kicks it off. Reynard stabs Viggo's hand into a crate. Milo freaks out the driver with his shadow magic, and Erys shoots a tether off Hob that's been shot from one of the assassins. Reynard uses one of his special arrows on the driver, not knowing what it'll do. It crushes the man's head with wire, and he screams and can no longer focus on chasing them. Erys starts heading towards an abandoned building she knows of in High Walls.

## Synopsis

The Loaded Dice are standing at Boromar HQ, with Saidan Boromar's dead body laying in front of them, Reynard's dagger in his chest. Erys turns to warn Olive, but she's blocked by the family entering through the door: Mala, Ilyra, Viggo, Lyssa, Tarvul, and Coran. Milo checks the blade, and sees some kind of substance like poison on it. He's heard tale of this sort of thing, magic created to prevent resurrection.

Erys and Hob run over to the windows, looking for any evidence of someone coming or going. Erys swings out of the window with her spider-climb boots. Viggo turns to Coran and tells him to get the Gols. He points a finger at Reynard and says he doesn't know why, or how. Hob claims their innocence, but Viggo is having none of it. They yell at each other, and Reynard points out how convenient it is and Viggo just walked in at this moment. The Gols arrive, and Viggo tells them to shut Reynard up. Hutch and seven other Gols walk into the room.

Hearing the shouting, Erys summons Tasha.

Reynard, Hob, and Milo hear Tarvul's voice in their heads, telling them to get out. He doesn't know what's happening. Erys calls Olive, and tells her to stay at the party.

Milo addresses Mala and Ilyra, and says he's so sorry about this, but he and Reynard did not do it. Mala looks at him with recognition and understanding.

Erys sees a skiff with three figures on it. She recognizes the glowing red eye of Okan, and they're heading towards the building. Tasha arrives, and Erys hops in and swings her in through the open window. Viggo shouts to take down the skiff. Reynard and Milo run to Tasha. Hob sprints at Viggo, throwing him over his shoulder and hopping into Tasha.

One of the Gols shoots at Hob, with a crossbow-type device, but on a chain. The first one bounces off, but the second one ensnares him. Erys returns fires, freeing Hob. They all get into the skiff and take off, three Thuranni assassins on their tail. Reynard is Big Mad, so he takes a harpoon and stabs Viggo's hand through a crate.

Out of Milo's head comes his wispy black smoke, freaking out some of the assassins. Okan brings a hand crossbow up and fires, and a bolt with metal cable flies out and thunks into the back of Tasha. Someone crashes into the side of the other skiff, and they lose sight of Tasha for a moment. Milo tells them about the poison on the dagger, and warns that they don't want to get into a melee fight with these people. Erys hits their guidance system.

Hob kicks along the side of the boat to kick the harpoon out. Milo suggests taking them as prisoners, and Erys shouts that they have enough prisoners. Reynard shoots at the other car, and right before the point of impact, the arrow disperses metal wires, and sucks back into the arrow after it hits. Reynard decides to be more careful with that one. The person's mask tears and he lets out a blood-curdling scream as the wire squeezes his skull, and Tasha manages to lose them.

Erys calls Olive again to make sure she's okay. Olive has just left Katherine's, and is about to have a chat with her problem. Erys warns her that someone has been attacking Lower Division, and that her brother might want to stay somewhere else. Erys flies for an abandoned building she knows of in High Walls.
