         "Do not lie to me old man." Alluette said calmly as he held up the elderly shopkeeper by his throat, "I wish to take information, not lives, but I will not hesitate to do both." He whispered as he gestured to the man's wife and child whimpering quietly in the corner. "Okay, I'll tell you!" He gasped as Alluette released his neck and let him fall to the floor. After a grueling thirty minutes of groveling and pleading he finally got the information he needed. "Thanks for cooperating." Alluette murmured as he slit the old man's throat. "I'd tell you to forget what you saw, but I doubt that will ever happen." He laughed as he looked towards the man's sobbing wife. "I'll see you when you seek your revenge kid." He said as he walked out the door.

   This job had been the most annoying yet, "he's supposed to be six feet tall, how does the bastard move around so much?" He thought to himself as he lay flat on a rooftop to hide himself. "Frikin' Ogres and their stupid rebellion." He thought as he waited patiently for his target as the sun was setting.

Imre Marton Bako was walking along through the capitol city of Adela, Ketra, headed in the direction of the Castle. His people, the ogres had been fighting a war against their mortal enemies, the trolls, for centuries, and they were losing, badly. Despite the fact that individually Ogres were exponentially more powerful than trolls, trolls had two advantages that gave them the edge in the conflict. First, they were far more numerous, aging quicker and having many children, and second, they were naturally vicious creatures with a predatory instinct, something Ogres simply did not possess.

He had come so far from his home in the cold tundra to the North to seek aid in his people's plight from the Adelan government. Little did Imre know however that he would soon be spotted. Then again, it wasn't like hiding was really his strong suit, nor something he was really trying to do. First of, he was more than 6 feet tall, 6'4" to be exact, but really, who's counting, and even width wise was quite large, and so always stood out like a sore thumb in a crowd, people clearing the way for him due to just how much larger he was. Second, many of the pieces on his body, his armor, this being his shoulder armor, gauntlets, and greaves, as well as the royal crown he wore on his head showing his status as royalty, were all made out solid gold.

If Alluette really couldn't spot Imre walking through the crowd below him then he seriously needed to get his eyes checked because he literally stood about a foot above everyone else in the crowd, people who were again, just naturally clearing out of his way due to his massively intimidating physical presence.

   As Alluette was dozing off the Ogre finally showed, he was too tired to find a way to isolate him from the crowd so he decided to just attack blindly and hope for the best, after making sure his chains were untangled he leaped off the building in a flurry of cloaks. As he landed behind the menacing figure. He tapped him on the shoulder. “Hi! My name is Alluette, I kill people for a living, right now people is you, but you’re still alive, you seein’ the problem here? So if you could do me a favor and off yourself for me that’s be great!” He laughed.

When Imre was tapped on the shoulder he stopped and stood still, not moving at all as he listened to the wise cracking Alluette telling him that he was here to kill him. When Alluette was finished Imre slowly raised his hands, before then whirling around and drawing the enormous Great Axe on his back, taking a mighty swing with the weapon directly at Alluette. The swing was so powerful that it actually created a strong gust behind it from the force it generated. Apparently even in his human form, Imre still possessed a very impressive degree of superhuman strength. If he hit Alluette even once he would most likely cleave the man open like a melon.

Imre wasn't an idiot however; he knew full well that killing Alluette wouldn't be that easy, he had more swung at him as a warning than anything else, "Back off little man." He said in a very deep, booming voice, "I don't have time to deal with people getting themselves in over their heads like you. I have more important things to do." And with that Imre simply turned around again and began to walk off, essentially blowing Alluette off completely. What he said was true, he had to get to Adela Castle to begin negotiations with them so that he could procure their aide in saving his people from their present predicament.

Alluette simply ducked under the blade then sped up to catch up with Imre. "Come now lad, a mans gotta eat, so if you won't do it yourself I could always do it for ya." He pleaded insincerely. He then proceeded to fake a lunge at Imre and then sidestepped to initiate his cloak dance.

Thoth

Simply continuing to walk along towards the castle, Imre still tried to ignore Alluette, considering him more of a pest than a serious threat. If he really wanted to he could assume his ogre form and crush Alluette under his foot like an insect, but he imagined that a 40-foot tall giant going on a rampage through the city would most likely attract quite a bit of unwanted attention from the Adelan government. Attention which would severely harm his chances of getting their help for his cause, so for the moment he would hold that option for a last resort.

So, instead, as Alluette approached him Imre just took his enormous battle axe in both of his huge, hulking hands and then as Alluette lunged at him, Imre prepared another strike, but then Alluette broke it off, choosing to initiate a strange kind of dance. Imre wasn't an idiot despite most people thinking members of his race were, and so he knew there had to be some sort of point to what Alluette was doing. Reaching down to his belt with one hand, Imre pulled off one of the four francisca axes that hung off of it, and then raising it up, threw it directly at Alluette's torso, aiming to cleave him clean open and kill him then and there.

Still, Imre knew that even that likely wouldn't be enough to finish him off, so, charging in directly behind his spinning francisca, Imre finally stepped forward and took one mighty swing with his axe, the swing starting high and traveling diagonally downward. Again Imre was trying to simply cleave Alluette in half. Ogres might not be fast, but they were among the strongest races in existence. Even a grazing blow from Imre's axe would cause massive damage to Alluette.

Alluette's cloak dance made him appear farther to the right than he was so Imre's axe simply stuck air. He was not so lucky with the great-axe the mighty weapon striking his shoulder. Alluette back peddled and dropped his poisoned dagger to apply pressure to his deep wound. He gritted his teeth released his arm and drew his short sword and dagger. "Time to go to work" He thought as he swung the dark ebony chain then released, his dirk flew through the air towards Imre's chest. The serrated blade stopped a foot from Imre and retracted then looped back around to slice Imre's ankles.

Thoth

Scoffing under his breath at his first axe missing, but during his second strike he could definitely feel his weapon strike home, and although he didn't smile, being as he was simply not the bloodthirsty type, he knew that this battle was probably his. A wound like that would like that would continue to bleed, and would severely hamper the usability of the arm whose shoulder he had damaged. One more strike like that and this battle would be over for sure.

When Alluette then drew his weapons and threw one of them, a dirk attached to a chain, at his ankle, Imre simply watched. Alluette had actually made a rather novice mistake there, failing to notice the fact that Imre was wearing greaves and sabatons over his legs and feet, and so the chained dagger indeed coiled around his foot, but failed to get through his armor, simply clinking around it. Glancing down at it with a raised brow, Imre shook his head and then bringing his caught foot up, pulled back on it, aiming to force Alluette towards him as he then began charging forward to take another swing at the man with his axe, this time swinging horizontally towards Alluette's torso.

In anticipation pulled back his strength barley able to counter Imre's. He swore under his breath as a few of his fingers were dislocated and the chain snapped. He sheathed his sword and fled to the rooftops clutching his injured arm. He whispered a few ancient demon words then dissipated into a cloud of smoke. "God damned Ogres." He thought to himself as he searched for a cleric to heal his wound.

Thoth

Imre, seeing the chain to Alluette's dagger snap, and then seeing the weapon's owner simply run away after having some of his fingers broken by the force of Imre's pull, just sighed, and after removing the dagger and chain, threw them aside and then turned back towards his destination, Adela Castle, and once again began to walk towards it. He soon arrived at the front gate where on either side a number of guards were standing. Speaking to them, he informed them that he had previously sent word of his impending arrival and had an appointment with a representative from the Adelan government.

After waiting a short while as the guards verified his claim, Imre was let inside, and walking in, was led to a nice lobby-like area and told to wait, directed to a couch with a coffee table in front of it where one of the caste's servants brought him a platter with some tea and a small basket of bread for him to dine on while he waited. Sitting down, Imre's great weight caused the couch to creak under him, but it held, and he then began to partake of the refreshments that had been provided to him.

"Damned Ogres." Alluette murmured as he looked around to make sure no one was looking. He gritted his teeth as he forced each of his fingers back into proper place then pressed his hands to his would, he hissed as his flesh was back together strand by strand until his fatal wound was no more than a faded scar. Night blanketed the sky as Alluette climbed the rooftops and sprinted to the Adelan castle.

Thoth

Imre didn't really take any pleasure in making Alluette look like a total fool and a disgrace to anyone who called themselves an assassin, but anyone looking at the circumstances would have to admit, he asked for it. Imre was simply exerting his right to defend himself from someone who was clearly trying to kill him, and so what he did was simply the natural thing to do.

As Alluette continued to lick his wounds and then after he was done began to make his way towards the castle where Imre was currently waiting to be met by a representative of the Adelan government, Imre was simply sitting patiently on the couch where he had been directed whilst partaking of the tea and bread that had been provided to him to keep him occupied while he did so and whoever the Adelans designated to represent them to him finished up their other business and prepared to see him. They sure were taking an awfully long time though, but this was important, so Imre simply continued to sit and wait, hoping that they hadn't simply forgotten him or worse just blown him off completely.
