Mission Summaries

While trying to locate the main buildings such as the tavern in the surrounding area, there is a sudden commotion, the cloaked man has murdered the woman, two guards who were stationed at the entrance to the town take a step forward before something odd becomes clearly apparent. The man’s face has become twisted and his nose has been pushed out from his head. Suddenly a small patch of black fur grows on his face and covers his whole body. His medium sized body has grown tall and muscular. His nose could no longer be called a nose, rather a snout and his ears have become a bright pink. This now pig-like giant man looks the guards right in the eyes and screams “I am Oinkbane the Deadly, and you will now suffer my SNEAK ATTAAAAAAAAACK!”

Anonymous: Every time someone references the beaver I imagine it alive and not happy about the situation and trying to escape his face. Anonymous: Yes, but he's strapped it on with leather cords. Anonymous: What if the beaver is actually magic? Refrek Spine Snapper: So... like it's not in the beard... but the beaver itself it the magic bit? Anonymous: He uses a different beaver each time. It isn't having a beard or having a beaver. It's having both and being subtle about it. Refrek Spine Snapper: And the dress... don't forget the dress. That's why women do more hidden magic. They're more subtle about hiding their beavers than wizards are. Anonymous: "They're more subtle about hiding their beavers than wizards are." My god you... you really just said that.

Anonymous: I want a back story of Oinkbanes hammer! Refrek Spine Snapper: Oh ok... You mean the same story of when he was taught the ancient secret art of assassination known as Pork Chop. His mother taught it to him before she was made into bacon. She never taught Porkbane because she was busy faking loving him. She really loved Oinkbane, who she pretended not to love. She was a very subtle mother.

   Gentlepork, I imagine, if he's the opposite of Oinkbane, should be constantly arrested due to undue suspicion.
   Yes, even when he's going to the grocer's.

   >Gentlepork knows Heimlich maneuver!
   >Concerned neighbor busts in on Gentlepork 'choking' his friend
   >IT IS MISUNDERSTANDINGS OFFICER

Anonymous: Gentlepork is Porkbane and Oinkbane's father... or so he believes. HE SHOULD NEVER HAVE MARRIED SO SUBTLE A WOMAN. Porkbane and Oinkbane's mother.... commonly know as Madam Rinds. Sadly, Madam Rinds passed away recently, at far too young an age. The Assassin's Guild that offed her, as a sick revenge, turned her into bacon. Everyone who ate that bacon died. It was her last subtlety. It took fifteen assassins and a orbital launch platform to take her out... she was that subtle.

Indonesian Gentleman: Now I get the 'Meet the Sniper' reel, but instead of Sniper it's Oinkbane, and the ones on the phone are Gentlepork and Madam Rinds. "Dad? Dad I- … y- …'m Not a crazed hammerman, Dad, I'm an assassin! Well, the difference being one's a job, and the other's mental sickness! IT'S TOO SUBTLE FOR YOU! Look dad can you just put mom on the phone?!"

Steve & Skitters

Refrek Spine Snapper: Oinkbane is the greatest assassin on the continent. No one is out of his reach, no one is beyond his tactics.

Guys... I think he needs a sidekick.

A were rat named Skitters who is a cowardly thief? also she isn't a human turned rat, rather a rat turned human?

Or a normal human named Steve who is suspiciously out of place for no matter what setting he is in? Steve, who never fits to the setting yet looks like the most casual and average man there is. In high fantasy he is dressed in jeans and a button down. In sci-fi he is dressed in jeans and a button down. In swashbuckling adventure he is dressed in a jeans and a button down. In a horrible dystopian future he wears his old assassins robes. In current day setting.... wears nothing but a smile

Part 1: “Welcome to our guild acolyte. Your skills in stealth will be of great use here.” The assassin master Agropos said while waving the acolyte into the sanctum. The young recruit gulped as he slowly walked inside. “There is no need to fear. Your death now would be nothing more than a cruel joke. And our gods have no sense of humor.” Another master chortles after hearing that, “You lie fool. Do not forget about the chosen of the Western Sanctum.” “WE DO NOT SPEAK OF THAT THING!” Agropos screamed. “Ignore him! He speaks of CRAZY THINGS!” Agropos mimed waving his hands over his hooded head wildly. “ALL THE TIME! There. Is. Nothing. To. Worry. About!” “Uh…yes master. Of course,” the acolyte replied. Agropos composed himself and turned. Motioning with his hand he guided the young man deeper inside. As they left the entrance the other master started making soft ‘oinking’ noises. The acolyte was anointed without much to do. Three masters informed him of the true skills of the assassin: Stealth, Dedication, Subltely. At that last one the master that oinked laughed a bit earning a glare from Agropos. “To prove yourself acolyte, you must slay this woman.” Agropos revealed a drawing of exquisite detail. “Slay her and claim the green gem from her pendant and you will be one of us.” “Thank you, master. I will not fail you.”

Part 2: He stood on the roof of the opposite building just beyond his target’s compound. The massive stone wall built as if protecting a king or noble instead of a mere paranoid merchant. With a skillful shot from his crossbow he made a zipline over the wall, beyond the view of the guards. Crossing to the main building’s roof he prepared to infiltrate when a whistle made him freeze. “INTRUDER! INTRUDER!” a guard’s voice rang out. Whirling the acolyte tried desperately to see how they could have seen him. Did he fly over too low? “MARK YOURSELF!” “Wait,” he thought, “That’s coming from the courtyard.” Leaning over the edge to see he watched as over a dozen guards surrounded a young girl with a basket of bread. “What is she? A vampire?” “WHO SENT YOU CHILD!” The girl, obviously frightened shook violently. The shudders increased and she fell to her knees crying, dropping her basket and sending the bread roll tumbling out, as the woman he had been sent to kill and a man who may have been her husband stormed out. “You fools! She still lives! He’s coming! The note!” “But sir…she’s only a girl. And the basket-" "SHE HAS A BASKET! CHECK IT!” the man screeched. The guards immediately began hacking the bread and its wicker container to pieces. “Damn,” the acolyte grunted. “With them on guard like this I’ll never-” And then a sound could be heard“ssssSS". “By the dark?” he asked as the sound grew louder. “NNNNNNNNNNNNNEAAAAAAAAAK!” A brown blur flew from the sky. It had the rough shape of a man but was built and bulky in unnatural ways. The form slammed like the fist of a god into the man, squashing him into a smear across the ground. “ATTACK!”

---

Part 3: “Is…is that a wereboar?” the acolyte asked? ”The woman, now coated in her husband’s slime, screamed. The guards immediately attacked swinging their weapons in wide safe arcs. The creature snorted and stood, ignoring a gash across its chest. It tumbled backward and the guards proceeded to stab and eviscerate its corpse. “HOLD! It’s dead.” “Wait…sir…it’s…” one of the guards crouched down and sifted through the remains. He lifted a piece and held it up to the captain. “Bread?” “TOO SUBTLE FOR YOUUUUUUUUU!” the voice of the wereboar echoed through the courtyard as its mallet crushed the skull of the woman and the guard captain next to her in one swift blow. The acolyte gaped at the scene, his face growing paler and paler as the carnage went on. Slowly creeping away from the edge he scaled down, snuck around to the woman’s corpse and snatched the necklace, which in the melee had been crushed into her now mostly liquid torso. Upon his return the masters clapped in honor of him. “Wait. I must confess. It was not I who killed the target. A…A creature interrupted the assignment.” Agropos straightened, “What…kind of creature?” “A wereboar.” Agropos slapped his forehead and growled deeply. “Damnable Oinkbane.” Upon the speaking of the creature’s name the door to the weapon room slammed open revealing none other than the beast itself.

---

Part 4: “How did he-” “DON’T ASK!” Agropos yelled. “Oinkbane…what do we owe the pleasure?” “Muh mallet wuz derti,” he replied as he wiped it with a robe strangely reminiscint of Agropos’. “I needs a servant.” “Why?” Oinkbane stared blankly at him. “Fine…here! Take this one, he’s a failure anyway.” “WHAT! BUT!” Oinkbane stalked forward and forced a large and fetid bag into his hands, “Wuz yer name?” “Steve…” “Meets me here in five dayz. Don’t be late.” He slapped a piece of paper into Steve’s hands and went back into the weapon room, slamming the door hard enough to break it in half. “What…but. Master Agropos…” “Get out.” “But…but…” Steve’s shoulder’s sank as he was forced out of the sanctum into the sewers. He stared at the paper and sighed. “He…he doesn’t know how to spell very well.”

And so began Steve's apprenticeship under Oinkbane.

   >Oinkbane and Steve are traveling between jobs by cart
   > Oinkbane sits on top with the luggage slowly polishing his mallet
   > "Hey Oinkbane?"
   > "Wut?"
   > Oinkbane continues to polish his hammer
   > "Why do you know... use a hammer for assassination?"
   > Oinkbane seems to consider this for a moment.

   > "Yes?"
   > "Wut iz an assassin's job?"

   > "Kill people?"
   > "Ya, and wut kill more? Tiny pointy? Or big smashy?"
   > "Yes, but shouldn't you be ste--"
   > "WUT KILL MORE?"
   > Steve sighs.
   > "Big smashy..."
   > The were boar sits back satisfied.
   > "TOO SUBTLE FOR YOU!!"

   Oinkbane multiclasses as a mage:
   > Steve and Oinkbane have made camp for the night
   > "Oinkbane, what are you doing?"
   > The were boar is standing next to the fire waving his arms about.
   > "Magic, now shut yer trap. Yous gonna break my consertrashion."
   > "Oinkbane, you know doing magic is a bit harder than th--"
   > Oinkbane strikes another pose, pushing his hands forward in interrupt them.
   > "Them damn wizards always manage ter do et."
   > Oinkbane continues to waves his hands about.
   > "Oinkbane, you need training to do magic."
   > "Naw, it's all in da robes and sum such." 
   > Steve looks down, sees Oinkbane is in the dress of some princess they assassinated earlier that week.
   > "I really don--"
   > Oinkbane shouts to interrupt him.
   > "I know, it'z da magic words!"
   > Steve shakes his head and goes back to sleep.
   > Four hours later the two of them are leaving the forest at top speed, most of it burnt down.
   > Oinkbane stands on the back, a beaver strapped to his jaw
   > "IT WUZ DA BEARD, NOT DA DRESS!!"
   > "TOOOOOoooooo---"
   > His cry disappears into the night as he throws fireballs into the surrounding woods.

   Oinkbane decides to multiclass as a bard:
   > Steve stumbles out of his tent, hands clamped over his ears
   > "Oh god, Oinkbane! I said no assassinating before sun up!"
   > Finds the were boar sitting on a rock with a strange sack with tubes.
   > "Oinkbane!"
   > He continues the play
   > "OINKBANE!!!"
   > The pig man stops.
   > "Wut, why you yellin'?"
   > "What are you doing?"
   > The were boar shows the sack, it looks like a fleshy bladder.
   > "I wuz juss thinkin', ya know how den pretty bois in the bars always do dat singin'."
   > "...yes?"
   > "Well, they're always sayin' they're gonna stab dem lady's with their sword dat night..."
   > Oh god no, thought Steve.
   > "If dem pretty bois can do it with just dat stupid lute then me and me pipes should be able to get me assassinations done twice as fast if I can just play."
   > Steve stared from the pipes to wereboar
   > "I mean day don't look like assassins, so if a proper one does the stabbin'."
   > Steve turned around, and walked back towards camp.
   > Maybe some things were just TOO SUBTLE.
   
   The origin of Skitters:
   Oinkbane was hired to assassinate a particularly paranoid illusionist who pretended to be an ordinary noble. They spent days playing a complex game of hide-and-seek 
   through the illusionists house, each disguising themselves as different things. Oinkbane was almost beaten. Enter Skitters, she was just an ordinary street kid robbing 
   what she thought was an ordinary nobles house. She distracts the illusionist at the crucial moment, allowing Oinkbane to kill him. Oinkbane thinks she tracked him down in 
   order to ask him to train her as an assassin - tells her he's pretty impressed by her attempt. "I'm sure you would have got him yourself if I wasn't faster - you iz prety 
   subtle" Despite her frequent attempts to escape her 'apprenticeship' he always tracker her down and brings her back. He views her escape attempts as enthusiastic attempts 
   to strike out at her own targets and/or trips into town for groceries, scouting out the landscape etc. Oinkbane knows she looks like a ratgirl but thinks she is a catgirl 
   who is disguising herself. Every so often she will attempt to kill him to get away. She sneaks into his tent and stabs into his blankets. It's a sack of belongings... her 
   belongs..."You iz not subtle enuff yet to beat da master" Oinkbane bursts through the side of the tent and tosses her into one of the disguise crates and seals her inside.

Anonymous:I have this image of a scene where Skitters and Steve hanging out, Oinkbane on assignment. "You know, my name isn't REALLY Skitters. He just calls me that." "What? Oh, sorry. What should I call you?" "I'll give you a hint. It starts with O." "Oh! Is it... Wait. No. NO." "Yes. I'm OINKBANE. Ha, just fucking with ya. Nah, it's actually Sarah." "...Oh. Jesus, that wasn't funny." "What, the joke too subtle for ya?" Anonymous: I like to imagine that the Tales of Oinkbane are the memoirs of Skitters and Steve after their masters death. He tried to out-subtle a dragon and failed. Steve and Skitters become master assassins who carry on the subtle legacy of their master and do eventually hook up.

   >The assassin stalks down the hallway
   >Dozens of lesser assassins died before they even made it in the door of the Castle of Martu'z
   >The assassin has been doing this for many years after a grueling apprenticeship filled with hard work, frustration and disappointment
   >The assassins skills were honed for years
   >The assassin opens the door slowly and silently
   >The Archwizard Martu'z is asleep in his chair
   >The assassin creeps up and draws a blade
   >The Archwizard stands up and turns around
   >"WELL DONE SKITTERS ALMOST DIDN'T HEAR YOU COMING. IT HAS BEEN MANY YEARS"
   > "Oinkbane?! I thought you were dead."
   > "NO, I AM SURE I NOT DEAD. I HAVE HEART BEAT AND EVERYTHING. HOW ARE YOU AND STEVE DOING?"
   > Skitters looks around the room, the old disguise crates and what not lay around.
   > "Fine, but how did yo--"
   > "GOOD, MAYBE HE BECOME SUBTLE ENOUGH TO ACTUALLY SAY FEELING. I SEE YOU HAVE RING... VERY SUBTLE... I HOPE HE MORE SMASHY THAT POINTY..."
   > "Wait, what Oinkbane? What do yo--"
   > "DO YOU HAVE MANY KID?"
   > "Oinkbane?!"
   > "AH, I SEE... VERY SUBTLE... JUST LIKE MADAM RINDS, NEVER LET KNOW HOW MANY THERE ARE. HELP IF ANYONE EVERY COME TO SNEAK ATTACK."
   > "Oinkbane!!"
   > "YES?"
   > "What are you doing here?"
   > Oinkbane slowly takes out a beaver and pressed it against his chin.
   > "I THOUGHT IT OBVIOUS... I AM BEING FANCY SKY MAN after I killed da last one."
   >Flashback too when oinkbane was "Killed" by the dragon.
   > "OINKBANE NOT GOOD AT GOODBYES..."
   > Wipes a single tear from his porky cheek 
   > "THEY NOT SUBTLE..."
   > Oinkbane turns away from the cliff, overlooking the dragon body and the fake Oinkbane.
   > Skitters and Steve stand over the body, Skitters crying, Steve trying to hide his tears.
   > Steve kneels down and hugs Skitters.
   > The sun slowly rises over the mountain crag.
   > SNEAK....GOODBYE....

Anonymous: Manliest tears all around. Anonymous: So, Oinkbane faked his death because it was easier for him than trying to find the way to say a proper goodbye to his apprentices? Anonymous: He did find the proper way to say goodbye... The subtle way. Anonymous: C'mon, We all knew Oinkbane wasn't dead. The dragon's name was 'Snee k'tak' And the guy who hired him was called 'El Tu Sut'

Anonymous: what if hey guys what if guys guys what if what if you hired Oinkbane to kill Oinkbane? Anonymous: After a battle of epic proportions that makes the illusionist look like a peice of cake, one oinkbane dies. The universe then Implodes Subtly
