Hendrickson looked at Corvo and snapped, A few guards came in and
grabbed him by his arms. They dragged him out of the room and shut
the door. "Now then, As I was saying. This next assignment will
probably kill or injure most of you. You are to track and obtain
the 7 Swordsmens of Teyano's swords" He said then cleared his
throat.
Kimaru spit out the drink he was drinking and coughed
The man held up his hands and cried out, "Somebody help me!" he
said. Akasu stepped out of the shadows and smirked at the man. "You
have a pretty high bounty on your head old man" She said while
licking her lips.
"Oh I am not drunk enough for this." Duncan sighed staring at his
empty flask, "So you want us to find these seven swords for you.
That is fine I am more interested in pay."
"I agree with the kid. Money is great but it needs to be worth it
or else this is just us giving up on life. Make it worth our
while." Duncan added looking to the king, "You can be creative
about payment too. I personally wouldn't wine a life time supply of
beer. Hint hint."
The king nodded and a few men came in and dropped crates on the
ground in front of all the assassins. "10 Million each. I can also
negotiate" he said while looking towards Duncan.
Kimaru's eyes lit up seeing the crates of golden coins. "I accept
the challenge" He said.
Akasu laughed and she put the Fushikaka's tip to his throat. The
eyes in the blade all stared at the man. "You were a pain" she
said.
"Okay, okay now we are talking." He explained happily standing up.
"I'd like two million of it to be in beer. No three million. Screw
it two million in beer, one million in vodka, and two million in
wine. The rest in cash."
Kayn's eyes grew wide and he quietly muttered the amount to
himself. He shakily took a step out of the shadows he was hiding in
and immediately wanted to dive back into their safety, he felt
exposed and he didn't like it. "I-Is there, uh... Do you have..."
Kayn blushed as he kept on stuttering and trailing off but he took
a deep breath and managed to speak with his voice cracking only
once, "Are there any leads for us on where to search for these
swordsmen?"
Deep in the forest up on the mountains(will change if needed once a
map has been seen) a shadow passes through a nearby town
(Please ignore if the swordsmen aren't supposed to comment yet)

Cygna strolled along the wintery plains of her high arctic home,
barely heeding the cold.
Suddenly, a thief ran to her side, and attempted to grab the sheath
that contained her sword. Cygna narrowed her eyes in bitter
distaste and there was a blinding light. While the thief was
blinded, she gave him a powerful punch to the face. She was gone in
the next instant.
Once the shadow's visit is done, and has purchased some food, it
returns back into the forest. Namine takes what she purchases and
heads to a hidden temple in the mountains and goes back into hiding

(Sorry I was adding the map in. It's on the main post (Y). Thanks
TGGAkane for making it :) )
Hendrickson nodded to Duncan, "We can make that work." He then
directed his eyes towards the shy boy who came out of the shadows,
"Yes I do." He opened a book and put it on a table. He sat down and
opened it. "The files are a bit sketchy" He said
Kimaru listened quietly.
Akasu killed the man and watched as his body slumped to the ground.
The 15th eye in her sword opened. Then she sheathed her sword and
all the eyes closed.
The king started to speak, "The first swordsman is known as Akasu
Hirama. Sadly, Her sword file got ripped out or stolen. But her
swords name is the Fushikaka." He scratched his head
Kayn looked contemplative, he was slowly slipping into work mode
without noticing it. "What of the rest?" he asks, "What information
do we have on the rest of these swordsmen? Sending assassins
carelessly could certainly spell our doom but if we try to match up
potential counters to each sword holder then we might just be able
retrieve all the swords while staying alive to boot." Kayn's, now,
sharp eyes flit from the documents to the King's face.
"Also, isn't it important to know who we're workin with?" Ethan
asked. "Hi, I'm Ethan D. Darby, gambler and assassin, able to
control the wind." He announced.
The king nodded then turned the page, "Next is Venus, Venus obtains
the smog sword. The smog sword constantly produces a poisonous gas
that kills almost everything around it. It puts you in illusions
and then he can easily kill you. You must be careful with this one.
Little is known about Venus himself except that he lives in a
secluded forest west of Esthirel. It is supposed to be haunted" The
king said while the men from earlier put gas masks on the table.
"Next is Bloom, Who wields the Phoenix sword, This sword can
control fire in crazy amounts. her location is unknown" The king
said while clearing his throat.
