For an hour she prepared for her mission. Outside Praetor Mizmal Avayo's palace on the Vullanese island of Noce, a rogue thief and hired assassin was about to strike big. She did not know who hired her, but it was through a letter. From the city of Wicksburg on the Boathrian island of Hantele Nira Abelsworth aka. Abigail the Rogue received some letters with cash from an anonymous figure. They promised to pay for her journey to this island while the conflict dragged on into the fourth year. She had to use a name he gave her, Mira Greenshade. Not only was Abbigail supposed to infiltrate this palace discretely, she was also supposed to poison or stab the Vullanese Praetor of this island. Those were the only words the anonymous pen pal wrote to her as orders.
Along the way she managed to recruit some people to aid her in this mission. Five different accomplices and allies with professions like rogue, smuggler, an urban ranger from Gaskouth Ladai, former Noce high priest now a merchant, and a Noble Lady who knows how to entertain. Their names and actions that helped her get this far will remain with her. Erizo Viscapanni the male rogue who got her equipment for this mission, and got the keys to the palace. That was not with out killing a few threats, and bribes to make copies of those keys. Lerris Al-Ganerez the smuggler who discretely transported her to Noce with Erizo. Najwa Abbas the Urban Ranger who tracked down the Praetor's whereabouts, henchmen, acquaintances, the Lady, and the high priest to help them. Former High Priest Fargoz Winnzel brought her inside the perimeter of the palace using his status and Merchant cart to hide her. Noble, Lady Sauffet acted as the hired entertainer whilst the real one was tied up in their hideout.
Hearing Sauffet's voice said she was very close to accomplishing her goal. So close to the target Nira prepared to take out her target once the rest of the room was cleared. Praetor Ereg Gadnosis of Noce city of Reegvah liked to be alone after a few hours of dining, socializing, and partying. The host, Avayo kept doing something to Sauffet that made her giggle, and scream with delight. According to her pen pal Gadnosis was a known slaver and human trafficker. That was known publicly. What was not known was his cruelty to specific slaves. Reports of certain slaves of status going missing became frequent since he became a Praetor. Even some Mages, and other arcane users went missing after being in his company. Nira aka. Abigail, Mrs. Greenshade had to kill him in order to end the disappearances. Climbing into the window of the room next to the scene of the party she hid under some furniture that had a coat of arms draped over it. She waited for everything to quiet down before making her move.
Fireworks burst outside drawing the party goers outside. It left Praetor Ereg Gadnosis alone in the room. Nira slowly came out of her hiding place with a drawn dagger coated in poison. As stealthily as possible she entered the room he was in. This Praetor sat in a chair facing the fireplace. He was reading something in his hands that appeared important. Curious Nira took her time before striking. She hovered over him as he read the document. Reading over his shoulder she read the words Vestrisians will attack soon. Prepare island troops for invasion. Ereg scoffed at this believing to be a joke. He went on to mock the document not believing in some imminent invasion coming. Those were the last words he spoke before she drover her weapon into his chest from behind. When Nira pulled the poisoned weapon out sirens went off signalling attack. She ran back to the window hoping it wasn't her who triggered an alarm. On the roof she witnessed a dark sky full of aircraft dropping bombs on the city. AA guns went off, bombs exploded upon impact, and fires sparked all over the city. Noce was about to be invaded.
