He felt a little unnerved by Draht's grin. He didn't think anyone would be that happy to be able to kill their father. But he figured he was really, really pissed off.
"Women? I have no need for them, really. All I care about is the next job."
They walked for a while, and Slasher cleared his throat, glancing at Draht. "Know any Elves?"

"Elves? I know lots of Elves. They're my second favorite kind of woman. My favorite is a demoness"
Draht stopped as he reached a building that smelled heavily of Orc.
"This must be it. No other building has this kind of scent."
Draht kicked open the door and walked in slowly.

"Glad to see you appreciate my kind so much."
Slasher followed Draht to an Orc smelling house, and he watched as he kicked down the door. He stood there, staring at the doorway for a few seconds, before following.
"You don't knock much, do you?"

"What's knocking?"
Draht kept walking and removed the blades from his back with a grin. He cut down two guards that tried to charge him when a voice came from a balcony above.
"Draht, my son, welcome home! Have you come to see me?"
Draht growled and glared at his father.
"Don't talk to me like that you bastard! You're no father of mine. Yes, I came to see you. I came to see you and then kill you. Lokhar of the Wolfkin wants your head."

Slasher chuckled a little and followed the half Orc, putting on his katars. He watched as Draht cut down the guards with practiced ease.
The Orc was old, he could see that. However, he still had much strength left in him, and he cleared his throat to get their attention.
"Actually, Lokhar said that he'd know if the target is dead. He says that a head is too messy and all he needs is a finger. But yeah, we're here to kill you, old Orc."

"Fine you can take his finger, but I want his head as a trophy."
Draht cut down two more guards and charged up the stairs to the balcony. When he reached the top he stood before his father with a snarl on his face.
"I'll kill you!"
Draht charged his father and sent him crashing to the floor below. With a roar he jumped down and tried to impale his father on his swords. His father rolled out of the way and the blades met the floor. With another roar Draht ripped his blades from the floor and got ready to charge his father again.

"Oh, sure, leave the one-eyed demon with the guards..." Slasher muttered as he watched Draht run off. He took a deep breath and turned around to stare at the three guards there. "Alright, who's first?"
The guards charged at him, and he charged as well, blocking a sword and kicking an Orc in the gut, sending his entrails falling to the floor. One down already. He knocked the sword away and stabbed the second Orc in the face, before turning to face the last one. "One left."
He sensed something, and it was only by pure reflex that he managed to dodge out of the way of a sword swipe from his right, which only managed to cut his ear. There were four Orcs, not three. Curse his blind spot!

Draht glared at his father oblivious to everything else. With a roar he charged again and swung his sword catching his father across the chest. Draht grinned as he saw the blood running down his father's chest. With another roar he cut his father's thigh causing him to fall to his knees.
"Finally. I can finally kill you and have my revenge. With this blow I swear...I will send you to face the Gods!"
"Wait! Don't you want to hear about your mother? I can tell you things. Teach you things you'd never be able to learn anywhere else. Teach you about your family..."
"I don't care."
Draht slammed the sword through his father's back with a furious roar.
"I have done it!"

Slasher let out a growl as he held the last Orc in a choke hold, his katars discarded. "Cut my head off, will you?" he growled out´as he increased the pressure on the struggling Orc's throat. A satisfying crunch was heard, and the Orc sagged.
Slasher let out a sigh as he dropped the Orc and headed over to his weapons, picking them up and strapping them to his belt, before walking over to Draht, who just stabbed his father.
"You know, while you're at it, would you mind taking off his finger for me? And the head, if you wanna keep it."

Draht grinned and cut off one of his father's hands and his head. Handing the hand to Slasher he grinned.
"I wasn't sure which you wanted so I just took the whole hand." Placing his swords on his back he grabbed his father's head by the hair and walked out of the house.

Slasher nodded and took a leather bag out of his coat, grabbing the hand and putting it in the bag. "It'll do."
He followed Draht out of the house, before turning to him. "Alright, first, we head to Lokhar, and then, we part ways."
He liked Draht. He would've been good to have as a partner, but Slasher was an assassin, and Draht was a merc, two completely different professions.

"Fine. After we get paid I'm going back to the bar. I have a meeting with a beautiful Elven barmaid."
Draht kept walking swinging the head making blood land on a few passers by.
"It'll be a real shame for us to have to part ways, but such is life. If you ever want my help again you know where to find me."
Draht grinned and threw the head into the air catching it on his sword.

Slasher chuckled and nodded as they walked. He smirked when Draht impaled the head on his sword, and patted the half Orc on the back.
"Yeah, I'll find you in a bar with an Elf."

Draht grinned as they approached the house.
"I think you should do this. I don't want a hit out on my finger next."
Draht stood to the side and nodded to Slasher.

"Yeah, alright," Slasher said with a nod as he entered the house, passing the guards with a nod. He headed up the stairs and entered the room belonging to Lokhar, who gave off a menacing grin when Slasher entered.
"Slasher. I trust the job is done?"
Slasher nodded and opened the bag, taking out Draht's father's hand and throwing it onto Lokhar's desk. Lokhar nodded.
"Splendid! Did you do it by yourself?"
"No," Slasher said, shaking his head while Lokhar placed a big bag of coins on the table. "You didn't give me enough details on the target. Luckily, I found someone to help me."
Slasher took the bag and left without another word. When he got back out again, he reached into his coat and took out another bag of coins, tossing it to Draht.
"That's 120,000. I don't want to start splitting the bounty right here, so I already took the liberty of preparing some coins for you."
