*** All right this is my first story so I'm sorry if it isn't very good.
It's based on D&D and if you want a character in the story just make a
third edition D&D character and put it in a review. I'll try to put it in.
I can't promise that every character will be put in. Oh and no power
players. Level 1 to 10 only.***

CHAPTER 1
Kriff looked around the corner of the alley into the busy street. Behind him his friends where looking around nervously for any city guard who might find the four street urchins suspicious and might investigate. Finally Kriff spotted a merchant without guards and silently gestured the others to come closer. "All right Kriff, who's the mark?" Ember whispered. "The merchant, halfway across the street, red and blue clothes, overweight, balding." He whispered back. The others nodded when they had spotted him. "All right, Ember & Runt you'll bump into him and then Anya and me will cut his purse. The other children nodded. All right here we go!
Rudolf Vre'star was very pleased with himself. After a day of work at the bazaar he'd managed to sell most of his merchandise. He'd grinned to himself when he thought about all those nobles who had paid his high prices. He had bought the merchandise on the marketplace in undercity for about one tenth of the price he sold them for. Tonight he was gonna buy ev... ungh, something bumped into him and fell down. Surprised he looked down and saw a young girl lying on the street. "You stupid street rat, watch where you're walking." The girl started to cry and a little boy came running towards her, "Sis, He Sis are you all right?" "th..th...that man called me a street rat." She sniffled. People where drawn towards the noise and where pointing angry fingers towards Rudolf.
Anya and Kriff watched the people gather around the trio and silently left the alley. They squirmed their way trough the masses towards the merchant.
Rudolf was annoyed! No annoyed was not harsh enough he was mad. These children where ruining his reputation. Suddenly he felt something moving at his side but he decided to ignore it and handle these more pressing matters. If his reputation were ruined in the undercity he would have to pay much higher prices at the marketplaces there. He suddenly realised that the two kids where running away. Then he realised he'd been tricked. He felt panic surge trough him as he felt for his purse,. GONE!!!! With a bellow of rage he went into pursuit of the two children.
"Faster Ember, he's coming after us!"
"I know Runt, I'm not blind. We gotta split up."
"All right I'll meet you at the Guild House."
"Don't get caught Runt!"
"Good luck Ember!"
And with that the duo split of into two side streets. Rudolf was confused for a second but then decided to follow the more easily to spot girl.
Ember cursed: "Damn, he's coming after me. She knew that she could easily outrun him but she had to be care.. WHAM!!! She ran right into a huge man who instantly grabbed her and carried her to the merchant. She kicked and screamed but he simply put his hand over her mouth and hitting him was like punching a brick wall. So she stopped and just hung there over his shoulder totally humiliated. She just hoped that none of the guild could see her now.
Rudolf came to a sliding halt when he saw that one of his servants, a huge man named ox, had captured the girl. He led ox and the girl into an alley and he pushed a dagger against her throat. "If you scream I'll kill you, understand?" he whispered into her ear. She merely nodded. "Alright, remove your hand Ox." The huge man removed his hand and she shot him an angry look. He merely grinned.
"How did you know I was gonna be near him?" She asked.
"See these little rings we wear? They are rings of telepathy, I warned Ox here that you were coming his way and that he should be ready for you. Now little girl, where is my gold?"
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"Look girl, don't make me damage you, you'll probably bring up a pretty good price at the bazaar. So just tell me what I want to know and I'll try to find a good owner for you."
"Forget it, " She growled at him. "Damn, I gotta get out of here or I'll end up a slave girl."
"Not talking huh. Well then, I can't start hitting you since then the money I could get for you will lower and if I bring you to the city guard. So I will lock you into my house and sell you tomorrow."
"What? No, you can't."
"Well then you would have to tell me where you are meeting your friends. And maybe, just maybe I'll let you go."
She bit into her lip and considered her choices for a second: "Well let's hope I get a proper master", she said with a smile."
"Curse that little brat." Rudolf shouted after he came out of the basement where he had locked her in. He had to think this over. Hmmmm, maybe the other child would come to save her. Then he could capture that child too and either get his gold from him or sell him to at the bazaar. "Ah well, I'll have Ox set out some guards and everything will be fine."
