How much gold is a single soul worth? Well, unfortunately, not all souls are equal, and thus the value of a Soul depends on who is selling. Not only that, but the buyer is equally important. A pious man would charge almost nothing if his God wished to buy his soul, but would refuse all offers if Satan was. Let's be more specific then, shall we? How much gold would it take for a Royal Guardsman, someone well beloved, well respected, and who was in the prime of his life, to betray his liege, the one person he had sworn to protect at all costs?

Would you believe it only took a single coin?

Knowledge of Hell is reserved for few. People know about it in a general sense, or potentially in a religious sense, but few know the details of the monsters that lurk within. People may have heard of Akki, but information regarding Hell's royalty, beyond Lucifer, is limited. However, it is well known that those in charge of Hell possess immense power, and frequently are capable of bestowing this power on people or objects that they find useful, in order to make those things more potent.

Several ancient texts from regions around the world talk of an artifact, imbued with the power of one of the mighty demons of Hell, which possesses the power to bend the minds of souls of men to your whim. It causes people's priorities to invert, forcing people to kill those they love. Not only that, but the wielder has the ability to call Akki to him, dragging them out of the depths of Hell in his service. This item in question isn't actually that impressive in appearance. In fact, it's allegedly a single coin, thus earning it the name The Devil's Coin.

This item has been tracked throughout it's various appearances in history. People who possess it rapidly rise to power, only to quickly fall, usually dying in the process, once they become susceptible to the coin themselves, and devote themself to destroying everything that they have built. Power over others is great, of course, but not when it comes at a cost to yourself. And so, the Devil's Coin has a long, and blood splattered history. Every so often, however, it pops up, and there is a scramble to deal with it.

Word has started to spread that a Fullbringer, Thadeus Stinson, possesses the Devil's Coin. This knowledge may or may not be true. However, it must be acted upon, and immediately. In order to deal with the matter effectively, and to avoid conflicts of interest, Xcution, Soul Society, and Uzaki Enterprises, have decided to join forces, and send personnel to Thadeus' Las Vegas mansion, in order to infiltrate it and acquire the Coin. Individuals are to meet outside the compound, at 3 am, and sneak in, while minimizing collateral damage as best as possible. 

The consequences for failure, obviously, could prove dire.

[Jak Halcom]

Jak had left his motorcycle hidden in some bushes a few blocks away from the compound. When the upper brass of U.E. announced the mission and was taking a volunteer to go, Jak jumped on it the first chance he got. From what information they were able to get on the mission, he was after an artifact of hell. A single gold coin to be specific. Jak had more than a casual interest in anything connected to the akki and hell itself. 

Jak kept watch over the compound. He had been on several stealth missions before now, so this was nothing new to him. He started to make his way closer trying to stay as quiet as possible. Jak was tall at about six feet tall and fairly muscled from years of fighting. His skin was tanned from working out in the hot sun for hours at a time. He wore a black leather vest keeping his bare chest exposed as well as his arms. He wore a pair of torn blue jean pants, and a pair of black and blue sandals. 

His hair was black and fell to the back of his neck. There were several odd characteristics that would lable Jak as something more on the demonic side. His eyes were crimson and his ears were slightly pointed. The biggest give away was his right arm. It was an angry red color and hot to the touch. He also had a heavy black chain snaking up his arm. This limb was the curse that he was given at birth. The mark of a Nakkibakki, a half demon.

Jak waited keeping an eye on the compound at all times. He needed to wait for the rest of the team that was being sent to arrive. He was not told who was going to meet him which he thought was never good. He hated being surprised by who showed up because it always ended up being someone that he hated. He crossed his arms over his chest as he sat down in the shadows waiting. He closed his eyes stretching his senses out, as he waiting in a sort of mediation state.

Arashi had been contemplating the mission he was currently on for some time. The item they were after was surely powerful enough to warrant the Soul Society's attention, but why send him? Why not send someone with better stealth capabilities? Arashi could only surmise that this mention had need of somone with expertise in kidou, which wasn't all that surprising considering the item they were after. The Devil's Coin... It's reputation proceeded itself. An item so powerful that all sought after it for one reason or another, but every owner of this strange coin had died horribly... a terrifying concept.

Around 20 yards away from the mansions confines, hidden in the shadows, a man stood, apparently waiting on someone. Arashi figured correctly that this must be one of his human world contacts for the mission. Walking over to the man, Arashi moved to his side, with a good view of the mansion as he began to analyze what he could of it's defenses. It always helped to be prepared. No words were said between Arashi and the other man, simply a nod exchanged between the two. They both knew what the other was here for.

After finding out what he could of the mansions defenses, Arashi began to mentally go over his catalogue of Kidou techniques in preparation for the mission. 'This waiting is becoming tedious, the other members of group of ours party better arrive soon' Arashi thought to himself as he waited for the others of the group to arrive. Hopefuly by the time they did, he would have devised a suitable plan to invade the mansion. With his highly analytical mind on the task, Arashi felt sure he would succeed.

[✠Asmoskon Masurao✠]

Well it seemed that for once there was actually something interesting happening in the world of the living that Asmoskon happened to have learned about from Satsujun. The Head of Xcution had come to the Major of the organizations military approximately sixteen hours ago. He had brought with him a file containing all of the information that Asmoskon would need on what was going on. However, at first Satsujun had instructed Asmoskon to send a handful of the militaries finest on the assignment. Asmoskon had though through those that were at the top of his militia and only come to the conclusion that there were two individuals that could even hold there own on this type of assignment. Neither one however was fit for the field yet and while one had the personality and ambition to get it done her abilities were meant strictly for combat and nothing else at all. The other on the other hand could easily do an assignment that involved sneaking in somewhere and getting something of value without getting hurt. That individual though wasn't suited for the mission either due to his wild personality that even Asmoskon had difficulty controlling and had yet to tame completely.

That left only one true alternative which just so happened to be Asmoskon embarking on this assignment himself. It had been awhile since his last official assignment regarding Xcution the last one being a very top secret move against Soul Society. Satsujun thankfully was more then accepting to find that one of his two majors of the military was accepting of this problem and bit Asmoskon luck on the endeavor. Asmoskon made his way after that to the airport. Once there he made way to the private jet that he utilized when something regarded his immediately attention. It was just like when he had been a mercenary for hire . . well when he was only that one thing.

When he got onto the jet Asmoskon spent the first few hours that it took traveling from Japan to Las Vegas going through the reports and the details that Xcution knew on this Devil's Coin. Based on everything that he read Asmoskon knew that he would need to get in the building and do what he did best. . .leave nothing left. It was going to be like all those times when he sought after the Vandenreich. Survivors didn't exist not after they had clashed off against the Dark Archer. The remaining ten hours that it had taken to travel Asmoskon had been slumbering making sure that he would be one hundred percent for this assignment. The only thing that he didn't enjoy about it so far was knowing that he would have to baby sit others that believed they could offer him aid.

"Sir we're flying over Las Vegas now we should be to the airport in ten minutes." Asmoskon was sitting in the seat by the window on the right side of the jet and looking out starring down on the large city known across the planet. Standing up from his seat Asmoskon focused his reiatsu and in that moment the file that had been full of detailed reports on this assignment burst into flames making sure that if the jet was compromised after his leave then nothing could be found out. "That won't be necessary." Walking over Asmoskon did what no normal human would ever dare. The one eyes Quincy pressed the button on the wall and the landing door of the jet slid open and he jumped from it.

Descending from the jet was something that Asmoskon had almost always done when operating as a mercenary for it was a method that soldiers had to utilize when in enemy territory and now it was just a habit and one that brought a fair deal of delight to his expression. Falling from thousands of feet down to the massive city Asmoskon looked through it using his vision and knowledge of the specific buildings location to narrow where he would actually need to land. Thankfully it only took him about a minute to find the building and by that time he was still barely high enough to alter his course and descend close enough that he wouldn't need to move far yet far enough away that even sentries slacking off wouldn't notice him. The Quincy focused his reiatsu and began to slow his descend making air grounds as he fell. It took some effort but over the course of a few minutes Asmoskon managed to land on the surface of a building about a block away.

Now the Quincy was on the street moving through the crowd and finally coming to the building. He felt a few other reiatsu signatures and one that was familiar. Of course that half demon brat would be here Asmoskon's luck was never good and having that brat here was only going to be a hindrance to this mission. Xcution had sent in one of the few big guns it had at the moment and Asmoskon in truth wanted to get this part of the mission done as swiftly as possible so he made his way towards the building with his hands in his jeans pockets. He passed by the demon boy Jak as he walked forwards. "Turn back now I don't have time to baby sit you."

[☾ Aevus | Umbra ☽]

A gush of wind fell through the dark hairs of a pale faced reaper. The air carried dirt and sand, gently swaying before him as his sapphire visage lingered to a mansion below the ridge just a few leagues away. Like that of an elongated face, the large wall posed more of hindrance to him. Being that the gate itself was its mouth and what dwelled within those bowls was his target, that strange yet dangerous artifact. He wasn’t alone in this endeavor but he would remain aloof to those that were also on this mission and try and stay out of there sight for the time being.

This night was littered with many possibilities and he didn’t want to be imposed upon working with a group of potential strangers from the get go. A sigh fell loosely from his lips as he kneeled there, his Zanpakuto and his artifical blade strapped to him tightly like they were a part of him, two extra hearts beating in unison with his own. He kneeled there for a time, making passing notes about what potential places he could sneak in through, the nooks and crannies, the dark places he could hide and attack from.

But yet he was also making sure to spot every single guard on station in the place, that is if there were any guards posted in such a deserted area. Yet with such rich homage there would be sure to be some nasty defenses and only an idiot would keep their safe open to the public. Aevus had never been to a desert before but he was already disliking the feeling of the place. Not the isolation of course, he enjoyed that solitude, but it was the vastness of it alone that unsettled him.

Nothingness spread as far as the eye could see, lights spread thin against the darkened horizon, the milky way burst through the sky above him. It was a lonely place with lovely sceneries, cool and desolate but yet the man felt no comfort there besides the company of the night and the spirit that confided in him. “Be ready Lumina.” Aevus would whisper lightly under his breath as his fingers briefly brushed his Zanpakuto. A humming sung from his blade, the silver lining of a she-wolfs irises pierced his mind and he could briefly sense a nod in agreement.

[Amagai Kuchiki]

As the four gathered outside, it was obvious that some of them knew each other. The Soul Reapers both represented the interests of the Gotei 13, and the two Human World Dwellers represented the two biggest factions of the Human World: UE and Xcution. However, it was likely that although they all knew they had to work together, they might have problems with each other. They'd have to make sure that those problems didn't interfere too greatly with the mission, as this one would be a difficult one. 

Out of the four of them, none of them were really masters at Energy Sensory, but it was obvious that there were spiritually aware people in the house. How many, and of what strength, none of them were capable of telling, due to their lack of energy sensory. Funny how that was sometimes an actually relevant skill, huh? The mission information was limited to Thadeus possessing the Coin, beyond that, details were shoddy at best, so they were working with very little.

The mansion was more of a compound, actually. It had a large wall, about 8 feet tall, surrounding the plot of land, which took up about 3 city blocks on all sides. The mansion sat in the middle of the plot, and there was a lovely walkway that went from the gate on the south end of the plot, to the mansion's door. All four of the team members stood nearby the south gate, although none of them had approached it yet. The gate itself was impressive, made of relatively durable metal. If the players were taking an obvious approach, there was a doorbell, or they could just knock down the gate, although that would take some solid strength (200).

If they planned to sneak in, that was another question altogether. There would most likely be security cameras everywhere, and Thadeus would be a fool not to also set up spiritual detection. The house itself was three stories, and there were lights on on all floors. Beyond that, none of the team could detect anything out of the ordinary about the mansion, not at least with their current level of senses, and focus. So how would the players proceed? Would they go for a frontal assault? Or sneak in? Or do something utterly unexpected? Xcution, UE, Soul Society, none of them had specified actions, other than try not to kill the occupants of the house, and to retrieve the Coin before it changed location.

(Again, there is no post order. My internet is ? until July 10th, so although I'll try to post, I can't guarantee anything. However, please try to be punctual about posting to this thread nonetheless. If my next post is on July 10th, and some people haven't posted, those who haven't will be kicked. There really isn't an excuse)

"Hey" Grabbing the attention of the rest of the group, "For one, my name is Arashi, I'd like to know yours?" After hopefully recieving the names of his comrades, Arashi attempted to start a planning session before they all rushed in, "So what's our plan going to be?" Giving the group a look over, Arahsi continued " I mean, I personally don't have any stealth skills, the closest I have to that would be a few illusions." Looking around for a moment, Arashi turned back towards Asmoskon and Jak, "Although I thought another shinigami was being sent with me, he may or may not have some stealth skills, I have no idea where he's gotten off too... Anyway, if either of you have stealth or infiltration skills, that would be a boon, barring that, I have come up with a rudimentary plan..."

Making a rough diagram of what could be seen of the mansion, Arashi continued speaking "What I propose is an all out offensive, except for one part. Firstly, Asmoskon and I will enter through the front door, seeing as I am a kidou specialist, and he's a quincy, we probably have the most ranged firepower. The two of us can cause as much destruction and havoc as possible, distracting the inhabitants fo the mansion while Jak, and possibly the otther shinigami enter over the walls to the east, and flank any opposition Asmoskon and I come across."

"What do you think? Asmoskon? Jak?"

[✠Asmoskon Masurao✠]

Asmoskon took notice of the grounds making sure that he knew where everything was that he could see. This part of the mission called for one thing which just so happened to be collecting the coin from the current holder. The only thing that came with a grain of salt was the fact that it seemed Asmoskon would have to deal with a squad of random additions that weren't necessary for the success of this mission. Asmoskon was more then enough to succeed at this stage the aid of these two Shinigami and Jak was only going to slow him down and since none of them were in his own military there was no reason to allow such a thing. Maybe if it was a squad of trainees Asmoskon would be much more willing yet that wasn't the case.

That was when the Shinigami that Asmoskon hadn't met yet began to speak and declared himself to be of noble birth. One of the four noble families in Soul Society which also happened to be the only one that Asmoskon had never met a Shinigami from in the past. Arashi also seemed to have an interest in what everyone's name was Asmoskon however didn't wish to deal with them. Instead as Arashi went over his believed battle plan Asmoskon began to walk towards the wall of the compound. These additions were just a hindrance and Asmoskon wasn't going to waste time on baby sitting.

Suddenly the long black bow materialized in his left hand and Asmoskon held it out in front of him. Moving his right hand to the bow string Asmoskon pulls back the string to the edge of his lips and suddenly four arrows seem to manifest between his fingers and thumb. In the next moment Asmoskon let his arrows free from the prison of his draw and each flew forwards at the wall moving through the air with a curve and separating from one another. It would be a fraction of a second until they hit the wall with a thud each one piercing through it easily. The arrows hit in a square formation so there were four small holes in the wall that went all the way through. It was then that Asmoskon moved his hand forwards and the wall started to quietly crack.

It was then that everything inside the square formation cracked apart and Asmoskon allowed it to fall tot he ground. He had formed his own entrance into the compound one that wouldn't be heavily watched like the main gate. Although he had caused some noise it wasn't enough to alter any guards posted more then about thirty yards away. "Just do what you can to stay alive I don't want Kazura and Hotaru provoking a fight if you underlings die here." With that Asmoskon stepped through the new hole in the wall with his bow in his left hand and his eyes glaring over the inside for guards.

[Jak Halcom]

Jak didn't bother responding to the Quincy. He knew why he was here and, he was going to do his best to try and not kill the Quincy. The only thing keeping him back was the fact that Hotaru was a close friend, and he was sure that, as much as he would hate to think it, he might need the Quincy later on. Jak saw the shinigami come up and his fist flared again. Luckily he was able to ignore the pain and keep focused thinking that he would need everyone he can get.

"What I propose is an all out offensive, except for one part. Firstly, Asmoskon and I will enter through the front door, seeing as I am a kidou specialist, and he's a quincy, we probably have the most ranged firepower. The two of us can cause as much destruction and havoc as possible, distracting the inhabitants fo the mansion while Jak, and possibly the otther shinigami enter over the walls to the east, and flank any opposition Asmoskon and I come across. What do you think? Asmoskon? Jak?" Jak liked this plan. It put Asmo in the center of attention and the greatest possibility of getting killed without him.

It seemed the Quincy was doing that even if it was not part of the plan. He blasted the wall and strolled in. "Just do what you can to stay alive I don't want Kazura and Hotaru provoking a fight if you underlings die here." Jak laughed a little patting the shoulder of the shinigami making the plan. "Hey better get going I will see ya on the other side." He stopped and looked at the Quincy's back. "Hey don't get yourself killed. I don't want to be the one Hotaru comes to to cry mourning your dumb ass." Without waiting for a retort, Jak ran around the wall of the compound reaching the eastern wall. It was a cake walk to climb over and start making a bee line for the house. He would duck behind any cover he could find if any guards came by though.

[Amagai Kuchiki]

Surprisingly, they would find that there were no guards outside the house. That wasn't to say that there was no security, but if there was any, it wasn't visible. Asmoskon surgically destroyed a section of the wall, and slipped inside, while Jak chose to climb over one of the walls and head towards the house, sticking to cover as best he could. Arashi and Aevus hasn't started moving yet, but they'd have plenty of time to do so, if they needed to. Which they would, of course, if they wanted to infiltrate the house.

The infighting amongst the group was a worry, but hopefully would be resolved by the time the mission called for it. The mansion itself was large, three floors tall, and very few windows. Most likely, there was a fear of people looking in. However, there was one large window, gazing into the kitchen, which looked like it had been occupied recently, but was not currently in use. Most likely, dinner had just been cooked. Which means that the target was probably eating somewhere in the house.

Finding Thadeus Guile was the fastest way to find the coin, as searching the entire house most likely wouldn't be a feasible option. Since the kitchen was on the first floor, it was likely that the dining room would be as well, and in fact if one of the people looked through the window, or approached the house, they would hear the noise of people talking, coming from the room right outside the kitchen, which was right nearby the front door.

Voice wise, if they listened carefully, they could hear three voices. One of a man, one of a woman, and one of a young child, a girl perhaps. The information didn't say anything about Thadeus having a family, but this was nothing but good news: he wouldn't dare risk fighting in the presence of his family. And Jak and Arashi's energy sensory showed that most of the reiatsu in the house was Fullbringer reiatsu, with a tad bit of Hell reiatsu, and...maybe Quincy reiatsu? Most likely one of Thadeus' body guards. That would be a slight concern.

[Deleted]

Seeing Asmoskon simply brush him aside, Arashi was more than slightly offended. Seeing as he had been completely reasonable, and the quincy had been, to put it simply, a douchebag. 'Fine," Arashi thought "Let's see Mr. 'Super Quincy' do this mission by himself." Walking into the wall after Asmoskon, Arashi decided he wouldn't be lending much, if any, aid to the man. Keeping his senses alert, Arashi headed towards the dining room window, hoping for a peak inside. He was as stealthy as he could, limited as it was, tiptoing towards the window and masking his spiritual pressure.

He was surprised at the lack of security, Arashi would have thought that Thadues would have at least some outward defenses... Other than the wall of course, but then, just about anyone could have gotten past that, even a regular human could have simpl climbed over. Something wasn't adding up, and Arashi didn't want to find out what it added up too. He resolved to stay as stealthy as possible, and to stay cautious. Reaching the house, Arashi focused his energy sensory inside, feeling out the room before he peaked in.

most of the reiatsu in the house was Fullbringer reiatsu, with a tad bit of Hell reiatsu, and...maybe... Was that Quincy reiatsu? The hell reitsu was the most disconcerting to Arashi, he had never faced a Hell race in combat, and he wasn't exactly looking forward to it. The quincy reitsu was next on the list, most likely a bodyguard of some sort. On the bright side, Arashi could hear the voices of children, and at least one woman. This was good, while Arashi would never lower himself to harm children, Thadeus didn't know that, and no decent many would allow his flesh and blood to come of harm.

Finally peaking into the room, Arashi swuinted through the window carefully, trying not to let his face be seen. Hopefully those inside would be to distracted to notice him.

[Jak Halcom]

Jak took advantage of the lack of security on the other side of the wall. He smiled thinking that this was going to be easier than he had originally thought. As Jak approached the house, he could sense the spiritual presences of fullbringers for the most part and even a Quincy. He really hoped that he would be the one that would take down the Quincy, he never liked them and despised them openly, especially Asmoskon, but he would need to but his hatred of him aside for the mission.

Jak made a bee line right for the door nearest him. He assumed from the smell that it was the back of the kitchen. A little obvious, but it was the closest thing to get him out of the open. He went to the door and went for the handle. If it was unlocked, he would open the door quietly and slip into the building as quietly as possible. If the door was locked however, he would knock loudly to see if he could get someone to open the door. If no one came within a few seconds, he would kick the door in and quickly make his way inside knowing they would have heard him.

[☾ Aevus | Umbra ☽]

A shadow loomed over the land and his dark lit silhouette would dance under the brilliance of the moon. Stepping forth against the dust and dirt Aevus would let loose a hefty sigh as he brought himself to the east side of the wall. The destruction that the quincy had laid waste had made for quite a nice distraction and it had seemed he was with another Shinigami, meaning that this quincy wasn’t an enemy. He couldn’t distinguish the two from this distance and thus didn’t recognize them.

Swiftly moving up the wall utilizing advanced air ground he would quickly take note of the demon as it led itself to the nearest door. Jak his name was or at least he thinks that is what it called itself. He couldn’t be so sure, he wasn't one for remembering names of those around him, expecially creatures such as this demon. It would be almost like remembering the name of a strangers pet dog or cat, it was completely pointless. His lazy visage sheltered the creatures form as it paraded across the grounds on the mansion and he would follow throughly with seemingly no interest at all.

'This demon again, could he be after the coin?’ The Shinigami would think to himself gripping the wall with his right while repositioning his Zanpakuto for better gripping with his left. The thought of killing the demon did come up but he wouldn’t move upon that thought unless he knew the entirety of why such a devious creature was even here to begin with unless it had something to do with acquiring that accursed coin. But yet again, he had been in previous places and was of some help.

Maybe he had this demon all wrong, maybe he was more like that boy from the 7th squad and he was made up of something else and not a pure bred. No guards stationed around him or from what it seemed, but yet again he didn’t know what exactly he was dealing with. Cameras, reiatsu sensing survivance could easily find the group out. From the noise the Quincy made it obvious that the mansion was under attack and he was sure someone was bound to check out the disturbance.

In a flash he would dart across the air, still utilizing advanced air ground as he did so. Movement across the lawn was too obvious even with a distraction well at least in Aevus’s point of view and he still didn’t completely know why the demon was there. Taking out a pair of X-Ray Specs v3 in the form of contact lenses he would peer into the walls of the mansion to get a better idea of what laid before him. It had seemed that he had bought something helpful after all. The artifical Zanpakuto was more of a tool he had bought to keep him from relying on his Zanpakuto in fear of meeting the golden gaze of the yellow eyed Vixen within.

[✠Asmoskon Masurao✠]

Stepping through the entrance that he himself had just crafted into the security wall of this compound Asmoskon looked across the openness of the area. It was somewhat disappointing that there were no sentry guards posted on the wall or for what he could see the top of the building. There didn't seem to be any kind of security in the form of an entity that he could lay his gaze upon. He did take notice of the other individuals movements however utilizing what they were doing to find his own information as well. First was the half demon Jak who went at the mission like some boy. Going right for the door and knocking on it like some little girl scout.

The Shinigami were of little concern while one of them did move towards and window and based on the fact that he wasn't looking over and into the window Asmoskon assumed that he was listening to the inside. That made the scent he was picking up right now more logical. Asmoskon could smell all of their food and while he was rather famished from avoiding dinner this evening right now wasn't the time to think freely on an appetite. Asmoskon scoped out the building one more time and saw there was a window on the floor above parallel to the one the Shinigami was listening through.

Asmoskon had to infiltrate this building and make sure that Thadeus couldn't get away. Asmoskon held his longbow out in front of him while staying stationary about twenty feet away from the building making sure he was in the darkness. He held his bow in his left hand and then turned said arm away from him towards the . . gate? His right arm moving backwards to the top of his back an with that the sound of the quiver going to work started. Asmoskon pulled an arrow from the quiver and maneuvered his right hand across his body. His gaze still set on the window making sure that after he did this none of them would rush out through there or notice him.

Nocking the arrow and pulling to full draw Asmoskon's right index and middle fingers tips touch his lips the fletching of his arrow in front of his nose. The scent of cinnamon something he loved and had marked his arrows with upon creation. Releasing the beauty of his craftsmanship from the prison of his grasp only to hear the sound of the explosion as the arrow made contact with the gate and blew the entire thing into bits. Asmoskon rush forwards just as the arrow left his hand though and jumped upwards making an air ground below his feet as he rushed upwards to the window on the second floor.

When the actual explosion of the arrow occurred Asmoskon had already swapped out his longbow for his short bow and it was in his left hand while he jumped towards the window. He fired off a single arrow from the short bow which pierced through the window with minimum sound. Asmoskon smashed through the window while the explosion occurred hoping that the diversion would cloak his entrance. He rolled through the window and onto the floor using his acrobatic talents to touch the floor with his right hand and then bend backwards onto his feet easily preventing a large amount of noise. Now everyone would know they were under attack, but hopefully none would know that the most dangerous intruder was right above them.
