- Spoiler:
It had been a slow day in the city Roshu was staying in. Nothing exciting had really happened all day. The most exciting thing Roshu saw that day was a parrot that sold him an apple. Roshu figured he might be able to get a few unsuspecting patrons at the bar that he could help lighten their load that night. Roshu strode up to a street with several taverns stretched out along the sides. It was kind of early in the night for anyone to be hitting the rum-drinks too hard. Though as times had proven to Roshu before: Ones best bet is the loudest bar.
Roshu lit up a cigarette as he turned down the street. The first few bars were pretty low key. Then Roshu saw the bar he'd go to. Music hit the black haired wanderer like the knock of opportunity. Roshu took a drag of the cigarette and blew out the smoke through the mischievous grin of his. Outside a tavern called the 'Wailing Siren' stood a few men laughing at a joke another had just told. "Haul was good today!" One said. "Aye to that. We'll drink these places dry by mornin'" Another said. Roshu walked between them all heading towards the entrance of the tavern. The men moved in front of Roshu."Oy, this bars been bought out by our captain."The one said. "Pardons..." Roshu said, taking a drag of the cigarette before blowing the smoke into the men's faces. "But I happen to work here. So if you'd all like drinks for the rest of the night, I suggest you step aside." Roshu said with a fake smile. The men looked at each other, confused before stepping aside. "Thank you, Gents." Roshu said smirking as he walked in through the door.
This bar was full of celebrating pirates boozing it up as though there was no tomorrow. Roshu scanned the place for this "Haul" the guys outside were talking about. It wasn't hard to spot, there was gold coins and jewelry scattered all over the place. Though the real prize Roshu found was a hefty sized chest with gold pouring out of it seated near a large chair set up in the bar. Roshu went up to the barkeep and ordered the largest and strongest drink they had. Roshu took the drink through the crowd pick pocketing the pirates he bumped into. Roshu got to the large man that was seated in the large chair near the chest. " A mighty drink, for the mighty captain!" Roshu said holding the drink out to the man. The large man smiled and gladly took the drink from Roshu and started to drink. The man gulped down a swig "Ah, Thank ya... Who are ya?" the man asked. "Well you see, I'm-" "Hey, my gold's gone!" someone piped up. Roshu, rolled his eyes. " Aw crap." Suddenly the entire bar was focused on Roshu. The big man drew his sword and pointed the blade at Roshu. "Now hold on, you're forgetting something very important." Roshu said with his hands up. " Yeah? What's that?" The man said. Roshu mumbled something. The man leaned in closer "What was that?" Roshu grinned at the man. " Black Cloak!" Suddenly Roshu's body exploded with black smoke filling the bar with a cloud of ash. Roshu rushed on a stream of ashes and grabbed the chest, then bolted for the door.
The two men stood outside the door, as they had before. Suddenly Roshu bursts out from the bar, a black ash cloud swirls out. Roshu sprints down the street. "Black Rocket!" Roshu is launched by a black plume of ash jumping onto the roof of a nearby bar. With that he disappeared with the treasure, leaving the city later that night.
