New Assignment

It seemed to the young paladin that the attacks were non-stop. Banny brought up his shield again as another wave of flame flowed around him. Once it had passed, he could see wisps of smoke curling off of the edges of his tabard, but the rest of his armor seemed none the worse for wear. Lowering his shield so that he could look over it, his eyes widened at the sight of a large bear barreling towards him. 

Banny braced his shoulder against his shield and planted his left foot just before the bear struck his shield. The paladin grunted. He managed to stay upright, but was pushed back several feet by the weight of the attack. Finally, Banny’s foot found a rocky outcropping. His backward momentum stopped, he then turned his shield slightly to the right and rolled to the side of the bear as it continued forward.

The bear planted its paws to stop and then turned to face its enemy. As the bear’s head looked back, Banagan raised his mace and brought it down on the bear’s flank. There was a flash of light as the weapon struck. The bear stood motionless, a dazed look in its eyes. Banagan raised his mace again and brought it down on the momentarily stunned bear. There was another bright flash as the mace struck the head of the bear. It rolled to the ground and was suddenly replaced by an unconscious Druid of the Flame.

Banny took a moment to make sure that the elf was not moving before looking around for any more attacks. The rest of the line seemed to be holding. It was then that he saw his Drakthyr friend, Skold, flying towards him.

“Are you okay?”

“I think so. Just a little singed.”

“That is good.” Skold leaned closer to Banagan and spoke quietly. “They let this one pass.”

“Huh?”

“Your acquaintance Jek. He and his friends let this druid slip by them. I believe it was intentional.”

“Of course,” Banny replied with a sigh.

“Should we report this?”

“There’s no point. They’ll deny it and we have no proof.”

“They are dangerous,” Skold said, his tone darkening.

“No disagreement.”

“You could end up injured again by them.”

Banagan was about to respond when a call rang out.

“Form up!”

Banny scanned the area and saw that the enemy was retreating. The line had held and as far as he could tell there were no significant injuries. Coming from the left of the line was the sergeant who had been given charge of this group of people. Once more he called for people to form up around him and everyone began to gather with their eyes glancing towards the direction that the druids had fled.

“Alright listen up! The powers that be have decided to push forward and go after that fel-blasted dragon!”

“Great!” Jek replied, elbowing his friends, all while nodding with a big grin. “We get to see some real action.”

“Maybe some day,” the sergeant responded, frowning a little at being interrupted. “But not today, grunt. You bunch will be guarding the rear, making sure that these druids don’t circle ‘round and trap the main force.”

Jek’s grin fell, obviously disappointed in the orders.

“Larethian, front and center.”

“Sarge?” Banny asked as he moved up through the crowd.

“You’ve been called up. One of the groups going in asked for you specifically.”

“Me?”

“Did I stutter? Get a move on! They’re waiting for you at the forward camp!”

“Right away, sarge.” Banny turned and moved back through the crowd. Skold patted him on the shoulder and wished him luck. As he left the group and went off to grab his mount, he noticed the dark look Jek was giving him. Shrugging, the paladin dismissed it and began a mental inventory of what he had and what he’d need.

I don't really think it's fair to dismiss the idea that that guy might have been framed for killing the CEO as like an unfounded conspiracy theory when NYPD has a proven history of planting/fabricating evidence on people. in 2011 there was a massive investigation of the NYPD and hundreds of cases against people were dismissed after a former police officer testified that they literally have a name for planting evidence on people: flaking. you cannot be out here acting like considering the possibility that cops who do this shit under normal circumstances might possibly also do it when they're under intense global pressure and scrutiny is the same as republicans thinking democrats run a secret pedophile ring in the basement of a pizza restaurant

y’all remind yourselves your account is your space. you’re not a performance. you’re not annoying by being yourself. if people aren’t into it they can leave. you’re not obligated to please anyone, especially at the cost of your personal expression. the worst thing you can do for your online enjoyment is to filter or censor yourself.

Red Hood: for fucks sake, get on with it already!

Tied up Nightwing: …

Robin: it rolled over there *points at the couch*

Two-Face: *bending down and struggling to reach underneath the couch*

Red Robin: here let me help you harvey

Robin: here I found it *gives a cent*

Two-Face: No! That’s just a regular cent mine was customized I had to pay hundreds of dollars for it to have skulls and—

Red Robin: wait is it one of those coins from youtube that has like cool art that has secrets you can do like press small buttons and open up a compartment?

Spoiler: that’s awesome, does yours do that? then I’ll help look for it
