-==== An Anal Introduction ​====+==== The Sloth fails to rob the Banker ==== 
 + 
 +In a wicked age, at the Banker'​s gilded home, a party is being prepared in honor of [[#Leto]], the prodigal son returning from his monastic education on the other side of the continent. The air is thick with scents of foods, perfumes and incense, with a slight but pronounced undercurrent of dog shit. 
 + 
 +As the Banker descends into the vaults, as he does every day, he can't help but notice a sloth-suited burglar in the process of cracking his safe, and immediately releases the hounds. [[#The Sloth]] has prepared booby traps that rope the dogs and stop them from harming him, but the Banker cuts the ropes, subdues the thief and ties him up at the entrance to his house, as a warning to future robbers who are very soon to come. 
 + 
 + 
 +==== Overheard at the party ==== 
 + 
 +A few hours later, when the party is in full swing, [[#Kakeya Soichi]] is talking to his hostess, the slightly drunk [[#Delilah Corday]], who complains about the missing aristocrat who is giving her husband such a hard time, and about her husband being too busy to give her a hard something else. Kakeya offers his assistance, and the two pencil in a tryst. 
 + 
 +Kakeya then approaches Leto, the guest of honor, and tells him he has heard that Leto is interested in fertilization. Leto points at Delilah and says she is already in his pocket, but Kakeya explains he was referring to plants, and continues to demonstrate his powers in that field by magically causing a small potted plant to bloom and grow and become a small tree in a matter of seconds. Leto immediately steals the plant along with its pot and the two pencil in a work meeting. 
 + 
 + 
 +==== Brotha fails to rob the Banker ​====
  
-In a wicked age, at the monastery ​of the five winds, [[#leto]], the loved head of the order of the blameless blade is sitting comfortably in his chamber when an unexpected guest shows up. The chamber is a luxurious one, almost decadent, filled with gilded knickknacks and the overpowering scent of intoxicating incense.+Just about then, a big carriage breaks through ​the wall of the feasting hall. And while everyone are distracted, [[#Brotha the Coachman]], carrying a heavy rope, sneaks into the vaults. He attaches one end of the rope to the safe, while the other is attached to another pimped up carriage that should be able to pull it out of the wall.
  
-The guest, one [[#N!xau Xi]], is small and dark, but as soon as he sees Leto a huge smile of recognition brightens his face. He has apparently come a long way in search of Leto, and so he approaches ​him nimbly, places ​his right hand on Leto's chest and starts chattering in a foreign tongue full of clicks and other weird sounds (signifying nothing).+The Banker, however, who installed further alarms since the incident with the Sloth, stops talking to Leto, sics the hounds and cuts the tight rope, which backlashes and hits Brotha in the face. Leto wishes to go with him to the safe, but the Banker shuts the door in his face and locks it from the inside, preparing to watch his dogs tear the robber into bits.
  
-Leto expects his magical shield to kick in and zap the intruder, and is quite surprised when nothing of the sort happens. He is even more surprised when the stranger misinterprets ​his shocked expression for an inviting one, and with no further ado turns him around ​and bends him over with the impurest ​of intentions.+Leto is unhappy with this, so he crashes ​the door with a dim-mak, which the exhausted Brotha promptly uses to escape. The angry Banker sics his dogs at Leto, and while Leto himself manages to bolt and run away, the dogs tear pieces ​of his magical armor away, and all the pages peal away and fall to the ground.
  
-Miraculously, ​the seem of Leto's pants - as if sensing the intrusive nature of N!xau'​s move - chooses that exact moment to pop and tear, leaving Leto exposed. Leto attempts to wiggle out of the way, but the stranger finds this little dance most appealing, ​and pulls a menacing manhood from his loincloth.+The Banker collects ​the fallen leaves ​and places them in his vault.
  
-At the last moment Leto manages to stop the assailant and escape with his honor intact. Sort of. He is either wounded or exhausted. Oren needs to decide which. 
  
 +==== Lord Steal'​s betrayal ====
  
-==== Protecting ​the Pervert ====+On a fine afternoon, Lord Iwan Steal pays the Banker a visit. On his way in he encounters the Sloth, still tied to the fence, who is able through his bondage to offer a calling card. After a prolonged negotiation Steal agrees to transfer half his treasury to the Baner'​s care, with the  sole condition of being shown the Banker'​s security measures, including a visit to the vault.
  
-In the middle of the monastery, which is a model of Chinese architecture, stands out the haunted Gothic tower, formerly ​the workspace of [[#Einshem the Sorcerer|Einshem]], the evil sorcerer. In the years since Einshem'​s disappearance, the tower has become a haunted site, full of ghosts condemned ​to reenact their own grisly murders, and was rented by [[#Old Missus Chompy|Einshem'​s ​dear old mother]] ​to one perverted calligrapher who goes by the name [[#Mr. Herbert Cornelius Belvedere]].+And so it is that a couple ​of days later Steal arrives with a wagon (driven by no other than a poorly disguised Brota) to unload said treasury into said vault, but as the doors open the Sloth shows up and emerges from his suit, all white and angelic and bloody fast moving. However, the divine music that almost seems to accompany this revelation comes to an abrupt stop when the Banker'​s ​hounds show up, tackle him to the ground and drag him through the mud.
  
-Into his study steps [[#​Radekard]],​ member of a bizarre team of martial artists, hell bent on revenge for [[#Bolo]], their fallen comrade. And seeing how said comrade was murdered in this very tower, ​and seeing how his ghost is said to haunt it, this seems to him as a good place to find leads. The room is soiled ​and stained with papers, inks and god knows what, and when Radekard looks at some of the papers the characters seem to pop out and wiggle and give him an uncomfortable feeling, but he gets over it, and tries to secure ​the cooperation of Herbert, being the local expert on the subject of ghosts.+Brotha takes matters into his own hands and crashes his wagon into the house. He suffers internal injuries ​and just barely manages ​to run away. On foot. The Sloth uses the diversion to slip away from the dogs and run into the house, and supposedly into the vault, but something - presumably related to Leto's (previously Einshem'​s) book - shoots him out of the front door, throwing ​him straight back to the dogs, who missed him dearly.
  
-Herbert agrees to help him, if Radekard helps him capture that strange pygmy who recently showed up, and Radekard almost agrees when a loud knock is heard at the door. It is Leto, the head of the order, demanding to know what is going on. Herbert is dumbstruck ​and Radekard ​pulls out a large fish from his backpack and prepares for battle. Leto knocks again, threatening ​to open the door himself, if it is not unlocked ​and opened to the count of five. Then he counts to five, unlocks the door with his own provate key and enters the room.+Lord Steal, in a last ditch attempt to save the situation, runs to the crashed wagon and pulls out a bomb he prepared. It was originally meant to help him crack the safe, should the need arise, but now he just picks it up and throws it at the Banker. And misses.
  
-"What are you doing to that poor woman with your fish?​!"​ he demands. "Madam, please step behind me and I shall protect you". Radekard seems surprised - "fish is food", he explains, "and lady is a man". But Leto will have none of that, and demands that Radekard holds his business away from the haunted room. So Radekard waves the fish over his head and smacks Leto upside ​the head.+To appease the Banker, Steal claims the whole thing was only a test, and agrees to transfer the entirety ​of his treasury to the Banker'​s care. The Banker agrees, calls off his dogs and hands the Sloth his suit, but not before he snaps the suit's claws.
  
-Leto hits the ground confused, scales ​in his eyes and a fresh bouquet in his nose. He gets up and starts to run, but hits the wall instead. Radekard, never one to leave a job unfinished, comes behind him and starts bashing his head into the wall; but Leto's firewall (apparently finally over the shock N!xau gave it) zaps him hard and he drops to the floor.+The moral of the story, in case you've wondered, is that teamwork doesn'​t work without coordination, and that players are crazy motherfuckers.
  
-"That was very nice", Leto exclaims, helping Radekard up. "I will be very happy to discuss fighting styles with you, or anything else that interests you. But it can't be here. Come, surely there is another path to wherever it is you need to get to". 
  
-This all makes a lot of sense to the shocked Radekard, and the two new friends walk out together, leaving Herbert the Pervert to pick up his dropped jaw and have a little wank over his lost penguin.+==== The Fall of the House of Banker ====
