A Villain´s Journal: Capítulo 3
Day Sixteen
Bah! Every thing is going on so well! That makes me sick! I want some challenges! These people… these filthy people are nothing but flies!
They can’t even add the sum up! I am the only one that benefits from all the recent… occurrences… Yet no one thinks that I am to blame.
Although, I have to say that Boris is doing a great job. Not bad for a Dwarf.
Boris asked me for some money. He wants to hire more men. I decided to give him the money. My power is growing. I need more cannon fodder.
Also, Boris has frightened my would-be competitors for Mayor. A little threat here, a broken arm there.
Fools! The lot of them! They deserve nothing but my hate!
I will become Mayor! It is just a matter of time.
Day Seventeen
Boris suggested me something very interesting… It would seem that there is a local Thieves Guild. Very resourceful fellows.
According to Boris, they could be a great asset to my cause. Rogues and thieves? Maybe… One should use every ally that one can gather.
I went to their Guild. Awful place! Full of mad men and wenches! It wasn’t very difficult to arrange a meeting with the leader. I offered them one hundred gold coins for their help. They accepted, and added that since I was such a good sport, that they would even offer me some of their Assassins as my personal guards.
I accepted the little gift. Assassins can be quite handy.
I have some mercenaries and assassins… I guess that I have all the protection that I need.
Ah! Protection is never enough!
Note to self: Stop making the maniacal laughter. People are beginning to notice.
Day Eighteen
I have used most of my money to buy a Golem. That’s right! A Golem! Golems are excellent guards. They don’t sleep, eat or show lack of respect. I need a loyal servant, in case something goes wrong.
I spent most of my money, though. Damn! I must gain some more! The tavern isn’t enough! Not anymore!
The job as a Mayor will be sufficient… I think… I must be elected! I must! Damn the stars, I must!
I have asked Boris and his men to rob some merchants on the road. To even kill them if they must. I bet that most of them will be killed…
Not a problem! I will state that as a Mayor, I will try to make this town safer! I love being a politician!
I only have to wait a few more days…
Day Nineteen
I can’t wait any longer! I have asked the local elders to change the date of the elections. I said that the town needs a leader and Mayor and that this current situation was only hurting the town and its people.
They agreed with me. How nice! Some charismatic words and they drool! Such naive minions!
Tomorrow is Election Day! Good! Good! I have asked Boris to stop robbing the merchants. I need them alive… I need their vote!
And tomorrow… I will be Mayor!
Day Twenty
The Election Day. My day! I won! I am now Mayor!
Counting the votes? Why? I was the only candidate! The others were… Indisposed!
So… I am now Mayor! I have moved to the Mayor’s house. Nice house! Needs some new furniture and rugs, but it will work fine!
I have also brought with me Boris and the rest of the lads. Including the Golem. The Golem never leaves my presence. He is my faithful and loyal servant. I don’t trust Boris nor the rest of the lads. But I trust the Golem… The same way I trust a plate or a chair.
I made a few speeches and decided to have a party. I want to be popular! I want to be respected! Let them have their pathetic fun!
Boris and I have some plans to discuss…
Day Twenty One
I decided to invest a lot in the Watch. Surprised? I want those men with good weapons and armours! They will defend me, their Mayor… And I want my men to be quite good at that!
I also invested some money in traps. I asked the assassins to secure my house. You never know! Crazy things usually happen to powerful people.
And I am really powerful!
Day Twenty Two
Oh, damn! Oh, damn! Oh, damn! Everything was going so well!
An Elven Ranger appeared out of no where. It would seem that she was an old friend of the ex-Mayor. She didn’t take lightly the news about his death.
Damn! My guess is that she suspects something.
She decided to investigate this matter, and went to hunt for the Orcs that killed the ex-Mayor. Alas, there are no Orcs.
What now? What now? She is going to leave soon.
I asked Boris for advice. Boris suggested that we ask the Thieves Guild for help.
Hummm… Why not? Why not, indeed?
Day Twenty Three
The Elven Ranger left a few hours ago. I already asked the Thieves Guild for help. They assured me that this problem will be resolved. I even paid them extra, to show them that I meant business.
Damn! Could the Thieves Guild really help me? Damn! I should have sent Boris and the lads. They would have done the job! The filthy Dwarf seems to be good at killing.
I guess that one should be patient. I must be…
Day Twenty Four
The Elven Ranger should have returned by now. What does this mean? Is she dead? Or is she plotting to kill me?
The Golem is standing right next to me… My loyal servant and powerful bodyguard.
What’s this? A commotion downstairs? What could it be?
…
Good news! A few wandering priests found the Elven Ranger’s corpse! It would seem that she was killed by some bandits… Full of arrows she was. Good! Good!
I drank a glass of wine and relaxed. I even decided to give more money to the Thieves Guild.
I wanted a challenge. Well, I had had one. And I had passed!
I didn’t expect another outcome.
