Assassin Class/Level 2

Assassin Class' third quest, where the Chosen continues working on the assassination mission given Shii and Wallo.

Dialogue
Shii: So you're ready to continue your training, huh?
 * Assassin Quest!
 * Maybe later... - (Returns you to the Assassin menu.)

''If you choose the "Assasin Quest!" option'':

Shii: Zweiger, Zweiger... oh, HIM. Ugh.

Wallo: *chuckles*

Shii: *mumbles* I don't want to talk about it.

«You»: ...Huh?

Wallo: Heheh... Never mind, «You». Not a bad spot of work. The Rusty Dagger is on the south side of town. It's... to call it "rough" would be generous.

Wallo: I know, I know, you've seen your share of rough spots. But this one you can't just bash and smash your way out of. Remember, if your mark finds out you're after him...

Shii: Hee hee hee...

Wallo: ...Shii gets to have her brand of fun with you.

«You»: Point taken.

Shii gives a great big smile.

«You»: ...Put those away, Shii, that was NOT an invitation to stab me.

Shii stops smiling.

Shii: ...Awwwww...

Wallo: Shii, any words of wisdom for our new apprentice?

Shii: "Stab before you are yourself stabbed."

Wallo: ...Oh, well THAT'S just bloody BRILLIANT. I suppose that's supposed to prevent what happened to the last few students?

Shii: They didn't listen to me! If they did they would have stabbed before they got stabbed! I'll have you know that these words of wisdom have kept ME alive quite well.

Wallo: Whatever. «You», just get going, and remember, don't do anything that will make you too visible. Shoo.

Shii: Ohh, "just get going," THAT'S helpful.

Wallo: ...

«You»: ...Actually, it is. I'm going to do that before more daggers get drawn.

«Scene: Near Rusty Dagger»

Plan Your Next Move

Well, Wallo said I need to be subtle, invisible. Do I hide in the shadows, or under their noses? I can watch from the corner and sneak after them, isolate somebody and find out more... or I can pose as an employee, wait on their table, and see if I can overhear something useful. People see "hired help" like waitstaff as invisible, and I can use that to my advantage.
 * Lurk outside
 * Spy on them

Lurk outside= «You»: So last call is right about now...

A group of people exit the Rusty Dagger.

«You»: There we go. The blonde -- that matches what I heard about Zweiger.

Rogue: Good luck boss! Clean 'em dry!

Zweiger: No worries. If my luck doesn't hold, I have a few other ways to make sure things get taken care of.

Zweiger and the rest of the group move in separate ways.

Now's Your Chance!

Can you follow Zweiger's buddies unnoticed until you can get a few of them alone?

Difficulty: 91

Stat Used: Dexterity

Spy on them = «Scene: Inside the Rusty Dagger with an old man.»

Barkeep: A mugging, you say? Horrible, just horrible.

«You»: Yes... yes, he's in pretty bad shape so he went home to get a healing potion and some ice. He asked me to take over for his shift.

«You»: ... If he ever says differently, don't mind him. He was hit in the head a few times, so he is a bit addled.

«You»: Why, he even confused me, his old friend, for his attacker! That's really quite ridiculous.

Barkeep: Hmm... Well, it's late so you'd better get started.

The scene darkens and switches to a meeting with Zweiger, two rogues and an orc thug inside the Rusty Dagger.

Zweiger: Hey! Let's get another round of moglinberry juice here!

Fake it 'til you make it!

As the night marches on, you try to keep up with the customers and still stay near Zweiger's table to listen... Can you fake being wait staff well enough to keep up?
