Robert Bandano woke up. Another boring day in his little outpost of Ardougne's city border. He was a guard, but never left the building. He would only be permitted into Ardougne when asked to be, or in dire emergency. Today a dire emergency knocked on his door. Actually, five of them did. "Robert Bandano, I presume. I'm Tony de Fillo, and my accomplices are Farrell, Darako, TzHaar-Kot-Tok and Lobstorr. We are giving you an offer you can't refuse. Seriously. If you refuse, your life is at steak." "You might as well come in. Grab a seat, and I'll make you all some tea." "I'll have three sugars."
