The Defias BrotherhoodEpisode 0: Cargo
Episode 0: Cargo. Four gold, twenty-three silver. That was how much they wanted from us. We didn't have it. Our whole harvest wouldn't have fetched two gold. “Last of the Lion's Pride brandy.” “Captain's not looking. Good timing.” “Bought Sally a ring. I'm asking her when we dock.” “Sally from Goldshire? She's got three already.” “You say another word and I'll kill you.” “I'm just joking.” “SHIP! Ship off the bow!” “I've been waiting for this moment.” The Juggernaut, the Brotherhood's warship. “My hands are shaking...” “Are you ready?” “Mrglglglgl!” “Set them ablaze.” “WE'RE UNDER ATTAAACK!!!” “...VanCleef.” “BLADE FLURRY!” “I got you.” “Nice throw, Cookie!” “Light, grant me your might.” “Watch this, boss.” “...oh.” “Seal of Command.” “Judgement.” “TOBIN!” “EDWIN VANCLEEF!” “Come up and face me, stonemason.” “Or are you like this rat, who only tries to stab people in the back?” “You will pay for this.” “That rat? Nothing of value was lost.” “By the Light—” “Well done, brothers.” “We will bring it to the boss!” “Stormwind owes us.” “And the Brotherhood always collects.” “Three more chests of it... The Crown's been sitting on a fortune!” “Hold on...” “Hey... come look at this.” “Crown seals... We should get the boss first.” “Bah. He'll want it open anyway.” “...You absolute ox.” “Boss!” “There's something below you should see.” “It was chained down, Boss. Crown seals.” “Show me.” “What are they, Boss?” “Interesting.” “Gilnid will know what these are.” Dawn. Ironclad Cove. The Deadmines. Hours later. “Tobin's breathing, Boss.” “Doc says he's got a skull like a cannonball.” “Good.” “He's such an idiot for rushing in like that.” “Boss. Sneekis's cart is coming down.” “Let him come.” “Make way, make way!” “The finest merchant in all of Azeroth!” “Sneekis. Loud as ever.” “Heard the Crown lost a ship last night. Tragic.” Sneekis, Merchant. “Careless of them.” “A ship full of the Crown's gold, taken in the fog. I'd have sold tickets.” “Stormwind will be screaming for your head.” “Let them scream.” “They still owe my masons for their walls.” “Remind me never to owe you money.” “Speaking of debts. Your order, Edwin.” “Oak for the new hall. Iron for the forge.” “Rope, and eight sealed sacks. As ordered, sir.” Morgan, The Collector. “A new hall, a new forge... What for, I never ask. I deliver. As always.” “Noted.” “Seasoned oak. For once.” “Get the iron to the smiths. I want new blades by the next moon.” “Next month's order, Master Sneekis.” “Always a pleasure, Morgan.” “Bring the Crown's chests to Master Sneekis. He weighs every coin.” “Ahh. Crown gold, fresh from the mint.” “Look at that shine. Lion-stamped, though.” “Sixty for every hundred, as usual.” “Today's order comes out of the Crown's gold. The rest, I pay you in this.” “Struck in Gadgetzan. The Steamwheedle Cartel's new coin.” “No lion on it. Spend it anywhere - nobody asks where you got it.” “Stormwind's gold, honest at last.” “Honest as the day you stole it.” “Then we're done.” “Three words, Edwin? Always so short with me.” “Not even an invitation to tea?” “No tea, then. But there's something in the back you'll want to see.” “Boys.” “Sneekis. I told you I didn't want slaves.” Ren Hollis, Level 1 · Classless. “Easy, Edwin, easy. It's not what it looks like.” “Ren. They're Defias. All of them.” “Then they hate the Crown too, Tam.” “That doesn't make them our friends.” “Hear me out, Edwin. Northshire, three days ago.” “A crew of exiled masons, picking the last grapes in the first frost.” “Then the Crown's tax collector came calling, with a sergeant and two soldiers. Four gold, twenty-three silver.” “They couldn't pay. So the soldiers took everything.” “...and killed everyone. Or at least, that was their intention.” “By some miracle, this kid had come out on top.” “A boy with a chisel - against a sergeant and two soldiers.” “He went for my goblins with this. Hence the chain.” “A mason's son, Edwin. Remind you of anyone?” Edwin VanCleef, Defias Kingpin · Level ?? “Why?” “They came to collect. I paid the debt with their blood.” “No charge, Edwin. Call it a gift.” “Nothing you give is free.” “Then call it an investment.” “Cut the ropes. Get the smith for that collar. Feed them.” “Yours, I believe.” “You're free. Both of you.” Four gold, twenty-three silver. That's what we were worth to the Crown. The Crown. Its lords. Its soldiers. I'll kill every single one of them. The Defias Brotherhood.
