As it were, Masado found himself roaming the streets of Oak City for such a conman. The man he was seeking was older and very cocky and conniving from what he had been told when he read the quest on the board listing Batra had posted. Masado's blue eyes scanned the street searching for the man he saw in the photo. A short greedy looking dude with black hair.
He spotted a man that seemed to match the picture and approached him. "Are you Kyle?" He asked coolly as he approached him from behind. The man turned toward the Rune Knight and smiled cheerfully at the taller male. "Yes, that is me! How may I help you, good sir?"
Masado folded his arms across his chest. He was dressed casually today, but still carried his sword and shield which were strapped to his back. Just in case. "I've been told you scammed a customer recently. I'm here to collect their money for them." Kyle was more than cooperative (and cheerful) about returning the scammed money.
It was quite suspicious.
Though not fully trusting Kyle, Masado returned to the bar and handed the money to Batra who began to count it, but then stopped and slid it back to the Rune Knight shaking his head. "This money is counterfeit. You've been conned, my friend." the kindly bartender informed, and Masado knew instantly what he had to do. He had to stop this guy before he could skip town.
The Rune Knight rushed through the busy streets chasing down the cowardly conman as he headed toward the city's gates. Masado refused to let this man escape as he chased after him. Masado readied his sword and shield for the inevitable confrontation that would most likely occur. He raised his sword above his head, pointing the blade toward the sky. "Lightning Rush!" He shouted as clouds appeared out of nowhere and lightning struck the Rune Knight causing him to glow a bright yellow as he pursued the con artist at a faster pace than before.
As soon as the Rune Knight caught up to Kyle, the con artist turned and swung a baseball bat at him. The mage easily blocked the attack with his shield and retaliated with a Lightning Charge, slamming into the man knocking him back several feet. Persistent, and perhaps desperate, the man charges again swinging the baseball bat like a madman.
The Rune Knight easily sidesteps the attack, and wacks him in the back of the head with the butt of his sword. As Kyle falls unconscious, Masado shakes his head and sheathes his sword. He then grabs the con artist and drags him to the bar, turning him in to Batra who thanks him and gives him his reward.
