In the local church of life the mayor and priest are plotting, at the same time Alex and his Capos are in the headquarters making plans. It has been a week since they hired the extra 75 soldiers, all around the town groups of 5 or 6 cloaked figured strolled through town. Most are simply there in case anything happens to the dealers and the soldiers guarding them. However 13 of the cloaked soldiers have a different job. The 7 thieves and 5 assassins are tasked with finding out any plots against the mafia.
"Boss we need to increase production again. The guilds from the criminal underworld have become interested in buying from us. And they have hundreds of members." Nyana told Alex.
"Hmm, fine we increase production. Even if I'm hesitant to sell to other criminal organizations. It will be a few days before we see any increase in products though. And the price remains the same for them. Is there anything else?"
"The soldiers tasked with spying have learned of a plot on us. The mayor of Everwinter has spoken to the churches local representative, and while the church has decided not to send there own soldiers yet they do plan to aid the mayor in his plots. Currently he plans to arrest a full group so it takes time before we find out, allowing his men to 'interrogate' them longer without retaliation." Harvir said.
"Tell the soldiers to be on guard and see if we have someone with a mastery in Utility Magic. I have a plan that if it works will allow for long distance communication. Now anything else?"
Jason is the quietest of the 3 capos, he usually has Nyana speak for him, today though he didn't.
"There is someone boss, I think you should meet with him. He's a young apprentice necromancer. He might be a great asset for us." The young man said.
"Fine. Bring him to meet with me this evening. Now I need to go and make sure our production will be increased in a few days time." Alex said before standing and leaving for the farm.

Meanwhile the mayor had ordered a group of 10 guards to track and arrest one of the groups of cloaked figures with the reaper emblem. Currently the 10 guards are walking around town looking for an opportunity to do as ordered, unknown to them, they are being followed and watched by 2 of the ones they were ordered to arrest. The 2 mafia soldiers are following the 10 guards, waiting for the to pick a ground of soldiers to try arresting, when the guards would go for the arrest, no doubt a fight would break out. And the 2 watching would attack the guards from behind.
Soon the guards found a group in a small alley were no one else was around. A fight broke out, in that moment the 2 cloaked figures attacked from behind the guards. But not with sword or magic like everyone else, no they had been trained with the Don's new weapons, guns. Both pulled out their pistols before taking aim and firing at the backs of the guards, they watched as the bullet tore through the magically reinforced armor and entered the guards backs. Then they picked another target and repeated, until all the guards are on the ground dead or dying. They walked over to the downed guards, ignoring what the other soldiers are saying, before using magic to remove the bullets. The Don wanted his unique weapons to remain undiscovered for as long as possible. After this one of the 2 soldiers with guns turned to the other soldiers before saying.

"Kill the ones that are still alive. Take their armor and weapons, then put one of these coins between their teeth's and leave their bodies in the town center. Every time we are attacked we will retaliate and send a message." They ordered before giving the group of 5 enough buyer coins for the guards. They quickly left after that, fading into the shadows.
Similar situations were happening all around the town that day. Soon dozens of guard bodies lay in the town center with a buyer coin sticking out of the mouths. The mayor was now in his office raging, throwing anything he could get his hands on. He was raging and panicking.

Alex returned to the headquarters that evening after adding 6 more greenhouses, 2 for each plant type. He soon learned of all the attacks on his soldiers, and he learned about the dozens of bodies now laying in the town center. Under his cloaks hood he had a chilling grin, soon he would spread word around the town. The mayor is going on a crusade against those who've only aided the citizens, the mayor is wasting the guards lives attacking his betters. Yes he would have his dealers subtly mention it to their buyers, who would then spread word to the rest of the town. Soon the mayor would be villainized. Now though it's time to have an interesting meeting with this necromancer. Jason soon entered with a young pale man, the effects of necromancy already showing on the man.
"Sit. Now tell me what you want in return for joining us." Alex ordered.
"As I'm sure Jason told you, I'm a necromancer apprentice. However to truly delve into the necromantic arts, I have to stop living. I need to become a greater Lich. After all how can the living know all the magics of the dead. I need protection while I become an undead. It will attract the attention of the church no doubt. If you give me protection and when I need them, materials for my…studies, then I'll serve you." The pale man said.
Alex could definitely see the advantage of having a full blown necromancer on his side, however he doesn't want to rely on this man to much. So he would make it seem like he is doing the man a favor.
"Very well we will provide you protection, and materials. In return you will server the Mafia and when your aid is asked for you will provide it." Alex said before standing.
"Now let's go buy a place for you, out in the forest I think would be best." Alex didn't want the man near his farm yet. He didn't want to risk the destruction of his plants if he could avoid such a thing. No best to spend some gold getting the man his own place instead. Maybe he could find a property near the cemetery, that would be interesting.
