Avengers, 1889 [IC]

"Give me a few minutes with them," Black Widow suggests with a sultry smile.

"I will have them telling everything they know."

Despite the seemingly sinister tone of her words, those on the team know what she's talking about. Her pheromones tend to have men eating out of her hand...sooner or later.

"You're welcome my good inspector. Glad to be of service to the crown!

Justice can move awesome weights with the power of his mind and Thor's strength is legendary. They will be worth a small army of men when it comes to collecting the contraband. Ronin and Wolverine are the most perceptive among us and can escort the prisoners, who will be hard pressed to escape under their watch. I doubt they will want to give Wolverine a cause for provocation in any case."

Captain Britania makes sure to bind Pile-Crusher's wounds so that he won't bleed to death. He either doesn't notice that one of the brigands has died from a slashing wound to the chest, or, if he does, he doesn't mention it. Before the prisoners are taken anywhere, Captain Britania asks Scarlet Witch to try to identify which items that the Wrecking Crew has which are magical and to take them away!

 

[Redclaw]

Captain Britannia, would you like me to take a look at any of this material before we start to move it? I do have some knowledge of the process of analyzing evidence? Of course, once I've finished, I would be happy to help collect the contraband. If the response is positive, Justice starts by searching the three members of the Crew, moves to look at some of the crates, and finally the bridge of the ship.
[sblock=ooc] Search +3 for a 19
Investigate +11 for a 15 . Ouch, poor roll. Oh well.[/sblock]

Ronin dusts himself off and walk over to his shattered Katana. He sighs as he picks up the hilt, his mighty weapon now a mere dagger. He walks to the nearest crate and wedges the broken blade under the lid and prys it off.

Ronin walks to the crate nearest to him and looks for anything interesting inside. Search = 26

 

[Karl Green]

Looking inside some of the crates, Justice and Ronin see that stacked on top are a number of various random merchandise – umbrellas, walking-sticks, coats, etc. But they all have poorly concealed secret compartments beneath them… they might have passed causal inspections, but not a true search.

Within the secret compartments are more of the ‘assault rifles’ and ‘clips’ of ammunitions, that the thugs were armed with here. There are also five additional Gatlin style machine gun mounts, with hundreds of rounds. One crate that Ronin looks into also has a number of hard metal spheres that look like fuse-less hand-grenades, with pins set into the tops of them. Finally one crate also has four very unusual rifles within it. They each are about six feet long, with barrels similar to those of an elephant gun. Mounted onto the tops of these rifles are heavy scopes that seem to be able to ‘adjust’ their magnification in some way. When peering through them one also can seem almost perfectly in the dark, as if these scopes provided some form of light amplification.

Ronin finds a number of shipping documents that must have been forged, which Justice looks over but is unsure if they are important or not. He does note that most of the freight that was picked up at Mindelo Harbour (on the island of on Cape Verde) was actually from the European mainland, mostly from various ports in southern France.

"Of course, my friend. Good idea! You are the best among us at these investigative skills. And you do not have to ask my permission when you have a good idea.. You can just do it!"

 

[Karl Green]

Looking into the pockets and over the items carried by the three captured Wrecking Crew members, Justice finds some scribbled notes, with barely recognizable English written on them with time and location of the docks. They are also carrying a few lose Pounds and Pence. Nothing really stands out, but they all seem to have a lot of saw dust on their shoes and lower pant legs, while there are no wood mills or such nearby.

*SHINK*"Probly not, and if ya need any help... 'interogating', I think I can help with that too. Plus, i got that Wrecker guys scent now. If we run into him again he aint swimmin' free." Wolverine grins and moves off to keep an 'eye' on the prisoners.

Captain Britania makes sure to bind Pile-Crusher's wounds so that he won't bleed to death. He either doesn't notice that one of the brigands has died from a slashing wound to the chest, or, if he does, he doesn't mention it.

*OOC: whoops, forgot I'd killed one.. heh, uh.. sorry?
Also, don't forget Wolverine's a legendary Tracker/scout*

Black Widow goes over to where the henchmen are kept in a bunch, all handcuffed and awaiting justice. But first, she hoped to get something useful out of them...

She walks among them, lightly touching each on the shoulder as she passes, giving each a quick glance with an alluring smile...ordinarily just light flirting. The ordinary human sense of smell did not register the pheromones she was breathing out...but like subliminal messages, they still impacted the animal mind. Hearts raced, breath quickened, and each man was afflicted with a desperate, crawling need for this woman.

"I have a few questions," the Widow says. "The one who answers them most truthfully and completely will come with me to a place we can be alone." Her smirk promised everything and nothing, especially to those addled by her scents. "Those who say nothing will be questioned by someone less...pleasant. The Hulk, perhaps. Or Wolverine. Don't worry though...any limbs lost will be surgically reattached before you are taken to prison." Once she is satisfied that at least some are under her spell, she begins. After each question she waits a bit to allow answers before moving on.

"Now. Where was this cargo from? Who provided it? Who was it going to be delivered to? Where was it going to be taken?"

Whenever someone speaks, she turns her attention to that person, applying cold reason, hints of seduction, and threats as needed to pry more information from him. When she's satisfied that she's gotten as much as can be had from the henchpeople, she interviews any conscious members of the Wrecking Crew...not relying nearly as much on pheromones (though using it too), she concentrates mainly on intimidation, using the same questions as she asked the others.

[Redclaw]

Huh. I wonder what all this sawdust is from. I wouldn't expect to see that on gun-smugglers. I wonder if we should search the crates or the inside of the ship for some kind of hidden compartment cut out of the rest of the structure. Wolverine, do you think you could follow the trail of this sawdust? Justice tries to get the savage one's attention without drawing his ire.
