Gareth stays with the Dragon Blood Assassins, and demons. Jade’s Luck and Bianca are still wandering around in the underground areas with the slave Chris. Jade’s Luck and Bianca are still speaking in Old Realm to avoid scaring Chris.</p><p>Tiger: (To Gareth) You’re job is to make sure the Dragon Blood assassins don’t leave before we get back.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: (to Gareth) Yea! You... be a Solar!</p><p></p><p>Gareth: I can manage. </p><p>Ryan: We get our ninja on!</p><p></p><p>Liz: Now I have an image of A-Dom wearing the skin of a ninja.</p><p></p><p>Ryan: Well if we ever kill a ninja... that would be cool.</p><p></p><p>Liz: That would be a really disgusting artifact. </p><p></p><p>Dan: How else do you get the essence of a ninja in an artifact?</p><p></p><p>Ryan: Yea, severed heads are just too hard to carry.</p><p></p><p>Liz: I think our problem is that we would make such good bad guys.</p><p></p><p>GM: I’ve asked you to achieve world domination through any means you choose. I never said you were the good guys.</p><p></p><p>Alex: The problem is we are trying...</p><p></p><p>Dan & Ryan: Maybe YOU are trying to be a good guy. We are not. </p><p></p><p>Tiger and A-Dom sneak up to the top of a building in the Peleps complex that is near the tower. The run and jump through one of the third story windows without being spotted. They land in a dark bedroom. They realize they are in a room full of sleeping children. They find that there are very few doors in this tower. All the doorways are covered in beaded curtains. Tiger and A-dom stop right in front of the doorway with the beaded curtains. </p><p></p><p>Tiger: (Whispering) Do we need to kill all these children?</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: (Whispering) No, no, no. If we are going to kill children we are going to take them to the wyld. </p><p>Ryan: I’m trying to figure out how this will not destroy our plans. God damn it... a beaded curtain. Damn it, we are Exalts!</p><p></p><p>A-Dom and Tiger manage to sneak through the beaded curtain as quietly as they can. But they do hear some stirring in the room full of children. So they head away from that room down the hallway. Tiger figures Jara is probably being held near the top of the tower. So they sneak along. A-Dom keeps hiding behind tapestries... “Because that’s what you do.” </p><p></p><p>They find a set of stairs just as people are coming down them. A-Dom jumps up and pins himself between the walls of the corridor, and activates Invisible Statue Spirit. Tiger jumps up onto the doorframe that leads to the stairway, between the wall and A-Dom... just barely fitting.</p><p></p><p>A set of guards walks underneath them. The two guards are complaining.</p><p></p><p>Guard: Why would someone try to assassinate our hostage? We already kidnaped her. This is just silly. </p><p></p><p>A-Dom starts wondering if he can sleep without moving... so he can sleep invisible.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom and Tiger drop down and continue up the stairs. Walking through the hallway on the fourth floor... Tiger hears “They are gone now. Lets go” as two men dressed all in black ninja outfits, sneak out of a room with a beaded curtain. </p><p></p><p>For the record it’s 9pm. They have to keep Jara alive until midnight on this day.</p><p></p><p>Tiger: (Whispering) Maybe we should follow them to find out where she is first.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: (Whispering) We ninja the ninjas? I like it.</p><p></p><p>The two ninjas sneak along the corridor peaking in each room then moving along.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: (Whispering) Oh they don’t know where they are going ether.</p><p></p><p>Tiger: (real loud) Shhhhh!</p><p></p><p>One of the Ninjas whips around, and they both draw swords. A-Dom summons his club and tries to look intimidating and menacing. One of them starts to back away from A-Dom slowly. The other one screams, wets himself and starts running away from A-Dom. </p><p></p><p>Tiger, reacting much faster then anyone else, moves into the room between them and the ninjas, and slides to the side as fast as he can to not be silhouetted against the doorway. He then realizes it’s a baracks like room where there are a number of guards sleeping. Tiger sneaks around the room sliding under beds and behind furnature to reach the far side of the room where there is a window. The guards do not notice him as they all looking towards the doorway where the screaming is. Tiger jumps out the window and runs up the wall using Spider Foot Style.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom smacks the screaming one in the side of the head with his club. A-Dom smashes his head clean off in one blow. There is just a giant spray of blood against on wall. A-Dom then steps right next to the door to the barracks, pressing himself against the wall, and holding his club upright agaisnt the wall. He then activated Invisible Statue Spirit. </p><p></p><p>The Ninja who kept his head (in both ways) dived through the curtain into the room across from the barraks and disappeared into the shadows.</p><p></p><p>The guards come running out of the barrack room half dressed to see the the headless body fell over.</p><p></p><p>Guard 1: (Confused) Assassins?</p><p></p><p>Guard 2: (more confident) ASS SAS SINS!</p><p></p><p>There is a flurry of activity by the guards. </p><p></p><p>Outside Tiger finds a small arrow slit like window that looks into the 5h floor. He can see Jara is lying on a bed, still beat up. There is a Dragon Blood dressed as a monk standing over her, poking at her with small sticks. There are also two other guards in the room. He then climbs up onto the roof, avoiding the one guard on the roof. It’s a flat roof with crenelations along the top. Tiger moves along the side of the wall avoiding the guard.</p><p></p><p>Standing in the hallway A-Dom gets to stand around watching the guards. The guards call for a Dragon Blood to investigate the strange decapitation.</p><p></p><p>Tiger climbs over the wall and down the hatch onto the 5th floor. Tiger sees the stairs that go down has a window on it, and he sees a familiar looking ninja sneaking in through that window. Tiger hides and lets the Ninja go ahead of him. Planning to save Jara if the Monk and Guards can’t handle him. The Ninja gets to the door of the room Jara is in. He starts fiddling with the lock, picking it. The door swings inwards. Tiger sees a huge wave of earth blow the Ninja backwards into the wall then slams him against the wall. The Monk jumps out of the room, bounces off the ceiling and drives his knee through his skull.</p><p></p><p>Tiger: (to himself) She seems pretty safe in there.</p><p></p><p>Monk: Drag this scum off.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom gets to stand around with the guards waiting for the Dragon Blood to show up.</p><p></p><p>Guard 1: What do you think killed him?</p><p></p><p>Guard 2: I think it was some giant guy. Serial Headcrusher. We should expect to see a lot of these.</p><p></p><p>Eventually an immaculate monk shows up. A-Dom is pretty sure he’s seen him before. He’s a member of Jara’s brotherhood, and a member of house Peleps. A-Dom thinks he may be their brotherhoods investigator. Realizing this. A-Dom decides to erase himself from all memory with Vanish from Minds Eye. So the invisible unmoving man just erased himself from all memory. </p><p></p><p>Tiger was wondering what was going on with A-Dom... then he forgot who A-Dom was. But he could still sense a member of his brotherhood, who he didn’t know, was still in the room.</p><p></p><p>Investigator: Clearly the work of an Anathema with a big club... (A-Dom activates the charm) No... never mind. I got nothing. This is incomprehensible. His head exploded from a great deal of force... Yes, clearly anathema related. The anathema who attacked the Cynis party earlier. That’s who did it. I’ll have to go interrogate the prisoners. (To the guards) Make sure that body is properly burned. </p><p></p><p>A-Dom starts wondering why he said prisoners not prisoner. He then sees the investigator monk walking off, and heading down the tower, not up. </p><p></p><p>Tiger starts checking things out on the 4th floor. He sees a captain of the guard yelling at the guards in the barracks room.</p><p></p><p>Captain: An assassin gets decapitated right outside the guard room and nobody saw it or knows anything?!?</p><p></p><p>Tiger eventually moves into the room across from the barracks room. It appears to be someone’s bed room which is empty. As soon as the guards clear out of the hallway, A-Dom steps over the puddle of blood and slides through the beaded curtain into the room with Tiger. </p><p></p><p>A-Dom: (to Tiger) I am Surf-Hawk of the Five Rivers. I’m from the East!</p><p></p><p>Then A-Dom turns Vanish From Minds Eye off so Tiger can remember him. Tiger looks confused for a few moments then figures out what A-Dom did.</p><p>Ryan: I finally used a name from my huge list of aliases. </p><p></p><p>Tiger and A-Dom move away from the door and towards the window. Tiger explains what happened to the other ninja. He then describes the monk who was in the room with Jara. </p><p></p><p>A-Dom: No my monk was completely different.</p><p></p><p>Tiger: She’s pretty well guarded. All we have to do is make sure they don’t sneak her out. But that’s a conversation for elsewhere. </p><p></p><p>A-Dom: My monk said there were prisoners downstairs in the basement. They might be someone that we like. Or someone that we want to be dead. He was going to ask them about what happened, so obviously they are anathema. We got to check it out. We got time to kill.</p><p>GM note: Can you say Assumptions?</p><p></p><p>Tiger and A-Dom search the room for uniforms. They find Captain’s uniforms. They decide that a Captain is too hard to fake being. So they decide they need normal guard uniforms. </p><p></p><p>Nothing happens outside that they see. A-Dom wipes his club off on the drapes by the window. A-Dom can see that there is a lot of activity outside on the ground. He points it out to Tiger, who agrees with him. </p><p>Ryan: I think I blew my wad on that ninja.</p><p></p><p>Tiger: I think it’s time to just leave. </p><p></p><p>10pm </p><p></p><p>Tiger sneaks back up to the 5th floor and finds a servants room with livery of house Peleps. He also sees where a mop and bucket would normally sit, but they were gone. Tiger steals livery and other clothing for himself and A-Dom and heads back to A-Dom.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: I’ll be... a large servant. </p><p></p><p>Tiger: Guard uniforms would be better?</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: I think we should give up and go home. Because you see it’s ether going to lead to combat, or it’s going to lead to combat, or it’s going to lead to combat.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom and Tiger jump out the window onto a roof across the way. Tiger heads down to talk to Gareth. A-Dom stays on the rooftop and watches the room where Jara is being kept.</p><p></p><p>Tiger explains about the assassins attempt was foiled. There is a serial headcrusher in the city. Amazingly Tiger didn’t mention that there were children in the building to Gareth for some reason. </p><p></p><p>A-Dom doesn’t see anything strange or note able happen while they wait for midnight to pass.</p><p>________________________________________</p><p></p><p>12:01am</p><p></p><p>Gareth: Ok you guys can start again.</p><p></p><p>Demons: (deadpan) Yay. </p><p></p><p>Tiger: (to Gareth) Don’t you have to tell them how to do it “right” ?</p><p></p><p>Gareth, watching them, thinks they are doing it wrong. He thinks they are going to knock the building over sideways, not make it collapse strait down. Which might not kill Jara on the top floor. Gareth explains this to the demons.</p><p></p><p>Dragon Blood 1: (Yelling at the demons) You idiots! Do it right!</p><p></p><p>Gareth explains how to do it better. He then starts thinking it would be a lot faster if A-Dom was here. Gareth mentions this, so Tiger goes and switches places with A-Dom.</p><p></p><p>Tiger: It would speed things up if you were down there. Switch places with me.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: They all look like Dragon Bloods from up here.</p><p></p><p>Tiger: We’re on the 3rd floor...</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: There is enough blur... they are all Dragon Bloods. They all should die.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom heads down to where Gareth is. Gareth explains things. He basically wants A-Dom to yank the column out quickly. </p><p></p><p>A-Dom: (to Gareth) Is there some way we can do this and destroy everything but the basement? There are some prisoners that I think might be interesting.</p><p></p><p>Gareth thinks about it real hard. If the column were to fall strait down crushing the demons, then be yanked to the side with incredible force, it might shear the basement off before the rest of the tower fell strait down onto where the column had been. He explains it to A-Dom, including the risks of getting squished.</p><p>Dan: Back up character ready? Spent all your xp?</p><p></p><p>Ryan: My back up plan is to be a shining anathema that nobody remembers. </p><p></p><p>So they wait for the column to collapse upon the demons. Then A-Dom grabed the pillar and runs backwards with it slicing off the basement, guards start falling down just ahead of the rest of the tower falling strait down.</p><p></p><p>Tiger sees the tower shake once, then falls strait down. The 1st floor hits, gets pancaked, then the 2nd floor pancakes, 3rd, 4th, and finally the 5th floor hits and pancakes on top of all the others.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom gets the pillar and basement stuck upright between the floor and the ceiling. </p><p></p><p>A-Dom: (screaming to Gareth to be heard over the colapsing) We have two problems. There are no exits to the basement, and I think I just saved an Immaculate Monk.</p><p>________________________________________</p><p>Jade’s Luck and Bianca hear a crashing noise far off in the underground.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck: That’s not good.</p><p>________________________________________</p><p></p><p>A-Dom and Gareth see an Immaculate Monk (the one who was in the room with Jara) stand up from the rubble with his earth aspect anima banner flaring. They also fail to notice the two Dragon Blooded assassins who were controlling the Demons, sneaking away. </p><p></p><p>Up above, Tiger sees the hole where the tower was. Then he sees giant cracks start radiating out from the hole. Then he sees other buildings that were near the tower sliding towards the hole. One building is not moving (because the basement and pillar have been wedged under it, giving it temporary support). </p><p></p><p>The Dragon Blood monk, jumps out of the way as another building falls down the hole on top of the tower. A-Dom throws his giant club at the monk, but misses, and the monk disappears behind a cloud of dust and rubble.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom monkey leaps and punches a hole in the wall of the basement (which is against the ceiling). A-Dom and Gareth jump up and climb into the basement. They find two servants inside.</p><p></p><p>Gareth: The entire compound is collapsing.</p><p></p><p>Servant 1: The stairway disappeared, where did you guys come from?</p><p></p><p>The servants apparently assumed that A-Dom and Gareth were Dragon Bloods, as their caste marks were glowing, and they are rather confused.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: Where do you keep the prisoners?</p><p></p><p>Servant 2: We make sure the toilets don’t overflow. We kind of do waste management. What prisoners?</p><p></p><p>Gareth and A-Dom search the floor and find it to be mostly for storage, servants and waste management of the building. </p><p></p><p>A-Dom: We were looking for some kind of prisoners what were being interrogated... ummmmmmm.... yeahhhhhh..... umm..... Alrick, albert, some guy in Jara’s horse pack...</p><p></p><p>Gareth: Auric!</p><p></p><p>Servant 1: He was investigating the anathema. His prisoners would be at the jail.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: Where is the jail?</p><p></p><p>Servant 2: The government section of town... near the courts.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: (depressed) So... not this building... but a different building... yeah....</p><p></p><p>Gareth: (to the servants) You guys should leave.</p><p></p><p>Servants: Can you get us out?</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: On one condition. You tell all the slaves you were saved by Solars.</p><p></p><p>Servants: Sure we can do that!</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: And the Solars are here to save you... from the Dragon Bloods.</p><p></p><p>Servants: Sure, whatever. </p><p></p><p>A-Dom and Gareth each grab one and jump out. On the way down, they see that one of the additional buildings that fell onto the tower is on fire. Green fire.</p><p></p><p>Gareth: A-Dom there is green fire over there.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: Duh, duh, da, duh, yup. Things got demon-ed up. Won’t create a wyld zone or anything. Don’t worry about it. </p><p></p><p>Gareth: Do you know where Jade’s Luck is?</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: Do I know where Jade’s Luck is? No! I’ve been with you! We need to find Tiger. What should we do with them?</p><p></p><p>Tiger goes down to the sewers, as A-Dom and Gareth are coming up. </p><p></p><p>Tiger: You found more pathetic life forms to take care of?</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: Yea we saved these two. The Dragon blood got away.</p><p></p><p>Tiger: What about the ones with the demons?</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: What ones with demons? Oh... the ones we needed to frame.</p><p></p><p>Tiger: So you left all kinds of witnesses? Good job...</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: Only one witness.</p><p></p><p>Tiger: The Dragon Bloods, the Dragon Blood monk, the demons, those two...</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: Demons died.</p><p></p><p>Tiger: Not permanently. (Sigh) I suppose we should leave, and not worry about framing anyone anymore because that’s obviously not going to work anymore. Find Jade’s Luck... You didn’t even look for the Dragon Blood assassins did you?</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: Hey there was a lot of stuff going on. Thing falling. Trying to save things that weren’t really there.</p><p></p><p>Tiger: So you didn’t even save the prisoners in the basement?</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: They weren’t in the basement. They are in the jail.</p><p></p><p>Tiger just walks off to find Jade’s Luck. A-Dom and Gareth go running after him.</p><p></p><p>Gareth: (irritated) Where are we going?</p><p></p><p>Tiger: To Jade’s Luck and Bianca.</p><p></p><p>Gareth: (more irritated) Where are they?</p><p></p><p>Tiger: This way!</p><p></p><p>Gareth: I need to learn a charm... right now...</p><p>________________________________________</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck works on telling Chris about how great the Unconquered Sun is while they are sitting around. Chris starts to really enjoy hearing about the Unconquered Sun. Since things are going well Jade’s Luck tells her, that she won’t be a slave anymore. </p><p></p><p>Tiger, A-Dom, and Gareth find Jade’s Luck, Bianca and Chris in the undercity. It is around 2am.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck: (Old Realm) This is my friend Chris. Do your best not to scare her.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: (Old Realm to Chris) Hello Chris! I’m A-Dom! (He waves to her too)</p><p></p><p>Chris looks confused and waves back. Jade’s Luck sums up recent events for Gareth. Gareth sums up more recent events. The group continues the conversation in Old Realm.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck: I was confused as to why buildings were falling down here.</p><p></p><p>Gareth: Assassins.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: Anathema.</p><p></p><p>Tiger: A-Dom thinks there are some Anathema prisoners we should go rescue. </p><p></p><p>Gareth: We rescued two slaves...</p><p></p><p>Tiger: There is a serial beheader running around the city. (A-Dom starts laughing hysterically)</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: I’m assuming the prisoners are going to be executed tonight. After what happened... you know... <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />.... there is going to be a shark running around Atlantis. </p><p></p><p>Gareth: Shortly Atlantis may be becoming an unsafe place to live.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck: Is this “we should be evacuating our relatives RIGHT NOW” as in “Mother I need you to go on a vacation.”</p><p></p><p>Gareth: You see just yesterday we were on the edge of a house war.</p><p></p><p>Tiger: But now they can blame anathema. So that’s out the window.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom comes up with the idea of making the houses keep fighting by being seen publically, as an anathema working for a House. The group decides... House Sesus is the best option. Because, they know who the leader of the house is and where to find her, and they have a long tradition of actually working for House Sesus.</p><p></p><p>Gareth and Jade’s Luck decide that it would be best to get their families out of the city as quickly as possible. Taking them to Opec island, then deciding where to go from there.</p><p></p><p>Tiger volunteers to go break into Jail to find out about the prisoners, A-Dom goes to be in the same area in case Tiger needs backup. Gareth goes to get his family. Jade’s Luck goes to get her family. Bianca takes Chris to Gareth’s boat.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck: Oh we have a really neat book we need to get onto your boat.</p><p></p><p>Gareth: Put it in your pocket and lets go!</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck shows them the book.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck: I think this is your fault Gareth.</p><p></p><p>Gareth: I bet that’s the condescending book.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck: Someone has to carry this to the boat, and I’m assuming we don’t want to walk along the streets.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: You know, we need an entrance to the sewers in Gareth’s Shop. Someplace where mortal’s couldn’t use it... we could hide it under the anvil. </p><p></p><p>The group decides to stash the book in the undercity and come back for it at some later date.</p><p></p><p>So the group heads out. There is a lot of patrols on the streets, etc. </p><p>________________________________________</p><p></p><p>3am</p><p>As Jade’s Luck gets closer to Jade Fox’s Tea House, she realizes something is wrong. As she gets closer she can see that the tea house is nothing more then a pile of ash and rubble.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck: Oh <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck starts running strait for the jail.</p><p>________________________________________</p><p></p><p>3:15 am</p><p>Tiger and A-Dom get to the Jail through the sewers. Tiger decides to look like someone else. A-Dom decides to do the same.</p><p></p><p>Tiger: If trouble breaks out, I’m not sticking around. I’m going to escape as quickly as possible.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: (deadpan) Shocking. </p><p></p><p>Tiger gets out of the sewers and sneaks up to the less used (the door on a secondary street, not the door on a major street) of the doors to the jail.

[QUOTE="Ao the Overkitty, post: 3953106, member: 9758"] [i]Session 49 Synopsis 6/18/07[/i] [b][size=5]Assassins 2[/size] Subtitle: Shortly Atlantis may be becoming an unsafe place to live. [i]By Always Toast[/i][/b] Tiger and A-Dom decide to try and get into the tower to make sure Jara is inside. Gareth stays with the Dragon Blood Assassins, and demons. Jade’s Luck and Bianca are still wandering around in the underground areas with the slave Chris. Jade’s Luck and Bianca are still speaking in Old Realm to avoid scaring Chris. Tiger: (To Gareth) You’re job is to make sure the Dragon Blood assassins don’t leave before we get back. A-Dom: (to Gareth) Yea! You... be a Solar! Gareth: I can manage. Ryan: We get our ninja on! Liz: Now I have an image of A-Dom wearing the skin of a ninja. Ryan: Well if we ever kill a ninja... that would be cool. Liz: That would be a really disgusting artifact. Dan: How else do you get the essence of a ninja in an artifact? Ryan: Yea, severed heads are just too hard to carry. Liz: I think our problem is that we would make such good bad guys. GM: I’ve asked you to achieve world domination through any means you choose. I never said you were the good guys. Alex: The problem is we are trying... Dan & Ryan: Maybe YOU are trying to be a good guy. We are not. Tiger and A-Dom sneak up to the top of a building in the Peleps complex that is near the tower. The run and jump through one of the third story windows without being spotted. They land in a dark bedroom. They realize they are in a room full of sleeping children. They find that there are very few doors in this tower. All the doorways are covered in beaded curtains. Tiger and A-dom stop right in front of the doorway with the beaded curtains. Tiger: (Whispering) Do we need to kill all these children? A-Dom: (Whispering) No, no, no. If we are going to kill children we are going to take them to the wyld. Ryan: I’m trying to figure out how this will not destroy our plans. God damn it... a beaded curtain. Damn it, we are Exalts! A-Dom and Tiger manage to sneak through the beaded curtain as quietly as they can. But they do hear some stirring in the room full of children. So they head away from that room down the hallway. Tiger figures Jara is probably being held near the top of the tower. So they sneak along. A-Dom keeps hiding behind tapestries... “Because that’s what you do.” They find a set of stairs just as people are coming down them. A-Dom jumps up and pins himself between the walls of the corridor, and activates Invisible Statue Spirit. Tiger jumps up onto the doorframe that leads to the stairway, between the wall and A-Dom... just barely fitting. A set of guards walks underneath them. The two guards are complaining. Guard: Why would someone try to assassinate our hostage? We already kidnaped her. This is just silly. A-Dom starts wondering if he can sleep without moving... so he can sleep invisible. A-Dom and Tiger drop down and continue up the stairs. Walking through the hallway on the fourth floor... Tiger hears “They are gone now. Lets go” as two men dressed all in black ninja outfits, sneak out of a room with a beaded curtain. For the record it’s 9pm. They have to keep Jara alive until midnight on this day. Tiger: (Whispering) Maybe we should follow them to find out where she is first. A-Dom: (Whispering) We ninja the ninjas? I like it. The two ninjas sneak along the corridor peaking in each room then moving along. A-Dom: (Whispering) Oh they don’t know where they are going ether. Tiger: (real loud) Shhhhh! One of the Ninjas whips around, and they both draw swords. A-Dom summons his club and tries to look intimidating and menacing. One of them starts to back away from A-Dom slowly. The other one screams, wets himself and starts running away from A-Dom. Tiger, reacting much faster then anyone else, moves into the room between them and the ninjas, and slides to the side as fast as he can to not be silhouetted against the doorway. He then realizes it’s a baracks like room where there are a number of guards sleeping. Tiger sneaks around the room sliding under beds and behind furnature to reach the far side of the room where there is a window. The guards do not notice him as they all looking towards the doorway where the screaming is. Tiger jumps out the window and runs up the wall using Spider Foot Style. A-Dom smacks the screaming one in the side of the head with his club. A-Dom smashes his head clean off in one blow. There is just a giant spray of blood against on wall. A-Dom then steps right next to the door to the barracks, pressing himself against the wall, and holding his club upright agaisnt the wall. He then activated Invisible Statue Spirit. The Ninja who kept his head (in both ways) dived through the curtain into the room across from the barraks and disappeared into the shadows. The guards come running out of the barrack room half dressed to see the the headless body fell over. Guard 1: (Confused) Assassins? Guard 2: (more confident) ASS SAS SINS! There is a flurry of activity by the guards. Outside Tiger finds a small arrow slit like window that looks into the 5h floor. He can see Jara is lying on a bed, still beat up. There is a Dragon Blood dressed as a monk standing over her, poking at her with small sticks. There are also two other guards in the room. He then climbs up onto the roof, avoiding the one guard on the roof. It’s a flat roof with crenelations along the top. Tiger moves along the side of the wall avoiding the guard. Standing in the hallway A-Dom gets to stand around watching the guards. The guards call for a Dragon Blood to investigate the strange decapitation. Tiger climbs over the wall and down the hatch onto the 5th floor. Tiger sees the stairs that go down has a window on it, and he sees a familiar looking ninja sneaking in through that window. Tiger hides and lets the Ninja go ahead of him. Planning to save Jara if the Monk and Guards can’t handle him. The Ninja gets to the door of the room Jara is in. He starts fiddling with the lock, picking it. The door swings inwards. Tiger sees a huge wave of earth blow the Ninja backwards into the wall then slams him against the wall. The Monk jumps out of the room, bounces off the ceiling and drives his knee through his skull. Tiger: (to himself) She seems pretty safe in there. Monk: Drag this scum off. A-Dom gets to stand around with the guards waiting for the Dragon Blood to show up. Guard 1: What do you think killed him? Guard 2: I think it was some giant guy. Serial Headcrusher. We should expect to see a lot of these. Eventually an immaculate monk shows up. A-Dom is pretty sure he’s seen him before. He’s a member of Jara’s brotherhood, and a member of house Peleps. A-Dom thinks he may be their brotherhoods investigator. Realizing this. A-Dom decides to erase himself from all memory with Vanish from Minds Eye. So the invisible unmoving man just erased himself from all memory. Tiger was wondering what was going on with A-Dom... then he forgot who A-Dom was. But he could still sense a member of his brotherhood, who he didn’t know, was still in the room. Investigator: Clearly the work of an Anathema with a big club... (A-Dom activates the charm) No... never mind. I got nothing. This is incomprehensible. His head exploded from a great deal of force... Yes, clearly anathema related. The anathema who attacked the Cynis party earlier. That’s who did it. I’ll have to go interrogate the prisoners. (To the guards) Make sure that body is properly burned. A-Dom starts wondering why he said prisoners not prisoner. He then sees the investigator monk walking off, and heading down the tower, not up. Tiger starts checking things out on the 4th floor. He sees a captain of the guard yelling at the guards in the barracks room. Captain: An assassin gets decapitated right outside the guard room and nobody saw it or knows anything?!? Tiger eventually moves into the room across from the barracks room. It appears to be someone’s bed room which is empty. As soon as the guards clear out of the hallway, A-Dom steps over the puddle of blood and slides through the beaded curtain into the room with Tiger. A-Dom: (to Tiger) I am Surf-Hawk of the Five Rivers. I’m from the East! Then A-Dom turns Vanish From Minds Eye off so Tiger can remember him. Tiger looks confused for a few moments then figures out what A-Dom did. Ryan: I finally used a name from my huge list of aliases. Tiger and A-Dom move away from the door and towards the window. Tiger explains what happened to the other ninja. He then describes the monk who was in the room with Jara. A-Dom: No my monk was completely different. Tiger: She’s pretty well guarded. All we have to do is make sure they don’t sneak her out. But that’s a conversation for elsewhere. A-Dom: My monk said there were prisoners downstairs in the basement. They might be someone that we like. Or someone that we want to be dead. He was going to ask them about what happened, so obviously they are anathema. We got to check it out. We got time to kill. GM note: Can you say Assumptions? Tiger and A-Dom search the room for uniforms. They find Captain’s uniforms. They decide that a Captain is too hard to fake being. So they decide they need normal guard uniforms. Nothing happens outside that they see. A-Dom wipes his club off on the drapes by the window. A-Dom can see that there is a lot of activity outside on the ground. He points it out to Tiger, who agrees with him. Ryan: I think I blew my wad on that ninja. Tiger: I think it’s time to just leave. 10pm Tiger sneaks back up to the 5th floor and finds a servants room with livery of house Peleps. He also sees where a mop and bucket would normally sit, but they were gone. Tiger steals livery and other clothing for himself and A-Dom and heads back to A-Dom. A-Dom: I’ll be... a large servant. Tiger: Guard uniforms would be better? A-Dom: I think we should give up and go home. Because you see it’s ether going to lead to combat, or it’s going to lead to combat, or it’s going to lead to combat. A-Dom and Tiger jump out the window onto a roof across the way. Tiger heads down to talk to Gareth. A-Dom stays on the rooftop and watches the room where Jara is being kept. Tiger explains about the assassins attempt was foiled. There is a serial headcrusher in the city. Amazingly Tiger didn’t mention that there were children in the building to Gareth for some reason. A-Dom doesn’t see anything strange or note able happen while they wait for midnight to pass. ________________________________________ 12:01am Gareth: Ok you guys can start again. Demons: (deadpan) Yay. Tiger: (to Gareth) Don’t you have to tell them how to do it “right” ? Gareth, watching them, thinks they are doing it wrong. He thinks they are going to knock the building over sideways, not make it collapse strait down. Which might not kill Jara on the top floor. Gareth explains this to the demons. Dragon Blood 1: (Yelling at the demons) You idiots! Do it right! Gareth explains how to do it better. He then starts thinking it would be a lot faster if A-Dom was here. Gareth mentions this, so Tiger goes and switches places with A-Dom. Tiger: It would speed things up if you were down there. Switch places with me. A-Dom: They all look like Dragon Bloods from up here. Tiger: We’re on the 3rd floor... A-Dom: There is enough blur... they are all Dragon Bloods. They all should die. A-Dom heads down to where Gareth is. Gareth explains things. He basically wants A-Dom to yank the column out quickly. A-Dom: (to Gareth) Is there some way we can do this and destroy everything but the basement? There are some prisoners that I think might be interesting. Gareth thinks about it real hard. If the column were to fall strait down crushing the demons, then be yanked to the side with incredible force, it might shear the basement off before the rest of the tower fell strait down onto where the column had been. He explains it to A-Dom, including the risks of getting squished. Dan: Back up character ready? Spent all your xp? Ryan: My back up plan is to be a shining anathema that nobody remembers. So they wait for the column to collapse upon the demons. Then A-Dom grabed the pillar and runs backwards with it slicing off the basement, guards start falling down just ahead of the rest of the tower falling strait down. Tiger sees the tower shake once, then falls strait down. The 1st floor hits, gets pancaked, then the 2nd floor pancakes, 3rd, 4th, and finally the 5th floor hits and pancakes on top of all the others. A-Dom gets the pillar and basement stuck upright between the floor and the ceiling. A-Dom: (screaming to Gareth to be heard over the colapsing) We have two problems. There are no exits to the basement, and I think I just saved an Immaculate Monk. ________________________________________ Jade’s Luck and Bianca hear a crashing noise far off in the underground. Jade’s Luck: That’s not good. ________________________________________ A-Dom and Gareth see an Immaculate Monk (the one who was in the room with Jara) stand up from the rubble with his earth aspect anima banner flaring. They also fail to notice the two Dragon Blooded assassins who were controlling the Demons, sneaking away. Up above, Tiger sees the hole where the tower was. Then he sees giant cracks start radiating out from the hole. Then he sees other buildings that were near the tower sliding towards the hole. One building is not moving (because the basement and pillar have been wedged under it, giving it temporary support). The Dragon Blood monk, jumps out of the way as another building falls down the hole on top of the tower. A-Dom throws his giant club at the monk, but misses, and the monk disappears behind a cloud of dust and rubble. A-Dom monkey leaps and punches a hole in the wall of the basement (which is against the ceiling). A-Dom and Gareth jump up and climb into the basement. They find two servants inside. Gareth: The entire compound is collapsing. Servant 1: The stairway disappeared, where did you guys come from? The servants apparently assumed that A-Dom and Gareth were Dragon Bloods, as their caste marks were glowing, and they are rather confused. A-Dom: Where do you keep the prisoners? Servant 2: We make sure the toilets don’t overflow. We kind of do waste management. What prisoners? Gareth and A-Dom search the floor and find it to be mostly for storage, servants and waste management of the building. A-Dom: We were looking for some kind of prisoners what were being interrogated... ummmmmmm.... yeahhhhhh..... umm..... Alrick, albert, some guy in Jara’s horse pack... Gareth: Auric! Servant 1: He was investigating the anathema. His prisoners would be at the jail. A-Dom: Where is the jail? Servant 2: The government section of town... near the courts. A-Dom: (depressed) So... not this building... but a different building... yeah.... Gareth: (to the servants) You guys should leave. Servants: Can you get us out? A-Dom: On one condition. You tell all the slaves you were saved by Solars. Servants: Sure we can do that! A-Dom: And the Solars are here to save you... from the Dragon Bloods. Servants: Sure, whatever. A-Dom and Gareth each grab one and jump out. On the way down, they see that one of the additional buildings that fell onto the tower is on fire. Green fire. Gareth: A-Dom there is green fire over there. A-Dom: Duh, duh, da, duh, yup. Things got demon-ed up. Won’t create a wyld zone or anything. Don’t worry about it. Gareth: Do you know where Jade’s Luck is? A-Dom: Do I know where Jade’s Luck is? No! I’ve been with you! We need to find Tiger. What should we do with them? Tiger goes down to the sewers, as A-Dom and Gareth are coming up. Tiger: You found more pathetic life forms to take care of? A-Dom: Yea we saved these two. The Dragon blood got away. Tiger: What about the ones with the demons? A-Dom: What ones with demons? Oh... the ones we needed to frame. Tiger: So you left all kinds of witnesses? Good job... A-Dom: Only one witness. Tiger: The Dragon Bloods, the Dragon Blood monk, the demons, those two... A-Dom: Demons died. Tiger: Not permanently. (Sigh) I suppose we should leave, and not worry about framing anyone anymore because that’s obviously not going to work anymore. Find Jade’s Luck... You didn’t even look for the Dragon Blood assassins did you? A-Dom: Hey there was a lot of stuff going on. Thing falling. Trying to save things that weren’t really there. Tiger: So you didn’t even save the prisoners in the basement? A-Dom: They weren’t in the basement. They are in the jail. Tiger just walks off to find Jade’s Luck. A-Dom and Gareth go running after him. Gareth: (irritated) Where are we going? Tiger: To Jade’s Luck and Bianca. Gareth: (more irritated) Where are they? Tiger: This way! Gareth: I need to learn a charm... right now... ________________________________________ Jade’s Luck works on telling Chris about how great the Unconquered Sun is while they are sitting around. Chris starts to really enjoy hearing about the Unconquered Sun. Since things are going well Jade’s Luck tells her, that she won’t be a slave anymore. Tiger, A-Dom, and Gareth find Jade’s Luck, Bianca and Chris in the undercity. It is around 2am. Jade’s Luck: (Old Realm) This is my friend Chris. Do your best not to scare her. A-Dom: (Old Realm to Chris) Hello Chris! I’m A-Dom! (He waves to her too) Chris looks confused and waves back. Jade’s Luck sums up recent events for Gareth. Gareth sums up more recent events. The group continues the conversation in Old Realm. Jade’s Luck: I was confused as to why buildings were falling down here. Gareth: Assassins. A-Dom: Anathema. Tiger: A-Dom thinks there are some Anathema prisoners we should go rescue. Gareth: We rescued two slaves... Tiger: There is a serial beheader running around the city. (A-Dom starts laughing hysterically) A-Dom: I’m assuming the prisoners are going to be executed tonight. After what happened... you know... :):):):).... there is going to be a shark running around Atlantis. Gareth: Shortly Atlantis may be becoming an unsafe place to live. Jade’s Luck: Is this “we should be evacuating our relatives RIGHT NOW” as in “Mother I need you to go on a vacation.” Gareth: You see just yesterday we were on the edge of a house war. Tiger: But now they can blame anathema. So that’s out the window. A-Dom comes up with the idea of making the houses keep fighting by being seen publically, as an anathema working for a House. The group decides... House Sesus is the best option. Because, they know who the leader of the house is and where to find her, and they have a long tradition of actually working for House Sesus. Gareth and Jade’s Luck decide that it would be best to get their families out of the city as quickly as possible. Taking them to Opec island, then deciding where to go from there. Tiger volunteers to go break into Jail to find out about the prisoners, A-Dom goes to be in the same area in case Tiger needs backup. Gareth goes to get his family. Jade’s Luck goes to get her family. Bianca takes Chris to Gareth’s boat. Jade’s Luck: Oh we have a really neat book we need to get onto your boat. Gareth: Put it in your pocket and lets go! Jade’s Luck shows them the book. Jade’s Luck: I think this is your fault Gareth. Gareth: I bet that’s the condescending book. Jade’s Luck: Someone has to carry this to the boat, and I’m assuming we don’t want to walk along the streets. A-Dom: You know, we need an entrance to the sewers in Gareth’s Shop. Someplace where mortal’s couldn’t use it... we could hide it under the anvil. The group decides to stash the book in the undercity and come back for it at some later date. So the group heads out. There is a lot of patrols on the streets, etc. ________________________________________ 3am As Jade’s Luck gets closer to Jade Fox’s Tea House, she realizes something is wrong. As she gets closer she can see that the tea house is nothing more then a pile of ash and rubble. Jade’s Luck: Oh :):):):). Jade’s Luck starts running strait for the jail. ________________________________________ 3:15 am Tiger and A-Dom get to the Jail through the sewers. Tiger decides to look like someone else. A-Dom decides to do the same. Tiger: If trouble breaks out, I’m not sticking around. I’m going to escape as quickly as possible. A-Dom: (deadpan) Shocking. Tiger gets out of the sewers and sneaks up to the less used (the door on a secondary street, not the door on a major street) of the doors to the jail. Finding the door barred from the inside, Tiger walks through the door. The goes down to the lowest level below ground. He finds a very bored guard throwing cards into a hat. Tiger uses Spiderfoot style to crawl along the ceiling above the guard. He goes to the hallway with a long series of cell doors. He realizes the cell doors appear to be made of enchanted Jade. He starts looking through the slots in the doors and finds skeletons, old guy and skeletons, crying older woman, some of the women who are employed at the tea house, skeleton, and three other people he didn’t recognize in various cells. A-Dom sense Jade’s Luck approching through the sewers at a very high rate of speed. A-Dom: Oh that’s not according to plan. (Very chipper to Jade’s Luck) Hi! Jade’s Luck: (very nervious and talking fast) Theteahousewasburneddown and Ithinktheyhavemymother wehavetorescuethem. A-Dom: Tiger’s looking in on things. So I’m sure he’ll be running away soon. Jade’s Luck: After he runs away we can break down the walls and rescue them? A-Dom: (Shrugs) Sure. Tiger sneaks up on the guard and fatally stabs him through the chest. He then checks the prisoners log. Tiger out of pure paranoia looks up the old man first. Ulie “assisted an anathema who broke up a bar.” All the other prisoners have notes related to Anathema or heratics. Tiger goes up to the next level and waits for a guard to get bored. Then he sneaks up and kills that guard in one blow too. Tiger decides that it would be unreasonable and unnecessary to kill the guard dog. So he makes a muzzle out of what the guards had on them, sneaks up on the dog, muzzles it, and drags it into one of the ground floor cells before it fully wakes up. Tiger unbarred the door he came through then heads all the way down again, gets the keys from the guard and proceeds to let out the people on the lowest level of the jail. He finds Matron Jade and identifies her. He drops his disguise and explains they are escaping. Tiger then sends her to unlock the other employees of the Tea house. Tiger goes into Ulie’s cell. Tiger: Why are you here? Ulie: I was drinking with this really ugly woman one night. Next morning I wake up and they are dragging me down here. I don’t know! Tiger: If you can be quite and don’t make any noise I’ll let you out. Raise your hand if you agree. Ulie and one of the skeletons raises their hand. Tiger looks at the skeleton for a second, then opens the shackle on the skeleton and Ulie. Tiger makes the same deal with all the other prisoners. He then leads them outside and to the sewer grate where A-Dom and Jade’s Luck are standing. Jade’s Luck: (to Matron Jade) Where is mother? Matron Jade just starts weeping uncontrollably. Tiger: (to A-Dom) I’m betting it’s not good then. They get everyone into the sewers and close the sewer grate. Tiger: You all can leave now, unless she (Jade’s Luck) wants to bring you with us. Ulie: (looking at A-Dom) Do you have a sister that’s kind of ugly? Tiger: Kind of? A-Dom: Yea. Ulie: All I was doing was buying her a beer... A-Dom: That will teach ya. Tiger: Hit on better looking women. Ulie and a few of the others wander off. Jade’s Luck: Should we try and rescue mother? (Matron Jade cries harder) [/QUOTE]
