[QUOTE="gideonpepys, post: 7035535, member: 79141"] [b]Reboot Session 1 (or Session 124) - SCENE THREE[/b] Seobriga. The place is dusty, noisy and bright. Brakken of Heffinata was not present at the teleportation circle. Gupta struggles to get her bearings, following Campion Price-Hill through a crowded market place. Everyone is so huge! (She's been here before, but a very long time ago.) Gupta thinks to ask Campion if he’s Nigel Price-Hill’s nephew on his sister’s side, why his surname is Price-Hill. “Oh, I changed it. Wanted everybody to be well aware of my connections. Can’t harm the career, can it? But you already know what side your bread’s buttered, eh? What say we track down that divine scent of Beran coffee and get to know one another a little before pressing on?” Ignoring his advances, Gupta notices they are being tailed by a couple of half-orcs. Campion follows her gaze and begins to draw her by the arm through a busy market place. Then he yanks her down a narrow alley, where they both wait, pressed up against a wall behind a pile of crates that smell of old cabbages. The half-orcs duly follow. Campion shoots one in the chest and savagely pistol-whips the other. “Now then, chum. Who paid you to spy on us, eh? Out with it before you lose the other tusk.” Gupta spots movement down alleyway: a black-cloaked tiefling is approaching, sword drawn! He wears a ring. Gupta's sixth sense for these things tell her he's Obscurati. She notifies Campion, and draws her pistol. Immediately, webbing strikes her firearm from above and she is disarmed before she can pull the trigger. Another assailant on the roof! Campion is half-way through his next set of threats when he is struck twice: two shadowy figures seeming to materialise out of the shadows of the alleyway (so now they are surrounded). Obscurati skulks! Their poisoned shuriken have laid Campion low and they advance on the young ensign. But the tiefling teleports through Gupta and meets the skulks in melee, his fey blade flashing brightly. The figure on the rooftops joins the fray, as does Ensign Porras (suprising her rescuers with a nifty trick of her own), and before long the skulks are down. It dawns on Gupta that these two are members of Korrigan's Alpha Unit! Uru and his clockwork pal, Little Jack drop down from above, bringing news of more skulks approaching through the market, led it would seem by a birth-marked half-elf. Leon says he traced them to a halfway house and then followed them here when they responded to a tip-off. The half-elf is Rush Munchausen, bodyguard to Lya Jierre! Gupta decides to run. "Wait!" says Leon. "Come with us." Despite his fearsome reputation - they say he's a war criminal and a traitor - Gupta feels compelled to obey, not by magic or a charm, but by something akin to trust: an instinctive response to the disarming manner of this infamous tiefling. Having greeted Uru as if he hasn't seen him for a long time (weren't they together?) Leon stands and opens a Quick Portal, an act that appears to take great effort. “We'd better get out of here. One thing: Close your eyes and keep them closed. Don’t open them until I tell you to, no matter what happens. Better yet, Uru – throw up a cloud of darkness.” Uru and Little Jack help Gupta drag Campion Price-Hill though the portal into the black cloud... [/QUOTE]
