[QUOTE="gideonpepys, post: 7121842, member: 79141"] [b]Session 14 (137) Part One - Mirsk Station[/b] MIRSK STATION Korrigan called in Matunaaga and both joined the unit in Trekhom. Korrigan brought with him a royal warrant for the arrest of Leone Quital in the matter of the atrocity in Flint three years earlier. They boarded the first train to Mirsk, hoping there were no delays due to the early Autumn snow. Xambria approached Matunaaga while on board the train. “I’d like to train with you, if I may,” she said. “Because you’re the only one I think can keep up with me.” Matunaaga raised an eyebrow while Xambria searched for a better way to put this. But he agreed to help her work on her unarmed combat skills. They prepared to face Quital, removing all metallic items, weapons and armor. Matunaaga had brought obsidian weapons for Korrigan and Gupta. Uru made a bow and a blowpipe. Xambria planned to exit her clockwork body and support the team in any way she could from spirit form. Gupta contacted her friend Braids Hashem, a Drakren who had come to study at the Battalion back when she was in training. He did not operate near Mirsk, but she was able to notify him - and through him his superiors – that the RHC would be pursuing the target of an international arrest warrant. Precise details were not shared, in case of espionage, but Braids agreed to warn the authorities in Mirsk as close to the time as possible. In Mirsk, Leon talked to the station staff to find out what platform the final train would arrive at. He discovered that it would split and the passenger carriages would come in ahead of the private cars. The private cars would wait on a siding for the freight cars to be decoupled, and enter the station separately about ten minutes later, onto the south platform. While he learned all this, Leon spotted a dwarf in the back station office who appeared to be taking a keen interest in the conversation and who pretended disinterest when spotted. He sent Rahu Ketu to call in Gupta. She popped her head through the back office door and politely erased the dwarf’s memory. They crossed the tracks to a maintenance/storage area close to the siding where the private carriages would wait. Korrigan persuaded the rail workers they found there that they should take an early rest break. Gupta used a Docker hand signal on a worker who wore a black and white checked scarf, and he encouraged the others to cooperate. Xambria exited her clockwork form and buried it in the snow some distance away. It was disturbing to see how the face reverted to anonymous blankness. Matunaaga climbed up on to the roof of the building. Xambria followed him. Matunaaga pointed out that stealthing on rooftops was kind of his thing but Xambria was not to be dissuaded. They waited. The train arrived on time. The passenger cars were decoupled and taken into the station first by a second locomotive. The freight cars and private cars were pushed backwards down the siding to meet a third locomotive. As this began to draw the freight cars away, Uru struck: The plan was that Uru would first establish if Quital was in the private cars, and alert the others if not. If he was, he would attack and the others would in any case be right behind him. Uru walked through shadow and found himself in an unlit bedroom compartment. He eased open the door to find Quital sipping wine and humming the strains of an opera. He raised his blowpipe and fired. Quital’s magical cloak writhed up around his exposed neck and intercepted the dart. At once, Quital was out of his seat, searching for his assailant. He gave a cry of recognition when they alighted on Uru, and at once gestured to a gilded cage hanging over his table. Inside the cage was a little songbird that instantly perished in a cloud of feathers as the cage inverted, flew across the room and reverted to form around Uru, squeezing him tightly and pressing sharp gold-tipped barbs into his flesh. Quital gave a howl of triumph, as he returned the cage to its hook. “Enjoy your bespoke confinement! There you will remain, you creeping jungle savage, until I have dealt with your friends.” He strode to the far door, threw it open, and shouted an alert to his guards. [/QUOTE]
