(Adventure) A Tidy Profit... [Judge: Uriel]

[Scorpio]

D'Artagnon looks even more flustered.
"This is ridiculous. I don't care if everyone goes, or if I go myself, whatever! But it need to be done with haste, and quiet!"
With that he turns to the cabin door to look at the locks.

OOC: As far as I can see, there's no way anyone would join up with D'Artagnan and Gurian. Besides a brief mention of how they've been accused of something they didn't do, and a mention that they might need help 'beating' three others, they've done and said nothing to encourage three passersby to join up with them, or even to simply convince them of their goodwill. They're not acting remotely like people who might be looking for help. Therefore...

To D'Artagnan and Gurian, Atella says "Well then, good luck and farewell then."

Too bad. I'm pretty handy with locks too.

Atella heads back to the Red Dragon Inn.

With that he turns to the cabin door to look at the locks.

They are definitely locks, and they are definitely locked.

Atella heads back to the Red Dragon Inn.

As Atella turns to leave, he catches a glimpse of a lantern in an alley at the far end of the dock. As soon as he notices it, however, the light winks out. It happened so suddenly that he's hardly certain he actually saw the flicker of light. He can vaguely make out movement in the shadows near the alley, but it could just be the faint after-images from the mysterious flash of light.

Atella heads back to the Red Dragon Inn.

"Well, Haisi, it looks like that's settled. We're done here." Jo turns to follow Atella out of the docks area, Haisi flying above them.

(OOC: I assume Jo sees the same flicker as Atella. Tell me if otherwise.)

Jo does not at first suppose that the light has anything to do with him.

OOC: Nope. Atella is the only one to have noticed.

(OOC-What, you guys are leaving? This is RP'ing! "they've done and said nothing to encourage three passersby to join up with them, or even to simply convince them of their goodwill"- Of course not, they are on a boat that is not thiers in the middle of the night! Play along, let's get to something good. I'm RPing a cocky ranger type in D&D- of course he's an a---hole!LOL....until you get to know him! I think Jack has a cool game here...so don't leave yet...)

Of course, just as I'm playing a cautious character who doesn't plunge into dangerous situations he doesn't understand which he knows he doesn't understand. I'm not blaming you for D'Artagnon's personality; you shouldn't blame me for Jo's.

I don't think it matters whether we decide to leave... we're about to get waylaid. }

OOC: Uhh... we're RPing too? Are you saying if your character were in the same situation he would think "We'll, he's an a--hole, but that's ok! Sure, I'll go down alone into a constricted space with him, doesn't matter if he's wanted by the authorities! He's probably just a cocky ranger type, so no explanations necessary! I'm sure he'll be cool once I get to know him!" I don't think so!

In a low voice, Atella says "Jo, I think there's an ambush in that dark alley up ahead. I say we slip casually into the darkness between the lanterns and wait. What say you?"

"OK", Jo whispers. He moves his hand toward his spear, so he could wield it quickly if needed, and follows Atella.
