B6: The Veiled Society - IC

"Thank you" he says, taking a few steps but nearly stumbling as he tries to walk. "We have to get out of here now. There's a meeting tonight, the place will be crawling with them.

Yes, I know all about the Veiled Society now. A vicious criminal gang, run by the Radu family."

"The Radu. Theosius called them upstarts, and indicated they might have been behind the parade fracas we saw when we arrived," Barek says.

"I certainly don't want to put you at risk, sir, but I'll admit our current standing in town may depend on what we can ferret out of this meeting," Barek says. "We've had several misfortunes, starting with finding the remains of a murdered noble lass, Lucia Vorloi. We suspect ties between the murder and this society, but we've yet to find proof, and the local constabulary's made it rather clear that, barring evidence, they're likely to decide the poor woman was killed by us.

"We had meant to infiltrate the meeting, try to identify the primary actors."

"Ah. Yes, I've seen the guys who killed her. Of course, with me gone, they'll flee." He rests against the dirty wall, still barely able to keep on his feet.

"It's not a risk that I would take, but each end of this room has a secret door. You might get the jump on some of them that way. More likely, you'd get your throats cut."

"If we withdraw, then what?" asks the elf maid. "Will the Duke step in and deal with this threat? Or will more innocents continue to fall to the Society's devices until someone does deal with them?"

 

[kinem]

"I can't speak for the Duke. But I've no doubt that when I present the evidence, the Radu and their Society will be finished in this city. Of course, they will probably have had time to get out of town."

"My conscience would not like it if we allowed these vermin to escape." Celythia glances about at her companions. "If we really can get the drop on these folks, I think we should take the chance."

"I am nay gonna 'ets dat red-'eaded bas-turd, gets away again." Rezak says heading to one of the secret doors. He looks for it and any traps that may be around.

 

[kinem]

"That way" he points to the side further from the door you entered "leads to a large chamber where most of 'em would probably be.

The other way leads to the street, but there are rooms on the way, where the leaders like to hang out. There might be fewer enemies that way.

Before you do anything, how did you get in, and can you get me out?"

[sblock=Rezak]Rezak sees where the secret door must be. He doesn't see any traps.[/sblock]

 

[Rhun]

"We can get you out, yes. And if we can catch their leaders by surprise, than that is what we should do." The elf maid shrugs. "Chop off the snake's head, so to speak."

"We can get you out, yes. And if we can catch their leaders by surprise, than that is what we should do." The elf maid shrugs. "Chop off the snake's head, so to speak."

Barek nods. "With only the handful of us, going for the leaders seems the best option. I don't imagine we've the power behind us to take on the entire society, but capturing or defeating the leadership should throw the entire organization into dissarray."

Lifting the mace Rezak looks ready to move forward when the rest of the group is.
