" I suggest we investigate what is happening at the lighthouse.

I also suspect these four man are expecting to caught us by surprise at the Inn. If we aren't there, there won't be a mess.

Once they realise we aren't at the Inn anymore we lose the surprise effect at the ligthhouse, so we must act quickly"


Once Villard finishes explaining what he heards to others he will go change in his room.

"The lighthouse?" Torren asks. "What is it with these guys and isolated buildings by the water?" He sighs. "I think Villard's plan is a sound one. We don't want to make any more of a fuss here than we have already, and that lighthouse is crucial to Freeport's livelihood. On the other hand, if we take this lot now, we can question them for more details on the lighthouse problem. We have them outnumbered now; maybe we can do it quietly. Opinions?"

Zoraster frowns at the word 'quietly'. "If we don't get them now, we'll just have to do it later. They're not going to give up on finding us just because we aren't around tonight." Did I just say that? I must be sobering up. Maybe I can grab another drink on the way to the lighthouse.

OOC: Zoraster = impulsive halfling; Zoroaster = ancient prophet
No prophets here. :p
 

Villard looks back at the impulsive halfling.

"Yes but anything other than total success will deprive us off the surprise effect at the lighthouse. If they know we are coming they will probably beef up security around it, making it harder for us to maneuver.
 

~I would rather take care of those here first, I do not know if they are specifically here for us. It did not seem like that when I first encountered them in the alleyway. I can position myself outside of their window to attack to catch them from two directions if we want.~ He pats his crossbow happily.
 

[occ] Villard might not know as he has not spent a lot of time here in Freeport, but there is only one lighthouse in the city... Milton's Folly as it is called it is a huge lighthouse out on the bay of Freeport, on a rocky island. It took five years to build and almost bankrupt the city. About 6 months ago on the night when Milton Drac went crazy and tried killing everyone on the Captain's Council, lots of people reporting seeing strange lights out above the lighthouse. But they disappeared fairly quickly. Today it is still maintained, with Orc and Half-Orc laborers carrying wood up to the top to maintain the fires there... there are a few guards but it does not have anything of value there...
 

[OOC: Hmm... The plot thickens :) ]

"Clearly speed is of the essence," says Torren. "I don't think we have time to convince the authorities that there is a problem. However we may be able to enlist their help anyway. If we take care of the scoundrels here and don't try to be quiet about it, the guards will surely return. Then perhaps we can lead them a merry chase to the lighthouse." He takes a last sip of his wine. "It's a stupid plan," he observes with a smile, "but it's the only one I've got."
