[QUOTE="Cerebral Paladin, post: 767115, member: 3448"] Session 3 After a brief discussion, the group decides that they need to recover the statue from Sildra immediately. If Tendros has decided to betray them, the statue could already be moving. After some brief efforts to make sure they are not being followed, the group heads down into the Docks. The Docks is one of the poorest and roughest of Lir Sanek's quarters. Melania lives in the quarter and knows it well, while Dove and Ginara have both spent more than their share of time in the area, looking for excitement or trouble. Lhovrik's few visits, slumming with friends, are memories he tries to ignore, and its unclear Aurora has been to the Docks at most once or twice. Travelling in the Docks could be dangerous for the more genteel members of the group, but during daylight, travelling in a group of five should be safe enough. The group soon stands at an intersection. If Tendros's information is accurate, Sildra's place should be in a boarded up storefront on the bottom floor of a tenement building, about 100 feet away on the side street. The street isn't crowded, but a few other people are milling around or travelling on the street. The group begins discussing how to proceed. Ginara says, "Dove and I should go take a look at the building, see if there are any back exits or the like, before we do anything further." Lhovrik frowns. "That's too dangerous. We should stick together as a group." "If we stick together, we'll be too obvious." "Maybe we should just storm in right away," Sister Aurora suggests, fingering the longspear favored by her order. "That way, we don't need to split up and we take less chances." "I don't know if we want to attack," Melania responds. "Maybe we could get it back without violence." "But they're thieves! We shouldn't pay to get back what doesn't belong to them," Aurora argues. By now, most of the other people who were around them have wandered off, wanting no part of whatever is going to happen. "Look, in any event, we need more information first," says Ginara. "So Dove and I should go investigate." Lhovrik grudgingly concedes. "But we're coming after you if you're not back in five minutes." "Ten!" Dove bargains. Aurora makes a counteroffer, "Nine!" "Alright, nine," says Ginara. "I mean six!" "Too late, you already agreed to nine." "Well, I'm coming after you after six minutes, I don't care what Aurora agreed to," Lhovrik informs his sister. Sensing that they have as good a deal as they're going to get, Ginara and Dove begin strolling up the street. Exactly where Tendros said it would be stands a dilapitated tenement building, with a boarded-up storefront. Two tough looking men, both with swords at their sides, lean against the front of the building talking. An alley way leads off just before the building itself. Ginara and Dove turn to head down the alley. "Hey! Where do you think you're going?" growls one of the toughs. Ginara smiles. "Oh, we just realized we were on the wrong street, and wanted to cut through. Doesn't the alley go through?" "No, it doesn't." "Oh, my mistake." "Hmph. Why don't you just move along?" Not wanting to get into a fight yet, Ginara and Dove head down the street. Once they reach the next cross street, they loop around the block so they can rejoin their siblings without having to pass back in front of the guards. They rejoin their friends and describe what they saw. As they talk, Melania notices a group of people, all carrying weapons, heading down the main road towards them. She doesn't recognize all of them, but at least some of them are muscle for Gwert, a local underworld figure of Melania's acquaintance. She looks up at her friends, who are still talking about what to do. "We need to do this-- now. Let's go!" With Melania's firm encouragement, the five head down towards the building. Dove and Ginara are in the lead, with Melania and Aurora following, and Lhovrik brings up the rear, hiding his position behind his tougher allies. As they approach the building, the two guards look at Dove and Ginara with suspicion. "Hey, what are you to doing around here? What's going on?" Ginara and Dove start to bluff the guards, who are reaching for their weapons, but are interrupted when Lhovrik casts a sleep spell on the toughs. Next update: The campaign's first fight! [/QUOTE]
