Destiny's Tears: Varylys (Almost at Chapter 1!)

"We're not hunting their client . . . we're hunting them," Zykovian replied. "It worked well for you in the past . . . and I think it's important to keep your eye on the goal. We know what they look like, but have no idea what the client looks like. Why theorize on one side when we know a certainty on the other, yes?"

 

[FreeXenon]

Mhrazhar Mojiin Inquisitor

Rhystil[sblock]I will Detect Corruption in the slight pause of eyebrow raising. If I Detect something I will stall until I have done all 4 rounds to pinpoint it.

If everything goes OK I will do the same upstairs as I was planning to do.[/sblock]

Mhrazhar looks to Zykovian and raises an eyebrow, nods in agreement, and then to looks to Alire and says "I feel it too. We should decide as a group. We have survived this far by working together."

"They're ninjas, right? They're probably hiding in the shadows somewhere where we can't find them waiting for the client--they could be across the street, in another building, or who knows where. The client, on the other hand, could be some wimpy aristocrat who could thus be the weakest link. At least that's what Melody said. If you guys disagree, then let's all go up and talk to her--but quickly then."

[SBLOCK=Mhrazhar]Mhrazhar detected some faints and a few moderates already earlier. Just on some of the random patrons. It's the same now, nothing new at least.[/SBLOCK]

OOC: Who's talking Molpe or Alire?

 

[FreeXenon]

Mhrazhar, Mojiin Inquisitor

"To be more precise we are hunting the Crazan. I do not care who has it.
Lets all go upstairs and discuss it. I have an idea, not a good one, but an idea none the less. "

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Alire in both cases. Molpe is this colour and usually won't talk business like this without putting in petulant little comments and making it clear she'd rather be doing someone and is upset with this, at least the last few times )

 

[Keia]

OCC: Okay thanks (close colors when both are present). So we have Molpe, Abdiel, Mhrazhar, Lyveria and myself still? And everyone else has turned in or something? I think that's right, I haven't forgotten someone have I?

*Zykovian nodded in agreement to Mhrazhar and helped the ladies with their chairs, plunking down a few coins so that there wouldn't be any issue with them up and leaving from the bar maid.*

 

[FreeXenon]

Once everyone, and the tables and chairs have been dealt with Mhrazhar will lead the way.

[OOC:

BTW what the heck is retcon?]

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Right, you five plus Alire, and then Melody is upstairs with Fedowin and Priya)

"Very well, let's hurry."

*Alire leads them upstairs and then up again to the third floor. She points to the last door on the left.*

"Here we are," she knocks on the door, "Melody, we're all here and we need to talk to you about your plan."

*She opens the door, which leads into a large suite, with an interior hallway that has a side branching path inside the room leading to a bathroom and then continues slightly before opening up into a larger room further on that can't be fully seen without walking forward.*

*And as they are walking in to meet Melody, several things happen in rapid succession.*

*First, a kunai (a small dagger used by ninjas and often coated with poison) flies from Alire's hand into Molpe's chest, and the Nymph drops to the ground motionless and unbreathing, as Alire says:*

"So you're 'Yuri'. Filthy, dishonourable creature, you will die before your atrocities can be fulfilled."

*As she attacks, Alire's image blurs and fades, replaced with that of a supernaturally beautiful woman with slight Larakese features and long lavender hair.*

"Let me direct your attention behind me in the corner, it should be just in your sight right now," sure enough, Zykovian and Mhrazhar can see a ninja cloaked in dark ninja garb standing over Melody and Priya's unconscious forms with a knife to Melody's throat, "Don't make a false move or Melody will die--. We don't want to kill anyone else if we don't have to. We're just doing our job. You're going to submit to being restrained, and if you play nice, you're all free to go once the transaction is complete. Otherwise, we won't be so kind."

*As she finishes, she also seems ready to attack if the group proves blase to the lives of their friends.*

*Lyveria looks to Zykovian and does nothing for now.*

(OOC: Surprise round--12 + 12 = 24, Hit.
Molpe takes 3 Damage
Molpe's Fort vs Death Poison 7 + 2 = 9, Fail.

NinjaX has a Readied Action to Slit Melody's Throat

Initiative:

Ayame 15 + 12 = 27
???
Lyveria 16 + 3 = 19
Mhrazhar 14 + 1 = 15
Abdiel 11 + 2 = 13
Zykovian 3 + 2 = 5

Ayame readies.

Lyveria delays.

Mhrazhar's turn.)

[OOC: Holy going-to hell-in-a-hand-basket, Batman!!!

I am confused about this statement "So you're 'Yuri'. Filthy, dishonourable creature, you will die before your atrocities can be fulfilled.", so Alire/Ayame/Larakese woman says this to Molpe? Or to someone else? Have I heard of a Yuri? Or is the real Alire here as well and she is saying it to the Alire/Ayame/Larakese woman?

How is everyone setup? Where is everyone? How far away is NinjaX with Molpe and Melody? Where is Alire/Ayame/Larakese woman with respect to me and everyone else? .. and where the hell is the real Alire, Fedowin, and Priya? Mommy! ]
