[GRIM TALES] Wulf Ratbane's SLAVELORDS of CYDONIA

[BryonD]

Joshua cranes his neck around to smirk at Haskins.

"As you say, Sarge. Though perhaps our lady should go along with us. May be the best way to assure the guards that we are just doing what must be done, for their boss, of course. 'Sides, its kinda hard to jump through a portal when you ain't there."

 

[Old One]

Brigitta

Brigitta cheeks turn bright red as a rather foreign blush suffuses her cheeks.

"You are exactly right, of course, Colour Sergeant Haskins...that would be just like a woman to go traipsing off without preparing properly. Thank you, as always, for your sound judgement. And thank you, gentlemen, all of you for your support in this endeavour."

She looks around, giving each of them a genuine smile.

"Let us return to the encampment post haste and gather our things. I think I have a way to get us back out without a problem, but I will need a piece of paper with Dr. Parthenis's writing on it...let us depart immediately!"

She starts for the door and stops.

"Teddy, toss a couple of rocks in that other crate and carry it back to camp. Pretend that it is very heavy...and we will take it straight to the Dr's tent. The rest of you, try to look all sweaty and complain about not feeling to well as we return to camp...we can say we have been exposed to something potentially deadly and that we need to recover an item from Dr. Parthenis's tent and return immediately. While most of us are doing that and creating a diversion, one or two of us can quietly gather our supplies and start heading back. Let's move quickly, keep the excitement level up and don't give people a chance to ask questions..."

She turns again and heads for the exit...

You guys are great.

Just make a list of equipment you are trying to round up.

Brigitta, you have some kind of forgery in mind? Assume I am staying out of your way until you lay out your plans for me.

OOC: Basically, Brigitta wants to pull the old "we discovered something very dangerous (that might have already cursed/infected us, so keep your distance) and Dr. Parthenis sent us back to drop off this item (points to crate) and collect some more supplies and try to work up an antidote and (see, here is our instruction letter scribbled hastily by Dr. Parthenis) we must get back immediately before it gets any worse" caper !

She won't do much of the talking, except to make up some official sounding medical mumbo-jumbo to support whoever is spinning the yarn and whip up a forgery of a "hastily scribbled" pass from Parthenis.

I think that'd be me

Teddy will do as he is instructed, loading a crate up with rocks and hauling it back to camp.

If the bluff works, maybe we should take the opportunity to search the Doctor's tent for anything useful. Teddy's search is crappy, so someone should accompany him. Teddy brought his stuff with him, I guess, so he doesn't need to get anything from our tent.

Feeling the warmth of the booze fill his chest, Bill only smiles at the others. "Don't be cross, I'm doin' ya a favor 'cuz drinkin' is bad for ye...or so they say." Hic!

Listening to the plan, Bill can only add, "I'm not sure how we are going to justify getting horses back in here."

 

[BryonD]

"You think we're gonna walk horse through THAT!!?
Mam, we signed on for this, but anybody goes forcing these animals into this is gonna have to get past me. "

If I've got the stuff on my char sheer, then I'm good to go.

Brigitta

[OOC: I am assuming I have everything I need with me (med kit, etc), but didn't know if people wanted to grab horses, some food, etc. Brigitta is ambivilent about taking horses through and would probably think it is more trouble than it is worth.]

Ok, then, somebody needs to start a To Do list, and I'll let you know what you'll need to do to check them off. I'll start:

• Return to camp
• Get your personal supplies
• Bluff your way into Dr. Parthenis' tent
• Search Dr. Parthenis' tent
• Retrieve your horses
• Bluff your way back out of camp/into Main Complex
• Coax your horses into the archway (Handle Animal)

Let me know anything else that you want added to your To Do list (even if it is contingent on other things) so we can get this moving along.

EDIT: Haskins, don't forget that you lost some stuff at the river.
