Heart of Artifice Temporary 2--Aethelus Alone

"Yes I am a Spark, had I Thelanium I might be able to create something but at the moment I find myself without the resources." he says hoping he is not giving away too much.

"Given that we are not under any particular time pressure now that we know there are no easy tracks for the 4 of us to follow, yes I think it would be pertenient to get some."
 

"Of course, sir."

(OOC: To save the time that would be spent in doubling back, Jade is willing to lend Aethelus a small amount of thelanium if he needs it--she says she's sure he can repay the favour some later time, and it is in pursuit of a dangerous criminal after all. The unlikely quartet can thus return to their previous position with thelanium along)
 

ooc: sounds good to me.

"Alright now that we are back on track lets see if I can fashion something to help in our search." Aethelus pulls out the thelanium and tries to envision a creature similar to a dog that could track by scent and have excellent perception. He'd try to make sure it can talk like Lana to offer feedback.
 

(OOC: That'll take more time and thelanium than would a contraption that temporarily granted scent, but it works too)

*Aethelus concentrates on the image in his mind while holding the thelanium. He moves into a blur of action, almost unconscious of the steps he takes as he begins to fashion the new construct out of the materials he finds nearby. Before long, he has constructed, or at the risk of a pun, cobbled together, a small dog-like creature out of nearby cobblestones, cloth, and organic material, mixed in with the thelanium that flowed into the creation and helps compose many of the interior portions, where the magitechnology brings about the control mechanisms. The dog looks at him expectantly, wagging its little tail.*
 

ooc: he's still thinking in terms of creating creatures and things to do his bidding. I'd thought of that, but wanted to keep with the ideas he's working on.

Bending down to the dog he says, "There are tracks in this alley belonging to 4(?) individuals. One is me, I need you to find the tracks of the other individuals and follow them."

ooc: i don't remember exactly how many assailants there were, just use that number plus Aethelus.
 


"Beyond those scents present amongst the 5 of us, follow tracks departing this location in the easterly(insert correct direction here) direction. Inform us when or if those tracks diverge."
 

*The dog sniffs around and looks in that direction, then turns its head around in many different ways.*

"Assertion: Too many matches to pick out one without a sample."

"Hey boss, do you think that crossbow bolt I picked up from them might have their scent on it still? And if it doesn't could you use it to attune the dog to their signature or whatnot?" Lana wonders.
