Heroes, Inc., Day 1: Mysterious Strangers

[DM_Matt]

Awaiting Murdock's actions for the battle scene. Oh, and I accept your preplanning. Beucase I knew you wouldnt get that stuff ahead of time I ensured that there really was nothing you could have done to prevent them from getting the drop on you. They teleported in behind the cover of the cliff and struck right away.

Since you will impersonate her for a moment at least, Aleena is a Wiz10, so fighterish behavior ad not casting spells might give you away. Her father tries to keep her from danger, but she likes to fight, and when seriously and directly threatened she favors save or disable spells like Polymorph Other or Dominate Person.

[sblock] Would Alethia as a guest be wearing arms? Sensibly, she'd probably at least be wearing her mace, as a symbol of Selune if nothing else[/sblock]

Alethia smiles, easy in the company, enjoying her meal. It had been a rough year, culmulating in a rather nasty battle with a crazed necromancer bent on unleashing something rather unpleasant. Along with the followers of Helm, the necromancer was stopped. During the fighting, a stray arrow had gutted her horse, killing him instantly. She hadn't managed to find a new one.

Though seemingly relaxed, she is always alert, eyes on possible exits, possible enemies, training that has been ingrained in her since she was young. Her eyes were drawn to the jewlry bedecked, even barbaric looking group coming towards them.

Crimson looked at the quintet as the approached, looking for anything out of the ordinary. "Looks like we have some interesting company approaching . . . ," Crimson commented.

Arundel returns, and he and Fin hold a quick murmured conference.

"Mulhorandi gods - evil Mulhorandi gods," Fin replies quietly to Crimson. "But not Mulhorandi displaying their symbols. Arundel warns the omens point to a chance of serious danger, soon."

Neither Fin nor Arundel have come armoured to the evening's festivities, though the clothes both wear have benifited from temporary protective enhancements. While both men have knives, neither carry their preferred cudgels.

Fin absently scratches the ears of the coal-black cat on his shoulder, while a pair of ginger moggies wend their way back and forth about his boots, but his attention is on the newcomers.

Do the faux-Mulhorandi appear to be deliberately seeking us out? Or is it just Brownian motion in our direction? /OOC

[sblock]Alethia probably knows somebody here, your call if you think she knows anyone in the organization. If not, I'll play it as if she doesn't know anything. Also, would she know anything about these jokers (the sobek/annubis types) +7 knowledge religion[/sblock]

"Well then, you lead, and I'll follow," replied Dyria to Peigeron, her hand dropping down to the handle of her whip-dagger. Something like this probably meant trouble, which meant possible danger. Better to be prepared.

Ooc:
If Alethia isn't in on this, I'm planning on having her follow her 'table mates', seeing as how they're interesting. IE armed.

OOC: Not very armed!

 

[Hawkeye]

"I only intend to go to our naval base just south of the commercial portion of the harbor...I do not plan to handle the ships alone, but I must organize the response. and confer with the commanders there."

"I understand my Lord. How do you wish to travel there?"

[Cursed Quinn]

Zephyr had been standing about five feet from Piegeron when the announcement came.

"So much for parties. Several red warships have been spotted at sea by one of our skyknights, and they are header our way. We need to get to the harbor."

Zephyr looks slightly worried.

"My lord", he says. "Do you think we can resolve this situation peacefully or is it likely to end in violence? "

"Mulhorandi gods - evil Mulhorandi gods . . . But not Mulhorandi displaying their symbols. Arundel warns the omens point to a chance of serious danger, soon."

"I would concur with that assessment, also . . . they are under an illusion of sorts," Crimson explained quietly, "They appear much older, so withered and aged that I find it hard to believe they live . . . though they don't seem undead."

Crimson looked to one of the others to speak with the gentlemen while she observed and tried to learn more about them.
