Heroes, Inc., Day 1: Mysterious Strangers

[DM_Matt]

Tim says "No, not much needs to be added except that the city must be saved." He lays his left hand flat on the table while balling his right, also on the table, into a fist. Thats a signal for very evil. you guys have a system worked out. Left hand on table for evil, right hand for good, number of fingers outstreched indicating strength.

When ask about Alethia he opens his right hand, closes his left, and starts tapping his left thumb on the table.

The man says: "Illusion? I have no idea what you are talking about. Clearly you are overly suspicious."

No one senses that he is lying. Its possible that true seeing is instead picking up something about his true nature, rather than his true form.

Meanwhile...

[OOC, The company has some extra horses that can be used while on duty, so Dyria can be using one]

'Peregion says "Come, let us go at once."

[What formation? Any precautions? You will be going the quickest route, which is along the cliffride down to the docks.]

 

[Falkus]

Dyria will try to stay as close to Peregion as possible, while continually watching for people following them or possible ambushes.

Another pair of cats, one slight and grey, one shaggy and of no one colour in particular, have emerged from who-knows-where, and are amusing themselves by rubbing against Alethia's shins, purring loudly.

None of the cats appear to have any interest in approaching the Mulhorandi...

Fin glances at the woman, the barest trace of irritation at the interruption quickly masked.

His eyes flick once to the ring on her finger, but he evinces no other reaction.

"If you're interested in a position, why not come by our offices in the morning, and set up an interview," he suggests mildly. "Assuming the city is still mostly in one piece, ancient demons notwithstanding."

He gives Sir Timrin another of those Significant Looks, nodding slightly toward Alethia with a fractionally-quirked eyebrow.

"If I go with you, you can keep an eye on me and I can prove myself at the same time." she said mildly. "I dislike sitting around doing nothing while innocents are being killed." she smiled at the cats, bending down and scratching one behind the ears, almost absently.

I guess you used the earlier version of my post. I had forgotten the mounts actions and edited them in. You are currently held by the mount.

[OCC: No sweat, I'll just re-do Murdoch's action. By the way, did the arked eldrich blast miss the mount?]

Murdoch will call upon his latent power to blast the mount with an eldrich blast
[OCC: use of quicken SLA: eldrich blast, +14 hit, 6d6+1 damage]

He will then invoke his regular vitriolic eldrich blast onto the mount again [if it's still alive], AND make it arch to its rider

[OCC: +13 hit (+14 if within 30ft), Damage: 8d6 +1 (if closer than 30 ft) + 2d6 for 2 rounds with vitriolic blast (ref save once to avoid additional damage) + same for second target]

The man says: "Illusion? I have no idea what you are talking about. Clearly you are overly suspicious."

The corner of Fin's mouth quirks in a crooked half-smile.

"In my experience, there's no such thing."

"If I go with you, you can keep an eye on me and I can prove myself at the same time." she said mildly. "I dislike sitting around doing nothing while innocents are being killed." she smiled at the cats, bending down and scratching one behind the ears, almost absently.

Fin flicks one last look at Sir Timrin, seated at the table, then gives a short nod.

"Sure, why not?" he agrees mildly. "Arundel - if you could make my apologies to Hannah? I won't be joining her tonight. Catch up as soon as you can."

"You got it, boss," the lanky priest replies, and with a nod for Sir Timrin and a smile for Crimson, he makes his way into the crowd of revellers.

"All right," Fin finishes, squaring up to Goran once more. "Lead the way, sir."

OOC: Arundel seeks out the nearest of Fin's network, and passes on the information about the encounter, with instructions to get word back to Hannah at the organisation's headquarters. If there are any Big Guns about, she'll let them know what's happening, and dispatch messengers to any she knows the whereabouts of.

As soon as Arundel's let someone know, he'll head for [describes location at docks]. /OOC

"My name is Alethia Sadiniel, cleric and ranger of Selune." she said, almost formally, giving him a half-bow, enough to show him honor and respect, but not enough to make him think she is subserviant. "I am glad to help those with honor in a good cause," she added with a quick grin. "Plus, I hear you pay well too."

"Hmm," Fin replies abstractedly. He looks in her direction, but seems not to be looking at her; for a moment, he appears lost in thought, his eyebrows drawn down and his left thumb drumming absently on his thigh.

Just as the pause is about to become awkward, he gives his head a little shake, and actually sees Alethia again. "Fin Caisson," he identifies himself. "Sir Timrin Goldmantle. Crimson."

Fin extends a black-gloved hand; the Eye of Helm the Watcher is stitched in blue into the palm.

 

[kirinke]

She grinned broadly, taking his hand in a firm grasp. "Pleasure to meet you. I look forward to working with you and your group." she looked at the glove with helm stitched prominently on the hand. "I've worked with Helm's people before and on the whole, I've had good experiences with them. I don't think we'll have a problem."

"... hmm," Fin replies.

OOC: I can't say for certain, but I'd assume Tim would have something Helmy prominently displayed as well. It's a paladinny sort-of thing to do...? /OOC

 

[Cursed Quinn]

Zephyr will stay close to Peregion as well, riding a horse.
