Heroes, Inc., Day 2: Goldenight

[Hypersmurf]

As she says that, the huge half-ogre pulls two tied up men out of the carriage. One is bleeding from his mouth and nose and has a very broken arm, the other has a pair of arrows in his thigh, very red eyes, a stab wound in the shoulder, and several burn marks on his chest. Likely the first was the one that ran into Durodan, and the second was stabbed, shot, and scorching rayed by Danilo, Dalin, and Shara, respectively.

"These may be useful to you, boss," Durodan says, addressing Fin.

"Now you're just showing off," Fin accuses with a pleased grin. "Survival bonuses usually apply for keeping the clients alive - keeping the assassins alive too is an unexpected surprise. Excellent work, gentlemen, Shara."

"Can you see the Thanns settled, Shara? Make sure there's something available to drink to calm their nerves... Durodan, Dalin, get these boys locked away. You're still on duty, I fear... keep an eye on them until I can have you relieved. I'll have something to eat and drink brought down soon."

He greets Danilo and the other Thanns politely; once they're on their way, he motions the other members of the team over.

"Arundel's augury says there's still a possibility of sever danger in the next hour. The night's not over, ladies and gentlemen... I'm afraid we can't relax just yet. My inclination right now is to send Jornac away - any objections?"

"We know him to be somewhat evil. Sending him out unsupervised would be folly, especially in this situation." Alethia said. "I'd Keep him here where we can keep an eye on him." she told Fin quietly.

"We know him to be somewhat evil. Sending him out unsupervised would be folly, especially in this situation." Alethia said. "I'd Keep him here where we can keep an eye on him." she told Fin quietly.

"Agreed."

"He may be evil but we don't know if he is actively working against us. There are plenty of evil citizens in this city, that does not mean we should deny them protection. Besides, I would like to learn more of this man. He should be watched certainly, perhaps secretly."

"I am loathe to throw so many resources at him since we have so many other needs within the compound, but perhaps I can be his visible shadow and Kaarlo can assist unseen. I'd also highly recommend getting Kiran sober ASAP. What she has to tell us may shed some light on this man and his motives."

"One last thing, we need to be very careful of who we speak openly in front of. If a private conversation is required let us use an inocuous gesture like tugging on your left ear. Agreed?"

 

[Falkus]

"I agree, let's keep him here where we can keep an eye on him," said Dyria. "I also volunteer to interrogate the prisoners. I knew a few tricks that can get 'em to talk without having to hurt them."

OOC: How tall is our building, anyway?

 

[Ranger Rick]

Looking to the others, Kaarlo interjects, "Should we allow Jornac to stay or should he be escorted home?"

 

[Steve Gorak]

"We know him to be somewhat evil. Sending him out unsupervised would be folly, especially in this situation." Alethia said. "I'd Keep him here where we can keep an eye on him." she told Fin quietly.

"Lets lock him up." Murdoch says abruptly. "This way, he'll be safe and won't endanger anybody; the situation warrants it. We can have our folks question him about being evil. Who knows, he might have an interesting story..." After a pause, Mudoch adds:"one this is for sure: we cannot trust him".

With that, Murdoch flies straight up and hovers over the compound. He looks about the city, trying to see anything unusual like burning buildings, remaining swarms, or anything else.

 

[Falkus]

"Personally, I prefer to shy away from locking people up without a reason to do so," snapped Dyria, crossing her arms after Murdoch took off.

 

[Ranger Rick]

OOC: lock up who? Jornac or someone else?

"I don't think we need to lock him up..."

 

[kirinke]

"There are many things which may cause an evil taint, without the person doing anything except being in the wrong place at the wrong time." she told the others, her expression momentarily bleak and incredibly sad.

Screams. Heart-rending pain. Hopelessness. she pushed the ugly memory away. She learned long ago to not to let it control her.

 

[Hypersmurf]

"There are many things which may cause an evil taint, without the person doing anything except being in the wrong place at the wrong time." she told the others, her expression momentarily bleak and incredibly sad.

"In this city, tonight, we don't give the benefit of the doubt," Fin replies grimly. "All right, Timrin - you want him, he's yours. Kaarlo, in the background. Dyria, the prisoners are with Big D and Little D. I'll see to Kiran."
