Heroes, Inc. : Rasheman

[kirinke]

Alethia ground her teeth in frustration. Maggie, Timrin, try to remember, we have another primary objective here. Secure the city first. Which means, mixing it up with Gebereth, getting rid of the Thayans and then dealing with what's beyond that ring. She said through Naverone, who cheerfully reproduced her frustration and tone of voice mentally. Oh, could someone examine that dragon thing? Naverone said there was additional enchantment under the tongue or something.

Maggie hesitantly reaches in there. She knows the fire is illusory, but it's still disconcerting. lifts the tongue up, and it stays up. Beneath it is the glowing red hemispherical control crystal for the ring, which lights up as soon as Maggie touches the crystal. "I can activate it, if you want. It does not seem to have any other functions other than transporting those inside to another location. I can't tell where exactly."

Timrin's eyes narrow at the same time you get the mental buzz from Naverone. He seems to reconsider his words and offers an apologetic smile to Maggie.

"Grab the crystal and lets continue. At least he won't be able to use it to escape."

"Now... let's go find the snake."

Before opening the door, he decides to detect evil trough it. If he detects nothing, he will open it and look out.

"Shando, would you take the lead at this point? Your stealth may give us an advance warning of what lies ahead."


OOC: I'm proposing Shando creeps ahead of the group about 30-40' and relaying back what he sees.

Proposed marching order: Shando -- Timrin & Dyria -- Sarah, Maggie, Murdoch -- Devan

Maggie says "I can't just grab it, it is embedded into the dragon head. I'd have to disassemble it and keep a piece. It could take a while."

Meanwhile, forward scouting indicates that there is no one on the second floor at all, although there are the sights and sounds of what seem to be household servants upstairs. Speaking of servants, a cleaning lady is headed upstairs.

Timrin's brows furrow as he sucks in a deep breath born of frustration.

"We cannot spare the time to disassemble it. Can we trap or ward it such that something bad happens if he tries to use it?"

Devan shakes his head, "Not I."

Timrin looks hopefully at Maggie but doesn't expect she would have such things prepared today.

More bad news rolls in from Shando a few seconds later when he relays Gebereth is nowhere to be found on this floor.

"Dammit!" Timrin curses. "Now what?"

"Proceed down to the lower floor or take a leap into the unknown?"

OOC: I'm still operating under the assumption we need to make a big, visible distraction within the city to help the resistance. DM-Matt, Is this correct?

 

[Hawkeye]

"Can someone place this woman to sleep or should I just try to knock her out before she raises an alarm?"

You need to attract the forces of Tiger Lodge and the Thayans, and especially need to kill Geberath. That may or may not require a flashy confrontation in the streets.

 

[DM_Matt]

Aaaaaaaaaanywho.......

 

[frostrune]

OOC: If it is up to me, I suggest we continue to work our way through the manor trying to avoid raising the alarm until something 'big' presents itself. If the manor proves empty move on to the Tiger Lodge itself. That ought to stir something up.

We need to engage and occupy their forces for a time, particularly the big baddies. If we can't find Gebereth, we need to move down the food chain.

 

[Hawkeye]

Shando hides in a convenient spot, waiting for the cleaning woman to make it up the stairs, then attacks her, nonlethal, trying to knock her out before she can raise an alarm. :\
