[IC] Stealthy Missions: Prologue

[Inez Hull]

Orland shakes his head. "What sorta two bit operation is this? I thought we were meant to be doin' the thievin'!"

"Keep a watch out lads, an' I'll see what I can see." Orland takes the lantern and slowly walks around the clearing gradually zeroing in on the mooring point, peering intently at the ground and occassionally crouching to inspect the surface.


OOC: Makes a tracking attempt with Wild. Lore 8 and +2 for tracking humans if relevant

 

[Dalamar]

"A promising start, I must say."
The noble moves to find himself a good spot to sit on.

 

[Xael]

After about a second-long search, Orland finds clear footprints near the riverbank coming from downstream. They seem to belong to a humanoid. There are no trails going back that way, and the footprints end at the tree where the boat supposedly was.

"This isn't supposed to be any kind of operation.", the tail-man says, sighing heavily.

 

[Inez Hull]

"If ya really want to know, I can follow this trail back to its startin' point and we can get an idea of who mighta stolen yer boat. Or, on the other hand you can tell us where we are supposed to be goin' and we can try an' find another way there and then try and get this job started."

 

[Dalamar]

"If we're going downstream, we could just cut down a tree and use that as an impromptu boat."

 

[Xael]

"Well, we're supposed to go over the river and then upstream to a place that could be called a safehouse, but now that the boat is gone we have to go to a nearest bridge. And the nearest bridge is downstream, so it comes up to be quite a detour. But I'd like to get the boat back, so if you can follow the thief's trail, please do it."

 

[Inez Hull]

"A'right then, I'll see what I can do."

Orland moves back towards where he found the tracks and starts following them in the direction the boat thief originally came from. As he walks past Timothy he whispers out the side of his mouth, "Keep an eye out, 'specially on our guide. I'm sure there's more here goin' on than meets the eye. Pass the word to rich-boy", he nods to [Dalamar's character].


OOC: Dalamar, our characters never introduced each other IC but we can probably assume we did so during our tromp through the woods. However, I don't actually know your character's name myself !

 

[Timothy]

"Ok, I will"

Timothy will walk to [Dalamar] and whisper in his ear:

"I don't trust this, niether does orland ober there, keep an eye out for anything out of the ordinary"

He then walks to the guide.

"This isn't supposed to be an operation? Then please tell me why I was summoned here. I want some deatils.

 

[Xael]

"The others want to meet you before your actual work. You can bombard them with questions when we get to them, and they'll give you the mission details."

 

[Dalamar]

James Swift

"I'm sure everything'll be just fine. A theft isn't that uncommon. And our guide seems quite charming... except the tail bothers me."
James gets up and straightens his outfit before leaving after Orland with a good stride.
