Into Khybers Gate

[Erekose13]

"Now that looks like the stuff. Lets grab the lockbox and the crate and get out of here. Unless you think we need to make more of a mess of this place to hide our own tracks. We did come here asking about this stuff." says Bloodtalon.

 

[Knight Otu]

"That may be prudent. Think the owner got some alchemical stuff he could 'lend' us for that purpose. Agh, damn." Sedar starts to itch at his scarf.

 

[Erekose13]

"Lets remove the potential witness first, then start trashing the place. You alright?" asks Bloodtalon.

 

[Knight Otu]

"Probably a good idea. It's... let's talk about that itch later, in private, ok?"

The tiny homonuculus watches you approach and begins to scurry away, but a quick sword thrust carves it in two before it can get very far. It lets out a high pitched wail before it stops moving. You lift the crate and the chest out of the hole in the floor and carefully replace the trapdoor. Johanel helps by finding some alchemical ingredients that will combust quickly. He even manages to find a bottle of alchemist fire to act as the ignition source. He turns it over and heads to the door to make sure the coast is clear.


OOC - Anything else you want to do before you leave?

 

[Erekose13]

Bloodtalon looks on at the destruction they have caused, happy to have at least inflicted a little damage on an operation that brings so much pain into his world. This is why he became an adventurer, to defend the downtrodden against those who would take advantage of them.

ooc: nope thats good, lets try and make good our escape.

 

[Knight Otu]

(Yeah, let's scram. We should have what we came for.)

 

[SelcSilverhand]

Johanel tosses the flask of alchemist fire into the room and it explodes with a crash. Fire quickly spreads across the fluids you scattered around the room. The three of you hurry away through the streets. It is still fairly busy at this time of night so you are able to blend in with the crowds. Not long after you leave the shop, you see a pair of heavily armed gnolls and several goblins cut through the crowd and head back the way you just came from. Like the rest of the crowd, you move out of the their way and then hurry on after they've passed. Just to be safe, you take some time checking your back trail to make sure you aren't being followed before you head back to the surface.
The trip back to the Bountiful Cup is uneventful. The night is clear, but windy as you make your way along the dark bridges between the towers. From outside the tavern you can see all the lamps are lit and the sound of revelry carries out into the streets. Inside music is playing and many of the revelers are singing a Brelish victory song. You make your way to the back and search the secluded tables until you can locate Crei sitting alone. He greets you and says, "You've made it back! Wonderful, I was pacing half the night worried about how you were faring. Did you succeed? Were you able to find the method they were using to disguise the Dragons Blood?"

 

[Erekose13]

Bloodtalon is cautious and continues to hide himself beneath his cowel until they are in the back room. Once they are hidden he removes it, revealing his crow-like beak. "I believe we have recovered everything that they used to create it as well as some samples. We grabbed everything that was hidden in his secret lockbox for your perusal. Given that we are not alchemists ourselves we can only hope that this is the right stuff." He then hands over the lockbox to Crei (from where ever they stored it, if they even did).

 

[Knight Otu]

Sedar nods but remains silent, hoping for the best but prepared for the worst (or so he thinks).
