Kiss of Darkness: Part 1--A Hint of Shadow

[unleashed]

OOC: Ah, the hop had me, as it seemed more like a simple jump between crates, rather than a 5 foot jump down onto unstable crates. Guess Baeleth will have to try getting the rope before he goes then.

(OOC: Right--it had to be down, at least a little, since it wouldn't make much sense for the fallen pile to be exactly as tall as a nonfallen one )

Obviously the actual stack that fell had to be lower, but who said surrounding crates...including the pile we came in above, didn't also lose a few to bring the height back to pretty much even.

[Sblock=OOC]Well, I appreciate the try, Unleashed. But really I am not that worried about it. Honestly. I'm not surprised that the rope cannot be retrieved by Rhaka.

Rhaka is willing to take her chances knowing that she'll likely die should the summoner come back or even one of his friends. Actually, to be honest, she is truthfully expecting to die figuring that they've wasted enough time running back and forth to the inn; and if the summoner really was working for someone more powerful then they should be getting a few uglies together and sending them back this way. That's part of the reason she is so insistant on Baeleth leaving with Verra and hopefully Valerie rather than stayng behind as a group.[/Sblock]

Rhaka replies, "Valerie and Verra should both be fine for transportation, but I'd recommend that Valerie be handled with greater care. You should be successful in your rescue attempt. But I do advise you to hurry back for Valerie. The sooner she is removed from here the better I will feel."

(OOC: True--no doubt his return is limited mostly by the distance to wherever he fled and the response time on gathering help )

Baeleth Dawnmist, Male High Elf Swashbuckler

“Well, I’d best get the rope then, so I can get back in, and then you can help me move Valerie through the trapdoor...I’ll take her first I think, so the inn staff might call someone skilled in healing to assist her immediately. I think that’s my best chance to get help for Kinjon and to get you out of here as well,” Baeleth says, as he heads up into the stacks to try getting the rope...if that won’t work, he’ll put the rope out the window and hope the guards don’t find it.

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: He'll need to send it back out the window into the alley)

*Baeleth climbs back and sends the rope back up the alley. Then he takes Valerie and moves her into the tunnel.*

(OOC: Just to make sure--you are not checking the other path yet? Because beyond killing Rhaka, the bad guys are also going to retrieve incriminating stuff that was there (or just kill you if you come to get it) if you give them time to return )

 

[Nonlethal Force]

[Sblock=OOC]Well, Rhaka isn't familiar with the tunnels in the first place and only heard a vague reference to one tunnel that Baeleth didn't explore. Not only that, but I'm assuming that since she has no means of light she can't really see too well to explore. I know she's no rocket engineer but she knows not to go into tunnels if you can't see.[/Sblock]

(OOC: Right--my 'you' is a sweeping statement that also includes Baeleth )

[Sblock=OOC]Oh, I figured. But I can't really speak for Unleashed. I simply replied more or less so you knew that I heard the question and could give you the input that I can offer.

And Unleashed ... Baeleth can pick whoever he wants to take back. Rhaka was merely suggesting Verra because she seemed to be the most stable and likely to survive the trip. But Rhaka won't object to whomever Baeleth takes, especially since Baeleth's logic is sound for choosing Valerie.[/Sblock]
