Malvoisin's War of the Burning Sky - IC Thread

'Is this Torrent an idiot? Surely she remembers that I introduced myself immediately before any of the others did...Nonetheless...'
OOC: I thought that Cassandra had given her name before the others came in, so an introduction may have been in order for the benefit of the other PCs, not Torrent. Didn't mean to make Torrent seem stupid, sorry. ;)

Xander considers the question of the walls as he takes a healthy slug of beer from his mug. He looks around at the others, wondering how much of a burden they would be when it came to escaping the city. "The walls are an easy thing, for me at least. If I lowered a rope once I gained the walltop, perhaps the rest of you could follow?"
Torrent makes a face. "The walls are heavily patrolled. I think it would be a very difficult thing to get over them undetected, even if the walls are an 'easy thing' for you."

"I am Aridha," the brown-mop-headed girl in the leather clothes says shortly. She seems almost sullen saying this much.

"As for escaping the city...is there a place we could go under the wall. Maybe in a spot where water leaves the city?"
Torrent shakes her head. "There aren't any major water bodies that come in or out of Gate Pass. And, if you're thinking of the sewers...well, they actually drain into caverns under the city. They lead down, not out."

[sblock=Cassandra, Knowledge: Local Check]
Cassandra knows from her past smuggling operations that Torrent's words are true. Finding a way out under the walls would be extremely difficult.[/sblock]
 


Unable to think of anything more complex than simply walking out the front door at different intervals so they would not look like a flock of snow birds taking wing, Markus waited to listen to the other plans.

"So what do you suggest then, Torrent? You've obviously given this some thought."
Torrent nods. "Sure enough. Trying to fight our way out is out of the question...we'd never make it past all those guards. And looking for another route, well....I don't know of any. So, I think we need to use subterfuge. And for that, we'll need some help. I think we need to find someone with political power who is sympathetic to the resistance. With that kind of help, we may be able to obtain authorization to leave. Another thought I have is that we might see if we can get some magical help from Gabal's school. There's no love for the Ragesians there."

Torrent pauses to get some feedback on her ideas.
 

Considering the question, Xander replies quickly."I'd love to help with ideas, but I'm rather new to the city's political arena...I do not know of anyone who could help us get out. I don't have a problem with checking out Gabal's. Those wizards are alright in my book."
 

"While I have been part of the militia here, they have no love for me. I cannot help you find people with such connections."
 

'Gabral! What in the blazes was he thinking? If he could get me out of here, he should have told me that. He puts himself at risk with whatever game he is playing. As for the Council, well, I already tried to ask them myself.'

(OOC: :lol: You could have told me if Gabral was the next contact and I'd have changed my hook a bit ;))
 

"Magic seems like the easy way over if Gabral is amenable. I can't see why he wouldn't be if I were in his position. Heck I'd be surprised if he didn't want to come with us." replies Taren.
