Paridon: The Dark Metropolis (Ravenloft)

"Well Calahan" Father Berman replies "if you play such infantile games, don't be surprised if its you who gets burnt. Depends from which side of a jail cell you like the view better. Also, my money says the mechanical maid would kick your ass from here to Barovia. Still want the assignment?"

Ru rolls his eyes. "How about we just turn the closed sign 'round, lock the bloody door, and beat feet to the clocktower?" he says, attempting to quickly do just that.
 


Darian hears nothing, as his determined gait takes him closer and closer to the clocktower, and to the vile creator of such monstrosities. Yes, he will finally know...
 


"If some poor soul - or some evil confederate of the clockmaker - wanders in while we leave it unguarded, I take none of the responsibility" Father Berman declares. He attempts to lock up the place as best he can - well aware that he is likely locking the watchmen out of the evidence-laden shop - and follows the others.
 

The company passes the guard from earlier. He confirms that Pigglemorth is indeed still in the tower. He promises to guard the shop from entry (or exit) and returns to his post.

The enforcer opens the door for the group. "The clockmaker's still inside, yes."
 

Perrin checks his pistol, ensuring it is loaded, before sliding it back into its holster. "Be ready," he says, stepping into the tower. "With all that has happened, I have a bad feeling."

Ru nods silently, cracking his knuckles as he enters the clocktower.
 

Calahan follows Ru closely, his long knife drawn.

"Boy, AM I HAPPY that I handed you my gun!"

However, a visible change can be seen in the former hunter's ragged face:
Where there was panic before, there are now determination, and even some kind of
excitement for what he might now well consider an adventure...
