Paridon: The Dark Metropolis (Ravenloft)

"Remember, he may not yet know that we are on to him. Don't squander that advantage. Callahan, put that back" Father Berman tells the others before they go in.

Nontheless, he makes sure his own dragon pistol is ready to draw, then enters the tower.

 

[InVinoVeritas]

The Rose Company enters the tower.

The tower above beckons.
​

Far above the investigators, the tower reverberates with the rhythmic sounds of the mechanism, like a steady chant to the passage of time. The sounds echo down, back up, and surround everyone. From the heights, out of sight of the police, a voice echoes its way down to them.

"You shouldn't be in here... It's very dangerous if you don't know how everything moves."

"You shouldn't be in here... It's very dangerous if you don't know how everything moves."

"Perhaps you'd do us the favor of coming down here, then?" Ru calls back up pleasantly. "I'm afraid we've got a few holes in our paperwork that need filling, and I'd hate to try conducting an interview like this."

"Perhaps you'd do us the favor of coming down here, then?" Ru calls back up pleasantly. "I'm afraid we've got a few holes in our paperwork that need filling, and I'd hate to try conducting an interview like this."

Calahan silently points to the gun in Ru's backpack. "May I...? - I promise not to use it without your consent, dammit!"

And in response to the voice. "Sir, please get down here so we can have a civilised chat. Almost all questions have been cleared to us already thanks to your coopoeration. Just a few short points more, and we can stop bothering you altogether."

Because your head will be spiked on a stick by then, motherf...

Calahan silently points to the gun in Ru's backpack. "May I...? - I promise not to use it without your consent, dammit!"

Ru, without taking his eyes from their search of the upper levels, nods to Calahan and indicates his backpack, allowing the man to reclaim his weapon.

[sblock=OOC] Ooops. Forgot Ru had it. [/sblock]

 

[Rhun]

Perrin waits silently.

 

[kinem]

Father Berman waits for a reaction as well.

 

[InVinoVeritas]

Seconds pass, each one proclaimed in perfect harmony.

Pigglemorth's voice calls down from above, filling the chamber, even above the mechanism.

"I'm afraid I can't. The tower needs many repairs, and I have spent too much time away from my appointed task..."

The voice grows, becoming edged, like a blade unsheathing.

"Quite a lot of damage can result from a single day of neglect."

TOCK

Ru swears under his breath.

"Fine, then, we do it the hard way," he mutters to the others. Assuming no one objects, he begins sneaking his way up the clocktower to where he hopes he's hearing the voice come from.

 

[Rhun]

Perrin too follows quietly after Ru, using the sounds of the clocktower to hide his footsteps, and using the gears and such as best he can to remain hidden.
