[Planescape] Squaring the Circle Redux - IC

[Ashy]

You watch it very, very closely but the bloody smear on the ground shows no signs of knitting itself back together ever again. The jellied organs don't even so much as twitch.

Burrow, satisified that the creature will not return to haunt him (at least in this form), wildshifts into a hawk and flies away toward the city gate - his original destination. Along the way, he keeps a sharp eye out for Claw...

 

[Sephiroth no Miko]

Sidling up near to the humans and acting all non-descript (Or as much as she can.), Flaust makes an effort to look like she is watching the dancing girl with the men whilst usuing her body to block the movements of her hands as they try to fleece the marks' purses or other easily retrievable belongings.

Slight of Hand +14

[Flaust rolled Sleight of Hand 16+14=30] You deftly nick their belt pouches and tuck them into the folds of your cloak. Too engrossed in their appreciation of the dancing girl, they barely even notice you're there.

Vlad raises an eyebrow. "Information? I'm not agreeing to anything, but before I even consider it, I'd like to know what you want to know. It seems like a fair trade, but I'd like to know its exact terms."

Badurth nods in acknowledgement. "Of course... Tell me why you're looking for Daubei's Obscure Woe, what you hope to find there, and how you even came across that name in the first place. Answer those three questions and I shall reduce my price to 1,000 gold. Is that specific enough for you?"

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

"If we may have a moment to discuss this in private?" Blade says. Assuming it's granted, she suggests they step into the hallway to talk. "Do you think it's safe to tell him?"

You find the polluted air currents much easier to navigate than the mud and debris-choked streets, and soon the gate is in sight. It appears to be flanked by a squad of bugbears and a floating orb around its leering mouth. You circle around and spot Claw padding cautiously along one of the streets, sticking close to the sides. He is a little worse for the wear, sporting a ripped ear and a minor gash along his flank from a scuffle from another of Torch's more pugnacious denizens. He seems to have come out the better though, if the blood on his muzzle is any indication.

 

[Old Fezziwig]

In response to Blade's question, Vlad shrugs. "At the risk of being cynical, I daresay he could find out what he wants to know whether or not we tell him."

 

[deadestdai]

Sidling away from the group of men in a nondescript fashion, Flaust finds herself an empty table away from others, preferrably away from bouncers or such and sits and watches the crowd for more marks.

 

[Thanee]

Zoe Windwalker

Stepping outside to the others, Zoe nods to Vlads assessment. “Yes, I don't think it's a problem. He already knows the important part, that we are looking for something there. The rest doesn't make much of a difference. Tell him that we found a hint to this location in the possession of some baatezu, that we are trying to find a cure for a disease caused by them or their allies and that we hope to find answers there.”

After that, Zoe quickly reenters the room to keep an eye on the drow.

Burrow alights upon the ground near his friend and returns to his normal form. A look of worry, mixed with relief crosses his features as he embraces his dear friend. "Faith an' begora, lad! Looks as tho' you had a bit o' a rough go of it as well!" The druid then casts cure light wounds on the dire badger (unless he feels that a lesser or greater spell is needed).

*Blade nods.*

"Very well. I believe that is two hundred and fifty from each of us that are actually here," Blade points out, and then goes into the room again.

"We shall tell you what you wish to know. We are looking for Daubei's Obscure Woe because we are searching for the cure to a disease we believe can be found there. We found mention of it in the possessions of some baatezu we defeated, and have reason to believe the disease was caused by the baatezu. The answers to our questions is what we seek from Daubei's Obscure Woe," Blade says simply, and reaches into her bag to pull out her portion of the fee.

Donner mutters something about the wretched air as he claps down his share.
