Project Black Dagger - MISSION: SIREN'S CALL

[Viking Bastard]

The lock is easy to pick and it does not take you very long to open
it. The door opens and the fresh and cool night air hits your face.

The trio you were tailing is nowwhere to be seen. You do notice
one thing, though. On the entrance to the sanitation facility you
just broke out of, is a large green shield with a engraved picture
of a dragon and a golden capital 'D'. It stirs your memory, it's the
same as the crest Fergus Bonecrusher showed you earlier in the
Library, based on the deaf bum's description. It's the crest of the
Defalietti family.

Well . . . if that ain't just a crock of . . . Keldor thought. Where in the? Keldor first looked to the shield, thinking at once that it had been deliberately placed there, and was therefore suspicious. A quick inspection of the area around the shield and the shield itself was warranted, and performed.

Then, leaving the shield where it lay, Keldor looked for the tracks of the heavy cart. If he was unsuccessful in finding any, Keldor will invoke a quick prayer for Detect Magic, glancing at the shield (and taking it with him if it was magical) and looking down the various areas, hoping for a trail to foolow the criminals with.

 

[Viking Bastard]

Ah... it doesn't lay anywhere, I meant it's attached onto the main doors, as in screwed on. When I said 'Shield', I meant in the form of Heraldry/Crest.

 

[Keia]

ooc: Sorry, my mistake, I can edit the post or you can ignore the shield references (though I will check the door for magic as well).

"I think I have to. I'll just drop this off at the HQ and go check if there's anything there.", Jack says while pointing the music box he's carrying.

 

[Festy_Dog]

Fealnne nods in response to Jack.

"Try to have a little fun then," he says.

Use the library tunnel entrance, the usual entries are guarded
because of the ball."

"Alright then," Fealnne says, then nods in the direction of the crime scene, "What happened over yonder?"

While Fealnne listens to the spook's response he ushers the gnome out of the carriage.

 

[Xael]

Jack chuckles to Fealnne's comment, and goes to drop the Box to whoever might take care for such of things, giving him an short explanation what he knows about it (stuns people or something).

He then goes to see what the Commander wants (I assume he wanted to meet us both).

"I'm sorry. They shot Mac."

.

Up in the Clocktower, Incognito waits for you. Two 'grunts' come
and take the Music Box to the lab and Dr. Magnus to a interrogation
room.

Incognito sits patiently as you tell him of your exploits. When
finished, he tells you of the Automobot Organ he and Mac fished
out of the river.

"...with the Crest of the Dracani Dynasty bolted to the sides. After
some investigation and pulling of strings, we discovered that the
Dynasty plans to hand over a gift to the Guild as a sign of peace
at the ball tonight, which arrived in the city by Aircruiser earlier
this evening. We assume that the Organ was the gift, although
we can't piece together what purpose throwing it in the river is
supposed to hold."

Keldor

Sadly, since the streets are paved with stone in this part of the
city, you see no tracks. The quick prayer does nothing, while it
does detect a lot of magic (in anything Thunderstone powered
nearby), but the door is pretty much magic free. You do notice
one thing though, something very magical stood here not
long before. Your first instinct is that it was whatever that was in
the cart, but your senses correct you in that it was the large
ghoul-ish individual that dragged it.

We'll just ignore the shield thing, Although you can edit it if you want.

 

[Keia]

Keldor searches around, looking for clues as to where they could have gone from this location. Keldor will concentrate on the detect magic while moving down the various streets.

If he doesn't find anything, he'll head back with all haste to the dagger HQ to report what he saw and what happened.
