Q'Barra: Facing Truth

[Pebele]

As Charles circles the building, staying close to it to hide in its shadows, he notices a lone figure that appears to be watching Kassel's house. The other people he sees are all moving about, going from one place to the other. However this figure is staying still, and appears to be looking right at the building he exited.

It is too far away for him to get a good look, but it appears that John may not be simply paranoid, after all.

[sblock](ooc: So, we have two figures in the direction that Kaelan went, and one figure in the direction Charles went. I wanted to make sure everyone was on the same page, so I didn't edit the first post, I made this one instead. Please pardon the blatant rip-off. )[/sblock]

(Does it appear that the figure has spotted Charles?)

 

[Pebele]

(No, it does not appear that either Charles nor Kaelan have been spotted)

Charles will try to meet up with Kaelen to ask his opinion on what to do next. Personally, he wants to move away from the house to give the impression he wasn't there and approach the figure to have an innocent conversation so he can see what's up.

Kassel seems to have been calmed down, he shakes his head sadly. "They said they'd kill our crops, kill our animals. They said we'd starve and whither away."

"No," Darrick says firmly, "This will not happen. Not so long as I have breath in my body, and strength in my arm. You are not alone in this matter, Master Kassel. Not any longer."

"But," he continues, in a gentler tone, "We need to know the truth, John. We cannot do this blind. Not for our sake, not for yours."

Kaelan

[sblock]I'm going to assume I didn't see Charles because my spot/listen did not beat his hide/ms. If he stops me, before I can do what I say below, we will do what he suggests in his plan above. Also, do these figures appear to be hiding or just standing in plain sight, looking at the house?[/sblock]

Kaelan circles the house, coming around in front and reentering. "There are two people outside watching us. Too distant to make out details, what are our orders?"

 

[Rookseye]

Sepoto frowns slightly, and answers Catherine quietly.

"No, not in here, but close..."

Before the shifter can say anymore, he observes Kaelan outside the window and quickly interprets the subtle meaning of his pantomime. He nods once to the Valenar and whispers to the others what he has seen.

"There are others outside the house-hut, watching us. Kaelan warns to be wary."

Sepoto draws his kukri and moves as close as possible to the entry door, attempting to find a nook to hide within on either side of the portal. His intent is to pouce upon any unwelcome guests that may enter John Kassel's home.

"Excellent," Trebuchet enthuses. "Mysterious creeping figures to be dispatched with all haste!"

 

[Yeoman]

Catherine notices Kaelan's signal, and notes Sepoto taking position near the door. "Looks like trouble. If you've got information John, now's the time to tell us." Catherine looks over at Darrick, "Lieutenant, we should get ready, in case this gets ugly."

 

[Pebele]

John looks to the window and jumps to his feet. "No! No violence in the town! For the love of the Host, don't hurt anyone!

Stop them! No one in the town will hurt you. It's not us you need to worry about. Some of them are misled, they think we have no choice but to work with them. They think I'm a stubborn old man, and I am, but they won't hurt you."
