R2: Rats in a Maze [Manzanita judging]

[Dungannon]

[sblock=Tor & Babette: ]That's one of the causes of the runaround. They don't have a map of the actual sewer system. The best they could do was a map of all the entrances. I plan on having the actual map posted for you later today.[/sblock]

 

[Patlin]

[sblock=Tor & Babette: ]As they begin to head back to the Inn, both Tor and Babette notice one of the goons who was with Otto the night before loitering in an alley entrance watching them. He's trying to be nonchalant about it but not doing too good a job.[/sblock]

[sblock=At the council...]Tor will walk over to the goon.

"Hi there!" He says.

If the guy fails to react warilly, he'll go so far as to clap a hand on the man's shoulder in a companionable way... though if the punk tries to pick his pocket, Tor will break his arm.

In a quieter voice, he offers him some advice.

"You didn't bring enough of your friends to start anything with me kid. Why don't you go find a hobby that's better for your life expectancy?"[/sblock]

 

[Heckler]

[sblock=At the council...]Babette will keep a look out in case this guy did bring some friends with him.[/sblock]

 

[Patlin]

[sblock=At the council...]I fully expect he did bring some of his friends.

Let's see if they want to come out and play.[/sblock]

 

[Dungannon]

[sblock=Tor & Babette: ]The goon tries to shake Tor's hand off and look tough, but he's not fooling anyone. "I'm not interested in you. I'm looking for your friend Dak. I've got a message for him. Where can I find him?"

ooc: You can view the map of the sewer entrances here.[/sblock]

 

[Heckler]

[sblock=At the council...] "Don't know where he is now, buut we'll probably bump into him sometime later. If you want to give us the message, we'll pass it on when we see him."

ooc1: I expect he's got some friends nearby as well. And not being a big, bad, spiked-chain wielding combat machine, I'd like to see them before they sneak up on me.

ooc2: Looking at the map, #6 is the Blackwing HQ isn't it? I'm liking that one, though we may have trouble sneaking in undetected. Maybe go in a different entrance and work our way down?[/sblock]

[sblock=On the road]Metrius nods at Gideon`s comments. "With any luck the merchant shouldn`t be too hard to find. If he`s trades legitimately you`d think he wants to be found by customers after all. I just hope he`s not one of Dak`s underground friends."[/sblock]

Fimble McGee, Gnome Illusionist

[sblock=In the market...]Fimble walks up to one of the stalls and asks the vendor, "Good day, fine sir. I was wondering if you could direct me to Drezel's antique store?"[/sblock]

 

[Dungannon]

[sblock=Tor & Babette: ]

"Don't know where he is now, buut we'll probably bump into him sometime later. If you want to give us the message, we'll pass it on when we see him."

The goon manages a weak smile. "No thanks, it needs to be delivered personally." He then tries to sneak away without running like a scalded dog. He mostly succeeds.

ooc2: Looking at the map, #6 is the Blackwing HQ isn't it? I'm liking that one, though we may have trouble sneaking in undetected. Maybe go in a different entrance and work our way down?

Yes, #6 is Blackwing HQ.[/sblock]

[sblock=Fimble, Gideon & Metrius: ]

Fimble walks up to one of the stalls and asks the vendor, "Good day, fine sir. I was wondering if you could direct me to Drezel's antique store?"

The proprietor of the stall is a tall, thin dark man with an air of bored superiority about him. That might explain why his is one of the less frequented establishments. That or the fact that he's selling strange looking, and smelling, items in jars and pouches, items he claims to be rare and exotic spell components. "Drezel? Antiques? Oh, ah, yes. little gnomish fellow, like yourself. His shop isn't in the market, though. Head west out of the market, then take an immediate left. Go down and take the first right past the Council House. His shop is the second on the left. Little two-story job."[/sblock]
