Smashed World, Part II

Durban

"I'm up here," Durban enunciates, hoping his voice carries down to his companions in the room below. "I have a masked lad who might be involved..."

To the young man, "I am Durban, assigned to guard the mayor's daughter, who are you. Speak quickly."

"Ah, in that case..." Lorcan ducks back in the window, turning back to the guards.

"Is there any way out onto the roof above? One of my companions may have apprehended the culprit of Lady Chendra's disappearance."
 

Durban
The young lad opens his mouth, closes it, and opens it again, but no words come out. After a moment, though, he speaks.
"I... I was going to steal the silverware and... I saw somebody on the roof... I though somebody might've come here before me..."
The youngster seems very nervous.

The rest
Horros and Lorcan hit their heads together as they both go for the small window. In the end, it's Lorcan who puts his head out of the window. He only sees the edge of the roof, however.

When Lorcan pulls back in and catches one of the guards who are just pouring in to the bathroom, he gets a quick reply.
"Only if you can climb the walls, or get somewhere a long enough ladder."

Some of the guards eye Haplo warily.
 


Durban

"Don't struggle or I'll drop you."

Durban continues hoisting the young lad and (using the Spiderclimb), clamber down to the window where his friends are.
 


Lorcan looks over the youth Durban brings through the window, checking him for any concealed weapons.

"So laddy, do you want to tell us what in the name of the Gods you thought you were doing out on the mayor's roof? And where is Lady Chendra? Answer quickly, and perhaps we can stop things from going too badly for you."
