The Sea's Righteous Might

"As far as the plan goes, I don't have a preference. That kind of stuff was never my forte," Bran says.
"Well, it is my opinion that staking out the house would probably be the better course of action right now. If we can get answers to our questions, we may not need to trouble anyone on the Righteous Might. If they did actually sabotage her, we'll know precisely where to work. Ven, I know I was a bit caustic there, and I'm sorry. We really do need you along for this adventure. I was just being a jackass. Will you come and help us?" Jaleph is being quite sincere in his apology and his plea for help.

Marisa Calathar, Cleric of Wee Jas

OOC: The way I see it, Marisa, being an attractive woman [Cha 14] in a world of male adventurers, tends to be the center of attention. So, now that she meets this guy that's attractive [Cha 14] and seems to be a well known adventurer, she's a little jealous that he's so enthralled with a "common" waitress. Actually, I'm also really enjoying playing her little snits towards Bran :)

Marisa gives Bran a glare as he returns, but her face starts to warm and she seems a bit apologetic when he sounds hurt. Damn him... I can't seem to stay mad at him.

Marisa uncomfortably watches the exchange between Ven and Jal, unsure as to what to say. She tries to step in... "See, Van? No harm done! Now, let's say we all check out Hugo's home to see what we can find out." Marisa is anxious to move along before it gets too dark.

ooc as well: great, Marisa's mad at Bran, Ven's mad at me, and Kragor's just plain mad... what a party we make :lol:
 

<<<as long as we all promise not to kill each other... I mean except me. I'm not going to promise not to kill you... well... you know what I mean>>>

Bran, you know where Hugo's is as well. You might have even been in his "reception area" a few times, where he does business with those not part of his inner circle. You know the front door is not the only exit, of course, and you've heard rumors Hugo has dug out entrances to the sewers in the basement of his building.

There are several places along the docks where large city sewer pipes empty out into the bay. Most of this is cast-off water from city plumbing and rain water, not actual sewage. There are also entrances to the large, tunnel-like pipes scattered throughout most of the city.

Night has come to Swift Rock Bay. The streets of the Wharf District have cleared of its daytime citizens, and shadows and alleyways are soon claimed by those ruled by vice and corruption. Prostitutes and pushers are the most common "business" people on the streets, but they employ (or are employed by) their own muscle to watch over their interests, and then there are the customers, some who take great effort not to be recognized, prowling from shadow to shadow in search of their next fix.

"Aye, I'm up for that. This Hugo sounds like the kind of guy who'd be much improved by a swift headbutt. Of course, if he's a bit out of our league at the moment, I'll settle for just headbutting a couple of his mooks and sailing out of trouble in the morn."

Kragar (OOC: who is, indeed, insane) grins evilly at the rest of the party.

Marisa raises an eyebrow at Kragor's comment. At least we know he likes the simple things in life she jokes to herself. I have to remind myself never to get him mad at me.

"So, Bran, everyone... we off? You would know it best, Bran. Should we all scope out the front door, or split up to cover the most area..."
 

Bran Olvant, Treasure Hunter Extraordinaire

"Well, let's see. I've heard that there is an entrance to his basement from the sewers. Not that they are actually sewers, I'd never be caught in those. Get my clothes all nasty, no way." He brushes his bangs from over his right eye, only for them to resettle there.

"We can either go to the docks and enter through the exit pipes, or we can find a manhole and get into the pipes somewhere in the city. I prefer the latter, as I think I can find one not too far from here."
 

Jaleph Bigthumbs Halfling Sorceror

"Well, here's how I see it. I know that splitting up can be a bad idea, but I think we need to. Bran, and perhaps someone else who is somewhat stealthy should try to sneak into the base through the pipes, while the rest of us wait outside the main entrance. That way, we cover the bases. If Bran and his accomplice find out what we need by spying, that would be great. But if they don't, those of us who stay on stakeout can still try to get the information from that thug. Who would like to volunteer to go with Bran to infiltrate the hideout?"
 

Marisa Calathar, Cleric of Wee Jas

"If that is the plan, then I wouldn't mind being with either group. Though as the healer of this little group, If this goes wrong I'm sure I will be needed with either team."
 

"Tactically unsound." Ven says. "We should try to split the enemy, not split ourselves."

"To formulate a plan, we first need an objective." Ven yawns and stares at his empty mug.
