Under strange stars

Razeem:

Spoiler

The mephit keeps looking for the old man. He will search about one third of the cell buildings, before thinking about something else. Does it look like the stationary guards are guarding some cell?

 

[Someone]

Oh, yes.

Jagra curses himself for not thinking ahead! How would they come back together once their quarry was found? How would they alert one another! Curses! Oh well, the best he could do now was to continue looking and hope that he bumped into one of his fellows. While he is looking around, he tries to notice any odd or peculiar behavior on the part of the guards: if anyone of the guards looks more stressed than the others (i.e. not playing knucklebones or joking around). He also looks to see if any of the guards are protecting doorways that might lead below the main level of the cells.

looks towards the guard who complained about being stuck in one spot all night and starts moving towards him, planning to check the cell nearest that guard. He checks a few more random cells on his way, but just briefly.

Razeem:

Spoiler

The mephit looks over to the cell, that seems to be closely guarded. His curiosity wins and he starts flying silently closer to it. When and if he gets close enough, he will peer inside...

Razeem:

Spoiler

You flap your wings as silently as you can, letting the winds carry you for the most part. You don´t know how much time the invisibility will last, but it won´t be very much, so you don´t lose much time searching the other cells. Some of them are empty, other contains one or more prisoners, but none as the one you´re looking for. Finally, you land on the cells being closely guarded and look down to the sentinels. They continue playing their dice game on a mat, while the fifth one finishes slowly his breakfast. Descending carefully, only one feet from the standing guard, you peer through the small barred window: there indeed an old man inside. Regular face, small nose, a scar in the forehead: it must be him, though he seem to be a little older than you expected.

Suddendly, someone bumps into you and pushes your body so you in turn bump into the standing guard. “¿What the f…?” He says, looking at the empty space (you). The others stop playing and look at him. You hear wing sounds nearby, sounds like of a very big bird, though you can´t locate where or see anything.

Jagra:

Spoiler

Gliding as silently as you can, you float above the guards, worried about the time remaining until the invisibility and fly spells expire: it can´t be very much. The guards don´t seem to be worried, only bored, and no doorway, trapdoor, or similar are near. Suddendly, the standing guard moves a couple inches to his side, like if something had pushed him; “¿What the f…?” He says, looking at the empty space (the one just in fron of the door he was standing aside). The others stop playing and look at him in turn.

You glide as silently as you can. You don´t know how much time the invisibility and fly will last, but it won´t be very much, so you don´t lose much time searching the other cells. Some of them are empty, other contains one or more prisoners, but none as the one you´re looking for; as far as they know, they won´t be there much time, they should be taken to a magistrate to judge them; prison sentences are non existant –fines, physical punishments and slavery are the norm-. Finally, you land on the cells being closely guarded and look down to the sentinels. They continue playing their dice game on a mat, while the fifth one finishes slowly his breakfast. Flying carefully, only a couple feet from the standing guard, you try to peer through the small barred window, but suddendly you bunp into someone. The standing guard moves a couple inches, like if something had pushed him; “¿What the f…?” He says, looking at the empty space (you). The others stop playing and look at him in turn.

Razeem:

Spoiler

The mephit is surprised and startled by the sudden bump. He nimbly adjusts his position in the air and flies away from the guarded cell as quickly as he is able. He got the information they came to get, but at what price? What kind of invisible guardian was that? His companions used magic to fly, so the sound of wings couldn't be made by them. Hoping, that the invisibility spell would last just a little longer, the mephit tries to fly back to his mistress, who is waiting outside the fortress. If spell is gone, Razeem will hide and try to move outside by using stealth.

Menghil

Spoiler

freezes when he feels something next to him. Cursing silently inside his mind he realizes that he must have hit one of the others. He looks straight into the eyes of the guard for a second before he realizes that he is still invisible. He glides as quietly as possible a few feet back in the direction he came and watches the guards for their reaction. He also keeps an eye on his own hands for signs of the invisibility wearing off.

 

[Someone]

Razeem, Amira, Sin´nairo and Al-Khazad:

Spoiler

You ascend and move out of the guard´s reach without looking back. Fortunately, the invisibility spell last enough to reach the place where Amira, Shin´nairo and Al-Khazad stand before dissapearing, and tell them what happened. (Rangerjohn and Rayex can read Razeem´s posts)

Menghil:

Spoiler

You feel, more than hear, movement nearby you while moving back. “Something touched me!” says the guard, catching his spear. He looks through the door´s window, before stepping back and looking around. “You just were asleep, man” says one of the others. (Your hand continues being invisible)

Jagra:

Spoiler

“Something touched me!” says the guard, catching his spear. He looks through the door´s window, before stepping back and looking around. “You just were asleep, man” says one of the others.

Spoiler

Jagra flys for the door, keeping his eyes on the guards who spoke. He lands, slips on his eyes of the eagle, and then tries to see which one of the guards holds the keys to the door, and where specifically on his person those keys are kept.

OOC: Spot Check +9, also I want to do something else as soon as I get feedback from you, should I have the opportunity...
