Being paranoid by nature, Henry is watching to see if anyone is following them. He's not one for people skills, but he wants to be useful.
Clyde tells his group.Ok, lets go see the parents and see if the kids came home. Clyde will follow the directions given.
Okay.
Henry will nod.
Henry spots one of the kids following you; though they quickly decide that you lot aren't interesting to follow enough for any great length of time.
Splitting up, you quickly visit a few parents' addresses. They confirm that their children have gone missing, and they are on the verge of hysterics because of it- they definitely don't believe their children sold off the competition and are away living high off the proceeds.
Clyde speaks to his allies. Hmprh..I am rather stumped here, just what can we do next to try and find these kids?
Ask where the kids liked to hang out, where they were before they disappeared.
Asking the parents, Telsyn is able to get a few street corners where they preferred to spend their time. A single corner is common to all of them, however; a small street between a fancy manor and a series of apartments.
Henry will head for the apartment building and follow his plan to see if any of the rooms are unoccupied. If that doesn't work, he will head for the roof and see if he can get a vantage there.
Clyde helps out as well, checking around the manor
While it takes some effort, Henry manages to sneak his way past the doorman. While all the apartments are locked, he manages to find a broom closet with a small window overlooking the manor.
Searching stealthily around the manor, Clyde finds it unoccupied. He spots a few strange burn marks in the corner in the opening courtyard.
Found a few burn-marks in the manor's courtyard but have no idea what it is about. I can help camouflage people when we do the stakeout.
Clyde does some aid another for those who want to hide
Finding his vantage point, you wait.
After two hours, dark events begin. A window opens in the block of apartments opposite. Henry hears muttered works.
Atop the burn marks, with a crack of flame, otherworldly creatures appear.
First, a small imp, winged and red-skinned.
Second, a fire elemental, large as a man.
Third, a strange little creature, an orb-like body with a mouth full of gnashing teeth.
Finally, a seething devil deftly wielding a vicious, saw-toothed glaive, while below its toothy maw writhes a hideous twitching beard.
Positioning themselves behind the compound wall, the imp starts poking a head around the corner, watching.
Oh crap! Those are definitely not from around here.
and he keeps watching trying to decide if he will survive intervening if they go after some of the children.
Holy %#^#%@^#%! This is way above our pay grade! Clyde pokes Henry and Telsyn and points at the open window where the muttering came from, and makes a slahing motion across his throat.
Telsyn stares in disbelief. What now?
Clyde twitches and mutters to the others.We should check out whoever is at the window.
"The little winged thing is trying to entice the children. If it starts to pull away a child, I'm going to shoot it. I can't let those fiends have at the kids" he answers in a whisper.
and he spends the move action to study the imp.
Yea, we gotta get those kids away. They are more important right now but no doubt Mr.Window is going to bolt. Clyde gets his bow ready.
If a kid starts to get drawn off my the imp, I shoot. I'm not risking the kids on anything fancy.
hand't rolled stealth before.
Telsyn casts Mage Armor on himself and gets ready to kill.
What are they doing?
I can't really tell.
I'm up in a room across the street. Doesn't seem to be a street to use on the map)(understand the difficulty finding good gridded maps), so I put myself at a distance.
Caught mid-plot, the creatures turn, surprised, as enemies take the field.
Clyde takes a shot at the imp/whatever
I'm not sure I understand the map properly. Just put me where you understand the room to be.
Henry will shoot at the Imp
studied target
add +1/+1 if I'm wthin 30'.
Telsyn fires 2 bolts of force at the imp.
