Andy waits at a corner table, nodding as each of the group to return join him. (Or...joining the others at a table and nodding politely as he joins them.)
"So...we grab a meal, work out shifts and thence some folk catch some rest while the others head back out to continue watch on the museum?" He asks quietly.
"What of the black market contact?" Azrin reminds the captain.
"I think we should get to that as soon as Adalric gets back, if at a reasonable hour."
Adalric fails at his first attempt at trying the lock.
Frowning, Adalric switches lockpicks and tries again.
The second time, the lock falls off and drops down. Adalric unwraps the chain carefully.
He doesn't see anything in the dark basement.
The rest of you notice that Adalric has been gone for quite a while. He should've been back by now.
Adalric carefully enters the cellar and looks around.
Dimitious follows Adalric's lead into the basement. The halfling enters into the shadows along with the rogue.
As time begins to drag on Andy frowns as it becomes more and more obvious that ssomething seems to be keeping Aldaric...
"He is likely robbing the museum as we speak. Perhaps we should look for him in prison." Azrin proposes.
Ransaq chuckles.
Mary taps his foot, smoking his pipe.
"I'm sure they can keep themselves out of trouble for one afternoon...
Andy pensively looks towards the door..as well as keeping an eye on the servant's entrance, just in case Adalric enters through there.
After a while (DM, feel free to insert the amount you wish) Andy stands,
"Well...something interesting seems to have happened..." He says cryptically to all before gathering his things, finishing his current drink and heading off in search of Adalric's fate.
I will stay behind Adalric and keep a sharp eye out.
Also will cast the penumbra cantrip.
Since this is a long dead gamethread, I'll be using it as a safe spot to have a secret conversation. Thank you all for your cooperation.
Ransaq turns a corner and pulls Garroth and Melaphi close, close enough to have a whispered conversation.
"I don't trust those guys, not even a little. I don't know what kind of scheme their up to, but I know it would be to our great disadvantage if they somehow took that keep. Plus, I think it's likely their up to no-good. I'd like to follow them, see what they're up to. If this sounds reasonable to you, I'd need your help. I have a plan."
"I'm all ears."
"Alright, what I need is for you to stall them while I run and grab something. I think the best way would be to start another argument, darwl it out as long as possible, then Garroth to challenge one of them to a non lethal dual to buy more time. They're eager to fight as is, but the orc and the woman seem particularly trigger happy. When I get back, I'll need you guys to hide out close enough to hear my signal, in case things go sour. Right here would be a good place to wait for me, out of sight but close by. Sound like a plan?"
