"hmm it seems to be pointing to where we are headed, perhapse to another gem like this one"
No magic and one PowerPoint has been used, it's not been wasted it's powering the device
Some odd runes have lit up on its side, but you can understand what htheybmeen
So we need to get more piece of a puzzle? is that it?
Hall seems to ponder that "I think it would be best to tackle everything one step at a time...go at things as a group"
Hall chuckles"I take offense to your terminology, albeit not much as its true, fine," he hands over the wayfinder "take care of yourselves, scarlet the lady and myself shall go in and you guys, try to find whatever this is intended to locate"
"Heh Alright bucky, have fun with the ladies."
Zaeltor seems to be distracted from most of the debate, but he does pipe in - "Regardless of the situation calling for it, I am against splitting up the group. We have been facing hard challenges - we have been doing well so far" - looking around at the others, he continues - "The proof is that we are all here. But our last confrontation was very close. Had we been separated, and half of us would lie dead for sure. That is our strength, and has been in every situation - if there is scouting to be done, very well, but when we walk in, we should go as a group"
This was the first time the usually silent monk had articulated so many words.
The cab joins the que for parking, as you pull up a coachman, comes and says,
"Evening, lady's and gent dm could the ones with tickets please disembark at the main door and head in to outer hall, note the press is here, there is food and drinks, all staff and others please go around with you cab to parking and wait there please untill after the talk. There is a hot drinks and food for you in a small side room as well as a WC."
With that he jumps off the cab and heads to the ones one pulling in. Soon your at the main doors, red carpet leading up with press and on lookers on each side. The three with tickets get out. Wile the others have to head round the side.
Talk group
Your heading to the press
1: The lady
2: scarlet
3:
Cab group
Your going round the side.
List your selves
Who in which group
And what are you doing
Note you see security at the hall.
Olrik, dressed in a suit (Butler style) goes around back to "wait"
I wil go with the lady and scarlet, after all she and i are somwhat used to covering our backs says jake leaning on his staff as he use it as a walking stick..
As the group seems oblivious to his reasoning, Zaeltor shrugs and follows Olrik.
Turning to the dwarf he comments - "Master Adamant, is it just me, or our companions are becoming overconfident? Even towards situations they know nothing about?" - the monk sounds respectful towards Olrik.
As the group seems oblivious to his reasoning, Zaeltor shrugs and follows Olrik.
** spoiler omitted **
Pheny will take the cab around careful to find a space with good ventilation.
I wil go with the lady and scarlet, after all she and i are somwhat used to covering our backs says jake leaning on his staff as he use it as a walking stick..
Hall bars exit from the vehicle "now hold up... The plan was for me to go with scarlet and the lady...mind telling me why the sudden plan change?"
The lady gets ready, she opens the brief case takes out three tickets, handing one to Scarlet and the other to jack.
"I think Jake will come with me, I feel he understands what is called for better,"
She holds the bref case open,
"My farther"s device if you please Mr Stawart"
Her voice is now that of a noble, she is not asking she is telling.
"now hold on, we were hired to protect you yes, but we can't do that without a degree of autonomy, we know how to protect you or we wouldn't have been hired, you don't know how to protect yourself or again we wouldn't have been hired critically important to that job is to have a plan, you don't go changeing the plan five minuets before the plan is to be enacted, I am our fastest runer" "as well as the phisically strongest, I also am able to read people and have good vision, it makes sense that I and our healer be your personal guard that is why we had it planned out this way, if you had a problem with this you should have said something hours ago"
Pheny tries to hold down a snort of laughter hearing the exchange between the Lady and bucky. Not very well either.
she looks at Hall.
The from outside a call "If your going to disembark could you do so now ladies and gents we have others waiting.
Her look hardens, in a cold level voice full of Class and Nobility she says.
"Mr Stewart, as your employer, I need not explain my decisions to you, Now if you please, hand over my fathers priority and get out of Scarlet, mine and jakes way, or find yourself unemployed and facing those left in my employment who will take back from you that which belongs to my family. Do I make myself perfectly clear."
The bag is still open for you to hand over the wayfinder.
The to other tickets have been handed out, Jack now has one and scarlet,
Hall as of her doing this you now don't have a ticket to enter the talk with.
"fine, fine, but when this goes all to hell, and it will, remember I told you so he says as he shoves the device into the bag.
Pheny grins as Hall has his tantrum "Now, Now bucky, if it all goes to hell when you told them other wise you don't say 'I told you so' You say 'My cleanup fees are quite reasonable' it's more profitable that way."
"Well with that out of the way, Jack, Scarlet shall we"
She waits for Jack to show Scarlet out the carriage, and then follows with out his aid. She was meant to be her after all. They had vales on you would need to get very close to tell.
@Cab group
once the three going in are out the cab, you move on round to the side, more back in fact as you go around to a parking lot. There are about 50 cabs, in rows lined with trees and pathways. As you look to the hall you can see light coming from a small open door to the left of two very large closed doors. You can't miss what is outside them, very close to the hall is a low flat bed on small wheels, something large. About 20' across is on it covered in a tarpaulin. A number of in white coats are fussing over it and there is about 6 security types [Not TalkHall security, they seem privet] who have roped it off and seem to be doing well keeping the few press away.
The let smaller doorway leads into the talkhall and you can see cab drivers and footmen heading in wile some are smoking, talking and drinking just outside.
A lad comes up with a ticket for food and drinks each.
@talk Group.
You head in by the press, you just about to enter unnoted when one reporter says, looking at scarlet
"HAy thats the niece, whats her name, HAY! HAY! LADY GARNET, HAS YOUR UNCLE TOLD YOU ANYTHING ABOUT HIS DISCOVERY?"
Your at the door you can ignore her and go in or say something scarlet.
"I want them to remember I predicted this, and then I will offer the cleanup rates as you suggested if you hit them on both ends you seem more vital, bit more aggressive of a business approach you might say, well then what's the plan, for us, since we can't go looking for the puzzle piece and our lineup has been changed,"
Pheny Shrugs, "We go talk to the other servants and chaffeurs in the back they often know more than you might think."

"seems like as good a place to start as any hall shrugs

Gigar checks his disguise one last time
and get ready to leave. He feels fairly competent in his getup, though he has never truly worn one before. He casually awaits his friends just outside. He will add, We sneak in, talk to some of the help, then try to find the device. Everyone stay close, but separate. Try to blend in.
hall makes himself look respectable but clearly identifiable as "help" probably a bouncer or the head of security or a manager of some sort it is a decent disguise though not one as well thought out as the one he had originally planned
"I do not possess the skills for this" - Zaeltor comments matter of fact, but still proceeds with the necessary steps to check his disguise.
"Let us move inside"
The talk group
walk in as Scarlet ignore the reported,
Best this way no chance of blowing your cover
3 x Persecution

Nobility or

Cab group,
When you ready.
you walk over to the door where the other servants and chauffeurs are meeting, there is one hall security guy there who takes you food and drink chit the boy gave you and stamps your and with an ink stamp.
Make any rolls for actions for see stuff and learn stuff.
The Lady (Scarlet) 'swans' into the grand meeting room. Nodding with a smile to those who pleasantly meet her cool gaze and simply nodding to those who acknowledge her prescence. Always in the corner of her vision is the 'attending' woman who is shadowing her motions, the better to pick up subtle clues as upon how to act.
Cab group,
I guy walks over to Buster
"Buster!, ya old (#&# port rat you, so this is where you went"
Looking at your Cab
"nice got your own Cab now, good for you Buster, working the warehouses is a *^&# job, your best out of it, with all the gang fighting going on."
he looks at the rest of you.
"your pals look a bit hard core, they look like them heavys outside baby sitting that rig"
he leans in close,
"You always knows what going on, you got any idea whats under it, got a reporter pay me 200 true if I can find out"
he leans back and smiles a toothless grin at you all
Buster Hes names Kimpy you know him an he is who he says he is

Scarlet, Jack make three perception rolls please
Jack using his staff as a walking stick to help his limp is dress in a nice courtiers outfit. He attends the party as a somewhat distinguished gentlemen (while keeping and eye out for scarlet and the lady)
PM jack
talk group as you stand there,
Staff come around with food and drink.
Zaeltor's attentive mind lends him to study the back entrance, checking the amount of guards, their disposition, overall posture and armament.

Gigar walks up and down the cabs, keeping an ear out for anything suspicious, and an eye towards the building perhaps to see an open window. His garments resemble that of a typical servant. Weaving through the crowds he attempts to get as close to the box without being seen.
Pheny Shrugs, "We go talk to the other servants and chaffeurs in the back they often know more than you might think."
"Oy buster.... I know tha yer cab ain't quiet... can yer make it....do a loud noise? Get tha guards attention... iffin ya do ill see bout getting inside " olrik whispers
Wow two of you with 26
Ok PM heading your way you chaps
Zaeltor nods to Gigar - "I have seen it too. That grill cover shouldn't be too hard to remove, and it should allow us access inside from that darkened, side alley"
"We should give it a try"
