From the corner of the room, the monk offers a short bow - "I am Zaeltor"
|
Oh dear, quite right My Lady, quips Gigar. With a very low bow, he removes his hat and continues. Gigar Shortblade at your service. With that he raises back up and dons his hat. We have a brief case here from Mr. Scrub to be delivered to you. Looking at the two similar brief cases held by the party he points from one to the other as if unsure which is which. Shrugging he yet continues, If I may, I'm not terribly diplomatic, but I do love fancy parties. Plenty of pockets to pick... I mean, hands to shake. He gives a wide grin and takes a sip of his tea, obviously failing to show he has any experience in high society.
I am the son of Durrik, of clan Adamant, Olrik is my givin name.... I am an expert marksman and skilled as any in crafting my weaponry." Olrik states
"I cannot make an argument for or against any foul play regarding your uncle, but there is definitely something wrong in this whole matter, or you and your father would not be turned away from the event in such a headstrong matter - and now this apparent assassination attempt"
The tiefling lowers his head for a moment, as if pondering - "I believe the course of action is definitely going to that lecture" - he states matter of fact.
Once you are done she giving her your names she says
"And I am Miss Lilly Orina Inna Garnet, and this is the Garnet house, you have meet Hastings, he alas is the last of my servants, such poverty I have come to, My father you see spend all we had and more on funding the expedition. I will be honest if I was not at my wits end would not have ever thought of associate myself with the likes of your self's no offence meant, but... well needs must and I have to say you are not what one expected, you seem like fine fellows to me and I thank you again for saving my life. Now I have no idea what to do next, this is not the kind of think that happens to one, but I know this, Tomorrow I will be going to the lecture and I be confronting my Uncle to get an explanation".
She seems very determined.
"I cannot make an argument for or against any foul play regarding your uncle, but there is definitely something wrong in this whole matter, or you and your father would not be turned away from the event in such a headstrong matter - and now this apparent assassination attempt"
The tiefling lowers his head for a moment, as if pondering - "I believe the course of action is definitely going to that lecture" - he states matter of fact.
"assassination attempt! good lords! do you realy think so?, but you are right I am still going, I need to get to the bottom of this."
Olrik: Hastings brings you an ale and one for himself, he sips it wile shes not looking.
Scarlet she seems to be happy next to you, you feel she trust you most as a woman.
"And I will be accompanying you"

Lady Garnet, we have at this point, reached a very important stage. The first thing we ned to determine is who this Unseen Eye is. Second, determine why he wants you kept from the lecture. Undoubtedly it has something to do with your uncle, but what we cannot say. Perhaps your father kept notes or a journal on the subject of the expedition? At any rate, I suggest we start with the briefcase, and whatever is inside it. Mr Scrub said you knew the combination?
"yes of course"
she picks up one of the briefcases and places her hand on it, It clicks open, she takes out a letter and an envelop, she reads the letter, looks at you all and nods then opens the envelop. Inside is the invitation to the Lecture.
"Mr scrub really is a wounder, its an invitation to the Lecture, One with party, under the name Mr Morris Hoopnob and wife"
She hands it over and the letter, the letter lists your names and descriptions signed Mr Scrub.
"That's the oddest thing, yes my Father did, but about a year ago we got a new maid, she was only here a week, then disappeared, the very next day my father was in such a tiz and hes files had been opened and all his notes and records on the venture where gone. At the time we just felt it was her getting back at us for something but now in the light of this."
She gets up, "How ever he did make some new notes from memory, they are in his office on the 3ed floor, under a floor board, Hastings"
Hastings looks worried, "Err mam would it not be best if one of the fine professionals here venture upstairs to retrieve it, seeing as there is still a broken window to the outside world and all."
She looks at you "Would you, I can tell you the spot"
I would be more than happy My Lady.
"Ill go too....to stop him from snatching up erything not nailed down
"well, we do have a plan, though at this new development I would like to state a backup plan that would be easier, though I personally wouldn't like it, I'll start with the one I like better," he puts on the sleeves appearing like the image given to you earlier "I will go with you as your plus one, the dwarf shall keep post on a nearby roof, and the rest of your new people shall pretending to be our servants, maybe one of them actually looking the part of a guard so as not to look suspicious.... alternatively you could simply not go, collect the five thousand gold pieces, purchase a wand or potion or something of sending, contact your uncle that way,"
"My father tried magic, nothing, it was if he was not there Mr Stewart, and we have servants clothing with the family arms on"
well that is a rather unique story. Good enough to have some interest in it... don't you agree scarlet?
Scarlet starts as Master Jack dresses herself.
"Hmmm?" She blinks. "Oh...I was thinking of dresses and cosmetics and such." Scarlet looks at Lady Garnet.
"Though, sadly, I don't think a disguise is going to go down well with out some extra magic to help change things..." Her voice trails away as she seems to lose herself in her thoughts again.
"I can pose as a guard" - Zaeltor comments.
The good lady is tall and very thin, about 6' with lang black hair and pale skin, here eyes are orange and black, cat like. She is very graceful and well spoken, Thin face long noise. She has little makeup on.
Hall smiles "plan A it is"
Move out :D
"Okay...what resources do you have, Lady Garnet?" Scarlet asks.
"Who amongst us knows about magic to hide one's appearance?" She asks every one else.
"I'm happy to act as a moving target while we sneak the Lady into the venue, sight unseen. Should we head out into the night to purchase more supplies for the coming event tomorrow?"
the illusion spell of disguise could do it but in order to last trough a full lecture you would need a very powerful wizard. Or for a good a amount of gold the item Hat of disguise would do the trick
"Oh..I'm expecting to use disguise and such as well.....But." And Scarlet points to herself and thence to Miss Garnet. "There's only so much a disguise can shift" (^_~)
"Besides...the disguise isn't to have the fine Lady sit through the lecture, but to get her some where safe and have ourselves draw out the bad folks who would seek to do our client harm." Scarlet sighs,
"And the best way for that to happen is to offer up the good Lady as bait." And here Scarlet of course points to herself.

Hall -> My Cloth had one dagger and a crowbar.
Sacarlet -> "all I have is the house and whats not been sold to pay the bills, there is no magic here at all.
The other two get the small note book
Knowledge roll, you pick to get what type of info from it

"I am sorry but I fully intend to be at the lecture, the two seats is front row and I wish see his face close, I will know if hes behind all this"
Zaeltor goes through the small notebook, looking for information.

It's talks of the money used to found the trip, also there is a 3ed partner in the venture a Mr Warwick, you know the name, he's a paper man, owner of a sheet that comes out once a mouth, in fact he lives close to here.
Hall, the book talks about artifacts of the old ones at a side of the fall a sky citadel, the fact that the citadel was never looted when it cashed to the ring, as it was seen as a holly site by the grass giants, clans, The three men believed they had found a way past the clans to the site, but it dos not say how they would manage this feat.
"huh, it's about an artefact of the old ones, indirectly guarded by grass giants, heavy stuff"
Scarlet smile s in reply to Lady Garnet, "Of course you shall be seated where you wish. Though, t'would be prudent for yourself to look like some one else and myself to look like yourself. That way, when the nasties come out of the wood work, they'll be surprised, you won't immediately be deceased and we'll have our chance to remove said threats." (^_^)
"already we have here appearing to be alone with an unarmed man and a few servants" he winks "after all if you can't take out a couple of posh aristocrats and "the help" you're not much of an assassin"he makes tut tut noises with his mouth "this event is tomorrow, correct?
Scarlet sighs, "Some enterprising bounty seekers were preparing to explode the whole house and all those in it." She points out,
"So...No, I don't think the subtlety of an assassin is what we might have to worry about. More the over zealous seekers of quick wealth and the clumsy attempts they will employ to instantly gratify their greed." Scarlet retorts back.
"So...having myself appear to be the Lady, while the Lady appears to be some one else is a good idea. Also, having some of us attend the venue early to get a 'Lay of the land' and surreptitiously search for wrong doing is a good idea." Scarlet nods to whom ever though of that idea first.
"most of the clumsy attacks will be easy to take down, or will affect so wide an area it won't matter where she is positioned, nah it's the professionals that know how to slip past people and get close without being noticed that you have to worry about" he looks thoughtful "any of you guys know how to help fix poisoning, like antitoxins and stuff?"
Scarlet shakes her head, "That's coming up in the courses for me in the future."
"Lets hope they don't decide to level the whole building, with every one inside..." Scarlet mutters.
"well if you had enough money that would be a better idea for a purchase over a disguise when our employer already has uniforms available," "they didn't have any moral quandries about it today," he shrugs "I can take people making a mad dash, what I can't take are explosions and poison, so that's what we have to be on the lookout for, well that and guns, the dwarf nearly blew that one intruder in half," he then looks thoughtful and turns to their employer "do you own any armor you could wear under clothing?
Scarlet smiles a little sadly, "It is obvious the gentleman does not understand ladies fashion." She points to his chest, "Where a fellow can get away with wearing something 'secure' beneath his shirt? A lady is not so disposes-ed to be able to place under her bodice." Scarlet tilts her head, "Though, if you're indicating wearing such protection so as to be a better 'full stop' for the Lady? The idea again, it does have merit." (^_^)
Olrik scratches his beard.... "antitoxin...."
[Knowledge local:]
Mebbe one a tha craftsmen haves a bottle er two they'd part with...."
Yes its tomrrow
KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!
Someone is at the main door.

Gigar walks up to the door and reaches for the door knob. He looks back and motions for Scarlet to get in front of Lady Garnet, Hall to stand behind the door, and Zealtor to get ready to blast the guy. Once everyone is in posision, I open the door and greet with Good Evening Sir (Ma'am), How might I help you this late hour?
Zaeltor follows Gigar closeby, staying out of sight, with his bow in hand.
Three men stand at the door step, all in overalls, the one in front is a bit shocked to see you, but says,
"Sorry Sir we have a suspected gas leak, we think is located in this probity"
He holds up a clip board,
"As you can see under city ordinance 256 a45 c, we have the right to enter this property and search for said leak, so if you would be so kind as to let us in, we can go about our work and be gone in no time"
Seance motive rolls please
turning toward the lady:
where you expecting company tonight?
