Animated Puppet's page

The guards do not notice you, or they don't seem to anyways

The puppet hurries you along,
It is quite impatient for a construction.

you don't spot anything of worth mentioning.

@ strigh: you slip down the rope(just take ten next time)

The puppet slides up the the wall with ease.
He stops at the top and waits for you silently.

guards perception: 1d20 + 2 - 5 ⇒ (14) + 2 - 5 = 11

The puppet moves to follow you. I am to follow it says,

The puppet then twist its hand and a grapple hook appears

It throws the grappling hook to the roof, where it latches to the gutter.

The puppet rattles at your questions. my master wants the powder destroyed. The theives have this powder, but it has an outrageous price. We need a sample. I am a puppet. My master is he who pulls all strings, the puppet maker.

It motions at small hooks on its limbs, hooks that would have held strings on a normal puppet.

as for why... The theives are planning to assault the lords castle, they intended to blow the west side apart, removing the town guard who sleep there. This will allow them more freedom.

the docks are clear. Down the walk you spot another puppet, sulking in the shadows. As well as another the other direction. The two guards in front of the warehouse are holding almost dead still.
You otherwise see nothing of interest.

The puppet takes in your questions for a second. He rattles and lifts an arm.

the powder is black, powered alchemy from the far east. Water renders it temporary useless, yet it may still activate. It is activated by fire, or considerable momentum, such as that from a blunt arrow. There is a whole ships worth here. The more powder, the more powerful the effect. Every quart is a 5ft blast. The amount here can level this building and cause considerable damage to the nearby buildings, which is why we emptied them. We do not know what the powder is made from, nor how to make it.

The puppet sputters for a second before continuing.
there are several clockwork soldiers inside. There is also 5 men put in charge of winding up the soldiers. They have a lower hall, guarded by something that destroys our puppet scouts. We assume it is an animal or similar beast.

The puppet holds out its hands, in which are two vials.

these are vials of Greek flame. Do not drink them or open them too close to the powder. These alone will destroy the building without aid from the powder. But the construct will remain.

my master says hello, and he is glad you have agreed to the terms. I have limited awnsers, for I am a limited mind. Ask, and I will try to answer.

The puppet's voice is strange and wood like.

the puppet is a construct, and has no motive. The streets,are empty, which is odd. The puppet is already aware of you, but doesn't hear your silent conversation

The puppet waits silently. Still motioning for you to approach.

You find the warehouse quite easily. As promised, a figurine made of wood with a grey cloak waits silently on the west side.

It looks at you with a blank face and motions for you to aproach
