Miselle moved up to Alice and slapped a patch on the back of the wounded warrior. Positive energy pulsed from the strange collection of cloth, gears and wires before it fizzled and dropped.
"I think we should use speed and range to fight thing," Miselle said slowly, already regretting being so close.
Miselle winced. She wasn't sure if this was helping or not. It certainly wasn't a fun noise..but it wasn't attacking either. "It seems to be stuck!" she called over to the others. "Save the papers, I'll try and keep it so." Chambering another slug or iron, the gun whirled again.
Do you want Alice as a boos fight later? 'Cos that would be how you get Alice as a boss fight later.
Wincing and making a comment about how it sounded like a thousand mating cats, Miselle continued forward and fired again. Cranking a fresh round into place, the gun made a sharp hum akin to an angry bee as it powered up again.
Wincing at the sound of the meaty thunk from the rear of the warehouse, Miselle continued moving forward and raised her gun to target the Golem, hoping to blow something important off it and help Alice.
Miselle ran to a position where she could get a clear shot if it became needed, and hoped it didn't. That Golem looked less than friendly.
I have a tazer. I'll shoot the Golem as I move towards the bad guys, then start the tazing.
I don't suppose any of us have learned to make water since the last time fire was a problem? Are we going to risk gunfire on the golem? With Miselle and Az both hampered, I'm not sure fighting a golem is going to be an option. Plus, there's already fire...
"I wonder if I can make something that will let you do that," Miselle murmured as she worked on the lock.
"No need, I hope." Miselle moved up to the lock, pulling out some small tools. She was good with her hands, after all, and so locks had always been something she could get around. Now she had the equipment to do so. It would be faster than breaking them...she hoped.
"How odd," Miselle noted mildly, wondering why the location would involve a government facility. "Best we not use lights or torches within, although I imagine there will be safety lamps somewhere." She looked at the lock, and added, "Do we have time to go and find the carrier of the keys?"
"I think this stuff isn't oil, or at least not oil from around here," Miselle suggested. "And a pinch there are some vegetable oils and the like you can use for machinery. Just a bit more work, but some allow a smoother action."
Miselle simply looked for hints as to what might be going on.
"It seems likely," Miselle agreed uneasily, raising her now heavily modified weapon. No normal gun should crackle with electricity, or so she'd been told. "Perhaps the spell Gale gave us could allow us to track down the source?" she suggested.
"Can we check the area with the feelings of unease before we go to Nevard's events?" Miselle wasn't at all certain the two were related...but she wasn't sure they weren't, and that was enough to want to get it done.
"Perhaps they are working on some industrial projects. If they are taking control of so many producers of resources then maybe they need it for some large project." What that might be, however...
Yeah, for now I'm just holding my loot in reserve. I can't really think of anything I wanna do, beyond enchanting a few bits, but I'm not thinking well for now.
I'm afraid I'll be a little bit quiet, but yes.
It's Emerging in Risur. Danor has more advanced firearms, but doesn't often sell them, so it's possible to find the more advanced ones...they're just expensive and shiny.
I'm gonna hold off buying anything for a moment, as I can't think of anything to buy right now.
"We should certainly be present when he reveals his prediction, both to see what it is and to make sure none attempt to stop him. There is always someone who wishes to silence another." Miselle did not approve of such, generally.
I've spent a lot on getting gear I need, so is there any supplies the party as a whole could do with?
"He will likely refuse us, but we could also offer some protection." Although that was likely a political disaster waiting to happen, what with the royal wedding and all.
"Now we know what the documents contain I see no reason why not," Miselle agreed.
Miselle considered for a few moments. "It might be so. The leadership in Danor has...issues, hence why my family is here. Either someone high up is helping, or someone thinks they are."
Rubbing the back of her neck, Miselle neatly placed the documents down with her other hand rather than tossing them on the table. "Follow the money. Whoever wishes to own so much has a reason." Checking her notes, she tried to reason what they could be building. Something that required alkahest, apparently, as they had tried to burn Sechim's.

"Ayres," Miselle replied. It was the noble area of the city, and thus where the House was. "My sister is in charge of the place, but she will welcome anyone who does not care for manners or which fork is important."
"The family home would do," Miselle suggested. "It would not be abnormal for me to house guests there, after all, and few would be willing to evoke the wrath of the Fitelle's. Upsetting a family of gunsmiths and inventors sees your enemies better armed at a bargain price."
"I vote to return to Delft," Miselle said simply. "Let those better skilled to it sift through the records."
Cool. Also, due to a family emergency, I'll be away this weekend. Since I don't intend to take my laptop with me I likely won't post.
"Sounds smart to me. He'll be safest there." Miselle agreed.
Yup. Do you want me to pop it in my status bar as a reminder?
Cool. The Technician is a very equipment focused class, I have found, so I'll have to be careful about that. If I get stripped of my gear it's gonna remove a lot. Also, one thing for the GM to note from this update - I have gotten the Heightened Awareness ability from the Scout Sphere as a bonus. Basically, I get a Perception check when I walk within 10ft of a trap or spell that would do me harm.
Miselle will sadly need some time to perform some upgrades on her gear. What time of day are we at now? Also, since we've levelled, what's out new budget for gear?
Well, now we gotta go back so I can suddenly unveil and unleash railguns on the bad folks. Screw the Doctor! We're dissolving badguys now.
Miselle swore at the rubble in her usual vicious way, trying once more to get through.
"Merde!" was heard at some volume.
Miselle waved to the pursuers cheerfully as Alice and Corynne arrived, and then fell back with the others. "I think we should be safe now. Alas, I fear they will bolt, but we should be able to track them down later." That telekinetic spellcaster had been...unpleasant. "Let's get to a watch-house for now, and make sure the Good Doctor is safe."
Waiting by the entrance with her weapon - and it's unpleasantly long effective range - Miselle laid down covering fire. Mostly she wished to spook the horses into fleeing, but if she got a driver and knocked him out...
For once regretting that she carried so much stuff, Miselle tried to follow.
I think we'll arrive at the same place, it's just the path we choose to get there. Other than Corynne most of us are probably better just running since we have a +4 fortitude or higher, so a 6+ should do it, but you guys might have a better chance on the other roll.
Well, of course. One would assume that a dire spiderhornet would have a vorpal chainsaw stringer, to match the one the murder clown riding it carries. ~~~~ On a related note, now that we're bravely running away, which way do we go?
It could be worse. ...the clowns could ride spiderhornets.
Yeah, fighting retreat is good. We can go places the carriages can't, and if we can find a choke point we have enough guns to make following very costly.
What else would be in a carriage? Common thugs? Pfft.
...clowns. Dozens of combat clowns!
I always take 'heavily outnumbered' as GMspiel for 'too many for you to fight and win, but it's your character'.
Miselle swore heavily and pointed her gun at the moving...shadow...thing. Hopefully this would be enough to discourage it.
