Rake Archolme's page

So is that all the info we've collectively managed to dig up?

Yup no worries. I'll be lurking and checking in.

Super quiet here.

Rake nods a confirmation to Amyra's suggestion to go in after midnight.

After the meeting adjourns, Rake takes a long walk that crisscrosses various streets and avenues and then doubles back on alleyways and some treacherous rooftops. A couple times he even waits in the shadows to make sure he's not followed.

Stealth: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 31
Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18

When he's sufficiently sure he heads off to the Theumanexus College.

Waiting under the shadow of a tree he waits till a girl walking past notices him.
She walks over to him, her eyes darting around to see if anyone is watching or taking notice.

"Lori. It's been a while." Rake says.

"What're you doin ere' Rake?" She replies sharply.

"I got a lead on Lamm. Word is 'e's at some fishery. I'm goin in tonight. An' I need to know anythin' you can remember 'bout the joint from way back."

Lori looks stern but also angry and sad that she's being asked this. She bites her lip and clenches her fists.

"I wouldn't ask. But... I need ya to remember. I'll need the edge if'n I'm gonna make it in there and bring 'im down." he says, his voice going softer and more comforting. He would reach out to her but remembers that after what she's been through, she doesn't like to be touched.

Lori looks around and gathers some strength and looks him in the eye. "Okay, ah'll tell ya what ah remember...

Rake turns around to face the assembled group "I... I used to work for Lamm. It was a long time ago. I would be suited for infiltrating the place. Before we go in we need plans, a layout of the place."

Are we gonna play out the thing or just make rolls for information? if so what are we rolling?

Rake raises an eyebrow when he hears the half-orcish woman mention bringing in Lamm alive but says nothing more.

After the meeting he heads with the group to the new location and see's the inner sanctum of the Tess woman and then see's the clothes of her alter ego on the mannequin.
Then walks around an stands in front of the picture of Lamm.

Staring at the image of Lamm and not turning around to the others.
"Lamm has his grubby paws in pretty much everything. But the last few weeks his operations have been overly active. Something's up and whatever it is is going to happen soon. We have to find out what it is and be there when it does." he says grimly.

"Rake. Rake Archolme." Rake says as he looks around at the gathered company.

Then after a moment of sizing them up his eyes go narrow and he says.
"Crimson Shrike."

Grudingly Rake crosses his arms and says "Well.. I guess you have a point there." he concedes.

When Amyra asks for volunteers for introductions he remains quiet. Curious to find out who's who.

Cool. I guess all that happens at the end of the scene?

Rake steps forward and eyes Amyra "Wait in line lady! Lamm's mine." he says with a growl.

Then turns to Alika. "This could be a trick." He's suspicious and nervous but covers it with anger.

"I... I got a message to be here." Rake replies with a bit more snap than is necessary.

"Did your message say why?"

When Rake gets there he scopes out the area around the shop before entering. Clearly agitated, he still listens to the young woman's tune. He see's the others step in one at a time and raises an eyebrow at each. Some he knows and some he doesn't but still says. "Why are you people here?" Then looks back at the girl, "What's the meaning of this? And who is this Alika person?"

Riven, his name before leaving, before the slavers, before Mwangi, before Lamm, before the Crimson Shrike.
He takes the Tarot and looks around making sure his employer or any customer isn't around then walks over to the flaming forge and throws the card in. Best to keep the secret he thinks to himself.
Riven, or Rake as he now calls himself goes about the rest of his day, working the forge, helping customers with a smile. Meanwhile in the back of his mind he ponders who could have figured it out and how.

"Oh I'll be there at dawn, but you'll have some explaining to do, whoever you are."

Welcome back :)

Sorry, I changed the name of my social Identity from Riven to Rake. Hope that's alright.

- Your characters know each other social identity, but are not "close". You know your names, the basic history, your business and general knowledge. They also know about the vigilante identity, but have not work together before, nor have ANY inkling about who the "real" person is.
- For each character I would like.
* Who the Vigilante allies are? Who defend them, who likes them?
Crimson Shrike is ruthless to those who would do harm to the weak and downtrodden. He sometimes even scares them a little due to the stories of some of his dispensing of ruthless justice. Some even say he's possessed. But he has never harmed those that didn't deserve it and those that have have been changed, the ones that survived encounters with him. For that he hasn't much by the way of allies who condone his method of justice. However he does have one. Cressida Kroft of the Korvosan Guard. She knows that the guard need help and encourage adventurers to help out, that includes having a vigilante in her pocket she can point at trouble her and the guards can't get to.
Rake Archolme also tends to keep to himself. He's friendly to customers of course who frequent where he works. He managed to get a job at Mithral Marvels working for Bowman Figgs, a red bearded bald elderly man, who despite his age, you can see has the lineage of some powerful barbarians in his family tree. Bowman managed to give Riven a chance at redemption despite his past.

* Who the vigilante enemies are? is the guard actively opposing them? Which kind of criminal despise you the most?
After travelling to the Mwangi Expanse, which is where he learned how to use the boomerang with deadly efficiency, he had run ins with slavers. Especially slavers involved in the selling of women and children must fear him. Thy say that the real Crimson Shrike was born on the night when he found a cargo hold of women and children on a slavers ship and that by the end of that fateful night he was covered in the crimson blood of the slavers he killed on that ship.

* One extra magic item. Something small and flavorful. Like a 0 level spell item, or 1 level with limit of uses.

* One secret. That sometimes come easy, and sometimes comes hard.
Rake worked for Lamm for a time. And he managed to get someone out from Lamm's clutches, which was what led to Rake's eventual Beating. Lori, a teenage girl who Lamm manpulated and was his play thing. On one suck occassion is when Rake walked in on her Lamm beating her. It was the turning point for Rake. He got her out soon after and took the beating and was left for dead. He moved her to a different part of the city and helped her get off the drugs that Lamm had her on. He checks in on he often and is helping her with a new life as she attends the Theumanexus College.

* One Business, organization, etc.
Mithral Marvels is the Blacksmithing and Weapon maker in the East Shore where Rake works. Rake also rents a room in the shingles one block from the shop.

* District - Base of operations.
Rake lives in the East shore, which is strangely where the Crimson Shrike has been spotted "taking out the trash".

Please let me know if there's anything else you need info wise or need me to change, like names and whatever.

Riven reporting for doody. Hehe... i said 'doody'.
