She Who Always Tries grins at Spiegel "No assassin in the room. Something magical happened. You would have to ask her or Alan exactly what, I've never understood that sort of thing."

She Who Always Tries decides to follow the others; Lt Callahan will find us if there's a problem,.
"Why the extra weaponry Mr Stillwater?"
"There's probably very little we can do until the prisoners have been examined for dangerous magic, so we should plan what we're going to do next."
She Who Always Tries considers Amelia's comments and Roedar's reply. "So there's a connection to another country? That could explain where the magical power is coming from."
She Who Always Tries nods in agreement with Amelia "Although Wheeler has already told us more than Spindleshanks, it's probably a good idea to get him examined before we ask for more."
"Either there is a lot more to Wheeler than we know, or Spindleshanks knows things that Wheeler doesn't and whoever has been pulling their gang's strings is more worried about these things than about what Wheeler knows.
"If it was magic, it gives us another question to answer. What sort of power is required, and who is capable of doing it? And if it wasn't magic, what was it?"
"The Palladin has better things to do with his time than come in here on the off chance you've got something important to say."
She Who Always Tries leads the way into the room where Spindleshanks is waiting.
She Who Always Tries suppresses a grin as she acknowledge's Callahan's order. "I'm sure we'll have Spindleshank talking quickly enough, Ma'am."
She Who Always Tries nods in agreement with Amelia and moves forward to talk to Lt Callahan.
She Who Always Tries waits to see whether Amelia is going to be long. Spidleshanks can wait a little longer
Team OZ: "Well, do you think we've made Spindleshank wait long enough? Is there anything useful he's going to be able to tell us after what we've got from Wheeler?"
Team Oz: "I'm sure he'll attempt to negotiate from a position of strength, which we know he doesn't have"
She Who Always Tries also smiles at the guard. "Fruit juice of some sort? That sounds wonderful"
Team Oz: "We need to be clear that we are not jumping to answer his call. Perhaps a 15 minutes or so for us to take some refreshments while he sits and waits?"
Team Oz: She Who Always Tries grins at Amelia "It wasn't much, I just suggested he was wasted on his current life path. I think it was the rest of the conversation that convinced him. And yes, there's some personal feeling involved, I think"
Team Oz: In common "Well, that explains your familiarity with captivity. I'm sure the mayor will give you a just reward for your help."
And in Vanaran "And even fewer who paint as well as you. Perhaps you should consider a new career."
Team Oz:
Replying in Common
"Then you will be looking at these walls a long time, the master considers you less than a flea on the dog. And don't try to scare me with threats of death and dismemberment; we all die, the world decays, and maybe we go round again. Why would we offer you anything, when you were little more than muscle doing the bidding of your gang leader? Surely they know more than you, and you can just be left here, protected by walls, bars and chains." She glances toward the door, then changes to Vanaran. Team Oz in Vanaran: "I thought, perhaps, I could help one of my own people. But I see you are too stuck on your path for that to mean anything."
Team Oz: She Who Always Tries replies to Wheeler in Vanaran "Lawyers are just something you can't avoid in the Watch. There's even one outside to watch me talk to you. That's perhaps something I would be more free without."
She switches to common for Amelia and Adrian's benefit, assuming that Wheeler will be understand.
Team Oz: "I'm sure we'll learn something from one of them. Let's go talk to Wheeler"
Team Oz: "I wonder what brought him here. I will look more closely at his paintings this time; I'll admit to being surprised that he was painting me, and didn't take a good look at the rest."
Team Oz: "If Wheeler is behaving himself, and not using his strength, he might be waiting for something that will let him free soon. We should try to find out what that might be. Oh, one last thought before we see him, he was painting pictures in his cell, including pictures of me. I wonder how he'd feel if he wasn't allowed to paint."
Team Oz: "Wheeler seems to put a lot of store in freedom; he told me I'm chained by rules and law, and he's not. As he's already locked up, I'm not sure how we can use that against him."
"Well, Miss Rolshen, let's not give our suspects a chance to get a good look at what we do, or don't have on our hands." She thinks for a moment before continuing.
To Mulancy, She says "I think those may be useful when we question Spindleshanks, assuming the gang leader knows more about things going on with their gang than the gang do."
She Who Always Tries gives Amelia a quick, friendly smile.
"Oh, I should also ask your preferred form of address while we are working."
"I'll be happy to talk to the gang members again, Ma'am. It might be worth it if the cases are linked" She glances over at Amelia before continuing
She Who Always Tries approaches Callahan. "Ma'am, the Vanara we arrested at the party seemed to know something about trouble coming, so maybe his friend Jade would know something about it too. I'd like to see if we can get him this time."
Welcome to the Squad
When She Who Always Tries gets together with the rest of the group, She will mention Wheeler's comment about the city burning.
She Who Always Tries gives Wheeler a quick smile that displays all of her teeth.
"I'm sure we will all learn from our mistakes. We'll get better at working together as we do it more." She Who Always Tries looks at the crooks, then leans over and speaks quietly to Sven
She Who Always Tries will make sure all her weaponry is properly put away before entering the room, which will also give time for the grease to be dispelled.
Given the situation, She Who Always Tries isn't going to shoot at the bat, there's too much chance of something going wrong
Changing how I worded the rest of my actions and totally failed to spot silly damage. I'm a bit surprised I hit with that attack roll, actually. Learning moment - read everything several times and think about numbers before posting
She Who Always Tries takes a swing at Wheeler as he moves away
Then She positions herself in the doorway, looking into the room and readies an action to attack any of the thieves that try to leave
Vanaran:
Feel free to give up before this gets too painful for you Non-lethal
She Who Always Tries makes a grab for the railing and stops herself falling.
Free action Vanaran: Who's holding your leash, Vanara who would rather be carried than climb a simple wall?
She Who Always Tries had drawn her Sap, so will take the attack of opportunity.
She Who Always Tries drops her crossbow at her feet (free action), pulls out her Sap (move action) and shouts at Wheeler in Vanaran.
Vanaran:
"Stay where you are, unwanted child of an unknown tribe. I'm with the watch, and you're being arrested. Or pulped like an over-ripe fruit" (standard action)
She Who Always Tries responds to Callahan's order by opening fire on the bat. Each round she can fire and reload. Round 1:
Round 2:
Round 3:
She Who Always Tries comes into the room to tell Callahan that there's something suspicious approaching, then tries to warn Milo that he might want to keep an eye on the skylights.
Her reaction to the drugged guests is a quick burst of Vanaran, then She unslings and heads back to the balcony.
For anybody that speaks Vanaran: "Oh nuts!" and a single short curse-word
She Who Always Tries reaches into a pouch and takes out her Hunter's Sight. Fitting it over one eye she tries to make out more detail of whatever it was that caught her eye.
She Who Always Tries is attempting to stay out of the way of the party, spending most of her time watching the room from the door to the balcony, and the rest on the balcony looking over the river with a bit of attention paid toward the roof in case somebody's managed to get up there from somewhere else.
She Who Always Tries has a good look around the roof and if she doesn't see anything unusual, she will climb back to the balcony with the best view of the rear of the hotel.
She Who Always Tries will have spent some time on the journey to the hotel trying to have a conversation with Tackleberry about weaponry, asking why he prefers the ones that make so much noise. Once at the hotel She will begin by looking over the obvious entrances and exits, going to each of the balconies and taking a good look at the exterior walls of the hotel to see how easy she thinks they would be to climb.
If things remain quiet, and the wall looks easy enough, She will climb up (20' climb speed, and a 25 climb check by taking 10) and have a look round the roof.
Hmm, Bonded Mind would be useful if I'm on a roof and the tin cans are down in the street.
As a total aside, are the standard issue Ioun Torches blue?
Well, if I've got everything right, this should be me. Parkour crime spree? Sounds right up my rooftop :) |
