Vaek nods in approval of Bishop's plan.

After the man is confirmed dead, "Best that we stash this body lest it lead back to her." Vaek will pull the body off to the side and hide it under some garbage.
"Those who are useful are rewarded, those that are not ... discarded. Im thinking you would prefer to work with us. Let's not dabble any more." said softly as he becomes visible.
Once the door is opened Vaek turns himself invisible, rushing to the first gambler, standing behind him to make his attack
Vaek carefully sneaks up on the sleeping foe.
Vaek grins in agreement. He takes a moment to douse his blade tips with poison. "As long as I can get a quick unexpected attack, he should go down quickly."
Vaek is also keep watch from across the way of Sic.
It had been a few days since their last encounter with the mages. The loss of allies still pained him. Receiving the Mistresses' note of a new comrade lifted his mood. "A Member of the Usturn, can't say I know much about them. But alas, best to meet the new person that the Mistress has waiting for us." Vaek packs his things and then heads out towards Beggars Road.
So anthony, that means you should go to complete broken mode :)
From now on Anthony, you may only use broken daggers, that should balance it out :)
So did we just all die off?
Vaek uses his Dark Vision ability. In a hushed voice, if we get to a intersection, I can also drop a smoke bomb to make it more difficult for them to see. Vaek begins moving down the passageway.
double Move to the sewer grate.
Move to
in Cyclopian "Should I bring some smoke over Drovic?
yes you may, but you must provide many comic con pictures.
How does he know a spell was cast? Not bothering to ask questions, Vaek gives Anthony the lead and follows him.
"Its simple really. Somebody wanted to attract the guards, and they chose not to make us the target. So that wouldn't be the Mages, perhaps its somebody who knows are plan and knows something isn't safe. Or perhaps, they want to cause a commotion causing us to flee so they can attack us while the guard is busy. Though that seems less likely. So i'm taking it as a good omen.
"I've got a gut feeling, which may be good or get us killed. Either way, it should be fun. Let's flee towards the norther." Vaek begins walking briskly to the north ensuring that that his companions are with him.
"How the hell? Who knows were here? Vaek quickly scanning the area, looking particularly at roof tops not only from the north, but all sides Perception "Agreed, Maklo is too risky at the moment. Its curious that the arrow didn't come at us, perhaps, its a warning shot to to help us get out of here.
"I don't like the idea of splitting up with the Mages probably having everybody on high alert. Their "relaxed" guards may simply be a ploy to appear vulnerable. This isn't going to be as easy as they would let us believe." Vaek pauses to scan the area.
"I would feel better if we got a feel for guard movements. While being invisible is great, who knows what kind of enchantments they have on inside the place that will make it null and voice. Maybe we can see if their are more guards that are trying to be hidden on purpose.
"With the witches scar. Did that enable her to hear or see mine and Rosuc's conversation? I would hate to be planning an ambush only to be on the wrong side of it." The darkness cooled the air. He thought he could feel his fingers that had be removed with his hand not long ago. Clenching his lone fist he continued, "With my magic shoes, wear it was broadcasting my location, that was probably the work of a mage with significant mastery. More powerful then the witches scar. It seems to me we need to take whatever precautions necessary so they can't find us so easily. Its one thing to be caught off guard by a mage with such mastery, but if I'm going to get pinched again, its not going to be by a witch like we have seen.
Gathering the group together as they leave the tavern. Speaking in their guild language. "I don't know how the dark magic works, but with Rosuc still wearing the souvenir the Mages have given him. Any conversations with him could potentially lead the mages right too us." Looking over his shoulder for unwanted ears. "Anthony, I believe the woman you were speaking too. Rosuc mentioned a similar bit of information. I suggested that when that meeting take place, we utilize it as an ambush. Maybe we can rid this world of their assassins group once and for all. But for now, we need to prep for Maklo. As they continue to walk into the darkness. "Anthony .. Sic, am I being paranoid in their ability to track us? You both understand the arcane better then I. What can and can't they do?
Vaek:
Vaek chuckles. "That is a good suggestion, perhaps soon we can all meet at the cove, especially since we still have cinnamon to deliver for your bakery store."[/b]
While not an expert in talking in code. He suspects Rosuc understands that he should contact us once that meeting is setup, so we can provide some unexpected company While the scar had been staring him in the face, it suddenly dawned on him, that the Mages are probably following Rosuc with their devilish magic. It was time to get out of there... and quickly. "I am sure you will be in touch Vaek returns to the tavern and his companions Entering the tavern, he goes over to Anthony whispering in in their guild tongue "We need to leave now!"
Vaek: Straight to the point... What deal did you make with the Mages that they let you go. It wasn't out of the kindness of their heart. And what precautions did you make that they are not tracking you right now? They enchanted my shoes, but I was smart enough to check.[/b] A slight amount of anger showing through his direct question.
Vaek: Vaek softly chuckles. Its amazing how ones reputation may be hindered by some simple hearsay. You don't live this long with out fine tuning ones skill even this getting snagged can happen.[b]
Taking in the fresh air in was a nice change of pace. Tavern's tended to be over crowded and noisy. [b]Perhaps now with less ears and eyes around, we stop with the posturing. I am as good as it gets frankly. And with my crew, there is very few tasks that we can't accomplish. As for you. What did the Tower pinch you for? Vaek while still slightly behind Rosuc, closely gauges his response in effort to see if he will speak plainly.

For the same reason, my posting may be slightly inconsistant. Same friend.
Vaek, rises with Rosuc. Eyeing the room as he follows him.
Vaek walks over and pulls up a chair across from Rosuc. "Nice ornament you have there. You've been with visiting the Mages. And yet here you are free. How does that work?"
"And here I was thinking, I was special." Vaek gulps down his ale.
Vaek nodded his head in agreement. That rat has lived longer then needed. Unfortunately, there isn't time to case the joint out. This one is going to be messy.
Vaek, having only listened to the mistress until finally speaks up. "Our course of action seems clear. Maklo needs to be dead by morning. While in theory it would have merit to split up to accomplish multiple tasks at once. As was pointed out, ideally we would lay low. Considering that the Mages thought they could use me as a decoy, they are bound to focus on Maklo now. It would stand to reason that they would increase the guard where he is being kept. Unless Mistress, do you feel that Dether can take care of Maklo by himself?" Vaek rubbed his hand on his stump. "No, we focus on one task at a time, so no others are lost. Strength in numbers will win the day. Once Maklo is dead, then we move on to Firyin. Although, I am really looking to get my hand on Jumai." His anger filling the last sentence. Feeling the pain of Mael's loss and Sorad deserting the crew. Vengeance truly was the only thing on his mind, but he felt it best to hide that in front of the Mistress.
"Agreed. But lets be quick about it. I think it would be best if we turned in early tonight, as we know that the Tower scum are going to be doing everything they can search us out. We may want to hole up in the ropes warehouse. "
Taken extra responsibilities. .. But I'm sure at least they pay you the same
i could probably use it until I get a leather one. since i believe their is a dex penalty
I didn't want to appear greedy on the loot. Considering that It was my fault for getting caught and loosing everything. But those items that sorad mentioned, I could obviously use. I need to go order another Wakzashi to be made since that will take about a week. I will slowly start working on leveling up as well.
"indeed, in fact next time we will let you deal with the group by yourself." Vaek sneered. He had to admint that Drovic truly had a place on this crew, he just didn't want to give him too much satisfaction "After we get the spoils figured out. Then there is only one thing left to do. Knowing that the Mageocracy will be breathing down our throats first chance they get. Do we lay low for a bit, or perhaps create the largest crime wave this side of Gumlat? I for one am meaning to misbehave on a grander scale."
a grin creeps out out of the side of his mouth, "I don't know sic, these may be a good luck charm. We have have a nice score for today's work." Before leaving the alley, he ditches the enchanted shoes.
With the witch that cursed me, now dead. Does that cause her magic on my face to go away also?
Vaek slides over next to the armored foe. Taking his time, measures him up looking an opening. "I guess your right, its better we do this the hard way"
For selfish reasons, if we are able to get the halfling too, I'm guessing he's a ninja like me. Which means he probably uses the same sword I had stolen from me. So that would be a nice take. The armored guy would be my 2nd choice.
Vaek moves across the room, dropping down at . Taking a swing at the armored enemy.
+2 if this is a divination effect.
