Nàdair: You definitely notice him moving opposite everyone else, but between flamehead running one way, Harrie running another, the crowd moving yet another way you can't really get a good feeling on his behaviour one way or the other. For the moment, you take off at a dash after him, but he's moving pretty quickly. For the time being, you still can spot where he is, but it becomes more difficult with every footfall. How long do you want to chase the musician?

OOC:
until he stops or I loose him (or Alata interferes!)

Alata follows the hooded figures leaving into the allyway. At first walking then slowly leading in to a hardy jog.
OOC:
Alata does move swiftly though the horde of people, more like a moving wall. He doesn't shove the poeple out the way but he don't try to get out of the way either.

"Blast and break it all," growls Maighan as she turns this way and that, trying to regain sight of the hooded figures. "How do you people put up with being so cursed tall?"

She grabs Roddric's wrist. "Can you see them? Can you see anything? If the mayor's in some sort of danger, someone needs to warn her."

Mönkhbat waits, maintaining his patience with a smile. He makes no indication of noticing the growing number of people gathering about, either uncaring or not really thinking of what that implies.

"Dimitrov, was it?" hails the half-orc. Perhaps the barbarian's patience is less than he thinks. "Care for a drink?"

OOC:
Go ahead and throw an athletics check out there Alata. Let's see just how effective you are at bullrushing through the crowd, lol.

Roddric is 6 ft tall, so he can probably see the figures if they have not moved out of line of sight. Roddric chuckles and says to Maighan, "oh I forgot about that, your. . . uh. . . viewpoint - follow me," as he grabs her sleeve and continues following the mysterious people, trying to keep them in sight or heading toward where he last saw them if he can't see them anymore. "I think your assumption that they are heading toward the Mayor's mansion is probably correct."

Maighan and Roddric: Roddric, you are able to keep tabs on the figures as they move, given that the crowd is moving much the same direction.

Alata: You push your way through the crowd with little concern for their presence. More than one beer sloshes across your clothes, and no fewer than three empty mugs get thrown at you as you disregard people's space.

Nàdair: You're able to follow his trail for about thirty seconds, before you find yourself chasing nothing but a memory of his look. Turning about at this point, you can't figure out which way he may have gone, other than away. In addition, you've now lost sight of the others in the group.

Mönkhbat: Dimitrov steps forward, a smile across his face. Aye half-breed. I'll share a drink with you. What are you offering? Through his lips you can see teeth that have seen better decades, and his eyes hold a shadow of something darker than you've seen in a long time.

Alata will continue pursuit wiping the liquid off him doing his best not losing focus.

"How fast can a human be?" Nàdair looks around trying to figure out where Jekker went. Having no clue where he is, she looks back and, noticing she is on her own, tries to find the others.

Mönkhbat takes one of the gourds from his makeshift sling. "Local brew," he says, giving the container a slosh before holding it out. "Sorry, I ain't got a cup handy."
Aug 22, 2019 9:21 pm
Dimitrov takes the offered gourd and takes a good solid drink, wiping drips of the liquid from his lips when he hands it back. That is mighty tasty.

Alata/Roddric/Maighan, you see Mönkhbat swapping a gourd back and forth with a rail-thin man.

Nàdair, you can attempt to track your folks with a Survival check, or you can take the rest of the hour and eventually find your way to them. Up to you!

🎶 Survival checks are fun 🎶
🎶Otherwise, I'd take one hour to run🎶
OOC:
Clearly a roll to sing about!

Alata is more concerned with the pursuit he takes note and continues.
Aug 23, 2019 3:08 pm
OOC:
missed a MINOR detail Alata, my bad. The people you were following stop in the same vicinity as Mönkhbat and the man. They seem to have him kind of surrounded, but peaceably so.
Aug 23, 2019 4:24 pm
"I'm Mönkhbat," says the half-orc. "Figured a big town like this had more'n just a few guards keeping the peace. I take it you're the local whatchamacallit?"
Aug 23, 2019 6:01 pm
OOC:
OH, in that case i'd stay about 10' back and see whats going on.

Mönkhbat: Dimitrov chuckles. You've got it all wrong Mönkhbat. We're not that local, we don't grant favours or give offers you can't refuse, and if the guards weren't so busy chasing their tails they would lock us up rather than take our bribes. Our presence here is purely business, our home is a bit away. Dimitrov looks at you and shrugs. You look like someone that doesn't mind a bit of walking, so if you're really interested in what we do I can give you directions. Several individuals around shift uncomfortably, clearly not happy with Dimitrov suggesting he'd give the directions to their home base to a stranger.

Nàdair: As you turn around you see a glimpse of Roddric and Maighan, Roddric holding on to Maighan's sleeve (or hand?). When you start making your way after them you also notice a spray of of drinks flying through the air as someone pushes their way through the crowd, when you look a bit closer you see that someone is Alata, making his way into a small street off the square. You can easily spot him stopping a few feet back from what seems to be a gathering of several groups of people all looking at Mönkhbat and another man sharing a drink and having a chat.

Roddric and Maighan:
OOC:
what do you do?
OOC:
sorry for the silence from me! Had two weeks of vacation in Luxemburg which were waayy busier than I expected! And then the last week of summer vacation with a kid that's ready to start school again... Things should go back to normal from Monday

Mönkhbat takes a swig from the gourd and passes it back to Dimitrov. "Man, you don't even give back to the people? That don't sound right." He wipes his mouth with the back of his hand. "But, ain't my place to tell you how you run your business. So long as you ain't killing folk I guess you do what you gotta do.

"Thanks, but that kind of work ain't my style. I prefer my challenges up front, with less sneaking around."
