Sounds good to me. Just tell me where to swing my axe.

"Perhaps you can follow us to the cage fight, but mingle with the spectators? See if you can gather any information or determine any weaknesses. Maybe save our butts if things do not go well?"

OOC:

Still wanting to disengage for the night, but happy to say hi to Kon, briefly, and interact with him, so I decided to post again. Hi Kon!

Jacob catches up with Teth as she returns from the Weird Sisters. "Fighting street thugs it seems is a distraction from our goal. If we can manage to stop this source of evil we may plug a hole to the underworld. That furthers our quest indeed, and paves the way for Kiltzi's return."

Watches his wife transform before his very eyes into a sexy thug and has regrets that he didn’t ask her to do this earlier in private.

Kit lets her hair fully down and smiles devilishly, "I'm very excited for this!"

Kitsune uses her warlock tricks to disguise herself as a thug, with the transformed Teth in her coat as a rat. They proceed to the roundabout with the waterworks, a mostly abandoned building due to recent events. No workers come and go as the magical pumps have been damaged or shut off during the recent sieges by orcs on the city. A few campfires of criminal looking ruffians occupy the entry way. The throngs of rural refugees do not crowd this part of the city, mainly due to the unsavory denizens and the rumor of beasts that stalk the allies. The air has a pungent smell of oil lamps and waste that is not being flushed from the bowels of the city. Having his holy symbols disguised by Kitsune, Dukalu and Stormslayer saunter into the roundabout at a different point. Jacob and Kon stealthily make their way along the rooftop.

The entry way is crowded, the windows are blackened, the smoke stacks are quiet.

Before we leave, I gather the party together and ask Teth to reveal all the druids said, and add: "So it would seem, if we can trust them, the true evil is some powerful creature in the bowels of the sewer, pun intended. Don't get so caught up with ridding the city of from ruffians that we loose track of the goal of getting to and destroying the source of their power. Without that power, they are not as embolden, and probably separate and may even return to normal jobs once things get back on track.
If we must get through them to get to the villain behind it all, then so be it. They made their choices, but I have to think our plan now seems a bit gratuitous and perhaps we can stem the loss of life. But such is the burdens I carry in my heart."
Jacob sighs, afraid such burdens are a precursor to those that would come with a crown. Then he noticeably brightens up to encourage."Nevertheless, none of these men are choir boys, and any women there should be thought of as the same. Perhaps some were coerced, some saw no other option, and most are likely just trying to survive, but any vigorously cheering to see death in the arena are none of those things.
PLAN: Kit, you must find a way into the sewer and if Teth can explore and find a way in and note defenses or lack thereof, that would be great. The question is getting the info back. I can send a few messages mentally, hopefully others can do the same. Kit and Duke have magic devices that allow them to do the same.
FEAR: That Duke/Storm are wounded to the point we must rest. Perhaps we do recon and get in with the crowd today, come back here and heal, and then try to sneak in the sewers tomorrow? Perhaps, we see our chance today and go for it, but it will no doubt take our combined efforts to fight the great evil below, who will no doubt have underlings to over come. MAYBE if we cause a RIOT to pull the underlings attentions away, or cause some of them to be damaged . . .
NO one go rogue, let's get all the info we can get, communicate as best we can and then take action. No one is left behind, and if one goes down, is that more important than the mission? It is to me.

Walking Dead finale and new spin off tonight. Gonna be out of pocket till tomorrow.

"Prince Jake, that's a very intelligent plan. I fear I would go rogue if I find out that Kitty is in danger. But I figure she would be smart. Can you recieve messages as well as send them? Storm and I seems to be the most exposed if a crowd of thugs surround us.
I don't know if even Kon can rescue us."

I'm with kids on a mini vacation watching dvd nonstop for two nights. I wont be able to concentrate on a full on roll play but would love to keep this going as PBP. There are enough moving parts that we can move three story lines at the same time with as much play on each as people want to participate. Feel free to progress the plot as you like. I have a module that I'm rifting.

Kit rubs Duke's cheek sweetly as she smiled and said, "I promise that I will do my best to not succumb to my tendency to step eagerly in front of danger unless there's no choice but to. And I'll have Antethoe with me so I won't be alone anyways... so no going rogue allowed please love."

Methinks Kitten has claws. And you should learn to trust her, but what do I know. She's the only goddess I know.

Kit drops her hand from Duke's face and turns to Jacob with a look that, if the force existed in this plane, would inevitably choke him. "Me thinks that the Paladin has his reasons for concern, which I'm perfectly okay with him having. Me also thinks Kitten does in fact have claws." Kit pulls her crystal out, tossing it into the air, and then catching it. "You want to see how badly Kitten's claws can hurt?" she asks, smiling coyly at this point as the truly devilish side of her comes out.

"Now that we're all fired up, let's go kill some street thugs." Goes with Kon into the shadows.

"Kitty, I do not believe Jacob is going to take your baiting. I love that you are comfortable with me being protective when I can and still give you space. Shall we proceed? Who is first to go in and how?"

Kit turns to smile happily at Duke before a realization hits her. She reaches up and removes the feathers from Duke's hair and carefully places them hidden away inside her leather armor. "Now, we're ready. I think Teth and I should go in first, get started on recon in case the boys run into trouble."

We head the direction of the water works.

Oct 7, 2020 8:32 pm

Wrapped in a cloak fashioned by the Green Folk, and shod in boots of the same make, the bard prince slips over the rooftops, staying in eye contact with his dwarven ally, who was raised hopping rocks and scaling canyons were billy goats would fear to trod.

We look out for the Paladin and Goliath as they make their way to the pits of despair, trying to note traps or cons.

Oct 7, 2020 10:28 pm

Jacob and Kon notice a slight urchin girl pop out of a tiny blackened window onto the ledge outside and look around. She checks the loitering thugs in the street just at the entrance below her and also the clanking cacophony of plate mail and lumbering Goliath coming down the middle of the street. She looks over the chimney tops.

OOC:

Jacob, please roll for stealth and for investigation of traps. If you attempt to move closer to the building, please roll Acrobatics for the running jump over the 10’ alley

Kitsune and the rat formerly known as Teth make it to a ten foot wide alley next to the waterworks, some 40 feet from the entry. There is much trash and a few threadbare tents in the alley. It goes deep into the massive buildings.

Rolls

Perceiving Jacob at disadvantage against his stealth check - (1D20+2, 1d20+2)

1D20+2 : (5) + 2 = 7

1d20+2 : (9) + 2 = 11

"Come Stormslayer, do you know any drinking songs? We will head straight to the entrance. You announce yourself before we get peppered with crossbow bolts."
