OOC:
Also, it's more than just Bruv talking, so seems like a group check structure is more appropriate :P

*Tugs on the goalposts*

Maybe the Threats can be spent as, regardless of whatever she rants about, the words are unintelligible to anyone outside the room. So, not necessarily abnormal or alarming that the woman in the cage is upset about something?

LOL. No one else has said anything yet!
"What exactly am I complicated by being in this damned cage, you fool?" the woman splits back.

OOC:
Nekurr is not poisoned anymore? : (


"Praised be this night" Nekurr prays in an unambiguous way to the trickster side of Fortuna. "Go ahead Skeeter, I'll help the lady here." he says with a human grave voice.
OOC:
I'll stay back to keep an eye on your back (not much of a liar)

I'm boosting hildar and Tronus as bruv can do it as well right?... what a balanced roll!

OK, Hildar and Tronus are both augmented. But so is the weaver. :P

The woman pauses for a moment. "The Lady blesses us this night, Brother. I can feel her warming gaze. Was the boy not where I said he'd be? Where is he?"

Hilar keeps quiet in the middle of the group and scans the area for anything else of note.
OOC:
Primarily looking for anything of arcane or ritualistic in nature

Aside from the three exits (into the junk room, into the loft, and the closed door opposite), the only notable item in the room is the caged woman.
OOC:
Does Hildar want to try to see if the cage is anything special? Average (PP) Lore check to determine how it might be magical, or try another Utility spell at Easy to see if it is indeed magical.

OOC:
Going with Knowledge (Lore) check for the moment.....casting spells is probably going to tip her off that we’re not who we are masquerading as....bah, will just use the advantages to recover some strain. Contemplating the room is somewhat relaxing it seems lol

So this is a OOC draft. I think we may try to pin it on the mayor to check if he knows what is going on, but it's risky.
Let me know if you agree with the plan
"The boy?" Nekurr answers as if he had just realised he forgot something important. "Yeah the boy, we run into some trouble." he looks at Tronus and asks "Where did you leave the boy?"

OOC:
I really don't think it's wise to sit here and talk to Anzila.

But if we do, I don't think we particularly care about the boy at the moment.

What I'd like to try to achieve, IF we must talk to her, is to corroborate our suspicion that this cult had something to do with our missing Tax Man.

Because that is our only real authority to act here.

OK, all! Seems the plan is to silence her somehow. Please roll Cool for initiative.

Remind what the boosts are for, Remnant? Hildar and Tronus are augmented, but that should translate to an extra green apiece.
Nov 25, 2020 9:59 am
"Ah right the boy!" Nekurr says as he notices things are about to escalate to a more silencing level
OOC:
Can I use advantages to read into her motives/desires and maybe distract her (setback or something?). Unless they can boost my initiative :D

I thought I was sticking with Nera.
Nov 25, 2020 2:15 pm
OOC:
You are, but currently everyone's in the first room. I thought the idea was to knock out the caged woman, then you and Nera hang back in the front room while the others look around. Basically, I need an initiative order to determine if Anzila gets to react before y'all try to poke her with the sickle or whatever the plan might be.

Nera's Heightened Awareness shouldn't impact Cool checks either way, if that's where the boosts came from.

Need rolls from Hildar and Bruv! I'll roll Nera once y'all are done, assuming Somebox isn't back.
Nov 25, 2020 4:55 pm
OOC:
Bruv isn't planning on doing anything. He waved off his part at least in silencing her, determining it couldn't likely be done without raising a racket.

But I guess I might end up doing something anyway if she does start making a racket.

Cool, initiative

The woman in the cage narrows her eyes as all attention fixes on her. Her lips move subtly...
OOC:
OK, all of you can take your turns. If the idea is to poke her with the poisoned sickle through the cage, that's a standard Melee check, but the cage bars require you to treat it as a "called shot" -- so one maneuver to Aim, then attack with two setbacks, or take two Aim maneuvers (+2 strain) and reduce that to one setback.

Lighting is still an issue in this room unless someone sees to that first. So, difficulty = PP + 4Blk, reduced to 3 for 2 Aim maneuvers, and reduced to 1 Blk if someone handles the lighting issue first.

Rolls

Anzila's turn...

OOC:
Nekur is in reacting mode, so he will be waiting to see what the others are doing and improvise from there :D
he is also not very melee type of guy
