Mack? Well thank you Mack and, uh...you, she says, looking to Kessel. You are ushered out of the alleyway back to where your van was parked. The bus stop is about 3 blocks north up the road.
May 12, 2016 5:54 pm
"Kessel. My name's Kessel, miss. And that's Breech-a." Kessel says, pointing out the droid. "So, uh, the bus stop, right?" Kessel is unsure whether to offer the woman a ride. He looks to Mack for suggestions.
May 12, 2016 5:56 pm
Oh, yes. Thank you...Kessel. It's just a few blocks up, if you don't mind walking me there I would be incredibly thankful, she says and gives a small smile, starting to put her recent experience behind her.
OOC:
I will say, if you want to convince this woman you just met to get in your windowless van with you and your murder bot you may need to make a Persuasion check. At this point it's a DC18.

"Uh, walk with you? Sure. You guys walk, and I'll ride off to that side of the street to make sure you aren't bothered. Breech-a, grab your gear from the van and guard the opposite flank." Before riding off on his bike, Kessel tells Mack & Lacei, "If you need us, just holler." When he's sure Lacei isn't looking Kessel winks at Mack and points at himself while mouthing the word, "Wingman!"

Oh, uh. Yes, that's fine. Just as long as you can get me safely to the bus stop, she says as she digs out a SWMT pass for the bus from her bag. Seriously, I appreciate the help, she says, adjusting her glasses again, more of a nervous gesture than to correct any sort of issue with them.

Breech-a returns to the van. He inspects the caliber of the ganger pistol to determine if its ammunition can work in his own weapon (if so, he releases the clip and stuffs it into a vest pocket). He deposits the kenku's gun inside the van and retrieves his pistol, holstering it inside his tac-vest.

After locking their transport, the construct returns to Mack and Lacei to take position opposite the gunslinger.

OOC:
The pistol ammunition will indeed work in your current weapon. It's only a few bullets in the clip, but you stash it all the same.

Kessel whispers into his private channel with Breech-a, "Give 'em some space, buddy. Flank 'em about 30 feet." Kessel checks O.W.L.'s camera feed, making sure all is clear.
OOC:
Is the street wide enough for what I'm suggesting?
May 12, 2016 7:32 pm
OOC:
Yeah, I'll say the street should be wide enough for you to give the two some "privacy". Lol.
May 12, 2016 7:42 pm
Breech-a dutifully complies, crossing the street to walk on the opposite side. His stride is confident, like he is supposed to be there.

Mack casually escorts Lacei, trying not to roll his eyes at his friends. "So, Lacei, what is it you do for a living? This part of town doesn't seem like it should be your usual stomping ground..." He keeps an eye out for any trouble, as best he can, figuring that more folks being away of a potential problem is a good thing.

OOC:
You don't make out any distinct threats out on the main street here, but you keep a vigilant eye out.
Oh. I uh. I work over in the Castle Ward. I'm an Accounts Rep for Silver Star...you know...the medical company, she says as she digs in her bag idly, I know I had mace in here at one point. I really should be more prepared, she continues, muttering more to herself at this point.

Yes. This is a bit out of the way. I really spaced today and didn't realize how far I had missed my stop by. If you guys hadn't come by, she says, shuddering a bit.

So, what do you do, Mack? Do you guys just go around saving random people?
May 14, 2016 5:39 pm
"Uh... no. Saving people isn't our usual gig." Mack offers. His brain moves quickly while he tries to figure out how to avoid saying he's basically in a criminal gang. "We are independent contractors that handle all sorts of odd jobs. Unfortunately, it doesn't always pay that well, so we live in a rougher part of town and have to get used to staying alive in these parts."

"Accounts Rep, huh? Does that mean you are on the road a bunch visiting hospitals and clinics?"

I wouldn't say a bunch. I more represent those around San Waterdeep here. I'm in charge of selling and distributing supplies to the various outlets that need them, she says, as if she has explained this a hundred times. Usually if I have to travel around the city work pays for a car service.

She brushes some hair back out of her face. Sounds like a rough life. Do you do construction or something?, she says with almost a look of hope in her eyes that the answer is that simple.
May 17, 2016 3:12 am
"Hrm. No. Not so much into construction." Mack muses, "More of a glorified form of guard duty, really. Rent-a-cops, if you will." Mack shrugs, "You know, watching over stuff -- escorting things. Delivering messages into shady parts of town."

Breech-a maintains his escort from a respectable distance.

As you are arriving to the bus stop you see her fiddling with the zipper on her bag. Ah, I see, she says as realization seems to cross her face. Well, either way, thank you very much for the escort.

She looks up and sees a bus pulling up, Oh, this is my ride, she says as she starts to go towards it. She stops and looks back, digging in her bag and pulling out a small slip of paper. Hey, if there is anything I could do to repay you, feel free to get in touch, she says, handing you a business card with her name inlayed at the top. She brushes her hair back over her ear and smiles, krinkling her nose a little in the process. She turns and hops on the bus and in a few moments she is gone. You are left at the bus stop holding her card.

Breech-a continues a methodic scan of the area, but you don't see any sign of more Kenku or threats to the elf anymore. No doubt your escort has helped to keep any seedier elements that may have been around at bay.

Kessel pulls up, grinning. "Got her number, I see. Who's the best wingman ever, huh?"
May 20, 2016 12:50 am
Mack waves to the elf as she departs.

Mack shakes his head. "She's cute and all -- but she's too legit. Probably tithes to some druid or something too." He nonetheless pockets the card. "Still though, you never know when a contact elsewhere in the city might be helpful -- especially if we don't ask her to do something illegal." He turns back towards the van, "Shall we head back to the garage and see if Tymora has anything for us? Those obsidian attachments make me hungry for some more GCs"
May 20, 2016 2:50 am
Breech-a turns around and positions himself as an escort for Mack, given that Kessel's vehicle is a bit too fast for him to keep up with. "REMINDER: Assignments Pending," he intones, referring to the jobs Tymora had on their mission computer.
