"Copy that. Thanks, P." Felix changes destination on his GPS navigation and updates Logan.

"We've got a location on your dad, or at least on the guys who took him. There were four guys in the video but we don't know if there are more. You ready for a fight?"
Oct 8, 2022 7:24 am
Fight you say. They took father like a kitten. I hope you know what you are doing. Logan swings his machete in the air performing an attack maneuver father taught him. He has been teaching me to fight for a reason after all. Let's not waste any more time. David is hardly having a good time as we speak

"I'm d4iving as fast as I can. But like you said, we can't just come in hot without a plan. And for that, we need intel. Hopefully, my friend can provide some, but you and I might have to do a bit of surveillance first."

Felix and Logan hop in there car, enter the warehouse address and head out on the road. Walter gathering his gear does the same.
The weather changes from the light drizzling of rain to a torrent down pour. Thunder slowly rolls across the sky and lightning flickers everywhere.

The drive takes 45 mins down a few side road before turning off onto some onto a winding muddy dirt roads. With Felix and Logan in the lead Walter pulls in behind. The down pour is starting to make the road kinds of rough. After a drive the road turns and it crest at the top of a small hill. Down below in a valley a flash of lightning reveals and old dilapidated looking warehouse.

Felix's and Walter's both start ringing. It is Piper with a group call...
"Hey. I would pull over before you get much closer. This warehouse is really strange..."
Oct 8, 2022 3:59 pm
"Go ahead, Piper. Logan and I are listening. And I assume that's your contact in the car behind us?"
Oct 9, 2022 1:25 pm
"Yeah. That is Walter. He in on the call also... " She pauses and sighs and begins rattling off information. "This warehouse doesn't exist. I can not find and records of it at all. No deeds, floorplans, date of construction, no purchase of land, Nothing... It is not connected to any of city utilities, gas, water, electric. Nothing. I don't think I would have even found it if I wasn't tracking the kidnappers... Google Maps has nothing there, a bunch of other satellite show nothing also. I think I was just lucky found the right one at the right time. Even now the image of the warehouse is glitchy. So what I am saying is I got nothing... You will be going in blind..."
Oct 9, 2022 5:09 pm
Felix has of course put the call on speaker so Logan can also hear.

"Alright, it looks like we need to surveil the place the old-fashioned way. I saw we head in on foot. Logan's our outdoorsman here. What's your area of expertise, Walter?"
Oct 10, 2022 6:58 am
Who could have removed it from google maps? Logan picks his Binoculars and steps out of the car. He can't resist urge to spot any AVTs from the video. But soon he start observing surrounding - trying to figure out best path toward the warehouse that would make them not visible from drones and from warehouse (i.e. any woods/bushes would be best).

"It has been a while since I got into a fire fight, if you know what I mean. But I'm sure I can handle both lethal and non-lethal neutralising of these scumbags as needed. I'm also knowledgeable in the ways of the fey. I suggest we also study the nature of the warehouse too. It might be trapped with enchantments, considering that we may be dealing with professionals of the supernatural. Eh, sorry, do you take offense to that term, Mr Logan?"

Walter speaks with a German accent.
OOC:
Shall I roll for Arcane?
Oct 10, 2022 11:40 am
@GreyWord (Roll perception with adv please.)

@RoAries (You can roll Arcana but at Disadvantage. You are a good distance away from the warehouse and it is dark and rainy)
Oct 10, 2022 11:51 am
Logan takes time to watch surroundings through the binoculars

Rolls

Perception (advantage) - (2d20H1+3)

(817) + 3 = 20

Oct 11, 2022 12:05 am
Peering through the binoculars you search around the Warehouse.
You spy a sets of muddy and overlapping tire ruts heading into the main closed garage door of the warehouse.
You see no security cameras or from what you see any other means of Security.
No guards, hounds, or drones flying about...
You see a closed single metal door a few feet away from the main garage door.

The warehouse itself is about 150ft away from your current in a small valley. Trees and bushes surround the warehouse until about 30ft. After the 30ft of brush is clear open muddy grass.

OOC:
retcon the comment about knowing Logan.
Walter squints at the warehouse, looking for anything strange, like odd graffiti and such.

Rolls

Arcane roll at disadvantage - (1d20+5, 1d20+5)

1d20+5 : (5) + 5 = 10

1d20+5 : (12) + 5 = 17

Besides being old and rusty and dented the warehouse has no signs if graffiti. You don't gleam any hints of magic or magical forces at work.

Felix arches an eyebrow as Walter speaks so casually of fey, enchantments, and the supernatural. That sort of tinfoil hat talk gets you funny looks. That sort of talk got him in trouble at the bureau. He gives Logan a sideways glance. If the lad doesn't volunteer the fact of his or David's lycanthropy, Felix won't be the one to mention it to the older gentleman.

"I can't tell from here if there's a backdoor. We'll probably have to take a closer look."
OOC:
Unless the other two guys have other ideas, and assuming the terrain will allow, I say we approach from the side. Felix will circle round back to scout.

Logan choose to ignore talking about fey or supernatural concentrating on the mission.
Agree. Using the only door next to the gates as the last resort. Let's move the bushes and take a look around for any windows, rotten walls, ventilation holes and such. he picks battery flare and few chemical light sticks. Arms with machete and hatchet, but leaves bow and heavy backpack in the car.
I don't like absence of any security measures he states if they have the resources to hide place from all the maps... he chose not to finish the statement
Oct 11, 2022 2:10 pm
Felix nods in agreement. Something's not right here. "Let's move. Watch your backs. Remember, these guys are Atlas, not some dumb thugs."
Oct 12, 2022 12:23 am
Walter follows, having the other two take the lead.
Oct 12, 2022 10:56 pm
The group grabs their gear and gets out of the cars into the evening thunderstorm.
You head to the edge of the forest and start circling around the warehouse.

Your clothes quickly get soaked and your boots start sticking in the mud...
OOC:
Perception, stealth, and Acrobatic OR Athletics Check
Oct 13, 2022 2:56 am
The older man makes his way through the rain. Atleast his leather coat is waterproof, but it doesn't help much from being soaked underneath. He keeps his eyes keenly on the warehouse. Despite his age, he can still stealth and move somewhat gracefully. This was his training to be like an elf. Walter carefully steps through the forest with his new companions.
