After patching up Joe, Chuck puts the empty first aid kit back into his pack. He'll load it up before the next chaotic mission.

"Well, I hope we don't need more fixing up. Joe's injuries were bad enough I had to use our remaining first aid supplies. Let's see where that pinkie who poked his head in went too. Maybe that will get us to the stone." Chuck heads to the door and cracks the door open to see if pinkie is waiting to ambush them.

There's a whole crowd of pink people in baggy white robes and trousers! About a dozen or more, standing in the bright sunlight on a stone floor under an open, very blue sky. Two orange stone buildings of blocky shape frame the crowd and a third orange stone building looms behind them. There is a distinct smell of water.

One of the pink people gestures toward the door but it's not apparent whether that is responsive to Chuck cracking it open or just part of an ongoing conversation.

Joe carefully follows Chuck to the door. Seeing the crowd of pinkies he waves back at the one gesturing... hopefully in a friendly way. He discreetly turns his head back to the others "Anyone sees the rock?"

OOC:

It seems the pinkies want the same thing as our characters. Maybe we can get them to help us find the stone and blow it up?

Janus limps to the door and begins to plot out a direction based on the stone.

Janus says to Chuck as he passes, "I've got one more kit in my bag, if anything should... should ... if you need it. "

OOC:

What is the emotional vibe from the crowd? Curiosity? Angry mob? Scared masses?
What direction does it tell Janus to go?

The stone pulls up and to the right, kind of toward a corner of the big squarish orange building to the right of the crowd.

The crowd look at you all emerging from the door. They briefly talk to each other, then one of them steps forward a couple of steps. "Hey," she says uncertainly, "what ... what's going on?"

Two pink people with crossbows approach from the left. They're carrying the crossbows over their shoulders on slings, unloaded. They see you, and the crowd, and hurry their walk to kind of get between you and the crowd. They leave space between you all and the pink woman who spoke to you. They're looking at you inquisitively. They have not readied their crossbows.

"We are a FEMA team investigating as well. Until we know more can you please clear out this crowd? What is that building over there?"
Janus steps out then turns to Joe and Chuck and gives them a "well-here-we-go-follow-my-lead" sort of look. Then he walks with as much presumed authority as he can muster despite the aches from the bite. He adjusts the weight of his heavy equipment in his backpack and heads toward the orange building.

He hopes using what can only be considered by them as technical jargon (FEMA) will impress upon them his authority and the importance of the situation. He fears they might see the worry turning to dread on his face, not sure what sort of panic it would rouse. But he wants to get to that orange building ASAP and deal with the crowds after they can blow that rock.

OOC:

I'm wondering if maybe we say Lili would step out and help manage the crowd and such?
I'm not seeing much reason to roll with an advantage-- I think the FEMA gambit is just enough to make the attempt possible but no advantage.

Moving forward from the library doors shifts your perspective. The stone-floored plaza is a ledge, and a windy one, high up. The other three buildings are separated from this ledge by open air, traversed by slender arches of steps. Glancing back you see that the library building has a steep pyramidal roof; the building to the right has a domed roof; the one straight ahead has six turrets, one at each corner; and the building to the left has a very shallow conical roof.

You hear and smell water flowing. The sound of it rises from under your feet.

There is no parapet to this ledge where you stand. It is a square about fifty feet to a side. The crowd are roughly in the middle of the plaza.

"Should we get the other pinkies back?" Joe whispers to Chuck as Janus plays the big boss man. "I guess they may want them back... they look like a big pack."

Do any of the masses say anything when Janus asked, "What is that building over there?"

Ak I missed that sorry

The woman who greeted you glances over her shoulder. "Oh - that's the citadel," she says casually.

One of the two men with crossbows says, "We would like to seal this incursion. What do you know about these things?"

"Did she say incursion?" Joe looks surprised at Janus "This smells right"

Chuck looks back at Joe, "Yeah, I hope these pinkies are friendlier than the last." He rubs his shoulder which still hurts like hell.

Chucks mood lifts a little when he hears the Pinkies ask about closing the incursion. He nudges Joe, then says "Hell yeah, let's find this thing quickly and close it up. We don't have much time."

Janus eyes the man with the crossbow. He wonders how much he can trust these people, as he gets a weird authoritarian vibe. He decides to keep it vague, no need to have a FEMA analyst chewing him a new one for releasing classified info to an incursion intelligence.

"We know they are dangerous if left unchecked. Pardon us, we need to get to that Citadel."

Then Janus leads the group forward over that precarious path where the necklace leads him, giving all indication he is not interested in stalling or having a chat.

Joe follows Janus lead, though he discreetly stops by one of the pinkies quickly whispering "There's 3 of your pack on our side, but those mad dogs got one"
