PROWL seems not to register Cole's tone. Joining the others studying the video feed, the robot follows Cole's lead and compares the patrons' body language with those in its database of mood indicators.

Hypothesis: Possible glamour-canceling field at target location.

Rolls

Insight - (1d20+7)

(4) + 7 = 11

Jericho nods. "Observations lends to that hypothesis," he says. "Even if there isn't any field, the fact that everyone in the room does not feel the need for glamour means that someone or something is set to detect such masks. This would stop any infiltration attempt by those in disguise, which means the idea of a scout team is no longer viable.

"I suggest we bring Ulgrik and a few weapons with us and pose as the suppliers,"
he continues. "Ulgrik lends credibility to our presence, if he can vouch for our team being the new hires. That is, assuming he's willing to come with us."

"Why would that be a wise idea.?" Dr Spidermoon asks innocently

Jericho begins arranging the camera feeds into some semblance of order. "We need to get past them and find our way to Jakor, and we'll arouse less suspicion if it seems like we're supposed to be there," he says. "I'll try to see what our path would look like based on these cameras, starting from the staff entrance."
OOC:
As stated, if it's possible I'd like to organize both restaurant cameras and these C_* cameras to see if we can form a map.

"I'm not sure if Ulgrik will risk his neck going with us... or if he could keep up a pretense even if he did. I'm averse to using too much magical coercion in general but especially if there may be people or things there able to detect it."

Cole put his thoughts together regarding what he saw on the footage.

"As for in there... Some people are just drinking and socializing. Some are nervous and on edge. We might be able to get in under the guise of the 'just drinking' crowd."

OOC:
Damn I forgot to show the entrance in the tavern, for now its in the south part of it (although thinking about it now it doesn't seem too important)

I didn't display the number of guards underground because that could change depending on what y'all decide on. Currently both halls have 2 guards each, the stockroom has 4 you can see, and the lab has about 5 individuals working in it, although you aren't certain they are combat trained.

Dr. Spidermoon stays silent fiddiling with the tassels and other things about the area.

With a decision more or less made our agents gather their field equipment, administer their Glamour, and mentally prepare to head out. In the garage you are tossed the keys to your van, now goblin-free. As you enter the van a knock on the window gets your attention, lowering the window reveals the sight of Isabelle holding an envelope. "A word of advice: don't let anyone find out you're with Lock. Only thing criminals hate more then cops are Agents. Good luck out there." She says with a wink, tossing the parcel before walking away. Inside you find an assortment of bills adding up to $120 with a small note. for mission use only.

The clock reads 2:15 when you find some street parking across the street from the venue, completed the journey in the sweltering summer heat, made bearable thanks to air conditioning. Made of brick and wood, it's a far cry from the simple diner of the old man. A red neon sign reads Burger & Brew complete with a stylized illustration of a massive burger paired with a mug of beer. Large double doors rest underneath: clearly the front entrance. Windows throughout the front show a few patrons dining inside, the sight is enough for some to ponder what constitutes an ethical use of mission funds.

The street is sparely populated, between the pedestrians and patrons you can only spot Jane's & Joe's. An alley lies to east of the building, which you suspect leads to the back entrance.

With just the short rest it's only 2:15pm~ Unless everyone wants to take a LR and move the scene to the evening.

Cool i must have missed some time lapse somewhere :D
Dr. Spidermoon puts down his book. "Oh, are we hear so quickly?"
Jan 30, 2019 12:39 pm
"Yes, we're here. Play it cool."
Jan 30, 2019 5:08 pm
Jericho takes one last look at the camera feed on his smart phone to ensure things haven't changed dramatically inside the restaurant. He nods to Rodrigo to signal his readiness.
Jan 30, 2019 5:50 pm
"I can always talk with you telepathically if necessary. Shall I take the lead to get us through the door?"

The question was largely rhetorical but he asked it nonetheless.

Surprisingly, Rodrigo steps aside for Cole. "I think you should take the lead throughout. Your particular talents will serve us well here."

"Is the side door metal or wood? And is there a microphone and speaker or would someone have to actually come to the door to talk with us? If it's solid metal or there's a speaker, I'll have to rely solely on my charm to get us in, no mind reading."
Feb 10, 2019 5:30 am
"Side door it is. Come on. Let's see if we can sell PROWL."

If the others are ready, Cole will go to the side door.
OOC:
If you all want, I'll cast Detect Thoughts but I'd prefer to try and get in without magic. Who knows what else we'll face inside?

Standing behind Cole, Rodrigo nods. "I'm ready."

Jericho gathers one end of the crate of weapons they've brought along and shifts it to the back of the van. He crouches next to the crate and remains in the van, trying for a clear view of the door.
