It is panning about 15 degrees on either side from the SE corner it normally faces.

"I could try to make it go haywire," says Jericho. "Won't stop it from recording, but it might become erratic enough that it masks our identities."
Nov 16, 2019 5:25 pm
"Affirmative. Caution: erratic camera operation may prompt investigation."
OOC:
I was also considering of casting Haywire, but it's concentration, so I'd have to drop Pass Without Trace.

Jericho chances a glance back the other way, where the group witnessed the shotgun battle. "I think they have other things on their mind right now."

Using his free hand, Jericho takes his wand and draws arcane symbols in the air, culminating in a jab towards the camera.
Nov 17, 2019 5:37 pm
The camera doesn't seem affected at first, continuing to swivel back and forth slowly. And then it starts moving faster, progressively picking up speed and jutting sideways like it's developed a nervous twitch. It starts completing a pass in 2 seconds, then 1, now only .5; while you can't view the feed from where you stand, by now it must be quite blurry from all the movement.

"AAHHGHK!" Everyone can hear the telltale sound of a pained scream, and anyone looking see's one of the hobgoblins go down as the Drakons rip into him.

Now what?

"Let's go," urges Jericho, moving the hobgoblin away from the battle. "Where does this lead?"
Nov 18, 2019 5:49 pm
P.R.O.W.L. peers through the door. Wouldn't do to walk right into another security camera.

With great urgency everyone is able to make it past the fray without complication. "Up, to the lab." The hobgoblin moves without incident. "You guys sure are determined to die eh'? He throws in a bit of gallows humor, looking back towards the southern door.

P.R.O.W.L. looks intently and discovers...a narrow hallway, with a slick ladder leading up to a sort of attic scuttle.
OOC:
About 40 seconds left on Haywyre.

In this case we will assume everyone can sneak into the room and down the cramped hallway should they decide to.

@Cavejohnson Door has a lock, nice big one in fact, although common sense says the hobgoblins fighting have keys. Could always prop a chair against the door.

OOC:
Just thinking the draconian might have a problem getting through. So yea lets try to lock the door.
Boulder goes and shuts the door after everyones in the room. "T-t-t that could have been worse." Looking a bit more relieved now the door is shut and the possible threat is locked out.

He double checks to make sure the door is secured and locked before moving on.

Jericho nods, and proceeds towards the lab. "Let's try to get you up this ladder," he says to the hobgoblin, hoping for assistance from the team. "It'll probably hurt, but it's better than leaving you behind."

OOC:
Alright bad news: no post tonight as I have to remake the map (the map editor I use has gone through some changes which have rendered my current saved map useless, at least I can add some nifty new features.

In the meantime: This is another designated important door and a sneak mission, so who wants to go first/do you do anything to snoop on the floor above you? There is basically a metal ceiling door at the top of the ladder. Perception/spells/stealth as you see fit.

"Let me use my second sight to look beyond the door," Cole said. He closed his eyes and focused, creating a psionic sensor on the other side of the ceiling door.
OOC:
Casting Clairvoyance, starting with sight.

Boulder looks between the door and the group. Visible amounts of fear can be seen on his face as he ganders between the 2.
Dec 10, 2019 1:49 am
Employing his fantastical second sight, Cole now see's a rather small room. "Boring" is the best way to describe it, with slick marble flooring and awfully familiar looking concrete walls. There is a rather sizable Hobgoblin typing away at a computer, occasionally staring at (or smacking) the keyboard with what looks to be frustration. His desk is well, littered: there is food wrappings, an overstuffed trashcan, and several weapons (notably a massive sword, several pistols, and an assault rifle propped up against the desk). If it wasn't for the hobgoblin's massive size you would almost have trouble seeing anything over the clutter from your current position.

Perhaps more interestingly is the peculiar...orb in the center of the room, hiding behind a thick barrier of glass and entrapped by metal beams hold in place plates which cover most of the object. It seems to be emanating a faint orange glow.

"A huge hobgoblin is upstairs writing behind a desk with a small armory near him. And something in the center of the room... an orange orb encased in glass and metal bars," Cole telepathically relays to the others on his team. "I'll try listening now instead of looking."
OOC:
Switching Clairvoyance from Sight to Hearing.

OOC:
Make an intelligence check at +2 for linguistics (small boost due to jack of all trades), he's speaking in goblin.

Using what he'd picked up of the goblin language over the years, Cole tried to make out what the hobgoblin was saying.

"Perhaps he is unaware of what's going on," suggests Jericho. He asks the wounded hobgoblin, "Who's inside?"

The injured hobgoblin looks up, back to Jericho, up again, and one last time at Jericho. "That's...well...my boss?" He gives a sort of apologetic smile, silently asking for your forgiveness for withholding this information.
