Re: February 13th: Bonebreaker and Jailbreak

"Yeah, I've got them ready. Sounds like a plan to me. As for the gold..." Snarg sighs heavily and shrugs. "I've got 1 piece to my name. I doubt that's going to make anyone in there look the other way."

*As Z is glancing over the papers she addresses Fier.*

"Let me know where you're dropping him and when. If things go south, nice talk isn't going to be enough to get them out of the situation."

"I'll have him out of the wagon and away from the smoke, set up a wall around the perimeter of the wagon and guards, and hand him off to Tabran, whom I assume is going to be with us, yes?" Fierneceal looks to Tabran for confirmation.

"I've got 700 gold on me. If they aren't willing to let me slide through for that then they aren't going to."

*She waves off any attempts to give her gold with a hand.*

"If I use it you can pay me back when I get back."

by Fierneceal (Bellanai) Tue Apr 16, 2013 11:47 pm

Fierneceal puts a hand over her mouth and snickers. "I... don't have quite that much gold on me, but I'd be able to pay you back a fair bit."

"Oh, one more thing. As long as no one objects, I'll be wearing the Bonebreaker's stealth ring while I scout the wagons, until such time as I hand it off to Zeiss. I don't want to get caught any more than the rest of you."

by Snarg of Wildpaw Tue Apr 16, 2013 11:50 pm

"Yes, I don't see why you shouldn't."

by Fierneceal (Bellanai) Tue Apr 16, 2013 11:52 pm

"All right people," Fierneceal begins as she lets out a long full bodied stretch, loosening up her muscles, "let's do this!"

by Snarg of Wildpaw Tue Apr 16, 2013 11:56 pm

Snarg smacks a fist into his palm. "Ready! Let's go. Just give the signal when you want the smoke, Fier."

*Z had already turned and left the room. You're not quite sure at what point.*

by Z Wed Apr 17, 2013 12:47 am

*Some time passes and Z meets up with Tabran and the others, saying nothing. You assume that because they are saying nothing that everything went as planned. Z begins unwrapping their headband, letting her long hair down. She runs her fingers through it, getting the tangles out before rebraiding it into two long braids. Halfway down each braid she twists the hair and begins braiding it up the previous braided section, giving the impression that her hair is much shorter than it actually is.*

After the trip to the military compound, Fierneceal forges ahead toward the north wall where she suspects Zeiss will emerge from. She is careful to stay back from the road, 400 feet, and crouches low to partially obscure herself from idle glances off the road.

by Snarg of Wildpaw Wed Apr 17, 2013 12:53 am

Snarg moves casually around the area where the roads from the prison approach and meet. He observes the local sights and sounds while taking an occasional glance down the roads in the direction of the prison.

Fierneceal:
You believe you are relatively undetected, despite the glaring street lights at every corner. You manage to find a few shadows to hide within and a good spot to rest and wait. Fortunately the moon does not appear to be out and about tonight, making the contrast of the Magicite lighting to the shadows more significant.

Rest of the Group:
You manage to disperse so as to not look like a big crowd gathering at a suspicious location after nightfall, but still within visual range of one another. As usual the city is still bustling with activity, but there is a noticeable tension in the air.

Rest of the Group:
Nothing seems out of the ordinary at all as you await some further signal.

Fierneceal:
As you are resting against the building, keeping a watchful eye out, the beginnings of a large caravan of merchants starts calmly making its way through. It starts slow but soon the entire street is filled with the tradesmen, which from the look of it just came in via the West Gate and are hauling goods towards the Commerce District. You also now have no capacity to see the gate to the Military District.

Fierneceal:
You spot Zeiss' mind amidst the caravans, inside one of the cargo wagons. There's something wrong with him, like he's drugged or half asleep or something.

by Fierneceal (Bellanai) Wed Apr 17, 2013 1:25 am

Suddenly Zeiss hears a voice inside his head that sounds quite a lot like Fierneceal. "Zeiss. Wake up. We're coming for you. We're getting you out. Just listen closely, you'll hear when it's time."

by Zeiss Wed Apr 17, 2013 1:29 am

Zeiss hears Fierneceal talking to him about a rescue attempt.

"Great... I am hearing voices. Again."

by Z Wed Apr 17, 2013 1:30 am

*Z is walking amongst the crowd keeping a watchful eye around her. She heads back toward the military district entrance appearing to window shop while watching her surroundings in the window pane's reflections.*

by Archengeia Wed Apr 17, 2013 1:31 am

Fierneceal:
You are able to discern the relative location of which wagon Zeiss is in, but not the exact one. It is one of the ones closer to the south side of the road (on which you are currently at the north end), and moving with no hurry or rush along with the rest of the caravan.

by Fierneceal (Bellanai) Wed Apr 17, 2013 1:33 am

Fierneceal slowly ambles toward the south end of the merchant caravan, keeping a keen eye for anyone who stands straighter, walks taller, isn't as relaxed...

Spoiler:

by Archengeia Wed Apr 17, 2013 1:38 am

Fierneceal:
You pay very close attention to the various guards and other personnel, of which there are easily hundreds, moving through the caravan but cannot spot a single individual of military bearing, dress, figure, or stature in general, let alone anywhere near the general area you believe Zeiss is in. Further, having moved through the moving wagons (which gets you yelled at by the merchants driving them a few times), you can now tell there are three or so in the vicinity that could be his.

Fierneceal:
You are able to pinpoint the exact wagon carrying him. It is a fairly plain, wooden wagon being carried by two horses, with a bored looking merchantman driving it. You are quite impressed with the setup, if not for the mental missive you find it highly unlikely you ever would have been able to discern it from the rest.
