Dragged along like a prisoner, again, Zeiss decided to speak up this time.

"Hey! My parents taught me how to walk just fine, thank you."

Rory didn't listen. When they found themselves into the building, he decided to ask him what he was doing but couldn't put a word that the human was already pouring acid onto his chains.

"Wha- No no no! You didn't even wait for the key! To the left! A little more to the left! Don't kill my feet!"

"He won't find the key," Rory grumbled, blocking out the frantic advice. "We need to find something to get these manacles off...and what did I just say!?"

by Archengeia Sat Dec 27, 2014 10:32 pm

Rory does not find anything of note on the soldier other than the obvious; weapon and armor, both time consuming to remove. Fortunately for him his Concentration is sufficient to not remove pieces of Zeiss along with the melting steel, leaving Zeiss with new matching manacle ankle and wrist bracelets with small bits of steel attached where the chain used to be.

Higaide successfully stabilizes one of the soldiers, one Rory was beating on with his bludgeoning-damaging weapon. The others are too far gone from Advoc's attacks.

"Oh! by the Eight! I still have my feet! They're still there! Good good! Let's do the same for Javan and get out of here. If we manage to escape, I'll buy you a cask full of beer. And some manners to go with it."

"If Higgs over there gives us each back 4 minutes of our lives and this time leaves the 'soldiers' where they lie, I'll change my tune and sing one of them theater songs," Rory grumbled. Then, he snickered, "Hmm, don't suppose we could just carry the Fairy...? Nah. Here Zeiss, your turn. I'm sure this would be much less tricky for you."

Zeiss looks at the flask of acid, uncertain.

Zeiss realizes that he may try Deftness instead, though it will be slightly more difficult.

Zeiss uses the flask of acid on Javan's chains.

Zeiss manages an amazing 25 on his roll, which happens to barely avoid melting anything unpleasant from the crystalline Fairy's form.

We move as stealthily as possible towards the Tipsy Princess where we will try to find a vantage point at which we'll be able to hide and plan our next move.

For reference one cannot Take 10 or 20 on any action that involves failure being damaging or catastrophic. Zeiss actually rolled on his own for the previous roll, since he could not Take 10 on pouring acid over Javan's hands.

Realizing this and the need for agency, Zeiss tries to sneak towards the tavern assumably on his own, unless he's dragging the decidedly un-stealthy party with him. He is reasonably certain he gets there unseen as no one points or yells or otherwise, him having had the good idea to grab a traveler's cloak off a sleeping vagrant en route, and does not spot nor hear any otherwise uncommon commotion.

by Zeiss Fri Jan 02, 2015 10:29 pm

Zeiss scouts the tavern alone by observing it safely from a safe distance. He tries to determine how many soldiers are stationed there, what kind of equipment they possess, the number of entry points into the building itself and the possible escape routes he could use to lose the potential pursuers.

Zeiss arrives at the tavern and begins scouting it, nervous for he sees no visible nor obvious soldiers. Deciding on a whim to sneak closer he manages to nonchalantly walk by several windows, sneaking a glance inside, but similarly spies nothing out of the ordinary.

If there's nobody in the tavern, Zeiss will enter it and search for Rainbow and his equipment (including Javan's). If there are civilians present, he will try to find a way to sneak into the building and do the same thing. Or just walk right and pretend he has the right to be there if he feels these people are gullible enough to believe him.

In the event he does get the equipment back, he will immediately pet Rainbow for a few seconds and quickly check for two things: tracking devices and bombs (*cough* Metal Gear *cough*). If he finds any of these in their belongings, he will leave them there. Or if there's no urgency, he will place the bomb in one of the officers' bed and the tracking device in one of their pants. He will also change his cloak for the one he bought way back into Al-Erat and also slip on his bracelet of concealment. Then he will leave.

In short order Zeiss manages to find his gear, having to Diplomacy and Deception his way through the tavernkeep who (thanks to his usage of the Bracelet of Concealment) believes he is one of the soldiers and shows him to the room where they were keeping their belongings, and one rather scared Eevee. For the most part the equipment appears untampered with, with the sole exception of a single one of Zeiss' gold coins which he rolls way higher than he should have to discover is Woven with a tracking spell, similar to the one Kolson employed not too long ago.

by Zeiss Fri Jan 09, 2015 11:11 am

Zeiss smiles at his Eevee.

"Calm down Rainbow. We're going home."

After he made sure she recognized him, he takes the equipment back with him and leaves the tampered piece of gold in the room. He joins with the rest of the party and they find a place where they can change into their usual gear. When this is done, the party will go where they last saw the "tanks" and Zeiss will scout the area.

Rory pulled out a magical kit and, after making sense of the instructions, applied it to heal wounds he'd suffered in the ambush and rescue.

Except for the gear he's wearing, Zeiss gives the rest of his equipment and gold to Kolson so he can have a look at it and discover any other woven object.

by Essoje Fri Jan 09, 2015 1:39 pm

Javan, curious about Zeiss' reasons for checking the gear and gold, gives his own gear and gold to Kolson as well, on top of checking for elemental composition and such, looking for minute changes. Probably not going to find anything, but better safe than sorry.

Rory heals himself for 15, Higaide for 6. If Kolson insists upon checking all of the gear, it will take some time to do so.

Zeiss, for his part, heads towards where the tanks and soldiers should be to find them not there. There are signs here and there of them having been here recently... grooves in the roads, chunks of buildings knicked and battered away, tidbits of crates that used to hold supplies here and there.

by Kolson Sat Jan 10, 2015 2:06 am

Kolson will take the time to check the gear. Weaving +23

Can I spend my nonbattle AP to speed up the check?

by Zeiss Sat Jan 10, 2015 10:28 am

Zeiss will go back to the party and ask Kolson to check the gear he's also wearing.
