[Game Thread] Unfortunate Implications

[Fragmaster01]

You make for the Market exit, to the South. It's remarkably easy to move around full-tilt now, without any issues of getting out of breath. Gym class has its methods all wrong.

You're in a large stone hallway, about 20 feet across and 30 to the curved ceiling above. In front of you is the Undermarket district, wherein all manner of things can be found(pilfered). There's a small guard post on the right side of the hall, in front of a staircase leading down into the district proper. There's a human guard loitering about near the post, gesticulating with the air. Most likely he's prattling with someone inside the post.

 

Guard - Human Martial
Wearing: Longsword, Chain Vest, Guard Mantle
Level Estimate: 1-2

OOC You guys now have 1 Chaos Point, with which to wear with pride. You can plop it in the Action Points box on your sheet. You can spend these to augment your actions(exceptions: can't improve complex or mental skill checks). Spending chaos points rapid fire can have awkward side effects.

Sadie looks around the area, hopeful that her Father or Mother are in sight. She doesn't see them immediatly though and sighs pitifully. She turns to look behind her, scared that the guards will be coming to catch them. She leans in to the back of the one who is leading her for comfort.

[Cash]

ooc so the stair case is leading into undermarket right?

[Cash]

Feeling Sadie lean into him makes Marros think that going though the undermarket probably wouldn't be the best option. Hmmm if only we could get past those guards. If I was a guard this would be easy. Hehe me a guard,....no focus we need to find a way out. Meanwhile while Marros is thinking about being a guard, he unknowingly changes into a guard.

ooc Casting disguise self i can only do this 1/day

As the boy changes before his eyes, Matthias blinks & asks in a hushed whisper: "Marros, is that still you? What happened to you?" It then hits him how useful this might be to sneak past. He asks the girls in a whisper: "Can you do any tricks like that? I'm not sure whether his disguise alone will be enough."

Lighting It's a moderate light level. Very ambient, not all that shadowy, but not too bright either. The staircase leads into the market yes.

Marros: Well, that was odd. It's been a long time since you've pulled that one off, and the detail on the clothing seems a lot more refined than you usually pull off. It's blue, with a cute little mantle bearing the city emblem on it. Too bad the sword and chainmail isn't real, you'd love to be able to sell them. Still, best not to interact with the fake clothes too much, your fingers go right through them.

You're currently looking much like yourself, except a few years older, more healthy looking skin, and without the odd ears. Very human(icky), and a little confused. Rookie guard appearance, ho!

"Not really" Threnody says, her smile fading a little. "In fact, outside of this...glitter moving around and perhaps pretty rainbows, there isn't much I can do to help out."

Just then she turns around behind her, apparently hearing something that isn't there. "Did you hear that? She whispers.

Haunted Threnody is haunted and often hears things that aren't there among other odd things happening. In fact, anytime she uses any of her spells known she gets from that curse, it will most likely be her spirit doing it and her reacting to it, or more her asking it for help. As the game progresses I may figure out who it is or why it is here. Right now she doesn't know it exists.

Yeah its me Well this will be useful Marros decides to see if the guards will let him and the others pass through and if needed play on the fact that sadie is lost

[Moridain]

Sadie shakes her head "I-I don't know"

The rat ponders for a moment, "You know, I suddenly think I can teach you some spells. Want me to teach you how to make him stand really still for a while?"

The young girl looks at the rat curiously "I can do that?"

"Yep." he moves up to her ear and starts to whisper about magical runes, sounds and tricks to cast a spell it refers to as 'Dark Binding'.

Sadie turns to mattios "I can make him stand still if you want. I-I was always told to be nice to guards though. Guards Are Our Friends." She repeats solemnly.

[dbaque]

Matthias responds to Sadie's rat-inspired idea (?): "We probably don't want to lead with that, especially since there is another guard with him. Besides, we want to give them fewer reasons to remember us." Turning to Guard Marros, "Well, you seem to know what you're doing. We'll follow your lead," glancing at Sadie, then Threnody, "If the guards get unfriendly, then we may need your stand-still trick & your ...um... glitter." Matthias follows after Marros, keeping his hood up & trying to look very inconspicuously monkish (not that monks are that inconspicuous).

[Cash]

"Well alright lets do this." Marros begins to walk up to the guard

[Moridain]

Sadie nods, but then frowns "Can't I just ask them to help me look for my mom and dad? I mean... while they are helping me with that you guys can slip past, right?"

She sees Marros head off and falls silent. It would be a second try, anyway.

A sudden thought "Wait, Simmon? But you are a girl, and Simmon is a boys name."

"... Thats cos I am a boy." The rat replies in confusion.

Alarmed, she turns to the boy rat in shock "B-but you slept in my bed!" she cries out in horror.

She may be a bit confused about what is good and bad right now, but she knows for a fact that sleeping in bed with boys was a Bad Thing. Her older sister got caught Sleeping In Bed With Boys and was told off a great deal. A few months later she was given a baby though, so it didn't seem like that bad a punishment...

When she had asked for a baby as well, she had gotten funny looks. And fluffy.

... Simmon. Not fluffy.

"I think its okay with rats..." says Simmon, obviously thinking hard on the matter.

[Fragmaster01]

Marros: The guard, hearing your approach, looks down at you. "What're you wantin? Isn't 2 yet. Tell cap'n to stop throwing the fresh fish at me, I took the last rookie." He does not want to deal with your sass.

Actually on escort duty sir got three lost kids. Says their parents went down here. kids got lost while looking at toys and stuff through the windows

[Elucidus]

Threnody merely waves to the guard as Marros talks to the guard about the lost kids.
