Seann shakes his head, "We can't move our base until we reestablish contact with Indigo. After we've regrouped though, that is an excellent idea."

Okay, so they go back to the hotel. Douglas will reload his revolver (in some secluded place out of doors; he doesn't know what a smoke detector is, but he knows melting lead gives off an not-so-pleasant smoke--one to avoid breathing in).

Douglas finds a reasonably well ventilated nook in an alleyway behind the hotel. It smells a bit odd (a combination of urine, cigarettes and cannabis), and there's some graffiti with some peculiar spelling mistakes in it, so odd looking stuff and possible burn marks won't be noticed. Douglas now has a fully loaded revolver.

Asking at the hotel's reception desk will yield a scornful expression and the names and addresses of a couple of hotels nearby. Depending on how far afield you want to move to avoid being followed, these may or may not be suitable; the scornful expression suggests that the quality might be a bit low as well, and serves you right for not appreciating what this hotel has to offer.

There's nothing else immediately in the hotel that would suggest another suitable base of operations aside from the map that you were given by Ben.

[OOC: we may move on without Indi and kludge as necessary later on when he shows up.]

Douglas goes inside, to where the others are. "How long are we going to wait for this guy?"

Douglas lowers his sunglasses. "Look where?"

For reference, Indi's last known location was this hotel, and his intended destination was "a busy place where he can discreetly observe passerby".

In a world where members of the group has Area Knowledge (local) or similar (but something more than just the map) I might have allowed that to be a pre-defined location. At present I'll have to rule that Indi didn't know where he was going and so couldn't give more than a vague direction that he was heading.

"To we have a picture off him?"

OCC: If so Charles will go down into the lobby and ask if anyone of the staff noticed him leave and in what direction. If not, then Charles will give a description off him and see if anyone noticed when he left.

IC: "We see what the staff in the lobby says, otherwise we must see if we can find this busy place. Most likely some shopping street or main street. Iīm open for ideas, anyone here know this place well enough or examined mapīs?"

Then Charles looks around the room, does it look as if Indi may have checked a map or something similar? Left any clues to his destination in the room?

Douglas adjusts his new pants. They don't fit right. Too tight in all the wrong places, and loose in all the right ones.

"I think we should just wait around here. Maybe get some food. I'm starting to get that little headache I get when I haven't had my coffee."

That's not as major a complaint as he makes it out to be (he's been brewing the same grounds every day for a few months), but he doesn't feel like going back outside in such a dangerous place with no idea where they're going.

"For all we know, he could be dead. I bet they have a newspaper in a town this size. We can check that tomorrow and see if they found a body. If he doesn't turn up tonight."
