Corco's Villa (IC)

"While I did like to notion of leading the knights to their quarry to do their own dirty work, I suppose it would be more reliable to intercede and attend the unveiling ourselves and secure the prisoner."

When Vassarious takes the Ice Orc form, are there any icy powers in the template he picked up as the base? That may come in handy in keeping this guy frozen...

"Good, I'll gather up the equipment and hopefully I can make it back in time."

V just has a suit of armour, and they were wearing it, right? I'll go fetch my rifle, cutlass, construction foam (enough to seal several doors shut), and explosives (enough to breach a whole in the side of an average building).

Halcyone goes back to the Cave to pick up her gear. Will she be doing anything to make it look less out-of-place?

Well I was kind of hoping the barrel of construction foam would resemble a barrel of something else. Maybe beer.

Failing that I'll look for a barrel to hide the foam barrel in. It should be denser than water, so maybe I could hide other items in there too?

Scrounging for barrels
3d6 <= 16
5 + 4 + 2 = 11 ... success

Would I have happened to have brought along anything like a backpack? Doesn't need to be huge, just enough to carry 30 lb. of explosives and gauss clips.

Does the rifle happen to have a folding stock? UT says no but maybe? How difficult would it be to stuff the rifle down a pant leg? Maybe it would be a little easier given that the leg isn't full of leg.

Are there rules about openly displaying weapons in public? Not sure if the cutlass would cause a problem.

Could I get some clothes that might do better to help conceal items underneath them, like a long and flowing dress? Maybe I could hold a rifle at the ready while walking around.

rolling IQ... 11... sure, you can have it look like a barrel. Or two barrels.

You brought a backpack. You had to walk through the door with all that stuff.

lets roll for it... 50% chance...No. Sorry. make sure to bring it next mission.

No, weapons go everywhere.

Or long and flowing robes... yeah, that will work. The two dominant biomes are desert and Artic, so bulking up on clothes works.

Let's go with a barrel.

Cool, I suppose it matches local backpacks (though I suppose a barrel and a backpack might be a bit much.

Right, so I'll need to make a Holdout roll at -4+X (where X is the clothing bonus) for the rifle. Can the easier to conceal minineedler just be lumped in under the same roll? A Nun's habit was a +5, so that's probably the ceiling.

Holdout MoS
-3d6 +11
- 1 - 6 - 5 + 11 = -1

Looks like a pretty bare success, then again I don't think I'm being searched.

Maybe an Acting roll to get across town? Trundling across town carrying a big ol' barrel, barely breaking a sweat might come off as a little odd.

Halcyone decides rolling the barrel will look most natural, and once into the more populated area of the cave, starts rolling the barrel rather than carrying it. Its still a fair distance. Where is Halcyone bringing the stuff?


As Halcyone is walking back, more orcs trickle into the granary... including one who seems to be the leader.

I suppose V told me about the granary? I'll get into the general area of there and then contact V for further instruction.

Yes, Vassarious slipped out and took orcish form to update you on the granary and returned to watch for... exactly this development!

The elemental watches over the group and examines the interaction to finish evaluating the social dynamic, as to the leader and his lieutenants and who might be harboring their prize.

[ericthered]

The leader listens to the groups discussion about unveiling their "prize". After about 15 minutes of back and forth, he interjects, and everyone falls into line: They will be exposing just the face of the prisoner, and they will be doing it tonight. He assigns them to come up with strategies for negotiating with it, down to the specific words.



It appears they are waiting to get the wording right, but also for an allied knight-shaman to show up to roll back the ice.



Halcyone arrives near the granary.
