Corco's Villa (IC)

"That might be. So... what are you, and ... what are these allies I can't imagine? Are there more of you? You could kill me right now, so a good two dozen of you might be able to turn the tide.... but why do you want to help us? Why aren't you siding with the rest of the emperor's creations?"

[the_matrix_walker]

"My vaguery is not something I can banish here, you must accompany me. The need for the utmost secrecy is paramount until we can travel to a place of security. Then all can be made clear to you. For now, I can at least assure you, I am no creation of the Emporer."

[ericthered]

"Where is this place of secrecy? lead on!"

[the_matrix_walker]

Vassarious picks up the pen and uses the non-writing end to point to a place on the map a bit closer to the caves than they are. "I have one other to collect. Meet me here in three hours..." (Vassarious will say more or less time depending on how far the final General is) "And we will make the last leg of the journey together."

And Vassarious will then go get the last General and bring them back to rendevous and proceed into the caves together.

It's a five hour plane ride each way....

Okay, I guess I'll do them one at a time then and bring this one in and go get the other so there is no chance of them telling the wrong person while I'm running between them...

OK. Let's continue. I'll tell Petracus I need to head to the bathroom to freshen up. Hopefully he doesn't go to check his phone, or at least this phone. Then I'll slip into a corner out of sight to call the PR firm.

Then I'll head back over and slip the phone onto the floor with my foot arm.

I think that about covers getting the address, so next would be calling up all the maid services.

Randicol is surprised at the request to go to the cave, but with some assurance that its necessary for secrecy, he agrees to go, and journeys to the front near the caves.

Go ahead and do so. What Item will you claim to have lost, and what will you do if the office offers to contact the maid themselves and pass on the information?

(( If we take a step back... can Randicol send word to the remaining General to meet us en-route, rather than having to do every invitation separately?))

I'll just assume it's a gimmie as to eventually contacting the correct office.

...

OK, instead of making up a story that I lost something, I'll say I have something belonging to a maid at the address. I'll pick out a generic enough name so that I'll probably get a result. I'll try to be vague and evasive as to what it is, "it's a garment", "I don't want to embarrass her further", etc. And I'll try to emphasize that I want to apologize for the way I was reacting, "I was a bit drunk", etc.
