Re: Corco's Villa (IC)
Well, Halcyone will need a way to provoke the sympathizers into saying something that could be considered suspicious. Or some other way to determine their true sympathies.
The officers is mildly impressed with the shooting "Yes, Hand to Hand... and then we'll have you observe a crowd and analyze it for potential threats to a high profile individual." The Hand to hand challenge is against a young soldier who seems surprised at the request, but happily brings up his guard against Halcyone. "We're pulling our punches, yes?"

Vassarious will try and be patient and give the diplomatic approach a fair shake and accept their niceties while he awaits an audience with someone who can provide real intelligence on the situation in the empire and with its Emperor.

The colonel is shocked at how quickly it all ended. "Ok... you can handle yourself in hand to hand combat..." He takes her to a dusty market square where a bunch of people, mostly civilians, are listening to a live speaker give a lively speech. Its being recorded. takes her to one corner, gives her a chair to stand on, and asks her to evaluate the crowd for threats. Quote:
Vassarious is fed food, some of which is exquisite, and some of which can only have survived to this advanced society through nostalgia and historical significance. After the tour is over, chamberlain Gadialtus lead him back to the "Chamber of the Otherworld". "It seems they are still discussing what to do. How can I help you? You may need to stay overnight... As you can see, we have already added a couch... actually two. One is made for our hawk troops, who have wings... and one is a more stately place to rest." "I have received a request for you though: The Imperial Governor wishes to know if you have the power to wake the emperor"

The speaker is not in actual danger, so Halcyone has to make do looking for potential trouble rather than actual trouble. She finds a couple of threats, and passes them on to the colonel, along with why that threat is minimal ("That man could be hiding a weapon, and he's positioned well for a shot... but you can see a small boy hovering around him) The Colonel is quite impressed by the results. "By the way, you got a promotion for the suspected spy: she turned in the documents to us. And I can see the problematic sympathies you're talking about. Well done. I've made some notes about your performance tonight. I suspect someone will be very happy to have you on security duty." "One more personal question, if I may: Do you think the emperor will side with us or with them?" Quote:
They march Vassarious to the tomb of Maximus, moving in precise movements, and playing a jaunty tune. The tomb is farther back in the complex than Vassarious suspected, and a touch smaller than expected. Vassarious gets to look at the intricate maze of pillars surrounding the center, and the strangley curved arches: the key to the places magic. A stone box encases the body, carved with depictions of heroic deeds. An 11th priest, who was walking with Vassarious, leads him up to the tomb. The soldiers post up all around her: Vassarious can tell the intent is to destroy her if she tries to hurt the emperor. Th 11th priest turns the Vassarious: "Radiant one, we deeply need our emperor. If you can wake him, please do so."
