Rp - Gavel's Darkest Hour- Act Two Begins [7/7]

"I don't care how you look just lead the way"

 

I try to give her a reassuring smile

 

Very reassured

 

See below...

As you turn towards her, you see behind you a creature with an orange face (@Bluescreen), wearing cloth armour and carrying an oversized battle hammer. Several people in the crowd turn around and stare at it, clearly suspicious.
It speaks, its voice somewhere between grunting and talking. "Nice wand. Who you?"

She puts on a rather high-class voice, a bit higher than her own and contorts her face slightly and ties her hair into a bun. She's still easily recognisable to you, but it is a fairly good disguise - it could work on the guards.
"No, I mean, could I pass for someone else? Do you think they'll recognise me?"

Elimut unlocks the gate and swings it open. He seems much more calm and diplomatic than he was last night.
"I'll take it from here. Guards, you are dismissed. Hels Gahn, Rinea Taerak, come with me. We have much to discuss."
The guards turn back and split up into the city. One whispers "Good luck" as he passes.

 

I buy myself a beer. Or a simlar brew.

 

Oh
so thats a gert
"Hi, I'm chunchunmaru, a student at the grinifez academy. and you?"

 

"Probably not"

 

Retribute the diplomatic tone, but slightly less calm.
"I was told we needed to take care of the Summit. Why?" Scabbard the sword for now.

So you're going inside? After you just saw your targets leaving, and one of them just spoke to you? In any case, Dogun drinks have a tendency to burn non-Doguns to death from the inside out, so I wouldn't recommend it.

"Excellent. You teleport down to the riverbank - I'll meet you at the South Gate. I have faith in you."
She jumps over to the other side of the roof and neatly slides down the building into a courtyard, strolling purposefully towards a door. A guard walks by and completely ignores her. You look over at the river below - it's a long way, and given your last attempt at teleportation it feels pretty daunting.

(@Kyubi & Kylin)
He comes out of the gate, places a hand on each of your shoulders and steers you towards the Palace.
"Well, mostly to give testimonies. Doushoins' assassin has yet to be found or identified. I have to admit, I was surprised when I saw you with her last night. She did refuse the offer of Cinfras Guard protection, but I expected private bodyguards, which you clearly are not. I have looked up on you since, spoken to Togak, and what I found intrigued me greatly."

 

I look around for guards seeing if it would be possible to jump down and air prison

 

Wait what has been going on, I’m unsynced

________________________________

I mean when did they leave

Oh well.

”Dogoj, wondering if beer or close things are here.”
Short pause
”Got in by killing dwarf and selling dwarf’s armor.”

 

Water down the surprise into simply lifting and eyebrow.
"Is that so? Care to share what you found?"

 

They left just before you arrived and are now entering the crowd. Several people are staring at you.

You're speaking to @WynnChairman, please reply to his message or tag him.

There are no guards but there's a pretty much straight drop into the gorge and no clear way across, even if you used wind prison at the bottom (though you could probably take a detour upstream to get out, it would take a while). There is a ledge, but it's tiny and timing landing above it would be extremely risky.

 

Even if it's risky I'll try it

 

What better way to blend in than to ignore an opporturnity to do your mission?

@WynnChairman

 

I stare at him for a second, confused
"um i do believe we have drinks but im not sure if it's safe for non Doguns to drink. anyways, what brings you to manifis? (ooc right? or is this an outpost thing lol)"

 

”Hm. So no villager come here as nothing non-dogun. I come because Ahms is bad.”
Short pause
”Ground shatters and shakes. Few days ago rehrr-lo-vuton attempt. Sord sent on mission for help. Now Sord dead. What now?”

 

"um"
again i look at his confused
"well some doguns are prepared to help out the ahms..."
i glance at Bantira to see if she can tell what the Gert is thinking

 

You can no longer see her - she seems to have been swept up by the crowd.

@Kyubi & Kylin
He leads you over the bridge and into the courtyard, locking the gate behind him.
"Not as much as I would hope. I was hoping to learn more in person - hence why I'm escorting you. I believe Togak would also like to speak to Rinea in particular, or 'Rin Aera', as you've taken to calling yourself. Firstly - how did you know the High Delegate? I found no record of you ever having met her - or each other, for that matter."

 

*pauses*
"Rinea?"
Look around for mana fluctuations and hidden people cause I'm paranoid af rn.
