HF 044 Hank and Jamaros

[2/17/2017 9:20:50 PM] Hank: Once done eating I am going to stay in the main area in case anyone else comes by so they don't interrupt.

[2/17/2017 9:20:59 PM] Josh: Ok.

[2/17/2017 9:28:28 PM] Hank: If I look outside the building do I see anyone familiar heading here?

[2/17/2017 9:28:50 PM] Josh: Roll...investigation.

[2/17/2017 9:29:35 PM] Josh: You look around...you don't see anyone heading here...but there's an old man who's been sitting across the street for a while.

[2/17/2017 9:30:09 PM] Hank: Just staring at the building?

[2/17/2017 9:30:34 PM] Josh: He's trying to act like he's not, but he is.

[2/17/2017 9:31:07 PM] Hank: ((Do I recognize him or anything about him?))

[2/17/2017 9:31:36 PM] Josh: ...he seems familiar.

[2/17/2017 9:31:42 PM] Josh: But you can't place him.

[2/17/2017 9:32:29 PM] \*\*\* Hank will approach him with Kai hopefully cutting off any retreat. \*\*\*

[2/17/2017 9:32:38 PM] Hank: Good morning sir

[2/17/2017 9:33:18 PM] Josh: Old Man: "Hello, young fella.  Spare a coin for a poor soul resting his tired old bones?"

[2/17/2017 9:34:01 PM] Hank: Maybe if you tell me why you are so interested in that building over there.

[2/17/2017 9:34:48 PM] Josh: Old Man: "Oh, I have no interest in the building.  T'is just in my line of sight as I stare off and think of my...many travels."

[2/17/2017 9:35:22 PM] Hank: (( 19 insight ))

[2/17/2017 9:36:19 PM] Josh: ((Up close, you recognize this guy now...it's Jamaros))

[2/17/2017 9:37:04 PM] Hank: Do you have nothing better to do than follow us around?

[2/17/2017 9:38:03 PM] Josh: Jamaros sighs, he removes his fake beard and hat to reveal...a still slightly off Jamaros.  His skin is darker, and his eyes more green.

[2/17/2017 9:38:13 PM] Josh: Jamaros: "No, this is fairly important."

[2/17/2017 9:38:30 PM] Hank: What's going on?

[2/17/2017 9:40:55 PM] Josh: Jamaros: "...things...I learned some things that...I need something back."

[2/17/2017 9:41:29 PM] Hank: I am loving the specifics here.

[2/17/2017 9:42:09 PM] Josh: Jamaros: "...it turns out I was involved in this...and it was a big mistake."

[2/17/2017 9:43:33 PM] \*\*\* Hank will grab him and push him into a wall, how were you involved? \*\*\*

[2/17/2017 9:44:11 PM] Josh: Jamaros: "Ok, take it easy, big guy...I may have sold something to the wrong person and now it's come back to bite me in the place Pelor don't shine."

[2/17/2017 9:44:31 PM] Hank: Sold what... to who?

[2/17/2017 9:44:56 PM] Josh: Jamaros: "...any chance we can talk about this when you're good cop partner's around?"

[2/17/2017 9:45:57 PM] Hank: So you can charm your way out of an answer?

[2/17/2017 9:46:17 PM] Josh: Jamaros: "No, so I know I don't become a big red stain when I do."

[2/17/2017 9:46:49 PM] Hank: I promise not to kill you does that help.

[2/17/2017 9:47:01 PM] \*\*\* Hank will pull him into an alley \*\*\*

[2/17/2017 9:47:30 PM] Josh: Jamaros: "...And I get to keep all my body parts in tact?  ...cause, pulling me into an alleyway...not comforting."

[2/17/2017 9:48:21 PM] Hank: Fine you will also stay attached to all your body parts. Now answer the question.

[2/17/2017 9:48:55 PM] Josh: Jamaros: "...have you ever heard of the Orb of Dragonkind?"

[2/17/2017 9:49:36 PM] Hank: No, explain it to me.

[2/17/2017 9:50:32 PM] Josh: Jamaros: "It's an orb, about this big, with a sort of cloudy inside.  And the one who holds it...gains the ability to...charm any and all dragons around him."

[2/17/2017 9:50:46 PM] Josh: Jamaros: "It's what we call an artifact, very old, one of a kind."

[2/17/2017 9:51:07 PM] Hank: So you sold it to someone?

[2/17/2017 9:51:58 PM] Josh: Jamaros: "Yeah, had it shipped to some luxury client in the empire.  Dragonborn love this shit.  Old crap from "the glory days".  Made enough to buy a small island...hell, a medium sized one, even."

[2/17/2017 9:52:08 PM] Josh: Jamaros: "But it wasn't supposed to work."

[2/17/2017 9:52:47 PM] Hank: So how did you discover it did work?

[2/17/2017 9:53:27 PM] \*\*\* Hank will lightly slam him into a wall. \*\*\*

[2/17/2017 9:53:59 PM] Josh: Jamaros: "One of those feelers your better half asked me to put out.  Came back to me talking about seeing a blue dragon running around, eyes all glazed over, chanting the word "Hunt" over and over."

[2/17/2017 9:54:25 PM] Josh: Jamaros: "I looked into the effects and put two and two together."

[2/17/2017 9:54:39 PM] Hank: There's a rogue blue dragon running around?

[2/17/2017 9:54:55 PM] Hank: And it took you this long to get to it?

[2/17/2017 9:56:00 PM] Josh: Jamaros: "Hey, I remember two dragons going completely unnoticed at a fucking party."

[2/17/2017 9:56:22 PM] Hank: And that's everything?

[2/17/2017 9:56:40 PM] Josh: Jamaros: "...well...I was also hoping to negotiate for my artifact back."

[2/17/2017 9:56:50 PM] Hank: (( 17 insight))

[2/17/2017 9:57:10 PM] Hank: Oh yeah trust you with a dragon control item there's a laugh.

[2/17/2017 9:57:32 PM] \*\*\* Hank will drag him roughly to the front of the building. \*\*\*

[2/17/2017 9:57:54 PM] Josh: Jamaros: "I think I can--WHOA!  HEY!"

[2/17/2017 10:01:53 PM] Josh: You find Hank outside the building with Jamaros.

[2/17/2017 10:01:55 PM] \*\*\* Hank throws Jamaros down in front of the building. \*\*\*

[2/17/2017 10:02:13 PM] Josh: Jamaros: "OOF!  ...You treat all your friends like this?"

[2/17/2017 10:02:49 PM] Hank: So one he sold the orb of dragon control to jarquin.

[2/17/2017 10:02:50 PM] Quill: Hank, ease off.  What do you need, Jamaros?

[2/17/2017 10:03:01 PM] Quill: Yeah, I know, Jarqin just told us.

[2/17/2017 10:03:14 PM] Hank: Also apparently there is a mind controlled blue dragon still running around the city.

[2/17/2017 10:03:33 PM] Quill: So that would be the third.

[2/17/2017 10:03:39 PM] Hank: And he wants his orb back apparently.

[2/17/2017 10:03:49 PM] Quill: Nope.

[2/17/2017 10:04:01 PM] Hank: That's what I told him.

[2/17/2017 10:04:16 PM] Quill: Wait, an orb?  It's a rod.

[2/17/2017 10:04:44 PM] Josh: Jamaros: "It's not like it's hard to glue something to a stick."

[2/17/2017 10:04:50 PM] Hank: He called it an orb of dragon kind. But according to him it shouldn't have worked

[2/17/2017 10:05:12 PM] Quill: Well, it definitely did.  And we know you stole it from the Witch Hunters.

[2/17/2017 10:07:15 PM] \*\*\* Hank will pick jamaros up keeping ahold of him. \*\*\*

[2/17/2017 10:07:27 PM] Josh: Jamaros: "I prefer to think of it as me testing their security.  It was lacking."

[2/17/2017 10:07:56 PM] Hank: On what did you describe it as a rare one of a kind item?

[2/17/2017 10:07:58 PM] Quill: Point is, it wasn't yours, and seeing as how we had to fight three dragons because of it, and a lot of guards died because of it, it's ours now.

[2/17/2017 10:08:45 PM] Quill: What else did you get for him?  He mentioned a Wand, a Stone, and an Artifact.

[2/17/2017 10:09:07 PM] Josh: Jamaros: "...um...not sure what that means.  I can check my logs if we go back to my bar."

[2/17/2017 10:09:27 PM] Hank: Or you could tell us now.

[2/17/2017 10:09:51 PM] Josh: Jamaros: "It's not like I carry this around in my head.  I run a large enterprise."

[2/17/2017 10:10:03 PM] \*\*\* Hank will push him into a wall. \*\*\*

[2/17/2017 10:10:10 PM] Hank: You sure about that?

[2/17/2017 10:10:22 PM] Josh: Roll intimidation.

[2/17/2017 10:10:51 PM] Hank: (( 12 ))

[2/17/2017 10:11:19 PM] Josh: He looks at you, then over at Quill.  "Hey, buddy.  Care to pull on this guy's leash a bit?"

[2/17/2017 10:11:58 PM] \*\*\* Hank will slam him into the wall hard shoulder first. \*\*\*

[2/17/2017 10:12:02 PM] Quill: Hank, that's enough.  You're either not scaring him or you're taking out your frustrations.

[2/17/2017 10:12:29 PM] Quill: He's not going to cooperate if we give him a concussion.

[2/17/2017 10:12:39 PM | Edited 10:12:51 PM] Quill: And clearly he came here to cooperate, right?

[2/17/2017 10:13:22 PM] Josh: Jamaros: "Yeah."

[2/17/2017 10:13:48 PM] Hank: That's why you were in disguise then?

[2/17/2017 10:14:36 PM] Hank: Fine have it your way Quill.

[2/17/2017 10:15:25 PM] \*\*\* Hank will drop Jamaros a little harder than needed and back off. \*\*\*

[2/17/2017 10:15:44 PM] Josh: Jamaros: "...ok...glad we're getting somewhere."

[2/17/2017 10:15:53 PM] Quill: So what's this about a dragon.

[2/17/2017 10:16:24 PM] Hank: He said one of his guys came across a blue dragon saying hunt.

[2/17/2017 10:16:55 PM] Josh: Jamaros: "Yeah, sometime last night.  Not sure what he was hunting for, and my man wasn't eager to stick around and find out."

[2/17/2017 10:17:11 PM] Hank: Where was this in town?

[2/17/2017 10:17:54 PM] Josh: Jamaros: "Outer circle, by the guild hall."

[2/17/2017 10:19:25 PM] Quill: All right.  Tell you what, you head back home, figure out what you sold to Jarqin.

[2/17/2017 10:20:16 PM] Josh: Jamaros: "Hold on...I'm cooperating...but it would be nice to know that when my cooperation is done, my little part in this is struck from the proverbial record."

[2/17/2017 10:21:21 PM] Quill: I'll see what we can do.  As near as we can tell, you're not complicit as anything more than a peddler.

[2/17/2017 10:21:39 PM] Quill: We have definite people to go after who were directly involved here.

[2/17/2017 10:21:52 PM] Quill: I think they're going to get the lion's share of the attention.

[2/17/2017 10:22:11 PM] Hank: Oh and we should just trust the self proclaimed crime lord at his word?

[2/17/2017 10:22:30 PM] Quill: He stands to gain more by cooperating.

[2/17/2017 10:23:14 PM] Hank: Maybe but he is already more involved than he claimed to be two days ago.

[2/17/2017 10:23:38 PM] Josh: Jamaros: "I also know a lot more now than I did two days ago."

[2/17/2017 10:23:44 PM] Hank: Assassin kind of working for him. Just happened to sell the items used.

[2/17/2017 10:23:55 PM] Quill: He didn't know, these were just normal transactions at the time, I suspect.  HE didn't see how they came together.

[2/17/2017 10:24:18 PM] Josh: Jamaros: "Whoa.  Hold up.  What assassin?"

[2/17/2017 10:24:26 PM] Hank: Oh sure it is all one big coincidence, how interesting.

[2/17/2017 10:24:50 PM] \*\*\* Hank will grab him again. \*\*\*

[2/17/2017 10:25:08 PM] Josh: Jamaros: "Oh for--WHERE DO YOU THINK I'M GONNA GO!"

[2/17/2017 10:25:38 PM] Hank: The Assasain you sent Torment to lawyer for.

[2/17/2017 10:26:14 PM] Josh: Jamaros: "...oh yeah, he was working through us, wasn't he?"

[2/17/2017 10:26:18 PM] \*\*\* Hank will slam him back into the wall. \*\*\*

[2/17/2017 10:26:37 PM] Hank: Yes he was. Another little coincidence.

[2/17/2017 10:26:39 PM] Josh: Jamaros: "If nothing else, aren't you worried about hurting the wall?"

[2/17/2017 10:26:52 PM] Quill: I don't think he's directly involved beyond being a crime lord.

[2/17/2017 10:27:13 PM] Quill: He never saw the whole tapestry, he just wove little bits.

[2/17/2017 10:27:35 PM] Hank: The wall can take it and I only promised that you wouldn't lose limbs.

[2/17/2017 10:28:08 PM] Josh: Ok, Rune, you run out to see Hank repeatedly slamming Jamaros into a wall while Quill tries to talk him down.

[2/17/2017 10:28:21 PM] Rune: HANK!

[2/17/2017 10:28:47 PM] Josh: Jamaros: "Hi Rune.  You doing well?"

[2/17/2017 10:28:47 PM] Quill: [Friday, February 17, 2017 10:27 PM] Quill:

<<< And Jarqin didn't implicate him, when it would have been super easy to do so.

Like really, super easy.  You should really ease up on the crime.

Too many fingers in too many pies is gonna backfire on you.

[2/17/2017 10:28:57 PM] \*\*\* Rune tries to get between Hank and Jam. \*\*\*

[2/17/2017 10:29:17 PM] Josh: Hank, do you let her?  Cause if not, there's going to be more dice.

[2/17/2017 10:29:45 PM] Hank: ((No ))

[2/17/2017 10:30:05 PM] Josh: Ok.  Hank, roll STR.  Rune, I'll roll DEX for you.

[2/17/2017 10:30:07 PM] Rune: Hank, stop! What are you doing??

[2/17/2017 10:30:18 PM] Rune: ((Thanks!!))

[2/17/2017 10:30:38 PM] Hank: (( natural 1 ))

[2/17/2017 10:30:52 PM] Josh: Rune, you shove Hank away, and get between the two of them.

[2/17/2017 10:31:22 PM] Rune: What the heavens is going on?

[2/17/2017 10:31:40 PM] Quill: Hank hates crime, is what it comes down to.

[2/17/2017 10:32:02 PM] Rune: We're not about crime.

[2/17/2017 10:32:14 PM] Hank: Just having a conversation. I promised not to kill him.

[2/17/2017 10:32:19 PM] Rune: We're about Extraplanar incursions!

[2/17/2017 10:32:28 PM] Quill: ANd you slammed him into the wall over and over again.

[2/17/2017 10:32:43 PM] Rune: You can't TORTURE people, Hank!

[2/17/2017 10:33:02 PM] Rune: He's a SOURCE.

[2/17/2017 10:33:06 PM] Quill: Look, Jarqin said Darksbane was indirectly involved, not directly.

[2/17/2017 10:33:12 PM] Rune: He's HELPING us!

[2/17/2017 10:33:33 PM] Hank: And all the coincidences apparently mean nothing.

[2/17/2017 10:33:40 PM] Rune: What's WRONG with you? Are you even Hank? Is it the Marquis in there??

[2/17/2017 10:33:52 PM] Quill: ...that's what coincidence IS.

[2/17/2017 10:33:55 PM] Josh: Jamaros: "Stranger things have happened."

[2/17/2017 10:34:10 PM] Rune: No, they mean he's a criminal! Which we knew.

[2/17/2017 10:34:18 PM] Creed: "Hank, listen. This city is very well interconnected so the things that happen may seem to be very coincidental. Take a step back and take a breather and think about this."

[2/17/2017 10:34:58 PM] Hank: Fine.

[2/17/2017 10:35:19 PM] Quill: AND we have bigger problems, like ANOTHER dragon.

[2/17/2017 10:35:30 PM] Rune: Literally bigger!

[2/17/2017 10:35:42 PM] Hank: So we should go deal with that then.

[2/17/2017 10:36:29 PM] Quill: Yes.

[2/17/2017 10:36:29 PM] \*\*\* Rune turns slightly to Jam. "I'm so sorry, I was trying to keep a boy from summoning Asmodeus in there." \*\*\*

[2/17/2017 10:36:50 PM] Rune: Quill, can you heal poor Jam, please.

[2/17/2017 10:37:16 PM] \*\*\* Quill eyes him, ((Does he seem to need healing?)) \*\*\*

[2/17/2017 10:37:23 PM] Josh: Jamaros: "That also sounds important."

[2/17/2017 10:37:31 PM] Josh: ((Not really))

[2/17/2017 10:37:32 PM] Hank: He should be fine I didn't hurt him that much.

[2/17/2017 10:37:43 PM] Rune: Yes, well, we'll find out.

[2/17/2017 10:38:16 PM] Rune: You rammed him into the wall over and over! We'll be lucky if he doesn't sue us!

[2/17/2017 10:38:34 PM] Quill: He's just a bit roughed up.  And if there's a dragon I'd rather save the spells for the dragon.  No offense.

[2/17/2017 10:38:44 PM] Rune: Besides, it's rude to hurt people you know socially.

[2/17/2017 10:38:45 PM] Quill: I can't fix your lapel.

[2/17/2017 10:39:26 PM] Hank: So next time should I wait for one of you to discuss things?

[2/17/2017 10:39:32 PM] Josh: Jamaros: "I think I'll be fine, thank you."

[2/17/2017 10:39:45 PM] Rune: Or use your words like a grown person!

[2/17/2017 10:39:49 PM] Josh: Jamaros: "Yes, please, do that.  That would be great."

[2/17/2017 10:40:01 PM] Quill: With Jamaros, who you have some apparently irrational hatred for?  YES.

[2/17/2017 10:40:07 PM] \*\*\* Rune goes off into an angry-sounding rant in infernal. \*\*\*

[2/17/2017 10:40:51 PM] Josh: ((Creed understands all of it, so she knows just how angry Rune is))

[2/17/2017 10:41:01 PM] Hank: Oh sure call it irrational.

[2/17/2017 10:41:43 PM] Josh: Jamaros: "...can you go chase a dragon now, so I can go get that info you want?"

[2/17/2017 10:41:48 PM] Quill: That's what it looks like to us, because you haven't explained it.  Or talked about it.

[2/17/2017 10:41:57 PM] Quill: And yes, thank you.  Guild Hall you said?

[2/17/2017 10:42:00 PM] Rune: IT IS. Uneeds he ran over your puppy as a baby IT IS!

[2/17/2017 10:42:32 PM] Josh: Jamaros: "Guild Hall, yes."

[2/17/2017 10:42:35 PM] Hank: Let's not talk about it now let's head after the dragon.

[2/17/2017 10:42:40 PM] Rune: ((Unless. Sorry, phone is phone.))

[2/17/2017 10:43:07 PM] Rune: I'm so sorry this happened, Jamaros. It won't happen again.

[2/17/2017 10:43:21 PM] Rune: How do we know where it is?

[2/17/2017 10:43:29 PM] Hank: Let's not make promises that may not be kept.

[2/17/2017 10:43:33 PM] Josh: Jamaros: "That's where my man last saw it."

[2/17/2017 10:43:51 PM] Rune: It won't

[2/17/2017 10:43:58 PM] Quill: It's a place to start, anyway.

[2/17/2017 10:44:13 PM] Josh: Jamaros: "Good luck.  No hard feelings."

[2/17/2017 10:44:20 PM] Josh: Jamaros starts walking off.

[2/17/2017 10:44:25 PM] \*\*\* Quill checks Rune's belt for the rod. \*\*\*

[2/17/2017 10:44:44 PM] Josh: It's still there.

[2/17/2017 10:44:50 PM] Quill: ((k.))
