HF 042 Operation Setup

[2/3/2017 7:03:55 PM] Josh: Your investigation into the assassination of Zharn Dynne came to a...well not a head, exactly...but a thing, when you discovered a ninja attacking another noble, Zoryax, of the Draconic Empire.

[2/3/2017 7:04:28 PM] Josh: You captured him through...unorthodox means, and brought him to the guard's holding cell block.

[2/3/2017 7:05:23 PM] Josh: During the interview, you discovered that the ninja was actually a Githyanki warrior whom you knew by his human identity, Cunningham Rag reporter/photographer Herman Mansfield.

[2/3/2017 7:06:06 PM] Josh: You also learned about the origin of the blackmail letters.  They were originally sent by him under orders from his boss, Oserik, a mad, renegade Illithid in disguise.

[2/3/2017 7:06:36 PM] Josh: You guys went home, with a plan to come back and keep watch, in case a hit is made on Herman.

[2/3/2017 7:06:50 PM] Josh: Things were said, potions were made, naps were had.

[2/3/2017 7:07:15 PM] Josh: And we pick up a few hours later, coming in at around 9pm, when you were to go take over the night shift.

[2/3/2017 7:07:29 PM] Josh: So, you guys ride to the station?

[2/3/2017 7:08:06 PM] Quill: ((We do!))

[2/3/2017 7:08:14 PM | Edited 7:08:33 PM] Hank: ((Yes ))

[2/3/2017 7:08:28 PM] Josh: Ok.  Are you taking Clip and Clop with the caravan?

[2/3/2017 7:08:43 PM] \*\*\* Quill will drive. \*\*\*

[2/3/2017 7:08:59 PM] \*\*\* Hank will ride Kai. \*\*\*

[2/3/2017 7:09:15 PM] Josh: Ok, Quill drives the caravan, Hank takes Kai.

[2/3/2017 7:09:56 PM] Josh: You guys arrive to a smaller group of guards, only about four or five.  One of them Rune and Hank recognize as Tom from the crime scene.

[2/3/2017 7:10:37 PM] Josh: There is also a human guard at the desk, in place of Kobash.

[2/3/2017 7:10:39 PM] Leni: Hullo Tom.

[2/3/2017 7:10:46 PM] Josh: Tom smiles and salutes you.

[2/3/2017 7:10:57 PM] Josh: Tom: "Sir...Ma'am...Sir?"

[2/3/2017 7:11:19 PM] Quill: We're here for the babysitting duty.

[2/3/2017 7:12:51 PM] Josh: Tom: "Yes, we were told.  We have some preparations for you.  We left the other cells in the back empty, and we left two men right on the cell."

[2/3/2017 7:13:02 PM] Josh: Tom: "How would you like to proceed?"

[2/3/2017 7:14:06 PM] Quill: I think some of us should been in the empty cells.

[2/3/2017 7:14:19 PM] \*\*\* Rune nods. \*\*\*

[2/3/2017 7:15:25 PM] Josh: Tom nods.  "We can arrange that.  We have a few ragged cloaks and clothes as well, if you want to disguise yourselves.  Although, we left the torches low, so they'd have to really peer in to notice anyway."

[2/3/2017 7:15:53 PM] Rune: I should probably wear it. I'm kind of.... distinctive.

[2/3/2017 7:16:03 PM] Quill: How many empty cells are there?

[2/3/2017 7:16:18 PM] Josh: Tom: "Three"

[2/3/2017 7:16:27 PM] Quill: How big?

[2/3/2017 7:16:44 PM] Josh: Tom: "Approximately 20 feet by 20."

[2/3/2017 7:17:15 PM] Quill: Do you usually fill them up before moving someone to an empty one?

[2/3/2017 7:17:40 PM] Josh: Tom: "It depends."

[2/3/2017 7:18:14 PM] Josh: Tom: "...why?"

[2/3/2017 7:20:17 PM] Quill: Just trying to figure out what would look less suspicious, every cell with someone it it, or one or two cells empty.

[2/3/2017 7:21:33 PM] Josh: Tom: "Oh.  The cells are designed to hold up to two felons at a time.  We try and keep it to one per cell if possible.  Avoid more fights that way."

[2/3/2017 7:22:01 PM] Josh: Tom: "Will all of you wait back by the cell block?"

[2/3/2017 7:23:07 PM] Quill: I think a few of us will be in the cells.  Hank is a guard, so he can wander back and forth.

[2/3/2017 7:23:57 PM] Creed: "How different, visually, are the locks when they're locked and unlocked?"

[2/3/2017 7:24:03 PM] Josh: Another guard comes back with some ugly, filthy robes for disguises.

[2/3/2017 7:24:24 PM] Josh: Tom: "Um...they just always kind of look like locks, I guess."

[2/3/2017 7:24:41 PM] \*\*\* Creed looks over the locks \*\*\*

[2/3/2017 7:25:05 PM] Josh: A guard escorts you to the back to check the lock.

[2/3/2017 7:25:23 PM] \*\*\* Rune puts the robes on over her clothes. \*\*\*

[2/3/2017 7:26:06 PM] Josh: The robe covers a lot, it's basically a giant burlap sack.  The horns prove to be somewhat of an issue, as they poke out right through the top.  They are very tall and sharp.

[2/3/2017 7:26:17 PM] \*\*\* Quill does the same. \*\*\*

[2/3/2017 7:26:45 PM] Quill: Anna, can you be a rat or something small that wouldn't be out of place here?

[2/3/2017 7:27:31 PM] Josh: Anna nods.

[2/3/2017 7:27:51 PM] Rune: I'll just try to sit somewhere deep in the cell so I'm not too noticeable.

[2/3/2017 7:28:05 PM] Quill: They're dark anyway.  It'll be fine.

[2/3/2017 7:29:56 PM] \*\*\* Creed comes back, "The locks are well made, not impenetrable, and fairly simple. Fortunately from a distance, no one can tell if they're locked or not." \*\*\*

[2/3/2017 7:30:31 PM] Josh: Tom: "...pretty impenetrable to most crooks, I'd say."

[2/3/2017 7:30:37 PM] \*\*\* Rune nods. \*\*\*

[2/3/2017 7:30:53 PM] Josh: As this is going on, while the other guards are responding, the guy at the desk is just going about some paper work.

[2/3/2017 7:30:57 PM] Creed: "Five heavy tumblers? That's not very many."

[2/3/2017 7:32:32 PM] \*\*\* Quill eyes him. \*\*\*

[2/3/2017 7:32:50 PM] Creed: "In any case, we can keep the doors closed and pretend they're locked."

[2/3/2017 7:33:47 PM] \*\*\* Quill nods. \*\*\*

[2/3/2017 7:34:00 PM] Quill: All right, let's get into place, then.

[2/3/2017 7:35:10 PM] Josh: Ok, I have a map of the cell block up.

[2/3/2017 7:35:20 PM] Josh: Please move your token where you wanna be.

[2/3/2017 7:35:47 PM] Josh: Herman is in the cell with the line through it.

[2/3/2017 7:36:32 PM] Creed: (( Just as a recap, are the spaces between the cells bars or walls? ))

[2/3/2017 7:36:42 PM] Hank: ((Where is the entrance to the cell block?))

[2/3/2017 7:36:44 PM] Josh: Walls

[2/3/2017 7:37:17 PM] Josh: I added doors at the bottom.  That's the entrance.

[2/3/2017 7:37:39 PM] Josh: Anna is a rat, so she's around.  You're not sure where.

[2/3/2017 7:37:53 PM] Josh: ((I'll work that out when I need to, or when Anna arrives))

[2/3/2017 7:39:17 PM] Josh: Ok, so everyone is in a cell, but Hank and Anna.

[2/3/2017 7:40:06 PM] Josh: Hank, are you just hanging or going back and forth?

[2/3/2017 7:40:45 PM] Hank: ((Back and forth also keeping an eye on the front desk if possible.))

[2/3/2017 7:40:54 PM] Josh: (( Ok ))

[2/3/2017 7:41:08 PM] Josh: You guys set up.

[2/3/2017 7:41:19 PM] Creed: (( Do the doors open into the cell, or outwards? ))

[2/3/2017 7:41:35 PM | Edited 7:41:52 PM] Josh: (( out ))

[2/3/2017 7:41:50 PM] Creed: (( Gotcha, thanks. ))
