Waterbrick Down Posted November 10, 2014 Author Posted November 10, 2014 "Please, even that makes it sound more glorious than it is. Most of my time is spent either at the bottom of a mug full of cheap ale or alone. Hell, this is the first night I've been out on the town in months. Nothing as miraculous as the life of a celebrity..." "I'll drink to that. Here's to no attachments except to our glasses!" The elf downs his drink in one gulp. "So any of the girls?..." "Erm, sorry." Benji looks at him strangely and moves on, walking up the stairs to observe if anything new was going on. Benji heads upstairs, of the three rooms he's hears talking from the first, moaning from the second, and what sounds like gold being spilled on a table from the third.
Flare Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 Benji goes to the third room's door and knocks.
UsernameMDM Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 Benji goes to the third room's door and knocks. Hoke walks up to Benji and jingles the set of keys "Need in?" Hoke inserts the keys until he finds the one that works and opens the door.
Flare Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 "Where'd you come from!?" Benji asks bewildered at the sudden and mystical appearance of the knight.
UsernameMDM Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 "Where'd you come from!?" Benji asks bewildered at the sudden and mystical appearance of the knight. Hoke winks and grins.
Flare Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 Hoke winks and grins. "What have you been up to?" Benji whispers silently, words reaching only Hoke's ears.
K-Nut Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 Althior shrugs, "You mean here? I'm a bit 'out of shape' when it comes to women, so to speak. What about you? You frequent this place enough that you probably have a 'favorite'," He shifts his gaze upwards towards his companions near the doorway, then shifts his gaze towards Hoples. "Go make sure they're not in trouble, would you?"
UsernameMDM Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 "What have you been up to?" Benji whispers silently, words reaching only Hoke's ears. "Working my magic," Hoke says as he continues to try the keys on the door.

You frequent this place enough that you probably have a 'favorite'," He shifts his gaze upwards towards his companions near the doorway, then shifts his gaze towards Hoples. "Go make sure they're not in trouble, would you?" "Oh, I've got a right good looking lady. Ms. Eliza Pennypinch, she seems to busy right now with another customer I'd guess. She doesn't seem to be around." "Sure, be careful with him. He's one of the few eyewitnesses we have." "Working my magic," Hoke says as he continues to try the keys on the door. To Hoke's frustration, none of the keys seem to work and the door remains locked. Perhaps Hoke is missing something. "Um, any trouble gentlemen?"
UsernameMDM Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 Looking at the lock opening and the shape of the keys, Hoke uses the middle key backwards.
Waterbrick Down Posted November 10, 2014 Author Posted November 10, 2014 Looking at the lock opening and the shape of the keys, Hoke uses the middle key backwards. The middle key doesn't seem to fit, backwards.
UsernameMDM Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 Looking at the lock opening and the shape of the keys, Hoke uses the bottom key backwards.

She doesn't seem to be around." "You'll have to point her out to me if she comes by. Gotta make sure my friend is being treated right!" He grins, then looks around, "So, you know the rest of the people here? They don't seem to look like the common folk you find around Eubric. Hell, I never thought Hinckwells would even realize this place existed with their noses stuck up so high,"

He grins, then looks around, "So, you know the rest of the people here? They don't seem to look like the common folk you find around Eubric. Hell, I never thought Hinckwells would even realize this place existed with their noses stuck up so high," "Oh The Lotus is quite the establishment, purveyor of some of the best companions in Eubric. Master Hinckwell over there's been here a few times. Bollins is a regular, so's the Cyclops upstairs, I think he might be a member of the Watch or something or another." Looking at the lock opening and the shape of the keys, Hoke uses the bottom key backwards. Hoke turns the key and the door unlocks, the Mystic Knight steps into the room Benji quick behind followed by Hoples. Inside the duo note a Metasimian and Werewolf in fine attire, across a table full of gold and a wanted poster of Ulric, head of the Wolfgang, two rather unsavory individuals appear to be studying a map of the Eubric sewers. A fairy dances in the background. "I'm sorry, wrong room." Edited November 11, 2014 by Waterbrick Down
UsernameMDM Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 (edited) "Good evening gentlemen, ma'am" "I'm sorry, wrong room." "I've got the keys. Looks like I've got the right room." Hoke jingles the keys and drops them into his pouch. Edited November 11, 2014 by UsernameMDM
Flare Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 "What is this, a conspiracy meeting against the Wolfgang? I thought you lot had been assimilated by Ulric."
UsernameMDM Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 "What is this, a conspiracy meeting against the Wolfgang? I thought you lot had been assimilated by Ulric." Hoke whispers in Benji's ear, "Being in the employ of the Town Watch, technically, at this moment, you are in a conspiracy against the Wolfgang."
UsernameMDM Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 Hoke uses Diplomacy. "Gentlemen, it seems we may be birds of a feather although we hunt separate prey. Would any of you know anything useful about the recent events involving property damage and violence carried out by a rather larger someone or something?"
Flare Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 Hoke whispers in Benji's ear, "Being in the employ of the Town Watch, technically, at this moment, you are in a conspiracy against the Wolfgang." Whispering back, "If these men are against the wolfgang then I will not oppose them. But if they are with them, I am their brother."
UsernameMDM Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 Whispering back, "If these men are against the wolfgang then I will not oppose them. But if they are with them, I am their brother." Hoke whispers back while keeping an eye on the 5 individuals in front of them, "They are not the target. You can oppose them later. We have business to attend to first." Hoke smiles at the occupants of the room. "If they happen to get in the way..." Hoke whispers with a shrug.
Waterbrick Down Posted November 11, 2014 Author Posted November 11, 2014 The Fairy pauses at the mention of a monster for a moment, but then continues her dance. "They've seen to much..." "Nonsense, Wetnose. Master Knight, some of my employees, have heard rumors of this terror that is walking the streets at night as of late, but it is of little concern to us. As for the use of the room, you'll find from the Madame that we have paid the dues required to utilize this space for the rest of the evening. Now if you'll excuse us, this is a private meeting."
Flare Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 Benji looks at the fairy, and asks her with a sense of importance. "Miss, what do you know of this beast lurking the streets? I feel that you may have some knowledge in this matter. We need your help." Turning to the assorted lot of thugs he adds, "If we can be of no assistance to you, we will depart, however our mission is to find this beast and once your fairy friend answers we will not bother you."
UsernameMDM Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 Hoke uses Diplomacy. "I have permission from Madame Moira to conduct this investigation in her establishment. I do apologize for the intrusion gentlemen. We shall question this lady for but a moment and then be on our way."
K-Nut Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 "Oh The Lotus is quite the establishment, purveyor of some of the best companions in Eubric.

Old Patricia's gone so paranoid she can't trust her own people to do her job," He chuckles "Tell me, sir, What is your stance on the Wolfgang? Just out of mere curiosity. I've heard people talk about their uprising and what-not. Don't really know what to think of it myself. Being a frequenter of this tavern, I don't know if you've heard anything about what they're up to,"

Turning to the assorted lot of thugs he adds, "If we can be of no assistance to you, we will depart, however our mission is to find this beast and once your fairy friend answers we will not bother you." The Fairy tentatively descends and meets with Hoke and Benji near the entrance of the room. "It was very late, I was coming back here after a job when it happened. It was... it was... awful." The Fairy sheds a few tears and is visibly shaken. "It came at me, it's huge bulk blotted out the moon and then... then... it spoke." The Fairy breaks down in sobs. "Now look what you've done. You've ruined a perfectly good evening, sodding heroes." "Please, more watchmen here? Old Patricia's gone so paranoid she can't trust her own people to do her job," He chuckles "Tell me, sir, What is your stance on the Wolfgang? Just out of mere curiosity.

Being a frequenter of this tavern, I don't know if you've heard anything about what they're up to," "I tend not to get myself mixed up in all these politics. Me, if the Wolfgang wants to act all civil and such, then they need to pull their act together and stop behaving like criminals. There's talk of the group doing some good work in the Hovels, don't know much about that myself. All I know is that this city ain't one for changing quickly, word is some of the local crime gangs are looking into joining up with the houses to make sure things stay the same."
