UsernameMDM Posted October 26, 2014 Posted October 26, 2014 The footprints head toward the center of Eubric. "Wigglepike's Theater is that way, Ennoc's temple, the marketplace, practically the entire trade district of the city." "The theatre you say? Madame, you said you and your husband are on the way to the theatre? What is tonight's performance?"
K-Nut Posted October 26, 2014 Posted October 26, 2014 "The theatre you say? Madame, you said you and your husband are on the way to the theatre? What is tonight's performance?" "Please, not another Night at the Theatre. One mystical play was enough for me," He turns to Benji, "I would try tracking the thing down if I were you. Even if you only get so far, we could find some more leads by knowing where it's going,"
UsernameMDM Posted October 26, 2014 Posted October 26, 2014 Hoke scrapes up some of the blood into one of the vials he just drained. Perhaps Guts or another alchemist can make some use out of it. He walks to Torc and scoops her up with the rest of her meal onto his shoulders.

When the animal comes, he will ask it if knows anything about the destruction of the wall. A white rabbit cautiously makes its way over to Benji. [Hello, hello, hello. It was a big big big ugly rabbit with long paws, no fur at all, no fur at all, no fur at all. It tore through that wall like butter, like butter, like butter. Anything else yellow rabbit would like to know, would like to know, would like to know?] "The theatre you say? Madame, you said you and your husband are on the way to the theatre? What is tonight's performance?" "Madame Splatterfly, if I remember the posters correctly. Starring Barlin Mando and a Ms. Harriet S." Edited October 27, 2014 by Waterbrick Down
Flare Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 Benji whispers kindly to the rabbit. Stroking his ears, he asks one more thing before standing back up. "Where did this monster come from? Was it like any other animal that is in the zoo?" After the rabbit answers him he turns to his fellows and winks. "Follow me." Benji uses his Beast Warrior abilities to track down the monster or whatever the monster turned into, with the smells and blood left behind to use as a guide. He tries to move slowly enough that his fellow heroes can keep up with him.

Never seen anything like it, anything like it, anything like it.] Benji starts on the trail of monster eventually leads the Party to a small courtyard behind Wigglepike's theater and next to the Hinkwell Villa. A small fountain trickles quietly in one corner, Benji notes there is a slight tint of red to the water. The smell the beastwarrior had been tracking goes cold.

UsernameMDM Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 Hoke inspect the fountain, the water, and the immediate surrounding area. "Excellent job Carvenhall! Do either of you gentlemen have a Magic Compass? Perhaps it could be of use if this trail goes cold." Hoke looks about, trying to see if anyone was around them.
Flare Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 Benji, annoyed that the foul beast had outwitted them by going through the water of the fountain, pulls out his magic compass and tries to determine the location of their prey. He also investigates the area for evidence. "You don't have any detective like suggestions, eh Woples? It seems my beastly abilities beat brains anyday, eh!"
UsernameMDM Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 "You don't have any detective like suggestions, eh Woples? It seems my beastly abilities beat brains anyday, eh!" "If he did we wouldn't be on this job," Hoke whispers with a chuckle.
K-Nut Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 Althior surveyed the environment. He hadn't been down this way since his last encounter with the watch. He looks for any doors or nearby buildings that the courtyard has access to.

He also investigates the area for evidence. "You don't have any detective like suggestions, eh Woples? It seems my beastly abilities beat brains anyday, eh!" As Benji has no idea exactly what they are looking for, his compass swings wildly in circles. "If I could handle this on my own Mr. Carvenhall, I wouldn't have sought out the help of your organization." Althior surveyed the environment. He hadn't been down this way since his last encounter with the watch. He looks for any doors or nearby buildings that the courtyard has access to. Althior notes that the courtyard is semi-open to the street running behind the theater and would be easily accessible to anyone. There is only one door that leads to the back of the theater.

K-Nut Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 "Might as well try the theater while we're here. We can talk to some witnesses from the last attack and see if they heard anything back here," Althior examines the weapons next to the door, then makes his way towards the fountain and moves the wheel, trying to see what is under it, if anything.

Althior finds the weapons are merely props, moving the wheel the necromancer simply finds more discarded stage equipment.
