Heroica RPG - Quest #145: Rescue My People!

[Sandy]

"Very well. We shall check the perimeters of the house with Sir Cree, while you and Kheyli stay put."

Quintessa motioned Cree to follow her as she started walking around the farmhouse.

[Palathadric]

Cree and Quintessa make their way around the small farmhouse. There are quite a number of windows around the house, but all of the other ones appear firmly shuttered. At the front of the house, their is a small, somewhat flimsy-looking gate, leading to the patio. The door is closed, obviously.

What would the heroes like to do.

[Mencot]

Keliim while waiting keeps a look out that Is there any movement inside the house.

But after he gets a bit bored of waiting, so he try on The tricksters mask to see what it actually does!

[Palathadric]

Kellim can't see any movement, but he does see a light on in at the opposite side of the house from where they are.

Kellim tries on the Mask. He can't see any difference, but those around who once though they saw Kellim the Barbarian standing before them now see Kellin the Babushka.

[Mencot]

Feeling no diffrence, Keliim turns to Cheapy and Khelyi,"Hmm, naa I think th's thing is just bullsh*t... What, what art th' two o' ye starin' at?!

[Sandy]

"We were supposed to wait until the farmer and his wife left the house, but there is obviously someone still inside", Quintessa said to Cree. "Maybe We should check to see if it's the house owners. You wait for Us here, Sir Cree."

Quintessa took a basket of muffins from her apron-of-holding. "We are glad we did a lot of baking before embarking on this quest..."

She then knocked on the front door. "Hello! Is there anybody inside? Fresh muffins for sale!"

[Palathadric]

"Muffins!" calls a voice from inside.

"Hush!" comes a reply.

Kellim, Kheyli, and Cheapy see a figure of a girl rise from the sofa in front of the fireplace.

Quintessa soon sees her approach the door.

"Sorry, we don't need any muffins."

Quintessa soon sees her approach the door.

"Sorry, we don't need any muffins."

"Oh, my sincerest apologies", Quintessa says, trying her best to portray a humble country crone. "Are you home alone, uh... wee lass?"

[Palathadric]

"I'm not supposed to talk to strangers."

"Emily, who's there?" calls a high-pitched voice.

"Just a saleswoman."

"Emily, who's there?" calls a high-pitched voice.

While waiting on Cheaky´s reply back on ideas, Keliim gets a odd feeling of the second voice coming from inside the house. "Th't voice! It sound affa familiar, Kheyli do ye think it sounds familiar? Because if it ist who I thinkst it ist th'n Quintessa 'nd Cree couldst be in danger tae get exposed."

Keliim says to Cheapy and Kheyli still wearing his cowl: "Stay here, I will go over to the frontside tae warn them but... Kheyli be ready."

Then he removes the cowl and starts moving carefuly but quickly to the frontside of the house.

"We need tae warn them somehow, What do ye think Kheyli we should do?"

[K-Nut]

"I think we should wait and see what Quintessa can do. If she can distract both people in the home, it may be easier to get in ourselves,"

[Mencot]

"Aye, tootally truu, lets wait 'nd see.

But tell me, what do ye thinks 'bout th't other voice... Does it sound familiar tae ye too?"

"Emily, who's there?" calls a high-pitched voice.

"Just a saleswoman."

"Is that your mother, dear?" Quintessa asked as sweetly and innocently as she could. "Perhaps she is interested in these muffins. Could you get her to the door for me?"

[Palathadric]

"Uh, no...my mother isn't here. And she bakes quite well herself, so she probably wouldn't buy anything."

Edited March 11, 2016 by Palathadric

[Pedguin]

Cree hides so that the girl won't see him.

[Mencot]

Keliim carefuly sneak up closer to the window so that he could get a better look if he would see who or what the other figure is!

[Sandy]

"Uh, no...my mother isn't here. And she bakes quite well herself, so she probably wouldn't buy anything."

"So is that your sister, then?"

[K-Nut]

"Aye, tootally truu, lets wait 'nd see.

But tell me, what do ye thinks 'bout th't other voice... Does it sound familiar tae ye too?"

"Not really," Kheyli shrugs. "Maybe I missed something, though,"

[Palathadric]

Keliim carefuly sneak up closer to the window so that he could get a better look if he would see who or what the other figure is!

Kellim looks through the living room/dining room window and sees no one there. A small table is in front of the window and behind it there is the sofa in front of the fireplace.

"So is that your sister, then?"

"No...no, it's not. Why are you asking all these questions?"

[Sandy]

"No...no, it's not. Why are you asking all these questions?"

Quintessa tapped the side of her nose.

"We elderly women are curious by nature, dear. Hmmm... Do your parents know you have invited a guest over during their absence?"

[Palathadric]

The girl looks confused.

"A guest? I didn't invite a guest. Oh, you mean, you? I didn't invite you either though. You just came yourself, and it's probably best that you leave. Do you know my parents then?"

[Mencot]

The big man continue to look and now if he would see the statue or something similar to what they are after. He also says to Kheyli, "I thinkst ye should get inside nowst, I don´t see anyone! But be careful."

Kellim does not see any statuette. The living/dining room has one door on the opposite wall from the window, but to the far left. Through the door, he can see Emilie conversing through the front door with Quintessa.
