Flare Posted June 2, 2012 Posted June 2, 2012 (edited) Benji motions to the two other questers to move out of ear-range of the captain, and then some. He starts to whisper: "Wait, how do we know that the dear captain isn't the traitor!? She's the only one who would know where we are going! And she is a girl, like Violetta (at least I think so )... I am wondering if she might be Violetta! Her bad attitude might be a result of staying up too late robbing people! " "I think we should do one of two things: Option one.... Ask her to come with us and help us guard (then if she was Violetta she wouldn't be able to steal it without revealing that she really is Violetta, and then she'd have to kill us). Option two is that we openly confront her. She's already pretty pissed off with us, I don't think we could get her any more upset." Edited June 2, 2012 by Flare
Masked Builder Posted June 2, 2012 Posted June 2, 2012 Wispering so only the other heroes can hear; "Either it's her or Kayla, I say we take both of them along with us tonight."
Flare Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 (edited) "Good idea, although I doubt its Kayla because she seems to be guarded very well, but thats true, I didn't think of that, and if Kayla is Violetta, then she'd be able to escape anyways." Edited June 3, 2012 by Flare
Sandy Posted June 3, 2012 Author Posted June 3, 2012 "So, what kind of a plan have you come up with? Can we return to the barracks now to interrogate my watchmen? If there's really a mole among them, we have to act subtle or he will slip through our fingers."
K-Nut Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 "So, what kind of a plan have you come up with? Can we return to the barracks now to interrogate my watchmen? If there's really a mole among them, we have to act subtle or he will slip through our fingers." "The Barracks seem to be our only option as of now."
Sandy Posted June 3, 2012 Author Posted June 3, 2012 Back at the barracks, Captain Patricia summons a row call. Much to her chagrin, she learns that three of her men have gone missing, alongside the Wolfgang prisoner Kayla. "Dammit! It seems my predecessor Ubert Lilbelly, who was demoted into a lieutenant, still had a bone to pick. He and two other watchmen, Constables Longjon and Llowlyfe, both of whom you met earlier, have vanished with the Wolfgang wench. They must've hidden underground, but if we keep a watch over the Ji Pei Palace, they might turn up there. I don't think Violetta will leave her job unfinished. Can I trust you to apprehend these traitors, catch the burglar and return the stolen heirlooms? Just say if this is getting too much for you, and I'll turn to someone else for help."
Masked Builder Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 "Of course we can do it. Any minions she sends in will be let past, we'll get her this time. It's become personal! Let's go."
Flare Posted June 4, 2012 Posted June 4, 2012 "Captain, do you think that you could come with us? If we had an extra set of eyes to watch the situation then it would make things a ton easier. What do you say? Please? "
Sandy Posted June 4, 2012 Author Posted June 4, 2012 "Captain, do you think that you could come with us? If we had an extra set of eyes to watch the situation then it would make things a ton easier. What do you say? Please? " "I will bring my full force to the Ji Pei Palace, but do you really think we can lure Violetta into a room full of watchmen? No, that would only make her use the more straightforward tactics that she used at the Ziegfried Manor. You three must catch her as she tries to take the last remaining heirloom. Me and my men will make sure that there will be no distractions." QM Note: I'm going to be very busy these coming few days, so the updates will be slower. I also need to build a MOC for the Ji Pei palace, which I was supposed to do during the weekend but didn't have time for it. My apologies!
Flare Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 "OK, but we would like it if you could personally accompany us to help protect the Ji Pei's treasure. You know, in the same room, not just in the same building."
Sandy Posted June 7, 2012 Author Posted June 7, 2012 "OK, but we would like it if you could personally accompany us to help protect the Ji Pei's treasure. You know, in the same room, not just in the same building." "Are you trying to insinuate something? Do I really look like a nimble and lean cat burglar to you? A woman of my age?! And do you honestly believe I would spend a significant amount of the Town Watch's funds to hire the three of you to catch myself?!?! Hmpf, let's just get this over with and go to the Ji Pei Palace, I want to be done with you." The fuming captain of the watchmen lead the heroes and her troops to the last powerful family whose house was not broken into yet. Inside the palace they met up with Ambassador Shanxian Ji Pei and her bodyguard Lee Long. "Your concern is touching", said the ambassador with a thick oriental accent. "But we are one step ahead both you and the Wolfgang vermin. It does not surprise me that the other houses have lost their valuables to the sewer rats, but our heirlooms are currently sailing high above the Crystalline Sea on Monsignore Legonardo's airship." "That was a smart move. Violetta may be devilishly cunning, but even she can't grow wings. But what's that blade behind you?" Shanxian just smiled and lead the group to the golden sword. There was some sort of beast engraved to its hilt. "This is the legendary Qilin Blade, our household treasure", the matron of the Ji Pei said. "Or rather, a replica of it. The true blade is of course loaded into the airship. But this should be enough to lure the burglar here tonight. All you need to do is to catch her." "Well, you heard her. My men and I will patrol outside in case Lieutenant Lilbelly and his minions decides to make an appearance. I have no faith that my men will see even a glimpse of Violetta, but they shouldn't have trouble spotting a fat man, a dwarf and a giant. Oh well, even that might be saying too much..." Does the party have any more questions to the Ji Pei?
K-Nut Posted June 7, 2012 Posted June 7, 2012 Althior looked on at the Ji-Pei leader. They were clever. Possibly too clever. "I have no questions."
Masked Builder Posted June 7, 2012 Posted June 7, 2012 "No, no questions from me." OoC: I'm gone most of this weekend, I'll be back sometime Sunday afternoon. Althior's the party leader in my stead.
Sandy Posted June 8, 2012 Author Posted June 8, 2012 Agreeing with the Ji Pei's plan, the party settles in for the night. There is a different tension in the air this time. Would Violetta realize the scam? Would she then try to flee or face the heroes? And what of the traitorous Watchmen, would they try to interfere? The last question was soon answered when a door opened, and three figures slipped into the room. "There's the pretentious fools", said the leader of the trio, a chubby man with thick moustache. "Surprise!" shouted Constable Longjon, grinning like a half-minded. "It didn't cross your mind that we've been hiding inside this palace since last night, did it?" Constable Llowlyfe sneered. "Shut up, you two! The other jerks from Heroica ruined my career with the Dozenhands case. And as I later found out from Donny himself, they stole my money in the process as well. Patricia is a moron for trusting anyone from your organization. You idiots did not even figure out Violetta's scheme until it was too late. Now I will get my sweet, sweet revenge..."

Sandy Posted June 9, 2012 Author Posted June 9, 2012 Results of Round One of the Watchmen Battle: >Althior (Darkness) vs. Lilbelly - Shield (Magical Vortex of Wood) >Alexis (Darkness) vs. Lilbelly - Spell >Benji (Crossbow) vs. Lilbelly - Shield (Aura) >Alexis (Darkness) vs. Longjon - Aimed Spell Llowlyfe - Free Hit against Althior At the start of the battle, Althior conjures a magical vortex of the wood-element, causing 28 damage to all enemies. Alexis' spell of darkness hits Lilbelly for 60 damage. Benji surrounds himself with an aura that doubles his health and directs all damage to him on the next round. Alexis carefully aims her next spell at Longjon, who takes 20 damage. Constable Llowlyfe is left without attention, so he gets a chance to hit Althior for 3 damage. All enemies are still standing.
