Vanyra, given her vocation, likely scouted the location of a couple local clinics when she arrived and thus can provide directions. Unlikely they'll be open at this hour though.

Just a few notes on the current situation and your tentative plans:

1) It is getting pretty late and your characters have been up for quite some time. Yuu and Qwe have had a bit of rest, but not much. You can certainly press on, especially given the circumstances, but fatigue will eventually kick in. Just something to consider in the medium-term.

2) You guys are currently located in the South-Eastern corner of one of the harbour districts, meaning you're about equidistant to the High Quarters and the other harbour district where the Order's HQ is located. The High Quarters is in the north side of the city. It'll probably take you about 40mins jogging to get to the Order HQ.

3) There are numerous gates exiting the city, but as noted above the High Quarter is on the north side and thus all gates exiting directly north are from the High Quarter. One can exit any gate and take a side road that eventually heads north. The city sits in well protected bay that is ringed by hills on all sides (save the narrow bay exit), but they are very gradual.

4) Lasrane will not be moving on his power, so you'll have to bring him somewhere or have the Captain do it or something. That assumes you don't try to attend to Lasrane yourselves.

5) Captain Westing is still a captive (by you), and now possibly without a ship to leave in. Without a doubt the fastest way out of this place is by ship (just stating the obvious for your characters), assuming the bay towers are allowing passage. The towers are two massive structure at the mouth of the bay (one North and one South) that can effectively close off the bay from ship traffic with massive cables and cannon fire.

6) You guys are still uncertain how far the events with the Shen Zue or the guys that assaulted Yuu's family estate have progressed at this stage. The piers seemed pretty quiet until the Shen Zue arrived, but that only one small part of town.

Anyway, just let me know where you guys are going next and with who. And tell me what you're doing with the Captain and Lasrane.

Just so you have a layout of the basic geography of the city of Ossylia I've upload a map to the Group 2 set; check under game map, then at the bottom select group 2. It'll kind of show you where you are (Harbour District) vis-a-vis everything else. The city encompasses the entire bay depicted.

Zelpuz thinks he can 'hide' in the city and wants to get Myria out. The fatigue is basically the reason why he suggests to wait until morning and then act. He's OK with splitting, given some way of communication or at least a potential meeting point that he would show up every day if possible. So for him, he'd stay and check on Myira tomorrow, the rest can wait.

With fatigue being pointed out, Vanyra would be ok waiting until later to attempt and rescue Myyria.  However, Vanyra would want to get out of town before the day starts to be safer (for the reasons of imminent destruction and soldiers on every corner).

Remember the Myria is not being held captive and thus does not really need rescuing. She is simply at the Order HQ recovering.

You guys have a few hours before first light and thus could probably get in 4~5 hours of sleep if you wanted.

Still need to know what you want to do with your two current captives.

I'd say drop the captain off somewhere unless Yuu wants to use him to get out (assuming we can rescue his ship and actually get out with it).
Lasrane I still vote for dropping off at a hospital if that is possible now, otherwise try to keep him stable and deal with him tomorrow.
And yes, I'd rest now, go get Myria tomorrow, then see.

OK; any objects to this plan? Essentially you're letting the Captain go and then dropping Lasrane off at a clinic. Then you guys are getting some rest and heading out in the morning?

Yes, or keeping Lasrane until we went to the Order (to be a little safer) if he is stable enough.
And if we let him go, I'd tell him to meet me at some bar in 2 days if he wants to work together.

Ok, not sure how to explain this OOC.  I've been dropping strong hints IC but noone has bit the hooks yet, so I'm going to be more direct. :)

Vanyra believes quite literally that large fiery meteors will rain down upon them and the city as they are trying to leave the city with Myyria.  This ends up trapping them in the middle of the civil war.

Vanyra wants to get Myyria out of the city ASAP in order to avoid them all dying at the hands of fiery sky meteors or the groups at war in the city.

As a result of this, Vanyra is also nervous about staying in the city any longer at all.

Yes, I got that, but besides your feeling, what would it matter even if they start fighting? Unless someone literally has a large meteor shower at their command, Zelpuz feels like he can hide. And I don't know how the situation at the Order is, but I assume that late night visitors are generally not a typical thing. And we did stay up long, so a bit of rest would probably be quite advisable.

Its ok, I'm going to just drop a bomb IC. :)

Yes, the ship in the vision was Captain Westing's ship, which is why Vanyra knew what it looked like.

Otherwise, Vanyra is fine with leaving Lasrane and Westing where-ever. She just wants to get out.

Enjoy :)

Practical question, if Zelpuz would go to the Order now and ask to see Myria, would that work? Could he get her out (I know she is not a prisoner, still strange at night etc)

Essentially this would be like a police officer asking if he could go to the police station at night. Short answer is why not? Most people will be sleeping, but they don't have guards and like at the Order branch, so you could just walk in. I'll assume you were given a key when you arrived.

Unless your a miscreant Mespah you have nothing to worry about from the Order, and outside of Mespah and maybe a few educated others, people generally have no idea what the Order does or why it's around.

OK, thanks, wasn't quite sure how the Order and their HQ is run. So going there and trying to get Myria out is an option.

It is indeed unlikely the ship is free given what you saw, and it will take Vanyra about 1.5 hours just to go check. The captain's ship is also not the only one in the harbor, given it is highly unlikely anyone is sailing out at this late hour.

Also need to confirm that a) you're just going to drop Captain Westing off somewhere and b) you're dropping Lasrane off at some clinic somewhere. Who is doing this and when?

I thought we were close to the docks, why does it take so long to check?
And I assume it takes longer to get Myria. If not, I'll edit later.
What we do with the others depends a bit on our plan, so once we know how we proceed, we know what we do with those two, at least I know what Zelpuz would do.

Why not just head out of town?

Between teleportation and other special abilities, it should be a small matter to head for the closest border and simply leave.  The hardest part will be getting anyone who isn't already with us, but if Myyria is unconscious, she can be teleported in your bag rather easily right?

Remember you guys are in a large city, like a million plus people. So when you want to go places it's sort of like saying I'll just run over to the other side of San Francisco (on foot). It'd probably be faster if you had some sort of car or flying device, but that would also draw more attention.

Yuu suggested going by boat since his cousin or so is on the islands. Doesn't have to be the captain's boat, maybe something smaller and faster works, but I don't know what we can get. I am fine either way, Zelpuz would also stay, although the vision makes that option less attractive.

Yep, there are lots of boats in the harbour. Probably not any leaving now, but certainly there 'should' be some leaving in the morning.

Ya, I was thinking any old boat would do. City this big, there's gotta be a boat loads (hah!) of them.

OK, so we set the Captain free. Next question, should I drop off Lasrane at a hospital on the way to the Order (or better after)?

Exactly what I was thinking. :)

OK, so just to recap, we are very close to the harbor, right? So if I run off to get Myria and come back, Yuu finds a transport and we all meet back here, that wouldn't be too much of a delay, right?

Its a little ways off.  Vanyra was thinking not to let Yuu run around alone at night and it could work fine if they all went to the harbor and waited for Zelpuz there.  Or we could all wait at the apartment until Zelpuz came back and then go to the harbor together.

One note is that it will take Yuu/Qwe significantly more time to travel around than Vanyra/Zelpuz.
