Chapter 7: The Spider's Lair

"How do you get your visions? Are they signs of danger or random? The last one seems to either still be pending or can your visions be more metaphorical?" Vanyra hears.

"Well, I don't see a rush to act, I've been sitting here for a long time, so we can as well chat a bit. I just tried to figure out how literal and imminent your visions are." Vanyra hears back. "But OK, what would you suggest? I stand up on my table, hold out my Order symbols and shout 'In the name of The Order, he who works for Lasrane come forward'? Maybe they are not yet here, and who knows what the device is, maybe it would be safer for only me to be here then, well, safer for you."

"This wasn't about the future, this was the past.  I saw what already happened, and someone, a Mespah, was interested if a Mespah from the Order was in here.  So who knows why.  And you need another set of eyes or fists if something happens.  So lets see if someone here is gonna do something and get them and their device, but lets get a plan."

"All right, I think I am quite obviously a Mespah though, so not sure what else I should do to make it more obvious. Should I start juggling my badge?" Zelpuz replies to Vanyra.

"Can you ask someone a legitimate question and show your badge in a way that others might be able to see it if they are watching you?"

"I can go ask the bartender about a wanted Mespah frequenting this place, good enough?"

Chapter 7: The Spider's Lair

Zelpuz eventually finishes his taters and drink and walks up to the bar. When the bartender comes over he orders another pint, when he gets the pint, he hands him a very generous tip and asks if he has recently seen another Mespah in this fine bar, roughly describes Lasrane, holds his badge up and mentions that that Mespah is wanted for questioning by the Order.

Chapter 7: The Spider's Lair

The bartender listens to the description of Lasrane and ponders for a while before replying that he doesn't think he's seen someone like him. The bar gets its fair share of traffic so it possible someone like that was here, but he may not have noticed. H then asks about any distinguishing features that might may have made Lasrane stand out.

During the exchange at the bar Vanyra notices a table of 3 businessmen, to the left of the bar. While in the midst of a lively discussion on of them casually hits another in the arm and subtly nods in the direction of Zelpuz. The conversation halts for a moment, which Zelpuz picks up on and is able to throw a quick glance before returning attention back to the bartender.

Each of the men take another sip of their drinks and resume their conversation. From her position Vanyra spies one of them reaching down into his satchel, searching around inside for a moment, and then return attention to his companions.

Zelpuz describes Lasrane, then thanks the bartender and returns to his seat positioning himself in a way that he keep an unsuspecting eye on the table of the three men.
" Did you see the 3 men at the table?" Zelpuz asks Vanyra. "So now what, do we just wait? Maybe you should go back outside to surveil the area? Let's see if Lasrane or half an army are coming."

"Sure, why not, see what they do," Vanyra thinks back to Zelpuz, not responding to the communicator to not give away its presence.  "I'd be interested in getting one of them alone outside anyway."

"OK, what's the plan if they try to stop me? Should I lure them outside? Escape? Or maybe just talk to them?"
Zelpuz looks around the room, obviously scanning the patrons, shrugs disappointed, gets up and walks to the door.

Chapter 7: The Spider's Lair

Vanyra watches as Zelpuz makes his exit and remains behind, sipping on her drink while casually monitoring the reactions of all those in Arkham's Abode. The three business-like patrons that had shown some interest in the Mespah continue on with their conversations and drinks, paying no further heed to Zelpuz.

Chapter 7: The Spider's Lair

Zelpuz walks around outside for a while, passing by the corner that Yuu is sitting and mentally communicating what happened to him while walking by. He walks a loop and turns back to wait another 2 hours to see if Lasrane will show up. He enters the bar, walks back over to the bartender, mumbles something about mixing up the times and orders another drink, pays and sits back at the table.

Over the next hour a few patrons get up and leave while a few more enter and make the tavern a little more cozy. The three businessmen leave after about 30 minutes.

"Maybe we should change our plan and you should follow the man that had the device?" Zelpuz communicates to Vanyra. "Or do you think we should just go after him and ask him nicely about his job?"

"Actually, you are much better and following people unseen. I'll just wait here and see if something will happen. If you need help just radio us, or if you are getting out of range. Just tell Yuu you are following them."

Vanyra gives an affirmative response and quietly heads out of the bar.

When outside, she gives a quick radio to Yuu to let him know that one of these businessmen appeared to activate something as expected and that she wants to isolate him for questioning.  She also asks him to get her outerwear from where she leaves it in a close-by, out-of-sight alley.

She gets out of sight, blends in with her surroundings, and jumps/climbs her way up to the low rooftops to follow them.

Chapter 7: The Spider's Lair

The three businessmen walk up the street, further into the city's heart and pass by the shop where Yuu is seated. After about five minutes of walking the group stops and after an exchange of farewells one of them heads off down a perpendicular street while the other two continue on their way. From Vanyra's vantage point she believes the one with the device is in the pair continuing along their original course.
