OK, in that case, it may be more interesting to follow that guy. On the other hand, all he probably knows is that someone told him to press that button if he sees a Mespah from the Order.
In either case, we can try waiting again next time, too. I think we had recurring times, like every Thursday or so since we couldn't be sure when we'd be back.

So just to be clear Vanyra and Zelpuz are following the businessmen out of the tavern?

Changed my mind, something should happen, let's wait and see. And I don't think Vanyra would need any help.

Ok, so Zelpuz is staying put and Vanyra is tailing the guys who left.

Erik please give me a Stealth check and let me know how you are tailing them; is she moving in parallel in an alley, shadowing them on the main street and blending with the crowd, or is she taking a rooftop approach?

I've been keeping up with the chats, by the way, just waiting for when Yuu needs popping in.

Cool. Yeah, this will be wrapping up pretty quickly.

After this part resolves I think I'll start the next chapter of the game since we're kind of at a turning point, and this one's been going for quite some time.

I'm still in Japan, but I should be back in US by the end of the month I think. Not that'll impact this game much.

She'll just take 10 for a result of 20.

Cool, I totally forgot that she literally makes no noise while moving.

She will be following on high (rooftop approach) while using blending, so partial concealment to visual as well.

She is interesting in isolating the one who pressed the button, but she doesn't want to go to far before she does so.  Hopefully they don't go far.

Is Vanyra sticking on the pair or going after the single guy? She thinks the guy with the device is one guys in the pair going down that main road.

She follows the pair.

Erik, so one of them tied your take 10 stealth check (total 20), and that's why the whole raven thing happened for narrative licence. Please give me another stealth check since you have your blurring concealment power on, so you can make stealth checks in 'plain sight' as it were.

Bleh, 14.

Lol, looks like Vanyra's got 9 lives... they rolled a 10 total.

I'm going to assume Vanyra's wanting to listen into the conversation, if so can you give me a Notice check for Hearing.

Take 10 for a 23 on that.  And only three stories up should mean no penalties for her because its less than a hundred feet right?

What's the range of our radios?

Good question, I was thinking about making contact.

Far enough that Vanyra can talk with Zelpuz, she's only gone a kilometer or two from the tavern.

Vanyra heads back to the tavern.  She doesn't follow the Mespah as closely since she thinks she knows their route and wants to avoid being noticed, though she checks in now and then to make sure.  She wants to get back before them.

Vanyra will probably make it back in 5 minutes, and she would estimate the two Mespah will probably take about 10 minutes unless they just start running.

Jan, I deleted that last question from Zelpuz as he would know the Order only has Mespah in it; no other races are allowed.

Secondly, Vanyra explicitly said that two Order Mespah were headed your way earlier, so it would be a little odd for a guy with perfect memory to ask.

Just need to know what Yuu is going to do now.

Thanks, I wasn't sure about the first bit. So they should be easy enough to spot when they arrive.

Just one note, I'm finally leaving Japan and heading back to Houston. So for the next several days I won't be checking this game as much as I'll be bouncing through Canada and then trying to get my life setup back in Houston.

Hey Erik, what is Vanyra going to do when she gets back to the tavern location? Is she going in and meeting up with Yuu or just hanging outside.

Zelpuz has take up position on an opposite rooftop, though it's unlikely Vanyra would find him unless he told her where he is since he's got is stealth field up.

She's got about probably 3 comfortable minutes if she wants to go into the tavern. You would all know that Vanyra left after the spies, so if she got back ahead of the Mespah it would not be unusual even if they gave them a description of every person in the bar at the time they left. Vanyra did not hear that in the conversation, but she may be suspicious of how they can use that device of theirs.

She's going to return to the bar and set herself up as before.  It will likely look like she just went out for a bit to anyone else.

So that's what happens inside; you guys doing anything?

Does Zelpuz recognize the Mespah from the Order? Did he see them there before?
