"How about I rain fire down on them?  I've been itching to try out my new spell...", Ales says offhandedly.

"No fire... Want place intact. Want neighborhood intact!"

"You're no fun, Chye", Ales says, giving a mock pout for show.

"If you want to conceal the weapons, maybe I could do an illusion to hide them until we are at a point where we would have to use them.  However, that would be very taxing."

"Chye know how to have fun, just times and places for that elsewhere. Want to get bad people, and minimize the grief to Sahudese, caught in crossfire."

"My smoke bombs will do the trick and not burn the place down. I will slip in and set them off in the kitchen. It is the safest thing"

"My magical skill is mainly in the elemental colleges; I have no means of concealment other than obscuration of an area with darkness or, when I learn the spell, smoke.

"I do think blocking off the chimney above the kitchen would add to the effectiveness of the nageteppo.  Chimneys draw smoke, when they work correctly, so at the least, blocking the chimney would prevent it drawing off the smoke from the nageteppo.  If there are other fireplaces or stoves connected to the same flue, it might distribute the smoke throughout the house.  Perhaps Iskander could go up while Airis goes down to the kitchens.

"I do not think we need conceal any weapons, possibly other than Jin's hungamunga.  Many people carry a staff as a walking stick or for defense, and weapons like knives and swords aren't uncommon in eating establishments."

In reply to Chou-Zhen Mou (msg # 940):

"It might be more the Tetsubo that needs xoncealment. After that day on the docks, I am known for it."

"You may be correct.  You and I might well be too well known within the Silver Jade Palace in any case.  However, the only weapon we likely need to conceal by illusion would be that one.  My whip is easily enough concealed on my person; the others' swords and such are not so distinctive.

"Is that a plan, then?  Airis enters the kitchens by stealth and sows nageteppo while Iskander closes the flue from the cooking stoves to keep the smoke in the house.  The rest of us enter through the dining room in the confusion, make our way to the casino where Airis and Iskander will join us, defeat the dragon men, break the coin room, and haul away as much coin as we can.

"I must visit the guild briefly, to maximize my stored energy, before we begin.  I drew a little from my power item when I greased the floor in the dining room, and cannot recharge it myself."

"I can do that, we'd best have somebody from the household stand by with a cart and horses, so we can not be caught floundering about, with heavy sacks of coin... that shouldn't be too hard."

In reply to Chou-Zhen Mou (msg # 940):

"I am fine with that. I can sneak into the kitchen and toss the bombs. Though if Iskander blocks the chimney, it will not take long for it to back up. "

"I'll need straw, rags, and mud, most likely..."

"Sounds like we have the trappings for a merry little adventure..."

"We be merrier, afterwards!"

"We could liberate some wine while we are there"

"やった!! - Yatta!!"

"Yes, wine would be delightful.  Maybe there will be a fine Riesling or White from my homeland....", Ales says whistfully.

"Even if there's not, at least Akira will suffer great dishonor and feel some pain."

"I think it unlikely that he will feel dishonor; he will almost certainly feel that condition belongs to Sakemoko.  None the less, he will likely lose considerable face, to go with the money."

In reply to Chou-Zhen Mou (msg # 951):

"Then on to it!"

Chye bows himself out of the Daimyo's court, and heads for the guild. There, he retrieves his arms and armor, and equips for the raid. "Sayonara!"

In reply to Chye Isuel (msg # 953):

Ooc
Pay the usual price for re-equipping and we can start back in the Sneaking in and Silver Jade Palace Threads, probably  on page 2 if it isn't on the front page.

She disappears as other get supplies. She gets some smoke bombs.

Chye retrieves his stored armor, and collects his weapons. When he is equipped, he tries to find a reputable sahudese healer/apothecary on the way back, but having no such luck, he hurried back to meet the others. (He's traveling no non-sense, anything not practical, lute, etc. is secured at home.) 23:50, Today: Chye Isuel rolled 15 using 3d6.  area knowledge (sahudese healer/ apothecary) -13.

Chou-Zhen also travels to the guild to transact some quick business.

In reply to Chou-Zhen Mou (msg # 957):

Paut is available at the guild for $130

Ales heads back towards the restaurant.
