In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 263):

the guy jack ganked in the street.

In reply to Ciryl Fontaine (msg # 264):

All correct.  I never named him, so everyone is just referring to him that way.

In reply to GM (msg # 265):

So...whose action is it?

In reply to Brennan Otthild (msg # 266):

....me apparently.  Sorry I've got a half day today so I'm going to be super busy.  I hope to get something off to you guys before I go to the concert tonight.

How long would it take for the men to arrive at the hut, are we talking like five-ten minutes?

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 267):

Let's say 5

In reply to GM (msg # 268):

OK so I distracted them for 5 minutes and now they have a 10 or so minute walk ahead of them?

How far am I from the priest's house?  What is the terrain around the city?  There is the lake and the forest the priest went to what is in the other directions?

Also do any of these guys know who I am either as the lordling or as the inspector?

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 269):

Yep, about 10 minutes to prepare.

You are as far from the priest's house as you want to be given 10 minutes lead time.  In that time you can sprint anywhere in the shantytown, or make it back to DuckTown behind the soldiers, or wherever you want to be.

Ducktown has a lake to the west, open land to the north (farms), open land then trees and mountains a mile to the east, and the slums to the south (where I presume you are).

The priest walked around the lake to the west.  Past the lake to the west are the woods he was heading to.

You don't recognize any of the men, you have no idea whether they heard rumors about an inspector, lordling, or anything else.

Going to need a roll for each new use of your illusion power.

Also keep in mind, everyone in the area will be able to see it, unless you're picking one specific person.

In reply to GM (msg # 271):

Also, and I forgot this earlier so we can just apply it to only things from now on:

As nobody got any sleep to speak of last night, you're at a -1d exhaustion penalty to all dice pools.

In reply to GM (msg # 272):

I'm aware... I'm kinda hoping to sew panic...

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 273):

That it would...

In reply to GM (msg # 274):

updated my post.  I have a risky idea to avoid the inquisition but I think it works...

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 275):

do we gain an echo despite our shitty night?

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 276):

No, you didn't rest

In reply to GM (msg # 277):

In case this interaction feels confusing:

Burke was indeed at the pit when you were looking to hire them, but he was not at the rendezvous himself when they tried to kill Titus.

Even if he were, he's absolutely not going to incriminate himself to someone he doesn't know.

He and Gheller are willing to work for Titus, they don't really care, but they're smart enough not to talk about what they've done in the past (mostly)

In reply to GM (msg # 278):

I have no idea where (or when) Brennan and Cyril are right now.

In reply to Brennan Otthild (msg # 279):

I think we're in a brief temporal limbo, but if not I've also been lost.

In reply to Ciryl Fontaine (msg # 280):

Correct, you'll be walking in as soon as Titus finishes this conversation.

In reply to GM (msg # 281):

It's still midmorning.

In reply to GM (msg # 282):

Does our ringleader have anythoughts on the current situation and ideas presented?

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 283):

*Titus claps for your performance*

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 284):

Bravo!

Now, have you given any thought at all to your third character after this one dies?

In reply to Brennan Otthild (msg # 285):

Please, he's got MANY rounds of torture to endure before that.

Also, yes, very well done!

Don't worry, once I have him alone I plan to sell out the lot of you in exchange for my life.  I give it a 50/50 chance of success, but if I die you'll all go down with me, so it's kind of win-win.

In reply to Ciryl Fontaine (msg # 287):

Brennan has been reserved so far. If he's at a serious risk of dying, he'll show you all why demonspeakers are so feared...

and then, you know, die.
