I mean, she kept them distracted while he raided their basement, yes.  But of all the houses here, they're probably the ones she approves of most.  She still has influence committed to maximizing the yield from their farmlands, and her whole quest for the bits happened because they asked her to investigate.

As for your spoiler, that is possible.  I mean, if they noticed the lost key, it'd be hard to not realize she was being a distraction.  And she hasn't reported back in a couple of weeks, even while situations in the city are rapidly evolving.  She wouldn't really blame them for it, though.  If anything, she'd hold off on fighting back while she tried to recruit Roberta.

Yeah...

About that.

They definitely noticed the lost key when Vasati appeared with the lost key in front of them and went "HA, I HAVE IT NOW SUCKERS!"

Yeah, unless he's got some very good deception and they think it's a fake :D

To be clear, we are all standing idly by Vasati and Barbaroman, right? Plaga is not entirely sure why she is there, other than to fulfill her part of the deal with Vasati.

In reply to Plaga, The Doctor of Death (msg # 803):

I can answer that.

Plaga is there in case they try to kill Vasati.

Always good to have a plague doctor there with leeches if you get hurt.

Gaja: They totally noticed the lost key. It took them while, but they noticed. That's why they were looking for you, Gaja.

Kamea: I don't think it's a fake, but even I can't be sure given that Vasati has the Theif word :)

You are all basically waiting outside the council chamber.

This is not what you are here for. This is the pre-amble before the shit show begins and you will all probably be needed if things go down.

The OOC gist of it (I don't think Vasati forwarded the info) is that certain council members might decide today that you crazy outsiders are out to destroy the city.

Having you on hand to be reasonable and act as witnesses (and the subtle implied threat of having someone who can turn the entire council chamber into a block of ice) might keep the council vote from deciding you are all heretics.

Got it, all clear now. And this is all happening after whatever we are dealing with in other threads, right? So if things go down it shouldn't interfere with them.

Correct. Though if you decide to go on a killing spree in shantytown, that MAYYYY have some effect on the council. Or if you do something really criminal, like causing a nobleman to lose money :)

Yeah, I figured.  But she's on a very specific and deliberate pilgrimage.  They can wait!

Huh, my Shantytown post vanished.

I must have screwed it up somehow.

Vasati: I think I deleted some of the communication messages because they broke the flow of the game, but that was like a week ago. I haven't touched anything since and I don't recall seeing anything recent in the thread from you. Weird.

I thought I posted it today.

I must have cut away too quickly.

RPOL gunna RPOL.

RPOL gonna ROFL, too.  It mocks your missing posts.

@GM: Jeezus...

More importantly, I don't see any indication of where the music was coming from. It was inside the silo, right? Or have I become confused?

{Tangent: I make playlists/pandora stations for basically all my significant characters. Gaja's is mostly The HU, Eivør, Heilung, and Nine Treasures. I'd love more suggestions, whether in that vein or not!)

OoC: It was coming from the building when you were scouting this place. It's gone now

Theres a common theme amoung these weird occurances, btw.

All the buildings are totaled above the ground. This one is decending downward, deeper, so silo might not be the best term.

"...the sad truth is that the Arch Key was taken from the family vaults of House Falchetto."

DUN DUN DUUUUN!!!

Ahh, ok. As a reminder, the collapsed building scene where you got some fresh souls took place was in the thread "[IC] The Collapse"

Getting them out is ludicrously easy though, since at the time you did that you had the Archkey.

On that note, weirdly, the other day I posted something (different game), and it did post... but for one line. It was a short OOC post consisting of two lines and an image, but one of the lines (the last one I typed) didn't get added. Which was weird...?)

I was able to edit it back in, though.

1. The past is coming back to haunt her! I can't wait to figure out what terrible mistakes she makes.
2. Missile silo is about the image I'm getting. But I admit, I'm having trouble visualizing the space. There's a short ramp to a flat open area except the ramp is long and spiraling and goes to the center and there are multiple floors except there aren't? I could use some help.

Having no context for this when he said submerged silo-like building I immediately assumed you had found Wan Shi Tong's Library. But then I remembered what game we are playing.

God I love that place and want more of it...

It's a real hoot. :3
