Re: Floor B25 - Exploration and Civilization
Dashu doesn't like being followed but he tries to not indicate that he knows about the sentry following him. Instead, he walks deliberately down a passage way and scoops a hand full of loose dirt off the ground. Seeing that the dirt had something of a red tint to it, Dashu smiles and thinks to himself, "Perfect." He spits a large volume of saliva into the dirt and makes a reddish mud with it. Dashu then rubs the dirt into his hair trying to give it a more reddish tint, or at the very least, look like he's been hard at work with the others. He then took the remainder of the mud and brushed it lightly on his cheeks, in such a way as to perhaps blur his features some. Given the extreme fighting and exertion he did the day before, he figured he already had the haggard appearance of a manual laborer, so the purpose of this little exercise was not to make himself look more like something, as much as it was to make him appear less like himself, in case he needed to leave and come back later with the other Exalts.
Dashu then made certain that his Dragon Claws were well hidden in his coat, and then walked into the camp. With full knowledge that the mini-sentry was following him, he did his best to duck and weave through the foot traffic. At on point, he stepped in front of a large, slow, staggeringly drunk worker. It appeared to Dashu that he now knew what the favorite pass time in the compound was. Knowing the drunk stood between himself and his tail, Dashu thought quick. While watching the man's movements in the reflection of a nearby metallic canister, Dashu was able wait for the man to stagger slightly towards the closest building. When this movement came, Dashu moved with it deftly ducking into an ally while using the man as a shield from the sensors of his watcher. Once in the ally, Dashu knew he had but a few seconds to take in his surroundings and hide. Fortunately, several large boxes containing mining tools were nearby. He swiftly moved behind the boxes. And waited for the sentry to go by.
After ducking the tail, Dashu backtracked to find the drunk. "First things first," Dashu thouht, "I need some basic information so I don't give away my disguise too easily." He approaches the large man with a smile on his face, saying "Hey! How ya do'n? I'm new here, just got here today, actually, and I'm a little turned 'round. Think ya could help a guy out? I was look'n for the foreman, I'm supposed ta report to him. He's supposed to tell me what all's go'n on here and I what my job is."
[Private to GM: Stunting the disguise roll, the ducking of my tail, and starting my interrogation. My plan is to squeeze at least a minimal amount of information outta this guy, then possibly find a sober person to talk to, then head back. I'm looking for what they're mining for, where their sending it, who's in charge, if there are any other towns on this level and any news this guy might have dealing with the Water Level. I'm saying all this up front in case you want to speed things up.
