Figuring this ink-blackened hands a result of the work, she then considers if those constraining the cultist need help...

In reply to Aoife (msg # 721):

as the dancing sword blocks the way, the cultist becomes more frenzied...

and Felix takes in the level of opposition and his shoulders sink in resignation.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 722):

Sederic moves in to held control the cultist...

[Private to GM: Rolled 5 under ST.]

In reply to Sederic (msg # 723):

the cultist struggles, but cannot pull away.
Felix acquiesces.

Benny speaks softly to Felix, "Not to worry son, you've clearly not lost your soul yet, unlike that poor fellow.  Help us, we help you, and then we all go our merry ways right?"

In reply to cultist (msg # 724):

"Rope, anyone, to bind him? Or should we just make him a fish?"

Fizh iz hard da carry an diez quick

"Oly, there's a hank of rope in my backpack, if you'd be so good.  I've got my hands full at the moment."  He nods at the futilely struggling cultist.

Mancini, seeing that matters are well in hand, lets the group handle Felix. He waits for an opportunity to better assist the group, like the upcoming interrogation.

Oly pulls the rope out and Wraps It around the Cultist's Arms and Hands as tightly as he can.

I'll Hold'em, you die da rope

In reply to Oly (msg # 730):

Sederic continues to hold him. Do we need another ST roll?

"Hold still, or I'll break your arm.  The Hadereum will still ask all their questions, but you'll have a freshly broken arm the whole time."

Ardenas releases his grapple in favor of Oly's rope wrap on the cultist's wrists, freeing his hands to tie off the rope.

[Private to GM: 05:08, Today: Ardenas Barehand rolled 15 using 3d6.  Knot Tying (15).]

Oly holds the Cultist  while Ardenas secures the ropes.

In reply to Ardenas Barehand (msg # 732):

"Let us turn the damned one to the Temple of the purple robes, and question the other someplace quiet...perhaps Mancini has an office."

In reply to Kalima (msg # 734):

"Sounds like a good plan to me..." he agrees, wrestling the cultist in question as the ropes are applied.

"I have an office in the Guild for such a purpose." Mancini glowers at the Devil. "Let us quickly offload this irredeemable scoundrel to the Haedereum and be on our way."

"Agreed.  Nothing to gain by holding onto this scum."

In reply to Ardenas Barehand (msg # 737):

You head over to the Hadereum,  where the acolyte's eye starts to twitch at the presence of both an infernal and a celestial in your group.
"Oh, what now? The plumber wasn't enough today?.....ah. one of thoseguys.Good, we can only interrogate them when they are alive."

"Not so quick, my purple robed friend", Mancini said with a sinister smile aim towards the prisoner.  "We have certain expenses. Tracking this foul monster down on your behalf should entitle us to some compensation."

He paused for a second, before adding, "So we can better assist the Haedereum on this vital effort, of course."

(Ooc: 17:46, Today: Mancini rolled 4 using 3d6.  Diplomacy 16. Crit!)

In reply to Mancini (msg # 739):

Aoife follows, DEFINIELY letting Mancini do the talking!

In reply to Mancini (msg # 739):

Nodding, the Acolyte's lips move as he is counting you all, and he then pulls a stack of small bags from a locked drawer,

and pays you for a 4 hour day each, which is $48 per person.

In reply to Acolyte Flavius (msg # 741):

Aoife will look to recover, suggesting that those who need healing get it.

In reply to Aoife (msg # 742):

Sederic is one of those that need healing (though I cannot remember why!).

"Is it just me, or does it seem like a lot has happened already today?"

He nods, been more an'a half day da do dis.
