>>26346377
Well, looks like we're going to have a fight on our hands.

"Mage, cut 'em free!"
The rest of the group can just do their thing, they know their part is to help clear out the guards and guard the prisoners.

Who's closest to us, other than the KOed noble? A guard? We should probably get to fighting whomever is closest.

>>26346377
Can we flip the table they were using onto the nobles?

>>26346425
>Who's closest to us, other than the KOed noble?
That would be the blue crane, very-woozy, noble.

We should probably do a tail swipe. That should keep a guard from drawing his blade for just a bit longer.

>>26346452
eh, he's woozy, we'll prioritize him later.

I still say go after a guard. They're way armed, we need to at least weaken one before fight starts.

>>26346450
>Can we flip the table they were using onto the nobles?

It's 30 feet long and made of solid wood. Took at least five slaves to move it in here. You can certainly try, Miss 200lb+ tail of 'pure muscle' if you want, but it'll be hard.

>>26346484
let's not, that could kill them.

>>26346484
It's about time we flipped a table.

I'm game

>>26346452
{"The next person what moves gets to explain why this guy is dead and being digested to the Sky Lords."}

Also, what's on the Table? I dunno much about Phoenician Cuisine.

>>26346498
Sounds like too much effort and a waste of time.

>>26346498
How hardy are the poles holding this presumably big ass tent up?

>>26346504
nah, I don't like the way that's worded. not smooth criminal enough.

I'm more partial to a {Allright everyone just hold up and be calm. There's been a bit of a snag, but give us a minute and we'll be out of your hair with no one hurt.}

>>26346377
Either we go after a guard or we take the woozy guy hostage. No point taking the one already knocked out, he's dead weight.

>>26346540
Nope. Keep things short and to the point, and make the terms VERY clear.

{Anyone moves, this guy dies, Badly.}
-or-
{Everyone shut up and don't move.}
depending on how overtly threatening we want to be. Personally I don't want to make that call, because I am in a bad mood and I will propose killing and violence regardless of whether it is a good idea.

>>26346594
>believers in reincarnation
>caring about someone dying badly

It couldn't hurt, though. They just might not care.

>>26346594
I vote the second one. Shut up and don't move. No death threats, since well, we're probably going to paralyze and not kill them.

>>26346630
At a glance, could you tell me how being paralyzed looks from being dead?

>>26346661
Because it'd look very different from "dying badly", in the context of the two choices here >>26346594

If you make a threat, you need to be prepared to follow through.

"Mage! Get in here and cut them free!" You shout.

Mage jumps through the slit and swears when he sees the guards and the chains. He drops to the ground and starts on Barney's (the closest) shackles.

{Everyone shut up and don't move.} You snap as you hold onto the Red Crane noble to keep his from collapsing onto his face.

The guards pause and go wide-eyed as a Snake has spoken in the Noble Song.

This maybe will buy you a few moments, but those guards are going to go for Mage or Barney soon. However, right now, the floor is yours.

>>26346692
{Now that I have your attention, you guards drop your weapons. Now.}
then flare spines.

>>26346692
"You three alright? Mumei, those burns not too bad, I hope? And who doesn't tell you a lot?"

>>26346709
That won't work. They don't take orders from you.

Use their confusion to attack.

>>26346720
Not before we figure out what state the people we rescued are in.

>>26346692
(Sit down. Throw your weapons on the ground or this fellow dies.)

>>26346692
{"Now that I have your undivided attention, all weapons on the Table. Now."}

>>26346692
{Weapons down, or you get to watch a Snake eat a juicy chick.}

>>26346709
this and
>>26346716
this

We have a few moments, let's gain some info.

>>26346738
>>26346761
>>26346766
Not going to work. These are their elites. They won't just give up because we have a hostage and we're terrifying.

>>26346814
I don't want to threaten these guys with "eating people" anyway.

>>26346822
Yeah. Mumei is in the room.

>>26346822
Honestly, I don't care how we come across to these people. I just don't want to waste time trying to get them to do something they'll never do when I have pressing concerns about the mental state of our friends.

>>26346838
I don't care what the PE thinks of me either, but I do care how Mumei thinks of me, so professionalism.

Be sure to physically place ourselves between the guards and our friends, so they have to get through us to get to them.

And the worry sets in

>>26347252
Okay, it's officially taken too long. I need sleep.

My plan is that if Mumei, Barney, and Ambrose aren't mindwiped, focus on beating the guards as quickly as possible. If they HAVE been mindwiped, drag out the fight as long as it takes to get a Beacon charge, then direct a lightray at one of their faces. I'd say Mumei, because ladies first.

If that works, continue dragging out the fight and do it to all three. If it doesn't, revert to beating the guards. Drag our friends out bodily if need be. Kill anyone who gets in our way.

Good night and good luck.

>>26347318
well, see you later man. My plan is something vaguely similar, we'll see how it goes.

>>26347366
Killing or Enlightening things is a solid plan. If it isn't broken, don't fix it.

>>26347378
Eh, I hope we can just cut the chains and get out of here quickly and with a minimum of fuss.

Then we can get to the AIRSHIP CHASE

(Apologies.)

{Now that I have your undivided attention, all weapons on the Table. Now.} You say.

There's a pause. {Do it, or you get to watch a Snake eat a juicy chick.}

The Black Owl Noble pulls himself up and looks at the scene.

He frowns and narrows his eyes at you. "You're bluffing." He says in Citadel tongue. "I know what you are. You're one of their sacred warriors, you wouldn't dare kill a helpless man."

{Stand back you idiots.} Owl says. {She's killed worse things and better fighters than you.}

"Kingfisher warned...one moment." He grabs the Blue Crane noble and sits him down in a chair and rests his head on the table. {Don't move nephew.}

"Kingfisher warned me about you." He frowns and looks at Mage. "If your sorcerer keeps doing that, I will have my people attack. They'll kill the bride and the old man before you can get to them. We already have their designs and prototypes."

He's slightly bluffing on that last bit. You can tell by his eyes flicking towards Ambrose. Mumei he doesn't need, but something the old man knows...

>>26347638

"It seems we both have something the other wants then. You'll walk away clean with your people, if we leave with ours. You can always chase us down after we leave, anyway, two birds with one stone. Pardon the saying."

Leave out the fact that they would have to chase us through the sky. Of course, if this is giving stuff away, feel free to say nay.

>>26347889
I say nay. At least not until we figure out what that roll was for, and what they may or may not have done to the people we're trying to rescue.

>>26347889
It's good. Also say, "We'll be holding onto our new friend until we leave, of course. He won't be harmed unless you try something."

>>26347901
I, too, am interested in that roll.

we don't know about possible soulfucking IC though.

"He may be helpless, but he's far from innocent: and by kidnapping my friends, you've made it personal. Your people started this war, and I'm going to finish it.

"Whether any of you live to see that is entirely your decision. Kill them and I won't just kill everyone in this tent. I will kill this entire camp. And may the Light judge, condemn and punish me for it if that is his will."

Barney and Mumei are trying to get you to notice two different things.

Barney is looking not at Black owl, but at his back.

Mumei is looking directly at an unopened wine bottle on the table, then she looks back at him and nods.

Ambrose is nodding at Barney.

"I'm not afraid of you Serpent." He smiles. "And I'm not afraid of the death of this body. As for this war, this is just a matter of calm principle...wait no...poor words that don't translate into your tongue." He smiles. "It comes to this, an empire that has set borders is an Empire that dies. We are the predator and your hodge-podge of elven terrorists, racist xenophobes, and that...horror show you have on the coast? You are our prey. This is nature."

>>26348006
Yeah, but their responses when we arrived are still highly suspect.

I'd forgotten about that device's existence until someone reminded me after the fact, and I STILL thought it was suspicious as fuck.

>>26348023
there's something behind the black owl?
And there's something in the wine bottle?
I am... unsure of what this means. I have 0 ranks in innuendo.

>>26348023
Okay, it's past two in the morning. Someone else sort this shit out.

>>26348050
Owl has a powder weapon held behind his back, methinks.

>>26348050
The best I can tell is that they're planning to ambush Black Owl with the wine bottle?

>>26348063
okay, so the owl has a secret weapon.
>>26348069
But how would that help anything? What could possibly be in the bottle?

>>26348023
... why would the wine be unopened?

I think it comes down to that, but fuck's sake, Echo, we're going to need more than that this late.

>>26348023
It's also nature for predators to die at the hands of their prey. I mean, come on. Those horns and antlers aren't just for show!

>>26348076
Well, if the powder is wet...

>>26348082
... ah. I get it. Smash the bottle, wet the primer charge in the pan, gun doesn't go off.

I like it.

>>26348023
Quick quick bottle to the spine.
"No Owl, YOU are the prey"

>>26348082
And we know basically nothing about guns in general. Besides that, how do you intend to open a wine bottle that is likely tightly corked and have it hit the gun in such a way that it goes down the very small barrel, past the shot and wad, and nulls the powder?

>>26348023
"So, your advice to me at a critical junction is to start conquering your lands instead of merely defending my own? A grand idea, let's drink on it."

Then do the thing with the bottle. I assume smash in such a way that it will make the guy's powder weapon too moist to go off. After that, GUARD THE PRISONERS SHIT

>>26348109
Bottles are made of glass

>>26348104
{"Now. How shall we punish this all too predictable treachery? This one..your nephew if I'm not mistaken?"}

>>26348109
You don't need to get it inside the chamber. Early blackpowder weapons are externally-fired. It's the design's major flaw, and a basic principle that we should be familiar with if we've seen one work EVER.

>>26348023
"you know, it's quite rude to call it a horror show. Doubt you care."

>>26348120
what... treachery? exactly?

"No Owl, YOU are the prey." You say.

"Really?" Owl says.

"It's late and I'm tired." You snap. "But, your advice to me at a critical junction is to start conquering your lands instead of merely defending my own? A grand idea, let's drink on it."

Your tail snaps towards the bottle, at the same time Owl whips out a pistol from behind his back at aims at you.

We probably just mangled the fuck out of his hand too, didn't we?

>>26348275
we basically just did the standard bar-brawl thing of toss a wine bottle into their gun hand so they can't shoot you.

it's REALLY immaterial whether it disarms their gun or smashes their hand.

>>26348275
This is what you get for getting in a fast contest with a lamia

>>26348275
Either that or we got there so fast we had to wait until he finished drawing.

>>26348289
to be fair, apparently most lamia we've run into aren't the fastest- apparently you have to be self aware or trained for the gofasts.

>>26348176
You smash the bottle into his face, he staggers back, glass and wine covering his face, his arm pulls in reflectively, but he's still trying to shoot you.

It's the fact that the gun is so near his face that the misfire does much more damage. Had he fired as normal, the gun probably would have ruined his hand and caused arterial bleeding.

At THIS range however, his nose and his right eye are blown off his face due to the blackpowder misfiring and the gun blowing up, literally, in his face.

You know enough of blackpowder weapons from Barney that THAT was no accident. That was sabotage.

Also, you can clearly smell a familiar poison that was in the wine, from the broken wine bottle in your tail.

Which means that when the Black finally does mix with the Inheritance Powder in the veins, as it's doing now for both the Blue and Red Crane, the blood clots at an amazingly swift rate and the two expire with a slight gurgle and the awful stench of the voided bowels of nobility.

"So...you guys aren't part of the plan, then?" Barney asks as Mage frees him.

"Never mind that!" Mumei shrieks. "Ambrose! Get down!"

The Princess and Ambrose both dive under the tables, and the guards advance.

"Everyone get in here! Now!" Mage yells as he jumps up, pushing Barney down under the table.

>>26348864
You grab and nearly swallow hole a whole fish that's on the table, and do a tail swipe at one of the remaining guards.

You do taste a touch of poison, Inheritance Powder again, nothing you need to worry about.

Roll 1d20+2

Rolled 7

>>26349020
Is it a hit?

>>26349020
Oh, a fish is nice too. Anyway, swipe that guy good.

Hopefully, nobody in our party is going to make fun of us for stealing a fish.

Rolled 14

A hard slash/smack and you have probably broken the guy's ribs and torn open a huge gash in his arm to boot.

The guards are still wasped.

Peri does a double slash.

Mage blasts.

Lea does a double strike.

Tricia continues to control the swarm.

>>26349134
peri and lea are really earning their damn wages.

Which we STILL don't pay them.

>>26349143
As i understand it, they live off our stipend as they are our entourage.

>>26349159
We've not dealt with stipend forever. I think we passed that off to meri to deal with.

We're broke now, aren't we?

>>26349194
I think it is something we have donated unless we come to pick it up.

Yes. Mari knows we won't notice as long as she ensures we keep getting extra rations.

>>26349134
Tricia holds the swarm long enough for Peri to slice off the guard's head, and for Lea to kick said broken rib into the other guard's heart.

They drop to the ground, very much dead.

Mage gets to work freeing the other two.

Barney gets up and looks at you, blood and Black dripping from your smiling mouth as you munch on one of the (decent, but you wouldn't eat them if you had options) meat pies that are on the table. (No poison in these.)

"So, you just took a very intricate plan of assassination, political maneuvering, and backstabbing...and smashed it to pieces in about five minutes." Barney says. Then he hugs you. "Oh, I missed you nut jobs SO much."

"We need to get out of here." Mumei says, when freed. "Kingfisher will be PISSED. He was counting on him," She nods at Blue Crane, dead in his soup. "To be living. Not to mention to keep us as hostage guests."

"Tell me you all didn't give up all of the blackpowder and flying machine secrets." Mari says.

Mumei shakes her head. "They have my prototype, but that's it, and it's calibrated to just work for me and my body type and weight. It'll take them ages to adjust it. I hope. Either way, longer than they'd like."

"They've got the plans for basic rifles and pistols." Barney says. "But the advanced stuff, the quick reloading device, and the chamber bullet designs are safe. Plus the Spell-Shooter advancements I kept quiet about as well."

"What did they want from you Ambrose?" Tricia asks as you all run towards Wagon.

"I'll explain when we get out of here." Ambrose says. "But trust me when I say it's horrible. The Phoenix Empire doesn't just want to conquer the land...it wants to conquer the soul as well."

>>26349208
Broke? Please. We're probably in debt. They'll bury us with the paupers.

>>26349251
And now I must sleep...for what little time there is left. Sorry for the long gap, there was a plumbing issue that has been resolved...for now.

The next thread will be on Friday, August 2nd 5-7pm PST.

May His Light watch over you all.

>>26349278
see you friday! Sorry about stealing your sleep!
>>26349251
>munching on a meat pie while covered in poison and blood
This was a good end to a mission.

>>26349259
>implying we're getting buried
Dying is a luxury for people who don't have debts to pay off.

Echo has a lot of misfortunes. Poor guy.
Also, I feel like we just sort of accidentally killed a few important NPCs. And WHO was setting up this assassination?

Mumei will need to fill us in.

>>26349328
I feel good about ruining all the planing

>>26349328
>Echo has a lot of misfortunes. Poor guy.
Eh, not really. Things just sound much much worse online if you're vague. My woes are much less dramatic, and more time consuming than anything else.

Be worried when I don't have time for this and stop showing up. THEN it's probably serious.

That's just how we roll.

>>26349353
You can't just feel good about ruining just anybody's plans. I mean sure, they usually deserve it, but good plans probably shouldn't be ruined.

Also, we're totally breaking our "use silverware" rules on this one. Barehanding a fish and a meat pie.

>>26349369
>THEN it's probably serious
No, THEN you trigger your dead man's switch and tell us who is holding you up and we go rescue you. Probably from ravening hordes of coyotes.

>>26349374
It was an accident!

>>26349369
go to sleep echo it's super late! Also I hope your woes are less woeful!

>>26349379
What happens in Phoenix War camp, stays in Phoenix War camp.

>>26349379
Hands are kinda busy and we're starving

I quite frankly can't wait for the kingfisher to hear about this. It's gonna be great.
>>26349399
>>26349400
Well, let's be thankful for the small things like how we didn't crush anyone. We'd be even more starving then.

>>26349409
We still need to leave a note

>>26349439
oh i almost forgot.

"Taking food, sorry about guards, didn't know drinks were poisoned, things escalated.

-Snake"
