Re: MERC XVII: You Can't Take the Pay From Me

”I was there on a job with the client. There were traps, some sort of ancient seal on a magic being based on something or other, and a lot of dead people who hadn’t gotten the memo about their afterlives. We got some loot and left. It was dwarves, though. I don’t remember hearing about the Staff disaster being dwarven. Sounded more like demon stuff.” Krayger says, not quite following Arlem’s story.Spako Highclaws by Ceika.

"Ancient seal? That sounds possibly related. And the staff is connected to demons, but it wasn't made by demons. Honestly, for that sort of important craftsmanship, you almost expect dwarven work."
Arlem shrugs.
"You were there with a partner, right?" And just how did you feel about them?

”I was with someone yes.”
Someone who consistently treated him like a hired meathead and withheld critical information which put him in life threatening danger seemingly on a whim.
He hadn’t enjoyed himself, but she had worked things out in the end. Arlem might get a few flashes of the glimpse he had with her illusions down.Spako Highclaws by Ceika.

"Do you mind telling me a bit about them? I didn't want to bias you, but that's actually how we discovered the tomb as a point of interest in the first place. She stole two things, I traced one of them to that tomb, and the other one is the danger. We have strong suspicions that she's an infiltrator for the demons, running a very complicated game..."
Arlem changes shape to, well, not quite a cloud of marbles. There are thin rods and cables connecting the spheres as they whirl about. But the resemblance should be there, plain to see.

”She had a habit of withholding information from me. I don’t remember what we took from it so you’d have to convince the boss to give you the report. I haven’t heard a single word about her since then.” Krayger says, determined not to jeopardize his superiors instantly with his talk.
But he isn’t lying. He doesn’t remember and he hasn’t heard of her since.Spako Highclaws by Ceika.

Re: MERC XVII: You Can't Take the Pay From Me
The marbles coalesce and take on the shape of a goblin. No one in particular, definitely not Dipsnig.
"Of course. She wouldn't want to risk giving too much away and make this easy for me. But do you happen to recall the name she used?"
Surely he'll think of it, even if he doesn't want to tell.
"Other than that, thank you for your time."

"The boss did, huh? Which do you find you like using the most?" Electra asks, still smiling gently. She hasn't had much chance to interact with Koshal, so this is a good chance to get to know him a little more.Why is it Plan A is always, "Get 'Em!" and Plan B is, "Cause as much collateral damage as possible"?

Rilla's ear twitches and she giggles when Dispnig comes in for a nibble, and she moves to give him a kiss, "I suppose I should go and find this Sam, then?" She's known the Cook's name for a while now, but has never actually spoken to the man.If You need me to post somewhere, drop me a message, please

"I have things to keep me occupied." He replies vaguely. Though it's not all that hard to believe, given his position.
"If you feel that way, sitting her and moaning about it isn't going to do you any favours." Kirk says, more seriously. "If you feel a need to prove yourself, action is the only way to resolve it. Take some initiative."

"Listen, Fade. I'm not here to handhold you, alright? Buck up and find some way to keep busy. Right now you'll need to do that elsewhere. I need to speak to this Liadi." Kirk's a busy man, or so he claims. Fade has used up his chatting time.
If Fade does leave, Kirk will try to find some sort of contact information for Liadi. If she's in the base, he'll ask her to come to his office. If she's elsewhere, perhaps they can chat long distance.

Cassandra will be allowed into Dipsnig's office, although she'll find the goblin absorbed by several blank screens. The fact that they're blank is causing him a lot of grief, by the looks of it. His ears are pointing downwards and his lips reveal more of his teeth than usual when he speaks. Still, he trusts that Cassandra has something important to tell him.

"I'm assuming the situation you have is all of your feeds in Riverside going dead?" Cass asks, her pale eyes flicking to the blank screens as she raises her phone, wiggling it for emphasis.

Re: MERC XVII: You Can't Take the Pay From Me

Cassandra nods, giving Dipsnig a small, vaguely satisfied looking smile. She pockets her phone and pulls out a half-filled vial of water which she unstoppers and flicks from left-to-right in one smooth motion. Rather than making a big wet mess all over Dipsnig's desk, however, the water flows out smoothly, forming a shimmering paper-thin circle that hangs vertically in between then. As soon as the water stops flowing, it freezes over, making a glassy pane of ice that floats in the air. Projected on that pane of ice will be... Riverside. As seen from the north road leading into the city, a little under a mile from city limits.
It probably looks a little grim.Originally Posted by Lord Magtok

Dipsnig lets out a sound that resembles several tap-dancing cockroaches. Or, if Cass happens to speak the language of Dragonbone Colony goblins, some very foul swearwords involving the sexual habits of giant beetles.
"We need to get someone there, right now. Try to re-establish contact. Hopefully Kirk and Dena haven't been hit by whatever's happening down there."Last edited by Morty; 2017-12-21 at 06:42 PM.
