OOC: I've been asked to bring some more life into this scene so here i come to make merry mayhem!
Reference Picture for this new character: (only looking a bit less stern and a bit more jovial)
IC:
A balding, Jowly, overweight servant in a buff jacket comes trotting (it would never do...
"Hey Lion,
For you information, I have been contacted by a former associate/boss. And I have been put on retainer to kill you. It seems your "Treason" and "Sedition" have made you a liability or something.
Ooh apparently i was a murderer for hire... Shows what you can find out walking around...
Suddenly a large eagle flared it's wings and landed on the shoulder of Lion, and pecked him on the head with some insistence. Closer examination shows the eagle to be carrying a note in its beak folded up, a little scrunched from the flight but otherwise intact.
"Okay guys, that was sort of abrupt, but since you guys obviously don't want me to come along..." Ruby said while waving the tablets around "I guess i'll go do something else... I have to say 1 and 3 on my todo list are doable but i am most definitely not very good at 2..."
"Hmmm how about i...
"Well, I'll go along with whatever you guys deem best... Still dont like the exposure this brings but i can deal with it..."
OOC: Now to find out if Past me is on some kind of "watch list"... Personally i doubt it but ...
After the first couple of Lew comments have been hurled in the direction of Ava Ruby shifts his position from his supplicant role to stand behind Ava. One step Behind her, one step to her left. And makes it a point to walk straight and keep a watchful eye on the surroundings. Suddenly, at least...
As soon as the group is well inside the city and outside the earshot of the guards, The man known to others as Ruby turns to his metallic companions, specifically freeman, and says "well It seems I'm going to need to teach you guys atleast the basics of stealth... Because I am sure i have seen...
works for me, It is the sort of thing i'd pay attention to on reflex if nothing else...
Social Obeservation
4575
I have both investigation and awareness do i roll both or can i only roll one?
If not i'll do it on investigation if i can i've included both rolls.
Investigation:
4577...
OOC: okay that makes some sense, i'd want them a litle closer if i was the defence planner but i can get that... How far behind us, how far to the nearest guard, and are there any archers/ranged weapon dudes on the wall i can see?
EDIT: How desperate are the people in the slums by my gut...
OOC: where are the "many tents and shanties" in this image? i was sort of envisioning a slum being present as stated previously... Full of those annoying lower classes that lower the tone of the place so much presumably...
OOC: I envision this scene as a road with us on it, fairly close to town with a gate of some kind and some guards between us and that gate. On the sides of the road there are some kind of structures, either hovels or possibly some kind of shops/stalls catering to the travelers on this...
Ruby quickly noticed he was going to teach the automaton called "Freeman" a thing or two about stealth, particularly of the "shut up and pretend you know what you are doing variety". But he couldn't really do anything right now...
Ruby seemed to be taking charge of the problem but assuming...
Ruby, figuring he was probably not on anyone's "favorite people in town" list based on what he had managed to figure out about his skill set, decided that discretion was the better part of valor and assumed the role of someone supporting Lion. Like a servant, aide, assistant, supplicant, or...
