  1. 2013-10-20 18:41:32] <Falconis> The night is cold
  2. [2013-10-20 18:41:38] <Falconis> and the lack of your allies doesn't help
  3. [2013-10-20 18:41:55] <Abram> The lack of allies worries Abram the most. They should have followed. Something happened.
  4. [2013-10-20 18:42:22] * Abram looks over to Harrier, who's still perched on his shoulder. "We're deep in it now buddy. Stay close."
  5. [2013-10-20 18:42:50] <Falconis> The rufflet fluffs it's neck feathers in agreement
  6. [2013-10-20 18:43:07] <Falconis> You have whatever you grabbed before running out of the room
  7. [2013-10-20 18:43:10] <Falconis> what will you do?
  8. [2013-10-20 18:44:28] <Abram> The biggest question of them all. "Shit. Someone's after us, but I don't know what for. We need answers, and more importantly, we need evidence."
  9. [2013-10-20 18:44:56] * Abram idly looks off in the direction the robed figure ran towards.
  10. [2013-10-20 18:45:07] <Abram> "What do you think?"
  11. [2013-10-20 18:45:40] <Falconis> The rufflet shrugs it's...wings
  12. [2013-10-20 18:46:07] <Abram> "Great."
  13. [2013-10-20 18:46:13] <Falconis> And points at the wall? I guess it's the only lead you have
  14. [2013-10-20 18:46:35] <Falconis> The direction the figure ran off in is suspiciously dark, the lights from the palace do not reach here
  15. [2013-10-20 18:46:42] <Abram> "Well, it's something. Keep your eyes out Harrier, we can't get spotted."
  16. [2013-10-20 18:46:42] <Falconis> oddly
  17. [2013-10-20 18:46:55] * Abram prowls slightly as he quietly walks towards the darkness.
  18. [2013-10-20 18:47:12] <Falconis> roll stealth?
  19. [2013-10-20 18:48:04] <Abram> 2d6 IT BEGINS
  20. [2013-10-20 18:48:05] <DiceMaid-9001> Abram, IT BEGINS: 8 [2d6=4,4]
  21. [2013-10-20 18:48:43] <Falconis> You stick as close to the darkness as you can, you aren't an expert but you figure you'd be hard to spot from a distance
  22. [2013-10-20 18:48:49] <Falconis> maybe up close if you're quiet
  23. [2013-10-20 18:49:25] <Falconis> you continue in the same direction, easily following the tracks left behind by the fleet footed runner
  24. [2013-10-20 18:49:28] <Falconis> and in short order
  25. [2013-10-20 18:49:32] <Falconis> you are at the inner wall
  26. [2013-10-20 18:50:11] * Abram observes the area for clues.
  27. [2013-10-20 18:50:15] <Abram> 4d6+4 at least I have this
  28. [2013-10-20 18:50:17] <DiceMaid-9001> Abram, at least I have this: 15 [4d6=1,3,4,3]
  29. [2013-10-20 18:51:14] <Falconis> Abram feels a bit off in the sight area today
  30. [2013-10-20 18:51:21] <Falconis> but it's still enough to see
  31. [2013-10-20 18:51:43] <Falconis> Dirt, fresh dirt markings on the wall. The runner went up, and over
  32. [2013-10-20 18:51:53] <Falconis> took...5 steps?
  33. [2013-10-20 18:51:55] <Falconis> no 4
  34. [2013-10-20 18:52:06] <Falconis> the wall sports slight gouges
  35. [2013-10-20 18:52:18] <Falconis> perhaps climbing equipment of some sort
  36. [2013-10-20 18:53:16] <Abram> "This is no amateur. He came prepared. Probably had his escape plan laid out beforehand."
  37. [2013-10-20 18:53:37] <Falconis> Rufflet...*birdnoises* in agreement
  38. [2013-10-20 18:53:40] <Abram> "Harrier, fly up and perch on top of the wall. Check for another way around, and make sure nobody can see us."
  39. [2013-10-20 18:54:46] <Falconis> The pokemon launches itself to the top of the wall in two flaps of it's powerful wings
  40. [2013-10-20 18:54:52] <Falconis> it lands and looks
  41. [2013-10-20 18:55:43] <Falconis> In a few moments it launches off again and starts flying to the left
  42. [2013-10-20 18:55:46] <Falconis> along the wall
  43. [2013-10-20 18:55:47] <Falconis> >_
  44. [2013-10-20 18:56:06] * Abram stays against the wall as he follows Harrier.
  45. [2013-10-20 18:56:35] <Falconis> The path following the bird takes you back into the flickering light from the palace
  46. [2013-10-20 18:57:19] <Falconis> Stoic sentries patroll the walls and balconies, you can hear the sounds of rushing bodies and shouting voices echoing out
  47. [2013-10-20 18:57:48] <Falconis> apparently your stealth is ok, or the guards wern't looking, because you make it to where rufflet lands without being spotted
  48. [2013-10-20 18:57:50] <Falconis> hopefully
  49. [2013-10-20 18:58:12] <Falconis> Harrier has found a plum tree by the wall, perhaps you can climb it?
  50. [2013-10-20 18:59:04] * Abram talks in a low whisper, barely audible even while near it. "Stay above, let me know if someone gets too close to spotting us."
  51. [2013-10-20 18:59:14] <Falconis> *soft screech*
  52. [2013-10-20 18:59:27] <Abram> And with that he approaches the tree and starts to climb.
  53. [2013-10-20 18:59:53] <Falconis> roll acrobatics
  54. [2013-10-20 19:00:06] <Abram> 2d6
  55. [2013-10-20 19:00:07] <DiceMaid-9001> Abram, 2d6: 7 [2d6=2,5]
  56. [2013-10-20 19:00:21] <Falconis> You manage to climb the tree without breaking anything
  57. [2013-10-20 19:00:32] <Falconis> may have dirtied your suit a bit
  58. [2013-10-20 19:00:39] <Falconis> but sliding out the window did a lot to that anyway
  59. [2013-10-20 19:02:09] <Falconis> (assuming you are going over as well right?)
  60. [2013-10-20 19:02:36] <Abram> (yes)
  61. [2013-10-20 19:03:18] <Falconis> You hop over the wall and land in the shadows on the other side
  62. [2013-10-20 19:03:41] <Falconis> The great expanse of the outer palace yard extends around you
  63. [2013-10-20 19:04:27] <Falconis> Only marching guards with lights of their own and the occasional battle pagoda peirce the uniform darkness of the night
  64. [2013-10-20 19:04:35] <Falconis> Harrier glides back down to your shoulder
  65. [2013-10-20 19:04:36] <Falconis> >_
  66. [2013-10-20 19:05:11] <Abram> "How the hell did that guy make it over the wall anyway." Abram lets out a sigh. "Don't think we can track him through here. Let's just get out of here."
  67. [2013-10-20 19:05:38] * Abram pauses for a moment to check the palace yard, looking for anything of note.
  68. [2013-10-20 19:05:48] <Falconis> PERCEPTION GO
  69. [2013-10-20 19:05:51] <Abram> 4d6+4 assuming anything is visible outside of guards
  70. [2013-10-20 19:05:53] <DiceMaid-9001> Abram, assuming anything is visible outside of guards: 21 [4d6=4,1,6,6]
  71. [2013-10-20 19:06:25] <Falconis> There is a mienfoo
  72. [2013-10-20 19:06:32] <Falconis> sitting in a battle pagoda
  73. [2013-10-20 19:06:34] <Falconis> waiting
  74. [2013-10-20 19:07:09] <Abram> "Sentries."
  75. [2013-10-20 19:08:41] * Abram begins the prowl through the yard.
  76. [2013-10-20 19:08:55] <Falconis> where to? also stealth
  77. [2013-10-20 19:09:14] <Abram> "Keep an eye on those sentries Harrier. If one spots us, you're the best guy to deal with it."
  78. [2013-10-20 19:09:16] <Abram> 2d6
  79. [2013-10-20 19:09:17] <DiceMaid-9001> Abram, 2d6: 2 [2d6=1,1]
  80. [2013-10-20 19:09:24] <Falconis> ...
  81. [2013-10-20 19:09:36] <Falconis> direction
  82. [2013-10-20 19:10:01] <Abram> Out of the area, so straight ahead I'm guessing.
  83. [2013-10-20 19:10:29] <Falconis> You prowl off into the night, but it looks like your luck has abandoned you
  84. [2013-10-20 19:11:22] <Falconis> Within seconds of leaving the wall, a cacaphony of barks sound
  85. [2013-10-20 19:13:07] <Falconis> Two guards run in your direction, following their Poochhyena
  86. [2013-10-20 19:13:24] <Falconis> as they draw close they spot you and raise up a cry "Hey you, stop right there"
  87. [2013-10-20 19:13:25] <Falconis> >_
  88. [2013-10-20 19:14:02] <Abram> "Well, at least we can get some answers." Abram raises his hands. "Not going anywhere. So, you mind telling me what the hell's going on?"
  89. [2013-10-20 19:15:59] <Falconis> The guards run up to you, commanding their growling poochyena to heel
  90. [2013-10-20 19:16:39] <Falconis> "I could ask you the same, why are you on palace grounds this late at night. You know the battlegrounds are closed at 7pm"
  91. [2013-10-20 19:17:07] <Falconis> [Guard 2]"Breaking of curfew is a serious offence you know"
  92. [2013-10-20 19:17:17] <Falconis> [Pooch]*bark*
  93. [2013-10-20 19:18:48] <Abram> Seems they don't know either. "My sincerest apologies. Unfortunately, I'm needed outside the palace grounds, and nobody was around to escort me. So I took matters into my own hands." Abram lets out a sigh. "Foolishly."
  94. [2013-10-20 19:19:16] <Falconis> ...roll guile
  95. [2013-10-20 19:19:21] <Falconis> >inb4
  96. [2013-10-20 19:19:24] <Abram> 4d6+6
  97. [2013-10-20 19:19:25] <DiceMaid-9001> Abram, 4d6+6: 20 [4d6=1,4,6,3]
  98. [2013-10-20 19:22:12] <Falconis> The guards nod, this seems perfectly sensible
  99. [2013-10-20 19:22:26] <Falconis> "Bah, silly visitors, always with the antics"
  100. [2013-10-20 19:22:37] <Falconis> "The other one, the Russian did this as well"
  101. [2013-10-20 19:22:48] <Falconis> "We might have to start putting signs up"
  102. [2013-10-20 19:23:01] <Falconis> "Jeez, what kind of manners are they teaching foreigners"
  103. [2013-10-20 19:23:19] <Falconis> one of the guards beckons you over, calming his Pooch with a word
  104. [2013-10-20 19:23:36] * Abram just stands a bit sheepishly, CLEARLY embarrassed, before walking over to the guard.
  105. [2013-10-20 19:23:39] <Falconis> "Come come, I will escort you off the grounds, but make sure you use the /gate/ when you return"
  106. [2013-10-20 19:23:55] <Abram> "Of course. Thank you, and my apologies once again."
  107. [2013-10-20 19:31:46] <Falconis> The guards lead you across the dark outer yard, a journey that takes almost half an hour thanks to the distance and release you through the gate
  108. [2013-10-20 19:31:52] <Falconis> you are outside the palce grounds
  109. [2013-10-20 19:33:05] * Abram brushes himself off a bit before walking off, away from the palace.
  110. [2013-10-20 19:33:38] <Abram> "Well, we're not in any danger. At least for right now. Are you alright Harrier?"
  111. [2013-10-20 19:34:10] <Falconis> The bird seems completely fine, though he was getting ready to wing some dog rear end
  112. [2013-10-20 19:35:47] <Abram> "Alright, time to figure out what's next." Abram looks at the surroundings, trying to figure out just where he is.
  113. [2013-10-20 19:56:23] <Falconis> You stand outside the Jade palace, 15 minutes out by car from Beijing proper, Giant walls extend in either direction as far as the eyes can see and a solid looking gate is at your back
  114. [2013-10-20 19:56:28] <Falconis> there are trees ERRYWHERE
  115. [2013-10-20 19:56:30] <Falconis> and a path
  116. [2013-10-20 19:56:35] <Falconis> leading out
  117. [2013-10-20 19:56:52] <Falconis> You have a bird on your shoulder
  118. [2013-10-20 19:57:45] * Abram starts walking down the path, as it's less likely to cause suspicion.
  119. [2013-10-20 19:58:09] <Abram> "Keep your eyes peeled Harrier. He might've come this way, especially if what that guard said is true."

  123. [2013-10-20 20:03:18] <Falconis> You spot a roll of black cloth on the side of the path
  124. [2013-10-20 20:03:27] <Falconis> and tire tracks in the softer dirt
  125. [2013-10-20 20:05:08] <Abram> This causes Abram to stop in his tracks. "Shit. They REALLY had this figured out." He walks over and snatches up the black cloth, examining it.

  127. [2013-10-20 20:06:34] <Falconis> it matches the strip you found before
  128. [2013-10-20 20:07:43] <Abram> "Well, I hope you're not tired Harrier." Abram looks up, staring down the path. "Because we're going to Beijing."
  129. [2013-10-20 20:08:17] <Abram> He snaps a picture of the cloth and tire tracks together, then continues to the city.

  131. [2013-10-20 20:08:59] <Falconis> walkin?
  132. [2013-10-20 20:10:11] <Abram> Yes, since I doubt the Blitzle is big enough to ride yet.
  133. [2013-10-20 20:11:16] <Falconis> Abram walks
  134. [2013-10-20 20:11:20] <Falconis> into the great unknown
  135. [2013-10-20 20:11:34] <Falconis> well, he follows the road till his hits the city
  136. [2013-10-20 20:11:41] <Falconis> you have hit the city of Beijing
  137. [2013-10-20 20:11:52] <Falconis> The city is lively
  138. [2013-10-20 20:12:06] <Falconis> even in the dead of night, people walk up and down, going about their business
  139. [2013-10-20 20:12:26] <Falconis> Peddlers sit under glowing neon signs, peddling pokemon and pokemon stimulants
  140. [2013-10-20 20:12:57] * Abram looks down at his dirty suit, frowns slightly, then continues walking.
  141. [2013-10-20 20:13:12] <Falconis> Vivacious women speak out to passing gentlemen, advertizing a fight show coming up
  142. [2013-10-20 20:14:00] <Falconis> Abram of the peerless sense of direction continues moving forward
  143. [2013-10-20 20:15:39] <Falconis> any location in mind Abram ? or just walking?
  144. [2013-10-20 20:16:54] <Abram> Just walking for now, although I'm keeping an eye out for anywhere social, like bars and such.
  145. [2013-10-20 20:17:19] <Falconis> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkdf6IremLc
  146. [2013-10-20 20:17:46] <Falconis> As you walk through the city, the jumbled sounds of city life tickle your ears in waves
  147. [2013-10-20 20:18:12] <Falconis> laughing people, fighting people, lively instruments, the clinking of pottery
  148. [2013-10-20 20:18:44] <Falconis> you are propositioned by no less than 3 salesmen offering 'su jon hi' some manner of item in a packet
  149. [2013-10-20 20:18:50] <Falconis> there are a multitude of bars
  150. [2013-10-20 20:19:40] <Falconis> you can take your pick, from the easy local slackoff to the prestigious dragonir dreams
  151. [2013-10-20 20:20:01] <Falconis> or if you desire, the Diry Jinx is also around
  152. [2013-10-20 20:20:04] <Falconis> dirty*
  153. [2013-10-20 20:20:14] <Abram> "Busy place." Abram heads for the Dragonair Dreams. His suit may be dirty, but it's still a suit.
  154. [2013-10-20 20:21:55] <Falconis> The door guard takes one look at your suit and looks like he's going to stop you, but then he takes a gander at your face and surprisingly lets you through
  155. [2013-10-20 20:22:48] * Abram gives a nod to the guard as he heads inside.
  156. [2013-10-20 20:28:01] <Falconis> You are hit by a cool breeze as you enter the dragonair dreams
  157. [2013-10-20 20:29:04] <Falconis> The DD is a subtle mixture of chinese and western architecture, with underlying dragon type influences
  158. [2013-10-20 20:30:08] <Falconis> The Lights are dim and the entire place is made of rich looking wood. Private booths are stocked into the sides of the building, while open tables surround a stage where a wispy chinese woman sings
  159. [2013-10-20 20:30:35] <Falconis> Right by the door is a sit down bar, with a bartender in a suit cleaning glasses
  160. [2013-10-20 20:30:48] <Falconis> There are a lot of people here, almost every table has a patron or two
  161. [2013-10-20 20:30:56] <Falconis> no telling about the private booths
  162. [2013-10-20 20:31:10] <Falconis> 2 men sit by the bar, they don't seem to be together
  163. [2013-10-20 20:31:11] * Abram stops for a moment to look for familiar faces.
  164. [2013-10-20 20:31:18] <Falconis> rollu rollu
  165. [2013-10-20 20:31:24] <Abram> 4d6+4 ROLLU
  166. [2013-10-20 20:31:25] <DiceMaid-9001> Abram, ROLLU: 17 [4d6=1,4,5,3]
  167. [2013-10-20 20:33:20] <Falconis> Abram isn't hitting all sixes tonight
  168. [2013-10-20 20:33:26] <Falconis> but he does notice something
  169. [2013-10-20 20:33:32] <Falconis> A Gallade
  170. [2013-10-20 20:33:36] <Falconis> a familiar Gallade
  171. [2013-10-20 20:33:42] <Falconis> the Gallade that drove you here
  172. [2013-10-20 20:34:00] <Falconis> is nursing a drink at one of the center tables
  173. [2013-10-20 20:34:00] <Abram> (is he alone?)
  174. [2013-10-20 20:34:06] <Falconis> he is alone, yes
  175. [2013-10-20 20:34:22] * Abram makes his way over to the Gallade and takes a seat next to him.
  176. [2013-10-20 20:34:53] <Abram> "Good evening. I didn't expect to meet you here."
  177. [2013-10-20 20:37:00] <Falconis> The gallade blinks twice and then answers you mentally
  178. [2013-10-20 20:37:29] <Falconis> <Nor I you, American. Why do you come to a place such as this, when the bounties of the palace are open to you?>
  179. [2013-10-20 20:38:28] <Abram> <Something has happened.> Abram lets out a large sigh, finally relieved to be sitting.
  180. [2013-10-20 20:39:43] <Abram> <Someone was attacked in the palace. A figure in a black robe did it, and with the sword of one of my allies. And now I don't know what happened to them.>
  181. [2013-10-20 20:40:01] * Abram looks around for a moment, then brings the black cloth out and onto the tabletop.
  182. [2013-10-20 20:40:25] <Abram> <I've been trying to find answers ever since.>
  183. [2013-10-20 20:41:42] <Falconis> The Gallade grimaces <That means that my partner Yu may also be in trouble.>
  184. [2013-10-20 20:42:07] <Falconis> <That is the cloth of the reaper, this is the fabric you discovered?>
  185. [2013-10-20 20:42:35] <Abram> <It is. I found a strip of it while leaving the palace, and the rest of it heaped along the road outside the gate.>
  186. [2013-10-20 20:43:35] <Abram> <Whoever did it had it all figured out. Black robes to conceal themselves. Climbing tools to go over the palace walls. There were tire tracks outside as well, so it's likely they disrobed and drove away.> Abram leans forward slightly. <To here, Beijing.>
  187. [2013-10-20 20:44:18] <Falconis> The Gallade swirls it's glass of Burbon on the rocks and takes a gulp
  188. [2013-10-20 20:44:31] <Falconis> <If what you say is true, then something is strange>
  189. [2013-10-20 20:44:49] <Falconis> <If they were so careful to prepare everything, why would they leave the cloth there?>
  190. [2013-10-20 20:45:41] <Abram> This causes Abram to pause for a moment. <I don't know. This doesn't add up.>
  191. [2013-10-20 20:45:59] <Falconis> He narrows his eyes and nods
  192. [2013-10-20 20:46:18] <Falconis> <it would seem that you are missing some pieces, perhaps you know someone that can help?>
  193. [2013-10-20 20:47:20] <Abram> <The only person I can think of is General Bohai. We spoke already, and we both have an interest in figuring out what's happening in the court.>
  194. [2013-10-20 20:47:48] <Abram> <Where would he be? I'm guessing he left the palace already, like the other generals.>
  195. [2013-10-20 20:48:08] <Falconis> The Gallade freezes for just a moment as you mention the general before taking a slow, thoughtful sip of his Burbon
  196. [2013-10-20 20:49:22] <Falconis> <The General. Bohai. Diplomat Yuu had some concerns about him...but he may be your only chance. I hear he has a home in Taijin, near the coast where we picked you up. He may have returned there>
  197. [2013-10-20 20:50:37] <Falconis> Tianjin*
  198. [2013-10-20 20:51:11] <Abram> <At least I know the way. Somewhat.> Abram pauses for another moment. <I could use your help, if you're willing to give it. Do you have a car?>
  199. [2013-10-20 20:54:34] <Falconis> <I...have the diplomatic transport... but I would like to go and see Yu. I would feel bad if I didn't help him>
  200. [2013-10-20 20:54:41] <Falconis> he stares down into his glass, frowning
  201. [2013-10-20 20:55:04] * Abram frowns as well.
  202. [2013-10-20 20:55:46] <Abram> <We... can't. At least not yet. The palace is in full alert, and I haven't heard from them at all. You might be walking into a trap.>
  203. [2013-10-20 20:56:16] <Abram> <I won't stop if you want to go. But I don't know what you'll find there.>
  204. [2013-10-20 20:56:36] <Abram> (I won't stop you if you want to go.*)
  205. [2013-10-20 20:57:03] <Falconis> He taps his...tonfa hands on the table
  206. [2013-10-20 20:58:19] <Falconis> <I..will come with you. I feel this is what Yu would have wanted. I will transport you where you wish to go"
  207. [2013-10-20 20:58:44] <Falconis> >
  208. [2013-10-20 20:59:30] <Abram> <Thank you. We'll talk with Bohai, then figure out what to do next.> Abram looks down at his suit, and frowns a bit again. <Do you, uhh, know where I could get some fresh clothes?>
  209. [2013-10-20 21:01:49] <Falconis> He nods <I always carry spares>
  210. [2013-10-20 21:01:57] <Falconis> <follow me in 2 minutes>
  211. [2013-10-20 21:02:17] <Falconis> Without further word and without finishing his drink, the Gallade rises and calmly leaves the bar
  212. [2013-10-20 21:03:10] * Abram lets out another sigh as he leans back into the chair, trying to relax.
  213. [2013-10-20 21:04:00] <Abram> He waits for a couple minutes before leaving the bar himself, not bothering with any drinks.
  214. [2013-10-20 21:05:02] <Falconis> The Gallade is nowhere in sight but your mind tingles with directions
  215. [2013-10-20 21:05:41] <Abram> The tingling is a very odd sensation. Nonetheless, Abram follows them.
  216. [2013-10-20 21:07:38] <Falconis> The directions lead you to the limosine you came in, sparkling clean
  217. [2013-10-20 21:07:54] <Falconis> The Gallade gets into the drivers seat as you break the corner
  218. [2013-10-20 21:08:15] * Abram lightly pats the top of the limo before climbing into the back.
  219. [2013-10-20 21:17:27] <Falconis> The limo drives off and you are on your way to Tainjin
  220. [2013-10-20 21:17:32] <Falconis> talking or skip drive?
  221. [2013-10-20 21:18:25] <Abram> (just a little bit of talking, not too much)
  222. [2013-10-20 21:19:54] <Abram> <Good to finally talk to you. Jun, right? I was too focused on the diplomacy to remember much on the ride to the palace.>
  223. [2013-10-20 21:20:37] <Falconis> <Understandable, you had much to digest, Mr. Cameron>
  224. [2013-10-20 21:21:15] <Abram> <If you don't mind, I have one last question until we get there.>
  225. [2013-10-20 21:21:31] <Abram> <General Bohai. I don't mean any disrespect when I ask this, but... is there something I should know about him?>
  226. [2013-10-20 21:22:35] <Abram> <When I talked to him at the banquet, there was this feeling of... wrongness in the air. He was trying to hide something when we were finishing our discussion. And you locked up a bit when I mentioned his name.>
  227. [2013-10-20 21:23:08] <Falconis> The Gallade drives in silence for a minute
  228. [2013-10-20 21:23:27] <Falconis> You are heading out of the city, unto rougher roads when you finally hear an answer
  229. [2013-10-20 21:24:25] <Falconis> <General Bohai. He is an Elementalist of great skill and power. He defended the nation for a long time, no one has landed on the coasts in violence since he has been it's guard>
  230. [2013-10-20 21:24:36] <Falconis> <All this, yu told you on the way in, I remember>
  231. [2013-10-20 21:24:49] <Falconis> <There are some things he didn't tell you however>
  232. [2013-10-20 21:25:07] * Abram listens intently.
  233. [2013-10-20 21:26:16] <Falconis> <General Bohai is a widower. His wife was killed by raiders while he was out on mission one day. It seems that various sentries were paid off and mongol raiders ran rampant across the land for some time.>
  234. [2013-10-20 21:26:47] <Falconis> <By the time news got out, several villages had been burnt to the ground, his own among them. His wife and child were there>
  235. [2013-10-20 21:27:18] <Falconis> <ever since he has been in mourning, secluding himself in his families temple when not required to go on official duty>
  236. [2013-10-20 21:27:50] * Abram frowns quite a bit as he listens to the story.
  237. [2013-10-20 21:27:57] <Falconis> <He used to be a bright, friendly man, he summoned rain for farmers, blessed children, tamed pokemon>
  238. [2013-10-20 21:28:16] <Falconis> <what you have no doubt seen is a but a shell of the former man>
  239. [2013-10-20 21:28:21] <Falconis> >_
  240. [2013-10-20 21:29:17] <Abram> <I... wow. And that aura, it comes from his sorrow?>
  241. [2013-10-20 21:29:49] <Falconis> <Likely, he carries quite the burden on his shoulders. I have never been in his presence so I cannot say for certain>
  242. [2013-10-20 21:31:05] <Abram> <He lost it all to bribery, to bandits who only wanted to the destruction of his home.>
  243. [2013-10-20 21:31:32] * Abram pauses for a moment, then sighs once again. <He won't stand for this.>
  244. [2013-10-20 21:32:08] <Falconis> <what do you mean?>
  245. [2013-10-20 21:32:11] <Abram> <At the banquet, we agreed to help one another to find the truth. To figure out just what's happening in the court. The death of former diplomat Yuu was a clear indicator already, but this...>
  246. [2013-10-20 21:32:48] <Abram> <Someone's playing us. I think it's the russians, but I don't know for sure.>
  247. [2013-10-20 21:33:31] <Abram> <What the hell happened back there? How did everything fall apart that quickly?> It seems Abram's thoughts have turned into self-reflecting.
  248. [2013-10-20 21:34:02] <Falconis> The Gallade politely does not interfere with your musings and instead drives you to your destination

  253. [2013-10-20 21:37:49] <Falconis> The minutes tick away as you head towards Tianjin, the soft pitter patter of rain on the roof of the car
  254. [2013-10-20 21:38:37] <Abram> <Jun, I know this isn't exactly your area of expertise, but... is it possible to send a wire back to my base?>
  255. [2013-10-20 21:38:53] <Abram> <This mission has turned into a mess. We might be able to save it, but the boys at home should know.>
  256. [2013-10-20 21:39:10] <Falconis> You feel, hesistation in your mind
  257. [2013-10-20 21:39:14] <Falconis> it tastes purple
  258. [2013-10-20 21:39:21] <Falconis> <I will try>
  259. [2013-10-20 21:39:33] <Abram> <Thank you.>
  260. [2013-10-20 21:39:54] <Falconis> In short order you have arrived in Tianjin and Jun stops in front of a dark, old wooden structure by the northern outskirts.
  261. [2013-10-20 21:39:55] * Abram remains silent for the rest of the journey, using the time to change into fresh clothes and to think.
  262. [2013-10-20 21:40:47] <Falconis> The rain has restrained itself to a light drizzle, Jun silently mourns the clean car
  263. [2013-10-20 21:42:06] * Abram steps out of the car and brushes himself off again, now in a new set of attire. He gives a nod to Jun before heading into the structure.
  264. [2013-10-20 21:42:07] * DiceMaid-9001 gets out of the car
  265. [2013-10-20 21:42:50] <Abram> <Are you coming along or staying with the vehicle?>
  266. [2013-10-20 21:43:46] <Falconis> <I will remain. There are undesirables about, and diplomatic flags sell for high prices>
  267. [2013-10-20 21:43:57] <Abram> <Understood.>
  268. [2013-10-20 21:49:07] <Falconis> >_
  269. [2013-10-20 21:49:55] * Abram heads into the wooden structure.
  270. [2013-10-20 21:52:06] <Falconis> You head up the stairs into the old temple, the door opens with a loud creeeeeak
  271. [2013-10-20 21:53:36] * Abram cringes slightly as he slips inside, looking around.
  272. [2013-10-20 21:53:37] <Falconis> The inside is dark, you can barely make out some sort of symbol in the floor.
  273. [2013-10-20 21:53:55] <Falconis> It seems this is the temple main area where people would come to worship or just visit
  274. [2013-10-20 21:54:39] <Falconis> beyond, across a grassy disc is another building, looking more cared for, homely. soft candlelight shines through cracks in the walls and roof slats
  275. [2013-10-20 21:55:16] <Abram> "Maybe I should've knocked." Abram starts heading towards the candlelit building.
  276. [2013-10-20 21:56:09] <Falconis> You head through the open grassy section, getting some more water on your borrowed suit
  277. [2013-10-20 21:56:17] <Falconis> which fits comfortably by the way
  278. [2013-10-20 21:56:19] <Falconis> who knew
  279. [2013-10-20 21:56:36] <Abram> One of Abram's hands reaches up and pets Harrier. How long has he been riding on his shoulder now? Nobody knows.
  280. [2013-10-20 21:56:48] <Falconis> he also has a suit
  281. [2013-10-20 21:56:52] <Falconis> well, just a tie
  282. [2013-10-20 21:56:58] <Abram> It'll do.
  283. [2013-10-20 21:57:19] <Falconis> In a manner of seconds you have reached the candlelit building, sliding doors are the only thing blocking your path
  284. [2013-10-20 21:57:32] * Abram walks up to the building's door and gives a firm knock.
  285. [2013-10-20 21:59:05] <Falconis> Silence answers you. You wait in the rain for a few moments and just as you feel like knocking again, the door slides open a few inches
  286. [2013-10-20 21:59:18] <Falconis> a wave of unease hits you in your stomach
  287. [2013-10-20 21:59:39] <Falconis> a shaky female voice sounds [???]"Yes? Who is it?"
  288. [2013-10-20 22:00:20] <Abram> "Abram Cameron, assistant of Diplomat Yu. I came to speak with General Bohai, would he have me."
  289. [2013-10-20 22:04:49] <Falconis> [???]"A diplomat? Bohai mentioned a diplomat earlier... come come in"
  290. [2013-10-20 22:05:39] <Falconis> The door slides fully open and an old lady in blue silk robes with patterned Kyogre swimming across the surface ushers you into the building
  291. [2013-10-20 22:06:02] <Abram> A bow is given to the woman before entering. That's what they do around these parts, right?
  292. [2013-10-20 22:06:14] <Falconis> something like that
  293. [2013-10-20 22:06:25] <Falconis> She points a crooked old finger down the hallway of the old house to a room with candlelight "Bohai is in there"
  294. [2013-10-20 22:06:43] <Falconis> she presses her hand on your shoulder and then shuffles off toward another room
  295. [2013-10-20 22:07:15] <Abram> "Thank you." Abram heads down the hallway and to the room. He moves a bit slowly due to the unsettling presence in the air.
  296. [2013-10-20 22:09:22] <Falconis> You slowly make your way to the room. The room is bare save a simple bed of straw with a sheet flung over it. Bohai sits cross legged in the middle of the room, facing the flickering fire of a candle
  297. [2013-10-20 22:09:43] <Falconis> The light casts dark, larger than life shadows against the wall
  298. [2013-10-20 22:09:45] <Falconis> >_
  299. [2013-10-20 22:11:45] <Abram> "Greetings General Bohai. I'm not intruding, am I?"
  300. [2013-10-20 22:21:13] <Falconis> "...Mr. Cameron. We meet again so soon?"
  301. [2013-10-20 22:22:49] <Abram> "I'm afraid so. There have been... developments in the palace."
  302. [2013-10-20 22:23:04] * Abram looks around the room. "Do you mind if I sit down?"
  303. [2013-10-20 22:24:01] <Falconis> "Please"
  304. [2013-10-20 22:24:17] <Falconis> he sweeps his hand indicating the whole room
  305. [2013-10-20 22:24:32] <Falconis> "sit anywhere you wish, I am sorry I cannot offer you a chair at this time"
  306. [2013-10-20 22:24:40] * Abram takes a seat on the floor next to Bohai.
  307. [2013-10-20 22:25:00] <Abram> "Don't worry, it's fine." With that, Abram pulls out the black cloth and places it on the ground in front of him.
  308. [2013-10-20 22:25:26] <Abram> "Someone was attacked in the palace. And I think my fellow diplomats and I have been framed for it."
  309. [2013-10-20 22:26:02] <Falconis> Bohai sighs
  310. [2013-10-20 22:26:29] <Falconis> "So it's begun then"
  311. [2013-10-20 22:27:09] <Abram> "It seems so."
  312. [2013-10-20 22:27:52] <Abram> "I followed the attacker for as long as I could. He used climbing equipment to scale the palace walls, got outside to the gate, and left in a vehicle."
  313. [2013-10-20 22:28:03] <Abram> "This was planned very carefully."
  314. [2013-10-20 22:28:30] * Abram gestures to the robe. "Beyond a couple undeveloped photos, that's all I could find."
  315. [2013-10-20 22:28:50] <Falconis> "Yes, yes it was. But it seems we were too sloppy."
  316. [2013-10-20 22:29:14] <Falconis> "Curse your resourcefulness Mr. Cameron, this may have ended quietly without you"
  317. [2013-10-20 22:29:38] <Falconis> Bohai looks up at you, his gaze finally leaving the flickering flame of the candle
  318. [2013-10-20 22:29:56] * Abram turns to look at Bohai himself, and it begins to turn into a glare.
  319. [2013-10-20 22:32:24] <Falconis> Bohai's face is serious and without compassion
  320. [2013-10-20 22:32:25] <Abram> "So now what Bohai? Going to tie up the loose ends?"
  321. [2013-10-20 22:32:54] <Falconis> "I am sorry, Mr. Cameron, this is the way it must be"
  322. [2013-10-20 22:33:04] <Falconis> He raises his hand and points at you
  323. [2013-10-20 22:33:06] <Falconis> >_
  324. [2013-10-20 22:33:40] <Abram> Abram quickly draws his firearm and points it at Bohai. "How fitting. The betrayed becomes the betrayer."
  325. [2013-10-20 22:34:32] <Abram> "It was the Empress, wasn't it? All some sort of mad seize at power while you had a scapegoat?"
  326. [2013-10-20 22:35:45] <Falconis> Bohai grimaces "You know nothing. You do not know the pain this child has cost me, what I have had to bear. For me this is not about power, no no, nothing so petty as that"
  327. [2013-10-20 22:36:18] <Falconis> He sweeps his hand and a jet of water shoots from outside the door at you
  328. [2013-10-20 22:36:24] <Falconis> reaction?
  329. [2013-10-20 22:37:02] <Abram> A loud BANG resounds as Abram opens fire. Harrier is the only one who spots the jet of water in time, and he quickly moves to intercept.
  330. [2013-10-20 22:37:06] <Abram> 1d20 gunshot
  331. [2013-10-20 22:37:07] <DiceMaid-9001> Abram, gunshot: 10 [1d20=10]
  332. [2013-10-20 22:37:25] <Abram> 1d8+14 damage
  333. [2013-10-20 22:37:25] <DiceMaid-9001> Abram, damage: 19 [1d8=5]

  335. [2013-10-20 22:37:51] <DiceMaid-9001> Abram, Harrier's check to intercept: 6 [2d6=2,4]
  336. [2013-10-20 22:38:09] <Abram> (probably passes since he's right on top of Abram)
  337. [2013-10-20 22:39:11] <Falconis> Harrier takes the water gun to the wings

  339. [2013-10-20 22:39:52] <DiceMaid-9001> Falconis, simple waters: 23 [1d8=6]
  340. [2013-10-20 22:40:33] <Abram> The water mostly just soaks the bird, though he's slightly winded by it.
  341. [2013-10-20 22:40:35] <Falconis> The bullet scrapes bohai in the face, drawing a line of blood and the Elementalist clenches his fist
  342. [2013-10-20 22:40:38] <Falconis> engage?
  343. [2013-10-20 22:41:00] <Abram> Fuck no. Abram snatches Harrier up and darts for the exit.
  344. [2013-10-20 22:41:16] <Abram> <Jun, Bohai's in on it! Get the car ready, we've got to go!>
  345. [2013-10-20 22:42:09] <Falconis> "You won't escape me Cameron"

  354. [2013-10-20 22:46:16] <Abram> The strike mostly glances off Abram's armor, and he keeps running.
  355. [2013-10-20 22:47:29] <Falconis> You run outside the house and tear down the pathway, Bohai hot on your heels
  356. [2013-10-20 22:47:39] <Falconis> surprisingly sure of his steps for a blind man
  357. [2013-10-20 22:48:18] <Falconis> "Stop and this will be painless Cameron"
  358. [2013-10-20 22:48:21] <Falconis> >_
  359. [2013-10-20 22:50:21] <Falconis> You keep running, getting through the wet clearing with barely a slip, it seems the rain has not made such a trip disastrous as yet
  360. [2013-10-20 22:50:29] <Falconis> You reach the great heavy door
  361. [2013-10-20 22:50:30] <Falconis> wat do
  362. [2013-10-20 22:50:52] <Abram> "Like hell I'm gonna stop! I don't know what conspiracy you have going on with the rest of your government, and I'm sure as hell not gonna stand here and be blamed for it!"
  363. [2013-10-20 22:51:09] * Abram rushes at the door and shoves it open.
  364. [2013-10-20 22:51:36] <Abram> <Jun, I hope to god you're out there!>
  365. [2013-10-20 22:52:28] <Falconis> The door opens, revealing the Limousine on and ready to roll
  366. [2013-10-20 22:52:34] <Falconis> <Hurry>
  367. [2013-10-20 22:53:30] * Abram heads for the limo as quickly as his feet will take him.

  372. [2013-10-20 22:54:07] <Abram> MMMMMM
  373. [2013-10-20 22:54:55] <Falconis> Abram fails to sexily run down the wet steps at top speed and slips on the first one
  374. [2013-10-20 22:55:10] <Falconis> You crack your head on the step and slide down the rest unceremoniously
  375. [2013-10-20 22:55:14] <Falconis> lose 5HP
  376. [2013-10-20 22:55:28] <Abram> "SHIT."
  377. [2013-10-20 22:55:41] <Falconis> Bohai bursts out behind you, riding on a spout of water
  378. [2013-10-20 22:56:04] <Falconis> "You will not escape me"
  379. [2013-10-20 22:56:26] * Abram stumbles back onto his feet and tries to keep moving.
  380. [2013-10-20 22:57:05] <Falconis> Bohai jumps off the waterspout, twisting in the air as it comes crashing down on you and the limo

  382. [2013-10-20 22:57:10] <DiceMaid-9001> Falconis, water water waterfall: 1 [1d20=1]
  383. [2013-10-20 22:57:26] <Falconis> The water misses completely, divine providence must be on your side
  384. [2013-10-20 22:57:51] * Abram seizes the opportunity and jumps in the car.
  385. [2013-10-20 22:57:58] <Falconis> Bohai lands on the ground, making nary a splash
  386. [2013-10-20 22:58:28] <Falconis> As soon as you are halfway in the car, Jun floors the accelerator and speeds off
  387. [2013-10-20 22:58:39] <Abram> "Go to hell Bohai! And when you get there, look at your dead family and remember who you WERE!"

  393. [2013-10-20 23:00:17] <Falconis> Jun slides the limo around the roaring surge of water Bohai shoots at you as you speed off
  394. [2013-10-20 23:00:36] <Falconis> the Limo turns the corner and Bohai goes out of sight
  395. [2013-10-20 23:01:17] <Falconis> >_
  396. [2013-10-20 23:01:20] * Abram slams his head and back against the seat, panting.
  397. [2013-10-20 23:01:39] <Abram> <He was in on it. He was fucking in on it.>
  398. [2013-10-20 23:02:43] <Falconis> <That's...regrettable. Are you alright Mr. Cameron?>
  399. [2013-10-20 23:02:55] <Falconis> The rain grows heavier
  400. [2013-10-20 23:03:06] <Falconis> As if the heavens themselves weep
  401. [2013-10-20 23:03:08] <Abram> <Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks for the save Jun. I wouldn't be alive if you weren't here.>
  402. [2013-10-20 23:04:05] <Falconis> <It is my pleasure Mr. Cameron.>
  403. [2013-10-20 23:04:24] <Falconis> <Where shall we go?>
  404. [2013-10-20 23:05:14] <Abram> <Beijing would be my first choice, but... well, do you think they can find us there?>
  405. [2013-10-20 23:05:56] <Falconis> <The generals are known for their competence Mr. Cameron, I believe they could find us anywhere in china. Assuming they are all in on 'it'>
  406. [2013-10-20 23:06:39] <Abram> <Then Beijing it is. At least we can find people there.>
  407. [2013-10-20 23:07:18] <Falconis> Lightning flashes and thunder booms as the storm grows stronger, It's all jun can do to keep the car on the road with all this water
  408. [2013-10-20 23:07:27] <Falconis> The sky grows bright
  409. [2013-10-20 23:07:31] <Falconis> behind you
  410. [2013-10-20 23:08:20] <Falconis> >_
  411. [2013-10-20 23:09:48] * Abram idly looks back at the bright sky.
  412. [2013-10-20 23:09:58] <Abram> <It's all pretty ominous, don't you think?>

  416. [2013-10-20 23:11:05] <Falconis> Silhouetted in what you quickly realize is still the night sky, is the large body of a serpentine creature, a glowing orb of power in it's mouth, and the figure of a man standing above it
  417. [2013-10-20 23:12:01] <Abram> <What the hell?! Jun, we're being tailed by some kind of serpent!>
  418. [2013-10-20 23:12:45] * Abram squints his eyes, trying to make out the man on the serpent.
  419. [2013-10-20 23:13:05] <Falconis> It is Bohai
  420. [2013-10-20 23:13:14] <Falconis> the hyperbeam fires
  421. [2013-10-20 23:15:07] <Abram> <Ditch the limo!>
  422. [2013-10-20 23:15:17] * Abram tries to dive out of the car.
  423. [2013-10-20 23:15:18] * DiceMaid-9001 gets out of the car

  426. [2013-10-20 23:17:45] <DiceMaid-9001> Abram, what could possibly go wrong: 7 [2d6=3,4]
  427. [2013-10-20 23:18:04] <Falconis> You barely clear the door before your world turns white
  428. [2013-10-20 23:18:54] <Falconis> Your eyes are seared and your eardrums are bombarded with the riotous destruction of your Vehicle, the pressure wave throws you forward into the night, turning your vision black from acceleration
  429. [2013-10-20 23:19:11] <Falconis> 5d12+40 beamu

  433. [2013-10-20 23:21:11] <Abram> Abram crashes into the dirt violently. His senses are overloaded and his body is battered, but he clings on to consciousness.
  434. [2013-10-20 23:21:38] <Falconis> Lightning flashes, illustrating the flying form of your assailant
  435. [2013-10-20 23:21:46] <Falconis> it hangs around momentarily and then turns away
  436. [2013-10-20 23:21:52] <Falconis> The limo burns
  437. [2013-10-20 23:21:54] <Falconis> >_
  438. [2013-10-20 23:23:46] <Abram> "Urgh." All Abram can do is groan in pain as he digs around in his pockets. It takes him a few moments, but he withdraws a sparkling lemonade and downs it.
  439. [2013-10-20 23:24:41] <Falconis> LEMONADE IS GUD
  440. [2013-10-20 23:24:48] <Abram> It takes even longer to become lucid enough to stand. He limps towards the wreckage, almost blinded by the fire. "Harrier? Jun?"
  441. [2013-10-20 23:24:48] <Falconis> HAPPY LEMON FRIEND
  442. [2013-10-20 23:25:08] <Falconis> Harrier is in a tree
  443. [2013-10-20 23:25:13] <Falconis> not standing in a tree
  444. [2013-10-20 23:25:15] <Falconis> laying in a tree
  445. [2013-10-20 23:25:19] <Falconis> Jun is nowhere to be seen
  446. [2013-10-20 23:25:43] <Abram> "Harrier? Harrier, are you okay?" Abram limps over to his compatriot.
  447. [2013-10-20 23:26:37] <Falconis> The bird screeches weakly
  448. [2013-10-20 23:27:40] * Abram snatches Harrier up and takes a seat, quickly digging out his medical supplies and getting to work.
  449. [2013-10-20 23:27:47] <Abram> "Hang on buddy..."
  450. [2013-10-20 23:29:52] <Abram> He works his magic. Once done, he sits against the same tree, panting even more than before.
  451. [2013-10-20 23:30:03] <Abram> "We're fucked, aren't we?"
  452. [2013-10-20 23:32:12] <Falconis> Harrier serveys the surroundings
  453. [2013-10-20 23:32:25] <Falconis> and matter of factly screeches his agreement
  454. [2013-10-20 23:33:59] <Abram> "Well, we can't stop now. And we definitely can't go home, not with Bohai in the way." Abram stands, letting Harrier perch on his shoulder once again. "I guess we're heading back to Beijing."
  455. [2013-10-20 23:34:43] <Abram> He starts walking in that direction, though he pauses for a moment to look at the burning limo and shake his head.
  456. [2013-10-20 23:35:12] <Falconis> The limo does not shake it's head in return
  457. [2013-10-20 23:37:21] <Abram> 4d6+4 perception, anything noteworthy in this stretch of nowhere?
  458. [2013-10-20 23:37:21] <DiceMaid-9001> Abram, perception, anything noteworthy in this stretch of nowhere?: 19 [4d6=1,3,6,5]
  459. [2013-10-20 23:39:37] <Falconis> You are by the Tainjin-Beijing road
  460. [2013-10-20 23:39:48] <Falconis> Rain is falling on you
  461. [2013-10-20 23:40:12] <Falconis> The sun might be rising, but the clouds in the sky aren't letting anything through
  462. [2013-10-20 23:40:14] <Falconis> so much rain
  463. [2013-10-20 23:41:18] <Abram> "We're gonna get sick like this." Abram just keeps on walking.
  464. [2013-10-20 23:42:05] <Falconis> *screech*
  465. [2013-10-20 23:42:12] <Falconis> Harrier shakes out his feathers
  466. [2013-10-20 23:42:23] <Abram> "Well, maybe not you."
  467. [2013-10-20 23:42:31] <Falconis> flying is impossible now, so he trudges besides you
  468. [2013-10-20 23:42:39] <Falconis> thunder booms
  469. [2013-10-20 23:42:46] <Falconis> where to friend
  470. [2013-10-20 23:42:53] <Falconis> oh right

  475. [2013-10-20 23:44:12] <Falconis> The walk is long and wet
  476. [2013-10-20 23:44:22] <Falconis> thankfully the rain lets up about halfway there
  477. [2013-10-20 23:44:28] <Falconis> but you are still wet
  478. [2013-10-20 23:44:35] <Falconis> you may not get the chance to return your suit
