[20:24]  He proceeded to the Peg-Leg pie where his winning was coupled with information on the Earl of Bourfin, Darius’ contact in Maxwell, and that a mysterious guest was invited within the household right before the brutal slaughter of the whole family before being caught cheating and kicked out. [20:24] . Meanwhile, Grendel and Mira observing they were being surrounded and closed on by Payne’s goons, decided to make for the guarded back door. The assassin managed to fade into the main hall while the Centurius only attracted all the attention on himself. [20:25]  While he tried to be brought to Payne, Mira conned the guard into letting her inside a small anti-chamber where a man armed with a handcrossbow was waiting. [20:25]  As Grendel fired a las shot at a goon, creating a panic in the patrons who all rushed outside, Mira assaulted the pair at Payne’s doorstep.+++ [20:25]  ++++++++End Transmission++++++++ [20:25]  (( she's going to rip Grendel a new one after this, of course )) [20:25]  ((wait, that's 2 handcrossbowmen, not one)) [20:26]  (( 2?

[22:22] <BradGM> **You grab the man with ease as he ran directly into you, slam into your metallic chest and falls back as his freinds run away.** [22:22] * @Grendel puts the chainblade against his throat.

[22:27] * Mira looks around to see who else is around, knowing Grendel is there, but that's about it. [22:28] <BradGM> ((I dunno if Lazerus is in or out)) [22:28] <Mira> (( I think he's in there )) [22:28] * Mira nudges the decapitated head with her boot, sending it rolling across the floor lopsidedely.

[22:39] <BradGM> ((yup)) [22:39] <@Grendel> ((isn't it still an opposed against my strength?)) [22:39] <BradGM> ((if he used his strength to break free yes, sliping away there's no opposed tests)) [22:41] <BradGM> **He slips out of his shirt and makes for the door behind the bar** [22:41] * @Grendel takes a shot at him.

[22:48] <BradGM> **You heard a loud locking sound coming from behind you** [22:49] <BradGM> **Grendel, as you approach the bar, you see the door behind it moving.** [22:49] * Mira turns to look over her shoulder. "What the..." [22:49] <BradGM> **There is..nothing different than before.** [22:49] * @Grendel curses in binary. "We should try upstairs." [22:49] <Mira> "Guys, we need to get back here and talk to this guy Payne before he runs away." [22:50] * @Grendel nods. "Go." [22:50] <Mira> "Someone want to grab that head? Could be useful." She turns on her heels and heads for the door she came through before, stepping over the bodies. [22:51] * Lazerus steps forward off the wall and looks down on the head. 1"Uh, nope, I'm good." [22:52] * Mira speaks back over her shoulder, "Wasn't so much a question." [22:52] * @Grendel leans down, picking up the head as he follows Mira. [22:53] <BradGM> **Mira you arrives at the door. It is a small framed, tick oak door with double hindges. The rotation handle has a key hole underneat it** [22:54] <Mira> (( haha for serious.. she doesn't have a thing for that this time.. all the times she had one and never needed it, now she doesn't have it )) [22:54] * Lazerus sighs and leans down, grabbing it by its head. 1"Your head, Mistress." [22:55] <Mira> (( Grendel got it, you're safe ;) )) [22:56] <Lazerus> ((sorry, missed that)) [22:56] <BradGM> ((do I sense a morbid servo-skull in the far future?))

[22:57] <BradGM> ((without actually see her)) [22:57] <Mira> (( well, they saw her toss a head around and kick it )) [22:57] * Mira tries the door knob. [22:57] <BradGM> **it is shamefuly locked** [22:58] <BradGM> ((hampering your investigation! retreat is the only viable option)) [22:58] <Mira> "Anyone want to have a go at unlocking this?" She gestures at the lock. [22:58] <BradGM> ((you really left your multi-key at the temple?)) [22:59] <Mira> (( she didn't bring one on this trip period.. not sure how that happened.. I could swear I had it, but it isn't on my list )) [22:59] * @Grendel pulls a multi-key from the folds of his robe. [22:59] <Mira> (( she does have a lascutter though.. so.. )) [23:00] <@Grendel> ((I took a lascutter, but he left that and his rifle at the church)) [23:00] <Mira> (( that'swhat the gear harness is for, she gets to bring everything heh )) [23:01] * @Grendel attempts to unlock the door with the multikey. [23:01] <BradGM> **roll security-10** [23:01] <@Grendel> ((does that include the Multikey's +30?)) [23:02] <BradGM> ((that +30 is to your security skill, not the roll)) [23:02] <@Grendel> !dhroll 46 [23:02] <Servitor> Grendel: 75 Failure by 2 degrees! [23:03] * @Grendel attempts and fails to pass the primitive lock and passes the multi-key to Mira. "It is too primitive." [23:04] * Mira takes the tool and leans down, taking a look at the lock for a moment. "Should be easy enough.. just a sec.." [23:04] <BradGM> **Security-10 Mira** [23:05] <Mira> !dhroll 94 [23:05] <Servitor> Mira: 7 Success by 8 degrees! [23:06] <Mira> (( She's the Sparks of locks! )) [23:06] <Mira> (( A Mira sandwich )) [23:06] <Mira> (( Master of unlocking! )) [23:06] <BradGM> **By looking down the keyhole, you can see that there's a few metal shard that you must work the multi-key, or any key, a certain way to unlock it, But as Grendel said, primitive and too easy** [23:07] * Mira unlocks the door, handing the tool to Grendel again. [23:08] * @Grendel makes it disappear beneath his robes, and checks over the charge on his pistol. [23:10] * Lazerus forms up behind them. 1"Payne through there?" [23:11] * @Grendel shrugs with his mechadendrites. [23:11] * Mira holds her one knife in her hand, opening the door. [23:12] <BradGM> **Roll awareness visual+40** [23:12] <Lazerus> !dhroll 81 [23:12] <Servitor> Lazerus: 90 Failure by 0 degrees!

[23:17] <BradGM> **Mira, you slowly open the door, just then Lazerus spots a rope tied to the upper frame of the door, no doutb a trap system. Mira opens up the door more before seeing the shadow of a somehing on the wall, and Grendel actually see parts of a chair.** [23:17] <BradGM> ((it took 6 rewrites to ahve it good soory)) [23:17] <Lazerus> "Wait!" [23:17] * Lazerus points out the trap. [23:17] <Mira> (( heh )) [23:18] * Mira instantly stops the motion of the door with the warning. [23:18] * @Grendel pushes his optical mechadendrite through the opening, examining the trap. [23:18] <BradGM> ((yeah Mira and Grendel see what I wrtoe with the crack in the door and all)) [23:18] <BradGM> **roll tech-use Grendel** [23:18] <BradGM> **sorry, wrong roll** [23:18] <Mira> "It looks like a pretty elaborate trap.. I can't see the details, but there's a whole set up in there." [23:19] <@Grendel> ((?)) [23:20] <BradGM> ((can your optical mecharendrite bends?** [23:20] <@Grendel> ((Highly flexible, 3meters long, can reduce its width to a pencil)) [23:20] <BradGM> ((ok)) [23:21] <BradGM> **You peek your optical mecharendrite up the door and see a somewhat furnished room with a simple desk and leather chair, devoid of presence. The trap is a system of rope connected to a Blunterbuss set to fire at a certain point when the door is open.** [23:23] * @Grendel describes the system to Mira while looking for any occupants in the room, before extending his utility mechadendrite into the room to disable the trap. [23:23] * Mira tries to picture it in her mind. [23:23] <BradGM> **You cut the rope disabling the simple, deadly trap with ease.** [23:24] * @Grendel looks around for any other traps, and if he doesn't see anything, tells Mira it is alright to procede. [23:25] * Mira continues to open the door. [23:26] <BradGM> **You open the door to face the muzzle of a blunterbuss just out of the door's swing's reach.** [23:26] * Mira doesn't touch the gun, but ducks instinctively, not wanting to take a chance. [23:26] <BradGM> ((and sicne you are wearing no armour, it would have been deadly)) [23:27] <Mira> (( did you really think anyone was going to fail that perception roll? ;) )) [23:27] <BradGM> ((a 100 is so quickly rolled)) [23:27] <Mira> (( least of all, everyone )) [23:28] <Mira> (( I've yet to roll a 100, ever... knock on me. )) [23:28] <BradGM> **The room is somewhat furnished, a simple desk witha elather chair, a few carepts on the floor and walls, mostly thickness of fishnests** [23:28] <Mira> (( My last name is Wood, very convenient. )) [23:29] <BradGM> ((heh)) [23:29] <BradGM> ((mmind if we close it here guys?)) [23:29] <@Grendel> ((Seems like a good place)) [23:30] <Mira> (( perfect for me.. they haven't called me back in, but I'm still up now for about 42 hours ;) )) [23:30] <BradGM> +++++++Terminate Transmission+++++++
