[20:07] <@BradGM> +++ The Enforcers quickly took over the situation, getting Elana to a local Barber-surgeon, and allowing some freedom of movement to allow Lazerus to get Grendel back on his feet.
[20:08] <@BradGM> In turn, the Tech-Priest staunched the bleeding of the unconscious Sororitas, much to the surprised of what passes as the best medicae service available.
[20:08] <@BradGM> After being escorted to the Watchhouse, Mockingbird cooperated with the local enforcers, much to the surprise of Sergeant Ulric.
[20:08] <@BradGM> Impressed the point that he gave them a Mandate to investigate the recent attempt on their own lives. +++

[20:09] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((lots of surprise on the part of the locals last session))
[20:09] <@BradGM> ((damn, double wording..but yes there was))
[20:11] <+Mira_Atella> "So, we need to head north to get some information. Are we going to dare take some kind of public transportation or do we want to find.. another.. means of getting there?"
[20:11] <+Grendel> "Should we examine the scene first?"
[20:11] <@BradGM> ((You can also take some cloack beloging to the watch; should help to show less, at least for Grendle at least.))
[20:12] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((i agree; the less we stand out the better))
[20:13] <+Mira_Atella> "We could check the building where the shooters were. Though the Sergeant seemed to think nothing was to be found there."
[20:13] <+Mira_Atella> (( he had said his people went in and looked around and found nothing, right? ))
[20:13] <+Lazerus_Grim> "I may be of more use than his men, though I can't guarantee anything. But first, perhaps we should gather our things from the armoury?"
[20:14] * +Mira_Atella nods. "If you think you can find more, it's worth a shot. I already have my things back. Did you leave things you need back at the temple?"
[20:14] * +Grendel nods. "You never know what we may find that they did not.'
[20:14] <@BradGM> ((they found blood and a trail leading to the back of the house, but it suddenly stopped.))
[20:15] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((we got our things? must have missed that))
[20:15] <@BradGM> ((yup))
[20:15] * +Lazerus_Grim does the pocket-pat dance and realizes he already has his gear. 1"Perhaps visiting the armoury for some local garb might be useful, still."
[20:16] * +Grendel considers his size. "Perhaps."
[20:16] <@BradGM> You cross Sgt Ulric as you're going to the armoury near-by
[20:17] <@BradGM> ((or jsut go in and take things..it's not like it's that much guarded...))
[20:17] <+Mira_Atella> "Excuse me, Sergeant? Do you have something we could wear to indentify that we are investigating with your blessing? Some patch, or emblem of something kind."
[20:18] <@BradGM> Sgt Ulric "Hm? I don't have uniforms for you people, but I can spare a few hooded cloaks with the Seal of the Watch."
[20:19] <+Mira_Atella> "That should work, thank you."
[20:21] <@BradGM> The Cloaks are used, blacken leather with a heavely sowed hood on it. The Simple, crossed Halberds over a boat under a hill is sowed around the shoulders.
[20:22] <@BradGM> Grendel, You got a slightly bigger ones, as a few enforcers are tall and large, but it still leaves half your shins exposed.
[20:22] * +Mira_Atella takes one of the cloaks and wraps it around herself, fastening it securely.
[20:23] * +Grendel shrugs into it, wrapping it around his body over his robes. "This will do I suppose."
[20:23] <@BradGM> ((it would provide +1AP prmitive to all location (head when the hood is on) ))
[20:23] * +Lazerus_Grim takes one as well, leaving the hood off.
[20:24] <+Grendel> "To the scene then?"
[20:24] <@BradGM> ((so off to the house?))
[20:25] <@BradGM> ((haha))
[20:26] * +Mira_Atella nods. "Let's go. Even if we just do a quick one over so that we can head north if we find nothing."
[20:27] <@BradGM> You exit the Watchhouse and proceed back to the Plaza. The populace is back at it's usual business, as a few hours have passed since the attack.
[20:28] * +Mira_Atella looks for the broken window they were being shot from and then for a door leading inside the building.
[20:28] * +Grendel follows along behind the group,pulling in his mechadendrites in an attempt to look less inconspicuous as he studies the surroundings.
[20:28] <@BradGM> ((There is also Darius the merchant, an =I= agent whom Jex met and acted with,who is in Arnhut you were going to see))
[20:29] <+Grendel> ((nod))
[20:30] <@BradGM> At the house, a few Watchmen are standing Guard at the open door.
[20:31] * +Mira_Atella gives a nod to the guards, "We need to look around inside."
[20:33] <@BradGM> The watchman looks at you, not too sure. "And who are you?"
[20:33] * +Mira_Atella pulls out the signed mandate and hands it over for inspection.
[20:34] * +Grendel hopes the yokels can read.
[20:35] <@BradGM> He looks at it with confused understanding and yells "Hey Atto!" inside. A few moments after, a well groomed enforcer appears form the frame. "What's this say?"
[20:37] <@BradGM> The other takes the mandate and talks with a beter speech than his counterpart, or most around you. "She appears to be deputized to investigate this affair."
[20:37] * +Mira_Atella stares blankly at the fact they can't read.
[20:38] <@BradGM> Watch "I beleive your companions are also with a mandate?"
[20:39] * +Grendel pulls out his mandate and holds it up so the officer can "read' it.
[20:40] * +Mira_Atella looks to the others for their papers as well.
[20:40] * +Lazerus_Grim displays his aswell.
[20:41] <@BradGM> Atto "Of course. it have the Sergeant's mark on it; they can go in." *He gives back Mira's mandate to the guard which gives it back to her.* "Just don't touch anythin'"
[20:42] <+Mira_Atella> "Of course."
[20:42] * +Mira_Atella slips the paper inside her coat and walks inside the house.
[20:43] * +Grendel disappears his mandate underneath his robe as he moves forward, his optical mechadendrite stretching out as it starts to examine the area closely.
[20:44] * +Lazerus_Grim follows after them, concentrating on casting his senses from his body (manifesting Preternatural Awareness).

[20:45] * +Mira_Atella stands out of the way while the two more capable of this task do what they do.
[20:45] * +Lazerus_Grim begins looking around the room for anything that might have been missed.
[20:46] <@BradGM> The house opens to a small entryhall, furnished with old but still fonctionnable wooden seats, then into the house proper, it opens into a salon to the left and a dining room to the right, with a stiar in front of you and to your right, with the left going into another room down the hall.
[20:46] * +Mira_Atella takes the stairs to the next floor and looks for the room the shooter was in.

[20:52] * +Grendel sweeps his optical mechadendrite along the floors and walls as he studies the building.
[20:52] <@BradGM> The place have been altered already by the Watch, but Lazerus is able to find the place of entry; a window in the kitchen out back, the lock was forced but it was done with any real force applied.
[20:54] <@BradGM> You also all find a blood trail at the second and third floors, in thes tairs, down the hall and into the window at the end of it.
[20:54] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((same window?))
[20:56] <@BradGM> THe 'killing windows' are acutally in a large dormitory type room on the third floor, the blood starts there, the blood splashing and all.
[20:57] <@BradGM> ((you can roll awareness/scrutinize all of yu again on the second and third floor))

[21:03] <@BradGM> Grendel, you could see that there is 2 blood trails, as in 2 of the bowmen have been shot. Mira, you also see this, but also, from your assasin experience, with lazerus' rifle and your own weapon, the blood splashes are too small, despite being visible; meaning they were possibly using some sort of cloth like armour, like mesh. You also spot the blood in the alley looking down ..cont.
[21:03] <+Grendel> ((brb))
[21:04] <@BradGM> and on the blood marked drain your killers used to slide to the ground, you see a partial ahndprint, and a piece of redearth cloth stuck in a support.
[21:05] <@BradGM> ((the drain "U" shaped supportthat is))

[21:05] <+Mira_Atella> "I think they ran more because they were scared than because we hurt them with our shots. Left a good trail though." She points out the pipe and the other items. "If they were careful, they wouldn't have left that."
[21:06] * Gloomster (~bob@24.160.33.5) has joined #Shadowrun
[21:10] * +Mira_Atella follows Lazerus up to the 3rd floor, "I'm not sure if they were up here if they shot at us from the 2nd floor.. can't hurt though."
[21:10] <+Mira_Atella> !dhroll 64
[21:10] <+Servitor> Mira_Atella: 2 Success by 6 degrees!
[21:10] <@BradGM> Lazerus, you get to the place of the assasin you shot at. The view is perfect, from your tiem in the Gaurd one to take and hold in case of greater trouble.
[21:11] <@BradGM> ((Mira sees all tongiht))
[21:12] <+Mira_Atella> (( heh ))

[21:13] <+Servitor> Grendel: 86 Failure by 3 degrees!
[21:14] <+Grendel> ((sigh lol))
[21:16] * +Grendel stretches the mechadendrite out as much as it can and examines the redearth cloth.
[21:17] <@BradGM> Mira you also is an excellent position with almost all of the Plaza into your field of view, little cover but the Baron Geiswaden's satute. You see 5 marks in front of each killing window, as the bowmen counted their arrows and were waiting for you. You also find under one of the hay bed a shot out small pece if a modern, bloodied material, like a printed pict from a recording.
[21:17] <@BradGM> Grendel you manage to get the small piece of cloth int your metal grasps, but you lack the proper tools for an analisys.
[21:18] * +Mira_Atella leans down and looks at the piece of material under the bed, grasping it and pulling it out in the light to see it better.
[21:19] * +Grendel turns the cloth over, examining it. "Some of their clothing perhaps."
[21:20] <@BradGM> It looks like a small corner of a picture of something; hard to say, but you highly doubt that's locally made into a dark room.
[21:21] <@BradGM> ((maybe half an inch by half an inch))
[21:21] <@BradGM> ((the cloth is a 2 inch long tear.))
[21:22] <@BradGM> Mira, you also see that not every bullet that struck actually passed through the target.
[21:22] <+Mira_Atella> "I found this.." holds up the corner, "It's too modern to be from around here, I think. We definitely aren't dealing with locals."
[21:23] * +Mira_Atella counts impact locations, trying to remember how many shots each of them took and compare it to how many are logged in the walls and ceiling.
[21:24] <+Grendel> "The same as the arrows then. Definite signs of offworlders. Perhaps our arrival was not as secretive as we wished?"
[21:25] <+Lazerus_Grim> "Apparently not. I suspect that the picture this corner belongs to was taken by the man we noted observing us on our way to the temple."
[21:26] <+Grendel> "The Coal King is another possibility."
[21:28] <+Mira_Atella> "It was likely a picture of us, yes. So that they would know who to shoot at."
[21:28] <@BradGM> Mira, you believe there's at least 2 rounds that may still be lodged into your target; but with the heavy cloth they might wearing, or with all that technology, perhaps mesh, it may have gone throught, to be stopped by the back of the armour.
[21:28] * +Lazerus_Grim looks out the window over the square. 1"So they ambushed us, but fled when the watchmen arrived. Numbers may be key when we engage with these off-worlders."
[21:29] * +Mira_Atella puts the corner piece in her bag, continuing to look around. "One or two of them may be badly injured with a bullet still lodged in. They'll have to get it treated immediately to avoid the wound becoming infected. Or their armor could have stopped it, but checking around for anyone having been treated for a bullet wound could help."
[21:30] <+Grendel> "I am sure the Watchmen will know who to ask."
[21:31] * +Mira_Atella nods. "Let's check that alley first. There was a bloody handprint on the drain strapping, so they definitely went out that way."
[21:32] * +Grendel nods and moves down the stairs carefully, hoping the primitive building holds his weight.
[21:33] * +Mira_Atella goes back down to the second floor and takes the direct route the same way the shooters did, climbing down the pipe to the alley.
[21:33] <@BradGM> It is surprisingly sturdy for something that looks rather old and barely inhabited if at all.
[21:33] <@BradGM> Mira roll climbing or acrobatics +10

[21:34] <+Mira_Atella> (( I am.... MONKEY NINJA! ))
[21:37] <@BradGM> You climb down, managing to climb down without using the same point as the assassins; you also see that the 2 wounded used the same points, almost over-lapping their hands perfectly.
[21:37] * +Grendel follows the blood trail closely, his mechadendrite zooming in on the blood, examining it telescopically.
[21:38] <@BradGM> ((Grendel, that obtical mecharendrite, it got an aupex?))
[21:39] <@BradGM> ((yeah, snesors))
[21:39] * +Mira_Atella frowns a bit, waiting for the others before she explains their method of climbing, "They were a lot more careful than I first thought, they've had training." She points out the barely noticable overlap of the handprints, "We can't tell how many they were with that technique."
[21:39] <@BradGM> Uou can all roll scrutinize or awareness at -20

[21:45] <@BradGM> Grendel, you see the blood trail leaving into the back alleys of the neighborhood and then dissapearing, but your sensosrs detect what you percieve as skinspray, a medical spray product that seals wounds and help control bleeding by creating a floaming, synthetic skin-like caterising material.
[21:46] <+Grendel> "They patched their wounds here with a skinspray.'
[21:47] <+Grendel> ((I'm trying to remember if I took my auspex from the Temple or not))
[21:48] <+Mira_Atella> "Is there a way to track their movement from the spray?"
[21:48] <@BradGM> ((you got it))
[21:49] <@BradGM> (( [23:18] <+Grendel`> ((oh, and I guess the blade since its not a sword..along with auspex, melta paste and stummer and multikey..basically I'm just leaving the big weapons behind.))
[21:49] <@BradGM> ((and your laspistol))
[21:49] <+Grendel> ((Ah, thanks. Duh. I was mispelling auspex in my search lol))
[21:50] * +Grendel pulls his auspex out and sweeps for anything else that might be helpful, before attempting to focus on the spray.
[21:52] <@BradGM> ((you got medicae at what?))
[21:52] <@BradGM> ((+10?))
[21:53] <+Grendel> ((+0. Unless my medicae mechadendrite helps, then its at +10)
[21:53] <@BradGM> ((not for this; so roll tech-use for the aupex at -20 as it would require some fine calibration))
[21:54] <+Grendel> !dhroll 63
[21:54] <+Servitor> Grendel: 34 Success by 2 degrees!

[21:59] <@BradGM> You calibrate your aupex and manages to detect the sprayskin you should be able to track it as long as you can detect it
[22:00] <+Grendel> "The machine spirit can track it as long as it is able to detect the sprayskin."
[22:01] <+Mira_Atella> "Good. But do we want to follow it with no clear idea of what we'll be heading in to?"
[22:01] <+Mira_Atella> "If we don't, the trail might fade, of course."
[22:02] <+Lazerus_Grim> "With caution, I think we should at least see where it goes. Or at least get us close, and then my gifts may have a better chance at finding their present location, or even hideout."
[22:03] <+Grendel> "The last time this did not end too well."
[22:03] <@BradGM> ((or your dog with the blood trail could help too))
[22:04] <+Mira_Atella> "Getting close, even if we don't engage them now, would be better so we know where they are for later." She nods to Lazerus. "We'll just have to be careful not to get too close."
[22:05] * +Grendel studies the auspex carefully, noting the direction its indicating.
[22:05] <@BradGM> It goes down the alley toward the warehouses near the docks.
[22:06] * +Grendel motions in the direction. "The machine spirit is indicating that direction."
[22:06] <+Lazerus_Grim> 14Track 6Lazerus commands Demon, pointing to the blood on the ground right before the trail ends.
[22:07] <+Mira_Atella> "We'll follow you, don't want to mess up the trail."

[22:10] <@BradGM> Grendel, you follow the sprayskin trail, but leaving the alley system and going into a more passing streets, mostly carts hauling goods and beats, the aupex is having difficulty and the trail weakens!
[22:10] <@BradGM> Roll tech-use -30 to get something back
[22:10] <+Lazerus_Grim> 14It's alright, Come. 6Lazerus communicates as Demon lets out a whimper, unable to find the scent. They both fall in behind Grendel, keeping some distance and maintaining Preternatural Awareness.

[22:14] <@BradGM> Unfortunately, the many, scent of the salty sea, beasts, men and sweat doens't help you and you loose the sprayskin trail
[22:14] * +Grendel makes a noise in binary as the machine spirit loses the trail, shaking his head. "The trail is occluded by too many people passing by."
[22:15] <+Lazerus_Grim> 14Track, 6Lazerus orders, hoping that Demon might be able to pick it up long enough to keep the Tech-Priest going.

[22:17] <@BradGM> Demon seems to pick a scent and he simply goes for the near-by bitch in heat.
[22:17] <+Mira_Atella> "If we can't track them, wandering the city aimlessly wouldn't prove useful. We might need to take what we found in that house and go north. Something we found could match information they already have."

[22:20] * +Lazerus_Grim shakes his head at the dog and ignores him. Concentrating on the arrow in his hands, he let's his mind focus on the psychic residue from their attackers, hoping to find one of them in this city (manifesting Dowsing).

[22:23] <+Mira_Atella> (( er.. what's going on? lol ))
[22:24] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((so i rolled a 9, that means i roll for Psychic Phenomena. i rolled an 80, which makes that into a Peril of the Warp))
[22:24] <@BradGM> ((the Sanctionned Warden special rank you all got))
[22:24] <@BradGM> http://dark-heresy.wikispaces.com/Santion+Wardens
[22:24] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((as per the Cell Directive that you all bought, you can make a free attack and try to do at least 1 point of damage to keep me from manifesting it))
[22:25] <+Mira_Atella> (( ah ))
[22:25] <@BradGM> ((brb bathroom, make your attacks))
[22:26] <+Mira_Atella> (( erm.. so it's just like a normal attack? That's seems odd, but okay ))
[22:26] <+Grendel> ((hmm))
[22:26] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((yeah, you're trying to distract me so i break concentration and don't manifest the power))
[22:26] <+Mira_Atella> (( and hopefully not fatally wounding you in the process heh ))
[22:27] <+Grendel> ((Does the weapon have to be available?))
[22:27] <+Grendel> ((Well, readied I guess))
[22:27] <@BradGM> ((it is an attack; a punch or kick , as long as it makes 1 wiund, is an attack))
[22:29] * +Grendel fires up the chainscalpel and attempts to break the concentration of the psyker with a quick, non-killing blow
[22:32] <+Grendel> ((just a standard WS test?))
[22:32] <@BradGM> ((yes))
[22:33] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((but combine it with a battle cry for added awesomeness - "Suffer not the witch to live!))

[22:34] <@BradGM> ((not too loudly- you are surrounded by peasents))
[22:34] <+Mira_Atella> (( I'm just waiting in case Grendel hits first.. no point hurting him if someone else already has ))

[22:36] * +Mira_Atella feels something wrong and looks over at Lazerus, "Oh no you don't.." She pulls her mono blade and flips it open as she pivots on one foot to gain momentum, aiming at the shoulder of his closest to her.
[22:36] <+Mira_Atella> !dhroll 39

[22:38] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((11 - 4 (Armour) - 2 (Toughness) = 5: Success!))

[22:42] <+Servitor> The attack flays the skin from the limb, filling the air with blood and the sounds of his screaming. The
[22:42] <+Servitor> target falls prone from the agony and takes 2 levels of Fatigue. The limb is useless for 1d10 Rounds.
[22:42] <@BradGM> As the mono blade hits home, Lazerus looses his concentrationa nd control over the warp energy he was conjuring up
[22:43] * +Mira_Atella winces as Lazerus falls and cries out, seeing the blood spraying. She quickly closes the knife and puts it away, "I'm sorry Grimm, but we don't know how much worse the alternative could have been."
[22:43] * +Lazerus_Grim screams as Mira rips skin from his shoulder. He involuntarily drops his scythe and clutches the arm as he slowly fades out, losing consciousness and falling to the ground, limp.
[22:44] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((Fatigue 2 puts me unconscious))
[22:44] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((for 8 minutes))
[22:44] <+Mira_Atella> "Grendel, help me get him somewhere so you can help him?" She leans down and picks up his scythe in one hand and grabs Laz with her other.
[22:45] * +Grendel leans down and grabs the man by the uninjured arm and starts to pulling him back to the alley and the building, his optical and medicae mechadendrites looking over the Psyker.
[22:46] * +Grendel puts the mechadendrite to use as he starts to patch up the various injuries the Psyker has. "He should have told me before he was not operating at full capacity."
[22:46] <+Mira_Atella> "I didn't mean to hit him that hard.. maybe he was already wounded and hiding the fact from us?" Pulls on him as well.
[22:46] <@BradGM> Mira hit seems to ahve put the Old man over the edge; Despite staying up, he was more hurt than he let it known.
[22:49] <+Grendel> ((Standard first aid test?))
[22:49] <@BradGM> ((yes; a sucess will give him a single wound point, but he will be concious.))
[22:49] <+Grendel> !dhroll 63
[22:49] <+Servitor> Grendel: 31 Success by 3 degrees!
[22:50] <@BradGM> You patch Lazerus and give him a few injections to get him up and running.
[22:50] * +Grendel goes to work on the psyker, the chainscapel whirling as the medicae mechadendrite clicks and hisses, repairing the hurt man.
[22:52] * +Lazerus_Grim sitting against the wall of the alley, he holds his arm. Demon has returned and is growling at Mira, but seems more concered with licking his master well again than exacting retribution.
[22:53] <+Lazerus_Grim> "I may have underestimated my level of injury," 6he says with a smirk.
[22:53] <+Grendel> "Perhaps we should wait until he has a chance to be mended. You would be able to investigate our contact, while I Try to see if the Sisters have anything that may allow me to identify this cloth."
[22:55] * +Lazerus_Grim closes his eyes, about to manifest more powers, but he shoots one eye open, looking at Mira. 6"Want to ready something a little less lethal?"
[22:55] * +Mira_Atella nods, looking down at Lazerus, "Don't expect an apology, you had some crazy on your face and it looked like it was getting worse. I did what I needed to. You shouldn't have hid your other injuries."
[22:56] <+Lazerus_Grim> "Touche," 1he closes his eyes again and concentrates (manifesting Dull Pain, and then Healer).
[22:56] * +Mira_Atella thinks of what she has with her... 6 knives, a mono blade, and a sniper rifle. "I think you might want to hold off."

[22:59] * +Lazerus_Grim opens his eyes with a smile, standing and grabbing his scythe. 1"We're all good, for now."
[22:59] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((could use the rifle or the bolt pistol for melee, 1d10-1+SB I))
[22:59] <@BradGM> ((you should get some blackjacks or shock batons))
[22:59] * +Grendel glances down at the psyker. "The statistical liklihood of that seems to be low."
[23:00] <+Mira_Atella> "Do you need to go back to the Temple and rest?"
[23:01] * +Lazerus_Grim shakes his head. 1"I'll just have you look me over on the train ride north, Grendel."
[23:02] <+Grendel> "Perhaps Mira should interview our contact by herself."
[23:03] <+Lazerus_Grim> "True. You could go find and talk to Darius while I rest a bit, and then we can meet up and head north."
[23:04] <+Mira_Atella> "That could work. They would less suspicious of one person rather than three."
[23:05] * +Grendel nods, using his mechadendrite to keep an eye out.
[23:07] <+Grendel> "We should get back to the temple then."

[23:09] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((more arrows from windows!))
[23:10] <@BradGM> ((hahah))
[23:10] * +Mira_Atella removes the watchmen cloak and flips it around, wearing it reversed to hide the symbols and pulling the hood over. Starts walking towards the warehouse.
[23:10] <@BradGM> (('mind if we stop it here guys?))

[20:09] <@BradGM> ((damn, double wording..but yes there was))

[20:11] <+Grendel> "Should we examine the scene first?"
[20:11] <@BradGM> ((You can also take some cloack beloging to the watch; should help to show less, at least for Grendle at least.))
[20:12] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((i agree; the less we stand out the better))
[20:13] <+Mira_Atella> "We could check the building where the shooters were. Though the Sergeant seemed to think nothing was to be found there."
[20:13] <+Mira_Atella> (( he had said his people went in and looked around and found nothing, right? ))
[20:13] <+Lazerus_Grim> "I may be of more use than his men, though I can't guarantee anything. But first, perhaps we should gather our things from the armoury?"
[20:14] * +Mira_Atella nods. "If you think you can find more, it's worth a shot. I already have my things back. Did you leave things you need back at the temple?"
[20:14] * +Grendel nods. "You never know what we may find that they did not.'
[20:14] <@BradGM> ((they found blood and a trail leading to the back of the house, but it suddenly stopped.))
[20:15] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((we got our things? must have missed that))
[20:15] <@BradGM> ((yup))
[20:15] * +Lazerus_Grim does the pocket-pat dance and realizes he already has his gear. 1"Perhaps visiting the armoury for some local garb might be useful, still."
[20:16] * +Grendel considers his size. "Perhaps."
[20:16] <@BradGM> You cross Sgt Ulric as you're going to the armoury near-by
[20:17] <@BradGM> ((or jsut go in and take things..it's not like it's that much guarded...))
[20:17] <+Mira_Atella> "Excuse me, Sergeant? Do you have something we could wear to indentify that we are investigating with your blessing? Some patch, or emblem of something kind."
[20:18] <@BradGM> Sgt Ulric "Hm? I don't have uniforms for you people, but I can spare a few hooded cloaks with the Seal of the Watch."
[20:19] <+Mira_Atella> "That should work, thank you."
[20:21] <@BradGM> The Cloaks are used, blacken leather with a heavely sowed hood on it. The Simple, crossed Halberds over a boat under a hill is sowed around the shoulders.
[20:22] <@BradGM> Grendel, You got a slightly bigger ones, as a few enforcers are tall and large, but it still leaves half your shins exposed.
[20:22] * +Mira_Atella takes one of the cloaks and wraps it around herself, fastening it securely.
[20:23] * +Grendel shrugs into it, wrapping it around his body over his robes. "This will do I suppose."
[20:23] <@BradGM> ((it would provide +1AP prmitive to all location (head when the hood is on) ))
[20:23] * +Lazerus_Grim takes one as well, leaving the hood off.
[20:24] <+Grendel> "To the scene then?"
[20:24] <@BradGM> ((so off to the house?))
[20:25] <@BradGM> ((haha))
[20:26] * +Mira_Atella nods. "Let's go. Even if we just do a quick one over so that we can head north if we find nothing."
[20:27] <@BradGM> You exit the Watchhouse and proceed back to the Plaza. The populace is back at it's usual business, as a few hours have passed since the attack.
[20:28] * +Mira_Atella looks for the broken window they were being shot from and then for a door leading inside the building.
[20:28] * +Grendel follows along behind the group,pulling in his mechadendrites in an attempt to look less inconspicuous as he studies the surroundings.
[20:28] <@BradGM> ((There is also Darius the merchant, an =I= agent whom Jex met and acted with,who is in Arnhut you were going to see))
[20:29] <+Grendel> ((nod))
[20:30] <@BradGM> At the house, a few Watchmen are standing Guard at the open door.
[20:31] * +Mira_Atella gives a nod to the guards, "We need to look around inside."
[20:33] <@BradGM> The watchman looks at you, not too sure. "And who are you?"
[20:33] * +Mira_Atella pulls out the signed mandate and hands it over for inspection.
[20:34] * +Grendel hopes the yokels can read.
[20:35] <@BradGM> He looks at it with confused understanding and yells "Hey Atto!" inside. A few moments after, a well groomed enforcer appears form the frame. "What's this say?"
[20:37] <@BradGM> The other takes the mandate and talks with a beter speech than his counterpart, or most around you. "She appears to be deputized to investigate this affair."
[20:37] * +Mira_Atella stares blankly at the fact they can't read.
[20:38] <@BradGM> Watch "I beleive your companions are also with a mandate?"
[20:39] * +Grendel pulls out his mandate and holds it up so the officer can "read' it.
[20:40] * +Mira_Atella looks to the others for their papers as well.
[20:40] * +Lazerus_Grim displays his aswell.
[20:41] <@BradGM> Atto "Of course. it have the Sergeant's mark on it; they can go in." *He gives back Mira's mandate to the guard which gives it back to her.* "Just don't touch anythin'"
[20:42] <+Mira_Atella> "Of course."
[20:42] * +Mira_Atella slips the paper inside her coat and walks inside the house.
[20:43] * +Grendel disappears his mandate underneath his robe as he moves forward, his optical mechadendrite stretching out as it starts to examine the area closely.
[20:44] * +Lazerus_Grim follows after them, concentrating on casting his senses from his body (manifesting Preternatural Awareness).

[20:45] * +Lazerus_Grim begins looking around the room for anything that might have been missed.
[20:46] <@BradGM> The house opens to a small entryhall, furnished with old but still fonctionnable wooden seats, then into the house proper, it opens into a salon to the left and a dining room to the right, with a stiar in front of you and to your right, with the left going into another room down the hall.

[20:54] <@BradGM> You also all find a blood trail at the second and third floors, in thes tairs, down the hall and into the window at the end of it.
[20:54] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((same window?))
[20:56] <@BradGM> THe 'killing windows' are acutally in a large dormitory type room on the third floor, the blood starts there, the blood splashing and all.

[21:03] <@BradGM> Grendel, you could see that there is 2 blood trails, as in 2 of the bowmen have been shot. Mira, you also see this, but also, from your assasin experience, with lazerus' rifle and your own weapon, the blood splashes are too small, despite being visible; meaning they were possibly using some sort of cloth like armour, like mesh. You also spot the blood in the alley looking down ..cont.
[21:03] <+Grendel> ((brb))
[21:04] <@BradGM> and on the blood marked drain your killers used to slide to the ground, you see a partial ahndprint, and a piece of redearth cloth stuck in a support.

[21:06] * Gloomster (~bob@24.160.33.5) has joined #Shadowrun
[21:10] * +Mira_Atella follows Lazerus up to the 3rd floor, "I'm not sure if they were up here if they shot at us from the 2nd floor.. can't hurt though."
[21:10] <+Mira_Atella> !dhroll 64
[21:10] <+Servitor> Mira_Atella: 2 Success by 6 degrees!
[21:10] <@BradGM> Lazerus, you get to the place of the assasin you shot at. The view is perfect, from your tiem in the Gaurd one to take and hold in case of greater trouble.
[21:11] <@BradGM> ((Mira sees all tongiht))
[21:12] <+Mira_Atella> (( heh ))

[21:13] <+Servitor> Grendel: 86 Failure by 3 degrees!
[21:14] <+Grendel> ((sigh lol))
[21:16] * +Grendel stretches the mechadendrite out as much as it can and examines the redearth cloth.
[21:17] <@BradGM> Mira you also is an excellent position with almost all of the Plaza into your field of view, little cover but the Baron Geiswaden's satute. You see 5 marks in front of each killing window, as the bowmen counted their arrows and were waiting for you. You also find under one of the hay bed a shot out small pece if a modern, bloodied material, like a printed pict from a recording.
[21:17] <@BradGM> Grendel you manage to get the small piece of cloth int your metal grasps, but you lack the proper tools for an analisys.
[21:18] * +Mira_Atella leans down and looks at the piece of material under the bed, grasping it and pulling it out in the light to see it better.
[21:19] * +Grendel turns the cloth over, examining it. "Some of their clothing perhaps."
[21:20] <@BradGM> It looks like a small corner of a picture of something; hard to say, but you highly doubt that's locally made into a dark room.
[21:21] <@BradGM> ((maybe half an inch by half an inch))
[21:21] <@BradGM> ((the cloth is a 2 inch long tear.))
[21:22] <@BradGM> Mira, you also see that not every bullet that struck actually passed through the target.
[21:22] <+Mira_Atella> "I found this.." holds up the corner, "It's too modern to be from around here, I think. We definitely aren't dealing with locals."
[21:23] * +Mira_Atella counts impact locations, trying to remember how many shots each of them took and compare it to how many are logged in the walls and ceiling.
[21:24] <+Grendel> "The same as the arrows then. Definite signs of offworlders. Perhaps our arrival was not as secretive as we wished?"
[21:25] <+Lazerus_Grim> "Apparently not. I suspect that the picture this corner belongs to was taken by the man we noted observing us on our way to the temple."
[21:26] <+Grendel> "The Coal King is another possibility."
[21:28] <+Mira_Atella> "It was likely a picture of us, yes. So that they would know who to shoot at."
[21:28] <@BradGM> Mira, you believe there's at least 2 rounds that may still be lodged into your target; but with the heavy cloth they might wearing, or with all that technology, perhaps mesh, it may have gone throught, to be stopped by the back of the armour.
[21:28] * +Lazerus_Grim looks out the window over the square. 1"So they ambushed us, but fled when the watchmen arrived. Numbers may be key when we engage with these off-worlders."
[21:29] * +Mira_Atella puts the corner piece in her bag, continuing to look around. "One or two of them may be badly injured with a bullet still lodged in. They'll have to get it treated immediately to avoid the wound becoming infected. Or their armor could have stopped it, but checking around for anyone having been treated for a bullet wound could help."
[21:30] <+Grendel> "I am sure the Watchmen will know who to ask."
[21:31] * +Mira_Atella nods. "Let's check that alley first. There was a bloody handprint on the drain strapping, so they definitely went out that way."
[21:32] * +Grendel nods and moves down the stairs carefully, hoping the primitive building holds his weight.
[21:33] * +Mira_Atella goes back down to the second floor and takes the direct route the same way the shooters did, climbing down the pipe to the alley.
[21:33] <@BradGM> It is surprisingly sturdy for something that looks rather old and barely inhabited if at all.
[21:33] <@BradGM> Mira roll climbing or acrobatics +10

[21:34] <+Mira_Atella> (( I am.... MONKEY NINJA! ))
[21:37] <@BradGM> You climb down, managing to climb down without using the same point as the assassins; you also see that the 2 wounded used the same points, almost over-lapping their hands perfectly.
[21:37] * +Grendel follows the blood trail closely, his mechadendrite zooming in on the blood, examining it telescopically.
[21:38] <@BradGM> ((Grendel, that obtical mecharendrite, it got an aupex?))
[21:39] <@BradGM> ((yeah, snesors))
[21:39] * +Mira_Atella frowns a bit, waiting for the others before she explains their method of climbing, "They were a lot more careful than I first thought, they've had training." She points out the barely noticable overlap of the handprints, "We can't tell how many they were with that technique."
[21:39] <@BradGM> Uou can all roll scrutinize or awareness at -20

[21:40] <+Servitor> Grendel: 20 Success by 0 degrees!
[21:45] <@BradGM> Grendel, you see the blood trail leaving into the back alleys of the neighborhood and then dissapearing, but your sensosrs detect what you percieve as skinspray, a medical spray product that seals wounds and help control bleeding by creating a floaming, synthetic skin-like caterising material.
[21:46] <+Grendel> "They patched their wounds here with a skinspray.'
[21:47] <+Grendel> ((I'm trying to remember if I took my auspex from the Temple or not))
[21:48] <+Mira_Atella> "Is there a way to track their movement from the spray?"
[21:48] <@BradGM> ((you got it))
[21:49] <@BradGM> (( [23:18] <+Grendel`> ((oh, and I guess the blade since its not a sword..along with auspex, melta paste and stummer and multikey..basically I'm just leaving the big weapons behind.))
[21:49] <@BradGM> ((and your laspistol))
[21:49] <+Grendel> ((Ah, thanks. Duh. I was mispelling auspex in my search lol))
[21:50] * +Grendel pulls his auspex out and sweeps for anything else that might be helpful, before attempting to focus on the spray.
[21:52] <@BradGM> ((you got medicae at what?))
[21:52] <@BradGM> ((+10?))
[21:53] <+Grendel> ((+0. Unless my medicae mechadendrite helps, then its at +10)
[21:53] <@BradGM> ((not for this; so roll tech-use for the aupex at -20 as it would require some fine calibration))
[21:54] <+Grendel> !dhroll 63
[21:54] <+Servitor> Grendel: 34 Success by 2 degrees!

[21:57] <+Grendel> ((Bah!))
[21:57] <@BradGM> ((sucks))
[21:59] <@BradGM> You calibrate your aupex and manages to detect the sprayskin you should be able to track it as long as you can detect it
[22:00] <+Grendel> "The machine spirit can track it as long as it is able to detect the sprayskin."
[22:01] <+Mira_Atella> "Good. But do we want to follow it with no clear idea of what we'll be heading in to?"
[22:01] <+Mira_Atella> "If we don't, the trail might fade, of course."
[22:02] <+Lazerus_Grim> "With caution, I think we should at least see where it goes. Or at least get us close, and then my gifts may have a better chance at finding their present location, or even hideout."
[22:03] <+Grendel> "The last time this did not end too well."
[22:03] <@BradGM> ((or your dog with the blood trail could help too))
[22:04] <+Mira_Atella> "Getting close, even if we don't engage them now, would be better so we know where they are for later." She nods to Lazerus. "We'll just have to be careful not to get too close."
[22:05] * +Grendel studies the auspex carefully, noting the direction its indicating.
[22:05] <@BradGM> It goes down the alley toward the warehouses near the docks.
[22:06] * +Grendel motions in the direction. "The machine spirit is indicating that direction."
[22:06] <+Lazerus_Grim> 14Track 6Lazerus commands Demon, pointing to the blood on the ground right before the trail ends.
[22:07] <+Mira_Atella> "We'll follow you, don't want to mess up the trail."

[22:08] <+Servitor> Lazerus_Grim: 68 Failure by 2 degrees!
[22:09] * +Grendel sets out, paying close attention to the auspex, making sure to keep it on the trail.
[22:10] <@BradGM> Grendel, you follow the sprayskin trail, but leaving the alley system and going into a more passing streets, mostly carts hauling goods and beats, the aupex is having difficulty and the trail weakens!
[22:10] <@BradGM> Roll tech-use -30 to get something back
[22:10] <+Lazerus_Grim> 14It's alright, Come. 6Lazerus communicates as Demon lets out a whimper, unable to find the scent. They both fall in behind Grendel, keeping some distance and maintaining Preternatural Awareness.

[22:12] <+Grendel> ((only have the 1 point heh, already spent it))
[22:14] <@BradGM> Unfortunately, the many, scent of the salty sea, beasts, men and sweat doens't help you and you loose the sprayskin trail
[22:14] * +Grendel makes a noise in binary as the machine spirit loses the trail, shaking his head. "The trail is occluded by too many people passing by."
[22:15] <+Lazerus_Grim> 14Track, 6Lazerus orders, hoping that Demon might be able to pick it up long enough to keep the Tech-Priest going.

[22:16] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((still got one trick up my sleave))
[22:17] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((sleeve*))
[22:17] <@BradGM> Demon seems to pick a scent and he simply goes for the near-by bitch in heat.
[22:17] <+Mira_Atella> "If we can't track them, wandering the city aimlessly wouldn't prove useful. We might need to take what we found in that house and go north. Something we found could match information they already have."
[22:18] <+Lazerus_Grim> 14Come! 6Lazerus command firmly, adding emphasis by snapping his fingers and pointing to the ground beside him.
[22:18] <+Lazerus_Grim> !dhroll 40
[22:18] <+Servitor> Lazerus_Grim: 92 Failure by 5 degrees!
[22:18] <+Lazerus_Grim> 6Demon doesn't listen.
[22:19] <+Grendel> ((this is what happens when you rely on flesh and sorcery instead of technology))
[22:19] <@BradGM> ((says the techno-cleric))
[22:20] * +Lazerus_Grim shakes his head at the dog and ignores him. Concentrating on the arrow in his hands, he let's his mind focus on the psychic residue from their attackers, hoping to find one of them in this city (manifesting Dowsing).
[22:20] <@BradGM> Mira, the people in this part of town is more of the labourer types, hard, strong men loading and unloading and freighting the masny, many goods being moved around

[22:22] <+Servitor> Lazerus_Grim: 80 Success by 2 degrees!
[22:22] * +Grendel continues to study his auspex, looking for any sign of the spray.
[22:22] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((Perils of the Warp - feel free to attack me now))
[22:23] <@BradGM> ((roll 1d100 again))

[22:24] <@BradGM> http://dark-heresy.wikispaces.com/Santion+Wardens
[22:24] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((as per the Cell Directive that you all bought, you can make a free attack and try to do at least 1 point of damage to keep me from manifesting it))
[22:25] <+Mira_Atella> (( ah ))
[22:25] <@BradGM> ((brb bathroom, make your attacks))
[22:26] <+Mira_Atella> (( erm.. so it's just like a normal attack? That's seems odd, but okay ))
[22:26] <+Grendel> ((hmm))
[22:26] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((yeah, you're trying to distract me so i break concentration and don't manifest the power))
[22:26] <+Mira_Atella> (( and hopefully not fatally wounding you in the process heh ))
[22:27] <+Grendel> ((Does the weapon have to be available?))
[22:27] <+Grendel> ((Well, readied I guess))
[22:27] <@BradGM> ((it is an attack; a punch or kick , as long as it makes 1 wiund, is an attack))
[22:29] * +Grendel fires up the chainscalpel and attempts to break the concentration of the psyker with a quick, non-killing blow
[22:32] <+Grendel> ((just a standard WS test?))
[22:32] <@BradGM> ((yes))
[22:33] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((but combine it with a battle cry for added awesomeness - "Suffer not the witch to live!))

[22:36] * +Mira_Atella feels something wrong and looks over at Lazerus, "Oh no you don't.." She pulls her mono blade and flips it open as she pivots on one foot to gain momentum, aiming at the shoulder of his closest to her.
[22:36] <+Mira_Atella> !dhroll 39

[22:42] <+Servitor> The attack flays the skin from the limb, filling the air with blood and the sounds of his screaming. The
[22:42] <+Servitor> target falls prone from the agony and takes 2 levels of Fatigue. The limb is useless for 1d10 Rounds.
[22:42] <@BradGM> As the mono blade hits home, Lazerus looses his concentrationa nd control over the warp energy he was conjuring up
[22:43] * +Mira_Atella winces as Lazerus falls and cries out, seeing the blood spraying. She quickly closes the knife and puts it away, "I'm sorry Grimm, but we don't know how much worse the alternative could have been."
[22:43] * +Lazerus_Grim screams as Mira rips skin from his shoulder. He involuntarily drops his scythe and clutches the arm as he slowly fades out, losing consciousness and falling to the ground, limp.
[22:44] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((Fatigue 2 puts me unconscious))
[22:44] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((for 8 minutes))
[22:44] <+Mira_Atella> "Grendel, help me get him somewhere so you can help him?" She leans down and picks up his scythe in one hand and grabs Laz with her other.
[22:45] * +Grendel leans down and grabs the man by the uninjured arm and starts to pulling him back to the alley and the building, his optical and medicae mechadendrites looking over the Psyker.
[22:46] * +Grendel puts the mechadendrite to use as he starts to patch up the various injuries the Psyker has. "He should have told me before he was not operating at full capacity."
[22:46] <+Mira_Atella> "I didn't mean to hit him that hard.. maybe he was already wounded and hiding the fact from us?" Pulls on him as well.
[22:46] <@BradGM> Mira hit seems to ahve put the Old man over the edge; Despite staying up, he was more hurt than he let it known.
[22:49] <+Grendel> ((Standard first aid test?))
[22:49] <@BradGM> ((yes; a sucess will give him a single wound point, but he will be concious.))
[22:49] <+Grendel> !dhroll 63
[22:49] <+Servitor> Grendel: 31 Success by 3 degrees!
[22:50] <@BradGM> You patch Lazerus and give him a few injections to get him up and running.
[22:50] * +Grendel goes to work on the psyker, the chainscapel whirling as the medicae mechadendrite clicks and hisses, repairing the hurt man.
[22:52] * +Lazerus_Grim sitting against the wall of the alley, he holds his arm. Demon has returned and is growling at Mira, but seems more concered with licking his master well again than exacting retribution.
[22:53] <+Lazerus_Grim> "I may have underestimated my level of injury," 6he says with a smirk.
[22:53] <+Grendel> "Perhaps we should wait until he has a chance to be mended. You would be able to investigate our contact, while I Try to see if the Sisters have anything that may allow me to identify this cloth."
[22:55] * +Lazerus_Grim closes his eyes, about to manifest more powers, but he shoots one eye open, looking at Mira. 6"Want to ready something a little less lethal?"
[22:55] * +Mira_Atella nods, looking down at Lazerus, "Don't expect an apology, you had some crazy on your face and it looked like it was getting worse. I did what I needed to. You shouldn't have hid your other injuries."
[22:56] <+Lazerus_Grim> "Touche," 1he closes his eyes again and concentrates (manifesting Dull Pain, and then Healer).
[22:56] * +Mira_Atella thinks of what she has with her... 6 knives, a mono blade, and a sniper rifle. "I think you might want to hold off."

[22:59] <@BradGM> ((you should get some blackjacks or shock batons))
[22:59] * +Grendel glances down at the psyker. "The statistical liklihood of that seems to be low."
[23:00] <+Mira_Atella> "Do you need to go back to the Temple and rest?"
[23:01] * +Lazerus_Grim shakes his head. 1"I'll just have you look me over on the train ride north, Grendel."
[23:02] <+Grendel> "Perhaps Mira should interview our contact by herself."
[23:03] <+Lazerus_Grim> "True. You could go find and talk to Darius while I rest a bit, and then we can meet up and head north."
[23:04] <+Mira_Atella> "That could work. They would less suspicious of one person rather than three."
[23:05] * +Grendel nods, using his mechadendrite to keep an eye out.
