[20:34] <BradGM> You quickly search the room, and it does not take long for you to find a hidden door way behind the masses fishnests and decorative wall carpet.
[20:34] <Lazerus> "You're the quickest, Mira, see if you can't track him down. We'll follow as best we can."
[20:35] <Mira> "Right now quick could be bad, we already had one trap."

[20:36] * @Grendel gets out the multi-key just incase as he examines the door as well.
[20:37] <BradGM> ((I would say with your combined successes, you can see this door was well hidden, and not really intended as trappe,d but simply hidden))

[20:42] <BradGM> ((Where is he?))

[20:48] <Mira> "Two out there, one looks harmless, but you never know. I'm going to make a break for it and go after the other one. Ready?"
[20:48] * @Grendel nods. "Go."
[20:49] * Mira she takes several deep breaths and uses the frame of the hidden door to propel herself in to the alley and towards the wall, looking for what the other person used to climb.
[20:49] * Lazerus follows after, charging towards the pan-handler with his scythe ready.
[20:50] <BradGM> You can see some support as he slips fomr view onto the roof of the buildings in front of you

[22:10] * Mira kneels down near Payne, but not within striking distance. "There are some offworlders with high tech weapons and armor. They tried to take my team out in full daylight, in the middle of town. What do you know?"
[22:11] <Mira> "They are also connected to a murder of a family 6 months ago in Maxwell."
[22:12] <BradGM> Payne "Dunno about those outwrodlers, but that Maxwell hit was done by the Bryton Brothers, I'll bet my life *cough* or what's elft of it on it. Got their style all over it
[22:13] <Mira> "And who are they? Where do they run, all that good stuff."
[22:15] <BradGM> Payne "Assassins..brothers, all look the same, from the Southern continent. Real professionnal, some say they're half deamon, but that's just the fear talking. Few saw them, I did a few times."
[22:16] <Mira> "Why did they do the attack in Maxwell, and then come after us?"
[22:16] <@Grendel> "How many of them?"
[22:17] <BradGM> Payne "Three."
[22:17] <BradGM> Payne "That I don't know..they're not working for me that I swear it on Terra."
[22:18] * Mira narrows her eyes at Payne, "Remember what I said about lying? You're still knocking on death's door and my friend's tools can do more than heal."
[22:18] <Mira> (( we know there's more than 3, right? ))
[22:18] <BradGM> ((well, bowmen assasin that is therE's 3 of those...as for whoevcer is backing the whole operations with the xenos and all..yeah there's more))
[22:19] <BradGM> Payne "I swear I don't! I'm not in the busines of having poepl killed in broadday light in a crowd! I have pull, but even I am not this powerful."
[22:19] * Mira looks over at Grendel again, "That leg is looking pretty nasty, I think cutting it off might be in order." Looks back at Payne, "Your jumping days might be over though."
[22:20] <@Grendel> "Perhaps. Who would they be working for?"
[22:22] <BradGM> Payne "Someone powerful..like a noble..maybe whoever had your boss lookin, for answers.." *He looks nastly at Mira.*
[22:22] <Mira> "I never said we had a boss, so what makes you think we do?"
[22:23] <BradGM> Payne "I'm talking, work your snap machine and fix on my leg more!"
[22:24] * @Grendel shrugs. "Someone like that is on the planet and you do not know?"
[22:26] <BradGM> Payne "I don't do politics. Not my thing, metal man."
[22:28] * @Grendel shrugs and glances at Mira.
[22:28] <BradGM> Payne to Mira "You must have if you,re looking into this dead noble in another town."
[22:29] * Mira looks up for a minute at the sky, "I don't think you've given us enough for what went down tonight. Decapitated head now sitting in your establishment and all. Good luck with the leg." She stands back up.
[22:29] <Mira> 'And you know, all the other things that you'll probably die from in a few minutes."
[22:31] <BradGM> Payne "Oh really? well, I'll die knowing where they might be, and you won't! You got to use your thing again, fix me good this time."
[22:31] <@Grendel> "Tell us where they are, and I will."
[22:32] <Mira> "I like that you think you can bargain here, shows some spine. You know, the one that's probably no longer working."
[22:33] <BradGM> PAyne "I'm..going to die, I tell you first, I still die, I live, you know. That's how simple it is."
[22:35] <Mira> "There's at least one person I didn't kill today, because he told me what I wanted to know. Your odds are decent enough, so you talk first."

[22:42] <BradGM> Payne kept silent for a moment as his will to live gets higher. "Meat district! I hear they were hiding in an old butchery in the meat district. There, now help me..I'm getting cold.."
[22:42] * Mira looks to Grendel again, "Up to you."
[22:44] * @Grendel shrugs and staunches a few more places that are bleeding. "I'd suggest surgery."
[22:46] <Mira> "I'll get out of the way, I don't really need more blood on me."
[22:46] <@Grendel> "Not here of course. I'm sure one of the local surgeons will work."
[22:47] * Lazerus mutters something about common decency and turns away, closing his eyes and thinking hard on the man's wounds (manifesting Healer, Staunch Bleeding, then Dull Pain, 1 dice each).

[22:59] * Lazerus is satisfied with Payne's pain, and turns to the others. 1"Not a lot of time to go looking through the Meat District, but we could try anyway."
[22:59] * Mira nods, "I think he's holding back still, but as you said, we're running out of time."
[23:00] <Lazerus> "Would you like to continue? I have a few tricks up my sleeve if we need more information."

[23:07] <BradGM> Payne leaves, slowly walking away.
[23:08] <Mira> "So, meat district."
[23:08] * Lazerus nods, trying to recall the layout of the city.
[23:09] * @Grendel nods.
[23:09] <@Grendel> "A butchery."
[23:10] <BradGM> Lazerus, with the talk you had around the city with its inhabitants, you figured it's in the western part of Arnhut.
[23:11] <Lazerus> "Western part of the city, if I recall. I'll lead the way."
[23:11] * Mira nods and follows.
[23:12] * @Grendel checks over his weapons and nods and follows.
[23:12] * Lazerus heads off towards the butchery.
[23:14] <BradGM> ((ok if we stop it here?))

[20:34] <Lazerus> "You're the quickest, Mira, see if you can't track him down. We'll follow as best we can."
[20:35] <Mira> "Right now quick could be bad, we already had one trap."

[20:48] <Mira> "Two out there, one looks harmless, but you never know. I'm going to make a break for it and go after the other one. Ready?"
[20:48] * @Grendel nods. "Go."
[20:49] * Mira she takes several deep breaths and uses the frame of the hidden door to propel herself in to the alley and towards the wall, looking for what the other person used to climb.
[20:49] * Lazerus follows after, charging towards the pan-handler with his scythe ready.
[20:50] <BradGM> You can see some support as he slips fomr view onto the roof of the buildings in front of you
[20:50] <BradGM> ((can climb it at +10, or use acrobatics))

[22:10] * Mira kneels down near Payne, but not within striking distance. "There are some offworlders with high tech weapons and armor. They tried to take my team out in full daylight, in the middle of town. What do you know?"
[22:11] <Mira> "They are also connected to a murder of a family 6 months ago in Maxwell."
[22:12] <BradGM> Payne "Dunno about those outwrodlers, but that Maxwell hit was done by the Bryton Brothers, I'll bet my life *cough* or what's elft of it on it. Got their style all over it
[22:13] <Mira> "And who are they? Where do they run, all that good stuff."
[22:15] <BradGM> Payne "Assassins..brothers, all look the same, from the Southern continent. Real professionnal, some say they're half deamon, but that's just the fear talking. Few saw them, I did a few times."
[22:16] <Mira> "Why did they do the attack in Maxwell, and then come after us?"
[22:16] <@Grendel> "How many of them?"
[22:17] <BradGM> Payne "Three."
[22:17] <BradGM> Payne "That I don't know..they're not working for me that I swear it on Terra."
[22:18] * Mira narrows her eyes at Payne, "Remember what I said about lying? You're still knocking on death's door and my friend's tools can do more than heal."
[22:18] <Mira> (( we know there's more than 3, right? ))
[22:18] <BradGM> ((well, bowmen assasin that is therE's 3 of those...as for whoevcer is backing the whole operations with the xenos and all..yeah there's more))

[22:19] * Mira looks over at Grendel again, "That leg is looking pretty nasty, I think cutting it off might be in order." Looks back at Payne, "Your jumping days might be over though."
[22:20] <@Grendel> "Perhaps. Who would they be working for?"
[22:22] <BradGM> Payne "Someone powerful..like a noble..maybe whoever had your boss lookin, for answers.." *He looks nastly at Mira.*
[22:22] <Mira> "I never said we had a boss, so what makes you think we do?"
[22:23] <BradGM> Payne "I'm talking, work your snap machine and fix on my leg more!"
[22:24] * @Grendel shrugs. "Someone like that is on the planet and you do not know?"
[22:26] <BradGM> Payne "I don't do politics. Not my thing, metal man."
[22:28] * @Grendel shrugs and glances at Mira.
[22:28] <BradGM> Payne to Mira "You must have if you,re looking into this dead noble in another town."
[22:29] * Mira looks up for a minute at the sky, "I don't think you've given us enough for what went down tonight. Decapitated head now sitting in your establishment and all. Good luck with the leg." She stands back up.
[22:29] <Mira> 'And you know, all the other things that you'll probably die from in a few minutes."
[22:31] <BradGM> Payne "Oh really? well, I'll die knowing where they might be, and you won't! You got to use your thing again, fix me good this time."
[22:31] <@Grendel> "Tell us where they are, and I will."
[22:32] <Mira> "I like that you think you can bargain here, shows some spine. You know, the one that's probably no longer working."
[22:33] <BradGM> PAyne "I'm..going to die, I tell you first, I still die, I live, you know. That's how simple it is."
[22:35] <Mira> "There's at least one person I didn't kill today, because he told me what I wanted to know. Your odds are decent enough, so you talk first."

[22:42] * Mira looks to Grendel again, "Up to you."
[22:44] * @Grendel shrugs and staunches a few more places that are bleeding. "I'd suggest surgery."
[22:46] <Mira> "I'll get out of the way, I don't really need more blood on me."
[22:46] <@Grendel> "Not here of course. I'm sure one of the local surgeons will work."
[22:47] * Lazerus mutters something about common decency and turns away, closing his eyes and thinking hard on the man's wounds (manifesting Healer, Staunch Bleeding, then Dull Pain, 1 dice each).

[22:49] <Lazerus> ((and Demon wounded stop whining in his head))
[22:51] <Lazerus> ((wouldn't))
[22:51] <BradGM> Payne suddenly looks better, even slowly standing.

[22:56] <BradGM> His condition got better, but he is still suffering serious wounds.
[22:59] * Lazerus is satisfied with Payne's pain, and turns to the others. 1"Not a lot of time to go looking through the Meat District, but we could try anyway."
[22:59] * Mira nods, "I think he's holding back still, but as you said, we're running out of time."
[23:00] <Lazerus> "Would you like to continue? I have a few tricks up my sleeve if we need more information."

[23:08] * Lazerus nods, trying to recall the layout of the city.
[23:09] * @Grendel nods.
[23:09] <@Grendel> "A butchery."
[23:10] <BradGM> Lazerus, with the talk you had around the city with its inhabitants, you figured it's in the western part of Arnhut.
[23:11] <Lazerus> "Western part of the city, if I recall. I'll lead the way."
[23:11] * Mira nods and follows.
[23:12] * @Grendel checks over his weapons and nods and follows.
[23:12] * Lazerus heads off towards the butchery.
