[20:10] <@BradGM> +++Thought of the Day: Ask How Can You Serve, Not Why.+++
[20:10] <@BradGM> +++Location: Shadowed alley close to an old butchery/Roof-Alley near slaughterhouse, Meat District, Arnhut, Sisk+++
[20:10] <@BradGM> +++2218Hours- Arnhut Time+++
[20:10] <@BradGM> +++ Mira killed one of the Bryton Brothers with a solid headshot, while the mysterious forth man’s surprising ability to hover and be extremely agile in mid-air was too much for Grendel’s precise targeting, allowing the mark to reach the rooftops and a mean of escape, but the assassin left her position and was hot on his tail.
[20:10] <@BradGM> Meanwhile The Tech-Priest and Lazerus stormed the old butchery, killing the remaining Bryton Brothers; even if it was found they were but pawns in a greater scheme, revenge was obtained for now. While the assassin ran hard over roofs against her pray, making risky jumps over street and alleys with ease, the man having stopped, waiting to confront Mira.
[20:11] <@BradGM> . Unfortunately, her body did not follow her will and needed rest from the mad dash as she confronted him, letting time for the mysterious man, who sounds rather familiar to the woman, to tell them to leave Sisk right now.
[20:11] <@BradGM> As this was not an option, the blacken silhouette pulled his pistols and began firing at Mira, who hid in plain sight using her cameleonite cloak, her fellow acolytes closing-in on their location. +++

[20:12] * Mira tries to remain as quiet and still as possible.

[20:24] * Grendel begins to work his way up carefully, not wanting to have the primitive materials collapse beneath him.
[20:26] <@BradGM> roll silent move

[20:42] <Servitor> BradGM: 48 Success by 0 degrees!
[20:43] <@BradGM> Despite your best effort, he turns his head ever so slightly; he knows you are there.
[20:43] <@BradGM> ((you can act if you want))
[20:43] <Grendel> ((full action, or did I use half getting up here?))
[20:45] <@BradGM> ((full))
[20:45] * Grendel brings his ballistic mechadendrite around and targets the man, firing off a semi-auto burst.
[20:46] <@BradGM> ((he's 13 meters away))
[20:48] <Grendel> ((Short range then, +10, and then +10 from semi-burst))

[20:48] <@BradGM> His hovering makes it diffuicult to get a bead on him!
[20:49] * Grendel frowns as his rounds rocket out into the darkness.

[21:01] <@BradGM> He still seems to manage to spot the distortion created by the camelaonite
[21:01] <@BradGM> Grendel
[21:01] * Grendel brings his Death Light lasgun to bear on the man and fires off a burst from this weapon.
[21:02] <@BradGM> ((you got quickdraw?))
[21:03] <Grendel> ((hmm, nope. Guess I would've slung it when I was climbing, so...draw and single shot?))

[21:04] <Grendel> ((bastard))

[21:04] <@BradGM> He spins into the air without any trust or swing, and evade your shot
[21:05] <@BradGM> He hovers away from Grendel and from Mira, whipping out his other pistol and firing a shot at Grendel

[21:08] <@BradGM> New round! Mira

[21:10] <Mira> !dhroll 74
[21:10] <Servitor> Mira: 52 Success by 2 degrees!
[21:11] <@BradGM> ((you would be 5 meters away now, fyi))

[21:13] <@BradGM> !dhroll 54
[21:13] <Servitor> BradGM: 66 Failure by 1 degree!
[21:13] <@BradGM> The man seems to be looking for you for now
[21:13] <@BradGM> Grendel
[21:14] * Grendel brings his lagun up, center mass on the man, intones the ritual of firing and unleashes a series of coherent beams at the man.
[21:14] <Grendel> !dhroll 57
[21:14] <Servitor> Grendel: 36 Success by 2 degrees!
[21:15] <@BradGM> !dhroll 97

[21:16] <Servitor> Grendel: 7:2+5
[21:16] <Grendel> Pen 2
[21:16] <@BradGM> ((it's tearing?)_)
[21:17] <Grendel> ((I hit with 3 total, he dodged one?))
[21:19] <@BradGM> ((it's semi-auto: so 1 for a hit, then a shot lands every 2 DoS))
[21:19] <Grendel> ((oh wait, semi is extra hit per 2 degress of success...never mind. Just one roll then :) ))
[21:20] <@BradGM> He twirls around the air, dodging the first shot, but the second one lands in his leg! He grabs the wound, but quickly let go. And despite this, he is still hovering in place
[21:20] <@BradGM> Man "You had your chance; you ahve been warned. Leave or die."
[21:21] <@BradGM> He reaches for soemthing in one of his pouch and activates it.
[21:21] <@BradGM> A loud and bright flash of lgihtning htis the man. As you look again, he is gone.
[21:23] * Grendel brings his weapon around, sweeping the roof for any sign of the man as he considers what he just saw and compares it to an Imperial Transporter.
[21:23] * Mira blinks and sees spots for a few moments as she was so close.
[21:24] <@BradGM> You can roll Forbidden lore (archeotech) Grendel))
[21:25] <@BradGM> ((BRB))
[21:26] <Grendel> ((don't have it unfortunately))
[21:30] <@BradGM> *((back))
[21:30] <@BradGM> ((oh...I thought you had it))
[21:31] <Grendel> ((I can, I just havne't yet :) ))
[21:31] <@BradGM> Out of combat for now; Lazerus arrives on top the scafholding as well
[21:32] * Grendel glances around, frowning. "The auspex registered Xenostech. I calculate that was how he was able to hover so efficiently."
[21:33] * Mira stands up from her crouched position, removing the cameleoline cloak and turning to face them. "There was something familiar about his voice."
[21:34] * Grendel considers the warning that he heard.
[21:34] * Lazerus arrives at the top. 1"What did you do with him?"
[21:35] <Mira> "He.. disappeared."
[21:35] <Grendel> "Some form of Teleportation."
[21:36] <@BradGM> ((but no skill to ID it to Imeperial archeotech for now))
[21:37] <Grendel> ((And test to see if I recognized his voice?))
[21:37] <@BradGM> ((you won't))
[21:37] <@BradGM> ((as yourslef, never met that man))
[21:37] <Grendel> ((Ah, k))
[21:38] * Grendel looks at Mira as he calculates the response of the local costabulary to lasgun fire and bolter fire. "Familiar how so? And we should remove ourselves from the area."
[21:38] <Grendel> ((brb))
[21:39] <Mira> "I can't really say right now. But yes, we should go."
[21:41] <@BradGM> ((back at the temple?))
[21:42] <@BradGM> ((or wait...get mira's rifle back THEN to the temple?))
[21:43] <Mira> (( Yes, rifle ))
[21:44] <@BradGM> You get Mira's rifle back and leave the area. You do cross a few running patrols of the Wqatch, armed with crossbows and seemingly tense, but a good usage of your stummer and claocks makes those easy obstacles to pass and you return to the temple, the Bryton Brothers dead, but still no closer to finding jex..and now this shadowman has entered the protrait.
[21:47] <@BradGM> ((anyone want to discuss things or forward to next morning?))
[21:48] <Grendel> ((Back))
[21:48] <Mira> (( forward is fine with me, Mira will want to rest ))
[21:49] <Grendel> ((Fast forward is fine...Grendel doesn't have the materials here to implant a cogitator engine into Mira's brain so she'll remember where she heard the voice, so he won't offer))
[21:49] <Mira> (( ... yay? ))
[21:50] <@BradGM> Next morning, after first mass and another prayer ritual for Elana, enforced of course, a man armed with a shotgun and wearing a flak coat is brought to you by an neonate.
[21:50] <@BradGM> Man "You Mira?"
[21:50] * Mira looks him over for a moment, "Yes, can I help you?"
[21:51] * Grendel ensures that his items are packed by the most efficient mechanicus algorithims possible.
[21:52] <@BradGM> *He reaches inside his coat and takes out a sealed piece of parchemin "Darius send me. I got to give you those."
[21:53] * Mira nods, "Thank you." She takes the item and slips it in to her bag.
[21:54] <@BradGM> *He head's up you and leaves.
[21:54] <Mira> "Tickets are here." She looks at the time.
[21:54] * Grendel checks to see how much time they have.
[21:55] <@BradGM> it is 0646 now
[21:55] <@BradGM> ((30 min or so to reach the train station in the smiths districts))
[21:55] <Mira> "We shouldn't wait too long. Missing the train would be bad."
[21:56] <@BradGM> ((and hilarious for me))
[21:57] <Mira> (( :P ))
[21:57] <@BradGM> ((before you leave; what are you doing with Elana and her gear?))
[21:57] <@BradGM> ((Leaving it all there, tkaing some, taking her with you?))
[21:57] <Grendel> ((let me look at her sheet))
[21:58] <Mira> (( She'd be better here, and would they really let us take any of her stuff? Seems unlikely to me lol ))
[21:58] <Lazerus> ((not to mention that Elana would kill us))
[21:58] <Mira> (( There's that, yeah ))
[21:59] <@BradGM> ((((true, but what does peasants know about maintaining modern tech like a bolt weapon?))
[21:59] <@BradGM> ((or know NOT to pull that pin on that 'nade))
[22:00] <Grendel> ((aren't there Sisters here? Not necessarily Militant, but other Sisters?))
[22:00] <@BradGM> ((not from any militant order, no.))
[22:00] <@BradGM> ((I would say Elana's bneen under a couple of Hospitaliers, care.))
[22:01] <@BradGM> ((At least one and some novice type))
[22:01] <Mira> (( I'd say if anything, we'd take the pistols ;) ))
[22:01] <Grendel> ((hospitallers should have sufficient training not to blow themselves up?))
[22:01] <@BradGM> ((Yes))
[22:02] <Grendel> ((Grendel will take the Krak grenades much to the group's chagrin I'm sure. He's recommend not taking anything else))
[22:03] <Mira> (( I think what just happened would be a good reason for the pistols to go with them since Mira had to leave her rifle, and then had no way to attack the guy for like 5 rounds till you guys could get there, or he might not have gotten away ))
[22:04] <Grendel> ((I'm still trying to figure out why you didn't charge and melee him :) ))
[22:04] <@BradGM> ((yeah- it was mostly because apart from Grendel, no one got nothing else than sniper and melee))
[22:04] <Mira> (( she was about to sneak up on him and attack lol but he did have two guns, and he was flying ))
[22:04] <@BradGM> ((yeah- I tohught you could and totally go bat-shit assassin crazy on him))
[22:04] <Grendel> ((Can you handle bolt pistols?))
[22:05] <Mira> (( not.. yet ))
[22:06] <Mira> (( Well either way is fine heh ))
[22:07] <@BradGM> ((you know, it's an obvious wepaon you got to hide somehow, but it is effective and a pistol))
[22:07] <@BradGM> ((just saying- your call, just giving out some options.))
[22:07] <@BradGM> ((you could buy some flintlock pistol and fit in more))
[22:07] <Grendel> ((up to you. I'm sure Mira will look good as a Flagellant))
[22:07] <Mira> (( better leave them.. yeah, I was thinking should be able to buy something when we get there ))
[22:09] <@BradGM> ((so taking...the Kraks?))
[22:09] <@BradGM> (or nothing))
[22:10] <Grendel> ((The kraks))
[22:10] <Grendel> ((they're not SoB issue only,right?))
[22:11] <@BradGM> ((she got them from bradon))
[22:12] * Mira gives Grendel a strange look about the grenades, but keeps quiet as she double checks her gear and readies to leave.
[22:12] <Mira> (( hehe, there's your disapproving look from someone you blew up ;) ))
[22:13] * Grendel packs them away after intoning the litany of the rabbit.
[22:13] <@BradGM> ((in 6 hours, hE'll have 12 kraks!))
[22:15] <@BradGM> Cleric Elon approahcs you as you leave the temple. He waives his retinue back. "Tell me, you are leaving?"
[22:16] <Mira> "Temporarily.. the group that hurt the Sister are on the move. We'll be back for her once that is handled."
[22:18] <@BradGM> Elon "There is word that the Gouliean Bryton Brothers were found slaughtered in...abnormal fashion. Were they invovled in this heresy?"
[22:19] <Grendel> ((The holy lasgun is not abnormal!))
[22:20] <@BradGM> Elon "The cowardly attack on Sister Elana bearing their mark, then they appear dead with witness of outworlding weaponry beign used."
[22:20] <@BradGM> ((no but being burn becasue you caugh fire and you head cracked open, yes.))
[22:20] * Mira gives him a rather stern look, "It's probably better if you don't know all the details. Just know the problem is being taken care of so this won't happen again."
[22:21] <Lazerus> ((brb))
[22:22] <Grendel> "The Omnissiah's blessing on all here." He makes the sign of the cog.
[22:23] <@BradGM> Elon "Aaahh..blessed ye be all for your blessed deed of redemption and revenge." *He motions to an neonyte who brings him some pendants "The God-Emperor Protects, He will guide your strike against this degrading flith that darken its faithful."
[22:24] <@BradGM> You each get a silver aquila pendant.
[22:25] <Mira> "Thank you. If you'll excuse us, we have a transport to catch." She checks the fasteners on her bag after taking the pendant.
[22:25] * Grendel makes the sign of the cog with his mechadednrites as he puts on the trinket.
[22:26] <@BradGM> Elon seems rather irritated by the continuous cog sign in the Emperor's Temple
[22:27] <@BradGM> Elon "Yes, You may got now."
[22:28] * Lazerus takes the pendant and dons it before making the sign of the aquila and turning to go
[22:29] <@BradGM> ((count as a charm btw))
[22:29] <Grendel> ((Seemed the easiest way to get him to let us go :) ))
[22:30] <@BradGM> You exit into Arnhut, the city starting to buzzle with its daily activity
[22:30] <Mira> (( so subtle ;) ))
[22:30] * Mira takes the delivery from her bag and opens it, making sure the tickets are there and to see if anything else of importance came with them.
[22:33] <Grendel> ((Thta's as subtle as you get with 19 Fellowship))
[22:35] * Grendel peers over Mira's shoulder with his optical mechadendrite.
[22:35] <@BradGM> It containts the tickets, numbered 4-C and another letter as welland inside it, it is written "I have a store in Maxwell, 6th Square, Eastern Ring, the man there, Rolin, is a trustworthy man, my eyes and ears there, but knows nothing of our assosiate's business. Emperor protects."
[22:38] * Mira recites the pertinent parts of the note for the others, not noticing Grendel's mechadendrite.
[22:38] * Mira hands out the tickets to each of them as well.
[22:38] <Mira> "I hope they don't mind the dog."
[22:40] * Grendel tucks away the ticket. "We should get a move on."
[22:40] * Mira nods and begins the walk to the station.
[22:43] <@BradGM> The train station is located almost at the far end of the smithys, where the men transported goods are being loaded by labour-servitors into 3 5 meters high boxcars right beside the coal wagon and the 50 meter long, 10 meter high locomotive. Behind those, are metal wagon were rich types, emrchants and nobles, are loading up....
[22:46] <@BradGM> into the next 2 wagons, followed by an enclosed wagon and then the luggage wagon at the far end. There is also 20-25 Imperial equipped mercenaries are standing behind flak boards on the top of tall wagons,e xcept the boxcars, which have some protection, but no one there.
[22:47] * Grendel glances along the tain, examining the mechanics of it, while his optical mechadendrite looks for signs that match his ticket.
[22:47] <@BradGM> ((you can roll awarness visual -30 if you'd like))
[22:48] <Grendel> !dhroll 14
[22:48] <Servitor> Grendel: 59 Failure by 4 degrees!
[22:49] * Mira looks around as well for where they should be headed.
[22:49] <Mira> (( same mod? ))
[22:50] <@BradGM> ((yup))
[22:50] <Mira> !dhroll 24
[22:50] <Servitor> Mira: 17 Success by 0 degrees!
[22:50] <@BradGM> You see that the 4 must be the 4th wagon, and -C some section or seat.
[22:51] <@BradGM> Mira you see some small visual distortion on the boxcars, like Cameleonite.
[22:52] <Mira> "Keep on your toes, this train is more guarded than it appears."
[22:52] <Grendel> "How so?"
[22:53] <Mira> "I'm not going to point, but I'm not the only one with a cameleonite cloak today."
[22:54] * Grendel frowns and studies the train closer.
[22:56] * Lazerus starts towards the door to their car, Demon at his heels.
[22:56] <Mira> "We should find our seats and worry about them later."
[22:57] <Grendel> "There do not appear to be any electronic seat assignment locators."
[22:58] <@BradGM> The C is in fact a small enclosed section of the wagon, with modern seat, but local stuffing and leather work. Ther eis 2 benech seat and a wide window.
[22:59] * Mira takes a seat on one of the benches.
[23:00] <@BradGM> Despite being a high wagon, the cabin is only 3 meters high.
[23:01] * Grendel examines the train and takes whichever seat looks like it will accomodate his bulk.
[23:03] <@BradGM> It takes another 30 minutes of set-up and rituals before you finaly leave Arnhut
[23:05] <Grendel> "Should we visit this Rolin first, or examine the town?"
[23:07] <Mira> "We should probably see him first so we don't spend undue time wandering aimlessly."
[23:08] * Grendel peers out the window, examining the rate of speed that the train is producing. "A wise choice."
[23:09] <@BradGM> About 10 minutes later, there is a knock at your door
[23:10] * Mira opens her eyes, having been relaxing, looking at the other two but not saying anything.
[23:11] * Grendel fishes his ticket out of where he pocket it, while letting the ballistic mechadendrite point at the door from underneath the cloak. "Yes?"
[23:11] * Mira slides two of her knives out and conceals them in her hands and against her forearms.
[23:11] <@BradGM> Grendel, the train is going a good speed for a simplisti machine spirit; you'd figure about 45 km/h or so
[23:11] <@BradGM> There is a small, masked, tracked servitor. "Tickets please."
[23:13] * Grendel greets the servitor in binary and hands across his ticket.
[23:13] * Mira grabs her ticket with her fingertips and extends it to the servitor.
[23:15] <@BradGM> He punches your tickets with a marking stamp. "That is all. Refreshments will be served in 19.3 minutes. Arrival in 3 hours, 46 minutes." He twist on himself and go down the hall
[23:15] <@BradGM> ((and ok if we stop it here?))
[23:16] <Mira> (( sure ))
[23:16] <Grendel> ((Seems like a good spot, before we have to stop the train robbery :) ))
[23:16] <Mira> (( :P ))
[23:16] <@BradGM> ((please, how cliché))
[23:16] * Grendel frowns at the lack of seconds for the arrival time.

[20:10] <@BradGM> +++2218Hours- Arnhut Time+++
[20:10] <@BradGM> +++ Mira killed one of the Bryton Brothers with a solid headshot, while the mysterious forth man’s surprising ability to hover and be extremely agile in mid-air was too much for Grendel’s precise targeting, allowing the mark to reach the rooftops and a mean of escape, but the assassin left her position and was hot on his tail.
[20:10] <@BradGM> Meanwhile The Tech-Priest and Lazerus stormed the old butchery, killing the remaining Bryton Brothers; even if it was found they were but pawns in a greater scheme, revenge was obtained for now. While the assassin ran hard over roofs against her pray, making risky jumps over street and alleys with ease, the man having stopped, waiting to confront Mira.
[20:11] <@BradGM> . Unfortunately, her body did not follow her will and needed rest from the mad dash as she confronted him, letting time for the mysterious man, who sounds rather familiar to the woman, to tell them to leave Sisk right now.
[20:11] <@BradGM> As this was not an option, the blacken silhouette pulled his pistols and began firing at Mira, who hid in plain sight using her cameleonite cloak, her fellow acolytes closing-in on their location. +++

[20:43] <@BradGM> Despite your best effort, he turns his head ever so slightly; he knows you are there.
[20:43] <@BradGM> ((you can act if you want))
[20:43] <Grendel> ((full action, or did I use half getting up here?))
[20:45] <@BradGM> ((full))
[20:45] * Grendel brings his ballistic mechadendrite around and targets the man, firing off a semi-auto burst.

[21:01] <@BradGM> Grendel
[21:01] * Grendel brings his Death Light lasgun to bear on the man and fires off a burst from this weapon.
[21:02] <@BradGM> ((you got quickdraw?))
[21:03] <Grendel> ((hmm, nope. Guess I would've slung it when I was climbing, so...draw and single shot?))

[21:04] <@BradGM> He spins into the air without any trust or swing, and evade your shot

[21:13] <@BradGM> Grendel

[21:16] <Grendel> Pen 2
[21:16] <@BradGM> ((it's tearing?)_)
[21:17] <Grendel> ((I hit with 3 total, he dodged one?))
[21:19] <@BradGM> ((it's semi-auto: so 1 for a hit, then a shot lands every 2 DoS))
[21:19] <Grendel> ((oh wait, semi is extra hit per 2 degress of success...never mind. Just one roll then :) ))
[21:20] <@BradGM> He twirls around the air, dodging the first shot, but the second one lands in his leg! He grabs the wound, but quickly let go. And despite this, he is still hovering in place
[21:20] <@BradGM> Man "You had your chance; you ahve been warned. Leave or die."
[21:21] <@BradGM> He reaches for soemthing in one of his pouch and activates it.
[21:21] <@BradGM> A loud and bright flash of lgihtning htis the man. As you look again, he is gone.
[21:23] * Grendel brings his weapon around, sweeping the roof for any sign of the man as he considers what he just saw and compares it to an Imperial Transporter.
[21:23] * Mira blinks and sees spots for a few moments as she was so close.
[21:24] <@BradGM> You can roll Forbidden lore (archeotech) Grendel))
[21:25] <@BradGM> ((BRB))
[21:26] <Grendel> ((don't have it unfortunately))
[21:30] <@BradGM> *((back))
[21:30] <@BradGM> ((oh...I thought you had it))
[21:31] <Grendel> ((I can, I just havne't yet :) ))
[21:31] <@BradGM> Out of combat for now; Lazerus arrives on top the scafholding as well
[21:32] * Grendel glances around, frowning. "The auspex registered Xenostech. I calculate that was how he was able to hover so efficiently."
[21:33] * Mira stands up from her crouched position, removing the cameleoline cloak and turning to face them. "There was something familiar about his voice."
[21:34] * Grendel considers the warning that he heard.
[21:34] * Lazerus arrives at the top. 1"What did you do with him?"
[21:35] <Mira> "He.. disappeared."
[21:35] <Grendel> "Some form of Teleportation."
[21:36] <@BradGM> ((but no skill to ID it to Imeperial archeotech for now))
[21:37] <Grendel> ((And test to see if I recognized his voice?))
[21:37] <@BradGM> ((you won't))
[21:37] <@BradGM> ((as yourslef, never met that man))
[21:37] <Grendel> ((Ah, k))
[21:38] * Grendel looks at Mira as he calculates the response of the local costabulary to lasgun fire and bolter fire. "Familiar how so? And we should remove ourselves from the area."
[21:38] <Grendel> ((brb))
[21:39] <Mira> "I can't really say right now. But yes, we should go."
[21:41] <@BradGM> ((back at the temple?))
[21:42] <@BradGM> ((or wait...get mira's rifle back THEN to the temple?))
[21:43] <Mira> (( Yes, rifle ))
[21:44] <@BradGM> You get Mira's rifle back and leave the area. You do cross a few running patrols of the Wqatch, armed with crossbows and seemingly tense, but a good usage of your stummer and claocks makes those easy obstacles to pass and you return to the temple, the Bryton Brothers dead, but still no closer to finding jex..and now this shadowman has entered the protrait.
[21:47] <@BradGM> ((anyone want to discuss things or forward to next morning?))
[21:48] <Grendel> ((Back))
[21:48] <Mira> (( forward is fine with me, Mira will want to rest ))
[21:49] <Grendel> ((Fast forward is fine...Grendel doesn't have the materials here to implant a cogitator engine into Mira's brain so she'll remember where she heard the voice, so he won't offer))
[21:49] <Mira> (( ... yay? ))
[21:50] <@BradGM> Next morning, after first mass and another prayer ritual for Elana, enforced of course, a man armed with a shotgun and wearing a flak coat is brought to you by an neonate.
[21:50] <@BradGM> Man "You Mira?"
[21:50] * Mira looks him over for a moment, "Yes, can I help you?"
[21:51] * Grendel ensures that his items are packed by the most efficient mechanicus algorithims possible.
[21:52] <@BradGM> *He reaches inside his coat and takes out a sealed piece of parchemin "Darius send me. I got to give you those."
[21:53] * Mira nods, "Thank you." She takes the item and slips it in to her bag.
[21:54] <@BradGM> *He head's up you and leaves.
[21:54] <Mira> "Tickets are here." She looks at the time.
[21:54] * Grendel checks to see how much time they have.
[21:55] <@BradGM> it is 0646 now
[21:55] <@BradGM> ((30 min or so to reach the train station in the smiths districts))
[21:55] <Mira> "We shouldn't wait too long. Missing the train would be bad."
[21:56] <@BradGM> ((and hilarious for me))
[21:57] <Mira> (( :P ))
[21:57] <@BradGM> ((before you leave; what are you doing with Elana and her gear?))
[21:57] <@BradGM> ((Leaving it all there, tkaing some, taking her with you?))
[21:57] <Grendel> ((let me look at her sheet))
[21:58] <Mira> (( She'd be better here, and would they really let us take any of her stuff? Seems unlikely to me lol ))
[21:58] <Lazerus> ((not to mention that Elana would kill us))
[21:58] <Mira> (( There's that, yeah ))
[21:59] <@BradGM> ((((true, but what does peasants know about maintaining modern tech like a bolt weapon?))
[21:59] <@BradGM> ((or know NOT to pull that pin on that 'nade))
[22:00] <Grendel> ((aren't there Sisters here? Not necessarily Militant, but other Sisters?))
[22:00] <@BradGM> ((not from any militant order, no.))
[22:00] <@BradGM> ((I would say Elana's bneen under a couple of Hospitaliers, care.))
[22:01] <@BradGM> ((At least one and some novice type))
[22:01] <Mira> (( I'd say if anything, we'd take the pistols ;) ))
[22:01] <Grendel> ((hospitallers should have sufficient training not to blow themselves up?))
[22:01] <@BradGM> ((Yes))
[22:02] <Grendel> ((Grendel will take the Krak grenades much to the group's chagrin I'm sure. He's recommend not taking anything else))
[22:03] <Mira> (( I think what just happened would be a good reason for the pistols to go with them since Mira had to leave her rifle, and then had no way to attack the guy for like 5 rounds till you guys could get there, or he might not have gotten away ))
[22:04] <Grendel> ((I'm still trying to figure out why you didn't charge and melee him :) ))
[22:04] <@BradGM> ((yeah- it was mostly because apart from Grendel, no one got nothing else than sniper and melee))
[22:04] <Mira> (( she was about to sneak up on him and attack lol but he did have two guns, and he was flying ))
[22:04] <@BradGM> ((yeah- I tohught you could and totally go bat-shit assassin crazy on him))
[22:04] <Grendel> ((Can you handle bolt pistols?))
[22:05] <Mira> (( not.. yet ))
[22:06] <Mira> (( Well either way is fine heh ))
[22:07] <@BradGM> ((you know, it's an obvious wepaon you got to hide somehow, but it is effective and a pistol))
[22:07] <@BradGM> ((just saying- your call, just giving out some options.))
[22:07] <@BradGM> ((you could buy some flintlock pistol and fit in more))
[22:07] <Grendel> ((up to you. I'm sure Mira will look good as a Flagellant))
[22:07] <Mira> (( better leave them.. yeah, I was thinking should be able to buy something when we get there ))
[22:09] <@BradGM> ((so taking...the Kraks?))
[22:09] <@BradGM> (or nothing))
[22:10] <Grendel> ((The kraks))
[22:10] <Grendel> ((they're not SoB issue only,right?))
[22:11] <@BradGM> ((she got them from bradon))
[22:12] * Mira gives Grendel a strange look about the grenades, but keeps quiet as she double checks her gear and readies to leave.
[22:12] <Mira> (( hehe, there's your disapproving look from someone you blew up ;) ))
[22:13] * Grendel packs them away after intoning the litany of the rabbit.
[22:13] <@BradGM> ((in 6 hours, hE'll have 12 kraks!))
[22:15] <@BradGM> Cleric Elon approahcs you as you leave the temple. He waives his retinue back. "Tell me, you are leaving?"
[22:16] <Mira> "Temporarily.. the group that hurt the Sister are on the move. We'll be back for her once that is handled."
[22:18] <@BradGM> Elon "There is word that the Gouliean Bryton Brothers were found slaughtered in...abnormal fashion. Were they invovled in this heresy?"
[22:19] <Grendel> ((The holy lasgun is not abnormal!))
[22:20] <@BradGM> Elon "The cowardly attack on Sister Elana bearing their mark, then they appear dead with witness of outworlding weaponry beign used."
[22:20] <@BradGM> ((no but being burn becasue you caugh fire and you head cracked open, yes.))
[22:20] * Mira gives him a rather stern look, "It's probably better if you don't know all the details. Just know the problem is being taken care of so this won't happen again."
[22:21] <Lazerus> ((brb))
[22:22] <Grendel> "The Omnissiah's blessing on all here." He makes the sign of the cog.
[22:23] <@BradGM> Elon "Aaahh..blessed ye be all for your blessed deed of redemption and revenge." *He motions to an neonyte who brings him some pendants "The God-Emperor Protects, He will guide your strike against this degrading flith that darken its faithful."
[22:24] <@BradGM> You each get a silver aquila pendant.
[22:25] <Mira> "Thank you. If you'll excuse us, we have a transport to catch." She checks the fasteners on her bag after taking the pendant.
[22:25] * Grendel makes the sign of the cog with his mechadednrites as he puts on the trinket.
[22:26] <@BradGM> Elon seems rather irritated by the continuous cog sign in the Emperor's Temple
[22:27] <@BradGM> Elon "Yes, You may got now."
[22:28] * Lazerus takes the pendant and dons it before making the sign of the aquila and turning to go
[22:29] <@BradGM> ((count as a charm btw))
[22:29] <Grendel> ((Seemed the easiest way to get him to let us go :) ))
[22:30] <@BradGM> You exit into Arnhut, the city starting to buzzle with its daily activity
[22:30] <Mira> (( so subtle ;) ))
[22:30] * Mira takes the delivery from her bag and opens it, making sure the tickets are there and to see if anything else of importance came with them.
[22:33] <Grendel> ((Thta's as subtle as you get with 19 Fellowship))
[22:35] * Grendel peers over Mira's shoulder with his optical mechadendrite.
[22:35] <@BradGM> It containts the tickets, numbered 4-C and another letter as welland inside it, it is written "I have a store in Maxwell, 6th Square, Eastern Ring, the man there, Rolin, is a trustworthy man, my eyes and ears there, but knows nothing of our assosiate's business. Emperor protects."
[22:38] * Mira recites the pertinent parts of the note for the others, not noticing Grendel's mechadendrite.
[22:38] * Mira hands out the tickets to each of them as well.
[22:38] <Mira> "I hope they don't mind the dog."
[22:40] * Grendel tucks away the ticket. "We should get a move on."
[22:40] * Mira nods and begins the walk to the station.
[22:43] <@BradGM> The train station is located almost at the far end of the smithys, where the men transported goods are being loaded by labour-servitors into 3 5 meters high boxcars right beside the coal wagon and the 50 meter long, 10 meter high locomotive. Behind those, are metal wagon were rich types, emrchants and nobles, are loading up....
[22:46] <@BradGM> into the next 2 wagons, followed by an enclosed wagon and then the luggage wagon at the far end. There is also 20-25 Imperial equipped mercenaries are standing behind flak boards on the top of tall wagons,e xcept the boxcars, which have some protection, but no one there.
[22:47] * Grendel glances along the tain, examining the mechanics of it, while his optical mechadendrite looks for signs that match his ticket.
[22:47] <@BradGM> ((you can roll awarness visual -30 if you'd like))
[22:48] <Grendel> !dhroll 14
[22:48] <Servitor> Grendel: 59 Failure by 4 degrees!
[22:49] * Mira looks around as well for where they should be headed.
[22:49] <Mira> (( same mod? ))
[22:50] <@BradGM> ((yup))
[22:50] <Mira> !dhroll 24
[22:50] <Servitor> Mira: 17 Success by 0 degrees!
[22:50] <@BradGM> You see that the 4 must be the 4th wagon, and -C some section or seat.
[22:51] <@BradGM> Mira you see some small visual distortion on the boxcars, like Cameleonite.
[22:52] <Mira> "Keep on your toes, this train is more guarded than it appears."
[22:52] <Grendel> "How so?"
[22:53] <Mira> "I'm not going to point, but I'm not the only one with a cameleonite cloak today."
[22:54] * Grendel frowns and studies the train closer.
[22:56] * Lazerus starts towards the door to their car, Demon at his heels.
[22:56] <Mira> "We should find our seats and worry about them later."
[22:57] <Grendel> "There do not appear to be any electronic seat assignment locators."
[22:58] <@BradGM> The C is in fact a small enclosed section of the wagon, with modern seat, but local stuffing and leather work. Ther eis 2 benech seat and a wide window.
[22:59] * Mira takes a seat on one of the benches.
[23:00] <@BradGM> Despite being a high wagon, the cabin is only 3 meters high.
[23:01] * Grendel examines the train and takes whichever seat looks like it will accomodate his bulk.
[23:03] <@BradGM> It takes another 30 minutes of set-up and rituals before you finaly leave Arnhut
[23:05] <Grendel> "Should we visit this Rolin first, or examine the town?"
[23:07] <Mira> "We should probably see him first so we don't spend undue time wandering aimlessly."
[23:08] * Grendel peers out the window, examining the rate of speed that the train is producing. "A wise choice."
[23:09] <@BradGM> About 10 minutes later, there is a knock at your door
[23:10] * Mira opens her eyes, having been relaxing, looking at the other two but not saying anything.
[23:11] * Grendel fishes his ticket out of where he pocket it, while letting the ballistic mechadendrite point at the door from underneath the cloak. "Yes?"
[23:11] * Mira slides two of her knives out and conceals them in her hands and against her forearms.
[23:11] <@BradGM> Grendel, the train is going a good speed for a simplisti machine spirit; you'd figure about 45 km/h or so
[23:11] <@BradGM> There is a small, masked, tracked servitor. "Tickets please."
[23:13] * Grendel greets the servitor in binary and hands across his ticket.
[23:13] * Mira grabs her ticket with her fingertips and extends it to the servitor.
[23:15] <@BradGM> He punches your tickets with a marking stamp. "That is all. Refreshments will be served in 19.3 minutes. Arrival in 3 hours, 46 minutes." He twist on himself and go down the hall
[23:15] <@BradGM> ((and ok if we stop it here?))
[23:16] <Mira> (( sure ))
[23:16] <Grendel> ((Seems like a good spot, before we have to stop the train robbery :) ))
[23:16] <Mira> (( :P ))
[23:16] <@BradGM> ((please, how cliché))
[23:16] * Grendel frowns at the lack of seconds for the arrival time.
[23:16] <@BradGM> +++++++Terminate Transmission+++++++
