If not, we may be in something deeper than my worst of fears. If so, let so get the girl out and then either burn or disassemble the stairs behind us. That should at least slow or dissuade any pursuit. ooc can one of us make a check to recognize if this is or is not the entrance?

Istria took the fore and threw the door open, provided it budged at all. "Even if it isn't the right door, we can make a stand where we can negate their numbers a little."

Butchern Posted January 11 Clone Share Posted January 11 "Hang in there, girl. We are almost out." The girls was getting heavy, but Olive was strong and not ready to give up yet. Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackHat Posted January 11 Clone Share Posted January 11 Sutter also votes for taking their chances for whatever is above them. It may not be the way they came in but it is still moving in the right direction and, with enemies in pursuit, their options were limited.

SirLoganofGilead Posted January 14 Author Clone Share Posted January 14 You being the arduous climb up the stairs, each of you remembers the long descent, and the ascent seems like it will take even longer. The light starts to vanish and the walls start to change from the old rock to the newer construction that denotes the surface work. The moment the shadows cover you completely, Olive feels a sharp prick in her back. "Stop, all of you stop!" The girl's tiny voice is no longer wavering or crying, by the sound of her voice she seems to be quite confident.

Butchern Posted January 17 Clone Share Posted January 17 Olive stopped moving forward and narrowed her eyes. "If you are going to stab me in the back, girl, you better make it count.

BlackHat Posted January 17 Clone Share Posted January 17 (edited) "Wait. What's happened?" Sutter asks, maybe a little too far away from the girl to have completely noticed what was happening, but eager to get up the stairs. "... and can we sort it all out someplace more comfortable?"

SirLoganofGilead Posted January 20 Author Clone Share Posted January 20 The girl didn't move one way or another. Instead, she called out again. "Let me see one of those cards. Who are you people? The last people had my father's guild cards too...and they...they tricked me down there." For those who could see in the darkness, her hand not holding the knife reached out, waiting for one of the cards.

matt_s Posted January 21 Clone Share Posted January 21 Glanton passed her the card. In short, we were hired by a contact heretofore unknown to us. We were arranged a meeting and we were told you had been taken a hour prior to the meeting - a meeting that had been arranged two hours before that. All of us needed the money although not all of us may admit it. To put it bluntly we are the dregs of the city, willing to do bloody work for a fistful of coin. But this I tell you with all honesty we were paid to bring you back to the surface by our contact - he describes their liaison with the guild - and that is what we mean to do. Doing ill by an innocent child well it do not sit well with me. But now you know a measure of our secrets and you know none of hours. An asymmetry, one that should be righted. Tell us of what happened to you from the moment of your abduction onwards if you please. Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackHat Posted January 21 Clone Share Posted January 21 "Wait. Your father is a genie?" Sutter narrows his eyes, uncertain of what magical abilities this apparent 'girl' could perform.

SirLoganofGilead Posted March 4 Author Clone Share Posted March 4 The little girl looks at the cards, sighs heavily, and puts her blade away. "The man you saw me in a cage with, they said they my father sent them to me. They said he was in trouble, so I might be in trouble, and they had to get me to a place where no one could find me. They said people would be looking for me. They showed me his guild card...but they seemed...disorganized. Almost like they didn't know each other, or were new, I don't know. Can we finish the trip home now? I want to know my father is safe. Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt_s Posted March 6 Clone Share Posted March 6 Glanton winces a bit at the tale. Funny that story. Not in the laughing way. But it's more familiar, far more familiar than I would like. We ought to get back to the surface, yes. Pointed questions to be asked. Of everyone. So you were with your father when you were taken away with his knowledge bearing a selfsame card? Curious. What the blazes was going on, Glanton cursed to himself. First she gets sent away then we are told she was kidnapped and to bring her back. There was a game but what it was it was beyond him. That was for certain. Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
