Welcome to Gaia! ::

The Arian soldier gives out a sigh of relief. He moves to the back of the wagon and pulls open the flap. "Thank goodness you guys are alright. Didn't want to open the wagon until I was sure it was safe I don't trust that Tristan guy. I hope you got whatever information you wanted from him."

The soldier would pause momentary to flip up his visor and reveal that he was indeed Arthur. Petra would wiggle pass Kuori to move up and embrace him. "Sorry to approach all disguised. I just don't want Tristan to identify me. I'm sure he's watching. Here, I brought a gift." " Arthur sets down the satchel he was carrying on the wagon floor. "There's three of those sleep grenades in there. The rest I used to, uh, disable the garrison. We should move out as soon as we can. Once we reach the town exit I'll talk us through the gate. Plan B, we can always lob a of these grenades at them make our break."




Sleep Grenade

This device is about the size of a large apple, with indentations all around that are suitable for grasping.

Attack Power (Charm) Consumable (Standard Action)Attack: Area burst 2d3 - 1 within 10 (creatures in the burst); +7 vs. Will.

Malfunction: If you roll a 1 on an attack roll with this grenade, you fall unconscious (save ends).

Hit: The target is slowed (save ends).

First Failed Saving Throw: The target is instead unconscious (save ends).

Revenge would shoot a disapproving glare to Kuori at her suggestion. "They undoubtedly have taken note of our wagon and would recognize it now. I don't think a disguise would help," Revenge would say to the group. "I think it would be more suspicious for an Arian soldier to escort a wagon that looks like ours driven by a stranger, than it would be to be driven by one of us. They'll assume the order came from somewhere up above and they just didn't get word in time."

"Do you really think they would take you, me, or Tywla alive Revenge? The others are [arrogant voice] property of the Arian alchemy division [/arrogant voice] the rest of us are a thorn in their side. And adventurers aren't exactly their modus oper-whatever when it comes to victims for the pool. Thus far we know of 3 merchants and a two kids ... and one of the merchants was a kid. So instead we have 2 Arian soldiers taking the captive prisoners and the bodies of their allies to muster with the returning soldiers. Time is money, and wasting the time to travel back isn't worth it. If she can make herself look like a soldier, I am pretty sure there is rope in here, and Valac is perfecting the art of unconsciousness. You and I pretend to be dead, maybe stop at the butcher and soak a sheet in blood to increase the effect." She just stared at him blankly and said, "Or you know, your idea of sending one guard to escort the people that killed ... how many of their soldiers? Including a few higher ranking ones. Along with the girl that turns people to stone, the mind controlling illusionist, and the guy that goes nuts and turns into a stronger, feral, version of himself. All of whom are just surrendering of their own free will. Because you know how much sense that makes."

Revenge would hold one hand out near Twyla. "No lobbing prematurely. Let's wait for trouble first," he would say, attempting to lighten the mood.

The paladin would try to follow Kuori's plan, and then listen to Arthur's input... though he would sigh in frustration, reaching up to pinch the bridge of his nose when told that Arians were disguising themselves.

"I'm... good for any plan that hurts the least amount of people," he would respond, not offering any further than that. "Ideally, none."

"I actually side with the Paladin on this one. We gotta make this a stealthy exit, if we have to fight we will, but we shouldn't go in looking for one."

Petra would finally speak up. "Let us just get going before they figure out what's going on. I just want to get out of here, Arthur. Once we are free of this we can plan our future."

"R-right." Arthur would respond a little timidly. It seemed he had not had time to give much thought to the next step now that he had finally found Petra, and her sudden bringing up of the subject flustered him. "W-well, Petra, we'll have you hide in one of these crates back here. There, that one looks big enough. The rest of you just lie low, stack yourselves up in the back and play dead if the guards try to take a look and I'll explain it from there. Oh, someone will have to tie up Abby, who will pretend to be unconscious or at least make her looked convincingly tied up. That's not really my forte so someone else will have to do it."

Arthur would help empty out the one of Abby's store crates in the wagon and put Petra inside it. It was a tight squeeze but Petra fit and with the lid shut no trace of her could be seen. Arthur then moves to the front of the wagon and takes the reins. Once everyone was done getting ready, he would give a gentle slap to the reins and the wagon would start moving down the road to the main gate.





((One person roll a thievery check to see how convincingly you can make Abby look tied up. Everyone also needs to roll a bluff check to see how convincingly you can play dead. Good luck on your rolls.))

"Ohhh! Wow, Mr. Revenge, some nice roping there! Don't worry; I'm sure this'll work out fine!"

She then lay down, limbs awkwardly jumbled, trying to look dead. If only she could remember what it was like to be unconscious.

((Bluff: 23))
