Heroica: Glory Amongst the Stars - Mission #9: He's Dead, Jim
Duvors replied to Duvors's topic in Heroica! The RPG!
The Adamite manning the stand waves at you as you peruse the news. From what you can see, there are two variations of HEROICA SAVES MISSING FREIGHTER, one ADMIRAL TORRMENT DESTROYS PIRATE FLEET and a CORVANIS MAN CLAIMS DROP OF RAIN FELL ON HIM. That last one was obviously put into print before the other two stories broke. "Kinda, I'm here to keep this cleaning bot working." he indicates the the yellow bot at his feet, which is already busy scrubbing up the filth you're tracking everywhere. "Decker huh? You two must be the guys the boss hired. Name's Vintej Ahntiq." He holds out his hand. "Arno told me to keep an eye out for you." -

In that case I'd like to raise my insight to two. Also, that Spider Bomb should be in Billeck's inventory. Enson looked around the room with an expression of mild disgust. He'd never been a stickler for proper burials - a corpse was just matter after all - but this detached, possessive attitude towards death rankled with him. Gliding across the floor, he leaned over the body of the Quo'ri, trying to see who they were. "I don't think any of these are Jippo, Jonk." he said, "If they were, I'd expect them to be less desiccated."- 650 replies

MM note: Just so you know, if you don't find out what happened to Greg, you'll fail the mission. I'd suggest trying to find a way back to those secret doors. Having made your decision, you return to the ladder and make your way to the surface. The sounds of people overwhelm you as you emerge into a an open promenade. Even at this time of 'day' people are still using this space, hurrying from one place to another. The sounds of a busker's trumpet fill the air. The whole atmosphere is incongruous. Thankfully, as you emerge there's someone there to help you out. Standing right by the manhole in fact. "Hooo, Hey there! You fellas look like you've been in the wars." -

"Why do people have to make things so abstruse?" As Enson ponders the puzzle, he will examine the bottle of blue liquid.- 650 replies

Peaking around the corner, you see a long, nondescript tunnel with a couple passages leading off to your left. Judging by what you've learned about this place, and where you think you are, there's only one place this can be: Map Congratulations! You have explored the entire network. -

Desparate to escape the oncoming blob, the two of you dive into the sludge. Crawling on hands and knees, you force yourselves to ignore the smell and discomfort, pressing on into the low tunnel. The space is so narrow you can only move in single file, wriggling on into the gunk and trying not to gag at the overwhelming smell. At first you think you might be safe just a little way in, but then you remember something you saw on the blob - tendrils, wriggling like spastic worms wrapped in intestine. How long can those things stretch? You don't know, so you press on. You can barely see anything, now having enough space to use your flashlights. All you can tell is that you've rounded a corner, and that there are sunken grates in the floor, slowly sucking sludge down to hell-knows-where. Finally, you reach what seems to be the end - and, to your right, light! Turning with agonizing slowness, you wriggle like slugs through a mound of muck. Finally, you're out. You've left the tiny passageway and entered into one of the proper tunnels. Desperately, you gasp for air, staggering to your feet and trying to get a bearing on your surroundings. I seems you've reached a dead end, with a corner turning off into the rest of this maze and a manhole directly above where you emerged. What will you do? Map S's are the secret doors. -

"Hush, young man." As Enson spoke, he made his way to the end of the alley. Stopping before a barrel of pickaxes, he examined the parallel vertical grooves in the wall.- 650 replies

Decker Strength Check (DC 3): (3,2,6,6) Two successes. Decker Perception Check (DC 3 1 {Know what you're looking for} Heavily Lightly Obscured {Flashlight}): (6,2,6,2,-2) Zero successes. Despite your best attempts, the wall does not give. As you press close to it however, you can just barely see a thin line running down the middle, like the center of a pair of double doors. Frantically, you try to feel about for some sort of opening mechanism, but in the darkness and your own haste you fail to find anything. The grinding, sliding noises grow ever closer. You feel as if you don't have much time to get this door open before the thing arrives. -

Seizing the initiative, you grab your frantic companion by the hand and drag them down the unexplored passage, hoping to find safety that way. With the horrific scraping sounds of the monster behind you, you round the corner to find... ...a tunnel stretching off into the dark. At first there's a brief glimmer of hope, but then you spot the light reflecting off the end of the passage, and you realize this is a dead end. Thankfully, salvation is at hand! Another tunnel branches off this one, and if you can head down there... ... ahhh phooey. Both Heroes Perception Check (DC 2): Decker (6,6,1,6) Three successes, Ronin (6,1,1,1) One success. Or maybe not, as you both examine the scene, you, Decker, can see that the obligatory outflow grate is broken! If you're both willing to wade through raw sewage, you might be able to squeeze down there to safety. Both Heroes Perception Check (DC 3): Decker (6,6,5,1) Three successes, Ronin (4,5,4,2) Three successes. However, even as Decker comes to this realization, the both of you spot something odd indeed. For some reason, part of the archway of this tunnel is shorter than the rest in one specific spot... and is the wall under it colored differently from the rest? Both Heroes Insight Check (DC 2): Decker (6,3,6) Two successes, Ronin (6,5,5) Three successes. Y'know, it's not exactly the same, but it does kinda remind you of the wall by that spot where you found impaled-hand-man. (Reid, his name was Reid.) Could these walls both have... secret doors? What will you do? Map -

Enson shook his head. "I disagree, from what we have heard this Archivist is an independent actor rather than an associate of an existing group. Frankly however we do not have enough information to make definitive statements either way." "We're not trying to rescue the flowers, Aysu. Unless you have another reason for asking?"- 650 replies

"Archivist, odd name for a sadistic barbarian." As he spoke, Enson knelt down by the changeling's side, gently touching various pressure points in order to ensure their death was painless (Medicine). "Before you go, is there anything else you can tell us? If you do,I will see to it this Archivist pays for what they have done, and that Tandy gets your message." Enson will attempt a persuasion check.- 650 replies

"Good thing I am as proficient with the hand of destruction as the hand of creation." Enson will cast Acute Purge on Dagger. "Now, I suggest you tell me everything you know about where Jippo is being held, who is guarding him, what the security measures are, and any other relevant information." Instead of trying to get information normally, Enson will attempt to read Dagger's surface thoughts with insight. OoC: I'm pretty sure this is treading on the Empath's toes, but I'm not proficient in any of the 'talking to people' proficiencies.- 650 replies

"Yes, where in the hideout? The basement? The attic? Where is this hideout located? Who do you work for anyway? Our fool of an employer has yet to see fit to tell us who exactly we're rescuing his friend from." Enson, having lost his patience with how long this changeling is taking to die, will meditate and cast sustaining healing on Dagger and himself.- 650 replies

Third, actually. Anyways, you press forward to the junction to take a look at what lies beyond: Looking first to the left, you see nothing other than a corner curving away from you. And broken lights. There are lots of broken lights around here for some reason. Suddenly, your toxicity detector switches to red, even though you're standing still. And... there's a shuffling noise... coming from the other passage! Whirling around, you see- ...that. It's... ah, it's moving toward you. Map The eye is the Wall of Flesh. -

Having decided that discretion is the better part of valor, the two of you make your way back down the sewers and prepare to travel on. The only question is; where do you go? Map L is the lever. -

"Yes," Enson said, "I would like to know what you've done with them. And who sent you and how they knew to send you. Bertram," he shot a place at their employer. "I really think revenge killing is a bit immature at this stage. I suggest you call the police to take this ruffian away, and then explain what exactly you want us to do about saving your friend - and family now." Enson will assist Jonk with... err... insight? @Scubacarrot As he spoke, Enson began collecting the spoils of the fight, giving Jonk and Billeck one each of the Rime Dirks, Cloaking Generators, and Throwing Darts. As he did so, he also held out his Spider Bomb to Billeck. "I got this with you in mind." he said, "you're the only person here qualified to use it anyway." OoC: @Wolfpackfan99, that Energy Cell you have is a consumable, you can't actually equip it in an equipment slot. Consumables are used directly from your inventory, so you can just leave it down there and equip the Cloaking Generator instead.- 650 replies
