Game_Master says, "Amber sets off." Amber goes into stealth mode. Game_Master whispers, "you make your way along the streets of the city" [early_musketeers] Amber says, ""Like a shadow, I am." Game_Master whispers, "it's dark, of course, and moonlit" Jean-Sebastien sets in on the bread, cheese, and grapes. And wine. Mm-mmm. [early_musketeers] Giraud exclaims (at Amber), "Yay!" Giraud joins Jean. Jean-Sebastien makes sure to save out a fair portion for Amber, of course. Game_Master whispers, "there are not that many people around, but it's festival and there are always drunks and a few last performers, and then other travellers like yourself, sticking to the shadows" Amber moves along like she has every right to be where she is. [early_musketeers] Giraud says, "Idling for a moment." Game_Master whispers, "perhaps you could make a stealth + finesse roll, just, you know, to be on the safe side." [7thsea] Amber rolls 7k3: 10+6 6 2 5 5 2 10+6 | 38 Game_Master whispers, "that seems pretty safe to me" You whisper "yay!" to Game_Master. [early_musketeers] Jean-Sebastien says, "So OOC chattering, I wonder if Bron is fully trustable." Game_Master whispers, "hunh -- who's that crossing your path?" [early_musketeers] Jean-Sebastien asks, "Is he just stupid, or is he also Not A Nice Guy?" Game_Master whispers, "(he doesn't notice you because of the shadows, but the moon catches his face for an instant, and he looks familiar--)" Game_Master whispers, "it's, ah, that guy from the Grey Cat. the ventriloquist guy. Claude." You whisper "I head toward the gypsy first." to Game_Master. You privately posed to Game_Master: Amber slides into a doorway, and takes a better look. You whisper "what do I remember about claude?" to Game_Master. Game_Master whispers, "well, he's small and mousy-haired and somewhat nervous. he was the one that francis asked to move out of his chair before the whole conversation and then near-brawl" You whisper "francis being the rude musketeer, right?" to Game_Master. Game_Master whispers, "right" You privately posed to Game_Master: Amber shadows claude for a block or two. Game_Master whispers, "he's heading towards a building -- kinda tall, hard to see what it is in the darkness. he steps inside and the door slams shut behind him." You privately posed to Game_Master: Amber examines building. Game_Master whispers, "dark, since it's night, of course. but -- that window up there? whose face is that? Celeste?" Game_Master whispers, "(the face vanishes)" You privately posed to Game_Master: Amber circles the building, still in stealth mode, and examines it from every angle. Game_Master whispers, "there's a small booth (for somebody to sit inside, like a gate-guard) by the main doors. it's empty, right now, but there's something pale and white inside." You privately posed to Game_Master: Amber examines ple white thing. Game_Master whispers, "it's hard to pick out at night, but you find a place with better moonlight, and read -- it appears to be a playbill." [early_musketeers] Giraud says, "Wow. Amber completely disappeared." Game_Master whispers, """THE TRAGEDY OF RENALDO AND JULIANA -- BIGGEST AND BEST AND FINAL SHOW TOMORROW NIGHT"" [early_musketeers] Game_Master says, "(I'm still talking to her)" You privately posed to Game_Master: Amber leaves for the gypsy, determined to come back here as soon as she delivers the messages. Game_Master whispers, "you meet up with Robyn, who hems and haws a bit, but agrees to send a message. "Where shall I meet you?" she asks." You whisper "..Robyn At the musketeer headqarters." to Game_Master. Game_Master whispers, "Robyn raises an eyebrow. "Are you sure? I will leave the reply for you there, then. What do you want the message to say?"" You privately posed to Game_Master: Amber makes clear to Robyn that she wants someone from the town to come testify on her behalf t Borm. Game_Master whispers, "Robyn nods. "For Kestrel, I will of course do my best."" Game_Master whispers, "(anything else?)" You whisper "to /robyn better yet, meet tme at the jaila;sdf,.m" to Game_Master. Game_Master whispers, "ellric, is that you?" You whisper "there's a lag on this editor so idon't see mistktakes, then backspca too far to correct them, or don't see them till i heit return." to Game_Master. Game_Master whispers, "hee hee" Game_Master whispers, "just kidding" Game_Master whispers, "ok, she agrees to get a message to your jail cell" [early_musketeers] Jean-Sebastien says, "This'll have to get spliced into the log somehow." You whisper "back to the mysterious building." to Game_Master. [early_musketeers] Game_Master says, "er, yeah. I'll try and log it" You whisper "rollit?" to Game_Master. Game_Master whispers, "nah, past roll good enough" Game_Master whispers, "on closer inspection, it is of course the theater." You whisper "I want to roll a wits to see if I should knock on the dorr." to Game_Master. Jean-Sebastien finishes his share of the edibles and finds a place to rest his head. Probably on the cot he'd been standing on, since it'd be impolite to make someone else sleep on it. [7thsea] Amber rolls 3k3: 4 9 3 | 16 Game_Master whispers, "well, realistically, people aren't going to hear you on the upper story unless you knock loud" Game_Master whispers, "which has its own attendant risks when you're a fugitive from the law and so on" You whisper "true. so how bright/stupid would it be to make these peoplee hear me?" to Game_Master. Game_Master whispers, "I cannot, of course, give anything away, but it is interesting that Celeste is here at the theater with Claude, isn't it?" You whisper "I could always write a note on the playbill and throw it ghrough the windoe I saw celeste in." to Game_Master. You whisper "right. exactly." to Game_Master. You privately posed to Game_Master: Amber looks for an auxiliary back up messenger. just to cover her assetts. Game_Master whispers, "to send someone else to the village? ok, although it's growing early (and more light out) -- you'll need to make another stealth roll to find one and stay undetected" [7thsea] Amber rolls 7k3: 4 8 1 1 8 2 7 | 23 Game_Master whispers, "ok -- you find an early-riding messenger at another stables who'll go for you" Game_Master whispers, "should he leave a message at the jail cell also?" You whisper "I give him the same basic message and instructions, then race bakc to muy jail cel." to Game_Master. Game_Master says, "Amber arrives back at the cell just as the first light of true dawn is showing"
