Tori grabs the man’s hand and begins running, taking back alleys and staying to the shadows as much as possible, hoping that X41 can keep up without breaking everything and everyone in his path.
“Come on boys, let’s get over there!”
She stops short of the Alchemist Guild in an area that may be less obvious to any lookouts, and turns to X –
“Would you mind guarding this fellow to make sure he doesn’t run off? Hopefully you can find something fun to do while I’m away, but I’m going to see if I can find another vantage point to surveil this area and find the best way in.” she looks around to figure her next move.
“Maybe smack him around a little bit and get the name of this Alchemist out of him? I’m done playing around… If you can get the info, I can easily sneak in and look around I’m sure. I’d like to… extract more information from this Alchemist. I’m not sure how well you could sneak in though. I guess we’ll have to make a plan once I get more info”she shrugs.
Looking up the wall of the nearest building, she leaps, tail whipping around wildly as she careens through the air towards the stone. As her fingers and toes contact the vertical surface, she sticks like a gecko, immediately running upward to spring onto the highest possible vantage point and gaze out towards the Guild.
Spider Climb, 1 hour duration.
Squinting to see any guards, windows, balconies or anything else useful. She gazes out, hoping to catch a helpful glimpse.
Perception –10
Feeling extra inquisitive, she runs her fingers down her own arm, mossy tendrils rolling along behind her fingers and leaving a golden sheen, heightening her senses.
X followed behind Torment trying to keep up with her as she made her way threw the streets his sheets of metal made loud clanking sounds before he stopped as they arrived at the alchemist shop stopping with a quick motion shooting up a bit of dust from the ground
As Torment talked to him the warforged simply nodded his head taking in the information before grabbed one of the persons hands with his metallic grip “I understand” the warforged eye’s turn red for a second as the tiefling went up the wall “mission update, temporary primary objective, watch this person, secondary objective, learn of the alchemist” his eyes then went back to normal as he looked at the charmed humanoid “will you inform me of the name of this alchemist”

Tam immediately looks through the arrow hole in the tent, and spots a small cloaked and masked figure with a heavy crossbow, 60 feet away, perched on the roof of a small warehouse 20 feet up in the air.
Also, the Anouncer and Florence's assistant are coming back to the tent...
Both Tam and Elwyn may take their turn. The masked shooter got an 18 on his initiative.
Meanwhile, Tori and X make it to the Alchemist's shop, after trekking across the Forges and Guild District. It is a weathered two-story house with a front door, a back door, a chimney and a basement cellar trap door outside.
"Hhhis..His name is Halwyn...Halwyn Mar...he's a renowned Transmutation potion maker..."
The warforged simply nods his head at the compliance of the person "thank you for complying with my question" he said still holding his wrist in his metallic grasp "do you know anything else that could aid us in this location"

X tilted his warforged head a bit to the side as he looked at the frightened person infront of him before running one of his metallic fingers along his head as if scratching it "I do not possess the desire to cause your death, unless you provoke me you will be ok" he said in his plain robotic voice, a hint of reasurance was in his tone but it could easily be mistaken for a threat
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
While quickly taking up her bow and aiming, Tam speaks the following incantation just before shooting, "Maui cin wear a rí -o thorns." A light breeze swirls around her hair, and if anyone is close, the scent of freshly dug earth fills the air.
Item Interaction: Grabs Longbow
Bonus Action: Casts Hail of Thorns, dealing an extra 6 on a successful hit
This spell creates a rain of thorns that sprouts from your ranged weapon or ammunition. In addition to the normal effect of the attack, the target of the attack and each creature within 5 feet of it must make a Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes 1d10 piercing damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
Action: Longbow/Arrow Attack = 12 Damage: 15
Once the arrow is loose, Tam mutters, "Take that, you son of *****!"
Tam's arrow flies across the street straight against the shooter's cheek, causing a small splatter of blood from his face. The arrow also takes off his mask, and rips off his hood, revealing his scrawny Halfling face...he is bleeding heavily from the left cheek, with a half "Gypsie smile".

(OOC Please see the second spoiler for my diatribe about the rolls and reasonable proof that I didn't do anything to them.)
Torment takes in the details of the building with quick comprehension while perched at her vantage point. Hearing the Warforged interviewing their guest, she smiles.
"...He's got Arcane Locks on his doors...oh please do not kill me, Machine-man thing..." (a wet stain expands all over his pants)
Calling down to X41 in a loud whisper -"That settles it then. I'm going through the chimney! I'll find the front door and see if I can find a way to let you in without springing any magical traps!"
As X touches the man, he attempts to run away. Catching him will require an Athletics check DC 18 from X and/or Tori
Tori sees the man from the corner of her eye and runs down the wall at full speed to tackle the bar patron.
Spider Climbed Down
Athletics to Tackle - how frickin' strong a drunk be? Wow - 9
LOL yeah I totally manipulated this one...
Missing the man completely, she takes it in stride, falling to all fours and runs into a shadow, emerging from the other side as a spider the size of a human hand, sleek red with black thorns emerging from her cephalothorax like the horns of a demon. She skitters from hiding place to hiding place across the street, and is up the side of the Alchemist's house in a flash, peering into the chimney. With only a moment's hesitation, eight legged Tori heads carefully down into the carbon coated column.
Hopefully X catches that little ******* she thinks.I would have killed him if I had.
Stealth - 21
Perception - 8
OOC - I feel the need to defend my original rolls here, because this is bullshit and I had NAT 20. Every time I edit a post on my Android to add a roll (in this case, the athletics check was something I decided to try instead of running off right away) it rerolls ALL of my rolls in the post. Luckily for me, I leave the page open on my desktop as well, and hadn't refreshed it! Here are my original rolls from last night:
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Elwin jumped up as Florence collapsed, looking around and trying to take stock of the situation. An assassin?! His looked toward the entrance to the tent, then hesitated. Good chance they'd be expecting them to run right out. But... there was no time to hesitate.
Tam was lightning-fast with her response; she'd already launched an arrow back by the time Elwin was donning his shield. He raised it up over his head as he charged out the entrance, hoping to deflect any attacks that came his way, before looking back in the direction Tam had fired, attempting to spot her target.
With the donning of his shield, Elwin's AC is now 15.
Perception Roll to spot the assassin: 4
If Elwin spots the assassin, and he's within 90 feet, he'll touch the crystal hanging around his neck (under his armor) and use his bonus action to cast Hex, targeting the assailant's Dexterity skill checks.
Elwin spots the assassin, as Tam's arrow hits him, exploding with thorny vines. He tries to run away and jump off the roof, holding his face and bleeding profusely, but Elwin may use his bonus action before he does so...
Meanwhile, Horned Spider-Tori makes her way through the Alchemist's chimney...there is a small fire lit down below, and a bit of smoke emanating from it...green smoke coming from a small cauldron hanging over the chimney fire. In the cauldron, a bright green glowing liquid bubbles quietly....
Roll an Arcana check DC 10, and a Survival Check DC 13...
Did X ever roll Athletics to try and catch the escaping tavern drunk?
