While you ponder let me explain why you are here. We have discovered a journal from around the time of the fall has made its way into night town. It's owner reached out to sell it to the highest bidder but has since gone dark. All my contacts in that part of the city has also gone dark and the agents I've sent in I fear are dead. It's time to send in an unknown a wild card if you will.... Yall.
Fi d a way into night town locate the journal and deliver it back here to the bar keeper. [Jairo you know night town is sealed due to a plage that hit a day after you got out, 2 weeks ago
"Night town, huh, and I suppose you've conveniently forgotten the fact it's closed due to a plague..."She glances at her companions to gauge their reaction to news of the plague.
"Well assuming we do go ahead with this endeavour, will the guards let us through or will we need to find our entrance and exit?"
Jairo tilts her head considering then smiles "Prisca is right though, I've passed through that way before, which makes us the perfect team to accomplish what you're asking. So I guess the final question is, what are you offering to convince us to go into a quarantined area and accomplish what you're agents could not?"
Yes, it's a simple job on paper. Get in, find the journal, then bring it here. As for getting in and out, that's on you, and the plage well yes good luck with that. This is off the record you will receive no official help. But I'm sure 3 skillful adventurers can find a way, a job going into to that part of town, call in a favor or maybe use some of the more.... um let's say less legal methods in.
As for your "convincing". This is off the record so payment won't be through the admin house, let's just say the organization always pays its debts, sometimes in gold other in how should I say "favors."
But alas we are out of time. If you choose to take this task I'll know. Don't disappoint. BTW there are 12 chaps on their way that want to kill yall.... who did you anger? Well you got 30 seconds before they arrive might I suggest the back door. Ta ta.
At the mention of 12 chaps on their way, Jairo's eyes widen in surprise. "We'll see what we can do, and thanks for the warning. Come on Lia, I don't fancy our odds with that lot." She joins Prisca heading to the backdoor. "Follow me and stick close, we go fast to gain some distance, then blend in with the crowd."
Jairo will then lead the party quickly through multiple streets turning in a seemingly random pattern for about 5 minutes. She'll then motion for them to slow down and join the usual evening crowd trying to blend in. "Let me know if you see anyone watching us or run off when they spot us, could be informants."
Remembering what Prisca said about needing gloves and face coverings, she heads towards an apothecary. Watching the others' reaction she quietly asks "Any ideas why 12 people would be coming for us? Or even how they knew where we were?"
"Huh, good point... well if so we can easily catch him - we can ask the guard on the main door if 12 individuals came in looking for someone. Especially if we grease his memory with a coin." she nods to herself as they walk. "Which reminds me, did someone leave coin for the pitcher? I was busy watching the door and wasn't expecting such an abrupt exit."
Prisca calls out "We've been found. I say we face them. Perhaps they may have clues as to why they are looking for us." He looks at the people around him "Lets lead them to a more empty place. I am not fond of civilians getting hurt."
So how this is going to work. Idea is classic movie chase scene. You can run and do an action. Actions can be anything you like that makes since, i.e. pull down some boxes, cast a spell ect. You can choose to stand your ground but, you know fighting in the streets will get you arrested no questions asked.
Roll Initiative the party will act on the slowest unless you split up. Any questions?
Liawenys looks towards the 4 and presses her hand to her forehead with her fingers spread out, movers her hand to her chin bringing her fingers together while pointing her wand at the four in robes with her other hand while calling out Dormir Nina casting sleep on their would be assailants. Then turns and follows her friends.
Sleep 24 affected
(ooc: locus of spell picked to affect as many of the four as possible)
As you go to cast your spell you hear a voice on the wind laughing, hahaha I think not. One of the robed men wave their hand. All 4 pursuers continue the chase.
Order: party, Group 1, Group 2, Group 3, Unknown
The party takes off down a side street, Prisca casts Shillelagh and Lia's spell fails. Group 1 dashes closing the Gap to 30'. Group 2 and 3 don't find the party this round.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Initiative: 9
Jairo reaches into her bag and pulls out a bag of ball bearings and starts scattering them in the direction of the pursuers. "Come on, follow me, I've got an idea how to lose these guys."
She then turns and starts running towards the nearest alley heading towards Night Town.
(OOC: ball bearings cover 10ft area, DC save 10 or fall prone, or move at half speed)

I see we go over there, scoop that up, and mosey on back here? I do believe we can work something out, yes
Prisca nods in agreement trying to appear nonchalant "Jairo would make a good guide"

Prisca is taken aback by the news of plague "We are going to need gloves, face coverings, and judicious amount of the hardest liquor"

Prisca quickly stands and grabs his quarterstaff. "We gotta leave" he rushes for the back door.

Perhaps he told us that just to scare us on our way?
Perception 6 looking to see if they are being followed

With a nat 1 you are It was just a Roose to end the conversation quickly.
As the party is walking and discussing what happened from behind you you hear someone shout Hey there they are.
The party turns to see 4 individuals wearing similar robe like outfits srart to run towards the party.
Prisca calls out "We've been found. I say we face them. Perhaps they may have clues as to why they are looking for us." He looks at the people around him "Lets lead them to a more empty place. I am not fond of civilians getting hurt."
Prisca casts shillelagh

Sorry Jairo realized you had not made am action, please make 2 in this round.
DM: also if the party wishes to dash 2 of the 3 must do so the third can still do an action.

Lia does the same...whilst trying to figure out what had happened to her Sleep spell...
