"I wonder what Dr. Bailey wanted.  Eirikur will let us know if it's important."

Almost as if driven by some otherworldly influence, Eirikur nods to the doctor and says, "I should update the others. They needed to protect whatever your project is. Do you have anything else to disclose before I go and update them?"

Dr. Bailey clenches his hand and says "I think I will turn in for the night and head to the Sleeping car. Please have someone with me at all times." His demeanor has changed from the snappy indifference on the train platform to someone truly concerned for his life. He slowly stands grabbing hold of is leather bag and has a darting gaze as he walks to the Sleeping Car.  

Eirikur nods to Gaelan to follow. "I'll be right there after updating the others."

Eirikur heads to the rear and hands the five I.C.E. devices to the others. Then pulls them out of earshot of Anselam before updating them on the worries of Dr. Bailey. 

"Watch the father carefully. I don't know if he is also involved, and I'd rather see him dead than escaped."

After that, he gives Anselam a contemptuous look before returning to the sleeping car to help Gaelan watch the doc for the night. 

Do you guard from inside the sleeping cab or just outside Dr. Bailey's door. 

Eirikur will want one inside and one outside. On the window inside Dr. Bailey's room, he ties a little bell to the window, set up so that it falls and rings if the window is somehow opened and one of them has nodded off.

OOC: Getting mileage out of these prep items I bought!

However, at the point where we do have to sleep to avoid exhaustion, Eirikur will join Gaelan inside and sleep against the door, powdering the area in front of outside portion of the door with flour. 

Gaelan will watch over his boss and the Doctor. After 6 hours he will switch out with Eirikur.

He contemplates rubbing his skin lotion on his caltrops the next time miscreants bother the good Doc.

Hylizatha listens to what they are told by Eirikur, the grimace is her face turning into a scowl as she turns her attention back to the priest. Despite the fact she was not even sure if he was involved this time around, a growing part of her regretted the fact she has not put a bullet into him when she had the chance. "I had a feeling that this job seemed to good to be true. Really hoped it was just going to be some paranoid doctor that didn't actually need guards." 

With a small sigh she goes back to standing near the crates, her eyes locked onto the priest.

"I hear you.  I also thought this job was going to be a smooth ride." Modoc agrees with Hylizatha and settles back into a watchful silence.

The party can sleep in a sleeping cab at the end of the Sleeping Car that is rather cramped with pull down bunks for everyone to sleep. Dr. Bailey is just 3 doors down from the party's sleeping accommodations. 

Dr. Bailey's sleeping cab has built in cabinets for storing items and a bolted down table with 2 chairs.

Mr. Bailey takes out his pajamas but thinks better of it and decides to sleep without changing. He keeps his back next to his bed. 

Modoc and Hylizatha roll perception DC 17

On Pass in the freight car, you can see Father Anselam feigning stretching is prying a crooked nail from a nearby crate. 

In Dr. Bailey's sleeping cab at 1:30 Am, you can hear the sounds of a footsteps walking down the hall of the sleeping cab. They pause for a moment in front of Dr. Baileys door. The footstep is light and then there is a faint metallic sound as if a locket or pocket watch is opening or maybe closing. 

A moment later you hear 3 heavy knocks at the Door. 

What do you do?

Modoc rolls a 12 perception.  He dozes slightly.

Eirikur, leaning against the door while he sleeps, is roused by the noise and the vibrations that pass from door to his body. He sits upright and bears his longsword before the drowsiness of sleep fades, clearing his senses. He looks to the door, then to Gaelan and Dr. Bailey, who have also been woken by the loud knocking. 

"What the ####? Did you ask for someone to meet with you, doctor?" He hisses, frustrated that the doctor may once again have been found to be withholding information. He crawls to his feet and holds the sword at the ready behind the door as he opens it a crack. "What?" He asks bluntly and with a decidedly intentional bit of venom to make clear that this disturbance is unwelcome. Silver hair falls before his darkened face to make him look rather ghoulish, underscoring the frustrated visage.

Doctor Bailey shakes his head "There is no damn way I would set up a meeting in the middle of the night" 

"I need everyone up and out of the sleeping cabs now! Everyone is to gather in the Dining Car. I will explain once everyone is together." says a man you have heard from before. It sounds like it is the Conductor. His tone speaks of a man who has spent time in the military. 

Eirikur looks the man over, trying to determine what emotions the conductor might be feeling, but not expressing. 

OOC: Insight 19

Gaelan looks the man over. If it is the conductor, we would have seen him before yes? "This is almost inconvenient as finding a snake in your bunk."

He tries to determine of there is something wrong with the man or if he is under duress.

Perception Check18

Erikur analyzes the man before him based on his body language though subtle he picks up a sense of unease though he is sincere. 

Gaelen cannot tell if the Conductor is under duress or not. 

"Come along, doctor. The people who run this train mean business." Eirikur waits for the good doctor to collect himself before the three will do as commanded by the conductor. Once they are there, Eirikur will quickly go and pick up the others.

Poking his head in through the door of the freight car, he tells Hylizatha and Modoc, "We are being rounded up to the dining car. Bring the priest."

"Sure boss."  Modoc gets up and gets the priest on his feet as well, before heading to the dining car with the priest in tow.
