Greg freezes like a rabbit caught in the mesmerizing glow of hooded lanternlight afront a cart, the dust settles around him and he does what he always does when caaught doing something he isn't supposed to, he thinks.
The gnome calculates several things very quickly, he accounts for the things that he knows of Endelyn, the things he heard the goblins shouting mere moments ago before his massive cockup, he then clears his throat loudly, "...AND that my fellow actors is what we are looking for! Exemplified before your very eyes! not simply the sweet despair that our good lady is looking for. But a MOUNTING series of MISFORTUNE, a CRESCENDO of CHAOS which builds and BUILDS! until our main character has no way of stopping the dominoes falling and must succumb to despair for there is no alternative! no hope left! gone are the days of flash in the pan hopelessness, WE MUST DO BETTER!"
G'reg however does not calculate that Rowan has made an appearance giving the whole game away.
He gives a little sigh, as if embarrassed by his own outburst. Anyway, if you need a partner, I could… y’know. Play dead. I’m good at that.
Can you do more than play dead? I could use a partner maybe but what is your range?
Mulligan asks this telepathically, of course.
I only just arrived with a couple others. Haven't even had a chance to show anyone our invitations yet. We really don't know the process or what to expect. Besides go for grief and tragedy, what can you tell us?
Mulligan suspects this poor set of bones doesn't know much that will help them but he figures it is worth a try. Perhaps they too started off as a stranger in the land who got a mysterious invitation... Stranger things have happened.
Whump—Thump-Whump-Thump!
Mulligan winces and freezes for a moment, slowly turning his head towards the way he came here from.
That must be Rowan...
Mulligan's telepathic communications don't really convey tone or inflection but it is still obvious to first the marionette and then to the Group Chat that Mulligan is feeling an intense disappointment at the moment. Disappointment caught short when he sees instead g'REgINalD.
Bravo! What an entrance! Bravo!
If Mulligan could speak it would be censored from all but the most salty of salty sailors.
We have to go!
Contrary to what Mulligan "said" to Skeletor and the G'rEGinAlD he doesn't immediately move but instead first grabs up the [Tooltip Not Found] and gives it's bellows a good pumping! (that sounds dirty!). A small cloud of thick smoke pours out in a 5-foot radius from the bellows. ((Each round thereafter, the radius increases by 5 feet until it reaches its maximum radius of 30 feet. If created in this way, the smoke cloud moves with the bellows, and is always centred on it.)). Mulligan figured a nice heavy obscurement of smoke cover might help keep them safe... And in general confuse the situation. He hadn't bothered to consider how a heavy obscurement of smoke would affect him in an area he was totally unaccustomed to and didn't know his way around. Colorful, salty language once more comes to mind but remains "unsaid."
OF COURSE G'ReginalD draws more attention even as Mulligan is trying to obscure it... But what's done is done.
Mulligan tries to grab Skeletor and shove him in his pack even as he tries to make his way towards the g'NoMe so they can perhaps flee together...
--- ((In addition to now trying to pick up the skeleton marionette (no idea if it is doll sized, life sized or what) Mulligan had previously tried to grab "The Champagne bottle and Flower Bouquet should fit easily enough into his backpack though, as well as the Pink Parasol. He quickly adds the Crystal Ball, Deck of Cards, Manacles and Smoking Pipe just because... Just because. Mulligan has passed over the skeleton marionette and is picking up and considering the Cracked Scream Goblin Mask when he hears the voice."
Did Mulligan succeed in grabbing and stowing any/all of the items? I don't suspect it matters much except for future RP but best to ask.))
Rowan watches Greg's entrance with a growing look of amazement and amusement.
He looks back at Glister and Amidor, "Well that appears to have settled it. I believe we have announced our presence."
Rowan steps through the opening, and gingerly steps around the chaotic mess that Greg has created.
He walks up to the goblins and waves a greeting.
"Hi, we came in through the wall there," Rowan says. "Is this the theatre?"
Greg freezes like a rabbit caught in the mesmerizing glow of hooded lanternlight afront a cart, the dust settles around him and he does what he always does when caaught doing something he isn't supposed to, he thinks.
