"I think you're right," Kit murmurs back to Valen with a frown. "Hopefully the other two don't run into any trouble they can't handle."

Brock (and Kyve) The journey gets underway without event, you spend about the same amount of time you did on the way here getting back into the Cracks, the ornate carriage always ahead of you, in sight but at a distance, as Kyve instructs Marike to stay as out of sight as possible.

Brock, as you near the district do you want to suggest a plan of action?

Wallis, Kit and Valen - Mrancsi sets off at an unhurried pace, as the congregation are leaving at the same time there is a small crowd moving off in different directions, as time passes the people gradually head off in further different directions until only a small number are continuing along in the same way.  You are in the heart of the Valias, there are a number of streets nearby where important families reside, a street where extremely high end clothes are sold and a couple of very respectable taverns and inns are situated.  Mrancsi is about 20 yards ahead.

Wallis, Kit and Valen - what do you wish to do?

Once in the cart and they had enetered the cracks, Brock would have been quickly changing out of his clothes, working to put on his normal attire. Once that was done he would look to Kyve. "Hey! I am going to see if I can get up close to the carrage to make sure that guy is still OK" he would say before opening the door and jumping out of the moving carrage before running ahead  towards the other cart. Trying to move quickly through the crowd and get a look into the carrage from the street.

Perception! 24

Brock's quick thinking and keen eyes make the task of getting a glimpse of what is happening in the carriage fairly easy.  Even from a distance the pit fighter can see the man is smiling as he is helped down from the carriage by the aide to Mrancsi.  They have stopped outside the entranceway to a building that could charitably be called a tenement, the aide bows to the man and waits until he has entered the building and stays outside for a minute (Brock - Insight check please) before getting into the carriage and being rapidly whisked away.

(Do we appear to be heading toward any particular location?)

Brock would squint hard looking to see if this was a trick... insight! 5

OOC Sauté - not obvious, apart from the places I've mentioned it becomes largely residential.

Brock notices nothing unusual in his behaviour 

Wallis waits for Valen and Kit to make their move. The half-elf is completely out of her depth!

     Valen continues to casually follow behind, engaging in idle chit-chat with Kit. "I suppose the best we can for now do is just find out where he's going?" he says under his breath. 

Moving down another street Mrancsi takes his time as he strolls through the Valias, repsonding to one or two greetings but otherwise keeping to himself.  The streets here are immaculate, the trees lining both sides of the dressed stone sidewalk are well tended and beautiful, the street itself is made of cut and smoothed stone too, which you all realise must have been both a huge undertaking and a great expense.  The evening is approaching but you still have more than an hour of daylight left.

The crowds thin out further, if you wish to stay close to Mrancsi as he heads towards a residential street there is a chance he will notice, roll stealth if you wish to stay fairly close or follow from a distance without the need for secrecy. 

Kit glances at Valen. "Stay close, or drop back?" she murmurs quietly.

Brock would shake his head... unable to notice anything strange. He would then wait until the carriage had driven away before following behind the man and entering the building. 

The central entrance way to the building is a large wooden door, that looks as though it has been kicked in a few times and patchily repaired.  As Brock moves through Kyve places a hand on his shoulder "Are we going to knock on the doors one by one?" the rogue asks Brock.   He looks around gauging the place, trying to see any sign of where the man went but ultimately shrugs. 

There seem to be four separate doorways in the ground floor and there are another two floors above this one, so potentially 12 different dwellings.

(OOC: Crap... I though I watched him enter one door specifically... hmm)

(OOC well people often know what their neighbours look like...)

"Maybe..." Brock would reply to Kyve before approaching the first door and giving it a quick knock.

"Are we following him to know where he's going or to give Kit a better chance at impersonating him," Wallis asks Valen and Kit with a curiously cocked eyebrow but keeping her tone of voice low.

"Both," Kit murmurs with a grin, starting to move a little closer.

Stealth: 20

Wallis follows Kit.

Stealth mode: 18; ugh but NOT a Nat 1!!

OOC: Valen got his actual face now?

      "I don't believe I have the natural talents of being able to hide in the open like you. It's a good thing I have other means," Valen gives the two women a wry grin and ducks into an alley. 

(DM: Looking for a place to cast invisibility... but refreshing his disguise beforehand in case it has been some time.)
