As Tori strips the Assassin of his mask, revealing a slender High Elf visage, the Alchemist pauses...

"I...I know this Elf...he and his sister were both headlining stage actors, at the Bard's College...they were recently replaced by two of those...Knights of the Hanging Chicken, for the Remembrance day Celebration...word is they stormed out of the Bard's College, furious, vowing revenge. I think their parents actually paid the director quite a large sum of money, too...but again, what does ANY of that have to do with me?"

Both Tori and X may roll Perception and Medicine

"That's all veeeeery interesting. My guess is these elves fell into the purview of the Ginger Plopping Daddy, either by debt or choice... it matters not. For all we know, the director himself is the Cookieboi. We'll head there next."

"I need to get your front door open before my partner breaks it down, so we should probably get moving. I think we should disguise you and sneak you out to the Hanging Chicken. Maybe Gavin could find a place to hide you... for a price. As for this one..." she looks down at the wounded elf. 

"**** 'em." she rests her hand on Gobiogen's Unicorn Horn pommel for a moment, looking contemplative and pursing her lips before giving a nod. Pulling a length of rope from her pack, she ties it tightly around the elf's neck in with several loops and knots, before running up the stairs, pulling his body along behind her, bumping and bouncing. Laying him on the workshop floor upstairs, she steps on his chest, pulling the rope tight for a good minute and a half before letting it drop. 

Tori then continues to rummage through the elf's possessions, looking for jewelry, weapons, gold, notes... and coils her rope back up, securing it to her pack. 

 Realizing that she had been very hasty in the initial excitement, she does second very slow and methodical sweep of the entire scene, hoping that her calm mind might allow for a more passive perception of the situation. 

(OOC, yes I named my sword Gobiogen. LMAO. Also, Tori just slipped a bit and has become chaotic)

Okay, I will let Elwin roll for one FINAL chance of tying the Assassin up before he bolts...without advantage....because I'm a nice DM....

has our perception check revealed anything)

You're the bestest DM, ever! \o/

 With a 12, X notices something wiggling in the corner of the now passed out drunkard's right eye...

After making sure the Assassin is dead (he is), Tori searches through his possessions, and finds: 200Gp, a map of the City sewers, with two Xs : one near the center, and one right under the very Tavern which she and X were investigating earlier. Also, she finds a key, and a silver dagger...

Sweet!

Athletics Check: 10

(Edit: Well, $%#@!!)

Lmao😂😂😂 OOC: I tried... The assassin bolts off, diving through the side window of the closest building... You may both roll Athletics to chase him down...DC 16...

(OOC: *head on desk*) 

A silvery cloud suddenly appears and Tam moves instantly in front of the window, blocking his exit. Rope in hand she says, "Not today, you piece of shit."

Elwin swore as the assassin bolted before they could finish restraining him. Gritting his teeth, he leapt to his feet to once again pursue him.

As Elwin struggles to keep up, Tam Misty steps through the window, following the assassin, and appearing right in front of him, effectively blocking his way and pinning him to the ground once more. Inside the room they randomly crashed is a sink, and a bathtub with a terrified naked old lady holding a towel to cover herself...she screams in horror, as Tam and the cloaked Halfling start wrestling in her bathroom. The door slams open, and a middle aged Dwarf holding a Hammer busts into the room. "Hey you two scumbags! Get the Hell away from my mother!"

X noticed the weird wiggling and began to move towards it still holding the drunkard in his grasp “did you notice anything“ he asked not even looking at the person as he looked around the scene

Tori's face lights up as she finds all manner of fascinating things in the pockets and crannies of the elf assassin's frock. Opening her belt pouch, she safely stashes the coin, then opens the clasp on her necklace, sliding the key down around the cord to sit by the symbol of Mielikki. 

Her eyes gleam more than a little at the sight of the silver knife and she grins, giving the Alchemist a look. "This might come in handy!" she says as she slides the dagger carefully into her belt next to her Scimitar. 

Carefully folding the map and placing it within her inner cloak pocket, sealed tight with two buttons, she takes a deep breath. "Alright, it looks like we have a couple of options for investigation here, but let's try and get you to safety first. I'm going to need you around for a while to collect on that life debt. I'm sure we can work something out."

With that, she turns to the front door and holds out her hands, palms forward. "Kuwa amekwenda, wachawi wanyonge kwenye mlango."

The door begins to glow, magic swirling around it in greenish tendrils which collapse and regrow in waves, reaching back towards Torment's hands in intricate, ever changing patterns. 

(OOC you make me have the feels!)

The front door opens effortlessly, as Tori dispels the Arcane lock. She can see X in the side alley, covered in vomit and intensely observing the passed out drunkard in his arms, staring into his eyes...

Tam's head wipes around between the screaming woman and the Hammer guy, but her attention is squarely on the halfling under her knee. She has the rope in hand, but can't quite get him to stop squirming.

Saying to the room, "This bastard just killed Florence Quickblade of the Old Chariot Clan, and we mean to take him back for justice. To you ma'am, our sincerest apologies. To you sir, would PLEASE put the hammer down and help me!?"

Tori watches the door swing open with satisfaction and gives the scene a crooked smile. "Well look who it is."

Whispering back over her shoulder to the Alchemist - "This is my horse... I mean partner I told you about: X41."

Giving a shout to the scum-covered Warforged, she stifles a giggle - "What the hell happened to you? Have you taken a bath in the cesspool?"

Seeing his intent stare, she raises an eyebrow. "What is it?"

X looked over at tori and gave her a wave as he let out what could he assumed a robotic sigh “I apologize for my appearance, this man is such with alcohol and vomited on me, or so my old companions called it, as for what I saw I could have sworn I witnessed something in his eye”   

Tori pulls her priestess vestments out of her pack and tosses the green robes at the Alchemist. "Hurry and get dressed in these and stay out of sight. We're going to have to hide you to get you to the Tavern alive". 

Sauntering over to X, she stands on her tippy-toes and has a look for herself. "Is that a worm?! I say we dig it out and keep it as a pet!" 

She makes sure to stay well away from the biological hazard squirming in the drunk's eye. Pulling a candle from her pouch and lighting it, she holds it uncomfortably close to the drunk's eye to see if the thing squirms. 

X looked at the alchemist with question before looking at Tori who suddenly got close to him and the drunken person he was holdng in his grasp with a blank look that seemed to carry an odd vibe to it as if questioning what she was going "I believe that would be a bad idea to dig into his eyes... I think we could just let him go or get ride of him somewhere" he suggested backing away a bit before looking at his puke covered chest "I must also ask if you have a way for me to clean myself as I do not enjoy being covered in this dirty substance"

Elwin finally reached the window the assassin had ran to... and groaned at the mess that greeted him.

"Hey, don't ask for his help!" he yelled at Tam as he started climbing into the room, intending to block off the only exit. "If he helps, we'll have to share the reward with him!"
