Zogri will remember Reya's words and ask Amrik: What is your families involvement with Thavius Kreeg, do you know where he is?

"No idea what you are talking about." Amerik says with a shrug.   He stares off into space though and will not meet anyone's eyes.

Anyone doing anything more here before we head on to the villa?  I will move it on to the Villa this evening or tomorrow morning, if I don't get anything else here.  Insight checks?  Anything?

(Dalin isn't smart enough for an insight check)

(Nah.)

I am going to wait for everyone else to give me a 'go ahead' post.  I am worried we have lost a few people here.  If you are ready to go forward, then post here.  Dalin and Thurodurk are good.

Damrius will give insight a go 10

(Im fine with going forward, thought the others might wanted to question Amrik but gues not)

I have a message out to Bulvii's player and will move on within 24 hours if no response there.

Ok, it appears Bulvii is out, or at least has not responded to my private email or the post here.  We will continue on without him, if he comes back he can rejoin at that time.

You head out of the store and approach the gates to the upper city.  At the gates the city watch looks over your Flaming Fist badges and lets you pass through. They do not question anyone with you, and Amerik appears to be willing to cross through the gate without making any fuss.

You continue along, heading towards the villa.

Vanthampur Villa is a stately stone edifice with a detached stable house. Both buildings have sloped rooftops covered with red clay tiles. A 12-foot-high stone wall encloses the villa. Lanterns hanging along the wall’s interior are lit at dusk and extinguished at dawn to illuminate the yard and villa at night. The wall features three wooden gates — the main entrance and a coach gate to the south, and a postern gate to the north.

Bulvii looks at Amrik, "What can you tell me about the stable house?  Is it watched?  Is there an underground passage to the main house?  Is there any other way inside besides the gates we can see?"

Amrik frowns.  "Yes, yes, no."  He says with a sneer at Bulvii.

Raven nudges Amrik with a point of her sword and he gulps.  "yes there is a passage into the house, through the stable house, a secret one.  yes the stable house is watched, the entire place is watched.  No, there is no other way into the yard other than the three gates."

OOC: I don't have an issue continuing this game, but it doesn't seem there is a lot of interest here to do so.  What are you guys planning/doing here now that you are at the villa?  I know I have been busy of late, but that should just mean you should be waiting on me, but I find that there is no updates since my last post.

(I mostly forgot I was in this because I wasn't getting any notifications of people posting.  Durk is mostly just waiting for the others, he's fine just charging in or finding a better plan.)

Damrius is happy to cast disguise self and try to blag his way into the estate by posing as Amrik if we want to off him

Zogri will walk near Amrik to avoid him getting away. Amrik should be used to convince them to let us in, either by Amrik's cooperation or by using him as leverage.

"So we ahve him..."  Raven says, noding to Amrik.  "We borught him along, so let's use him to get inside." She is suggesting moving straight to the front gates with Amrik to get them pass the guards.

Reya nods her agreement to this plan.

Durk nods, looking thoughtful.

"Think we could pass as his new bodyguards or something?  Or just hold him hostage?"
