The troopers lead him to a ragged base where more troopers are. The leader is a trooper in a poncho with goggles over his helmet.
Jack nods slowly, clutching on to Phoenix.
Antonio nods quietly, taking note. "Three things you feel around you."
Angel smiles brightly, warmly. He raises a hand and the consciousnesses of the soldiers form into a solid beaded bracelet in his hand. "Hola amigo!" He says, tilting his head "I would like to have a word with you."
"Hon...where are you flinching so much?"
"The air, your breath....and i dunno...the warmth of the sun..."
"Whats the word."
"I'm a bit jumpy right now.." he says quietly.
"Good. What are two things you smell?" He asks.
"That enforcing a fee on those who arrive here is wrong and that I was attacked for not paying it." He said.

This mortal body is expendable, I will be released from my binding soon.
Angel is still a bit sore from the beating he took from the stormtroopers. He is sitting inside the tavern, drinking coffee while flexing his hands to try and see if they still work.
William is sipping coffee while counting tips in his office.
Richard is sharpening his nails, taking a stroll outside.
*hmmm, who to use today*
Argent walks into the tavern, wearing their plague doctor mask as usual
Jason is enjoying the cloudy morning
Anastasius is reading from an old necromancy tome
Rory is taking a shortcut back to the shrine to avoid any potentially hostile people, mumbling about funds to himself
Angel looks up and throws a warm smile Argent's way.
Richard watches Rory and snaps his fingers with a huff. Back in the shrine, a pile of gold coins has appear. About 60,000 gold coins to be exact.
They seem to smile back, tho as usual the mask doesn't show it. They walk over to angels table, "May I sit?"
Rory stumbles a little, dropping some stuff. He sighs, kneeling down to pick it up, "Gods, not my month..."
"Of course!" He beams "My name is Anthony but you can call me Angel." He says.
Richard appears besides him, picking him up. He snaps his fingers and the items put themselves in the bag. "Are you okay?" He asks.
"Argent" They say, sitting down at the table, absentmindedly tracing the grain kf the wood, "Nice to meet you"
"I.... I don't know right know" He sighs, looking more tired than usual as he picks back up the bag "Thank you"
"What's your mask made from?" Angel asks, tilting his head.
"Anything for you." He said and walks back to the shrine.
"Leather, I like how it fits" They hum
Rory smiles a little from that, following behind him
"It's beautifully made I must say. Looks hand crafted." He said.
"How are you feeling?" He asked, raised an eyebrow.
"Thank you" They seem very happy, "Took me a few months"
"Your voice, birds, people, and....and a voice in my head..."
The troopers lead him to a ragged base where more troopers are. The leader is a trooper in a poncho with goggles over his helmet.
Jack nods slowly, clutching on to Phoenix.
Antonio nods quietly, taking note. "Three things you feel around you."
Angel smiles brightly, warmly. He raises a hand and the consciousnesses of the soldiers form into a solid beaded bracelet in his hand. "Hola amigo!" He says, tilting his head "I would like to have a word with you."

"Good. What are two things you smell?" He asks.
"That enforcing a fee on those who arrive here is wrong and that I was attacked for not paying it." He said.
"Whys that?"
"Spices...and...flowers..."
"A fee is a fee."
"Mn.." he hides his face in the fabric of Phoenix's shirt.
"Wonderful. One thing you taste."
He clicks his tongue "An unfair fee." He says and chuckles.
Mauric stands back up, and attempts to approach. “It’s alright. You were defending yourself.”
"That's a vaili haven't seen in a minute."
"NO! NO ITS NOT OK!"
Caramel attempts to put the item on him, and succeeds after a few attempts. Healing magic washes over you.
“Okay. Honestly, you’re right. It isn’t okay, but that doesn’t mean we can’t do something rational. Things aren’t good now, but they’re going to BE okay.”
"Cool." he grumbles, sitting up
He aura pulses brighter, forcing them further back. "NO ITS NOT! I MURDERED THEM!"
<Why does this keep happening to you?>
”I understand that,” Mauric says loudly and firmly, “but if you keep yelling that we’ll get caught and arrested! You need to calm down just for a second, please!” Persuasion check: Dice rolls not yet available for this section.
"Its bad luck."
*might wanna re-roll.*
<Bad luck meaning ‘rabid hook horror colony’?>
10
"Something like that."
He frowns. "I DONT CARE."
<I’m gonna need more exact wording than that.>
“Alright, please don’t be mad at me later for this then.” Mauric casts entangle centered on Nick. “I’m sorry!”
"Yes. It was that."
STR: 14
<Really? Really??>
Fail. Roots and vines trap Nick. “I’m so so so sorry.” Mauric says, and he looks to very much mean it. “I really like you, but I don’t want to get blown through the wall by your magic OR arrested. We need to clean this up and get rid of the bodies.”
He nods.
His aura flares, making the vines slowly disintegrate.
<Alright. Well, would you like to come back to the Inn and not get mauled a second time?>
“Oh.” Mauric looks genuinely afraid, and begins backing away ever so slightly.

"Nah..."

<Then what are we doing?>
Mauric’s ears flatten as he backs into the wall. “In all fairness, I only did that because I couldn’t hug you and was worried you might hurt yourself! And when we first met, we were in a very similar scenario to this one!”
