I peep through the window to see the guard placement in the holding area.

If there aren't any guards looking in my general direction or Jaster's I take a pebble/small rock (about the size of a dime) and throw it at Jaster to get his attention.

SpoilerExcellent, I'll use my slowfall to drop down into an alley and head back to the room to see if I can locate Curf. I still want to keep an eye out for anyone tailing me, and I'll wait a few seconds outside the room door to see if I hear anything before entering.

Re: Machines of War
@Keiji
SpoilerYou neither see nor hear anyone following you, but when you open the door, Curf is not there.
@CurfSpoilerJaster seems to be alone in the cell, with no guards in sight. After a brief search you find a few pebbles of the correct size.
@JasterSpoilerYou hear a soft click. Then another, and you realize someone is throwing pebbles in through your window. It's Curf.Originally Posted by The Giant

I throw enough pebbles at Jaster until I get his attention.

SpoilerKeiji just sighs, and sits on the bed to meditate for a moment.
SpoilerThe skill nobody uses (because its fun!)
Concentrate (1d20+3)[4]
I look around to see if there is any sign of struggle or a fight. If not, I wander down to the inn below to see if I notice him anywhere. If not, I think its time I wandered back to where Jaster got taken. I stay alert for any followers, but I do nothing to avoid them.

Clearly, I need to meditate longer than that before I gather my thoughts.

Re: Machines of War
For the record, it is now about mid afternoon.
@KeijiSpoilerYour thoughts wander hopelessly, and you gain no insight for the current situation. The innkeeper served Curf a meal about an hour or two ago, and he left soon after that.
Are you going to go inside, or just wander around the streets nearby?Originally Posted by The Giant

"Well, about that... I got tired of waiting for you guys, figured something must have gone wrong, and decided to come looking for you guys. I left a note at the Inn for you to read. So hopefully Keiji is smart and realizes I came looking for you.
I know it's a little late for this, but you probably should have gone after Miller first and gotten info out of him (and possibly silenced him), before visiting with Trevor.
The question now is do you want me to sneak in through the back door: now, wait until night, wait for Keiji, or some combination of the three?"

Spoiler"You should be more familiar with their security procedures around here. When would be the easiest time to have a jail break? We can wait for Keiji until about midnight. The more people we have working on this the more likely we are to succeed. The last idea is you two meet up and start something in the morning. I have a backup weapon they didn't find and could fight my way to my gear, but I would need someone to handle half the guys in this joint. Of course, Miller could be much easier to handle if we burn the place to the ground and have that as some fear leverage."

Spoiler"Of course not." Just then a surly thug walks in from the back. He escorts you to the back hallway, to the right and opens a door at the end.

Spoileryou hear someone coming down the hall, standing in front of the door.
KeijiSpoilerHang tight. Make a listen check if you like.

SpoilerDon't reply to Curf. Do something natural in whatever position I was in, probably resume pacing, but only to the wall away from the door, then face the wall and lean against it as if in despair.

Re: Machines of War
The rat man (Trevor) walks into the room accompanied by Keiji. Looks like your friend couldn't stay away. Trevor glances at the pebbles on the floor, opens Jaster's cell, and locks Keiji inside.

SpoilerDid you learn anything? I hope you can pick locks, because I am not sure if the other plans that I have will work, though my last plan is looking better.

Spoiler"I don't know how to pick locks. The best I could do is try to bend the bars. I wasn't able to find any help. Though honestly, I wasn't even sure you would still be waiting here." Keiji then walks over to attempts to force the bars (assuming the rat man is gone).
