Grimoire of the Rift (IC)

Danil shrugs and orders a small jug of mead.

John turns and walks off muttering to himself.

Why do I always seem to have my foot sovereign glued in my mouth around that girl...

John leaves the bar and begins to walk around town. Not looking for anything in particular just walking and clearing his head.

[ReaderAt2046]

"Well, did you wish for a girlfriend like that? If not, it's probably the Grimoire's fault. We know it has a peculiar sense of humor."

You notice a girl in chain shirt and with pistol at her side looking over a map with her partner.

"You can't attack the royal university, that's suicide, everyone will turn on you!"

"Look, the person that helped take down Lord Vyce is there, and our master wants her. We sneak in knock her out, and bring her back here. It's illegal to attack someone for game purposes in Tokugawa, so it'll act as a sanctuary."

"Wait, the university? in Oda? Are you talking about Patricia?"

Are you even with John outside of the bar?

Oops, I thought these people were in the bar.

University... The game... are they talking about Mori? I need to get closer to get more information.

John attempts to get closer to the pair without being noticed

They don't notice you and keep going over the plan.

"But we don't even know who she is....also she might not be a vassal. It's illegal to attack civilians."

"If she is a civilian we'll just ask her a few questions, maybe beat her up a little if she doesn't talk. I mean how well defended could she be. The royal university doesn't train magic users."

[Tantaburs]

Unsure of the strength of the two civilians John is unwilling to attempt to subdue them alone.

Damn, I need to tell the others but if i leave then I might lose these two. I need to know where they are staying before i get the others.

John waits until they have finished there conversation picking up as much of it as he can hear

Take a 10 on listen for a 18

Once they have finished he follows them until he can find where they are staying

"We better head back to the inn. Let's go." They pack up and run to the inn, heading in and paying for a luxury room before heading upstairs.

John walks over to where Lucas and Danil were sitting.

"I think those two who just walked in are planning to attack the royal academy. Mori might be in danger.

Lee (who followed Reader back) perks up at this. "Patricia's in danger huh...well I'm not going to stay here and let that happen. My base of operation is in Oda anyways. If you want I can go back."

[ReaderAt2046]

"Any clue how powerful they are? I could challenge them to a duel."

[Lexin]

"Judging from where we are right now, they might be dragons... I don't think you would win a duel with a dragon Danil..." Lucas says rolling his eyes.

[Tantaburs]

They mentioned someone named Lord Vyce. Do you have any idea who that is Lee?

[Lexin]

"Me? No idea. Loiosh?"
He asks as he repeats the question to Loiosh via telepathy

Lord vyce is a dragon. An arrogant one at that.

"From what Loiosh knows... Only that he is a dragon, a typical one to that."

[Morithias]

"From what Loiosh knows... Only that he is a dragon, a typical one to that."

Lee speaks up. "Lord Vyce is a dragon situated in the Iga family's area. I didn't know where he was until I happened to stumble across Patricia, who told me. I sent my forces and managed to take a fair amount of his resources."

He nods. "So basically this is my fault. Let me handle it."

Im not sure if they were working for this "Lord Vyce" or someone else. They were most likely after Patricia. Would you have anyway of knowing if they were human or dragon?

"They wouldn't be vassals if they were dragon. Plus dragons aren't allowed to be pro-active in the game. A dragon is only allowed to fight if they're directly attacked. No, those two are either vassals to another dragon, or just simple bounty hunters. She had a pistol...a lot of bounty hunters use Tangshima technology. So that's my guess."

[ReaderAt2046]

"I still have a feeling this is more than it appears. I've still got most of my Sorceror spells for the day. If we all work together, we've got a good chance against them."

[Lexin]

"We could try." Lucas says with a shrug "It is not like we could get ourselves killed..." he adds with slight hint of irony...

[ReaderAt2046]

"I'd just prefer to fight them now rather than have them kidnap Pat and...EEWWW!!!" ()

"...Uh, kidnap Pat and have us have to rescue her."

[Tantaburs]

There might be a way to handle this other then blowing it away. they can't leave without us knowing as long as someone stays down here. I'll see what else I can find out before we see if it is something we will have to engage.

[ReaderAt2046]

"Yeah, I just really don't want that to happen. Leaving aside the moral and psycological horror, just trying to philosphically contempalte it gives me a headache."
