Default AVB - The Ferreting One

This thread is for bindin garoth and GM(s) only. Please do not read it.

You reach a large gatehouse in the city's outer wall, known as Rivergate. It stands open. On the other side, you can see the great river rushing by with a stone causeway built into it just inches above water level, the river flowing through channels under and through the stone. The Fortress is built on a large island in the middle of the causeway.

Maz strolls right in, his head held high. Truth be told, the sight scared him a little. But he really could use the money. And so he walks right in, and asks the nearest guard "Where can i find the Captian of the Watch? Im here to inquire about the job about the spies......."

There are three Guardsmen standing outside the closed gate of the Fortress.

"Job? It's not really a job. If you have information, and it checks out, you get paid for it. Simple as that. You do already have information, don't you?"

"Unfortunately, I do not. But I was hoping to see if I could talk to the prisoner, I have a ideas on how to get him to talk. I happen to have a few spells that may get him to talk, or to convince him that I'm on his side, and get him to open up to me. I'd just need a second to prepare before meeting him." Maz says with a grin.

A black cloud settles over the guard's face, and the other two guards reach for their weapons but do not yet draw them.

"We do not under any circumstance allow random people off the street to just walk in and talk to prisoners, especially ones guilty of treason. I'm just going to assume you're ignorant and inexperienced for now, but if I catch you poking your nose into this again without delivering good information, I will have to detain you for questioning as to your involvement with the spies and traitors. Now get out of here before I change my mind."

Maz throws up his hands.

"I'm sorry I'm sorry. I just figured I'd offer up my services. I'll leave." He says, as he turns around and walks away.

'Not as easy as I thought....' He thinks to himself. Still, he wondered what he could do.......

He believes he has a plan, but would prefer backup before doing so. And so, he wonders back to the plaza, making a few inquiries along the way, of course. In addition, while it may be a bit dangerous, he takes a few of the lesser known back roads to see if his inquiries have drawn any attention from the spies. After all you never know who's listening....

He unfortunately finds nothing. It seems that no one in this district knows anything beyond what the Town Crier has said.

Maz decides to give up on finding the spies at the moment. While there were a few possible things he could do, he figures it'd be best left to someone who was better at gathering information.

He instead decides to peruse the recovery of the stolen item, and heads to Cassatta at Sunderham's Imports.

Inside, you see a short human sitting behind the counter reading a book. He briefly looks up at you then goes back to reading.

"Ah ok! thanks" Maz says as he turns around to leave. To the docks, eh? He had heard some crazy rumors about them, but he could use the money, so he continues on to the pier.

Looking past the island, you can see another large gatehouse on the far shore. Just beyond this gatehouse is the Docks and outer slums of the city. A shudder sneaks its way down your back.

'I have a bad feeling about this place........ But I need the money, unfortunately......' Maz thinks to himself. Luckily, he was confident in his spellcasting, but of course one couldn't be too prepared.

Walking, a little bit faster than normal due to his nervousness, he heads towards the main office of the shop and knocks on the front door.

"Hello!" He shouts out for them to here. "I'm here to inquire about the retrieval job!"

But first!

As you cross King's Causeway, you reach the large gatehouse on the far end of the bridge. No fewer than fourteen heavily armed guards stand at the gate. One of the guards stops you.

"Hold on a moment. What's your business in the Docks?"

OC: *Gasp*

Maz was caught off guard by the guards. He hadn't expected to be stopped simply for walking in. were the beefing up security around here for something?

"My name is Maz, and I'm simply here to inquire about a request from Cassatta at Sunderham's Imports, over on Pier 2."

"Oi, another one! That Cassatta is going to get you all killed, if she isn't already dead herself.

Look, word of advice, if you're determined to go in, then go. Just stay out of the shadows and in the light. If you're not back through this gate by dusk, may Pelor have mercy on your soul.

You pass through the gate and make it to the first intersection before you're stopped by four massive looking hobgoblins who look ready for a fight.

"What you do here?"

"Well, I'm looking to find Cassatta from Sunderham's Imports, over on Pier 2. I have to ask her about a job." Maz says rather flatly. He didn't like the way these guys were looking at him, were they going to jump them? Well, he can't just sit by and let them have their way!

He waits for their reply for the moment, but prepares to unleash a spell should they try to attack him.

You go invisible!

They rush to where you were, swinging wildly. They, quite predictably, miss.

Maz just smirks as he see the hobogoblins swinging about. Just as he planned, they were surprised and unable to counter his simple tactic. Now, to see what happens when they're surrounded.

With a bit of effort, he reaches out to his arcane energies, and tugs. Soon, the area the hobogoblins are in is filled to the brim with ghostly warriors, all poised to strike them at a moment's notice.
