@Herald@Estylwen
Did either of you want to fight over potentially have Tyran captured?
I can't promise Harriet will go easy on whoever has him ;)

@SporkoBug

Leons a bit busy this upcoming round, but I could have a few NPCs round them up if you're looking for some conflict.

FORGOTTEN REALMS - Gambit of Scoundrels

Leon watched Ibdur as he groaned and sat down on the bed, grumbling about his glorious assignment of... making sure the bed didn't run off more or less. He wondered how much further they could push the man before something began to snap. The tempuran had already made one comment about switching sides... how long before the thrill of battle outweighed whatever loyalty or duty he felt to Leon and Iliskra. In the end there were really only two options: Murder him now, or trust him for however long this assignment took. Leon chose the latter, though it was concerning how much of a coin flip it was in the moment.

"I'm not seeing much a choice," Leon said, standing up and reaching for his gear, "employer wants us to slip inside. We slip inside. Though I would feel better about it if our companion here had a role to play in the mission." Leon purposefully did not use Elthel's name, preferring to keep the stark reminder that this was just business for both of them so far.

"Get in, raid for information, capture the target if plausible. Though considering the target is almost certainly an arcanist of some power they are better avoided or killed very quickly and quietly," Leon added with a shrug, "I'd rather know things like how many guards there are, how many exits, and what their routines are, but we can't have everything in life. Let's go have ourselves a chat with the rest of your companions."

Leon began putting on his gear, ensuring each item was in place and ready for the stress of combat. "Oh, and if we don't return, avenge our deaths, would you please Ibdur," Leon said with a grin.

Noted~

@Herald, would you like to do that off-screen?

And are there any more collabs being written?

@Estylwen

Up to you. Could be a quick collab

Vin can try slap Stalker for speaking the Wild Language if he wants, he's not going to have an arm afterwards though >>;;

@SporkoBug

I might actually pay money to see this. Val definitely would.

Umbra: The Abyssal Connection

Only pointing this out because Val would definitely use this against the Bears and Savio, but Savio is bonded to a firebird Wild, right? So they uh... Might have understood that offer from the mimicraptor.(GM interpretation or Sporko if you want to rework that section

I will wait for Qias post before posting for Val. We could talk here about what the group is leaning towards for a resolution here: Ally with the King or Smash em all

What's a feathery....?

Protect your innocent mind and don't ask

Antonio and the sinners, very poetic. xD

I have a strong feeling i ought to complete a few more sheets for the Wolves and the Thorned Roses. -w- Ya'll keeping me busy. And @Herald, I want my interrogation scene with Vincent! It has to happen!

@Estylwen

Its coming. Depending on the results of the next round of time skip actions of course.

FORGOTTEN REALMS - Gambit of Scoundrels

Leon shrugged at Elthel's comment, though part of him wondered why he bothered to defend the Talons when Ibdur implied that betraying them would be the wiser move. Clearly however Elthel felt about him she was still here to give them a job. Anything beyond that was beginning to matter less and less as it became clear how little the Talons knew about their foes. Right hand was a bit of a stretch given their current intel, but that mattered very little as well. Clearly Jadarl was placed enough that infiltrating his estate and either raiding his notes or eliminating him were valuable targets of opportunity for the Talons.

"Prominent estate. Magical and physical defenders, all probably with order to kill unverified guests on property. High priority target on site with a lord's ransom of intelligence if we're lucky," Leon said. It was practically a suicide run, but not impossible. He just didn't like how slated towards the Talons this operation was. If he and Iliskra were caught, they knew too little of the Talons to be worth keeping alive. If they were successful, they will have crippled the Talon's enemy in exchange for... what exactly?

"Do you care if Jadarl is alive or dead at the end of this?," Leon asked, "what's the pay? Because this sounds like an opportunity to end up with my body weighed down by rocks under the piers."

"There are other factors in play as well. Do we have a point of entry? I don't suppose he's suddenly throwing a party or recruiting event for Shagarm we could slip into?," Leon asked.

*does his daily check in on this thread, which is nowhere near often enough to keep up with all of the other players shenanigans*

...Well... I feel like I should get some popcorn for this.
