WHEN || September 19th, 2014
HOW || Actionspam

[ It seems that Wynn was hoping for Sir Mark Sandazhard to reveal his true identity, and to lead the charge against Dimitris Sarandis' tyrannical hold over the island he was born to rule.   He was not disappointed, and Prince Marcus Andres stands poised to lead the group of Knights who he's worked beside for two years, to confront Sarandis, save their friend Kat, and search the castle dungeon for the captive Dragon's Claw, Sir Thomas Bancroft.    

Before they attempt to answer the castle, however, it's time to reunite the Prince with his childhood friends on the Isle, who had long held out hope that he was still alive, including his once-betrothed, Countess Lara Tamon.  Their first task will be to convince Lara to make a risky attempt to draw Kat out of the castle.  

The fate of their captured allies, and the future of Andres Isle, lie in their hands.  ]

tunnel team ♔ (kadir, sebastian, malina, val'drin, phineas)

[demolitionman]

[ the demolitions team is coming by a small boat with invisibility cast on it, given that teleportation is deemed a little bit too dangerous when they're carrying volatile bombs along. the exit of the tunnels that's been sealed over is in a cove off the coast, and they park the boat nearby on the rocky shoreline in the dark.

kadir jumps out of the boat and looks back to where his bombs are, nodding to sebastian in the dark. ] Word of advice. Don't drop 'em.

[bredinthebone]

[Malina eases her way off the boat after him, before glancing back to the rest of the team. Yeah, dropping those would be bad.]

Maybe we should try conveyor-belting them off, just to be safe?

[opprobrium]

[ Sebastian chuckles, actually chuckles he can see Kadir just fine.]

Gathered that much man, and here.

[ he tossed him his lighter.] I'm a smoker, keep that shit away from me until this is done.

[ he didn't want to blow them up.]

[demolitionman]

[ he got a 25 reflex save to catch that lighter because YOU BET YOUR ASS BOMB SPECIALISTS HAVE HIGH REFLEX SAVES. with a chuckle, he nods at malina. ] Good idea.

[bredinthebone]

[She nods as she places herself between Kadir and Sebastian, taking a moment to make sure she's on firm ground and it wasn't going to quicksand out from under her. Then she holds out her hand to Sebastian and gestures him to hand the first bomb to her.]

Nice and easy.

[thesleeper]

[Quiet as usual, Phineas slips off the Boat, and uses his Far Hand ability to pick one up, and float it through the sky over to rest snug under his arm.]

I don't know whether I'm shaking from fear of blowing myself up, or in anticipation of blasting all of these off...

[valdrin]

I thought the idea was not to alert the entire island to our presence. [ val'drin will get out of the boat and proceed to... let you fuckers unload that shit, who do you think he is. ]

[demolitionman]

It's called a controlled explosion, Cabot. [ he watches phineas TK the bomb with a wary eye ] It's fine. It won't even register to most people.

[bredinthebone]

[She's also watching that TK very cautiously, before glancing back to Val'drin with a Look. Really?]

Are you going to be helpful or just provide color commentary all night? Because I didn't sign up for you to play both Statler and Waldorf.

[valdrin]

Are those names meant to mean something to me?

[bredinthebone]

[She presses her lips together, studying his face for a moment to determine if he was serious, before shaking her head, as though his lack of knowledge about felt puppets was something tragic to be pitied.]

When we get back, I'm introducing you to the Muppets.

[demolitionman]

Can we save the cultural lessons for after we blow a big hole in the ground? [ i mean, that's literally what you said, but STILL. POINT STANDS. ]

[opprobrium]

[ Sebastian finally hands the first bomb over to Malina. Listening to the others talk as he smirked to himself. ] I know Im pretty much ready for the 'lets blow shit up' part.

[ He's young.]

[valdrin]

I'm glad it's 'when' and not 'if'. Listening to some of these Knights go on, you'd think this was Nazi Germany all over again. [ he says, in a tone that implies he was

actually there ]

[bredinthebone]

[Malina takes the bomb easily and shuffles it towards Kadir, making sure he had it before moving back for the next one.]

Please. If I'm going to die, it's not going to be here. I intend to be very old and beating Harrison at pinochle in an old folk's home.

[She's aware that that's not really a life choice for most knights, but it's what she's aiming for.]

[thesleeper]

I'd like to second the whole "not dying here" thing... for the record.

[He slowly helps them move along some bombs. He can only use Far Hand every so often, so he's moving at a slower pace. But it's got style, and that's what really matters.]

[opprobrium]

[ Sebastian has the next one ready for her, ready to hand it over.]

Fuck, I don't mind dying here. Better to die for a purpose then die old.

[bredinthebone]

[Malina smirks a bit at that, taking the next bomb and moving the conveyor belt along.]

Well, if that's really what you want, sweetie, we won't hold that against you.

[demolitionman]

[ kadir grins at malina's comment, shaking his head as they pass the last few onto the beach. ] Can you guys holding off dying while I'm team leader? It might reflect poorly on my next performance review.

[opprobrium]

[ Sebastian chuckles dome and gets the next one ready to hand over.]

Hey, I'll do my best. I got a woman who will find a way to bring me back to kill me again if I get my ass killed here. Still doesn't mean it wouldn't be a fun way to die.

[bredinthebone]

[Malina laughs, but she'll just keep passing the bombs along, slowly and smoothly so as not to jostle the highly dangerous explosives.]

See, I would go with painful over fun, but I tend to like my limbs staying attached to my body.

[demolitionman]

Solace could always grow you a new one.

[opprobrium]

See perks right there.

[ he chuckled some, moving on along at least until they run out of bombs.]

[bredinthebone]

[And once they do that, Malina will glance ahead to where they're actually supposed to be planting them.]

Let's get this show on the road? Or do we need to wait for a signal?

[demolitionman]

We can get started. Anything up your sleeve, or any scrolls on you to help with the noise factor? [ lugging up the road to the cove ]
