[ The teleportation spell brings them to a chilly, but recognizable destination. Though it isn't exactly the same as the city that Natasha may recall, the Kremlin is impossible to misidentify, and that's precisely where Loki is headed.

Natasha's free will is returned to her the minute they arrive, leaving her slightly disoriented, and potentially questioning why she had even listened to his demands (pending a reasonable wisdom check). They touch down 500 yards from the front of the Kremlin. ]

No one told me about any secret passageways that might exist in the walls or wherever, if that's what you mean. But a back door -- or any sort of real exit door -- would obviously mean getting back down to the first floor, first. [A beat.] Unless we're all up for jumping out one of the windows on this top floor. [She says that with a straight face but no, it's obviously not a serious suggestion.]

[godoftableflips]

What other option would you give me, brother?

To see you slain for your crimes? To wield the sword myself? [ i keep rolling every round to see if he notices everyone has fucked off and the answer

is still no. anyway he looks emotionally pained and angsty over here at the prospect of having to put loki down like a three legged family dog. ] You know I cannot let stand what you have done. Ever and again, you grant me no choice.

[jotun]

[ ok like here's the thing loki notices but like

does he care ???

the dice say no. he cares to a degree of 2. and it's not hard to imagine why, given that he has what he wants now: attention. from the one person he could possibly want it from. so he's effectively not following the others at all and they'll just

have no idea what happened to loki at all until they hear about russia on the news i guess. but congrats you got the decanter??

as they leave, loki is still raging. ]

If I've truly tied your hands, then take up that beloved hammer of yours and finish this, brother.

[ ... Natasha, you are being so helpful, thank you. Obviously they need to go downstairs, but the best way to do that is not the elevator.]

Let's take the stairs.

[ambitionist]

It's the fucking Kremlin, of course there are secret passageways. [his knowledge (history?) check was only like 14 tho so that is ... all the information he has to share with the world about said passageways. but he shrugs like ok whatever. stairs. let's do it.]

[bowtimeandspace]

I'm not sure that pair out there would notice the building falling down around them. We should be able to just stroll past.

[ Sadly he doesn't know where those passages are either. ]

That said, someone with a big pointy thing might want to go first.

[generaldavideus]

[Given that he is the one with the big pointy thing, but not going to be much good with Andie in his arms.]

Someone can either take her rapier or take her and I can take point. I'm not picky.

[But in the meantime, he's just going to keep walking and looking for the stairs (navigate ... 9). Someone else should probably take point if this is the precedent we're setting.]

[krasnayapautina]

Yeah. I'll grab the rapier, then. [So she does. She's more confident with that than taking on the possibility of accidentally dropping a teammate at some point. To the stairs they go (navigate 19).]
