WHO || Anastacia O'Keefe, Bambi Dalton, Frankie Matera, Helen Magnus, Alaric Saltzman, Alice Lincoln, Edain, Thoster Chatwyn, Hook, Adi Laskaris, Max Rast, Brantley River
WHAT || A team of Knights is tasked with providing transport off the Island for local Shadowkind
WHERE || Andres Isle
WHEN || September 19th, 2014
HOW || Actionspam

[ The two groups responsible for evacuation of Shadowkind travel to the island via stealth boat, which puts their arrival a little behind everyone else's.  They run aground not far from both the woods, and the harbor.   Edain grins out at the sleepy island, dressed in full armor, hand on the hilt of his sword.  Anastacia frowns as she watches the woods, however, clearly more on edge about what they have to do. ]

From here, everything looks so peaceful...

[ Trailing quietly behind Brantley, sans armor (move silently 19), Adi grins and offers him a hand to help him up, keeping his voice low. ] But if we do have time, cargo's a good choice. Plenty of space, and people are used to seeing them dock at odd hours.

[bluffcheck]

Exactly. Plus, the richer lords and ladies are more likely to report their precious new boats missing.

[fixyourproblem]

Thanks... [Gladly receiving the help, Brantley gets back on his feet.] Most of luxury yachts have complex anti-theft system unlike cargo ships. So, unless one of us is good with electronic locks, I think it's better to stick with cargo ship. Some of high end cargo boats also have anti-theft system though.

[oftheband]

So we smash 'em off, then. [ edain that is not how anti-theft systems work ]

[mining]

Might be a bit more complex than that, mate. They tend to be more like traps than locks. [ You know, trigger one and get set on fire, that sort of thing. Maybe not quite that dramatic?? But the alarms are startling ok ]

[bluffcheck]

Better to just avoid them completely if we can.

[Gonna take a closer look at a cargo ship he thinks could work. No idea if anything needs to be rolled /SHRUG]

[necessaryevil]

[ a spot check for traps! or search. whichever is higher, idc. ] Let's try to save smashing things as a last resort.

[bluffcheck]

[Search 18.]

Hardly fun, that. [He's kidding. Sort of.]

[fixyourproblem]

[After recovering, Brantley helps with the search. Though maybe it's pretty hard to see without low-light vision (spot 19).]

I'm sure we're going to have fun. Sooner or Later.

[And hopefully later, because he doesn't want to start getting stabbed from the beginning of the mission.]

[oftheband]

[ there is definitely some kind of high tech system wired into the side of this thing, with a keypad for access to the cabin???? oh my god why didn't we bring anyone with tech skills on this pirate mission, wynn, get with the times. ] Well?

[unhand]

[Hook leans over, frowning at the high tech thing.] I could smash it.

[bluffcheck]

[I rolled to see if Thoster would just.... let them smash it. But I rolled a 19 so no. Sorry, guys. He puts a hand on Hook's shoulder.]

These things tend alert people, don't they? Like an alarm spell. Best not to give away our position if we can help it.

Maybe one of the others would know how to handle it?

[This group isn't exactly a... brilliant bunch.]

[oftheband]

If they do, out with it. Time isn't exactly of the essence now, is it?

[bluffcheck]

[Thank goodness Andie texted Thoster right before war to remind him that phones are a thing. He's not texting Andie, though. He's not texting anyone. He's calling Alice instead.

ring ring.]

[bluffcheck]

Alice! [He manages a quick smile as she picks up before he gets down to business.] Are any of you good with alarms? Particularly ones on boats?

[Those are very specific alarms, I guess. At least he assumes so.]

Aye- we're all here at the docks. [And he'll give some descriptive landmarks. That are probably mostly boat related. And then he hangs up without saying goodbye because that's what you do in the television.

To he group he's with:]

Someone's coming to help.

[THE PHONE IMMEDIATELY RINGS AGAIN. He stares at it. And stares at it. And then picks it up.]

Hello?

[His brow furrows as if the words are another language.]

Sorry- you want me to do this? [But he's waving Hook over, all the same. Gesturing to the panel, he talks to Hook without pulling the phone away because he's not savvy like that.]

She wants you to pry that off.

[unhand]

Uh, all right... [Except not so much since Hook kind of taps it awkwardly (dex 6).] How?

[bluffcheck]

Here. [With his free hand, Thoster grabs Hook's wrist and does it his damn self (idk if its a str or a dex roll tbh. it would be 17 either way tho).]

[necessaryevil]

[ off comes the panel! meanwhile, max wanders away a few paces, a dark look crossing his face, his eyebrows knitting together as he shakes his head strangely. ]

[bluffcheck]

[With the panel open, Thoster looks even more confused. What is electronics.]

We've got it off. What now? [He nods along.] Green wire, aye.

[Turning to the group.]

Any of you lads have a knife on you?

[cutting one wire with a hook while leaving the others intact?? Seems risky.]

[fixyourproblem]

[Having a bunch of pirates hack an electronic lock, this seems to be a very good idea. Not saying Brantley's savviness on electronics is higher than any of them]

Here.

[He takes out his swiss army knife and hands it to Thoster. He always carry a knife with him. In case he needs to stab someone in the back... or neck.]

[mining]

[ Adi watches for a moment, but with nothing to contribute to the tech side of things he joins Max a few steps off and keeps an eye out (spot 16). He's too busy watching the docks to notice any subtle cues, but the odd headshake gets his attention. ]

You alright?

[bluffcheck]

Good lad. [Thoster gives Brantley and grin and takes the knife to cut the green wire. Then back to Bambi on the phone.]

Wire's cut. Anything else?

[necessaryevil]

[ max gets a nat 20 to shake off... what could be some horrible side effects, thanks to adi's interruption, and he looks over his shoulder, a disturbed look on his face. ] Something happened here. [ the cryptic words are... probably not helpful, so he adds: ] They were unloading slaves. Recently, I would guess.

They killed a man, right on this dock.

[bluffcheck]

Much appreciated, lass. [Thoster says before hanging up again. And waiting a few seconds to make sure the phone doesn't ring immediately after. Okay we're good.]

Should be safe to climb aboard.

[/completely oblivious to Max's issue rn.]

[oftheband]

One down, at least. Going to need one more, at least. Who's gonna captain this one, then?
