Get back down and investigate whatever he thing that fell is. Am I satisfying the conditions of the letter? Fairly certain I said to do that in an earlier post.
You are currently satisfying the conditions of the letter.
The thing that fell seems to be a top hat of some sort. It seems fairly standard at first, although on closer inspection there is some sort of mechanism inside the flat disc part of the hat.
- I guess I do. Not in person, more like a pen-friend.
"And did he give you that coin?"The man sounds inquisitive, for now at least.
"Nope all quiet so far. What's going on?
The stranger goes back around the corner. You hear him pulling something along the floor.
"Look at this."He shows you a person--or body--lying on the floor, wearing an outfit similar to his. The stranger himself is drops an unloaded pistol onto the floor.
"Blasted meddlers. They were probably trying to set up some sort of ambush with that fake call. I'm glad you made it." He extends his arm for a handshake.
"Name's Thomas. Thomas Highmount. I'm here to make sure you get out of here before our enemies find you. I don't know their motives, but they can't be good. Chances are they'd have killed you."Get my boys on high alert. Ready to fire!
Your gang is mostly equipped with long-barreled railguns and a few semi-automatic coilguns with a shorter effective range, but more firepower. You can also send someone to man the tower's only anti-aircraft gun still left, a relic from old times. You've got a stockpile of explosive rounds that you've never needed to use thanks to a lack of... visits, although you can't replace them.
Your expected firepower against most transportation helicopters should be enough to significantly threaten one if necessary.
