Conall nods.
"Aye, he knows a little something about everything the bleedin' squierl."

[flame99]

((Apologies, but I can't think of much to do.))

[Sergius]

"The infamous Spite eh? I've been here only once or twice, and always escorted. I see that you lads are already very familiar with this place, so I'll let you make the decisions, but count on me for any assistance you think you may need!" says Groovington. "Of course, I will have to do my best to blend in with the locals." he adds as he takes off two golden cufflinks from his sleeves and puts them in his pocket, and loosens his scarf slightly.

[Tiruin]

[Uh, guys? Is there any problem with the GM post? Do I have to add anything?]

((Nope, this is the time we pursue our leads! The hunt is on!))

Josephine looked around, and felt a tinge of sadness creep into her. The abject poverty was prevalent in the buildings, streets and clothing of the people.

"What leads do we have, at the moment? Why isn't there anyone helping the people around here?"

[Emma]

Ulgurk fidgets uncomfortably. He isn't a huge fan of the Quickdraw Blackguard and Quickdraw doesn't appear to be a huge fan of him. "Er... Quickdraw, I'm a- I'm looking ' for a man. His name is er- Wilhelm Baker. You heard about 'im?"

[Tack]

John keeps a wary eye on QuickDraw, and a wary hand near his rifle.
"Friend o' yers?"

John & Ulgurk



The Quickdraw's expression is hidden in his cloak. "I might have. Hard to keep track of it all when my business is to know who come and goes in the Docks." The moonish-light glinted off his fake eye. "You have a companion," he stated, gesturing to John. "A Tomb-colonist? What do you need with the s-.. this Wilhelm Baker? A score to settle?" The Blackguard's new cloaked appearance means that Ulgurk can't see his face, but most likely he is now wearing that expression he has when he smells profit, or is about to pump someone full of lead. "Information for information." he said.

Conall & Kate



Conall and Kate headed off into the urban wilderness of Spite, the danger and chaos familiar to them. Lenny the Nose may be a master of disguise, but his sniffling always gave him off to those who were looking for him. According to him, it was decreed by the Topsy King that he shall sniffle after he had made off with the King's collection of paintings. Hopefully, Lenny will remember his old friend Conall, even though his encounter with Kate was too brief for them to know each other.

Conall's Contacts - Overcome Roll: (-)( )( )( ) + 3 VS + 2 (Fair): Tie!

The two looked, or more like listened, for Lenny the Nose. They didn't quite expect the man toe run right to them.

"Conall and Miss Kate! *snff* Good seeing you here! Can you distract *snff* a Constable for me?"

And before the two could answer the shrill whistle of the Constables could be hear, and the little man tossed away his wig and ducked away into a corner. Looks like they will have to earn his help and chase him down.



"Halt in the name of the law!" A Constable appeared round the corner on the other side, presumably not noticing the two as he raced down the street on a... velocipede?

Josephine & Charles

The two found themselves in the company of each other as their associates who were more experienced in Spite went off. Charles Groovington took extra precautions against unwanted attention while Josephine acquainted herself with the misery and poverty of Spite, as well as thinking about where next they could go.

Josephine's Investigate - Overcome Roll: (+)(+)(-)(+) + 2 = 4 VS 2 (Fair) = Success!

Although Spite is known for its energetic trade in secrets and the unwillingness of people to share them, the official commodity of the market is silk. Utilizing the traditional method of investigation, Josephine and her associate went around the market and chatted with the silk-weavers about a certain Wilhelm Baker.



The silk-weavers do not tend to involve themselves in gossiping, but one must know what happen on the streets in order to live in Spite.

"The Semiotic Surgeon? I'm afraid I haven't heard of him," the Elderly Silk-weaver said apologetically, "but I do know that an academic of some sort lived over - here." she drew a map on a piece of paper, pointing to a house. "A mysterious sort, though, but they might be him."

[AlleeCat]

What kind of stuff is around us currently? Are there market stalls? Crates? Baskets? Any sort of clutter?

[kj1225]

Conall turns and waves down the constable. Was it Burbon? He always did have a stick up his bum about Lenny. No idea why. Musta shagged his sister or something.

[Tack]

John stays back, happier to let those better acquainted do the negotiating. He keeps a wary eye out though, judging by Ulgurk's stiff demeanor.

Quietly he murmurs aside to Ulgurk:
"Not someone a tomb-colonist would need, eh?"

[Tiruin]

"Might is a strong word."

Josephine thanked the Elderly Silk-weaver before turning towards her compatriot.

"Would you like to survey the area, or prefer the more direct route? I'd be doing the latter back on the surface, but I'm pretty cautious given the state of affairs," she said as she gestured to the scenery around her.

Quietly he murmurs aside to Ulgurk:
"Not someone a tomb-colonist would need, eh?"

"He mighta been about to say that. But Quickdraw rarely says something without meaning to." He turns back to the hooded man. "I gotta find this guy causa... Becuase of work. If you know where he is, I'd be willing to pay you. What do ya want to know?"

[Sergius]

Sir Charles adusts his monocle, and replies "well... I would think there's not much point in dilly-dallying around here. I would suggest we cut straight to the chase!"

[Tack]

McKillan gives a blank-faced stare to Ulgurk.
"I think what he wanted t' know was why we were after Baker. Let's not overpay th' lad, eh?".

John & Ulgurk



"The price depends. Will you be heading to Mrs. Plenty's Carnival? There's something I wish I have investigated," the Quickdraw said "And as your associate said, there's also the matter of why."

Conall & Kate



Kate looked around quickly for something she can turn to their advantage.

Kate's Notice - Create Advantage Roll: (+)(+)(+)(+) + 1 VS 1: Success with style!

The market of Spite is always crowded and filled to the brim with stalls holding goods which might be troublesome to an unlucky gentleman on a velocipede. Why, that cabbage stall doesn't seem to be tended to right now, and perhaps if the owner return to find a mess they might even try to file for recompensation from the Constables.

[Aspect Discovered: The Unattended Cabbage-stall]

For a less... destructive route, looking down from above the buildings like a particularly filthy cherub is a small figure with a fishing rod. One of the urchins of the Fisher-King.



The Fisher-King always liked Conall and Kate, and getting them to angle for the velocipede might be interesting. Of course, getting their attention might be harder than knocking over a stall.

[Aspect Discovered: The Fisher-King of Spite]

While Kate considered her options, Conall waved at the Constable, hoping to get his attention.

Conall's Deceive - Create an Advantage roll: (+)(-)(+)(+) VS 3: Failure

"Not now, citizen, I have a criminal to catch!" It turns out the the Constable is indeed Burbon, but he seemed to be too focused on chasing down Lenny the Nose to recognize Conall.

Josephine & Charles

The two set out to find the lodging of the academic. Following the map was not difficult. Avoiding trouble on the street, on the other hand, is a different matter.

Josephine's Notice - Defend Roll: (+)( )( )( ) + 3 VS 2: Success
Charles' Notice - Defend Roll: (-)(-)(+)(+) + 3 VS 2: Failure



Sir Charles Groovington felt his hat getting lifted off his hat and whipped back to confront the thief, only to find no one. Looking up, he sees his hat floating mid-air and heard the distant laughter of children. Josephine, on the other hand, noticed that far above them in the misty gloom is some sort of network of bridges. It's hard to make out their shapes in the dim light but there seem to be a hairy figure with a fishing rod who had hooked up Groovington's hat, and a few other children with them. One of the children took the rod from the monkey, handed it something, and then waved the rod around.

The hat isn't out of reach yet, and the urchin seemed to be deliberately keeping it at that level to see what Charles would do.
