Squack squack!Roll d6 →
4 = Success!: WELL, THAT’S SURE UNDERWHELMING… WAS HOPING FOR A NICE PARROT SEGMENT. THE PARROT’S NOW AT THE TRAIN STATION. NEXT!
“Jacob and… you four, follow me,” says Fansworth. He gestures into the still-smoldering building and leads the captured rebel, and four soldiers about his height and build, Jacob gives a defiant look as he walks off, hands tied behind his back.
Ignoring him, Celling turns to address the rest of the group. “Alright, boys, here’s the plan,” he says to the forty-odd crowd of tired, battered guardsmen (and David). “We’re going to split into two groups. Then, we disguise one of our own people as Jacob, and force Jacob to put on the uniform of one of our soldiers. We fake some kind of an altercation - make it look like we’re handcuffing some soldiers on disciplinary grounds - so that we can get Jacob tied back up. I’ll lead a group to the train station with the decoy Jacob, and we’ll bring Anna’s body. Meanwhile, my colleague Fansworth will transport the real Jacob to the docks.
Someone speaks up. “We’re gonna need someone that’s basically the same height and build as Jacob then,”
“Well, that’s what Fansworth is figuring out right there.”
(this is pure luck, so no four-spell for you)
Roll d6, “how good a match can we find?” where:
1 = Nobody looks remotely like Jacob
2 = Alright, someone has the same height, but a totally different face and build
3 = There’s a decent match, but a few seconds of close inspection will reveal the difference
4 = A fairly good match for Jacob’s appearance
5 = The best person found is really close to Jacob’s appearance
6 = Someone’s basically Jacob’s twin
Result: 3 → Eh, it’s fine.
“Alright, Jacob,” Fansworth says, uncuffing his hands. He’s standing in the middle of a circle of guns trained on him. “Take off your shirt, pants, and shoes, and hand them over.”
Fansworth looks around the soldiers he picked. The best match he can find is one James Emand, who’s got the height and maybe the build. A few seconds up-close, however would break the illusion. His hair’s sandy yellow as opposed to Jacob’s blond, and his eye color is slightly off.
David looks at Celling skeptically. “Please explain why all this is necessary?” he asks.
“We don’t know whether these rebels have help or other forces operating in the area,” Celling answers. “And we can’t afford to risk losing Jacob. Splitting up is going to confuse them. And you’re going to move with us, David, since we’re trying not to draw attention to the dock team.”
“No, I’m not,” answers David. “If I’m not going to be able to help you transport these people to the small, dark cell where they belong, I’ve got to go find the Pillar of Time before some hoodlum steals it. I still remember where the Secondborn left it.” David raises his hand and pinches his fingers, preparing to teleport. “So if you haven’t got anything better for me to do, I’ll go do that now.”
