12.1 Eastport - Theatre (Danyar, Bradon, Laura and Angis)
A the heroes decide the theater should be scouted first and send a couple ahead. The area around the White Crow Theater is a generally nice area obviously once a place with more money than still in the economy it is starting to show its wear much like the other buildings around.

***Angis nodded as Lyssenia made the call for the group. He leaned in for her whisper and nodded again. “Aye, lass. Be careful still.”
Angis looked to the others. “Orf we gae, lads and lass!”
[Angis, Danyar, Bradon and Laura :: White Crow Theatre District]
Angis knew he wasn’t any good at scouting or talking to folk. So when they reached the district of the White Crow Theatre he kept his eyes peeled for a pub with a good view of the theatre. Being near a theatre meant there would likely be plenty of pubs and eateries in which he could casually nurse an ale.

This was Bradon's style, knowing what people were up to. Best way was to listen and watch without anybody noticing. You learn a lot, unless everyone else blunders in.Re: 12.1 Eastport - Theatre (Danyar, Bradon, Laura and Angis

Streetwise
As we approach the Theatre district, I cross the street and keep back a few steps from my companions to scout out the area and watch for anything of interest. I look for the White Crow Theatre and see who is and isn't soliciting the business and who is or isn't watching the business.Danyar

Re: 12.1 Eastport - Theatre (Danyar, Bradon, Laura and Angis
As the team heads down there Bradon, Daynar, and Laura break off ahead and go to scout it out. But within minutes they can see that their intentions are compromised as Laura once found gives the other two away with a glance that last too long. Only seconds later Bradon, and Laura find they have large men standing around them smiling, trying to herd them together.
A Large man significantly more experienced looking than the rest comes forward chewing on a cigar. He exhales a large bit of smoke before saying. “What can I help you fine folks with. You seem to be lost and looking into to things that are really none of your concern.” Dropping his cigar and stepping on it the man finishes. “Tell you what, head on back whenever you came before you decided to come spy on us and we can pretend like this never happened.”

***Tieronar
Angis cursed as he saw the big men walk up to Bradon and Laura. So much for reconnaissance. Angis quaffed his ale and dropped a few coins on the table to pay before he stood and belted up. He walked casually out of the pub, but not in the direction of his companions. He angled off on the other side of the street, as if passing through.***

30 men in there. They know something, perhaps something they shouldn't know. This complicates things. Bradon muses, intent on looking further, until he realises that Laura has given them away. Inwardly he curses as they are surrounded. I should have insisted on doing this myself. Luckily, Bradon looks nothing like a ranger, but with some clothes covering his armour, a bit of less salubrious member of society, a fact that was about to put him in good stead.

Bradon looks at the experienced leader and tips his hat, laughing at his companion.
"They spotted you Laura, you owe me 20 marks. I told you that they were more attentive than that."
He turns to face the leader and looks him in the eye, obviously not backing down, but giving him a few non-verbal hints that they were also up to something dodgy and were passing through.
"Or we pretend that you are not poking into our business. Call it some professional curteousy. You don't notice us, we didn't notice you."

The man looks a little off put for a moment, but his tone changes from one of outright hostility to merely lacking the friendliness of normal business people. "Oh, and what business do you think you have here? This is a respectable area and the people of this quarter pay nicely to ensure that there is no trouble."

Notice
Sitting across the street, Danyar watches the exchange between Bradon and the lead goon. As he watches them, he watches the reactions of the other guards and of people in the area. Maybe the guards are visible but, there may be more guards blending in as local folk. While watching, he notices Angis walk out of the pub he was in and just walk casually in another direction. Nice, not drawing attention to himself, that is good.After watching the people, Danyar moves his attention to the buildings, alleys and general movement of traffic in the area, looking for escape/ambush sites that could be used for and against them. He tries to work out plans in his head as to how they may accomplish their mission both peacefully and back handedly.

Bradon scratches his little beard as if considering something.

As they move away and able to meet up again with the others, Bradon looks concerned
"They are on edge, quick to respond in force and not afraid of the Watch. Maybe its nothing, but I think we should secure everything else on the list right now. We come back here in force and either I am at my smooth, suave best, able to sell sand and freedom to a Northerner or this becomes a fight and a bloody one considering their numbers."

Re: 12.1 Eastport - Theatre (Danyar, Bradon, Laura and Angis)
As the rangers approach the Theater district again, this time with less subtlety and more muscle Maxwell says. "I am gonna have a few guys go ahead of us, and pick some good perches. You sending any men in?"
Leaving an opportunity for those who need to to get into position and wait for things to be worked out the team.
As you finally come forward, you see it is Much like last time the Mockeries men can be spotted moving into position. However this time the men approaching have no doubt that you are up to something. Coming forward to speak for their group the same man as earlier speak.
"I see you returned with a couple friends. What do you want this time?" the big man's demeanor is no more kind than it was before, even with such a large group of allies. Obviously Adran thinks you are trespassers.
You can see though as he surveys your visible numbers that he is not as sure of himself. A man in a position like his is likely normally used to being the one with numbers in his favor.

Angis nodded to Maxwell. Getting some cover from above would be good. He scanned the square at the Theatre as the Mockeries approached.
“We’re ‘ere f’r the same thing we were b’fore, lad,” the scarred, ugly dwarf said. “An’ we ain’t tae keen on ye ‘oldin’ f’r ransom wot’s needed f’r savin’ the lives o’ folk in this city.

Lysennia smiles at the brusque dwarf's directness.Many considered his people quite prosaic, dour and reticent. Angis however painted a very colourful picture in his description. It was almost lyrical in its flow, and she could almost smell the ship he described.Angis Ironheart wrote: ↑Fri Jan 11, 2019 4:50 am Angis nodded to Maxwell.

She planted her staff in the ground next to him. "You would be wise to listen to my grim friend. He sometimes takes a dim view of people not paying attention. That can lead to unfortunate unpleasantness".
She whispers a few words and lightning crackled around her hand. Slowly she curled her fingers, letting the electricity play back and forth across them and curl seductively about her wrist.
"Whilst I lack my friends eloquence in describing the unpleasantries that might ensue from your continued recalcitrance, make no mistake, I'm as determined as he to achieve our ends and crossing me would be a mistake you may be lucky enough to regret".
Re: 12.1 Eastport - Theatre (Danyar, Bradon, Laura and Angis)
Did Intimidation Backfire? Nope.
The big man stares right back at @Angis Ironheart for a moment, unblinking, before a wide smile appears on his face."Ha!" he exclaims. "See here, boys, this one's got a pair on him! No need for that, big guy. Or for the sparks," he nods to @Lysennia Moonsinger. "Now, why don't you tell me plainly what it is you're about, and we can get on with it?"
His men visibly relax, but that is not to say that they are relaxed. Their hands still linger near their sword hilts; they just no longer are actively gripping them as if ready to draw.

"Angis seems to have this in hand", muses Lysennia and fades back a little to allow the focus to remain on the Dwarf. She does however keep a wary eye out for trouble. He'd had her back many times in the past. The least she could so would be to look out for him now while he was focused on the negotiations.
Re: 12.1 Eastport - Theatre (Danyar, Bradon, Laura and Angis)
Adran lets out a, “huh,” and gives you a sidelong look. “Shoulda led with that, friend. We’ve no interest in watching our city die, and if the Rangers can stop it with our willow bark, it’s yours.”Angis Ironheart wrote: ↑Fri Jan 18, 2019 3:48 am “‘Tis simple,” Angis said when the Mockery seemed willing to parley.

He holds up a finger, “on one condition. The powers that be publicly acknowledge that, in the city’s hour of need, the Mockeries came through.”
With that, he signals to his men, and they bring the willow bark over. He gives you all a nod, and turns his back, walking away, clearly considering the matter closed.

Sroxl joined the men lying in wait when approaching the Mockery. Smooth talking isn't one of his strong points, so the dregordian settles for gripping his kayakor tightly in anticipation of trouble.
Disappointed yet relieved that the dealings went off without a hitch, Sroxl joins Angis and Lysennia.
He teases Angis, "Too bad they didn't hold you to your threatss, Angiss. I wass hoping to ssee you demonsstrate your intriguing turtle sstance again! Hss hss hss. But, truly, excellent ressultss. I hope we can finissh this plague bussiness quickly and move onto more exciting affairss."
