New Del Rio
The sun was high overhead when @Peta Chante spotted the walled city. The sun was reflecting off the wall making it hard to get a count of the guards but the wall was patrolled. He could see one large gate on this side and traffic was lining up to enter the city. A half dozen guards were checking the travelers as they entered.
From his vantage in the air @Watcher could see that the city was bustling inside the wall. People and d-bees were swarming everywhere in the city.
How are you approaching the city? Are you going armed for war? Is everyone going in?

New Del Rio
Round 0
Vikon sat up as they approached New Del Rio. He had never been to a city before. New Alamo wasn’t that big of a settlement. Until Castle Refuge, it had been the biggest he’d known. The young man looked at the walls and the line of vehicles backed up at the gate to get inside.
“It’s so big!” the young man gaped.

Trowel honked at the guards (Two quick beeps as was customary at the burb check points) and drove the stolen vehicle in on as much of an unthreatening vector as possible. He did not know what their deal was. Looking is over like we were a sack of Mrs McDonald’s Potatoes. But he knew what guards of their ilk did to his kind back in the burbs. He mumbled a bit nervous, “Taking is in nice and easy... Hold it together... Hold it.”
Re: New Del Rio
After his fly over, Watcher returns to the party and lets them consider what is ahead. "How should we approach the city only a couple miles ahead? Should we not let them see our power so they fear us and do not risk angering us?"
The Sphinx' opinion on the matter being obvious as he lands and prepares himself with some cleaning and preening before moving on towards them town.

Orius looked to the city and frowned, it looked like a dump next to the glory of dweomer.
“Watcher, I am going to stay here and work on Bastion. I’ll watch over the camp if we are not taking the mountaineer into the city.”

Re: New Del Rio
Cities were an uncomfortable place for a Psi-Stalker, but new Del Rio was just enough of a wild west show for Peta to be somewhat comfortable. Joining up with the rest of the group he whispers to Niakit to disappear but stay close. Having a giant wolf leap from the great beyond was a handy backup plan. Long arms weren't generally allowed inside walled cities, but that didn't matter much as the albino vampire hunter was bristling with pistols of various make and tech level. Sniffing the air he frowns, "This place stinks, Let's do our business and get the hell out of here."

Re: New Del Rio
The commotion and sudden crosstalk awakened Vela from one of her naps, and she sat up in the mountaineer and stretched herself one limb at a time as she blinked and halfheartedly listened to what people were saying. Then she pushed up to the pair of seats in the front to get a glimpse through the vehicle's windscreen forward.
It took a second to orient herself, but the conclusion was inescapable. Vela remembered her last time through this place.
"New Del Rio," the werejaguar said. She yawned then and added, "It is the last...city we will find on the way. It is...ah...dirty, and there are many fighting. Also, vampires come often here to feed. Sometimes the stupid ones will walk in the open. Bring what you need to kill them."

New Del Rio
4 April 110PA
Late afternoon
As they approached the gate, the guard waived for them to slow down and then stop in front of him. He glanced over the occupants and the cargo and then said "the new marshal is bringin' order to the town. No fightin', no killin', and no burnin' the town down. Keep ya nose clean and ya can stay. Start trouble and ya go on the bar." He nodded his head to a silver bar with holes in it that was suspended about 10 feet above the ground. Luckily there was no one in it now.
@Watcher had been told to meet the contact in the central market at noon. The contact would be in the market each day at noon and stay for about 1 hour. He was also giving a description of the contact. It was too late today to try and make contact. They would need to wait till tomorrow.
The town was dirty as @Vela had said. As they drove through the town some sections were clean and taken care of, but most weren't. And some were down right squalor. Did they stay for the protection of the walls? Did the walls protect them? Vela said the vamps came here to feed. Did the guards not stop them?
You have about 20 hours to kill before you can make contact. What are you doing to kill the time? Are you staying in town and finding a room? Are you sleeping out in wild?

Re: New Del Rio
Watcher slows down a little to listen to the guard share his version of how thing will be in town. Nodding to the guard he asks. "Should we need lodgings for a couple nights, where should we go?"
Once they have the information Watcher moves through the streets to the place indicated then looking to the rest of the team asks, "Should one of you reserve us a residence?" Knowing he was to large to casually move around anyplace here not designed for the so called Pogtal Dragon Slayers that have been known to roam this far north on occasion.
An evening of dance would be amazing, and listening to the stories of those who live here in this land he had not previously seen would be supreme. So as time allows Watcher listens to and encourages as many stories as possible from the locals.

“We are not here for trouble, sir guardian,” Vikon tells the guard checking them as they pass through the gate. “Thank you for your service.”
Vikon was sad to see the garbage and refuse in the streets. He could sense the river nearby, outside the walls, and how sickly it was. He felt cut off from nature here, though he still felt his powers.
“A good place to rest for the night would be wise,” Vikon agreed with Watcher. He looked to Vela, who had been through the city before. “Sister Ashlynn mentioned she had befriended a pegasus here before, and that it got her on the bad side of the city’s ruler. Do you recommend a place to stay? Where did you stay before?”

Re: New Del Rio
Staying in the city would be unpleasant but not unbearable. At least it was somewhat safe, although people could be as bad as monsters sometimes. While waiting for the others to small talk and find lodgings, Peta makes a mental note to look up a few people in town. There were some gangs here who might know more about vampires roaming the streets. If they were going to stay the night he might as well get some sport out of it.
Piping up after the others have finished he inquires about vampires, "Is there a bounty on blood suckers in this town?"

Trowel stopped the vehicle and grabbed his gear desperate to leave the uncomfortable confines. Quickly he said, “I’ll find us a place to stay that has a nice room for you Watcher! Vik common keep me alive and all that.”
He did not really need adult supervision but Vik knew some tales of actual legends, and Trowel was all ears for that. “Tell me some more about this Pegasus.”
He scampered into the city hopefully with the rugged elementalist looking for a top notch inn that would be friendly to a Sphinx.

“Um, sure,” Vikon said. He didn’t know if he was the best for navigating the city, but Trowell seemed to know what he was doing, and he could keep an eye on the kid if any trouble happened.
“Well, as I heard tell, the son of the city leader had a special harness that turned the pegasus into a regular horse. Sister Ashlynn removed it and gave it its wings back,” he explained to Trowell.

As the two begin to split off on their own Watcher halts them for an important question. "Do you think it is better to stay in larger groups and maintain contact with one another in case of trouble?"
Then looking around to the others he adds. "Who is willing to join them to form a group of three?" Once the group of three is formed Watcher relaxes a little as they head off knowing that they will be more likely to have one of them escape if ambushed or if their mission fails.

Re: New Del Rio
Trowel’s enthusiasm at Vik’s sordid retelling of the Pegas’ tale was almost sidelined by Watcher’s apt if not boring question. Heck yeah Pegas’ and a harness man! This guy has the details down... Ugggg another adult...?
Vik it appeared was the least like an adult of the bunch and it would just break Trowel if a third wheel was added unless it was bat coming with. There were things you could do with a bat humansized or otherwise that would grease the wheels in a town like this.
Trowel pipped up quickly, “Eliza... Totally should come with us.”
Back to Vik, he continued to pry for details about the legendary Hero Ashlyn, “What kind of harness are we talking about?”

Watcher suggested a third person accompany them. Vikon figured it might be a good idea. Trowell volunteered Eliza.before returning to questioning him.
“Ehm, it was a riding bridle, I believe,” Vikon answered Trowell’s question. “I think she destroyed it, so it could not be used to enslave another.” He paused. “Or she put it on that no good son of a bitch and turned him into a horse for a while. It would have served him right.”

Re: New Del Rio
Hungry and bored, Peta Chate takes to the streets of New Del Rio looking for a lead on some supper - served with a side dish of vengeance. He looks in all the usual haunts trying to get information on vampires, and is suprised it's harder than the thought. Then again, humans are always oblivious to the dangerous around them. Probably a survival skill, if they coul sense and smell the evil around them every day like Peta could they would probably go insane.
Not above spreading some cash around to find the best meals, Peta dangles a few credits for information at the local MerOps outpost.
Growling when he hooks back up with the group he lays the situation on them, 'I believe this town is subject to a vampire infestation. Maybe even among their elders and leaders. I wish to put a dent in their ranks tonight, if only to feed. But, we should pass this information back to the legion so they can send in exterminators." He smiles widely, "Unless we want to take the time to do it ourselves."

Vikon and Trowell walked through town, and the tall, muscular young man proved popular with the local ladies. He was often blushing, though; clearly he was not in the mold of Jude Maverick. They pointed out an inn just off the main market, but quietly informed him it was overpriced, and if he wanted a good place, he should detour to this out of the way little lane.
Vikon and Trowell went to check out the other place, and found it tended to by a little old lady. She took an immediate shine to Trowell, pinching the boy’s cheeks and offering him fresh from the oven chocolate chip cookies, with fresh apple pie out of the oven soon to come. Vikon glanced around, and noted a state of the art security system. This place would be good to stay, and it was cheaper than the main inn.
Vikon radioed in his address to the rest of the team to join them.

Bored from having nothing to do as they stroll around town, Watcher is excited and can feel his heart rate change at the mention of Vampires. "Perhaps, you would enjoy some company as you hunt your prey?" He offers up as he decides to join @Peta Chante.
"Have you hunted with a Sphinx before Peta?" He asks as he prepares to help with the hunting. Watcher hated to admit that he was not as skilled at hunting as the Psi-stalker, instead deciding to offer to help in their pursuit of the prey. As the go, he kept his eyes alert and aware for signs that he could point out to the predator. "Did, you notice the dark aura on those men. Perhaps they could be food for your prey, or somehow work with them?" He asks.

She has also placed coffee, orange juice, milk, and water on the table.
As they eat they discuss their plans. They know they are to meet their contact at noon in the market. How are they going to handle the meet? Does anyone know the lay out of the market? Are there any threats?

The group hears the stairs creak, then realize it was not the stairs but Peta's weary bones coming down the step. Satiated by stiff the stalker eschews most of the food but relishes the coffee and a heaping plate of meat. As they discuss their plans he mainly grunts and chews. Eventually he speaks up, "I made some connections with some locals yesterday. Maybe even earned a little street cred. I can ask around about the market and anything we need to watch out for."

Vikon settled down at breakfast with the others, grateful for the coffee and the large spread. He was a growing boy! He made himself a breakfast sandwich with the toast, eggs, and bacon, throwing on the green chilies and plenty of hot sauce.
“I can go and scout out the market before the meet,” Vikon offered, wiping hot sauce from his chin. “Where in the market are we meeting? Or is our contact going to be wearing something to mark him and we have to find him?” Vikon wasn’t used to cities. There were too many people. He wondered how they would find their contact in the crowds.

Watcher hates assuming this smaller form, but the incompetent humans who built the city failed to realize something a wonderous as he would be there. As he joins the others for breakfast he looks around greeting those who arrived and listening as conversation begins. The food was delicious, Watcher had rarely eaten so much human food as he was sustained off of his own amazing power. But enjoying cuisine not and then was not unheard of and this was a remarkable meal. Watching the psi-stalker eat the meal, he nods. That does sound like an excellent idea, he had little to add to it himself. "Does anyone have anything to add to @Peta Chante's excellent idea? Who will lead the effort?" Assuming Peta would, Watcher waited for others to offer help.
and notices Trowel did not join them. "Did any of you notice the human child was missing? Was he eaten, or did he explain anything to anyone, or must we find him?"

Vikon scanned the market crowd. He spotted several people that stood out. They didn’t appear to be shopping, but to be watching for...something.
So Vikon started talking to people, chatting up the shopkeepers and stall managers, cornering pickpockets. He found out that the Coalition was already in town, and was looking for their contact, with snipers providing cover. They might even have a powerful mage and maybe a dragon with them, though none of that sounded like the Coalition.

Vikon answered Watcher, “Getting some rumors that the Coalition are in town looking for our contact,” he informed the sphinx. “That might be who those guys are. If so, they’ve got sniper support, so maybe check rooftops. Oddly, I’ve got rumors they might have a powerful mage or dragon with them, which would be odd for the Coalition. Not sure what to make of that. Keep your eyes peeled.”
Unfortunately, Vikon wasn’t sure how much of that got through, because his radio squelched and squealed and just in general didn’t want to work right.

Having spent the previous evening skulking through the streets and alley ways of New Del Rio, Peta already knew a few people he could lean on for information. While he normally was on the lookout for vampires the Coalition was not far off in terms of malignancy. But at least they generally pointed their weapons in the right direction when it came to vamps and demons. Not wanting to waste any time he strolls through the market until he spots a pick pocket, following the young d-bee into an alley way the Psi-Stalker grabs him by the scruff of his neck and holds him up against a wall.
"Don't need you to give that back, but I need you to tell me what's new out there today. If you don't well," Peta flashes the vibro-knife in his belt sheath. "Where I come from we cut off people's hand for stealing."
Intimidation 1d6!! / 1d6!!: [3]+[3] = 6
Benny 1d6!! / 1d6!!: [8!!]+[7!!] = 15
The thief sputters and points to the various rooftops. Looking up Peta sees snipers watching the market. His smile widens. There will be hunting today then.
He drops the boy unceremoniously in the dirt.
"Keep your hands today. Tell me how I can get up t those rooftops unseen and I'll give you more credits then you can steal in a week in New Del Rio."

7th April 110 PA

As @Watcher was turned his attention away from the strange men on the roof tops and back the market he spotted someone that he thought was the contact. The person was wearing the red flower on their lapel just like he had been told they would be. As he started to approach all hell broke loose in the market. Their was a crack of a rifle shot then Watcher could feel a great deal of power being gathered and suddenly one of the roof tops was bathed in purple fire.
Initiative
I will roll 1d56 for each of your initiative cards. I do not reroll duplicates, instead there are 2 extra Joker positions. Ties can be broken by an athletics roll.
Tacitcal Combat
Each round will be broken into 5 groups
* Party before the first NPCs
* First set of NPCs
* Party after the first NPCs

* Any remaining party members
I will advance the round every few days to they next group. You can post at anytime your group is up. If you do not post at your time you are on hold and can post any time you want. If you are on hold and do not have a joker you will need an athletics roll to higher to interrupt the NPCs.
Once I have called all groups I will advance to the next round and deal new cards.
You can spend a benny to buy a new card anytime before the First NPCs goes.

The young thief sputters then quickly tells @Peta Chante how to get on to the roof next to the closest sniper. He then tells him the gap is only 6 feet across he should make it. The last part was said with a wry smile.Peta Chante wrote: ↑Thu Mar 18, 2021 6:00 pm "Keep your hands today.

Re: New Del Rio
The kid was up to something, but it didn't really matter to Peta. Instead the Psi-Stalker signalled to something or someone unseen.
Niakit, the Phantom wolf, stalks invisibly up toward the roof. Ready to pounce on his master's command. For his part Peta stays where he is and stares up at the sniper with a hard look. Then starts to scale the wall toward the shooter forcing him to lean over the edge to get an angle on the Psi-Stalker. As he bends over, Niakit pounces from the immaterial plane into reality
Peta: Test with Athletics climbing (Vulnerable if successful)
Athletics 1d8!! / 1d6!!: [12!!]+[8!!] = 20
Niakit: close and pounce (Stealth/Fighting). May be multi action if becoming tangible is an action.
Stealth 1d8!! 1d6!!: [3]+[5] = 8
Fighting 1d8!! 1d6!!: [4]+[5] = 9

Vikon spotted their contact with the red flower just as all the chaos broke out.
“I got the contact!” Vikon called to the others over his comms. He raced toward flower man and extended his hand, calling on the force of the elements.
Humidity from the air began to condense, forming a thick fog that settled around Vikon and the contact, providing thick armor around them.
“We need to get you to cover!” Vikon told the contact as he grabbed the man’s arm to drag him to safety.

Re: New Del Rio
Feeling the power wash over him, Watcher lift his left eye brow to the side as he locks eyes with the elf. "Would you place your power against mine mortal?" He knew the arrogance of elves and they always felt insulted when you pointed out their pathetic 600 year life span compared to true creatures of magic was like the life of a dog. Then concentrating he pulled into himself his mind and accelerated his perception of time, wrapping himself in darkness.
Then leaping forward and landing near the elf he let out a great roar, knocking everyone back with the force of his presence, and breaking the elves concentration.
Re: New Del Rio
Vela put her hand just under the neckline of her blouse, over the golden disc of her amulet, invoking its power. Then she leapt into a run, vanishing behind a building. Once she felt the enemy could not easily see her, she transformed into her 'true' form, a humanoid jaguar-person. With claws that easily dug into the stucco of New Del Rio construction, she scaled up towards the nearest sniper, intending to ambush the ambushers...
