Toa Levacius Zehvor Posted July 21, 2012 Author Share Posted July 21, 2012 [GameMaster]In Location: Traders Guild, Guildmasters OfficeNPCs ~ SarilliaSarillia was visibly showing that she was uncomfortable with anyone other than her being in that room, but was able to understand there was little choice in the matter. She hired an investigator, she needed to let him investigate. Or, rather, forced an investigator to do as she said. For her, it was the same thing."What was stolen? Mostly small trinkets of inverse worth, and a few experimental weapons. One was a prototype from Nynrah called a... zah-mor? Zeh-vor? I don't know, some sort of sphere launcher. Pretty much useless, since it can't shoot anything weighing more than hollow glass. A few other strange items like it, some of which actually worked. The only thing of the sort they didn't steal was my staff. Thankfully, they left the design schematics and Kanoka disks I bought from... you don't need to worry about that.""Honestly, it looked like they just stole anything small and valuable, or just interesting to look at - and valuable."Meanwhile, the crescent moon proved to be absolutely useless with identification. Unlike paint, which felt different than the actual wall as it was placed on top of it, this actually seemed as if it was the wall. It wasn't like graffiti, it was just... the wall. Like natural markings on a stone.OOC: Hopefully that explains to everyone why nobody uses Zamor Sphere Launchers.Also, if anybody can identify the name of the book series that inspired the whole 'leaving a mark behind' with the thief, that would be cool.

Wade. Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 IC: Alfon (Sakrinil)Though when Lesvera turned to face me, she found no trace of me whatsoever, looking around but to no avail. In response, my Volitak had already been activated, masking my presence with near perfect transparency and the muffling of every sound I made. Despite that all that remained was my shadow, spotting me would be extremely unlikely. Her slight bemusement made me laugh, though no one was aware of it.My scarf helped keep out the chemical odours but there was only so much it could do. It smelled pretty bad and I can only imagine what the others are experiencing. BZPRPG Profiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tafu Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 (edited) OOC: I might have heard of a book series like that in passing. Although to be honest, there are a lot of stories where a thief will leave behind a calling card or a mark. IC (Traders Guild HQ): Quorvex then pulled out a small metal needle and attempted to scratch some of the moon's 'material' off of the wall. When that failed, he grabbed a small hammer and chisel and prepared to knock a chink out of the wall. He wanted to see if the mark extended farther into the wall or only on the surface. Additionally, he wanted something to compare to the other marks that he suspected that he would be finding.As he raised his hammer he asked, "So are there any immediate suspects that I should know about?"IC (Sakrinil): Lesvera snorted, then turned back to the door and took a deep breath. She knocked on the door several times and waited. She was soon greeted by a worker, most likely a Matoran, who slide open a small metal window and asked, "Yeah?""Would Stalva be available?" Lesvera asked, "We would like to speak to her about a buisness proposition." Edited July 21, 2012 by Tafu Credits: Xanis"Don't Panic." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toa Levacius Zehvor Posted July 21, 2012 Author Share Posted July 21, 2012 (edited) OOC: It's not an uncommon thing. Though the book I'm thinking of has it as only a minor thing, with the actual thievery only being done in the second act of the first book. Everything else is exposition or killing things.[GameMaster]In Location: Traders Guild, Guildmasters OfficeNPCs ~ Sarillia"Not that I can think of - nobody should be able to do this other than a rogue Toa, though. And even then... it doesn't explain the use of so many abilities. I don't buy the myths and legends you natives pass around with each other, but some of the merchants are saying it's that ancient thief Midnight. But I don't need stories - I need facts."OOC: Oh, and the mark extends another inch into the wall.-Toa Levacius Zehvor Edited July 21, 2012 by Toa Levacius Zehvor "I disapprove of what you have to say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." - Evelyn Beatrice Hall (often attributed to Voltaire) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tafu Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 OOC: A thunderstorm moved in suddenly so I had to unplug my internet connection.IC (Traders Guild HQ): Quorvex eventually succeeded in removing a small piece of the wall, which he then placed in one of the pockets on his long-coat and took note of the depth of the mark. He then turned to face the room at large and started to look for any possible entrances to the room from the outside; access tunnels, air ducts, really large windows with pieces of wire sticking out of the locks.As he scanned the room the Matoran asked, "So what is this Midnight supposed to be capable of?" Quorvex didn't put much stock into myths and legends either, but he did believe in the individuals who liked to copy the characters in those stories in order to throw investigators off their trail. From what he had seen so far a Toa could have possible done it, but he had never heard of a mask that allowed its user to teleport. However, the strange mark could have been done by a Toa of stone...OOC: Just checked on Biosector01. I found out that only two Olmaks have ever been created. Unless you want to change that Lev.

Sarillia replied, throwing up her hands. "All I know is that they were supposedly a master thief who could never be caught.

Evex_Wolfwing Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 IC: Evex - Effrah - DocksAt Song's call, Evex leapt from the ship, dramatically, and landed next to her, not quite as gracefully. A few people turned there heads, one or two gripping their swords, expecting him to proceed to kill them all and eat their flesh. "What is it?" he asked, ignoring the stares. They were called Tenno. Warriors of blade and gun: masters of the Warframe armor. Those that survived the old war were left drifting among the ruins. Now they are needed once more. The Grineer, with their vast armies, are spreading throughout the solar system. A call echoes across the stars summoning the Tenno to an ancient place. They summon you. Allow the Lotus to guide you. She has rescued you from your cryostasis chamber and given you a chance to survive. The Grineer will find you; you must be prepared. The Lotus will teach you the ways of the Warframes and the secrets to unlocking their powers. Come Tenno, you must join the war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tafu Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 OOC: Hey, back off. You mentioned Toa and the only mask that I know of that can let them teleport is the Olmak, so what else am I supposed to look toward (as a player, not the character)?IC (Traders Guild HQ): Quorvex continued to look around the room for any possible means of entry. He also glanced at the strange devices and weapons, trying to see if they were connected by any common trait, such as size or apparent function."So what were you doing prior to this incident occuring?" he asked, "About what time was it when you discovered that the items had been stolen?"

Simulacrum Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 IC: Zenonia Zenonia stood in front of the Steltian, who was reading from a list which rooms need cleaning. Zenonia, dressed in a black dress (One that many people would not describe with the word 'modest') and an apron, looked as if she wished to rip someone's organs out, and then strangle the Steltian with them. She was so angry, in fact, that she didn't even bother to glare at any of the males who stared at her or wolf-whistled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tafu Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 IC (Traders Guild HQ): "What were you doing before you feel asleep?" Quorvex asked, "Were there any other employees in the building at the time? And I'll probably need a list of the other merchants that were robbed."None of the chests appeared to be tampered with and he couldn't see any feature that was common in all of the devices left. In all likelihood, the thief or thieves were limited by what they could carry and by what could be concealed easily. He needed more data, and he would start looking for it as soon as he was done questioning Sarillia. Credits: Xanis"Don't Panic." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wade. Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 IC: Alfon (Sakrinil)No matter how many times I've done it, sneaking around invisibly never gets old however I didn't waste my time fooling around with the workers, instead following Lesvera and Stalva into the back room without being noticed successfully. I positioned myself along the wall facing Stalva's back, my shadow blending in with those of the room. I listened in to the conversation, pleased that such a simple deal came easy, actually allowing us to keep fifty percent of the profits instead of none at all. Looks like I will be making some money. Kaladin will be happy to hear that.I don't really care about the credit so the Steltian getting it is fine by me. Don't need any more fame as it and if this'll get me a ship plus a sweet side of the deal, I'm not going to complain. Personally, affairs of the Guild don't interest me, nor do they really affect me.
