Nameless (spots still available)

[Spook]

A faint wisp of a smile appeared on Vyna's face as she spoke in her odd not-quite musical tone, "Just this, sir." She reached into one of her many pockets and produced a small brass sphere. When she placed it on the table it whirred quietly and spun out into a spider-like device with for spindly, tapered legs and a small series of slots in its back. The petite young woman produced 4 similarly slotted cards and placed them in the cavities one by one, then flicked a tiny lever on the device's bottom. The machine clicked twice than maneuvered about the table with a fair degree of speed before settling down into idleness, the directives coded on the cards having expired.

(Sorry. *shrugs* I guess I'm still in the notion that with 22 charisma I could charm my way into the Presidents pants if I wanted her to. *had Rahn sleep her way through a whole campaign once* You always have the notion of him grabbing her and just using her or just outright saying ;f*ck off". I suppose I also assumed that as a Gang member they would have a symbol. as Gangs do. Or a certain color. Forgive me.  )
Rahn smiles in a pleasant way and follows the man and thanks her lucky stars she got it right. The beautiful lady of the night looked the man she was following up and down before smirking, wondering if she could get a little snack in before the main course.

~No Rahn, Mother always said it was rude to eat between meals. I have a feeling this Gang leader will be more then enough.~

Lilith curses and calls her fire to her fingertips again throwing fireballs at the soldiers to blind them while throwing a ring of fire around her companion and herself.

"Can you fight, or can you run? If you can run I will set up a barrage to dazzle them so we can escape." She turned and blasted a soldier in the face with a spume of white flames. That would teach him.

"Hm-mm, that appears to be a well built automaton, although I find your use of external command cards to be interesting. I normally find myself using a large number of internal cards programmed to allow for added commands later on. Of course, both sides have their warrants; for example, yours allow the automaton to be lightweight, but mine allows for more complicated instructions."

((It's fine, just refrain from doing something similar in the future.))
After about an hour of walking, you find yourself at another building, this one obviously much larger than the last. Upon entering, this feeling is intensified by the flurry of activity and various stairwells and hallways leading to different sections of the base.
"This is about as far as I can take you. Your best bet to find him would be to ask some of the higher ranked members."

((Just a quick note; Overusing magic CAN kill you, so you may wish to use a weapon from time to time))
The soldier falls backwards, clawing at his burned face and writhing in pain, but not quite dead. Godrick turns to you, his face showing his obvious pain. His skin is now alarmingly pale, and his eyes appear dimmed. "I . . . I can keep fighting. Just try-agh-not to get yourself killed."
Immediately after saying this, he killed the burned soldier, prompting the other two to charge you and him.

[Madd Hatter]

Lilith narrowed her eyes and frowned, not liking how he looked. She sighed and started fighting as well, using the blade she'd made while keeping an eye on her companion.
----

Rahn smiled and went in, looking around curiously to find a higher up gang member to find the big bossman.

[Spook]

Vyna smiled at Syvox. "So, you can help me improve, then? What do I need to do?"

You manage to get in a hit, knocking him off balance. Before he can get back up, you mange to get a slash at his exposed neck, granting you a now headless soldier.
Meanwhile, Godrick had jumped into the fray as well. He manges to cut down the remaining soldier, but, likely due to his current state, he gets hit again, this time a vertical slash at the right soldier. He manages to flash you a weak smile before collapsing, a pool of blood beginning to form under him. After a moment of examination, you see that he is alive, but unconscious.
((combat can be quite punishing. Always make sure to way your decisions carefully. Though, of course, you didn't get hurt; you could just leave him to die))

After looking around for several moments, you notice several figures who appear to be a higher rank than the rest.
The first you notice is a man wearing various robes and followed by several underlings. He is bedecked with various charms and such, indicating that he may be a summoner, but his face is hidden by his cloak. His robe itself is a deep blue, and is obviously made from an expensive material.
Next, you notice a buffed man barking out orders to a a group of mercenaries. He may be their leader, but he seems unfamiliar and somewhat uncomfortable.
Finally, you see a young woman flocked by young men. She also has an air of command about her, and is obviously in her element. Occasionally a messenger or page will come her way.

He gives you a slight smile,"That all depends on you; what type of machination would you like to study first? You could learn about  automatons, mechanized weapons, possibly the little we know about ballistic weapons, and so forth. So, where would you like to start?"

[Madd Hatter]

Rahn smirks and goes over to buff man, know he wasn't the leader but he was also of weaker mind and would fall to her charms most easily. She sidles up to him and smiles brilliantly.

"Hello...someone called me to service a Marus? But you see...I'm lost. Could you help me find him, or my mistress will be so very mad at me."
---

Lilith gives a scream of rage and lets loose a shockwave of flames to knock back the soldiers and went to go get Godrik up so she could get him to safty.

[Spook]

Vyna stared greedily at the automatons behind him, giving the old inventor the only answer he was going to get.

"You want to see Marcus? I don't know, he's currently in a meeting with one of victor's men. Neither are the kind of people you want to interrupt." He pauses for several moments, his hesitance obvious,"I guess I can take you there, but you'll have to wait outside of the room until they're done."

((You had already killed them))

"Ah, the automatons. They can be difficult to make, but are so rewarding. Fyvaer almost exclusively the model of humanoid automatons I produce." He begins walking further into the house, until you come to a room filled with various gadgets and tools. Along the walls are rows of unfinished inventions. In the middle of the room is a small forge for shaping parts.
"Welcome to my workshop!"

[Madd Hatter]

Rahn smiles and gives a gleeful giggle before hugging him, pressing her ample bosom against him to make him more uncomfortable.

"Oh thank you! If I get in trouble again my Mistress said she'd sell me so someone awful!" 
-----
Lilith hisses and starts pulling the man to a near by house to get him fixed up.

"Help! Please help, he injured! Get a healer!" She put her hands on the worst of the wound and pressed down, keeping pressure on it to keep the blood inside. as she'd done for herself on many occasions after slicking open on a blade she'd made.

[CuCuKM]

"Ah. Well. I shall be off. I'll be back with your man soon enough, sooner even if things go as planned."

Plans, such crockery, he never planned very far ahead, svae the goal in general.

He wasn't sure if courtesy was called for here, the setting seemed a rather... unfriendly one as it was. Dax stretched out a bit, waited for any sign he was to say farewell or the like, and soon realizing the rather unwelcoming feel of the atmosphere, he was quick to seek his way back out of the cave.

It wasn't that he was afraid of the summoner or anything, he just prefered not to piss off his clients until after he got paid at least.

Seemed it was time to be off to Goree again. This ought be fun, searching for one man in a relatively unknown location.

First things first, finding transportation to the damned place. Not too hard, but the last time he own transportation, he wound up having it completely destroyed after having used it as a diversion to keep one of his former rivals off his tail(it was successful, as it wound up killing the woman much to his odd fortune). That being said, he was reluctant purchasing a new form.

Still, he needed a quick ride so he found himself heading off to his foremost contact for them. (Any idea what Dax's inventory might be beyond that amulet of summoning? Including currency on hand? Or am I to go there in a different way?)

"I-I'm just glad I can help. Come on, follow me."
He leads you through one of the hallways, passing several rooms before stopping. Through the door, two men can be heard, one obviously  much older than the other. You can't completely make out what they are saying, but the hallway is fairly empty . . .
"Just wait hear until they finish."

Your cries don't go completely unheard, as two people exit the house, a man and a woman. They both appear afraid, but attempt to help you anyways, using small amounts of fire to close his wounds.
"This is all we can do, sorry. It should stop the bleeding, but you need to find him a real healer."

[Madd Hatter]

Rahn smiles and gives the man a peck on the cheek before settling down near the door, listening in and waiting. She suppressed a smirk and started to plan how to get into the man's good graces.
----
Lilith hisses and hauls him up onto her shoulder. With a growl she starts hauling him towards the Head Priestess's home. The best healers were there and if anyone could help him it would be them.

"if you die on me I'll burn your soul strait to hell then call it back only to punch you in the face!"

[Spook]

Vyna stared in awe at all the apparatuses, workbenches, and tools. "It's a paradise."

As you press your ear against the door, you can more clearly hear the voices, the younger showing hints of anger.
"I keep telling him, that freak impling should be killed already, or at least banished! He is a monster, and should be treated as such!"
"Marcus, he isn't a monster, he's partially human! It isn't his fault his mother wasn't trained well enough to properly summon that imp!"
"Partially human or not, I'm not going to stand by and let that abmominatio kill any more of my men!"
"He claims he was attacked. Your men were-"
"They were trained better than to think they could kill him! A creature with the fighting abilities of an imp and the intelligence of a human! He can even summon weaker spirits and fiends due to his summoner heritage, they would have known he could tear them apart!"
"But Marcus, Movar swears that he was attacked, and he hasn't shown violent behavior before!"
"Out of the seven men he fought, only a single one survived!
I am done speaking to you, tell your master what I said and be gone."
After hearing this, a wrinkled man walks out the door, almost tripping on you. After muttering a quick apology, he leaves. As you walk into the room, Marcus shows no signs of his previous anger.

As you begin walking, night begins to descend upon Goree, evoking the faint howling of wolves in the distance. Occasionally, Godrick seems to wake, muttering incoherent phrases and words, obviously fervered and in pain. Eventually, you reach the palace/church from which Elzara rules, a wide stone building towering over the sourounding homes, but larggely destoyed on it's eastern half.
At the entrance, several gaurds stand, all alert and with some sort of weapon. One looks sadly at Godrick, yet still bats her way.
"Please, state your name and business with high priestess Elzara."

"Yes, one could say so. Very few paradises are left unravaged by the wrath of war.
So, it seems that it's about time to begin teaching you, my apprentice. I believe we should start with the making of a basic automaton. Perhaps you could create one capable of, say, monitoring a small area for rats, then get them to leave that area somehow."
