HEIST UPDATE

[claudiometer]

Just when I thought we maybe wouldn't need it. [That part's in a muttered tone, so Claudia probably didn't mean to broadcast it.]

Wrinkle in the plan, guys, Beatrice moved the amulet. She made a really big deal about storing it under guard in the top of her tower, so my guess is it's anywhere but the tower. We don't have much time to work on this. Thoughts?

My first one, frankly, is 'tase the bejeezus out of her and loot her while she's unconscious,' but there's no guarantee that would turn up clues.

[...This would be more of a surprise if Mari hadn't made her way to the Sun Temple intent on learning to summon ghosts, really.]

Altair's right. De-infiltrating her would be smoother, if someone's available who can do it. Stabbing should be our absolute last resort.

[happyhalloween]

Okay. But if we do need to stab, I can do it! I'm really good at stabbing since Bando!

[claudiometer]

Believe me, I remember.

[happyhalloween]

I can also stab other people if we need it, but I dunno if they'll understand like Beato would.

[claudiometer]

...We do have non-lethal incapacitation options, Maria. I really don't think we'll need to stab anyone except maybe her.

[happyhalloween]

Oh. Okay. But I do want to help! I know how to be sneaky from Mari too! And I can Sing pretty much all the Songs! And I can do almost as many portal things as Uncle Matthew!

[claudiometer]

We might need portal things to get the amulets from wherever they are to where they need to be, and Song is a decent distraction tool for her hired muscle, isn't it?

I think there's some room for you to help, even if it's not stabbing people.

[happyhalloween]

Okay! Just let me know what to do!

[haveabiscuit]

Let's try to avoid stabbing. And fire.

[happyhalloween]

I wasn't gonna set anyone on fire! That's Uncle Matthew!

[runs]

Sometimes it's a good idea to set something nearby on fire to draw the attention over there.

...Not literally though, most of the time. [Unless a very literally minded troll is told to cause a distraction with the words 'set something on fire or such'.]

[happyhalloween]

I guess? [Kitty seems like she has more experience with that stuff.]

[haveabiscuit]

I'm mentioning fire on general principle. It's quite a few Travellers.

[happyhalloween]

I know, but I don't do fire magic. Uncle Matthew's the one with fire.

[haveabiscuit]

Alright. If he starts considering invoking that, I'll be sure to speak with him.

[happyhalloween]

Okay!

[None of her magic does fire. If anyone gets in trouble it won't be her.]
