A pleading look to Hirim

*August* So. One redcap that we know of, the rest are mortals. *He glances at Tanner.*

"How many men in total in there? They'll likely be either johns or muscle."

"Just the one? I can take him, I'm sure."

"No... he's quiet..."

"Can we try something sneaky that doesn't involve blowing crap up, setting it on fire, getting into a fight with a guy with a gun, or otherwise giving ourselves away? I can't believe -I'm- the one saying that." (Rasping irritably)

(To Tanner)

"I can go. Of all of us, I can go."

"Hmmm. I think... maybe it would be best to use stealth ands surprise to our advantage."

"So, nobody likes my idea, huh?"

(He shrugs)

"I do. And I am saying - I stand the best chance of getting in and out."

"Unseen, yeah."

NO. *Hirim and August speak simultaneously to Zara, then stare at each other in surprise.*

"I like the idea fine, but I think we should two prong it. " He looks to them, "What i think we should do... ICE, I, and maybe one other guy go in through the front door as 'customers...' meanwhile Hirim opens a portal in the backwall of the first floor, and Zara slips in with the jacket ...while we're talking up front. If zara wants the sword AND the jacket, she gets it. One they don't knwo about, two or three they do maybe. "

No. *Says Hirim while August inspects his scabbard.*

"Look, Miriam had cantrips, right? Anybody wondering, why with all the Kithain in there, nobody's using them against a bunch of mortals?"

"...Iron."

(He scowls) "So we need to MAYBE think about how to do this without cantrips, nu? Backup plan?"

"But we don't know for sure."

August squares his shoulders. We go in. We find her, we find others who need their freedom, and we free them.

(He waves off the sidhe, watching the others) "Anybody with a REAL idea?"

Hirim Feh. For all you don't know for sure, you talk it to death. Wait here, I'll be right back.

"Ghost has lockpicks."

IHe tightens up his waistline and starts forward.*

"Can I bite him again?"

"Annnd there he goes... I -had- an idea.... shot to hell. No, ICE, though I get it better now." He follows Hirim

"Is there any way to tell if the humans are Enchanted? A chimerical sword won't avail me anything against those who... well... wouldn't know it was there."

"So, what are we doing ? "he asks Hirim.

"I'll wait here, and listen to you die." (Leans, and shrugs) "Let the old man ruin it all."

"I quit."

*He limps across the road, muttering to the troll as he goes*

Sighs and listens

(Flicks eyes to Tanner) "So, what are your plans later?"

"Well... I'm going to have to come up with a good story to tell my Lord about how I lost three horses..."

"Huh. Need help with that?"

"Somebody stop the old man before he leaves us no choice."

"He hijacked the thing. Let him die."

Earl begins to text, even as he whispers to ICE

"Nothing we can do AFTER he screws it up, either. They'll be on their guard."

(Ice stayed behind)

"He's been more of a hindrance than a help in this..."

"You think?" (A snort)

(He looks down at his phone as it buzzes. Texts back)

Whispers to HIrim

And is with the old guy, texting.

*The two cross the street, Hirim muttering all the way, and up to the door. Hirim hammers on it with his stick, and they are admitted after a moment of inspection*

(He shrugs, and watches) "They let him in. Surprised. Guy screams narc to me."

(He pockets his phone)
