Arriving back at the Alchemy Shop, you find the place has more activity than what you have seen so far. Several wagons, loaded and ready for a trip are just about to leave the area. The last of the supplies loaded onto them, they are given the order to head out.
Upon seeing you, Kresk motions for you to check in with him. When he learns you have the ingredients you were sent out for, he just grunts, and sends the alchemy shop workers in to see Sophie. As for the guards, he orders you to take up the posts that are being vacated by those assigned to the caravan.

Hearing the direction to see 'Sophie', Zarsellet stays with the group. Once they find Sophie he smiles and speaks. "We found all of the ingredients. A couple of them were, interesting." He motions to Burton.
OOC: Trying to be "charming"? Diplomacy 17....

Burton places the ingredients they had gathered and what is left of the gold where Sophie can see them.

Rhys takes one of the guard posts vacated by the previous watch. He tries to select one where he can get a better view of what goes on in the rest of the facility. (Perception 15)
Paige Potter (Carla) AC 19, HP 45/45 CMD 13 d20+7=17 ; Wednesday November 6th, 2024 6:09:42 PM
Paige takes a vacant spot and watches the comings and goings of any individuals that pass by her place to see if she recognizes anyone. (Perception = 17)
Lothlo (WillD) -- AC: 20/15/16, HP: 27/51, CMD: 21 (Bless, Inspire Courage) Wednesday November 6th, 2024 8:14:18 PM
Lothlo returns with the alchemy workers to where Sophie is waiting for them. ooc: Lothlo was with the stone cutters so I'm not sure if that's where you wanted me to go, but it made more sense than going with the guards.
Naithi (JamesD) AC: reduced to (19/13/17) HP: 55/46, CMD: 19 | Camalayaas AC: 22/14/18, CMD: 18 Wednesday November 6th, 2024 8:32:55 PM
Naithi takes her place while racking her brain for a way to determine where the caravan is going. She decides that casting any spells might be too noticable. Instead she makes a mental note of any animals (horses) making the trip so that she can question them later with her speak to animal spell. She then whispers do Camalayaas to remember their scents and to see if she can scent who or what is being transported and if it contains the scent of ingredients they just bought.
Kwarsk (Wayne) AC 30/T 18/FF 23, HP 62/62, CMD 22/26 vs. Bull Rush & Trip, Ki 5/5. Wednesday November 6th, 2024 9:04:47 PM
Kwarsk takes up a post without further ado.

Fingers goes with the Sophie group. (He's a porter, not a guard.)

Once they decide what to do with the ingredients Zarsellet gets busy with his usual work.
Paige Potter (Carla) AC 19, HP 45/45 CMD 13 d20+7=19 ; Thursday November 7th, 2024 5:57:52 PM
Paige tries to be patient. Guard work isn’t her forte. She looks at the folks that pass her by, remembering the description of Duncan - and looks for someone matching his description. (Perception == 19)
Lothlo (WillD) -- AC: 20/15/16, HP: 27/51, CMD: 21 (Bless, Inspire Courage) Thursday November 7th, 2024 6:21:09 PM
Lothlo waits for Sophie to review the good the brought and see whether she has additional tasks for him this morning.

Kwarsk begins meticulously looking over all within his sight, doing guard stuff.

Fingers does as he's instructed. He also watches everything (Perception: 23, Craft (Alchemy): 13)

Burton quietly waits for instructions on what is required next.

Sophie is pleased that you have managed to acquire everything. Hmm, I guess I didn't need to send Cosmo out after all. Job well done, you may keep the extra gold. She returns to her work, and dismisses all of you, while whistling a tune and cleaning up from the previous batch.
For those guarding outside, things seem quiet for a short time, and then something seems to change, a feeling of energy in the air, almost like static electricity.....
Rhys (Bob W) AC 22/26 vs AoO; CMD 23/25 vs Disarm or Sunder; HP 44/44 Friday November 8th, 2024 8:05:41 AM
Rhys takes heed and steps back into a protected doorway
Kwarsk (Wayne) AC 30/T 18/FF 23, HP 62/62, CMD 22/26 vs. Bull Rush & Trip, Ki 5/5. d20+14=25 ; Friday November 8th, 2024 9:29:17 AM
Kwarsk's trained instincts are on edge. He reflexively adopts a battle stance, looking around for, even sniffing... danger?
(OOC - Perception = 25)
Paige Potter (Carla) AC 19, HP 45/45 CMD 13 Friday November 8th, 2024 10:07:28 AM
Paige continues her vigil, and wonders how those delivering the goods were received by their Pyramid Industries supervisors. She wonders what their ‘employers’ are really up to and ponders whether the business is good, bad, or both? She focuses her attention on the nearest stationary individual who isn’t a party member.

Zarsellet wonders about the lack of concern over the remaining gold. Was that a bonus for completing a job? It had taken time, but it wasn't all that hard....
He focuses on his work for the day, hoping for a good night of sleep tonight.

Fingers assumes it won't be long before he's called to tote something heavy; for now he'll rest where any other idle workers are, maybe strike up some small talk.
James posting for William / Lothlo Saturday November 9th, 2024 3:54:06 PM
Lothlo returns to work, unsure what to do, and trying his best not to be suspicious.
ooc: William is going to try posting more later
Naithi (JamesD) AC: reduced to (19/13/17) HP: 55/46, CMD: 19 | Camalayaas AC: 22/14/18, CMD: 18 d20+11=30 ; d12=10 ; d20+10=16 ; Saturday November 9th, 2024 4:04:11 PM
As Sophie expresses her satisfaction with the acquired goods, Naithi allows herself a small sigh of relief. The mission had gone smoothly so far, but she couldn't shake the lingering sense of unease that had settled in her gut.
Dismounting from Shadow, Naithi approaches the other Patchers, her voice low and urgent. "Something's not right here. That feeling in the air...it's unnatural. We need to stay alert and be ready for anything."
As they settle into their new posts, Naithi's senses remain heightened, her body coiled and ready for action. The static electricity in the air seems to grow stronger with each passing moment, setting her nerves on edge.
Naithi's eyes narrow as she studies the other guards and leaving shipment, searching for any sign of deception. The static electricity in the air seems to intensify, crackling against her skin. Something was definitely amiss, and she was determined to uncover the truth, no matter the cost.
Perception = 30 Knowledge Nature = 16 ooc: Did Camalayaas notice anything last round using scent?

Burton returns to his work supporting the alchemists and does any tasks given to him to the best of his ability. At any time he is not busy he will observe what the alchemists are up to.
Craft (alchemy) + 20 (He also has the Brew Potion feat) Knowledge (arcana) + 28 Spellcraft + 20
Sometime later there seems to be something amiss in the courtyard area.
Lothlo (WillD) -- AC: 20/15/16, HP: 27/51, CMD: 21 (Bless, Inspire Courage) Saturday November 9th, 2024 6:47:59 PM
Lothlo picks up his stone working tools and returns to the roll he was assigned the day before. He looks around to make sure nothing seems different and that the guard presence hasn't increase, anything that would indicate a suspicion of the group.
