Re: Reign of Immortals RP
"Your creator must be quite the learned man" Minjae remarked, unable to stop himself from admiring the creators masterpiece "Which means that Fukuma holding your creator captive is deeply troubling. If he is indeed as capable as you make him sound, I think I know where the creator is being held: in the Seoul Palace."
Minjae walked over to the window, featuring a view of Seoul below with prime view on the harbor. But Minjae pointed to a hill in the distance with an impressive looking palace (the Seoul Palace) + garden, surrounded by a thick stone wall. It would be a difficult fortress to get in and out off, but chances were high the creator would be held there. Minjae stood at the window pondering how best to proceed, waiting for the others to pitch in ideas...
The fortune teller meanwhile had moved to the table with the food and was stuffing (in every sense of the word) herself between Nereida and the Bard. Noticing neither had participated much in the conversation, she tried to start one "And wh*yum*o might *slurp* you two *Takes bite of Bread* be?"

Darien stopped and considered the probability of them going to said castle and either succeeding or dying or being enslaved. He groans as the thought were not in his favor. He lifted his stone gaunlet and looks over at it, slwly wiggling the fingers and contemplating how he can improve on it.

Nereida, upon being addressed, jumped after she took a bite of her bread. She hadn’t expected to be spoken to.
She nervously ran a hand through her black hair and said, “My name is Nereida Palaologa, ambassador of his Excellency Ambrosius Belisarius Caesar, the First of his Name, Emperor of All Rome. Our great empire is under attack, and he sent me east to find allies.”

"That's the Seoul palace, the one with the reinforced wall...over there by the harbor" Minjae gestured at the window "It might be possible to free your creator if we work together. Me and the resistance can cause a distraction to draw the guards away...but then the rest is up to you. What do you think?"
[Meanwhile]
"You went too far east hon" the Fortune Teller noted, responding to Nereida "I fear both Fukuma and the Tang Emperor are occupied - and us dwarves are being occupied. Perhaps to the South, the elves might be of help."

At the sound of the word distraction, the bard in the corner of the room brightened.
"What kind of distraction would you like?"

Re: Reign of Immortals RP
Liv surmised that if Rome was as far west as the conversation seemed to imply it was not worth worrying about and so dismissed the empire as a concern. "The kind that opens a path for us to get Creator out of that place. Something loud." She wanted to just go straight in and fry any guards who were unlucky enough to be in her way, but that was a very large castle and if its complement of soldiers was equally large...she might run out of power before getting through all of them. Which was annoying.
Re: Reign of Immortals RP
"The louder, the better" Minjae nodded in agreement with Liv. He then proceeded to grab a napkin from the center of the table to represent the Seoul Palace: The Western side faced the Yellow Sea; the North side faced Seoul's main harbor with a rather well fortified gate; the Eastern side a market district with the main gate; and the South a small housing district with a servants entrance. Minjae motioned at his elaborate one-napkin model "Right. Now we plan how to best storm the castle: I propose two groups - one to distract and the other to infiltrate the palace. What do you think?"
Minjae looked around the table expectantly for ideas/suggestions. He was toying with the idea of putting both Liv and Darian into the latter group - but given their earlier display he figured it best to let everyone at the table decide which group they preferred.

Re: Reign of Immortals RP
Darian could tell Minjae's eyes narrowed as he asked the question. After all Darian was in the former Dwarven capital with its exquisite masonry and impressive structures - and he had the nerve to call the Kingdom a backwater country. Minjae started to sympathize with Liv and figured it best that Darian be put in the breach group (i.e. not his group) "I think it's best if everyone but me and the bard breach the castle. I'll help the bard create a distraction - allowing the rest of you to rescue the creator."
Now remained the discussion of which gate to breach and which gate to draw the guards towards. And of course Minjae personally was curious what the bard had in mind for a distraction.

"Well unlike you, I would rather stay alive. If this place has something REMOTELY magic-based, it would increase our chance of survival."

Re: Reign of Immortals RP
While it was slightly against her mission, Nereida couldn’t help but be intrigued at this mission. This person they’re attempting to rescue could be a potential ally for her empire.
With this in mind, she says, “I’m in. I’ll help infiltrate.”

Re: Reign of Immortals RP
"You're right, it is a risky mission. Unfortunately we don't have much equiptment, as Seoul's Damiyo Rai Sukeyasu made sure to confiscate such materials. We do have enough health potions (Potion of Minor Healing) for each of us. Will you still join us [Darian]? Who knows, you might find something of interest in the palace" Minjae asked, knowing full well he was asking a lot. But he figured that the risk of the creator falling into the wrong hands was too much to bear. He then thanked Nereida for volunteering - grabbing the health potions for each member from an adjacent room - handing one to each group member.
-------------------------------------------------------
Potion of Minor Healing: Will heal most non-lethal injuries, though it can't fix broken bones or torn up organs (including punctured ones - such as a sword through heart).

Darian raised the vial up in the light and swirls the content around slowly. He put it back down on the table and looks over at Liv then back at Minjae, "Fine, I'll go."

Re: Reign of Immortals RP
The Seoul Palace was nestled atop a cliff - with overview of the Yellow Sea below. The fortress had been constructed to guard the harbor to the North, eventually turning the surrounding township into a major trading port. The fortress itself flew the imperial banner of Japan accompanied by the banner of the Rai dynasty. Yasuo and possibly the bard would recognize the banner belonging to the dynasty that had during the Japanese Unification wars betrayed the free confederation of Daimyo who at the battle of Kyoto. Fukuma had won that day, in part because of the betrayal. The Rai would've been given Seoul as gratitude for his victory (and to keep the treacherous Daimyo out of Japan whilst taking advantage of the dwarven resistance to keep Sukeyasu Rai busy).
Liv, Darian, Yasuo, and Nereida
Hidden in an alleyway of the commoner district with a decent view of the Southern servant's entrance, stood the group tasked with infiltrating the Seoul Palace. The sun was setting, which meant that with a sufficient distraction, the party would be able to get into the fortress. The servants entrance was open and dimly lit, guarded by a single inattentive guard with a pike. Atop the wall were a handful of slowly moving figures - presumably the lookouts.
Bard & Minjae
The duo stood a short distance from the East-facing main gate - at a bustling market - which yet had to receive the memo of a darkening sky. Minjae had bought himself a glass of Mango juice, turning to his companion "So, what did you have in mind for your distraction?"

Liv growled, her arms folded. "How long is this going to take before we can move?"
Re: Reign of Immortals RP
Nereida turned to Liv, placing her finger to her lips. “Keep quiet.” She said in a low whisper. Her eyes filled with suspicion as she checked the area for any potential guards who may have heard Liv.

Re: Reign of Immortals RP
Minjae & Bard
As Minjae asked the question, he found himself to be talking with the empty space of where the Bard had just stood. Or maybe Minjae had lost the Bard in the marketplace crowd. Either way, Minjae couldn't rely on the Bard for the moment - but his companions still needed a distraction.
Minjae glanced around, finding exactly what he was looking for: Over a large stone wall was a massive Japanese banner - visible to the castle. Minjae took one last glance at the crowd, and failing to see the Bard, gathered flames in his hand. The resulting firebolt hit the Japanese banner squarely in the middle, as it started to burst into flames. Minjae then concentrated summoning a fog cloud in his proximity to cause further chaos among the market-going citizens. Of course he hoped his companion still had a better distraction planned, but at least some Samurai would be drawn to the market square.
Liv, Darian, Yasuo, and Nereida
The group was able to see the Japanese banner burst into flames in the distance. On the walls, shouting could be heard. The shouting was followed by the predictable clanking of the gatehouse opening as a rather large contingent of Samurai left the castle.

“That’s the signal!” Nereida whispers to the group. “Let’s go!”
After saying that, she attempts to sneak through the chaos, praying to Hermes that she won’t be noticed.

Re: Reign of Immortals RP
Hermes must have heard Nereida, for the lone guard at the servants entrance had started to walk toward her after placing his spear against the wall, with his eyes fixated on the commotion in front of the castle.

Yasuo removes the flask from his robe, takes a long swig, slicks back his hair, and stumbles forward drunkenly toward the guard.
"Heeeeeeeeellllooooo my friend hick it's been so long since i've hick seen your ugly mug!" he says, slurring his words and putting an arm around the guard.

Darian was not ready for this bit knew it was pointless to back down at this point he ran behind Nereida and yasua, only to feel immediate regret from the drunkard's idiocy. He clenched his stone fist and sent it towards the guards face.

"Get off me ya bloody drunk" the guard warned angrily, trying to free himself from Yasuo's embrace. The guard stopped his attempts when he saw Nereida and someone charging at him with a massive stone fist. Unfortunately for him, the spare seconds where he could've called for help - he didn't. He just watched in shock as the stone fist slammed into his face, KO'ing the guard.
The door behind the guard was ajar revealing a largely empty courtyard as most of the guards had gone up on the battlements to watch the fiery distraction. The servants entrance gave way to the stables and an unguarded side entrance to the main building - presumably some servant's room (kitchen, storage, etc.).
