>>158460>>158461"If either of you think you will need more firepower, I put some of my spare large weapons in trunk of car, including pump shotgun gangsters this car use to belong to left behind."
>>158461His Grin equally matches hers in terms of maliciousness
>>158462"More firepower huh? exactly what are we talking about?"
>>158462"I don't know" She says
"I'll leave that to you. 'Firepower' isn't really my style."
>>158463>>158464"Nothing too much, but everything I have is available for you two to use."
He notices the grins on his two companions' faces.
"You two are perfect for each other, you know?"
>>158465"Yes we are."
He continues grinning.
"so whats in the trunk besides the Shotgun?"
>>158465"Hehe, maybe." She answers
>>158466"SMG and Lavender Rifle. Not much, but it is something."
>>158469You remember the SMG he got from the quarry?
>>158468"A SMG and a Lavender rifle? if you would be so kind i would like to use one or the other, just in case."
>>158475Silver stops and parks the car a couple of blocks away from the location.
"Alright, we are nearby. What will be our plan of attack, before we get there?"
>>158476"im not sure. Whats the situation? whats it like in there?:
>>158472I'm not seeing a note of the SMG, at least specifically, being taken along
>>158476The location is a restaurant called "The Golden Sun."
>>158477>>158478"I do not know, all I know is that it is restaurant used by this Bargain Strength and his underlings and sort of hangout."
>>158479Dark Star Holsters his revolvers
"Are we ready?"
>>158478>>158480Silver looks to Blue Skies for confirmation.
>>158480>>158481She sits up in the seat, wearing a sweater. She reaches for and grabs her revolver under her clothing.
"We don't really know what we are entering into. Then again, I don't think we are going to."
They are across the street, and a block or so away from the restaurant. The restaurant has a set of glass windows facing the street, a standard door, a brick façade, a few windows on a second floor, and a large patio that has seats a covered wooden roof. The letters "Golden Sun" are hung in big, brass lettering above the door.
>>158482he examines the building for anypony nearby
"Do you still have my jacket, blue?"
>>158483It appears that the restaurant is being used as a standard restaurant, with ponies moving around on the patio, outside, and evidently, inside.
"Hehe, yes. It's in my room."
>>158310The White one speaks
"As I said. There are likeminded griffins in the Order in Hellquil. Griffins who share my understanding, and my preferences. If not, there are some in Yale."
The red one speaks
"This was great while it lasted, but it's over now. There are cells everywhere there are griffins. I will find something." He answers
>>158484he takes note of how its being operated.
"that could be a problem, a lot of ponies moving in and out"
"Im glad you do."
>>158486"Witnesses. Potential collateral" Blue Skies says. "And for all we know, these are guards. Or even our target."
>>158487"I Have a bad feeling about this."
>>158488"They probably know we are coming..." Blue Skies says
>>158488>>158489"We should find rear entrance."
>>158490She nods
"They will probably know who you are. But they don't know who I and this yellow earth pony are" She says
>>158489"we still have the element of Surprise for now..."
Dark Star looks around at other buildings and in the windows of said buildings.
>>158490"Good idea."
>>158492Roll spot (wisdom modifier)
>>158491>>158492"Think you will be able to scout out building without them raising alarm?"
>>158494"Walking through the front door is my specialty" Blue Skies says
>>158494"i might be able to. say how exactly did you acquire this car again?"
[1d20+3 = (20+3) = 23]>>158495>>158498"I may have stolen it from gangsters who attacked us. I personally definitely will not be able to park right in front, or go in through front.
Spot: Silver also looks for a potential back entrance into the restaurant through back alleys or adjacent buildings.
>>158500Oh
now it rolls well for him
Yes. There is an alley behind the restaurant with a door that leads inside.
>>158500>Nat 20"Yea that would be very unwise."
>>158501>>158502Silver points out the alley.
"I can go in through back, there. It sounds like you, Skies, wants to go in through front door. How about you, Dark Star?"
>>158503"Hmmmmmm. i wonder if anypony can get in through the roof?"
>>158505"That might be for the best. or i could see if theres a ladder somewhere."
[1d20+3 = (7+3) = 10]>>158504>>158505>>158506Spot: Silver uses his keen eyes to try to spot any sign that there's an external roof access.
>>158506"Tell me where you think you are best sent"
she says
>>158507It looks like it has a flat roof, and that is about all he can figure out
>>158512i blame the first roll failing.
>>158508"If i was a mafia leader i would have the roof guarded."
>>158513"So who gets the front door?" She asks
>>158514"Well, i might be the least suspicious."
>>158514>>158515"It does not have to be only one pony per entrance, keep in mind. You both could go in through front, like couple on date."
>>158516"Well, maybe not suspicious. but a beautiful face draws a lot of attention."
>>158517"Hmmmmm not a bad idea."
>>158520"They won't think I'm there to do them harm if they are trying to fuck me, or assume I'm there for somepony else to try."
>>158521Dark Star trys not to sound jealous
"That makes sense."
>>158522"But... We can walk in together. Unless I should go in through the roof. What precisely do you want to do when you're in there, anyways?"
>>158522>>158523"I do not know about you two, but I plan on going in through back and tearing them apart."
>>158523His voice returns to normal
"we can go in the front, i think thats probably the best idea."
>>158524"Sounds messy."
>>158526"That sounds good. We can go together like a couple, or separately. Going in separately may make it easier for me to hide while you confront, or I distract while you take your position."
>>158525>>158526"Unless you have better idea."
>>158528"What is your goal, exactly? Making them stop? Do you know if this is all from the initiative of this one, slighted gangster, or are they just the pawns of someone else?"
>>158527"How about i smoke a cig outside while you slip in first?"
>>158529"Making them stop, most of all."
>>158532"How are you going to do that?" She asks
>>158532"That sounds rather complicated."
>>158533>>158534"I could kill them, that is simplest solution. I could try to detain them and have them arrested. I
could try to intimidate or persuade Bargain Strength into stopping, but that would be difficult and may not work."
>>158531"Order me a hayburger when you get in."
>>158535"a very simple solution. but the only problem i see,is comte will just send another capo to do the dirty work."
>>158535"All I can say is that my superiors will be very upset if these witnesses are not available. And I suspect a number of very powerful, and maybe a few not so powerful, ponies will be very upset if they
are available."
>>158536Her mouth drops open
>>158537Silver nods firmly.
"Alright, whenever you two are ready."
>>158538Blue Skies opens the door, and stands up, carefully looking over towards the location.
>>158539She gives a small scrunch.
>>158538>>158540Dark star walks around to the trunk.
>>158541He smiles at her
>>158540>>158542Silver also gets out, heading to the trunk to grab the pump shotgun and whatever potential ammo was with it.
>>158543>>158542Be warry. The shotgun is far from easy to conceal.
>>158542She smiles back
>>158543>>158544what else is in the trunk?
>>158545Just the rifle, which is even bigger
>>158544Perfect for a less-than-stealthy job. He pulls it out, checks it, and loads it if it's empty.
>>158546Could it fit under my trench coat?
>>158547Six shells, pump action.
>>158548Sort of, just barely, with the edge of the barrel sticking out. But you can't mount the bayonet and hide it.
It's a bolt action, and thus not necessarily the equal of a pistol in close quarters.
>>158549Perfect. he pusts the bayonete in a pocket and the rifle under the coat.
>>158547He Turns to silver
"So when we get inside whats the siginal?"
Well, I have to sleep. Hopefully we can all pick up again tomorrow
>>158549>>158550"When you hear sound of gunfire," he slings the shotgun over his shoulder, "you will know shit has hit fan."
>>158485Who were these griffons again? They seem vaguely familiar, yet Amber can't place their names.
"If you say so. Will you go by new names, or don't you think a change of identity is needed?"
Am back
>>158573>>158552Blue Skies nods to the other two
>>158619Amber knows who these two are. The white griffin is Helder Von Neuestadt. He claims to be a family friend of the Katerin dynasty, somehow. His father was director of art for the previous king, or something, and so is he. Nominally, anyways. The red griffin is a bit more familiar: Erich Sóbányász. He's not from around here, and plays the violin in the town orchestra, but more importantly, in the personal sessions given to the princess
Helder:
"I think my name will be helpful, if anything."
Erich:
"If they are looking for me, yes. If the rumors about the Imperials being involved are true."
>>158620>>158550"You two get into position. I will give you minute or two before I start my move. Maybe I will be able to avoid violence, maybe not, but be ready."
Silver attempts to move over to the alley, hopefully without anyone from the restaurant noticing his shotgun.
>>158623Blue Skies walks to the other side, and takes a round about way of going to the restaurant before walking inside
What is Silver wearing?
It's difficult to move into position, because the alley is genuinely behind the restaurant, rather than to the side. The restaurant occupies a corner position on the lot, with the patio (which is to the left of the building) along the side of the road. The alley is ten or so feet wide, and is between the building and a department store.
>>158624What is he wearing? Either the tattered remains of his uniform and his armor, or nothing but his armor.
