Holy shit time skip.

Let us wait for Hugh to awaken; perhaps he wants to hang out or fight evil...or both.

>>14896985

You wait about an hour, before Hugh wakes up.

"Awwh, evening Gabriel." Hugh says, suddenly stretching his arms. "Man, I said I'd never get used to using names, but now it just seems so obvious. Pointing and saying 'you' really was stupid, huh?"

>>14897089
"Evening Hugh. Good to see that you're awake."

"Indeed. Those days seemed so long ago..."

Look out over the city for some reminiscing times.

"Remember when we used to play poker all the time? All of us?"

Bitter-sweet memories and what-not.

"...I wonder where the others were taken to...We still haven't found any clues..."

>>14897125

"Evening Hugh. Good to see that you're awake."

"Yeah we can't all be early risers. Or light sleepers, for that matter." Hugh says, pulling a bird's nest off of his head and setting it off to the side.

"Indeed. Those days seemed so long ago..."

You turn your empty gaze to the city, it fading off into a blackened soup a few hundred feet off.

"Remember when we used to play poker all the time? All of us?"

You recall happier times, those innumerable, innocent years when the world was comfortable, and violence was far away from you, in fiction and film.

"...I wonder where the others were taken to... We still haven't found any clues..."

"Well, it's all a matter of knowing where to look." Hugh says, grinning. "We should shake down the local snitches and find some hot tips."

>>14897258
Mah niggah'.

"You sound like you have a plan..." Use our hearing to see if Father is here presently. "...knowing you, it may have premiered recently as a blockbuster." We'll say that jokingly.

Also, can you recap what we've learned?

>>14897301

"You sound like you have a plan..." You say, simulatneously hearing the father enter in through the back door of the church. "...Knowing you, it may have premiered recently as a blockbuster."

"Hey, this one's from a book that came highly reccomended." He says, a bit flustered. "With a bit of Columbo thrown in. You remember those shady guys you worked with for a while?"

"You mean the oens I worked with for a single day?" You respond, an eyebrow raised.

"Really? Well, it felt like a lot longer, I guess. anyway, they're shady types, they might know something about dealings in exotic stuff, like, for example, rare magical artifacts or..."

>>14897393
We have eyebrows?

"I didn't know you read? Where did you get books from?"

Then, let's brainstorm about our next course of action.

"You mean to incite the Don? That definitely is dangerous, but we don't risk exposing our identities. However..." Keep track of Father. "...I fear for Father's well-being. If the Don manages to link our actions back to us..." Remind ourselves of the True Meaning of Pain. "However, if that's our only lead, we'll have to be discreet."

>>14897459

Well, you don't have hair, but you do have facial "muscles" of a sort. Since you can just shape your body to have them.

"I didn't know you read? Where did you get books from?"

"The father leant them to me. Said they were old, but the printings looked new to me." Hugh muses. "At any rate, they're still down in the library in the basement."

"You mean to incite the Don? That definitely is dangerous, but we don't risk exposing our identities. However..." You look down at the church, almost through it, though your imagery of the father is very fuzzy.

"...I fear for Father's well-being. If the Don manages to link our actions back to us..." You recall, unhappily, the circumstances leading to you losing your vision. "However, if that's our only lead, we'll have to be discrete."

"I don't want to incite him. But from the bit you've said, he's some kind of magician, right?" Hugh simplifies, hunching over a bit as he paces and begins to speak like the detective everyone loves to hate, Columbo. "So, er, what I'm saying, sir, is that these underlings may ahve overheard some kind of dealings, maybe even went with him as escorts at some point to some kind of a deal. And, them being the farthest away from him during their job, wouldn't they be the safest bet?"

>>14897562
Try to impersonate in a similar fashion, smiling.

"Keep up that kind of thinking kid, and you'll be going places."

"So, where did you see these grunts?"

"Keep up that kind of thinking kid, and you'll be going places." You say, bogarting a bit of ol' Humphery's voice.

"So, where did you see these grunts?" You say.

"You know the ones who you got into the car with, got out of the car with. Those guys!" Hugh says. "One of 'em wore a green jacket, another looked kinda scary..."

You can remember them. The bunch you went with for the enforcement jobs:

>>14897882
"You've seen them recently?"

Sorry for sparse posting; I've been moving locations, but now I've settled down.

>>14898362

"You've seen them recently?" You ask Hugh.

Hugh looks for a moment like he's about to tell you something great, then slumps. "No, I just remember what they look like from memory. I thought maybe you'd know how to find them, what with your nightly patrols."

>>14898630
Well, let's try to remember our interactions with the Don. If we remember anything about patrols or anything of the sort, let's start out there. Perhaps we should check out that warehouse where we started when we worked for the Don.

Once we have our destination, TO THE SKIES!

>>14898699

You do remember one place that was hit up rather regularly.

You don't want to remeber it though. It's one of the last places you saw.

"I have an idea of where they might go." You say, taking off without a further word.

A handful of minutes later, you are outside of a great, vine-wrapped house with a large glass window on one side.

>>14898777
Ask Hugh to begin the search for some of the low-ranked grunts. We should use our sonar to find hidden sentries that could disrupt our search.

>>14898829

You know none of the Don's men will be here until collection time.

For you see, this is the house of one Mary McGregor.

>>14898887
Then we shall wait in the shadows.

We can pass the time throwing things at traffic like all bored Gargoyle's do...I'm joking.

>>14898909

Nope, I had ten pages typed up about you throwing things at traffic, and now I have to delete it all, thanks.

A familiarly shaped car pulls up to the exterior, and three people you recognize exit the vehicle.

Still unshaven, still with the same bored look on his face, Renee steps out first, sighing.

The second to exit is Godfried, his dark clothing appearing the same as any kind to your new vision. He is frowning slightly, and clutching a pistol in one hand.

The last to exit the car is the bald-headed man wearing sunglasses, a cigarette in his mouth. He swears loudly, slamming the car's door.

>>14899091
Let us confront them. As they approach the door, swoop down.

"It's been a while..."

Although we're not "friends" with them, we can play nice.

"I am here to ask you something before you begin your shakedown of the Lady McGregor..."

Let Hugh peak in, as usual.

>>14899150

"It's been a while..." You say, just as you land.

"Indeed it has. We had no idea what happened after you went to see the Don, but you look well enough." Renee says, smiling.

"I am here to ask you something before you begin your shakedown of the Lady McGregor..." You say to them.

Fredrick kicks the side of the car as you finish your sentence.

"We're not here to shake her down." Renee says, his smile disappearing.

Hugh swoops down as Renee finishes speaking. "Wait, I thought that was what you guys did?"

>>14899194
"Oh?" Sonar behind us, looking for McGregor. "Have you come for something else, then?"

>>14899202
I'm heading to bed, OP. I'll look at the sup/tg/ thread for the next day that you'll be running this. Hopefully, I'll actually be here when you start the initial thread.

>>14899210

"Yes." Renee says, coldly.

"We've come to kill her."

Next game will be on Sunday at 15:00 I think.

Hey OP; Just woke up and saw that you're still doing Kobold Quest. Can you do both of these quests or are you done with Gargoyle Quest for today?

Bump.

I'll be back in an hour and fifteen, we'll see then.

>>14902904
Cool.

So, any response to:

>>14899629

?

>>14903897
Oh.

"Why? Has the Don run out of patience for her?"

If they agree, then we'll say: "While her debt is great, it does not mean her life. Surely even you can see that."

>>14903948

"Why? Has the Don run out of patience for her?"

"In short, she's stopped paying. So, yes." Renee says.

"While her debt is great, it does not mean her life. Surely even you can see that."

"See, I said we were here to kill her." Renee says, holding back a sigh. "And that... Well, that's a bit misleading, I admit."

(Back in an hour, other class)

>>14904043
"You have other plans?"

>>14904054

"You have other plans?" You ask him.

"Naturally. I may have killed a few people, but innocent old ladies aren't the kind of people I'd like to add to that list." Renee says, tilting his head off to one side. "So, we're going to make the Don think we killed her, and then we're going to do one of two things: 1. Either trick him into thinking we did it and continue being his servants, or 2. We run our asses off and hide from him for the rest of our lives."

"Not a very good plan." Godfried says, checking his gun.

"Hey, desperate times." Renee chuckles.

"Call for desperate measures?" Hugh adds.

"Whoa, slow down the brain truck, one just fell off." Renee says, smiling pleasantly at Hugh. "'Fraid we haven't been introduced."

"Hugh, GI." Hugh announces. You groan preemptively as he adds, "Gargoyle investigator." Smirking all the while.

>>14904734
"I'm glad you've decided to take mercy on the old woman..." Smile grimly. At least no one is dying tonight. "However, I have a small favor to ask of you both. More correctly, a question." Then, give him the details about the last time we saw our friends.

"Though his magic will make your plans difficult, I trust you'll find your way. If you need me for anything, I would be happy to help..."

>>14904982

"I'm glad you've decided to take mercy on the old woman..." You smile, a grim droop in your jaw. At least no one is dying tonight. "However, I have a small favor to ask of you both. More correctly, a question."

* * *

"I really seem so vicious that I'd take out a poor old woman?" Renee says, after you're done explaining. "Ouch. I really have to dial it down."

"You can come on a bit strong sometimes." Godfried says, shrugging.

"So, packed up by some strange men... Well, this is presuming quite a lot, but assuming they knew what you were, and assuming they knew they had the right ones, there's a few places they could have gone." Renee thinks, tapping his chin. "Most likely is La Musee. Underneath a small wax museum, they store everything. Bodies, houngan artifacts, even host their own pit fights. Have a few special weight classes." Renee smirks over at Fredrick.

"Though his magic will make your plans difficult, I trust you'll find your way. If you need me for anything, I would be happy to help..." You look over each of them in turn.

"Actually, considering many things, we're on the same side. We could help each other." Renee smirks. "Although how I got such a bloodthirsty reputation with you is beyond me."

>>14905453
"I'm listening..." Get a little closer. "What are you offering to turn anew?"

>>14905588

"I'm listening..." You creep a little closer. "What are you offering to turn anew?"

"We get you into La Musee, let you look around some, then we both get what we need and get out." He says simply. "Really, I must be getting mixed signals, here. I thought we got along well."

"You always think that." Godfired says.

>>14905864
"A man's profession says a lot...and what might you be so interested in?" Let him see our blank stare."If I am ever to place trust in you then you must be truthful with me right now."
