Conflicting Narrations: Crownkiller's Mulligan

[ThreadLurkingComorant]

You stepped out with Ibarra following close behind you, as prepped to fight as you can be in the moment. 

You're immediately intercepted by Dive who nearly tackles Ibarra into the wall with a hug. 

Dive: There you are!

Ibarra: I never left... 

Dive: I couldn't find you so I thought you were outside... where were you too? 

Ibarra: Indoors, I-

Tiles: I was doing badly tonight, your sister was keeping me company-

Dive: You don't need say a thing more, Miss Knight. I understand thoroughly..

Ibarra: Even in a crisis moment you've found the energy to be so ... rude. 

Dive: And you could be honest about why you asked for separate rooming. 

Ibarra: I thought it'd be better if you were with others your age... 

Dive: Won't hear it, that's not what's important right now. 

Ibarra: Spill. 

Tiles: Second that.

Dive: Mister Gallows is out there picking a fight with inspectors. Their truck is on fire and-

Tiles: They brought a truck out here? There's no trade route or facility in this region for them to merit that... 

Dive: Nobody knows. Courier says he doesn't want others to intervene but it's insisted on Miss Knight going out there. It'll have your back of course-

Tiles: Is it just Gallows alone? 

Dive: Aye, wants to keep it looking like a rogue effort rather than a organized thing. A large group would start larger investigation if anyone were to escape.. 

Ibarra: Are there stragglers roaming about? 

Dive: Likely, truck had 7 people. Mister Gallows is dealing with 3, they're quite well armed though-

You start toward the back exist. 

Dive: Are you going out there? 

Tiles: Mm... Ibarra is as well. 

Ibarra: Am I? 

Tiles: Mmhmm.. We need keep operations brief. Courier is out there at all or-

Dive: Feeding us info, aye. 

Tiles: Sights on where the rest are?

Dive: Imagine so, says to... ask Styx to relay? Figured you'd know what that means.

You fish around your pockets for a rather large sewing pin, as pin as your palm sheathed in a leather cover. 

You ae given a visual of the situation, two attempting a search,  three attacking Gallows. one downed, one still alive inside the burning truck in spite of all things.. 

The last one feels ominous, energy is hostile across the board. 

Ibarra reaches out for the needle, you hand it to her and watch her eyes widen. 

Dive looks over at her with worry on his face. 

Ibarra: Tiles? Make the call.

You have been given the following information to make a plan.


[image description: A visual layout giving information on the current situation. You are currently in the interior safehouse alongside Ibarra and Dive. Lurking in the nearby alley is a hostile. A blue circle representing Gallows is surrounded by three dots representing hostiles. There is a very powerful hostile in the red marker representing a truck on the nearby street, indicated by a darker shaded dot inside.. A letter X representing a slain hostile is on opposite end of the truck and a additional hostile inticated by a dot. is around the corner of the street going eastward. There are icons above portraits of your player character and Ibarra that function as your sub-party units.]

Gameplay Information: 
Your sub party consists of your familiar you can summon to give simple commands and Ibarra's proxy she can call for help in combat.

Your Sub-Party Unit, Bastion, is a supporter who is weaker in combat but can aid in a variety of other tasks such as communication, delivery, sabotage, and so on. Anything that could be handled by smaller hands is possible. It has enough range to function through the entire current map.

Ibarra's Sub-Party Unit is a proxy, has to be within range of her sightlines to communicate with and control. It is over 6 feet tall and built for purposes that require heavy lifting and craftsmanshift. It is very capable in combat and can manifest as a axe to fight directly.

The Rat will handle any out of character/game questions. Feel free to ask.
