"I'm staying out here," Dextor says. "Don't want to blow my cover if I can help it."

"Not sure how to tell you this. You're cover may already be blown."

"What?" Dextor says, confused.

After watching Brittle examine the door, Cheese speak. "What do you think?"
"The second spell is an alarm. I'm not sure if it'll go off once I disable it, so you might want to hurry after that."
At Blackhawk:
"Hi by the way. Name's Brittle Temper. Seems i'll be joining in tonight's burglary activities.
Here goes nothing."
I try to disable the spells ((want me to reroll for that?))

[Yeah, roll Arcana for each spell.]

"Through this very door I heard someone saying that they'd got someone else to tell them everything by pretending to be a fellow agent. Under the circumstances, I'm guessing you told everything to someone that you thought was another undercover Night Trooper? "

Dextor's incredibly pale face says it all.

Brittle doesn't manage to disable the spells, although no alarm appears to sound. He's not sure why.

"Its possible that she was a fellow agent. These deep cover operations take months or years at a time. By outing you, she gains the trust of Doom. In other words. Don't take it personally."

Cheese pats Dextor on the back.

"Sorry folks, seems like those spells are staying on. I don't hear any alarms yet though, so that's a plus.
Still..."
Brittle looks thoughtful
"If they know you're in town, they might be expecting you to break in. Alarm might not even be sound based for all we know.
It might be better if we assume they know we're here"

Dextor doesn't look terribly reassured, especially after Brittle's news.

"Hey. At least you found out what Doom's after. Thats got to count for something."

"What even makes you think I liked her??" Dextor says, voice raised and arms flailing. "I mean, if she is a her. Which I'm not saying she is!"

"Dextor, your panic tells us everything," said Zebulon.

Dextor gives Cheese a geniunely confused look. "What? Starlight? What're you talking about? I don't think she's cute. She's cool! Like Mareia Hill of S.H.I.E.L.D.!"

"Ah..my bad, my bad."

"So, getting back to the task at hand. What does everyone think of entering the door? They probably know we're here anyway."

EDIT:"Though if I may make a suggestion that we withdraw for now. Also that we trigger the alarm as often as we can."

kajisora Mon Oct 22, 2012 3:12 pm

Brittle Grins
"One suggestion would be to come back at a later date when they do NOT know we're here."
"But I assume that isn't an option, so how about this: one of us waits outside the room's window to cut off an escape route. Once we have someone in place, we break down the door, send the rest in. One stays behind to cover he hallway"

Appkes Mon Oct 22, 2012 4:21 pm

"Whatever we do, we'd best do it now. Most of them left before we got there via the window, the others could be leaving at any point"

AProcrastinatingWriter Mon Oct 22, 2012 5:12 pm

"Note to self," Blackhawk mentally jotted down once he'd picked up his stunned-silent jaw, "Have a talk with Starlight about Dextor and missions like these."

Once he'd taken care of that, and while the others were talking over their plan, Blackhawk whispered to Zebulon. "Just me or is this stuff gettin' exhaustin'?" he asked.

Then, once he'd received his answer, the quarter-bird shifted his stance, clearing his throat less out of a need to get attention (for once) and more out of a need to clear his throat. "Alright, then. I ain't done too much inspecting myself and you guys are kinda in the way at the moment, so does this door open inways or outways? 'Cause if it opens out," and here Blackhawk pointed to Barabus, "We just get the big colt on campus to stand in front of it and that'll be a pretty effective doorstopper. Least I think so."

kajisora Mon Oct 22, 2012 5:44 pm

"If we're busting this door down, it won't matter which way it opens. And apparently nobody here can pick locks, so that seems the only way in.
Either that, or we take mr. Cheeses' suggestion and wait for later."
*Yawns*
"Exiting as tonight's events may be, I've been up since before sunrise as well"

AProcrastinatingWriter Mon Oct 22, 2012 8:56 pm

Blackhawk shook his head a little. "Yeah that's a good point. Okay, well, if we're tired, so will they be...wow, that came out mangled." Another headshake. "But you get what I'm sayin'. Part of surprise is catchin' the foe unaware as possible, and that means while they're sleepin' or tired, right?"

kajisora Tue Oct 23, 2012 5:46 am

"Either way, if we're going in, we have to act quickly. All in favor of going in now?"

Brittle raises a hoof
