The atmosphere in your merry band of misfits is tenser than usual as you lead the charge back into the casino backrooms. The plan, you reason, is simple: track down and isolate a guard, interrogate them in the storage room, and use what you learn to get to Rolo. Easy as one, two, three!
Well, maybe one, two, three, four, <span class="mu-i">five</span>--say what you will about the Spicys, they know how to run their security! The first two patrols you come across are just that: patrols of three or four wiseguys with a tamed Maakar leading the way and a faint crackle of magical energy around the whole group that makes your eyes tingle!
No dice!
“We ain’t closin’ da’ casino?” Asks a member of the search party as they make their way past your hiding spot.
“An’ scare the guests? What do you think?” Scoffs his partner as their beast-walking counterpart tugs on the leash. “All the entrances are covered–Heard from Mossa that the <span class="mu-r">BARRIERS</span> are ready ta’ go up at the drop of a hat too.”
The noose is closing, it would seem. Not daring to look back at TT or the others, your luck changes when you blink and nearly miss a man scampering past uttering curses under his breath all the way! Pausing in case anyone else comes after him, a splash of optimism washes over you as you hear the solo scamperer scurry into one of the rooms you hadn’t bothered to check yet!
<span class="mu-i">Jackpot</span>...
Creeping over like a cat casing a birdcage, you gently prod open the door and are immediately beset by…
Well…
“O-occupied!”
“Looks like we found the privy…” Mutters TT as she plugs her nose!
“Yea, you <span class="mu-i">HAVE!</span>” Growls the commode’s customer with an incredulous look on his face! “I know I forgot ta’ lock it, but have a little <span class="mu-i">CLASS!</span>”
Whoops, you remark, let me get that for ya! Letting the rest of the ladies file in, you make a show of locking the bathroom door behind you before shooting a menacing glance over to your new hostage!
Stomach problems, pal?
