Recap for Razilav (You feel Valizar's gnarled smile shine over you for this name choice).
The group decided to leave the scene of the constable assault and left their items for others to find. We placed their weapons in their hands and wiped off fingerprints and other forensic evidence. Disa grabbed their ammunition and Ilya took their credits (~150).
We decided to go to a swanky night club and lay low for a while until we could sneak over the border during morning rush hour. The group separated and staggered into the club so as not to attract too much attention. While there, Ilya and Saewurg were hit on by many women and exotic dancers. Of note, Ilya was able to charm one particular woman into buying him a drink and eventually revealing that she was the mayor's daughter. It just so happens that she's also the black sheep of that family and is a notorious troublemaker and good-time girl. Ilya worked his charms and found out some details about her, but the situation didn't become physical due to the ominous presence of her looming bodyguard watching the whole scene unfold. The two parted ways with a flirty nod to possible future meetings between them. We'll be keeping her in our back pocket as a potential ally in our efforts to clear our parents' names.
We rode away together in the rickshaw during the early morning hours so that we could cross the border during rush hour. While traveling, we spotted a tail. We tried to shake him, but he was too observant. Disa had his celestial badger (Pedigree) hide in the park as we passed it and then it ambushed him once he reached that point. The ruse worked and we lost him. Unfortunately, we picked up several more tails a short while later. Two on bikes and several pulling a rickshaw.
Ilya got out of our rickshaw and tried to hide so that he could cut off one of the tails at the pass. He distracted one of the bikers and knocked him off his ride. The situation quickly escalated to violence when the rider pulled a firearm on him and shot. Fortunately, the bullet only grazed him. Once that happened, the group reacted quickly and defended themselves.
The group trailing us revealed weapons, firearms, and a potent spellcaster hiding in the rickshaw, but they were no match for the mighty Pedigree and his ankle biting prowess. The badger beat up on a bunch of the thugs and the rest of the group hammered away with creative fighting tactics. Disa tripped up a biker with an Indiana Jones style staff in the spokes to flip the vehicle. Ilya knocked out another in melee, and Saewurg punished them with power words that thwarted their strategy. Fatigue to prevent them from pulling the rickshaw and pain to knock them out.
After the fight, we found out from the leader that they were members of a pickpocket ring trying to rob us. We knocked him out and took their stuff. Ilya will list the inventory. From that point, we cleaned ourselves up and made our way past the checkpoints during rush hour. We went back to the safehouse and tested out new items.
