Disguises and Distractions

So we sat down and did some figuring. I rolled the bones and got some hints about where we needed to go and what we would be up against. A mountain to the west and there would be bad guys and the relic being used to abduct towns. Though Moira was able to get more exact details than I was, at least my prophesying was able to give her a direction to start with.

The real trick was getting in and getting what we needed and getting out. Of course, there were calls for storming the enemy base, but we didn't have exact directions, nor was I up for another raid that could get someone hurt or killed. So, I convinced them to let me use some subterfuge to get what we needed.

Moira had learned there would be svartalfar in the mountain, as well as your usual fair of big, dumb, giants, as well as some Tengu. So, that meant the svartalfar would be in charge. Using some new abilities to control my appearance, I made myself look like a svartalfar. Kinda crazy, right?

I tricked some giants along the way into showing me to the cave, using the explosion in town as my cover story. It took a while to get there and when I got to the cave in the mountain, I strode in like I was on a mission (because I was). I got in to the boss, another svartalfar, and sitting next to him was a small dark globe, the artifact we needed.

With the girls waiting outside, I needed a distraction to make a commotion in order to make a grab for it. So, I used my connection to the forces of chaos to get a bit of inspiration and shield myself from the mayhem I was about to cause. I "tripped" and hit an alarm on the wall (what a mountain hideout is doing with an intruder alarm on the wall, I have no idea).

Now I just gotta get the globe away from him...
