(( And alas, we all move forward. ))

Desdemona marched the bustling morning streets of the capital, leading her crew behind her. Their parade was quite the sight, spanning all sizes and races, and yet all highly armed and dangerous. Squads of mercenaries and private security forces were commonplace in the overpopulated city, but even so there were few which matched the variety of Desdemona's group.

"Alright, listen up." the leader declared. She had already explained the scant details of the operation on the way, but now that they were closing in on their destination it was time to outline her very loose plan. "They know who we are, and they probably know why we're coming. Regardless, we're going to walk right in and buy some wine. Whatever you do, don't drink anything. We're going to take it to a friend of mine who can analyze it for curses or toxins... unless any of you think you're up to that job." Walking up in a show of force was hardly a subtle way to approach this simple task, but Desdemona very much wanted the enemy to know that she was onto them.

Desdemona pointed ahead, where The Chicory Wolf Pub was coming into view. "We're almost there. If they don't stop us, I'm going right inside. A few of you will stay out here and cover our exit just in case. Dalton will take point on the outside team." She didn't assign specific roles to anyone yet, allowing everyone to choose one of the two roles. She didn't care to manually assign everyone for such an inconsequential stage of the mission, but was prepared to do so if anyone didn't figure out their place by the time the group reached the building.

~~~oOo~~~

"Yes, thank you Lady Desdemona." said Dalton. He broke away from the formation, stepping a few feet off to one side. "Everyone covering the outside come over here with me." he suggested.

Their march through the streets was probably intimidating to some - what with the horned vampire leader, the giant wolf-man, giant shield dude and RIPPED amazonian. However, the whole thing was probably offset by the other half of the crew - the basically unarmed young girl, the tiny goblin with a comical sized hammer, the plain looking fellow with a crossbow and the staggering drunkard.

What a crew Desdemona led.

Connor shouldered his staff for most of their trek, the gourd idly swaying from side to side behind him as he staggered onwards after the captain and crew. More than once he looked about ready to lose all balance and tumble over only to regain his footing without batting an eye, never once coming close to bumping into anyone despite his erratic steps. There was an odd kind of grace to it - one probably missed by anyone without a keen eye.

The man set the base of his staff against the ground and leaned into it again once they reached their destination, lazy smile gracing his face as he reached up and grabbed the gourd - popping out the attached cork and taking a deep swig of its contents.

" Ahh!~ Can do cap'n, I'm with ye! " He said as the bottle left his lips, recorking it and stumbling over to Team Desdemona. " You're gonna need this expert fer' this kinda job, ain't none of them wine amateurs gettin' anything ova' on me. " I am Inferi.

Gideus raised a curious eyebrow at Connor as he declared his own virtues and aligned himself with their horned, vampiric leader. So much for modesty he mused to himself, as both of his hands began to tap rhythmically at the pommels of his twin daggers. Without announcing his attentions, he sauntered up towards Dalton. Gideus knew his talents as a force of intimidating were utterly limited, however his ability to scout was somewhat unrivalled due to his abilities.

Gideus glanced up and down the building as they approached it and offered a few suggestions to his leader, in case Dalton wished to use the talents of the gnome.

"Roof is easy enough for surveillance," he noted, looking up to the top of The Chicory Wolf Pub. "Could pop down the chimney and look around." Then the gnome took a wide view at the surrounding buildings, weighing up their heights and positions relative to the pub that was their target. "Or up one of them," he noted, then chinned out towards a particularly low-lying roof. "That'd give me a view of upstairs rooms. Windows aren't an inhibitor; if I can see it, I can get there."

Gideus wasn't requesting a specific action be taken, nor was he expecting to be used beyond a lookout given the overview that had been delivered onto them by Desdemona. However, he always wanted to let his superiors know how best he could be utilised, in case a situation arose where those talents would be needed to be implemented.

"Bring it on, tough guy!" Cia told the man who accosted her, entirely unfazed by the entire thing. He wasn't recognizable, but hey, that happened a lot, and she wasn't worried with everyone from the mercenary group around. It never progressed past that point, though, and she found herself swept out the door with the rest.

There wasn't much to be said on the way - well, besides the job details, which told her that she probably didn't have much of a role here - but at least they were doing something. The days when they had to sit around were the worst; it just wasn't any fun. There was always something that could be done, but actual work was better than the other stuff any day.

"Not sure why you even drink that. It doesn't even taste good!" she commented to her drunken teammate, adding in, "Oh, and I'm going in too!" as she followed his staggering over towards their leader. Done in by the dubious doings of destiny.

Annie was excited that she found Desdemona's Mercenary Group. She was ready to complete the mission they were given. She said with excitement as she follow the captain,” Let’s do this! So what’s the plan?“ She was ready for anything. -Dances-

Cap'n Ryle Emeraldian stepped out of the bushes from which he had been spying on Annie, and folded and stuffed the inked cigarette paper into his flowing green sash, vibrous silk that matched the jade tip at the end.

He had decided to lump in with this crew, for the time being, no matter what man-jack said to him he could argue he was a wandering mercenary, a skilled killer and brawler and it was the truth.

As he fell into the parley with the bossgirl he bumped shoulders with the young woman and gave her a shuddering grin, except the stench of rotten flesh and twinkle of studded teeth mistook themselves for genuine friendliness and eyeless joy. 'Oo are ya

Dionysus looked back and forth. She wanted to go inside with Desdemona, but the morning sun was tempting.

"I'll stand watch!" Nys decided. She moved over to Dalton's side. If things got hairy, she was better equipped to fight outside where there was more space.

"Good idea!" Dalton agreed. "You can take up position on high ground and monitor the surroundings for suspicious or threatening actors. I will hold position down here behind the more brutish members, and keep a clear shot lined up for the door."

The brutish members he referred to were of course Nys and anyone else who decided to join the perimeter team. Danik was the favorable option in this case, but he was uncharacteristically absent.

Dionysus quivered.

"What did you call me?! Don't insult me if you want me to protect you! My arts are very elegant, you know!" She snapped, shaking her fist at Dalton. She wasn't completely serious but she wasn't completely joking either.

"Oh! Um!" Dalton threw his hands up in defense. "Please don't get the wrong idea, Lady Dionysus! I didn't intend to demean you, I was only referring to your rigorous and robust form of combat! Truly I am floored by the sheer impact of your technique!"
