"Alright ladies, let's catch us a bad guy." Addion says with a smile on his face as he jogs off in the direction of town. He makes it about 20 feet before he turns around and tosses War Slicer to Marius and says, "I'm going into a different entrance than the one up ahead (assuming here that there is more than one entrance to the town, if not I'll ask them to wait two or three hours before coming into town) I'll be in the biggest, busiest bar I can find. You guys come for me after you give me some time to get established there. Then, Marius, run in there scream my name and attack me with my spear... try for real to pin me to the wall with it, just don't blast me with... your blasts." "Mercury," Adion continues, "If all goes as planed I'll need you outside the bar, close and in plane sight. Please don't be up on a roof top or something, be down in the street or an ally or something." Adion thinks hard for a moment before nodding and saying, "Alright, that should be all I think. Alright ladies, see you there." And then Adion runs off to find himself a bar full of rough and rebellious people. OOC NOTE: guys, I'm not just trying to be a dick by leaving you out of the loop, I've never played a character with such a low wisdom score before and I'm trying to think things though as little as possible. So don't think I'm doing this just cause I enjoy it, enjoying it just happens to be a happy bonus to the plan .

Mercury looks to Marius. "I guess it might work; at the least, we're likely to flush our quarry from hiding, and he may think us far less capable than we really are." His voice seems sure, but there is an edge of worry to it.

NOTE: When I've heard from Cadic's (Nick) about whether or not he agrees to this, the game will continue.
Also, if you're planning to pass yourself off as a SOLDIER hater or etc., please note you have the glowing eyes of a SOLDIER and will be very easily recognizable as one unless you attempt to disguise yourself.

Shaking his head, he catches Warslicer out of the air, spinning it a few times to get a feel for its weight. "Might as well try out this plan of his. I just hope he actually planned it out farther than he's bothering to tell us right now. He has a bad habit of winging it." Looking to Mercury he just shrugs. "Worst comes to worst we'll just have made fools of ourselves and made our query, as you said, think us very incapable." Shrugging he moves forward after giving Adion a few minutes to find a secondary entrance (Or whatever), and then begins looking for the bar that seems most likely for him to be in.

Mercury follows his companion, quickly dismissing the birds before entering the city. The sword, however, remains as usual.

For the sake of haste, there will be some liberties taken with this post. If you truly object to what is written, please PM or IM me. Also, please finish your character sheets, all three of you are missing various features.
Adion separates from the group, entering town casually as he can manage. He manages to find a few bars, the most populated one seems to be one called: "Skulldigger's Den" and the sign on the front shows a humanoid shape drinking from a skull shaped mug. As you approach the door, an orc man walks out and gruffly shoulders you out of the way. He is wearing stylized studded leather and he has specially tailored leather holsters on his belt for what look like large iron spheres. You recognize them as Orcish shotputs. He turns and gives you a gold-toothed grin: "Watch where you're standing boy." and then keeps walking with a distinct "Gurawhawhaw" laugh as he goes. There is a heavy smell of something around him, you can't quite place it but you'd swear you knew it. Adion shrugs, continuing into the bar, one gruff orc is not what you're here for, after all, but he pauses, stopping just outside the loud raucous place and hits the button on his transmitter. "Message for Team, Valgrind Ignore, the location is Skulldigger's Den, give me five and a half minutes then approach." He clicks the comm channel closed and then pockets the device again. They'll get the message when they open theirs. He enters the bar then, casually striding in.
The place reeks of meat, sex, drugs, smoke, and violence. It is a two story room with an open ceiling on the first floor so that the second floor is a sort of all-around balcony down to the first. In the middle is a circular bar with spiral stairs down and up, down likely being the kitchen and storage, and up allowing it to reach the second floor. There are tables, stools, and chairs arranged haphazardly around the room. The clientele seems to be quite varied. You see centaurs, lizardmen, huge burly orcs and half-ogres, rough humans, dwarves, and of particular note, are the four 'men' in each corner. Each one sits behind a particularly shaped wooden divider topped with a chain fence barring them much in the sense of a pawn shop. You can see the door to the sides of the room for them to exit and each one stands solemnly and quietly in the rowdy merriment. Each one is identically clothed in an elegant black tunic, black mask with the eyes covered and only the mouth exposed, gloves cover their hands folded behind their back and black trousers with matching boots extend down from what you can see. Occasionally they are approached and given some form of payment and they seem to say something but you can't make it out, almost as if magic itself stops them from being heard by any but their intended recipient.
You find yourself a nice seat and a dark-skinned human man walks up: "What do you want?" He asks Adion, who waves him off after asking for a stiff drink. The drink arrives a few minutes later, right about the same time Marius has arrived outside and Mercury is waiting nearby. Marius and Mercury both notice a bizarre MAKO signatures from the occasional building, one in particular looks to be a shoddy warehouse that emanates a strangely 'unclean' MAKO signature, as if smeared with mud. You get the suspicion that this is likely where the MAKO energy for that tripwire was obtained, perhaps there is a lead on Ceyx in here?
Please post your actions now. Marius, if you intend to attack Adion, either roll an attack roll or a bluff roll. Take the higher if you roll both.

I get a feel for the bar. I'm listening for certain things. Mention of soldier activity in the area (us), the murders that Ceyx is responsible for. And mention of someone who matches the description of the driver who brought us here.
I'm also looking for angry rebel type people in the bar, the rougher this place gets the happier I will be.
Listen check: 19
I didn't roll a post check because I don't figure it would be to hard to spot rebels, if that was the wrong decision then let me know.
Note: I have no problem with the liberties that you took with my character there, and thanks for reminding me of the communicator... totally forgot about it.

Mercury is looking about the area outside, not hiding himself, but neither being particularly suspicious (other than glowing eyes and a frickin' crazy sword, that is).

Getting the message, he calmly waits out the appointed time and then heads towards there. Walking into the bar, not trying to hide the fact that he is Soldier at all, in fact he actually uses a bit of his MAKO manipulation to concentrate some of his own to make his eyes shine a bit brighter, he looks around, standing tall and menacing, Adion's spear over one shoulder. Spotting Adion he narrows his eyes and takes a few steps towards him. "ADION!" When he gets looks he tosses the spear slightly into the air, catching it in a manner suited for throwing, and sends it soaring through the air, straight for Adion's chest, actually attempting to pin him to the wall with it if possible.
Attack: 12+12+1=25 Damage=1d8(7)+1d6(6)(elec)+2=15 damage (Sorry rusty)
After throwing he calmly begins stomping closer to Adion, reaching into his pocket and pulling out a full sized quarter staff with his right hand as he does so. "By orders of SOLDIER, you are to come with me. Stand down arms and come willingly, and that spear wound will be all the worse for wear you are."

Alright Adion picks the spear up (or pulls it out of his body, whichever is required) and runs out the door screaming "Soldier cant get away with this forever, I'll get you!"
Once outside Adion books it though some alleyways and streets untill he's about a block and a half away then he jumps up onto a roof top of a two story building. Once there Adion tires to make sure everyone can't see him. Then he tries to bandage himself up using his shirt as the bandage.
Jump: 90 Heal: 8 (lol)

"You're only making this harder on yourself! You will be caught!" Spinning as Adion dashes out the door, he curses to himself and begins jogging towards the door himself. Upon reaching it he stops and looks around outside cursing under his breath. Turning back to the room he looks around, his eyes glowing intensely. "A sizeable reward to any who can give me information on that man's doings."

When Adion runs out, Mercury's eyes flash as he sees his 'quarry.' He chases Adion down the street, but does not follow him through the air. Instead, he 'rounds the building, making an obvious point of watching for the fleeing man to continue on.

Marius you quickly depart the bar, thinking far better of staying and asking for 'aid' with a bounty attached to it based on the murderous looks you're getting. Something (that being not having a WIS of 1) tells you these men would rather carve your corpse up and feed it to animals than aid you being an obvious SOLDIER affiliate and having just burst in and launched a spear into someone who was minding their own business. Especially the bar 'security' seems agitated, having just lost a paying customer. So, you quickly leave and thankfully no one pursues, apparently deciding to allow the situation to resolve itself.
Adion makes a very poor bandage, the wound wasn't so bad to begin with, but the bandage certainly isn't making much of a difference... maybe it's stopping some blood from dripping on the ground? You doubt it.
All the same, Adion is now on a rooftop, the people walking about seem surprised by your jumping athletics but otherwise ignore you and continue on about their business.
Mercury, no one seems to notice your patrolling or guarding as being anything out of the ordinary, in fact, one person even off-hand comments: "Mus' owe 'em money or sum'fin" and keeps walking.
Other than that, nothing else seems to have really happened... you suspect random fighting and brawling as well as local law authorities occasionally showing up to chase someone down is somewhat commonplace here. You also suspect that the natives being indifferent except when the law is 'angrily attacking' is par usual. The general mindset is likely one of: "Sure, haul him away so long as he doesn't owe me anything, I don't need him for something, and it doesn't cause a ruckus."
Marius manages to meet up with Mercury easily enough after leaving the bar.

Adion waits for a while basking in the brilance of his plan before it occurs to him that it might not be working as well as he hoped. As soon as that thought crosses his mind Adion takes at least the next hour picking apart the holes in the plan, such as the spear wound. After that Adion jumps down and roams the alleys as if he is looking for something and trying, poorly, to remain hidden.
Untill he hears word that the plan is a failure from someone else, Adion sticks to the lie and tries to look suspicious.
