"Not really though I suppose the weak link would be on the receiving end." Rhea looked out a window. "I suppose its time for bait and switch. Heres my plan we disguise you or Jess here as my daughter and send a message to the council saying we are moving the coronation up a few days before the public announcement. We will send out the message in the usual manner and lay a trap sound good?"

"The thing is this way we'd only foil another ambush. Finding the spy could still be hard. Why don't we take this one step beyond.How many wargs are there in camp. Here's my take, we tell different companies about this announcement AND that Rune will be disguised as a certain hair color girl. Each company will be told a different color. When the ambush goes down we check which of us they'll be going after thus narrowing down from which company the rat is." Rikke sighed lightly "I still don't like the idea of fighting off an ambush. We could also use one of the abbandoned building around here as "It's the sanctum" and see which one gets raided in a similar fashion to the hair... like you know, we tell the boys after the attack sanctum doesn't have enough guards and needs to be reinforced, we move you to X locaction by the next days dusk"

"True but who would have as volunteers?" Jess spoke up "Ill do it and I can be the most convincing Rune of them all." Jess began to take shape letting her hair change color to pink and shrank in both stature and cup size till she was a near perfect copy of Rune. Topping it off with a two fox ears and a fluffy tail it was hard to tell the differences though Rikke noted Jess's eyes stayed their blood red color. "Gods above Jess if I didn't know better you could fool me."

"So I take it my diverging illusions or building plan is a no go?" Rikke giggled lightly and turned to Jessica "I don't think I'll get used to that ability of yours any time soon, Jess." she smiled at her companion and looked back to Rhea "If you want to flush out an ambush and try to catch and try to catch the spy in the act it's your call Rhea. Maybe he'll make a mistake and reveal himself in the sudden rush. But I say my plan would help if he was indeed careful." she turned to Jessica "And for that we wouldn't need little Runes appearance among us, atleast during the actual escort act"

Re: Who Rules the Ruins (Ubberific) GMed by ranger

"No I like your plan Rikke but we need some actual bait. If it is one of my boys then they know Rune almost as well as I do so our bait needs to be as convincing as possible. I also know of a good location to have our "Meeting" so no need to worry about that. We will need 4 decoys though after all the Wargs have 4 companies in Endus at the moment."

Re: Who Rules the Ruins (Ubberific) GMed by ranger

"Oh you want to take 4 routes?" Rikke leaned forward lightly "I was thinking we make ourself look like 4 similar looking girls with different color hair and go together. The one who is targeted will show which company was to be blamed, judging by the hair color." Rikke leaned right on back "But 4 escorts would give us a definitve answer, though ambushes shouldn't be taken lightly. I don't want to risk the boys getting hurt if the attackers are particulary deadly and ferocious, but with you, me, Jess and... *she looked to Sylphie... well she wasn't really fit for this task was she?* someone else. No attacker would survive or even bruise the boys." the heroine looked to Rhea "You're the commander Rhea, I won't make calls with your boys health on the line."

Re: Who Rules the Ruins (Ubberific) GMed by ranger

"The only problem I see with your plan Rikke is if I had been given the juices info of such a plan I wold make sure to kill all the decoys just in case." Rhea thought a moment. "The boys can take care of themselves Rikke most a veterans." Rhea though a moment longer when her ears twitched. "Oh why didn't I think of this before! Rikke we set up 4 locations for each company. Taking a small group of me, you, Jess disguised as Rune as well as your slimy friend here. This way we can telport to each locations to see where the ambush happens."

Re: Who Rules the Ruins (Ubberific) GMed by ranger

Rikke clapped with joy "With slightly later times for each location we arrive at! Ofcourse! We'll visit and pass each point and the one that pops the surprise is the company we're looking for!" the plan was solid, the girls would arrive at the set locations in full force and will be able to tell which company is infiltrated! "One last detail and lets get this show on the road. Why is Rune arriving to said locations?"

"We received a threat on her life and are moving her to a new safe house." Rhea nodded at her plan jotting down some notes. "Ill work up the orders and what not after a go over the map. Any other ideas?"

 

[Ubberific]

Re: Who Rules the Ruins (Ubberific) GMed by ranger

Rikke tapped her finger on the table she was leaning "We could use some sort of powerful demon banishment item or spells in there. If we're looking to be ambushed we better be very well prepared for it... Otherwise, hopefully with the four of us the ambush won't stand a chance." Rikke smiled at Rhea and gave the go ahead to get this plan rolling whenever Rhea deemed fit.

Re: Who Rules the Ruins (Ubberific) GMed by ranger

"Ill see what Saul might have on hand." Rhea looked over at the documents and some of the many maps of Endus. "Ill send word when everything is ready." With that Rikke and crew where left to their own devices. "So what now Rikke? Maybe we should go check up on Gruff and our kitty friend."

 

[Ubberific]

Re: Who Rules the Ruins (Ubberific) GMed by ranger

Rikke turned to Sylph "We should bring Sylphie with us" she grinned at her companion "Let's go find her a disguise!" even if Jessica objected Rikke would lead the two back to their room and start working on a way to have the slimegirl join them in public...

The rogue closed the door behind her and turned to the two "Alright, lets get started..." she giggled lightly and walked up to Sylph inspecting her "Now then... which look should we go with." "Rikke..." "Shu-shu-shush... Hm~..."
Sylph just eyed the proceeding curiously she didn't really know what was going on here.

"If we just put a hooded cloak on her and maybe a slight mask, she should appear like a travelling orphan girl. Right?" the heroine turned to Jessica to finally hear her input.

Re: Who Rules the Ruins (Ubberific) GMed by ranger

"Rikke she can't wear cloths they would just sink into her." Apparently Jess was settling on being a spoil sport. "Maybe she could reprise her role as slime puppy?" It wouldn't be a bad idea though far less fun.

 

[Ubberific]

Re: Who Rules the Ruins (Ubberific) GMed by ranger

Rikke harumphed at the spoil sport attitude "Wait wait..." the heroine turned to Sylph "Sylphie, can you make yourself um... harder... um.. less goo... more like Rikke skin." the rogue touched her skin a few times showing it's "non-goo-ish" features "And at any rate we just need to find a material that doesn't sink through. Something water or liquid resistant." she nodded firmly at her companion.

And speaking about puppies Willow wiggled his way from under the bed yawning sleepily, looks like the pup had a quick nap while the girls were off doing there thing.

Re: Who Rules the Ruins (Ubberific) GMed by ranger

Sylph tried and tried and she started turning green from the effort but to no avail she was just to much goo. Turning a deep purple Sylph frowned and looked sad. "Sorry Rikke can not do."

 

[Ubberific]

Re: Who Rules the Ruins (Ubberific) GMed by ranger

Rikke smiled warmly "That's alright Sylphie. We'll just need to find you some special clothes to wear" she nuzzled the goo lightly on the top of the girls head, the heroine was sure slimes can harden certain parts of their body. Slimegirls sometimes use this to great effect when raping other creatures, though to what extent Rikke wasn't sure.

"Well I guess that's two things we should check up on. A specialty tailor and our little duo of loves." Rikke smiled warmly at her companion, with Willow right there by her feet wiggling his tail energetically "Yes you can come too Willow. But no more free backpack rides for you mister." *bark!* the rogue snickered lightly at the adorable pup and looked to Sylph "Sylphie, Rikke and Jess are going away for a little bit. We'll be back soon, feel free to ask for fruit for 'yums'. And remember the rules."

With that Rikke, Jessica and Willow would proceed to look around town to somehow somewhere find something that's water proof and could be used for Sylphs cloak.

As things seemed to be going it looked to be a little before sunset as the trio went about their business. It seemed the market was closing up maybe if they hurried they could find an outfitter or tailor. However it might be better to wait for the next day.

 

[Ubberific]

Re: Who Rules the Ruins (Ubberific) GMed by ranger

Rikke was very well aware just how spiteful merchants can be at the absolute last second customers... then again she was an absolutely stunning last minute customer and a very warm girl to boot! "Come on, let's quickly check up if we can find it." at the very least even if it was closed the girl would know where they could go for such needs later on.

 

[ranger]

Re: Who Rules the Ruins (Ubberific) GMed by ranger

Rushing quickly to the market Rikke indeed found many of the shop closing doors and moving stalls. Being the lucky girl that she was however she did manage to slip into a tailors shop before the door was locked. Inside she found a frail looking woman with very thick glasses her back hunched from years of being bent over.

"Jorce is that you? I already paid the protection money for this month just leave me be."

Re: Who Rules the Ruins (Ubberific) GMed by ranger

"Excuse me, time for one more innocent girl customer? Please?" she smiled warmly at the old woman. Looks like the businesses were indeed terrorised by the gangs around here, no wonder really. With the city in it's current form it was surprising people managed to live here properly.
