Meat Shield nods enthusiastically and gets ready to give chase, while looking over towards Mind to give the signal to go...

You don't know where the bandit leader went. Not for certain. You do know that the Serviles you recently killed were arrayed outside this building and Craze did smell blood in the area before you sprang your attack. You also know from Mind's thought thefts that this building is a gathering point for the Servile bandits. So Chips goes inside.

The interior is lit by candle and torches. There are crumbling interior walls. Serviles in leather armor and hoods are running around gathering up supplies in a chaotic frenzy of activity. They are grabbing whatever they can carry quickly and moving towards a room further in the building, None of them give Chips' presence a more than a glance before they resume their hasty flight.

Following the Serviles in their hustle Chips enters a fairly small, deteriorating, room. It lacks the stationary torches and candles of the hallways they have passed through on their way here. The room is only lit by that which the Serviles themselves carry in hand. The walls are lined with shelves and there are half dozen chests in the room. The Serviles weave between these chests on their way to a hatch in one corner of the room. A Servile stands at the mouth of the hatch ushering others down and urging them on. Chips is among the last to enter the room and it is to them that the Servile urging the others into the hatch speaks.

"Is there anyone else coming?"

The Mind
HP: 0, Fatigued

It kept watch through it's unseen eyes provided by Chip's thoughts, carefully relaying the details picked up upon by the stealthy creation. Whenever it felt an area was cleared enough for them to progress forward an amount, it'd prompt both it's Creator and fellow Creations.
Am I dead? Am I alive? The answer may surprise you!

Once Chips gave their answer the Servile at the hatch made a beckoning gesture. Encouraging the shapeshifter to move along. To get down in the hole. To follow the others into the dark depths below the earth. There was urgency in the Rogue Creation's imperative. Get out. Get away. Flee the Shaper's assault.

"Then get in. We need to be out of here before the Shaper arrives."

Craze
HP: 1
CND: -1 toughness


Craze follows closely with the group. Despite possibility of what the containers held, he wasn't the most capable fighter and staying back might get him killed.

At the lips of the hatch Chips finds a ladder that descends into a stone tunnel. Dots of light can be seen in the growing distance. Candles, torches, and lanterns held by the fleeing Serviles. After Chips and the last batch of Rogues they had seen enter the tunnel, the hatch is closed. All but the one that had spoken to Chips continue down the tunnel at a quick clip, while the singular Servile remains behind, their hand taking hold of a lever.


Mind, Meat Shield and Craze enter the building as the Servile and Chips depart into the escape tunnel. There are signs that the place had been lived. Discarded food, trash, and the presence of untinting. There are also so dirty boot prints leading to the room that Chips had entered. When you enter, you see a variety of storage items. Chests, chests, crates and shelves. But you do not see the hatch that Chips departed through.

Chips
HP: 1, LP: 0; Condition: Bruised x2

Chips pauses as the other leave down the tunnel. Waiting until they get far enough away so he can have a somewhat private conversation.

"Shouldn't I stay and back you up? The Shaper is no joke. And the ones serving him are dangerous."

Craze

"So, did we just lose Chips and leave him to fend for himself?", inquires Craze fairly naively. The whole deception didn't seem terribly fun. So, his interest in the mischief that could spawn from it was waning. Still, he looked for any traps or latches or signs of a trap door.

At hearing Chips speak to him the hooded Servile turns his head. The bandit's wrinkled snout scrunched up and his brow furrowed. His free hand rose to his mouth, a single finger held near his lips. The Servile then began waving his hand, motioning away from himself, down the tunnel where the rest of the Rogues had went.

Above, in the storage room, Craze flitters about the space looking at this and that. It is a very boring, dull space, with nothing shiny at all. Only earth color. Even the metal locks and hinges on the chests are dull. There is a musty, moldy, scent, and Craze's investigation of the room gets interrupted by a sneezing fit when he pokes his beak in a corner with a large green mold concentration.

Chips
HP: 1, LP: 0; Condition: Bruised x2

Chips whisper to the rogue. "There is something I need to tell you."

He moves closer to the man. Then Chip's appearance shifts back to his normal form, with thick skin and blade arm.

The latter he sticks into the rogue.

"I'm one of them."

Meat Shield
Hero Points: 4; Luck Points (Base 2): 0; Condition: Fine

Meat Shield also pokes about the storage room, quietly opening some of the chests and crates to see what is inside as they wait.

Though as that's worse than Craze's I'm going to guess they don't find much!
