05-23-07, 01:39 PM		This would be a night of bloodshed. The Shadow was sneaking on the rooftops of Upper Merx. Zimram had confronted some serious resistance in the political circles of Gladius. The Shadow would take care of Zimram's problems. After this night Dr. Elmir von Peebles would cause no more troubles for the future Councilman Zimram Bastal.
Rauul

05-23-07, 02:39 PM		Sneaking along the rooftops, shadow to shadow, looking for the lay of the land and any info about Dr Pebbles personal habits, his coming and goings his Doctor practice.. All would be useful before the night is out, Fore tonight the His Death would have a meaning and strike fear into the hearts of those who oppose him!


Looking for his address and attempting to get any info about the guy from street people with local Knowledge+ bardic lore if possable.. even have a little gold (63.32 gp) to bribe with if needed :)
Abyssal Stalker

05-23-07, 02:57 PM		The Shadow heads towards The Happy Mayor, a tavern where he knows the councilmen like to gather for a drink. He scans the yard and spots Dr. Peebles's cart. The driver is sitting on the driver's seat, looking tired. The doctor is probably inside, sipping a drink or two with his fellow politicians.
Rauul

05-23-07, 03:18 PM		sneaking up to the Cart with the driver Scanning the area for more people, keeping to the shadows

Does the driver look like someone i can disquise myself to look like? and is there anyone else hanging around other carrage drivers ect..?


Kill the driver (if there can be no witnesses, drow arrow and cdg), and take his place(disquise at night) if there will be witnesses, then just go for the Drow poison snipe shot and put him asleep and stash his sleeping body down a sewer grate, the do the disguie thing drive the Doctor home(well to a secluded alley along the way) and then go from there.. I am not beyond killing a helpless driver..
Abyssal Stalker

05-24-07, 02:40 PM		The Shadow watches Dr. Peebles's driver chat with another driver. Finally the other driver leaves as his master comes out of the tavern. Right after the other cart leaves the courtyard, The Shadow let's an arrow fly.

"Ungh?" the driver tries to grasp the arrow sticking from his back, but falls unconscious. The Shadow quickly grasps the man's cloak and top hat. They fit him nicely. He has no difficulties in hiding the driver behind an empty barrel in a dark corner. He sits on the driver's seat an waits patiently. Finally Dr. Peebles comes out. He is a bit drunk and notices nothing. He just says he wants to go home and goes inside the cart.
Rauul

05-24-07, 03:25 PM		Drive the cart in the general direction of the Dr's home.. find a secluted alley and pull into and jump down.. cast sleep and pull rapier and shield..

Attempt to kill him with rapier..

if i start getting hurt (below 1/2) withdraw and heal with wand.. and continue
Abyssal Stalker

05-25-07, 12:48 PM		The Shadow drives the cart down the street. They reach an area that is quiet and he turns the horses to a side alley. He jumps down from the driver's seat. "What now?" he hears from inside the cart.

The assassin is faster and jumps down from the cart. He starts to cast a spell on the doctor. The doctor stumbles out of the cart and with surprising agility jumps to The Shadow with fists held high. Right before he manages to punch his attacker, he falls asleep. The Shadow takes out his shield and rapier. He giggles and drives the sword into the good doctor's eye and into his brain.

This had become a night of bloodshed. The Shadow lurks back to Zimram's house. Zimram relaxes in a nice warm bath.
Rauul

05-25-07, 01:20 PM		Shadow Ties the dead Gnome to the backside of the cart and stuffs a blood red rose in his Mouth, aims the cart to the rich section of town and shoots the horse in the backside to get it to run..

"Rot in Hell Doctor" Shadow saids as he heads back to his Room
