Just in case being manhandled by a stormer isnt enough to shut him up, Kt'rr leans in to him, and says in a low voice:

I'm not so good at questioning people, so I'll stalk silently through the shadows and move as close as I can to the end of the corridor those two were standing to see what it was they were guarding.

I'll also see if there's anywhere Deject can place cameras for us to observe the opening remotely, with tactics.
Once I've had an eyefull I'll retreat back around the corner with the others.

Eraser grins and draws one of the sharper looking knives out of a wrist sheath...

Eraser runs the edge of the knife against his armour with a long scraping noise and grins at the guard

Intimidation: 10,9,+5 Total:24

The guard who is coherent enough to understand whimpers quietly, a pool of liquid forming at his feet. Both are dressed in what can be best described as rags, and if you didn't know better you'd think they were cannibals. They both have similar sloping brows and bad teeth. Despite his obvious terror (and pain caused by what is possibly a fractured cheekbone), the youth stammers his answer.

As he spills the beans, Grimme peers through the doorway. Beyond it is the bottom of the forge, which has a primitive camp established there out of junk and pigskins. It very much resembles a cannibal camp, with even children running around. Groups of the dirty, feral Downtowners cluster around their crude shelters (although the rain can't get this far below ground and it is actually relatively dry aside from a few streams of filthy and polluted water which fall from the ceiling high above and drain off into a hole in the centre of the room), or around a couple of modestly sized bonfires with unidentifiable meats cooking on them. On the ground floor there are two entrances. One is vehicle sized, the other human sized, which is the one you're looking out of. Neither appear to have working doors. About 5m above the ground are a couple of smaller openings at opposite ends of the room which have makeshift walkways build up to them made from junk. The large ground entrance also appears to be guarded by young gang members armed with primitive weapons, but nobody in the Forge seems to be paying any attention to the doors. Other than the two entrances are two walkways, which are 15 and 30m up the forge, and a 5m diameter hole in the centre, leading down into darkness.

Among the Subterraneans you spot one sat apart from the others in a small, open lean-to on the side of the room who has a very familiar smile. He seems to be staring vacantly into space.

Do I think that I can stay hidden and keep an aim on the guy with the grin, with that tactics roll, shall I make another?
If I can keep concealed then I'll start aiming at the guy's legs starting now, if shit kicks off then I want to incapacitate him, rather than kill him.

We should let dour know he's here, too.
Can we get any info from the cannibals about our target?

Yeah I'll ask our captive here what he knows.

Do we have a picture of him? I thought we just got told the most recent victim got done by a subterranean.
I guess any picture with a cut-up-smile will do though.

I have a device that takes pictures called a camera.

Aren't I the only one who saw him? :o
Unless.. UNLESS.. ARE WE ONE AND THE SAME?
HAS ANYONE SEEN US IN THE SAME ROOM TOGETHER?

pictures called a camera?

I always thought pictures was a good name for pictures.

Didn't Deej take/have some pictures of some victims with the smile?

I would think it would be trivial for me to get a picture from the same spot as Grimmie.

Fair point, you are a shadow wrapped in a veil of darkness.

Depending on your kit he might also be able to get a screen grab of a camera (if you have one, most people do) and download it from his helmet to his Oyster. Either way, the guy looks at him and nods.

Subterranean wrote:I know him. Raider. Don't know why he's looking like that.

Grimmie, you reckon you could get an aim from here without too much risk. Nobody seems to be on the lookout particularly.

Kt'rr is going to manouver himself up nearish to Grimmie: Far enough away that he isnt going to be spotted/heard, but close enough to jump in and start shootin should things go wrong.

With the shoulder lamps off, obviously.

Grimmie gives a little frown.

Grimmie wrote:Don't dead the guy with the smile, Cutter.
We don't want you possessed with bad voodoo juju.

I'll continue aiming in my firing stance, I think I should be at full aims after a few seconds of this.
