====== 2021-05-23 Rescue the Girl ====== ++++ Should we stay or should we go now? | We are discussing if we should go rescue MirabellaMicari from GrimaniniTheBastard (son of DogeGrimani)? AmbrosioTornelli reads a chart for the situation. We are in a time of conflict. Our actions lead to adventure and better reputation. We agree to go for the girl. ++++ ++++ Making Plans | We are thinking of having GiucamoTarantino challenging GrimaniniTheBastard to give us an in to check out the villa. ++++ ++++ Negotiation & Snooping | We meet with GrimaniniTheBastard . We offer some etruscan artifacts as Ante. He proposes we meet at the KeepersClub (and possibly duel there). We arrange to meet at his place to negotiate instead. I will be sneaky (with AmbrosioTornelli's help). VincenteTornelli gives me an amulet of air walking. AmbrosioTornelli makes me look like a house guard. We go to his Villa, sit down for a dinner and negotiation. I slip away. VincenteTornelli stalls in the negotiations. I find the room where MirabellaMicari is being held. It is filled with a magical miasma of darkness. I leave. I encounter a dark, mustachioed man (with the blackest aura I've ever seen!). I slip back into the dining room. We have negotiated for a night in the KeepersClub. ++++ ++++ She Sells Sanctuary | We decide to arrange for sanctuary for all of us before we free her. We go to the church. We try to talk ourselves inside. VincenteTornelli knows the priest! We ask for sanctuary. We will be hiding from one of the "great vipers" of the city. They agree. They give us razors (for tonsures) and robes. ++++ ++++ The Heist | We drop off VincenteTornelli and FilippoTarantino at a nearby house to cover us. I walk up, set the grappling hook, jimmy the shutters, and dispel the darkness within. GiucamoTarantino climbs the rope and accidentally knocks over a lamp. MirabellaMicari wakes up, and almost screams. "Mirabella, it's me!" GiucamoTarantino picks her up (she screams and struggles) and runs to the window. He tries to get her out the window, but has some trouble. AmbrosioTornelli climbs up and casts calm on her. GiucamoTarantino climbs down with her. We pick up the others and head to the Church. ++++
