You open up one of the folders.

"Oh my." <i found out where they're getting the red death from...its a client in the chalodian northern sector.His name i->

you hear footsteps and crawl underneath a desk.

(Guard #1) "siiiigh...well this party blows."

(Guard #2) "aye but were getting paid good gold."

(Guard #1) "atleast the music isnt half bad..."

(Guard #2) "they play better at the saloon mate."

(Spades) "yeah i agree plus there all snooty."

(Guard #1) "yeah i know ri- OH BLOODY FU- "

You knock them both out.

<crisis adverted.>

[Koali]

<Crisis? What? What happened?>

[aceofeagles]

<oh it was just the in laws coming over. its okay now.>

you ransack and grab everything from the vault.

<alright guys its show time now i have to get close to the condese and get in her mind>

you slip into the main entrance room and go into the ball room.

[Koali]

<Once we find out who put the hit on you, should we just leave with a bang?>

[aceofeagles]

<too many civilians.......... However there shall be fireworks when we leave. >

[Carn]

(Carn) mentally "Again, leave that stuff to me." sees the Baroness walking over and straightens his jacket, out loud "Baroness Condese, on behalf of the Anglean Republic, happy birthday."

(Condese) "Thank you, I was, surprised to hear that the Republic was sending one of their officers."

(Carn) "The Senate wishes to make better relations between our factions." feels a pressure on his mind, and realizes she is probing him, sending a touch of static electricity to distract her, he manages to conceal vital information within time

(Condese) "Tell your Senate, we appreciate the gesture." walks away to other guests 

[Koali]

"Another drink, Mr. Carn?"

<I have no idea what you just did, but nice save.>

[ShadedExalt]

THAT BUTLER IS DYING

<I am going to have a look around, see I my contacts are here.  If so, I'll have Carn mark them and see if we can't get their help.  Of course, I could always talk to the condesce and put a round through he skull...>

*Starts to check for familiar faces, wandering away from the group while sipping cider.*

[Carn]

(Carn) <Sent a tiny shock to distract her, she can't probe full force without being completely obvious. A normal person would not have noticed it, I'm not normal. The shock allowed me time to conceal vital info, for instance what the Butler and I can do.> a dance number begins playing, and guests are going over to waltz, holding out his hand to Ingur "May I have this dance?"

(Ingur) taking his hand and smiling "You may."

The couple goes over and begins to dance, and surprisingly, Carn is rather light on his feet, despite his size.

(Carn) <Spend enough time fighting on a heaving ship deck, and in closed passages, you learn to move well.>

[Koali]

"Ah, simply splendid! You know, Lady Condese, I've never seen them dance before."

[Carn]

As the couple makes their circuit around the dance floor, it gives them a opportunity to survey the room.

(Carn) <Some guards in the upper balconies. And near the doors, and server entrances. Sabres and pistols down here, some of the upper floor guards look like they have rifles. Impromptu snipers if needed is my guess.>

(Ingur) <Only a few of the guests have swords, most lean on the ornamental side. More guests have knives, some also look like they have pistols concealed in shoulder holsters.>

 

[ShadedExalt]

<I've found a contact.  From what visible weapons there are, what's the general tech level?  Flint?  Lever?  Single, double action?  Semiautomatic?  Automatic?  Ornamental swords are worse than useless, they won't be a threat.  Look for people especially good at dancing that also have a legitimate sword.>

[Carn]

(Carn) <These are nobles mostly. Bluebloods don't like to dirty their own hands. There appears to be only one man with a sword and looks like he knows how to use it.> broadcasts an image a a gruff middle-aged man <I actually know of him. Baron Straud Von Kringer. He rules one of the northern most baronies. Considered on of the most surly and aggressive Barons, making him one of the least popular among his peers. However he is openhanded and fair to his subjects. He's a possible ally if things get ugly and we can expose her.>

(Ingur) <The gun technologies are single action pistols. The rifles are bolt action, and those have long bayonets too. The second and third story guards look the more dangerous. Some of them seem to be wearing armor.>

[Koali]

<So, how long do we get to keep partying? This'd actually be kinda nice, if we weren't afraid of being killed. Well, if I weren't afraid of y'all being killed.>
