No.14391
>>14390"Who hasn't? The man was famous to a degree for the stuff he pulled.
There were an equal amount of people happy and sad to see him get caught."
No.14392
>>14391"Well… how crazy would it be to break him out?"
No.14393
>>14392"About as crazy as it gets.
Ragamont is the sort of guy they build special prisons for, and breaking in there won't be easy. Breaking out, even harder."
No.14394
>>14393"That means lots of fame, doesn't it? I wonder if we could lure all the prison guards away, maybe… by faking a prison break at another part. Plant some explosives at some wall where they keep someone they think might be high priority."
No.14395
>>14394"Or call up a sea monster to attack the walls while you're at it. Dead Man Headland is the kind of place you read about in story books - it's a narrow rocky outcrop leading to an island that gets submerged with the tide. The prison itself is mostly underground. Which means underwater.
I mean if we had a sea monster… or, like, knew how to breathe underwater, then maybe. But I don't think anyone here is a Hedge Wych."
No.14396

No.14397
>>14396"You caved in some clown's ribs by lifting your tail at him.
Ragamont once took down a military convoy almost solo because he got angry enough. And he's still in there. I think you might need a little more… kick before you can pull off a clean escape from a place like that.
On the other hand… if we don't go straight to the gallows, that'd be exactly where they'd send you for the assassination. So it may be worth keeping in mind."
No.14398
>>14397"I'm… sort of good at not being held in one place. Or so far, I always have been."
No.14399
>>14398"I can believe that. It's just hard to imagine anyone getting out from the inside without help from the outside, given the kind of people they keep there.
Like Ragamont. The man was a decorated knight who fought in a number of very real and very deadly battles. For any side who paid well enough. He had the uncanny skill to shrug off damage and rush the enemy with blind rage when psyched enough. He didn't really share how he did that, but given his occasional rampage among his allies, it seems like it could trigger accidentally. Maybe it was roses. Between all his weapons and armors, he always had a rose motif on it somewhere."

AND SO YOU ALL RETURNED TO NOSEY.
With Masque's broken mask and some choice samples from the House Arden job as proof, you arrive to prove yourselves as worthy.

>>14408"Taking Masque? We stormed in, not a lot of subtlety in it. Got a bit rough in the middle, but Patches came in with our defector and it was smooth sailing from there.
Next, the heist. We took advantage of a party, got some uniforms, went in and looted the place while the occupants were busy partying and drinking. Found Dio there first, so we took him with us. Got bad near the end when the partying got the guards coming, but we escaped in time. Not a single shot fired, clean and precise."

As for the other, overheard some stuff about it in an inn, flew over the fence, didn't see anything valuable so I snuck upstairs, picked the lock and found all the valuables inside. Once that was done, we packed up and flew away."
