Hmm. Still just the guy in black. Could we scout around a bit more?
And leave the spot we just snagged, risk being seen, and take the chance you said we shouldn't take?
Shut it you two. Just make a decision.
No. We've got half an hour or so. Maybe a bit less. We can fight this out.
Do you ever stop and think that we're going crazy, talking to ourself and all that?
No. Because we're just thinking. It's not like we actually have a proper split personality or anything. This is just faked as a way for us to make better decisions and consider more viewpoints.
You know what? Sure. Let's scout and stay hidden. If it's just the bat guy, we could take him.
Actually, I was thinking of teaming with the guy. Or, better yet, snagging the drop from under his nose.
I don't think we could manage that, he, and everyone else, would see it falling.
Anyway, we can worry about that later. For now, I want to see who else is out and about.
I left my tree carefully. The bat guy - his black suit with the triangular points on the side of the helmet made him look like a bat. Sort of. At least in my somewhat weird thought process, anyway. I prowled around, looping around the area. Learning it. Still just the bat guy. I tried to keep him in my sight, or within a line of vision. I wanted to form a good mind map of the area, people included. I flinched a few times when he looked in my direction, before remembering he couldn't see me.
Hidden behind one of the hills, also milling about the camp, was another person. If I was more thorough before, I would have noticed the glaring blind spot. I kicked myself internally over it. Still, I could see both Bats and, whatever that other guy was - he had white hair, but didn't look old, so was it dyed? Eh, I decided to just call him Red for now after the colour of his clothes.
I was almost directly between the two of them now. Both were at other ends of the camp. I considered that if I could draw their attention to this spot, they might get distracted fighting each other creating the perfect opening for me to grab the prize. But sadly, my magic arsenal didn't have that level of spells. I could create fake sparks and fire, and the noise of a click.
I smiled to myself, thinking of a plan.
Let's set fire to that wooden shack... or what's left of it anyway. It's probably flammable enough.
Starting fires is always fun, but let's just get out quick and observe the two.
Getting out my flint and steel, I knelt down, still fully concealed, and tried to get some sparks to ignite the wood. When my efforts went to nothing, I then cut and scraped some small shavings off the logs, which lit much more easily. It was warm, not very windy, and dry. The fire would probably spread.
I put the flint and steel back into my back and quietly walked away, keeping a close eye on Bats and Red. My old spot wouldn't work for this, so I crouched down in a small dip in the ground about a hundred metres away, taking a quick swig of my waterskin.

Quote:TL;DR: Dane is still trying to stay invisible (Stealth, Suppression, 5 TEC). He set a fire in the camp in the hopes Batman and Dante would move towards it, notice, and then fight each other. He's now hiding and watching trying to keep both of them in his line of sight while waiting for the drop. Dane doesn't plan to go the the drop unless he's alone in doing so. Still at E2.
