The Last Oddetsey

EUDIAL, TWITCH, MARISA, VENGEANCE & EPSILON

The teleporters activate and suddenly there is a strange noise of whirring as if something isn't quite right, and then the teleporters fire off and the team vanish.

A few moments later they materialise outside the building where the siege is going on - a fairly unremarkable building, although the fact that one of the huge colossal armoured figures from earlier is still powering the shield nearby. There is a police cordon around the area, and a Pigeon in uniform appears to be directing the police there using a megaphone. Several of the tough officers are towards the front - a small three headed dragon, a weremoose and a cyborg Orang utan hold the front line. A sentient danish pastry with a sniper rifle is perched on a nearby roof.

However, more odd is the fact a blue and yellow combat robot seems to have dropped out of the teleporter onto the concrete behind them, and bizarrely seems to be acting as if it has sentience. A hardox rolling pin, a set of magical hairstyling combs that can create an hairstyle instantly, some elementally resistant adaptive paint (will shift to resist fire, electricity, cold or magic after attacked by each) and a small remote controlled American man.

AURELIA

The Sleazy looking demon cringes at the angelic presence, Aurelia seems to make his skin itch as he starts scratching furiously.

"What d'you want Miss, just offering to help this old lady I woz?" The demons tail begins to unsheath spines that were retracted into the skin up to this point.

CLEO & LELAND

Reading through the dossiers, they extract the following information:

- Ms Beezlebubetta "Bee" Triablos is a very attractive Demon of a similar type to Leland himself, she is known to be ruthless in business and currently single after splitting up from her long term partner.

- Mephistopheles is a typically rough half-demon, prone to scraggliness - he is less violent than many of his kind, but made his fortune as an adventurer using his pyromancy powers. He later returned home to act as chief of security for his half sister.

- Triablos Industries is the worlds premier supplier of Demonic infused technology - and have exploited the benefits of how easily demonic magic can produce heat effects to create environmentally (if not soul) friendly power sources for their items making them some of the cheapest items to run available on the market in most fields of electronics.

The Triablos warehouse does indeed have air ducts and sewers but it also lists Ms Triablos favourite Scottish Takeaway and her regular order (battered haggis with a side of battered irn bru batter), the address of an accountant who works for the company and a few other potentially useful information points.

Eudial rubbed her head. Teleporting clearly didn't agree with her... wait, what? Eudial gawked at the choice of officers. Even back home things just didn't get as weird as this. But she shook her head and quickly looked away...

...to suddenly glance at this appearing thing! What the?!

""Wh-what is this thing?!" cried the Witch.

Looking through the list of information, Gaunt was already trying to formulate the ideal strategy. Obviously it wouldn't do just go barging in asking for this Phoenix engine, especially not if he was dealing with a true businesswoman. It didn't really help that he had no real money to haggle with, but maybe there could be another way. The accountant listed in this profile might have some personal knowledge about Ms. Triablos and that was a better starting point. And hopefully she wouldn't be as resistant to his charm ability as Eudial had been. That was still annoying him. Gaunt hated not being able to easily manipulate peoples emotions when he wanted to.

He turned to the cat.

"We'll start off going to the company's accountant. If we're going to infiltrate this place we need to know more about it's inner workings. And if we can make a good impression on this fellow it'll be all the better later on."
