Here's to hoping that the real test is 'Whichever one of you was smart enough not to leave a frackin' signature sample in our hands passes'. But ic, there's no way Satori's giving up a perfectly good stealth advantage without a better reason than 'No bureaucratic folderol, no money.'

Sign your name on a /form/? Satori thought surprisedly, feeling mildly taken aback even through his best efforts to retain proper detachment. Is this supposed to be a contracting negotiation or the Department of Motor Vehicles? If I must compete against others, then best I do it without revealing to them that I am even in the race. Which is hardly possible if I go down and wait in line. Satori remained quietly where he was. Besides, the larger man's threats are either nonsense, or else he represents an idiot. If this 'prize' is worth ten million dollars, then it is for the employer's own convenience that the fee should be paid to the man in possession of that 'prize', name scribbled on a piece of paper or not. And if they were irrational men? Then the conventional wisdom that a thing worth a great price to one man is often worth a substantial price from other men as well would be proven yet again. Still, before one could obtain a 'prize', one first has to know what and where it is. Satori settled back comfortably and kept waiting.

Stealth roll for my moving around again is: http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1419039 10 + 16 = 26 Stealth. As for Notice... hrm. It occurs to me that to save time and postage, I'll just take 10 on these Stealth and Notice checks for the occasional lookout tour until the meeting starts. And yeah, I dunno what Heridfel's going to go, but Satori /is/ a zen master, and he's going to wait as long as he needs to. Patience of a stone. No expectation.

At irregular intervals every twenty to thirty minutes, Satori left his perch to do a quick circuit of the upper floor, peering out the windows to see what might be occurring outside the building. In addition, it allowed him to stretch out and get some rest for his muscles. Even for a master such as himself, clinging to the wall was work. Still, if a zen master could not exercise fortitude and resolve when at need, then who could?

In what would be a highly uncomfortable and strenuous pose for anyone else, Satori perched in an upper corner of the room, muscles simultaneously tensed and relaxed by exotic breathing techniques and fingertips and toes bracing his full weight effortlessly against cracks and irregularities that a full scientific analysis would swear was physically impossible of supporting him. Quietly, he looked over the curious assemblage gathering below him.. I need to learn more about Freedom City's supervillain community if I am going to most effectively practice within it. I do not think I recognize any of these people. Turning his gaze away from the overt curiosities below, he then turned to a methodical study of the room -- lines of fire. Routes of exit. Possible choke points. He even closed his eyes for a short period of time, sensing with his ears and skin alone, straining to hear to the quietest noises that might reveal the presence of ambushers moving up outside, of others such as himself who might have chosen the path of spying on the meeting covertly instead of boldly walking in. If anyone else is out there, their stealth is commendable enough to have earned them their opportunity. Finally, he looked at the guards manning the door. Men often reveal their intent in their stances. If this were a trap of some kind, they would be wary in a different way than if they were merely doorwardens, moving differently, also trying to keep one eye out at all times for clear sight lines and a clear escape route. What do you know, little thorns? What does your master intend here? (edit) Satori nodded to himself. Normal watchfulness, but nothing suspicious. So. Let us wait and see. Satori shifted position slightly to where he could take a clean shot at wherever the speaker to this assembly would be standing and still have a clear escape route back up and out through the roof or through a side exit, and waited stealthily, his bow held in one hand but no arrow nocked.

Untrained Knowledge check -- have I heard of any of these people? http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1417408 10 + 1 = 11 Knowledge And, likely not! Also, Notice check... a lot of supervillains invited to sit together in a room by somebody they don't know can sometimes a police or superhero sting. Anything like that setting up? People moving into position? Exits looking like they could be blocked in a hurry? Something about the room generally screaming 'kill zone'? http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1417521 6 + 15 = 21 Notice The die roller does not like me today. Still, here's hoping whoever else might be sneaking up on his here isn't /too/ stealthy. (edit) Doh! Forgot to roll the Sense Motive check for the guards. http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1417531 14 + 15 = 29 Sense Motive

The standard equipment load as per the sheet. Mechanically, going to use Stealth and Hide In Plain Sight to ghost on downstairs, find a place to overlook the upcoming meeting, and get set up to hopefully do the dramatic Batman-style "I was here all along" reveal at an opportune moment later. http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1416702 13 + 16 Stealth = 29 Climb check not necessary, due to Super-Movement.

Satori looks around the attic, then walks noiselessly to the stairs. Focusing his mind on the correct meditative technique, he becomes as the still pool, as the drop of water that falls without leaving ripples. As quietly as a dream, he heads down the stairwell and, using another of his supernal martial arts talents to cling to sheer surfaces, leaves the steps behind for the very walls themselves, and the ceiling itself at need. Despite the lack of cover and the interior lighting, he still moves in such a way as to never draw the eye, as to be overlooked even while being seen, as he lurks in the corner high up near the ceiling and wall, moving down to where he anticipates he can gain a discreet overview of the room where the meeting is to take place...
