So 

 

DC 30 - about the time the disappearances started there was a new clinic or something operating in the area.  No one really suspects it because almost everyone uses it.  Some kind of blood screening deal, but they pay twenty bucks for a single draw and you get a sugary snack afterwards.  Mobile thing with a van with some happy sun like emblem on the side to do the draws in then people go their own way.  You do not see the clinic in operation.

 

DC 25 - Homeless people vanish without a trace.  As a worse sign of foul play their stuff turns up in one of their usual stash spots like they left it there on purpose.  Robin will also get the name of a specific missing person she knew, a junkie named Jason, she knows a couple of his favorite places to hide out and get happy and can search them for Clues!  Kingsnake will uncover that there are two people talking to a lot of homeless people and are dressed like street people of some stripe.  However both of them smell way to clean to be actually homeless, Suspicious!

 

DC 20 - There is a new construction project on one formerly empty lot has been there a few months (longer than any disappearances or other signs of mischief)  it stands out because it has really tight security which given the value of construction supplies and the neighborhood could be explained but given everything is kinda suspicious.

 

DC 15 - Aliens!  Some assorted addicts and untreated schizophrenics claim to have been abducted by aliens and examined, probed, had chips put in their heads etc  lots of bright lights and like medical type stuff.  This is also not an uncommon response from these populations to being picked up by health services or the police so no one thinks much of it.

Stealth check: 17.  :argh:  My edits can't go through fast enough.

 

Woodsman's got +17 with Skill Mastery.  He automatically knows that Kingsnake is creeping about.

Nighthawk's whopping +4 Notice actually gives him a chance to be sneaky.

 

Once Kingsnake catches up with them, he'll tail them.

Alright Woodsmans Skill mastered Survival is high enough to find three spots the truck has stopped in the last day or so.  Though not for how long or in what order (a high enough roll might achieve that if AA wanted to try that instead).  DC 20 Search checks turn up a large number of donor cards for an 'Icarus Biotech' with a logo of a wing superimposed over a sun and the Motto "Reaching New Heights" in trash cans and the street nearby (DC 15 Knowledge: streetwise to ascertain why no one seems to be hanging onto the cards.) DC 25 search and a slightly wider search will turn up biohazard bags full of samples buried in dumpsters not far from each site, looks like a lot of what is collected is dumped.

Investigate DC 20 on the bottles reveals a withdrawal at least once on each vial, a puncture in the seal on top for withdrawal.   DC 25 Investigate reveals telltale markings they have been run through an automated analyzer of some sort, these likely discarded

 

DC 20 Knowledge: Life Sciences suggests they are looking for something very particular and discard samples without it.  There is space for a serial number that has not been filed out, running a scam on junkies and dropouts they could probably get away with much less if it was entirely faked.  Positives are likely marked for further analysis and retained.

Well in addition to the expected unpleasantness of the streets of the fens you get the antiseptic scent of a medical facility also as you would expect.  Buried deep under that however is an odd mix of the loamy scents of fresh turned earth, an acrid burnt something smell, and maybe Ozone.  Hard to pick out and too subtle to track by but it's there and prevalent enough to suggest the mobile lab spends alot of time somewhere where such scents would be common.

The legalese seems intentionally dense but at first glance at least seems to be exactly what it purports to be.  A great deal of guarantees of privacy and a short explanation that this is a clinical trial for a broad spectrum blood test machine.  In addition to the donor compensation mentioned you get the full blood panel report.  There does not seem to be anything sinister hidden in the documents beyond a warning that the test is not to be treated as medical advice and that if you have a concern it should be taken to your personal physician.  All pretty boilerplate and as she says there is an anonymous participation option where you leave off identifying information and just fill out demographic information.

DC 30 search/notice to detect the hidden cameras covering the street and door extensively unlikely to be able to approach out of their field of view entirely though there are approaches with less exposure.

DC 40 disable device check to get past the door without setting off alarms

Door and Frame are Toughness 12 materials.

DC 20 Search/notice to find a silent alarm wired to the upstairs clinic (DC20 Disable device to bypass it and DC20 Disable device to pick the lock on that door, or toughness 5 to bust it down.

Kingsnake and Woodsman can auto-pass those checks with Skill Mastery (assuming Woodsman is inclined to make those checks; Kingsnake is).

Nighthawk could make them on 14 with raw Int or 16 with raw Wis if she were so inclined.

Yeezus.  None of the PCs can make that check, even if they take 20 or use Ultimate Skill.

Kingsnake and Nighthawk can both take 10 to pass those checks.

Ok you all get a surprise round!  lets go ahead and get initiative out of the way if these guys don't get to act we'll use it for hte next group.

 

Guards 1d20+4=23

Scientist 1d20+0=19

 

Orokos shows its usual love for the pointless and villainous rolls...

 

It's surprise so you get a move or a standard action but not both.  They are not in melee range without reach.

 

They are all minions, clustered, and surprised however if either of you have a trick up your sleeve for goonsweeping in the 10 foot range.

15 Woodsman     1HP     Uninjured

Smoke Arrow will fill the room with smoke and blind everyone.  But the scientist may still be able to hit the alarm on his action next round.
