Almata: 3 +4 = 7
Lassie: 3 -3 + 1 (Specialty) = 0
Lassie may as well have been blind because she couldn't spot a damn thing. No tracks, no footprints, nothing. For Almata's part, she did get a better look of what's upstairs. A bathroom, two bedrooms and a closet for towels and toiletries.
As you turn on the terminal's communication function, you see the face of a middle aged man. He was wearing a black standard commander's uniform and had short grey hair with a well kept grey beard . "Do you read me? This is Yamamoto of the Defense Agency. Transmission code B0F67U" The man said, the code verifying this was a real transmission. Commander Yamamoto was the man responsible for helping to bring the Taimanin into the 21th Century with new technology and equipment along with government backing. "It appears that all of you have made it to rendezvous point. Where is Saito though? He was to meet you at the safe house as well." Suddenly you hear a voice from the ceiling. " That's because none of these professionals even thought of giving the place a once over." With that a section of the ceiling flipped as a raggedy looking man fell to the ground landing on his feet. He seemed to be in his thirties wearing a standard ninja outfit as his shaggy black hair covered his eyes. In his hands was a pinup magazine which he casually closed and put into the small sack on his back. "The ones that did look didn't really do a great job but A for effort and what not".
"Enough with the jokes Saito, as far a I'm concerned you're late to the briefing" The man named Saito seemed to straighten up once Yamamoto began to talk. "Saito has spent the most time in the Tokyo Kingdom. He will be acting as your liaison for the duration of this operation. He should be the first one to ask if you have questions." The Commander passed for a second and continued. "As you know the growth of demon activity in the Tokyo Kingdom has gone beyond anything we could ever imagine. Based on Saito's observations, there has been a large influx of high profile criminal groups and demons to the area in the past few days. We're close to determining what they're planning in the city. But for now, this is an excellent opportunity to eliminate some high level targets." You notice in the corner of the terminal two files get uploaded to the terminal. " I've uploaded two missions that I was discussing with Saito. He'll go over them in detail. I can't stay on for any longer least the signal be traced. Good luck" With that the transmission ended. Saito moved to the middle of the group. "Looks like we're going straight to work then" He said as he opened the files to discuss the missions.

Abductions In the Tokyo Kingdom
The file reads: There have been an uptick in abductions in the area. While that isn't unheard of in this area, there is significant evidence that demons with ties to a larger criminal syndicate may be involved. The abductions have all been of women in their early twenties to early thirties. More to the point, after their abductions they all appeared on the same site. "www.orcbangers.com" . We're still trying to trace the website to it's source.
"That's pretty brazen" Saito chimed in. "The site is really easy to find, it's practically the first thing you find when you search orc gangbang." Saito pauses to let that statement hang for a second. He coughs and continues. " It seems the abductions have been occuring in a small area around here" Pulling up a map he points to an area filled with apartment complexes. "I'll need a team to canvas the area and note anything strange. "

Assassination: Doki
The file reads: Doki, one of the leaders of the orc clans in Tokyo Kingdom is currently staying in The Westmount Hotel. While many orcs just work for who ever pays / feeds them, Doki organized a few orcs into a tight group. As the group grew they formed a company which lent out the orcs as cheap labour, bodyguards or just thugs for hire. They were eventually absorbed by a group known as the Red Mane and became their personal work force. Doki made a pretty penny from the merger and said to be on vacation somewhere tropical. But his return to the city is a ill omen.
Saito had a worried look on his face. " If their's one person who can rally a group of orcs it's Doki. He may be past his prime but he's still a key player in this town. Not to mention he'll be well guarded." The man seemed to be thinking for a bit. "This may be our best chance to take him out. Most of his personal bodyguards still haven't arrived. Before they arrive we may be able to take him out" He brought up a second map with directions to the Westmount Hotel, just outside the financial district
Mission 3:
The Information BrokerAfter reading the two files, Saito goes upstairs for a bit. When he comes back down he's dressed in a casual t-shirt and jeans. It looks a little strange compared to what he was wearing before. "I'd be happy to accompany any of you on your missions but I have an appointment of my own." He said as he hide a few weapons in his clothing. A standard pistol by his waist and a few Kunai along the helm of his pants. "Doki, the abductions, all these big shot demons appearing, somethings up. I know someone who might have a clue on what's going on so I'll be ...." He pauses. " On second thought I may need backup on this on. I need one of you to tag along. Preferably one of you that can look casual. "
Red Mane SideMei Feung didn't even react to Yumiko's leering. She remained composed as she left the room. Genghis for his part caught the body perfectly. He then nodded and walked away as if to acknowledge Manka's request. You catch a glimpse of his fists and notice they are covered in blood. At the very least you've solved the mystery of the dead body in the waiting room.
About 20 minutes pass until Mei Feung returns. "King will see you now" she says as she leads the group to the main room. As you move to the main hall you pass a beautiful man with long blond hair. He ignores most of you only stopping to speak with Mei. "Our business is done for today" He said elegantly. "Hope that our new arrangement means I get to see more of you". With that he took the secretary's hand and gave it a light kiss. Mei just yawned loudly for everyone to hear. "Pardon my rudeness, It's been a long day." She said trying to cover up her boredom with the beautiful man. Taken aback he turned around and left. "Now on to actual business. I must warn you that King may be in a ... dangerous state right now". As she opens the door, a large wave of demonic energy hits the group. It feels as if the very air is being squeezed from their lungs.

Constitution Check
Yumiko Oshima: 19 + 2 = 21
Hibiki Nakahara: 13 + 0 = 13
Zera Erthain Draken: 14 -1 = 13
Manka: 15 + 5 = 20
Izumi Kaitani: Natural 20
Despite the enormous pressure from the demonic energy, all of you remain standing. Hibiki and Zera start to feel a little wobbly but remain on their feet. Surprisingly it's Izumi & Manka who seem to handle this demonic assault the best. Just as quickly as it came, the energy dissipated leaving just a large office lines with bookcases. Each filled with all varieties of literature. There were a few chairs in front of a large mahogany desk. " Sorry about that, my previous meeting left me a bit excited."
You turn to the voice to see a small boy (
https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/211684 ... +blue_hair). "If you haven't already guessed it, I'm King" . The young man walks up to group giving them the once over. "I was right, wasn't I Mei? We can do a lot with a diverse group like this". Looking to his secretary, she simply nodded. King walked back to his desk and sat right on the edge. "Sit down, we have a lot to talk about". Once everyone was settled he started to talk. " If you haven't heard already, the Red Mane is about to make a big move. I'll share the details with you later but it's safe to say that it's our biggest undertaking yet." He paused and snapped his fingers. Genghis returned with a tray of water for everyone in the room. He also had a metal bowl with the gemstones Manka requested. It was a fine mix of rubies, emeralds with the rare cat's eye and tiger's eye.
King continued. "As such we will need additional assistance. You'll be handling some special jobs that I just can't leave to my regulars. I had Mei make a list of potential candidates for this little group I was making and narrowed it down to you." His demeanor seems too casual for a crime boss or a demon but here he was. " Now Mei Feung will be handling the group and acting as my liaison. Go to her with any questions. Mei walked to the desk to address the group "The project were planning will be announced soon so we won't have much time to wait. I already have three jobs that need to be taken care of.

Kidnapping: Ringo Katagiri"Have you heard of the name Kenji Katagiri" Mei said. " He's a rising politician that has been running on a platform of conservative values and had designated the Tokyo Kingdom as ..." "A putrid hive of scum and villainy. A black stain on this nation that must be cleansed" King said reading from a newpaper by his desk. Mei continued " Yes. Many other groups have already planned to retaliate against the Katagiri Family but we will be taking a different approach."
Mei handed the group a photo. (
https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/2087604?tags=ganguro ) " This is Ringo Katagiri, age 20. Currently plans to study law abroad. Before that shes going to be clubbing with a few friends here in the Kingdom. I need two of you to pick up the girl from the local club and bring her to the prearranged location. She will be at the Moonlight club" Mei preceded to provide the group with maps to the Moonlight Club and the drop-off point. "Oh and I want to keep this as low key as possible.

Guard Duty: Doki
Mei began to describe the assignment. "Doki and his company of orcs became a part of the Red Mane some time ago. Their part of the reason why we've been able to grow a such a rate. He was on vacation for the past few months but he's returned to lend us his aid for this project. If their's one person who can rally the orcs for this project it's Doki. However, most of his personal bodyguards still haven't arrived to his destination."
King stopped Mei to interject. "More then than, Doki is like a close friend and ally. We've both shed blood out in the streets together. Then there was that time we fucked our way through an entire whore house in a single night. I didn't think we could do it but we did. Ah good times" Mei coughed. "We will need you to guard him until his actual detail arrives, there's a car waiting downstairs for you to take you to the Westmount Hotel"
Mission 3:
Deal in the ChapelBefore being dismissed, Mei asked the group to wait a bit. "I have one last job that I'll be attending to personally. I'm retrieving some data from a weapons dealer. It's with regards to a new security system for our facilities as well as some armaments we might be able to flip for a profit. I already a few men coming with me, but if things go south I'd appreciate one of you coming with me. We will be meeting him at the chapel located at the west end of the isle."

Vehicle Roll: 16
You ram right into the back of the jeep in front of you trying to box you in. It spins out taking a few of the bikers with it. They continue to pursue you for another ten minutes until they finally back off. You would breath a sigh of relief if you didn't realize why the backed off. You had reached the checkpoint separating the Tokyo Kingdom from the rest of society.
Now the checkpoint on this bridge was tricky since it was always changing hands. One day it would be controlled by the government, the next it would be in the Red Mane's hands. Then it could be occupied by just some punks playing around. This meant the "Toll" to cross would change almost daily.
Today it looked like a random group of gargoyle demons were watching the checkpoint. "License and registration Ma'am" The guard said as if it cared about any of that. He then asked plainly "So what are ya carrying back there." You could feel the leering eye of the surrounding guards as they eyed your cargo and you.
