On the prowl (Ithea)

[Merc]

Yes, Ithea will use her bracelet.

[Anastasia]

Hm? As you pass by, you see a strange ripple in the air near you. Subtle as anything, only noted by your beyond-keen eyes. Your arcane knowledge suggests this is someone under a powerful invisibility spell.

[Merc]

Can I make out more details with blindsight?

[Anastasia]

It's not showing up to it, which is quite unusual.

[Merc]

Ithea moves closer towards the invisible someone, moving as if she spotted something in a stall, and once closer enough, attempts to grab onto them without drawing attention to her actions in a noticeable manner. If she can grab onto them, she'll whisper a question, otherwise she'll see how they respond to the attempt to grab them and if they flee, if she can even attempt to chase after them just knowing that they're there and tracking the minute ripples she knows to look for now.

[Anastasia]

Ithea reaches out, grabbing the invisible figure on what feels like an arm. She can feel the creature's arm stiffen up, perhaps in surprise or in the intent to move. No immediate reaction by the people around you.

Whisper away, Ithea.

[Merc]

"That's a nice invisibility spell there. Care to share your reasons for it?" Ithea whispers in a pleasant non-threatening voice. Why its surely just a question filled with curiosity and no implied threats at any undesired answers!

[Anastasia]

"Let go!" A man's voice hisses, whispered right back. "They're looking for me. If you don't want to get involved, let me go!"

[Merc]

"Who's looking and who are you?" she whispers back. Pausing briefly, she lets go. "If you try and run without answering I'll chase," she warns. If he wants to stay hidden, he'll want to avoid drawing attention.

"Won't be very subtle about it either," she adds cheerfully.

[Anastasia]

"Bad men," Is all the voice says, before you can see the faint rippling moving ahead - yep, he's running full tilt.

[Merc]

Ithea follows! Since he answered, if slightly and partially, she tries to avoid drawing attention to herself as she tries to keep pace. "And your name? If you need help..." she starts to offer, curious about the mystery the invisible stranger holds.

[Anastasia]

Make a Dex check. You gain  +4 bonus for every 10ft above 30ft your movement speed is.

[Merc]

Speed is 40, so if someone can roll for me it'd be d20+7+11+1

The +11 is from Brains over Brawn.

Man, the steam pixie even delivers good rolls. Is there any economy she doesn't wreck?

The blur is fast and almost impossible to track. A normal person or even a normal hero would be hopelessly outclasses. But Ithea's vision is sharper than an eagle's and she is smarter than to chase. She cuts around and through several booths, avoiding crowd that would slow her down, and looping around and ahead. In time to get ahead of him and pounce, grabbing a hold of him at an intersection. You push a few people aside to it, feet landing with a metallic thump on the golden streets. Got him!
