Capture successful

[[Roll: 10]]

Runa slipped back up the building, climbing the ladder up to the upper level of the basement, then the stairs up to the kitchen, and finally the spiral staircase up to the upper floors. She knew where Jacobs' room was. All she had to do was creep up to his bed, then cover his face with this rag soaked in sleeping potion he'd used on the poor women in his basement.

The merchant had not locked his bedroom door, so slipping inside the room was easy.

Silently, Runa crept up to Jacobs.

With rag in hand, she approached him.

But just a few feet from his bed a floorboard creaked and the man shot up instantly.

Runa leapt forward, shoving the rag over his mouth, muffling his cries. Hopefully the guards outside wouldn't hear.

He was still only half awake, so based on the notes Runa had read it would only take about thirty seconds of breathing from the rag for him to pass out. He pushed against her with all of his strength, but he was a weak man, and couldn't **** Runa off of him.

After several long seconds, he went limp.

Runa sighed with relief, deciding to keep the rag on his face for a few extra seconds just in case, when he suddenly reached under his pillow and pulled out a glass bottle. He threw it against a nearby wall, and a huge pink cloud emerged.

Runa covered her mouth, but she couldn't afford to get off of Jacobs as the cloud swallowed the two of them up. All she could do was hope he wouldn't use anything too severe in his own bedroom.

After several more agonizing seconds, Runa was certain Jacobs was ****. She leapt back, out of the pink cloud, and stumbled and fell on her ass. Fortunately, she didn't make much noise. But her body felt stiff, and her mind was a bit more hazy than it already had been.

The cloud finally dispersed after a couple minutes, and Runa used some rope to bind the merchant's wrists and ankles together, and ripped off a piece of his pillowcase to gag him.

This should keep him out of trouble until the city guard arrived.

With that handled, Runa made her withdrawal.
