((My first post! Couldn't find a good thread except this to introduce him, Kennen still needs to respond to me, and...yea.))
He has never been here before. Now this place feels like the Plague jungles again. Strange and easy to get lost but this time with furry yordles.
The Armordillo wiggles and trots on the streets of Bandle with his giant arms wiggling with each step he takes. With this free spirited Armordillo loose in Bandle, yordles who pass by him ponder with a ever burdening philosophical question that has plagued common prophets since his arrival: Why the heck is he here?
The reason is enigmatic as Rammus' mind.
He spots Fizz down at the streets and scratches his turtle head wondering why this little thing is here in Bandle. The mysterious and mute Armordillo had nothing to do; he decides to follow Fizz. "Hmm..." came out of Rammus' mouth and he follows Fizz with its curious eyes gazing at the fish and at the same time studying it, just to see where he will be headed.

Gragas's now stiff body was beginning to slowly shift down towards the edge of the rooftop. If the bindings of the scouts were not present, Gragas would have already have fallen off the roof onto the city streets. Luckily, however, all of the small movements he was making were insignificant.
Gragas was constantly giggling under his breath. He seemed to be in a state of delusion, as he did not acknowledge any of Rumble or Teemo's words. Due to the root that had slipped in his brew, all he could see were blurred colors, and he could hear just as little.

Fizz continues looking around the building, not seeing any open windows or doors on the side of the building. It would seem that the only way to get in unnoticed would be from the top. He chuckles, it would seem the yordles got something done well, even if they are easily distracted.
Then he notices Rammus in the distance. Blinking, he looks at the armordillo curiously. What was he doing in Bandle City? The silent armordillo did not seem the type to come and visit the most privacy-invading race on the planet, especially with how talkative they could. be. Chuckling, he waves at Rammus. Then, he hops onto his trident and uses it to get higher up on the wall of the building before starting to climb up it, grabbing his trident before moving up.
As he reaches the top of the building, he looks around. One single hatch... and it's closed. Hopefully... not locked. He would hate to have to break in to pull off a prank.

Gragas was suddenly sliding downward. Slow and bound as it was, there still was the danger of him falling and severely ruining road or the building. So Tristana took out the buster shot for a explosive shot. "Hmmm... Nope, too much" She said while taking a slightly smaller one. "Perfect!" She aimed it at the spot Gragas was sliding too, prepared to make sure he didn't fall to his death, or almost as bad, crashed with severe damage to the environment.

Rammus waves back before looking forward once again with his curious gazing eyes. Fizz...he's up there...doing something...
The armadillo wiggles his way into the town square leaving Fizz to be. Whatever is happening over there isn't normal, but then again...Bandle City has a silent Armordillo in the presence. Isn't that abnormal already?

Teemo eyes the fat man curiously, noting his mumbling. Something he'd made must have gotten him severely intoxicated. The scout made a mental note to have the scientists come check Gragas' body for any alcoholic beverages and check their contents, just in case he'd tried to sell it to some unsuspecting yordle...
Upon noticing Tristana readying her canon, Teemo motions for the other scouts to back off and then moves closer to Rumble.
"Hey, 'Bull, be careful! Trist is gonna see if she can shoot Gragas down, it seems, so I'm going to release the stakes when she fires. Just stand back alright?"
He smiles and salutes to the mechanic before moving closer to the edge of the building and peering down at the Megling.
"Hey, Trist! Gragas is still pretty bound up here so I'm gonna release him on your mark! Sound like a plan?"

At this point, Rumble was exceedingly irritated for two reasons, the first one being that Gragas interrupted his work in the setup of the defense system, and the second and more major one being that Gragas was paying exactly zero attention to the mechanic. Rumble hated being ignored, and his irritation clearly radiated from his one twitching eye and his writhing hands.
Rumble would have loved to push Gragas off the roof himself with his two bare and furious hands, but he restrained himself for two very obvious reasons, one being that Rumble was fully aware that Teemo and Tristana had everything under control (or so he hoped), and the other being that Rumble would probably get sued for human and environmental damage, for the mechanic possessed no license that officially granted him to push people and yordles off of roofs. Therefore, Rumble backed away and attempted to restrain himself as much as possible from performing any violent actions.
"YA BETTER GET HIM OFF OF THE ROOF SOON!" Rumble yelled towards Teemo and Tristana, while shaking a fist in the air for no apparent reason.

Tristana nodded and shouted at Teemo "See if you can get him down, I'll make sure he lands okay, or was that what you meant? Hmm, maybe the shot Wasn't large enough... Gragas would be fine bouncing up a little after all... Tristana changed the shot once again, taking the most explosive in her bag.

Luckily, as Fizz nears the hatch, he notices it is open. A stroke of good luck never hurts. He silently opens it and slips inside the facility, hanging from the edge of the hatch while he looks at the place below. Seemed like it was lunch break for the guards, since there was no one in sight. Or were the Yordles trustful enough to not guard their water supply? Who knew.
He makes his way down to the floor, being about 3 stories up still. He starts to look around the facility to find the water supply itself, following the pipes around. After following them for a short while, he realizes that he had gone the wrong direction and was following the pipes out of the facility. He slaps his face with his palm and turns around to the other direction. Hopefully, Gragas could keep the Yordles distracted for a moment longer...

Teemo nods to Tristana and gives her a confident smirk.
"He may be big, but I'm sure we can lower him down. Just keep the ground clear and be ready in case something comes loose okay?"
Without waiting for a response, the scout motions for each of the others to grab a rope as he himself goes over and ties the ends around various limbs on Gragas' body. He then takes the final rope and moves back so that each scout was equidistant from the large man, and on his signal they all pull out their stakes, sliding a few feet from the immediate lurch. Gragas would slide up to the edge now, gravity working against them as the four little yordles hold on tight and slowly slip closer to the edge as Gragas makes his descent.

Rammus soon makes it into one of the gates of Bandle City. He was supposed to go to the town square, but a short pause and an unknown thought prompts him to go to the gates. His unmoving, ever gazing eyes look upon an obese person up on the rooftops...
Gragas!? Maybe the yordles are playing tricks on him. There is absolutely no way that he could be here! He rubs his eyes and blinks three times, hopefully that this illusion is going to go away. He looks up on the roof again aaaaaaaand...
Gragas is still there, now tied by several yordles trying to pull him down. He shifts his eyes (but so slightly that looks like they never moved) to see Teemo leading and Tristana armed and ready. Besides the two yordle champions is another hothead Mohawk champion. What's Rumble doing here? The two are on the roof...but Tristana is on the ground. Heh...Maybe he can get some answers.
He wobbles near to Tristana. The Megling Gunner would see a gigantic shadow form in front of her and if she were to turn around, she would gaze at a smiling Armordillo looking down at her with curiosity.
((EDIT: I just realized the epic fail I'm in...))

Rumble was starting to get impatient. His arms were crossed and he was tapping his foot irritably on the roof. He was about to shout at the scouts to hurry up, until he caught view of Rammus looming over Tristana.
Rumble put his palm to his forehead in confusion. What was Rammus doing here? What was with the sudden appearances of Gragas and Rammus? This was certainly turning out to be a very strange day.
Rumble was too perplexed to shout out at Tristana to watch out for the armordillo, so the mechanic laid against the dish and waited for the scouts to finish the job.
Combined with the strength of the alcohol and the slow pull of the ropes tugging him down to the ground, Gragas's eyes began to slowly close. Gragas was attempting to hum a small tune to himself , but the lull of the gravity working against him gradually rocked him into a deep sleep.
If anyone knew Gragas well enough, they would know what was to come next. The gritty sound of Gragas inhaling through his nose echoed throughout the city. After a moment's pause, the rush of sound came

Fizz finally reaches the right end of the pipeline, finding the water supply. Chuckling he pulls out the cask of Sobriety Smasher from his back, way smaller than Gragas' barrels, but large enough to hold enough of the brew for this need.
He opens the cask, and simply pours the brew into the water supply, causing it to become heavily alcoholic due to the root Gragas had added to the brew, yet watered down enough by the water in the supply to be hard to notice. Now it was only a matter of time before the city would loosen up... a lot.
Laughing, Fizz makes his way back up to the top of the building and looks over to the direction he came from, starting to make his way to where Gragas was when he last saw the Rabble Rouser.

Things were going well with the lowering, each scout steadily moving towards the side of the roof. Then the snore came. It wouldn't have been so bad if the smell of Gragas' breath wasn't so thick with alcohol. One of the scouts had to cover his nose it was so bad, and he ended up slipping for just a moment. For all of two seconds Gragas was in a free fall as one of the ropes loosened quite a bit, but they caught him again. Just a little longer and he would be safely on the ground.
