- [2012-11-15 18:18:07] <Falconis> WHEN WE LAST SAW OUR *cough* HERO *cough*
- [2012-11-15 18:18:18] <Feeling_Flaky> (Crowd boo)
- [2012-11-15 18:18:28] <Falconis> He robbed Cobbler and sons of a tidy 30k in gold
- [2012-11-15 18:18:33] <Falconis> no small sum to be sure
- [2012-11-15 18:18:49] <Falconis> what shall he do with this newfound wealth
- [2012-11-15 18:18:56] <Falconis> we tune in now to find out
- [2012-11-15 18:19:06] <Falconis> (scene incoming)
- [2012-11-15 18:19:41] <Falconis> (man I am a horrible logger)
- [2012-11-15 18:19:46] <Falconis> (anyway)
- [2012-11-15 18:20:10] <Grail> (I'm not sure if I'm awaiting a starter or not)
- [2012-11-15 18:20:46] <Falconis> IT IS MORNING IN THE RISING ROOM, a fact that is made perfectly clear as Phineas sweeps open the thick curtains, letting in the bright glow of the sun
- [2012-11-15 18:21:10] <Grail> Hadrian covers his eyes from the blearing sun
- [2012-11-15 18:21:22] <Grail> Wipes the dust from them
- [2012-11-15 18:21:26] <Grail> And scratches his head
- [2012-11-15 18:21:28] <Falconis> [Phineas]"Good morning master Sweiss. It is the hour of rising."
- [2012-11-15 18:21:48] <Grail> "Has my cousin returned?"
- [2012-11-15 18:22:39] <Falconis> Phineas, as ever in a tidy suit, walks to the side of your bed, bearing a tray covered with assorted fruits and a tall glass of some fruity smelling drink.
- [2012-11-15 18:22:53] <Grail> Fruit!
- [2012-11-15 18:23:07] <Grail> Oh man Hadrian was wondering where they kept that stuff
- [2012-11-15 18:23:29] <Falconis> [Phineas]"I'm afraid not," he answers somewhat wearily "He is scheduled to return this evening but his...duties sometimes go longer than expected"
- [2012-11-15 18:23:47] <Grail> He looks around, notes the lack of sophisticated people he'd need to impress and starts nomming
- [2012-11-15 18:23:57] <Falconis> DELICIOUS FRUITS
- [2012-11-15 18:24:05] <Grail> All over his face
- [2012-11-15 18:24:54] <Falconis> [Phineas]"A bath master Sweiss?" The tiny man asks
- [2012-11-15 18:25:20] <Grail> "That sounds wonderful."
- [2012-11-15 18:25:30] <Grail> He palms a peach
- [2012-11-15 18:25:33] <Grail> "What*MUNCHMUCHMUCH*of*CRUNCH* the people of Minervca? Have they started coming in yet?"
- [2012-11-15 18:26:25] <Falconis> Phineas nods and glides over to the other side of the room to the sizable brass tub and begins preparing it.
- [2012-11-15 18:26:26] <Grail> Minerva*
- [2012-11-15 18:28:44] <Falconis> [Phineas]"It does not appear so sir, though I would not expect to see such for a few days yet. Your own arrival was timely in a manner I doubt many could mimic. My master seemed very interested in the method if you would be willing to part with it."
- [2012-11-15 18:30:11] <Grail> "If I tell my brother he'll learn about it in person."
- [2012-11-15 18:30:29] <Grail> Hadrian finishes his meal as he sips down the fruit juice
- [2012-11-15 18:30:46] <Grail> And waits for Phineas to finish preparing the bath
- [2012-11-15 18:30:51] <Falconis> The juice is thicker than you expected, rich and tasty
- [2012-11-15 18:31:17] <Falconis> Phineas nods and dips a finger in the water. He nods and then steps away from it.
- [2012-11-15 18:31:41] <Falconis> [Phineas]"Scents, master sweiss?"
- [2012-11-15 18:32:25] <Grail> Hadrian considers whether or not he'll be stealing anything today, if he does he doesn't want any scents on him
- [2012-11-15 18:32:34] <Grail> Decides today will be a scouting day
- [2012-11-15 18:32:55] <Grail> "I'll take coconut, dash of something tart too."
- [2012-11-15 18:34:47] <Falconis> The man nods, and rummages about in a large suitcase by the foot of the bath. After a moment he produces three powders which he sprinkles in the water.
- [2012-11-15 18:36:04] <Falconis> [Phineas]"Will that be all sir?"
- [2012-11-15 18:36:49] <Grail> "It will."
- [2012-11-15 18:37:11] <Falconis> The small man with the magnificent beard bows and excuses himself, shutting the door softly behind him
- [2012-11-15 18:37:27] <Grail> Hadrian throws off the covers
- [2012-11-15 18:37:34] <Grail> And starts disrobing
- [2012-11-15 18:37:55] <Grail> Out of his underwear he pulls out a giant sack...of gold and sets it by the tub
- [2012-11-15 18:38:25] <Grail> Grabs that fancy little hourglass and sets it down too
- [2012-11-15 18:38:27] <Falconis> *clink*
- [2012-11-15 18:38:32] <PriceisMagic> (He stuffed 30K gold down his pants?)
- [2012-11-15 18:38:35] <Falconis> *CLUNK*
- [2012-11-15 18:39:00] <Grail> Times himself a little bath for thirty odd minutes
- [2012-11-15 18:39:07] <Falconis> wait, did you set with the sand to the bottom or t- ah k
- [2012-11-15 18:41:01] <Falconis> You set the hourglass down with a loud CLUNK, that echoes through the rising room
- [2012-11-15 18:41:42] <Falconis> The sand begins running down through the odd swirls in the crystal, trickling into the lower chamber
- [2012-11-15 18:42:01] <Grail> Scrub a dub dub, Hadrian in the tub
- [2012-11-15 18:43:03] <Feeling_Flaky> (Thanks for the gru-no wait)
- [2012-11-15 18:44:05] <Falconis> sec
- [2012-11-15 18:45:25] <Falconis> that was phone
- [2012-11-15 18:47:32] <Falconis> You scrub and scrub until you are thoroughly scrubbed and squeaky clean
- [2012-11-15 18:48:23] <Grail> Gets dressed up
- [2012-11-15 18:48:24] <Falconis> the sand in the hourglass still runs, only about quarter of it gone
- [2012-11-15 18:48:41] <Grail> Stick the hourglass in a bag
- [2012-11-15 18:48:48] <Falconis> is it still running?
- [2012-11-15 18:48:54] <Grail> Yeah, sure.
- [2012-11-15 18:49:03] <Falconis> the gold too?
- [2012-11-15 18:49:13] <Grail> It will have to run one direction or another unless he sets it on its side
- [2012-11-15 18:49:18] <Grail> Grabs the gold
- [2012-11-15 18:49:35] <Grail> Distributed throughout many, many pockets
- [2012-11-15 18:49:50] <Grail> Time to step towards the market
- [2012-11-15 18:50:02] <Falconis> you are in the market
- [2012-11-15 18:50:17] <Falconis> quite suddenly
- [2012-11-15 18:50:27] <Grail> Yay
- [2012-11-15 18:50:42] <Falconis> in front of the exotic wares dealer's stall
- [2012-11-15 18:50:55] <Grail> Hadrian is going to check on the prices of cheap gruel, blankets, and other such stuff
- [2012-11-15 18:51:00] <Grail> That's...weird
- [2012-11-15 18:51:38] <Falconis> and when I say 'quite suddenly' I mean, as soon as the thought crossed your mind, you were there
- [2012-11-15 18:51:59] <Grail> Hadrian checks himself
- [2012-11-15 18:52:12] <Grail> Does he still smell like tarty coconut?
- [2012-11-15 18:52:17] <Grail> Also his stuff and gold
- [2012-11-15 18:52:20] <PriceisMagic> (Magical loot for all!)
- [2012-11-15 18:52:39] <Falconis> why, yes, yes he does
- [2012-11-15 18:52:49] <Falconis> and he still has his stuff and gold
- [2012-11-15 18:53:10] <Grail> Hadrian looks around at the stall
- [2012-11-15 18:55:29] <Falconis> The stall is stacked with exotic wares, knives, silks, jewelry, the works. None of it looks like it came from round here. The stall owner has his back to him, rummaging in some bags.
- [2012-11-15 18:55:55] <Grail> Is the amulet still there?
- [2012-11-15 18:56:02] <Grail> The one Hadrian stole and sold?
- [2012-11-15 18:56:08] <Falconis> no
- [2012-11-15 18:56:21] <Grail> Hadrian keeps walking then
- [2012-11-15 18:56:33] <Falconis> k
- [2012-11-15 18:56:40] <Grail> He's looking those prices I mentioned earlier
- [2012-11-15 19:01:26] <Falconis> It takes him a while to find out, mostly due to stall owners still being in the process of setting up, but you can get some really cheap blankets for 5 gold a dozen
- [2012-11-15 19:02:11] <Falconis> gruel ingredients (assuming water and not milk) for 10 gold a serving (recommended serving size)
- [2012-11-15 19:02:20] <Falconis> I can list by bag and such if you want too >_>
- [2012-11-15 19:02:44] <Grail> Uh just tell me how close I am to being able to buy out all the supplies I need for my plan
- [2012-11-15 19:03:44] -->| Present_Flake (cgiirc@967DB2CD.7F65EDD9.C318AC60.IP) has joined #anti-matter
- [2012-11-15 19:03:49] <Present_Flake> (Nah, I'm here.)
- [2012-11-15 19:06:39] <Grail> And he'll also be looking around to see if he can improve his arms and armor
- [2012-11-15 19:07:13] <Grail> Not the crossbow though, that's back at home
- [2012-11-15 19:08:08] <Falconis> assuming 10k or more refugees, to supply them with blankets would cost you approx 5kgold or so and feeding them, for one day on gruel 300k in supplies
- [2012-11-15 19:08:19] <Falconis> that's if you are looking to provide for all of them
- [2012-11-15 19:09:02] <Grail> Ahuh, well I'm never going to be able to make that much
- [2012-11-15 19:09:17] <Grail> Even if I rob the hell out of the Crow place
- [2012-11-15 19:09:20] <Falconis> with other expenses like storage and such, you are looking at around 310-311 gold to supply them all with cheap blankets and food
- [2012-11-15 19:09:36] <Grail> But I'll try
- [2012-11-15 19:11:11] <Grail> Hadrian will try to purchase some better armor (maybe something that applies a sneak bonus) a stronger metal club, and something to knock people out without killing them
- [2012-11-15 19:11:32] <Grail> Mostly he's looking to upgrade what he already has
- [2012-11-15 19:12:51] <Falconis> can't get better leathers than what you have without a custom job
- [2012-11-15 19:13:09] <Grail> Custom job it is
- [2012-11-15 19:13:36] <Falconis> morningstars go up to 300g here, not much better off the shelf, probably need a custom if you are looking to improve that
- [2012-11-15 19:13:48] <Falconis> and the last one, where are you going to get that?
- [2012-11-15 19:14:19] <PriceisMagic> (thread it with metal wire and studds)
- [2012-11-15 19:14:23] <Grail> Looking around, apocathary shop
- [2012-11-15 19:14:45] <Falconis> A custom armour/leathers job is simple enough there are tanneries and blacksmiths here if you care to check it out
- [2012-11-15 19:15:01] <Grail> Presumably Hadrian has some knowledge where assassin's go for their gear, the circles do sometimes cross
- [2012-11-15 19:15:26] <Falconis> in minerva, sure he knows
- [2012-11-15 19:15:55] <Grail> The general gist, he'll try to see how much of his knowledge is transitive
- [2012-11-15 19:15:57] <Falconis> though you could follow your nose again
- [2012-11-15 19:16:12] <Grail> There are certain requirements of places that make poisons and potions
- [2012-11-15 19:16:25] <Falconis> The apocathary does indeed sell things that can knock a person unconcious, though the 'without killing' part is a toss up
- [2012-11-15 19:17:25] <Grail> Is it fast acting and will they go without much noise? That's pretty much what Hadrian cares about.
- [2012-11-15 19:17:52] <Falconis> fast acting and without much noise
- [2012-11-15 19:18:01] <Grail> Good enough!
- [2012-11-15 19:18:22] <Falconis> and you say you don't want to kill them? the clerk is a skeptic
- [2012-11-15 19:18:52] <Grail> That's a bonus
- [2012-11-15 19:19:14] <Falconis> for fast acting, he recommends a good swift wack to the head with a stick
- [2012-11-15 19:19:32] <Falconis> he just so happens to have a few premium whacking sticks on sale if you care to take a look
- [2012-11-15 19:19:45] <Grail> Damn it shop clerk
- [2012-11-15 19:19:50] <Grail> Don't be giving me any sass
- [2012-11-15 19:20:20] <Grail> Sell me something I can neutralize a threat with without anyone hearing or seeing
- [2012-11-15 19:21:01] <Falconis> well this is medicine, not magic! the fastest thing he could give you works in 20 minutes and makes the person fall alseep, it's the cutting edge from imperial science
- [2012-11-15 19:21:31] <PriceisMagic> (Because thats not suspisous or anything)
- [2012-11-15 19:21:43] <PriceisMagic> suspicious*
- [2012-11-15 19:21:53] <Falconis> He doesn't know about those crazy backdoor wacks, but they only sell respectable poultices here
- [2012-11-15 19:22:12] <Falconis> obviously doctors use this on patients needing amputation , yea doctors
- [2012-11-15 19:22:16] <Falconis> definately
- [2012-11-15 19:22:23] <Grail> Ahuh
- [2012-11-15 19:22:26] <Grail> My kind of guy
- [2012-11-15 19:22:51] <Grail> Okay fine, give me enough of that knock out stuff to put down four dozen men. I can work with that.
- [2012-11-15 19:23:27] <Falconis> ...at the same time?
- [2012-11-15 19:23:46] <Grail> Hadrian is thinking of sticking it in the guard's dinner
- [2012-11-15 19:24:06] <Grail> Whatever is suitable for that
- [2012-11-15 19:24:07] <Falconis> the clerk pretends not to have heard that
- [2012-11-15 19:24:15] <Grail> Hadrian didn't say it out loud
- [2012-11-15 19:24:51] <Grail> That's just his thought process on what he'll accept, whatever makes sense with that plan
- [2012-11-15 19:25:00] <Falconis> He gives you three squat bottles of a green liquid. A few drops in some water or food will put a man out for about an hour, dead to the world
- [2012-11-15 19:25:21] <Falconis> he mentions in passing that this one is very popular with the Sion wife
- [2012-11-15 19:25:32] <Grail> Handy
- [2012-11-15 19:25:43] <Falconis> seems t a little trouble in paradise eh? he jokes and makes lewd guestures
- [2012-11-15 19:25:46] <Grail> Oh does he also sell laxatives?
- [2012-11-15 19:25:47] <Falconis> gestures*
- [2012-11-15 19:25:52] <Falconis> oh, sure
- [2012-11-15 19:25:57] <Falconis> several kinds
- [2012-11-15 19:26:10] <Falconis> ranked on how good they taste
- [2012-11-15 19:26:36] <Grail> Did Hadrian get the feeling the guards were fed well?
- [2012-11-15 19:26:45] <Grail> When he was scoping the places out?
- [2012-11-15 19:26:56] <Falconis> They didn't look starved at least
- [2012-11-15 19:27:03] <Falconis> nor overly fat
- [2012-11-15 19:27:09] <Grail> Mildly good then
- [2012-11-15 19:27:59] <Grail> Won't make the person think their kitchen scraps are off, just less good than usual
- [2012-11-15 19:29:48] <Falconis> he messes about with a huge jar and produces a branch
- [2012-11-15 19:30:02] <Falconis> he says shavings of this will do the trick
- [2012-11-15 19:30:14] <Grail> Business is completed
- [2012-11-15 19:30:19] <Falconis> he also sells the pre shaved version, for an extra fee of course
- [2012-11-15 19:30:32] <PriceisMagic> (So hes going to knock them out and make them shot themselves?)
- [2012-11-15 19:30:36] <PriceisMagic> shit*
- [2012-11-15 19:30:44] <Grail> Probably just shit themselves
- [2012-11-15 19:30:45] <Present_Flake> classy
- [2012-11-15 19:31:05] <Grail> He was going to knock them out, but then he thought of making of them shit themselves and figured it was more likely
- [2012-11-15 19:31:37] <Grail> We're working with medeval tech here, no one is going to know that it wasn't just the cook doing a terrible job
- [2012-11-15 19:32:43] <Falconis> right then, so the sleeping fluid is gonna run you 750 gold for 3 of them, and the shitstick is 70 gold, 120 if preprepared
- [2012-11-15 19:32:51] <Grail> Anyway he's going to outfit himself with whatever +sneak bonuses he can work into his gear
- [2012-11-15 19:33:26] <Grail> What's the policy on magic items?
- [2012-11-15 19:33:38] <PriceisMagic> ("shitstick" love it)
- [2012-11-15 19:33:44] <Present_Flake> (shitstick, what a great name)
- [2012-11-15 19:33:51] <Falconis> he doesn't sell magic items
- [2012-11-15 19:33:51] <Grail> I'd dig a bag of holding
- [2012-11-15 19:33:55] <Falconis> go talk to a wizzzrd
- [2012-11-15 19:34:09] <Grail> God damn it meta-potions merchant
- [2012-11-15 19:34:13] <Grail> Get out of here
- [2012-11-15 19:34:44] <Falconis> this is his shop
- [2012-11-15 19:34:46] <Grail> Hadrian will take it all then, prepreared shit stick
- [2012-11-15 19:34:57] <Falconis> kk, -820 gold
- [2012-11-15 19:35:02] <Falconis> brb
- [2012-11-15 19:35:08] <Grail> Cool
- [2012-11-15 19:35:43] <PriceisMagic> That reminds me, are there any magical metals? like adamantine or lortoxite?
- [2012-11-15 19:35:55] <PriceisMagic> Blue/red/black steels?
- [2012-11-15 19:36:10] <Present_Flake> Man, we gotta find out the tree
- [2012-11-15 19:36:17] <Present_Flake> get ALL the shitsticks
- [2012-11-15 19:36:26] <PriceisMagic> Find out the tree?
- [2012-11-15 19:36:28] <Present_Flake> Now available in shittea!
- [2012-11-15 19:37:58] <Falconis> back
- [2012-11-15 19:38:07] <Falconis> magic metals? no
- [2012-11-15 19:38:12] <Falconis> but metals can be made magic
- [2012-11-15 19:38:17] <Falconis> as can most things
- [2012-11-15 19:38:40] <Grail> Right
- [2012-11-15 19:38:42] <Falconis> so, what does hadrian do next
- [2012-11-15 19:38:51] <Grail> Hadrian is off to see a wizard
- [2012-11-15 19:39:00] <Grail> He wants his gear enchanted
- [2012-11-15 19:39:12] <Falconis> so off to the imperial lands then?
- [2012-11-15 19:39:37] <Grail> No wizards here?
- [2012-11-15 19:39:37] <Grail> Mages even?
- [2012-11-15 19:40:05] <Falconis> nope, not in forbis
- [2012-11-15 19:40:12] <PriceisMagic> (There goes my purple iridium/osmium,rhodium, tugnsten, blood iron, gold gloves with black steel/necronostrium spikes)
- [2012-11-15 19:40:14] <Falconis> there was a small scholl in minerva
- [2012-11-15 19:40:17] <Falconis> school*
- [2012-11-15 19:40:21] <Falconis> if you want to go back
- [2012-11-15 19:40:33] <Falconis> but the empire basically has a monopoly on that
- [2012-11-15 19:40:40] <Falconis> unless you want to try north >_>
- [2012-11-15 19:40:51] <Falconis> far north
- [2012-11-15 19:41:04] <Grail> Not enough time
- [2012-11-15 19:41:10] <Grail> Does ANYONE do magic gear?
- [2012-11-15 19:41:21] <Falconis> in Forbis?
- [2012-11-15 19:41:27] <Grail> Yes
- [2012-11-15 19:41:42] <Falconis> you could probably check that exotic good guy
- [2012-11-15 19:41:45] <Falconis> or phil
- [2012-11-15 19:41:49] <Falconis> goods*
- [2012-11-15 19:42:00] <Falconis> there is no official magic goods place here
- [2012-11-15 19:42:21] <Grail> Alright, but first what a custom armor upgrade?
- [2012-11-15 19:42:30] <Grail> I just want it good enough it applies a sneaking bonus
- [2012-11-15 19:42:55] <PriceisMagic> (Wait, blood irons still got magical properties right?)
- [2012-11-15 19:43:27] <Falconis> depends on who's blood it was
- [2012-11-15 19:44:44] <Falconis> the majority of the craftsmen here don't do 'quiet clothing' though a tailor offers to direct you to someone who might be able to help you
- [2012-11-15 19:44:48] <Falconis> for 100 gold
- [2012-11-15 19:45:44] <Grail> Sure, Hadrian makes note of this man's face and place of business
- [2012-11-15 19:45:49] <Grail> If he's lying he's gonna get robbed
- [2012-11-15 19:46:20] <Falconis> k
- [2012-11-15 19:49:54] <Falconis> The man takes the gold and then gives you directions to a house in the rich part of town where he says the personal dressmaker for the Crows live
- [2012-11-15 19:50:28] <Falconis> the place doesn't look like one, he says, but it's probably what you are looking for
- [2012-11-15 19:50:55] <Grail> Hadrian knocks
- [2012-11-15 19:51:41] |<-- Present_Flake has left irc.rizon.net (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
- [2012-11-15 19:51:52] <Falconis> You go to the place and knock on the door
- [2012-11-15 19:52:13] <Falconis> A nice, homely looking two story affair
- [2012-11-15 19:53:32] <Falconis> after a few moments, the door opens and a tall, thin man with a neatly trimmed mustache answers the door. He wears the vest of a three piece suit along what seems to be the pants to go with it.
- [2012-11-15 19:53:54] <Grail> "Hello? I'm hear to see the dressmaker."
- [2012-11-15 19:53:57] <Falconis> He lowers the iron rimmed glasses on his nose and asks [???]"yes?"
- [2012-11-15 19:55:08] <Falconis> [???]"The dressmaker eh, and who are you?"
- [2012-11-15 19:55:35] <Grail> "A customer."
- [2012-11-15 19:56:27] <Falconis> He looks you up and down
- [2012-11-15 19:56:34] <Falconis> [???]"I doubt it"
- [2012-11-15 19:57:16] <Grail> "I wouldn't, you can look a man up and down, but it's hard to see how deep his pockets are."
- [2012-11-15 19:57:53] <Falconis> [???]"And how deep are your pockets mr customer?"
- [2012-11-15 19:58:43] <Grail> "Deep enough to be walking here so cock sure I'll be able to buy from you."
- [2012-11-15 19:59:49] <Falconis> [???]"That could also be a sign of stupidity."
- [2012-11-15 19:59:52] <Falconis> *sigh*
- [2012-11-15 20:00:07] <Feeling_Flaky> (Aight, I'm back here)
- [2012-11-15 20:00:30] <Falconis> [???]"Now how about you stop wasting my time and tell me what you want, and I will tell you what it costs"
- [2012-11-15 20:00:52] <Grail> "Fix up this armor, make it sneak like no one's business."
- [2012-11-15 20:01:15] <Falconis> [???]"Sneak. You want to be quiet"
- [2012-11-15 20:01:48] <Grail> "Yes."
- [2012-11-15 20:05:35] <Falconis> he looks you up and down again
- [2012-11-15 20:06:14] <Falconis> [???]"I assume you also want pigs to fly and cost a copper a pound. I cannot 'fix up' your attire without burning what you wear and making it anew. I see the signs of Minerva in it's make and you may rest assured that they are quite competent. Now then if you wanted better attire, from better materials and superior craftsmanship, then we can talk"
- [2012-11-15 20:06:27] <Falconis> he shuts the door
- [2012-11-15 20:06:42] <Grail> Open the door
- [2012-11-15 20:06:49] <Grail> "That will do."
- [2012-11-15 20:11:11] <Falconis> [???]"I trust you can produce the approximately 1200 gold necessary for the service."
- [2012-11-15 20:11:29] <Grail> Produce the gold
- [2012-11-15 20:12:32] <Falconis> giving it to him?
- [2012-11-15 20:12:46] <Grail> Showing it, to start
- [2012-11-15 20:12:55] <Grail> "When can I expect you to be done?"
- [2012-11-15 20:14:51] <Falconis> He purses his lips and looks at the gold for about 3 seconds before looking back at you and answering "There are other orders pending, so I can produce what I have spoken about by the earliest end of the week."
- [2012-11-15 20:15:27] <Grail> "That will have to do."
