Session Seven: The Political Gauntlet

 <Class> Hi Makara
 <Makara> I will be back in a hour or so.
 <Helpax> Hi Makara/Nyaa
 <Class> Ok Black Cat
 <Class> will tell so CJ
 <Class> can you start the dice boot?
 <Helpax> ok
 -->| DiceBot has joined #wizardbase
 <Class> thanks
 <Makara> wait wait
 |<-- DiceBot has left irc.synirc.net (Client exited)
 -->| Anti-Calpurnia_Bot has joined #wizardbase
 <Makara> okay, bye.
 <Calpurnia> True
 <Calpurnia> so true
 <Silas_> take care, and thanks
 <Class> oO
 <Calpurnia> damn thing kept giving me 2s
 <Silas_> its a conspiracy
 <Class> !roll 1d10 (For the Fun of it)
 <Anti-Calpurnia_Bot> Class, (For the Fun of it)
 <Calpurnia> !roll 1d10
 <Anti-Calpurnia_Bot> Calpurnia
 <Calpurnia> now it rolls 8
 <Calpurnia> much more appropriate
 <Helpax> !roll 1d10 (because I think it looks interesting)
 <Anti-Calpurnia_Bot> Helpax, (because I think it looks interesting)
 <Class> don't use up our luck now or you don't have it in game anymore ;)
 <Calpurnia> see
 <Helpax> But I only have bad luck...
 <Silas_> -*is gathering strength*-
 <Class> !roll D12
 <Silas_> yet you still manage to do more than most of us ^^
 <Class> !roll 1d12
 <Anti-Calpurnia_Bot> Class
 <Calpurnia> Were trying to figure out if the 1d10 dice is loaded not the 12
 <Class> ok because of the 3x 8 I just wanted to look if some different result is possible ^^
 <Calpurnia> !roll 1d10
 <Anti-Calpurnia_Bot> Calpurnia
 <Calpurnia> okay not
 <Calpurnia>  <Helpax> I try simple things
 <Helpax> mostly Naptime
 <Calpurnia> You how dare you get a wimpy snowball
 <Helpax> ...That I blame on the dicemaker
 <Helpax> if anyone needs me i'll be feeling guilty over here
 * Helpax sulks in a corner
 <Calpurnia> hehehhehe don't get to guilty there a lot more to feel guilty about (it's probably just going to get worse now)
 <Helpax> ^^
 <Helpax> Besides, we're all going to die
 <Calpurnia> Well that's a fact of life.
 <Helpax> true, it's boring otherwise
 <Calpurnia> It's also a fact as CJ is the judge of our world.
 <Helpax> ...so we're doomed to die painfully?
 <Silas_> isn't the sheer amount of drakes evidence of that?
 <Calpurnia> Well look what we faced already. 4 dragons. And, now we have to deal with Magus'. Yeah.
 <Class> Now I know at last 2 ways in Ares Magica to make a Human Mage unaging without acujmolating Warppoints
 <Class> so dying of old age probably can ruled out for some ^^
 <Calpurnia> Huh?
 <Helpax> Clearly Class knows the system better.
 <Calpurnia> Well unaging only works for appearance not decrepitude.
 <Class> thats no of the 2 ways I have in mind
 <Helpax> Please share with class, Mr. Class. How does one forestall dying of 'old age/decrepitude points'.
 <Class> But for both you need be part of the right Mystic Cult
 <Calpurnia> Well I'm Criamon so it will probably find me.
 <Class> as Criamon you don't whant to be undying you whant to enter twilight
 <Calpurnia> True, but I mean in the ways of finding a Mystic Cult.
 <Class> The only hint I give is that 1 way is to change toward a magic creature and the other to change toward a faerie
 <Calpurnia> Ahh so to become in someway a faerie or magical entity.
 <Class> Yes and I found 2 ways so fare to do it in the books I own. And one of the books is from CJ ^^
 <Calpurnia> It's a trap. He has some bs manuever to revert you back to human form (probably not)
 <Helpax> So living ghost, 'godling' or those house mysteries that both Bjorner and Merinita have?
 <Silas_> who doesn't want to be a living abomination?
 <Class> ^^ yes thats the downside of the Creature of Magic way
 <Helpax> Oh I forgot about the lich from hermetic projects, thanks for reminding me
 <Calpurnia> Whats wrong with being a abomination of all of humankind and probably being hunted by all forms of Divine servants.
 <Calpurnia> lich you can become one?
 <Class> Oh becoming a lich is something I don't know how to do ^^
 <Class> So if Lich is posible and don't accumulate Warppoints then its a 3th way.
 |<-- Helpax has left irc.synirc.net (Ping timeout)
 <Silas_> what does warp points translate to btw? mental instability or so?
 <Calpurnia> Uhh I think just the affects magic has done to you both in body and mind.
 <Silas_> mhm
 <Class> CJ where are you? -.-'
 <Silas_> brb in a sec then ^^
 <Silas_> and back
 <Class> zzzzZzzzZ
 <Silas_> maybe he is still sorting though our mails
<Calpurnia> With the sheer amount of emails I sent him. I wouldn't be surprised.
 <Silas_> tisk tisk!
 * Class is AKF for a bit
 <Calpurnia> How many warp points should we give him?
 <Silas_> 2-3ish certainly
 <Silas_> how much for a trip to the twilight?
 <Calpurnia> I think I got 3
 <Baruch> Yeah, maybe we should play a twilight episode for him while he's gone.
 =-= Calpurnia is now known as Child_Calpurnia
 <Baruch> He could be a goosefish, maybe.
 <Silas_> hehe
 <Silas_> a goosefish, is that a meathered goldfish?
 <Silas_> feathered*
 <Silas_> with a beak
 <Child_Calpurnia> OHH
 <Silas_> and waddely fins
 <Child_Calpurnia> He can't boot up his computer
 <--| milton has left #wizardbase
 <Silas_> oh?
 <Silas_> well thats...meh, darn
 <Baruch> He did mention on the forums that his computer had been acting up
 <Child_Calpurnia> I emailed him and he emailed me back, on his phone. He says give him 5 more minutes.
 * Class is back
 <Silas_> gladly hehe
 <Class> ON good thing has this Helpax don't miss to much today
 <Class> err One
 <Silas_> Helpax couldn't make it either?
 <Child_Calpurnia> No his internet is giving him problems thus is why he timed out.
 <Class> He told he is back in 1h a bit over 45 ago
 <Child_Calpurnia> That was Nyaa/Makara
 <Silas_> oh, wan't that Makara?
 <Child_Calpurnia> Let me check
 <Child_Calpurnia> Makara	I will be back in a hour or so.
 <Class> ups right
 <Class> Messed this up
 <Child_Calpurnia> Helpax	Oh I forgot about the lich from hermetic projects, thanks for reminding me
 <Silas_> o worries hehe
 <Child_Calpurnia> 	Calpurnia	Whats wrong with being a abomination of all of humankind and probably being hunted by all forms of Divine servants.
 <Child_Calpurnia> 	Calpurnia	lich you can become one?
 <Child_Calpurnia> 	Class	Oh becoming a lich is something I don't know how to do ^^
 <Child_Calpurnia> 	Class	So if Lich is possible and don't accumulate Warp points then it's a 3th way.
 <Silas_> no*
 <Child_Calpurnia> 	|<--	Helpax has left irc.synirc.net (Ping timeout)
 <Child_Calpurnia> That was Helpax ^
 -->| CJ has joined #wizardbase
 <Child_Calpurnia> CJ YAY!!!
 <CJ> Bloody hell you are all still here!
 =-= Child_Calpurnia is now known as Calpurnia
 <CJ> I was nearly crying in frustration
 <Baruch> Did you get your computer to work?
 <Class> Hi CJ
 <CJ> Woke up two hours ago, turned on pc - went through Windows load up, then egg timer
 <Calpurnia> Well technically we lost Helpax to his internet and Makara will be back in "soon"
 <CJ> Yeah I can't do it from phone sadly won't run Chatzilla - tried that already
 <Class> So it's something broken with your computer?  <CJ> Helpax may need his bed by now?
 <Baruch> It seems we are having bad luck with tech today; lets hope Helpax gets his stuff working
 <Calpurnia> Helpax timed out so I doubt he did it on purpose.
 <CJ> I think my pc is finished. I downloaded schezerade 1931 last night and then noticed my pc was packing up (see Black Chicken forums)
 <CJ> I am so so sorry
 <Calpurnia> Yeah by chance I read that. Sooo add 3 more warp points to your score.
 <Class> so no RPG today? When would it possible for you next time?
 <CJ> And I must wish you all a very merry Christmas - unless you are in Russia, or Greece, or other areas where Christmas is till some way off
 <Baruch> Yah, we played a twilight episode for you here
 <CJ> no I can run now
 <CJ> I'm in
 <Class> OK
 <Baruch> Ok, too bad  <Baruch> no
 <Baruch> you CAN
 <Baruch> great  <CJ> And I'll get a pc to work for next time, by building another pc. IRC does not require much to run
 <CJ> Yes let's play
 <CJ> So remind me, who is where?
 <CJ> SESSION SIXHE GAUNTLET
 <Silas_> I'm off with Edith to find a Stephan I think
 <Calpurnia> We are all I believe in the carriage house thing.
 <Baruch> I, class, calpurnia, helpax are together in the iron thing
 <Class> End of last session we decided to get some rest till Dawn but Class will get up soon again as its no sleep time for him
 <Baruch> Yeah, silas and Makara are somewhere else I think
 <Calpurnia> Except Silas and Makara?
 <CJ> Yes, Makara I need to deal with once back
 <CJ> Let's start with Silas - feel free btw to comment OOC while I deal with what happened to Silas last session - won't take long
 <Baruch> Ok, se we can well run this, the only problem is that Helpax isn't here, and he was going to help me with the court proceedings
 <CJ> Silas, after the owl put down Edith grabbed you by the hand, and set off determinedly to find the magi of Libellus, saying something again about a promise
 <Calpurnia> (Oh yeah have you gotten info on Goricous, Baruch yet?)
 <CJ> (Helpax may make it. I did, by just turning on and of my machine 50 times)
 <Baruch> (No, I didn't get anything about what you mentioned; could you maybe priv me that)
 <Baruch> (Yeah, lets hope he does)
 <CJ> (Calpurnia can you give Barush the news)
 <CJ> Edith leads you through the great stones and drifting snow, and till eventually you come to a collection of three small wooden huts, built on the far side of the stone circle.
 <CJ> Each has a sigil engraved on the door, and while snow covered they appear cozy
 <CJ> Silas you want to ask Edith anything?
 <Silas_> "who is this person you want to see Edith?"
 <Calpurnia> (Baruch did you get it?)
 <Baruch> (no)
 <Calpurnia> (how does private chat work?)
 <CJ> Edith looks at Silas in surprise "Stephen of Jerbiton, the great magician! Who else?"
 <Baruch> (now I got it, sorry)
 <Baruch> (didn't notice it)
 <CJ> She walks to one of the huts and prepares to knock upon the door
 <Silas_> "ah, right." follows Edith to the door
 <CJ> (you can clearly hear low voices talking inside)
 <Silas_> "And what promise did he make you?" in low voice
 <Silas_> promise*
 <Makara> (back)
 <Silas_> (WB)
 <CJ> There is the sound of clanking metal, and the door opens. A man in iron armour, holding a hammer, and covered in small elaborate devices none bigger than a thumb  throws the door open and stares at you. He takes a step back in shock on seeing Edith!
 <Baruch> (Makara you tell me about your parents?)
 <Makara> (just simple peasant
 <CJ> "not now" whispers Edith to Silas, and squeezes his hand
 <CJ> "Let them in" boom an imperious sounding man dressed in noble clothes, with a great grey beard that gives him an air of authority
 <Silas_> nods and gives a small squeeze
 <Baruch> (Makara mean the master/teacher, not the parents as in your biological parents)
 <CJ> You are swiftly introduced to Stephen of Jerbiton, an ARCHMAGUS no less - the man in noble clothes, Fabricor of Verditius - the  man in armour - and Gregorius of Bonisagusa young man but completely bald, in a dark blue robes covered in bright magical symbols
 <Makara> ((another Criamon is my teacher))
 <Makara> ((could be the same as calpurnia))
 <CJ> (Helena of Criamon is Makara's parents - more on her later)
 <Baruch> (OK)
 <Silas_> "An honour to meet you Archmagus" Does a polite bow
 <Class> (CJ I just read trough The Deed of the Woodland Warden and The Aweakening again and still 100% Sure The Awakening absolute need Nature Lore and so its a inconsistency in the book ... I stumbled upon this when I tried to creat my mentor)
 <CJ> "Indeed" says Stephen, "and I am honoured to make your acquaintance, err, I am sorry I do not know your name? Should I?"
 <Silas_> "I should not think so, me and my fellows only recently arrived from the City of Ivory and Jade, to enter our gauntlet
 <Silas_> My name is Silas Duerr, of house Mercere."
 <CJ> "And Aeditha, what news of Libellus?"
 <CJ> "Welcome Silas!"
 <CJ> **and Edith tells the story as she knows it, from your arrival, to the drakes destroying the covenant - this takes a long time**
 <CJ> Silas, Per + Folk Ken test versus difficulty 9
 <CJ> (everyone else, be with you shortly - sorry!)
 <Silas_> !roll 1d10+1
 <Anti-Calpurnia_Bot> Silas_2 1
 <CJ> (I was trying to use email last night when my pc died)
 <CJ> lol!
 <Calpurnia> Doubles
 <CJ> roll again, that's a one.
 <Silas_> !roll 1d10
 <Anti-Calpurnia_Bot> Silas_0
 <Calpurnia> wow
 <Silas_> heh
 <Calpurnia> 21 or 22
 <Class> (Isn't 10 =0)
 <Calpurnia> Only if it’s stress I think
 <CJ> OK, it is clear to you that Stephen is completely devastated, Gregorius is fairly thoughtful and resigned, and Fabricor is absolutely furious and blames **You**
 <CJ> The first die roll is the one where zeros count against you
 <CJ> after that they are good
 <Silas_> ah good to know
 <Calpurnia> (I was right)
 <Calpurnia> (Story wise)
 <CJ> Fabricor waits till Edith ends her story, and then makes a really angry noise and stomps off clanking in to the snow
 <CJ> Any response Silas?
 <Silas_> "It is as Aedith says, and unfortunate turn of events, you have my sympathies.
 <CJ> Gregorius nods, but mutter something about Jonaquil being a fool. Stephen however is now growing angry, and muttering darkly about Nigrasaxa
 <CJ> At that moment Edith mentions "the promise" - and Stephen reacts as if he has been slapped.
 <CJ> Stephen turns to Silas - "if you would be so kind as to leave me with my grog a moment?" he asks
 <Silas_> looks to Aedith for a moment before nodding
 <Silas_> "of cause"
 <CJ> Edith is beaming with pride.
 <CJ> (is Makara back yet?)
 <Makara> (yes)
 <CJ> As you step out into the snow Gregorius walks with you Silas, chatting amiably enough.
 <Class> @ Silas You see the white Pegasus that "greeted" Baruch short after the landing walking around the tents
 <Makara> (who's gregorius again?)
 <CJ> Right Makara, you left with (as you would know) Siffed of Criamon. She is from the covenant of Libellus
 <Silas_> "What was that name you mentioned Gregorious? Nex---?"
 <CJ> No she's not! Sorry -0 she is from the covenant of Nigrasaxa
 <CJ> Silasregorius says "Nigrasaxa, the covenant of the Black Sword. They are our sworn enemies"
 <Silas_> "Ah. I did not mean to cause distress"
 <CJ> So Makara, Siffed takes you to a black stone tower, magically created on the other side  of the stone circle, just a hundred yards from the stones.
 <CJ> She lets you in to the tower, which has been created by the magi of Nigrasaxa to keep them warm and safe during the Tribunal
 <CJ> Siffed looks at you, and tells you tomorrow she will consult the omens as to your path, and be the one who conducts your Gauntlet
 <CJ> Any questions Makara?
 <Makara> (you never reply my mail about what she teached me)
 <CJ> No my pc died. HOwever we will do this now!
 <CJ> Siffed tells you a bit about Nigrasaxa - it is another new covenant, slightly older than Libellus, and only thirty miles away. It is politically allied with Blackthorn - Voluntas another covenant then sponsored Libellus to stop it's development
 <CJ> She explains to you that tomorrow you will be asked a Riddle for your Gaunmtlet - there is no right or wroong anwer, only the answer that si true for you and your magic
 <CJ> If you can answer it, you will pass your House Criamon Gauntlet!
 <Makara> (easiest test ever)
 <CJ> Then she will consult the omens and choose a path that is correct for you, and teach you the inner mysteries of House Criamon
 <CJ> The hardest test ever, she promises.
 * Makara undersyand.
 <CJ> You meet in the tower Maximianus, a huge man, bedecked in magic items and very pompous. He wears the robes of an archmagus
 <CJ> He seems to want to sleep, and his snoring fills the room
 <CJ> tower even
 <Makara> (MAXIMUM HEIGH, MAXIMUM NOISE)
 <CJ> You also meet Caltis of Tremere, a think wearily boy in too starched black robes, who marches around mutterring about the greatness to come!
 -->| Helpax has joined #wizardbase
 <CJ> OK, Helpax is bac, we shall start with everyone in 2 minutes
 <Baruch> (Wohoo)
 <Silas_> (WB)
 <Helpax> I'm back at last
 <Calpurnia> (Yay helpax is here)
 <Class> (WB)
 <Helpax> Thanks, sorry abolut that
 <CJ> Hey Helpax - faster than me!
 <CJ> Makara, Siffed suggest you walk in the snow?
 <Helpax> ...I was gone for over an hour...
 <CJ> (So was I nearly!)
 * Makara reluctantly accept.
 <Helpax> (!!!)
 <CJ> As you walk in the snow, you see a beautiful white winged horse trotting through the snowy plain, and the great looming blueish shadows of th stones of Stonehenge
 <Makara> (barefoot?)
 <CJ> Yes.
 <Makara> (of course)
 <CJ> Suddenly, walking round the stones the other way, you see tow people - a young man in white robes, completely bald, and Silas (without Edith for once!)
 <Helpax> (oh noes! edif is wost, wost worever!)
 <CJ> The man in white (Gregorius) starts shouting at Siffed, calling her "the illegitimate spawn of the contents of a rabid dog's bowels"
 <CJ>  <Class> (Yea the Pagsus walks around because he don't sleep at all but his"Human" need sleep)
 <Silas_> (lol)
 <Class> (err Pegasus)
 <CJ> Nearby in a caravan a bunch of magi trying to sleep are awakened by loud shouting outside between a man and a woman
 <CJ> OK, everyone now...
 <CJ> What do you do?
 * Makara join in the shouting.
 * Silas_ looks surprised at Gregorious
 <Calpurnia> {I hide under the sheets}
 <CJ> OK, Siffed is swearing at this moron from Libellus who stole their vis sources
 * Helpax goes to the shouting people...after putting shoes and a warm robe on
 <CJ> Silas is yelling at Siffed that she is the unclean bitch spawn of a rabid dog herself
 <Baruch> I'll look out the window at what's going on
 <Silas_> I am?  * Class go outside to help fixing the Tent he have broken before and when this is done he looking for his Mentor or Bjornaer he know
 <Makara> dear god silas, so uncouth
 <CJ> OK Helpax, as you emerge you find the mild mannered Gregorius of Bonisagus and the far from mild mannered Siffed of Criamon screaming insults at each other, while Makara and Silas stand beside them
 <CJ> Class, you fixed thent before, but you see the argument
 <CJ> Sorry Silas - I meant Gregorius who is with Silas!
 <CJ> **looks embarassed at typo***
 <CJ> OK, it's getting nasty.
 <Helpax> "Really? Really? Why are the adults acting like children?"
 <CJ> They are really going for each other now, screaming every name under th sun
 <Class> (Sorry but my prority is to find my Mentor and if he is not there as expected to seek for a other Bjornaer he know)
 * Makara trying to memorize the new title of these two great magus
 <CJ> Helpax PRE + Leadership
 <CJ> (but - 3 for the Gift?)
 <CJ> OK Class, you go looking
 <Baruch> (Wouldn't they have their parmas on?)
 <Calpurnia> (They are the worst magus' in history so no)
 <Helpax> !roll 1d10-3 (+3 botch dice for unskilled)
 <Anti-Calpurnia_Bot> Helpax, (+3 botch dice for unskilled)0 3
 <CJ> Yes they have actually, so no penalty
 <Class> (btw I look in Owl form as I see better in it
 <Calpurnia> so 3
 <Helpax> (so a 3 then)
 <CJ> They both utterly ignore Helpax, and now other magi are being woken up!
 <Helpax> (Why do i try talking? I have no skill for it...cept guile)
 <Calpurnia> I get up walk out side and say "BE QUITE I"M TRYING TO SLEEP!!!"
 <CJ> A raven flutters down, lands by Class, and asks "are you ready then Class?"
 <CJ> Everyone stops to stare at Calpurnia
 <Calpurnia> "Better" goes back inside
 <Helpax> "Thank you Calpurnia"
 * Class look at the raven
 <Class> "Do I know you? And for what ready?"
 <CJ> Gregorius gives a hollow laugh, and walks off to the huts. Sifffed says "get some sleep Makara", and walks back ot her tower
 * Makara look at the snow on the ground, "you be quiet too."
 <CJ> Class; for the Gauntlet, he croaks, and then makes an odd noise, which you giuess is a raven laughing
 * Silas_ follows Gregorius
 <CJ> I am Corvus - "your mentor told me to look after you!"
 <Class> "Sure I'am but my Parent is sadly no where to found"
 <CJ> The now on the ground lies deep and crisp and silent, intimidated by Makara's command!
 * Helpax sighs then follows Sifffed
 <Class> "Oh, thanks"
 * Makara give the snow a pat.
 <Calpurnia> {I go back to sleep}
 <Helpax> "Excuse me, but could you tell me what that was all about?"
 <CJ> "It is as I expected" croaks the raven. "I am Corvus of Voluntas, and I will act as your sponsor in the morning, wehish is almost here"
 <Baruch> I go back to sleep as well
 <Class> "How long past dawn will this usualy take?"
 <Class> "I'm Class Eule but you probably already know that"
 <Class> "nice to meet you"
 <CJ> Helpaxiffed looks at you surprised. "We built a covenant " she says " and ten years later they arrived and built one on our dorrstep, and now they steal our vis. They are simply pawns of the wicked covenant of Voluntas, lawless magi led by the witch Julia of Jerbiton"
 <CJ> "Not long Class" - "you will need to be in the circle at Dawn. You may as well fly with me there now"
 <CJ> Silas, Gregoriuys and you enter the hut, Where stephan has been talking to Iudiciusm, a quaesitor, who walks out with a curt nod as you arrive., He has a red scarlet tattoo on his cheek that spirals constantly in 3 dimensions!
 <Helpax> "Ah. No wonder it agitated you so. Forgive me, I'm new to the tribunal. Take it the matter will be discussed tomorrow?"
 <Class> "Sure we can do that now. As you can expect my time is usualy the night thats why I asked."
 <CJ> Stephen is now dozing in a chair - of Edith there is no sign.
 <Calpurnia> {I guess no time to sleep so to the circle}
 <CJ> DAwn will be in 5 minutes
 <Silas_> To Gregorius "who was that?"
 * Class follow Corvus of Voluntas
 <Baruch> (Oh, if dawn is so soon then I won't try to sleep any longer either)
 <CJ> "The Chief Quesitor, Iudiciusm. He is from Blackthorn, so hates us!"
<Calpurnia> I look at Baruch "We really shouldn't have helped them all things considered" Leaves to circle
 <CJ> Baruch, two minutes to Dawn. Time for you to put your Parma up!
 * Makara goes toward the Stonehenge.
 * Silas_ looks arond
 <Silas_> "where did Aedith go off to?"
 <Baruch> Parma up. Then to meet the Iudicius fellar
 <CJ> **DAWN BREAKS, a dull glow on the Eastern horizon. The rising sun dyes the snows of Stonehenge blood red**
 <CJ> All of the magi are now moving out to the stone circle
 <CJ> Gregorius looks around and says to Silas - "probably ran off somewhere!"
 <CJ> Thirty magi gather in silence, in a great circle. They are an odd looking bunch - some clad in the finest robes, some in rouygh garb, some in armour
 * Helpax heads off to the main event, trying to stay with the rest of our covenant
 <CJ> One woman stands out - incredibly aged, she wears pinkish robes which suddenly blaze glorious in the light of the rising son, drawing everyones attention to her. She holds a crooked wooden staff, like the one that is the symbol of House Ex Miscellanea
 <Class> (How many ANimals are there and do so as if they belong here beside the raven and me?)
 <CJ> The air around her robes sparkles as if with mettalic pink fairy dust - she is like a refection of the dawn
 <Silas_> Nods. "I am sorry if I am intruding, but what promise they wanted to discuss?"
 <CJ> No animals well some familairs - but Corvus has taken human form now
 <CJ> Gregorius looks sharply at you, and mutters about how he must be off to the Tribunal
 <Class> *Wispering* "Human shape expected?"
 <CJ> Anyone want to try INT+ Order of Hermes Lore?
 <Helpax> (sure)
 <CJ> Corvus - "yes sadly" to Class
 <Makara> (sure)
 <Baruch> !roll 1d10+6
 <Anti-Calpurnia_Bot> Baruch13 6
 <CJ> OK, make that test if you want to.
 <Makara> !roll 1d10+4
 <Helpax> !roll 1d10+6 (+1 if politics applies)
 <Anti-Calpurnia_Bot> Helpax, (+1 if politics applies)14 6
 <Anti-Calpurnia_Bot> Makara8 4
 <CJ> Calpurnia, you p and about now?
 * Class turn to human even if this means to stand naked at the snow *brrrrr*
 <CJ> Corvus a young man with a shock of black untruly hair is also completely naked, byut hands you a bearskin
 <Calpurnia> !roll 1d10
 <Anti-Calpurnia_Bot> Calpurnia
 <Calpurnia> No wait I do have a bonus
 <Class> !roll 1d10
 <Anti-Calpurnia_Bot> Class
 <Class> !roll 1d10 (reroll)
 <Anti-Calpurnia_Bot> Class, (reroll)
 <Calpurnia> actually I don't
 <Silas_> "Of cause Gregorious. I appologize. I should find my friends as well. Good day to you" small bow
 <Calpurnia> so 27
 <Calpurnia> no wait 18 sorry
 <Class> (How is it calculated again?)
 <Calpurnia> times 2 I believe (not squaring which I did)
 <Class> "Thanks"
 <CJ> OK, as you gather you can whisper to one another. The woman in the glorious pink robes is Immanola, Primus of House Ex Miscellanea. She is incredibly ancient, and her robes are the "Robes of Dusty Dawn", symbol of office of her role. They have chalk circles drawn all over them.
 <Helpax> (int score + order of hermes lore + 1d10)
 <CJ> The staff she carries if the staff of the founder of that House, Paralix, who was an apprentice of Tytalus in the early days of the Order
 <Class> (so 2 int+6 for me)
 <Class> (=8)
 <Helpax> (oh dear, big wigs are here)
 <Baruch> (Calpurniaf you don't have a score in order of hermes lore you don't get to roll)
 <CJ> Calpurnia you know whs should be the Pareaco, the chief official here, because she is the oldest. She isn;t though
 <Class> (Oh ok then nothing for me ^^)
 <CJ> (Good point VBAruch)
 <Calpurnia> (okay I know nothing)
 <CJ> Never mind, yiu all can know who Immanola is
 <CJ> She is one of the twelve leaders of the Order fo Hermes after all!
 <Helpax> (I'd tell them anyway)
 <CJ> ok, you have a few moments to talk to reach other. ( I need loo, you need to catch up)
 <CJ> brb in 5 at most
 <CJ> (please talk in character)
 <Class> (Baruch nearby to me?)
 <Calpurnia> "Silas where have you been"
 * Silas_ finds his way to the group looking quite tired
 <CJ> (you are all together)
 <Baruch> "Everything in order, Silas? Have you received word that we, or more specifically I, will be accused of destroying Libellas."
 * Makara start a conversation with Stonehenge, "Good morning, stone."
 * Silas_ waves in the direction of the huts
 <Class> "Baruch my I introduce you to Corvus of Voluntas he will sponsor me for this gauntlet instead of my Parent"
 <Silas_> "Edith wanted to meet an archmagus, but I never learned why...
 <Baruch> "Ah, splendid. Good to meet you, Corvus."
 <Baruch> "Stephen was an archmagus? Well, did you meet him?"
 <Silas_> Apparently though Libelles has a number of enemies here
 <Baruch> "What about you Makara? Everything in order?"
 <Makara> "Yes, everything is in alignment"
 <Baruch> "Silas, yes, I have gathered as much as well. Some pettiness over resources, to be sure."
 <Silas_> "I met him, he was surprisingly gentle. a kind man"
 * Silas_ shrugs
 <Baruch> "Was he informed of what took place at Libellas?"
 <Class> "Corvus of Voluntas this Baruch ex Bonisagus of my new Covenant!
 <Helpax> "Pettiness or not, I am certain we'll be dragged into it one way or another."
 <Silas_> His companion Gregorious nearly started a fight with another house... if not for *cough* Calpurnias little outburst"
 <Baruch> "Yes, so it seems. I presume we might have to choose sides."
 <Silas_> We should strive to make peace between the two, I feel.
 <Baruch> "Silas, but does he know about what happened? I suspect this will be a topic of contention."
 <Silas_> "If not Libelle will surely not survive..."
 <Class> "Wow you must be very sure of your ability in talking for trying such a thing"
 <Silas_> "Aedith told what happened on our trip, he looked years older for it"
 * Silas_ shakes his head
 <Baruch> "Amicable relations would surely be the most desirable outcome, but I would also find my personal survival to be something of a priority."
 <Helpax> "Reminder for Silas Libelle is charging us with a High Crime. I don't think they like us very much/"
 <Silas_> "I am not sure of anything. But all this... anger serves no one"
 <Silas_> "What?!"
 <Calpurnia> "Oh yeah and if Baruch loses he will get executed"
 <Calpurnia> {Says without any emotion}
 <Silas_> "But- I just talked with their archmagus, he did not seem to be informed of this at all"
 <Class> (OOC Ramon maybe have the Etiquette to bring them at one table for a dinner without active twists but thats it)
 <Helpax> "Oh right, you missed that. They are blaming us for the dragon attack"
 <Makara> "I missed that too."
 * Silas_ looks worried to Baruch
 <CJ> A man in deep blue robes walks in to the cebtre of the circle
 <Helpax> "Wait, he didn't know?!>"
 <CJ> magi start to fall silent...
 * Class is silent
 <Calpurnia> "..."
 <Makara> "..."
 <CJ> A redcap walks forward, and bows low.
 <CJ> "my assembles sodales, I give you the Praeco!"
 <Helpax> "...eh?"
 <CJ> The praeco is an impressive figure, clad in deep blues and a green cloak (i forgot to mention that)
 <CJ> His eyes are so hollow, do dark, they seem like voids
 <CJ> Praeco Talion of Flambeau "August magi, welcome! I bid you all welcome to this Tribunal of Stonehenge, and a special welcome to our guest, Baruch"
 -->| Baruch1 has joined #wizardbase
 <Baruch1> (Sorry)
 * Silas_ tries to stifle a yawn
 |<-- Baruch has left irc.synirc.net (Ping timeout)
 <CJ> (Talion's voice seems to drip menace, and the promise of dissolution and destruction)
 =-= Baruch1 is now known as Baruch
 <Class> (Btw CJ f you need Ramon say so)
 <CJ> He turns to look around the circle.
 * Helpax tries not to look like an idiot
 <CJ> The redcap steps forward again "Assembled magi, I give you the Presiding Queasitor, Iudicium of Flambeau"
 <Baruch> (Could someone msg me if I missed something between "Helpaxh" and my sorry)
 <CJ> Iudicium steps forward
 <Baruch> (thanks)
 <CJ> Finally the redcap calls, and the Master of Apprentices, Edward of Milton
 <Silas_> (you were just presented as special among the magus Baruch)
 <CJ> Edward steps forward.
 <CJ> And our resident Primus, Immanola of House Ex Miscellanea
 <CJ> Her robes ar eno longer glowing as brightly, and she does not move forward, but sits in a chair, and feebly waves
 <Class> (Wow a unusual high position for this House)
 <CJ> (She is the head of the House )
 <CJ> Praeco Talionudicium, is all in order?
 <CJ> Iudiciume are quorate. At least twelve magi, from four covenants. In fact we have magi from every Stonehenge covenant, and a visitor, Baruch
 <CJ> Praeco Talionaruch, present yourself
 <Silas_> (Praeco Talio has initiated the meeting btw Baruch, if you missed it)
 <CJ> Per + Folk Ken everyone else
 <Calpurnia> (do i need folk ken?)
 <Baruch> "Thank you, Praeco. I am Baruch of Bonisagus from the covenant of the City of Ivory and Jade. I am here to escort these apprentices to their Gauntlet."

 <CJ> Class you can realize their enemies Blackthorn control the Praeco (chairman) and the chief judge, Iudicium, who are both members of blackthorn
 <Makara> (someone please jog down these political relationship)
 <CJ> Baruch, the Praeco stares at you "And where is your covenant? Is it in our Tribunal?"
 <Helpax> (do I need to roll for the 1s)
 <CJ> (nope Helpax)
 <Baruch> "Our covenant is situated in a flying city that is not stationary. It is presently above this tribunal."
 <CJ> The Praeco turns to Iudicium
 <CJ> Iudicium "and which redcap serves you?"
 <CJ> Iudicium "or do you have your own redcaps??"
 <Baruch> "Ramon"
 <Baruch> (right?)
 <Class> (We must have a Redcap Magus also)
 <CJ> I see, and which Tribunal does Ramon belong to?
 <CJ> (you have )
 <Baruch> (Do I know this?)
 <Makara> ((aren't you all glad we choose a flying city and can pick side?))
 <CJ> (Ramon, who is not yert Gauntleted, but is here Baruchj)
 <Calpurnia> (yep )
 <Baruch> (Yeah but do I know that he is of this tribunal?)
 <CJ> Iudicium, "Baruch, which of the 13 Tribunals do you believe your covenant belongs to)
 <Makara> (Ramon gonna tie us down to one faction isn't it >>)
 <Helpax> (Silas is also from house Mercere, not that it changes stuff)
 <CJ> (Baruch - nope)
 <Baruch> (Can I roll for how this stuff works, or do I know it automatically`?"
 <Class> (No if at all Ramon is of the Spanish Tribunal how ever it is called)
 <Baruch> (I.e. what tribunal and what decides and all that)
 <CJ> Iudiciumilas of Mercer, apprentice. You are a Gifted  Redcap. Which Tribunal does your covenant belong to?"
 <Silas_> (yep, my dad ought to be a mage too, if needed. )
 <CJ> (All the assembled magi are watching expectantly)
 <Makara> (try and stay neutral)
 <Calpurnia> (Its the Therian tribunal)
 <Calpurnia> (Which occupies spain)
 <Silas_> (which occpies Germany?)
 <CJ> Talions voice takes on an edge of menace. Baruch, I will ask again, one more time. Which Tribunal do you all belong to?"
 <Calpurnia> Rhine
 <Class> (Thats the Rhine Tribunal)
 <Baruch> (Can we still have the apprentices gauntleted in this tribunal if we belong to another one? What determines where we belong? Has the covenant schosen an allegiance)
 <CJ> (Iberia = Spain. Rhine -= Germany. Thebes = Greece)
 <Baruch> (I can't answer that unless I know what my character knows!)
 <Helpax> (Iberian Tribunal has spain, I think...)
 <CJ> (yes you can, if the Presiding Quaesitor consents)
 <Baruch> (I mean if the covenant has chosen tribunal)
 <CJ> (and the covenant has no allegiance)
 <Baruch> (Ok)
 <Makara> (we are neutral)
 <Baruch> "Our covenant has no allegiance to a specific tribunal."
 <Helpax> (oh my)
 <Silas_> "My guardians belong to the Rhein Tribunal"
 <Baruch> "We ask that our apprentices be gauntleted here, at your consent"#
 <CJ> (tribunals - Novgorod (Russia) Rome (italy) Iberia (Spain) Levant (Holy Land) and so forth)
 <CJ> Yes Baruch, says Talion, but which Tribunal is your covenant in?
 <Makara> (WE BELONG IN THE SKY)
 <Makara> (SCREW YOUR TURF)
 <Baruch> "It is currently above this one, but it moves, hence this is not permaenent."
 <CJ> (Normandy France , Provence, S. Fance, Transylvaniia etc, etc)
 <CJ> The Praeco look surpsised,an d turns to Iudiciusm
 <Makara> (tell them we have no control of its movement)
 <CJ> Iudicium Grand Tribunal can decide where they belong
 <Calpurnia> (watch as when the grand tribunal convenes we are in South America)
 <CJ> Iudicium however apprentices gauntleted here will remain members of this Tribunal for the next seven years
 <CJ> Iudiciusmowever, we may Gauntlet their apprentices, certainly!
 <Class> (ohh my)
 <Calpurnia> (^ which means?)
 <CJ> Iudiciusmhere are their parentes?
 <CJ> (You have no idea!)
 <Makara> (which mean we can pick who to gauntlet us and join their side I guess)
 <Baruch> "Some are dead, others in twilight, and yet others remain at the covenant."
 <Helpax> (lol this is going to be fun!)
 <Class> (Yes this is realy bad -.-)
 <Makara> (CAN WE SELF GAUNTLET?)
 <CJ> Iudicium looks at Baruch surprised. "are they ashamed of their apprentices?!!!"
 <CJ> (Sorry Makara, nope!)
 <Makara> (Can I ask someone else to gauntlet us?)
 <Baruch> (Do I know why Tomas and Pistrello are not here?)
 <CJ> Edward of Milton, shouts "I HAVE DONE ALL THIS. PRAECO, IF I MAY???"
 <Makara> (someone else of great magic)
 * Silas_ bites his lips to stop himself from coming with an outburst
 <CJ> (nope Baruch, they never said!)
 <Baruch> I wait for what Edward says
 <CJ> Edward "ALL is in ORDER. I arrnaged ALL OF THIS last night"
 * Helpax grinds his teeth in fury
 <CJ> Talion looks at Iudicium, who nods, with a cynical twisted smile
 <CJ> The seprent on his cheek starts to spin and writher violently
 <Makara> "If I my intrude, does that mean we can choose who to gauntlet us?"
 <CJ> Talionost irregular, but you may proceed now Edward!
 <CJ> Iudicium and Talion stare dangerously at Makara, but say nothing
 <CJ> Edward BARUCH! please present the first apprentice for Gauntlet!"
 * Helpax resists the urge to faepalm
 <Calpurnia> facepalms
 <Baruch> "Very well. Silas, would you?"
 <CJ> Everyone falls silent and looks at Baruch
 * Silas_ gives Helpax a sly smile
 <CJ> Now everyone looks at Silas
 * Silas_ steps forward
 <Calpurnia> (afk)
 <CJ> EdwardILAS - NAME AND HOUSE PLEASE!
 <Silas_> "I would be honoured"
 <Silas_> "I am Silas Duerr of house Mercere"
 * Helpax returns his friend's smile
 <CJ> And who is the examinor?
 <Calpurnia> (back)
 <CJ> There is a shiffling noise, and an ancient magius walks forward
 * Silas_ looks uncertain, looking hopeful at the crowd
 <CJ> He is wwaering very rich magical robes, embroidered with the symbols of St George slaying the dragon, and many signs associated with the planet Mercury
 <CJ> "I Viator of Mercury shall test this apprentice"
 <CJ> Iudiciusm draws a circle in the snow, and indicates that Silas should enter it
 <CJ> Everyone crowds round
 <CJ> Iudicium casta  spell on the circle, which glows wuth a bright silver light
 * Silas_ enters the circle somewhat cautiously
 <CJ> The ancient Viator walks up, and stares at you intently
 <Helpax> "Ceramon...a dual..."
 <Class> (btw do I know my "sponsor" from my time in Crintera?)
 <CJ> "Your parens is known to me. You have potential. You will now be Gauntleted. if you pass, you will be a magus, and I will teach you the secret fo Parma Magica)
 <CJ> (Class; vaguely)
 * Silas_ nods
 <CJ> It looks like Certamen, but as Silas enters the circle, Viator does not.
 <CJ> You will be asked seven questions...
 <Helpax> (Bother)
 <Silas_> (thank the gods)
 <CJ> Viatorhat is the largest city in the 13 tribunals, by size of population?
 <CJ> (everyone falls silent)
 <Makara> (even here is political...)
 <Silas_> "..."
 <CJ> (Silas you got any Area Lores?)
 <Silas_> "It would be.."
 <Class> (Wow I'm sure I couldn't answear this)
 <Calpurnia> "gawl drops"
 <Silas_> (I do not-9
 <CJ> Viator smiles reassuringly
 <Silas_> "Rome, I suspect"
 <CJ> (You can roll Int then!)
 <Helpax> (Not rome then...)
 <Calpurnia> (Could be novgoard)
 <Silas_> (hehe ok)
 <CJ> Viator smiles - which Rome though - Old Rome or New Rome?
 <CJ> (Anyone from Greece here?)
 <Silas_> !roll 1d10+2
 <Anti-Calpurnia_Bot> Silas_9 2
 <Calpurnia> (Close but no cigar)
 <Silas_> (may be too late
 <CJ> (Silas, witha  9 you know the answer is the city of New Rome, better known as Constantinople, the biggest city in Europe)
 <CJ> Viator looks at you patiently
 <Calpurnia> (oh yeah east rome)
 <Silas_> "New Rome, Constantinople)
 <Silas_> "* rather
 <Makara> (you pass history lesson, you shall become wizard.)
 <CJ> Viator says "it is so". The magi applaud politely, a part from a few who make cat calls and say "he didn't know!" (they dinbd't either though)
 <Helpax> (hippocrites)
 <CJ> Viatorecond Question - which planet rules House Mercer?
 <CJ> Mercere even  <Calpurnia> (Mercury )
 <CJ> (this one is quite easy given his robes!)
 <Silas_> "It would be Mercury"
 <Silas_> (indeed ^^)
 <CJ> Viator smiles, and ther eis more genuine applause!
 <CJ> Third Questionou must ask a magi to dinner, in any language but Latin!
 <Calpurnia> (....... I'm doomed)
 <Helpax> (not a question)
 <CJ> (Everyone looks amazed at this weird question!)
 <CJ> (it's an exam question!)
 <Makara> (Wait till you see the criamon question)
 <CJ> (there is a buzz of conversatuion, and several magi complain this is unfair!)
 <Calpurnia> (As I said I'm doomed unless it's so complicated I can understand it)
 <Silas_> "..." [in somewhat halty english "Would you Viator of Mercury, join me for dinner this eve?"
 <CJ> (luckily Edith taught you some Englishhe English speaking amgi all burst out laughing at your accent, then applaud wildly!)
 * Helpax stiffles a laugh then applauds

 <Silas_> Finally ending in Levant
 <CJ> Very good
 <CJ> Viator smiles
 <CJ> Question Six, what is the secret way used by House Mercere to move around Europe?
 * Silas_ wipes a bit of sweat off his brow
 <CJ> (This is an Int + Order of Hermes Lore roll versus 3)
 <Calpurnia> (I actually have learned I do have order of hermes I'm just blind)
 <Silas_> !roll 1d10+2

 <Silas_> (I am workng from my laptop, so everyting is *VERY SMALL* so lindness is quite a pocibility hehe)
 <Silas_> "Mercere operates portals that allow instant transport"
 <CJ> (they are like the Spell Hermes portal, but magic itemes made by mercere the Founder. So the answer is Mercere Portals!)
 <CJ> and finally, the hardest question of all...
 <CJ> Viator waits a few seconds, regarding you carefully ---
 * Silas_ swallows
 <CJ> ViatorWhat do you most desire to accomplish?"
 <Helpax> (doomed! dooomed!)
 <Makara> (extend the mayan calendar)
 <CJ> lol!
 <Silas_> "I would prefer to allevate some of the tensions between the commoners and us, making both parts more tolerant
 <CJ> THere is some applause
 <CJ> Viator smiles. You will now repeat this oath  after me,
 <Silas_> with a look to Talion "perhaps even between us mages in between"
 <CJ>     I Silas of Mercere, hereby swear my ever-lasting loyalty to the Order of Hermes and its members.
 <CJ>     I will not deprive, nor attempt to deprive, any member of the Order of his magical power. I will not slay nor attempt to slay any member of the Order, except in justly executed and formally declared Wizards’ War. I hereby understand that Wizards’ War is an open conflict between two magi who may slay each other without breaking this oath, and that should I be slain in a Wizards’...
 <CJ> ...War, no...
 <CJ> ...retribution shall fall on he who slays me.
 <CJ>     I will abide by the decisions made by fair vote at Tribunal. I will have one vote at Tribunal, and I will use it prudently. I will respect as equal the votes of all others at Tribunal.
 <CJ>     I will not endanger the Order through my actions. Nor will I interfere with the affairs of mundanes and thereby bring ruin on my sodales. I will not deal with devils, lest I imperil my soul and the souls of my sodales as well. I will not molest the faeries, lest their vengeance catch my sodales also.
 <CJ>     I will not use magic to scry upon members of the Order of Hermes, nor shall I use it to peer into their affairs.
 <CJ> I will train apprentices who will swear to this Code, and should any of them turn against the Order and my sodales, I shall be the first to strike them down and bring them to justice. No apprentice of mine shall be called a magus unless he first swears to uphold this Code.
 <CJ> Do you swear this?
 <Calpurnia> (ugh)
 <Silas_> I swear this
 * Silas_ repeats the oath as needed
 <CJ> Then I declare you a magus of the Order of Hermes, and will tach you the secret of Parma Magica now
 <CJ> Viator leads Silas away, chuckling
 <CJ> Everyone applauds!
 <CJ> A Gifted member of House Mercere, they are so rare! Now there are two here at the Tribunal!
 <CJ> There is general merriment
 * Helpax grin and appluads again
 <CJ> EDward of Milton" BARUCH! Present the Second Apprentice!"

 <Baruch> "Class, will you?"
 <CJ> Again Iudiciusm draws a circle in the sow, and cast a spell
 * Class steps forward
 <CJ> This time it seems to be brown and rather muted
 <Silas_> (Woo! time to get something with %ages!)
<CJ> "CLASS, step in to the Circle"
 <CJ> "CORVUS will be your EXAMINER!"
 * Class step onto the circle
 <CJ> Corvus steps forward.
 <CJ> Everyone fall ssilent
 <CJ> Corvus speak now. This is Class of the Clan Sirnas of House Bjornaer. A magus of honour and skill
 <Calpurnia> Whispers "good luck fluffy owl"
 <CJ> It is the custom of our house that three must speak for an apprentice, be they bird, beast, man or magus, woman or fae. Who else will speak for Class,a nd tell us why they can offer praise?
 <CJ> There is silence, as everyone looks round expectantly
 <CJ> Edward fo Milton looks at you lot
 <Calpurnia> (nudges Baruch)
 <Baruch> "I, Baruch of Bonisagus, swear that class is as resourceful and honorable as any."
 <CJ> Edward "!I WILL be the THIRD. Last night CLASS flew in to my tent, and I promise HE WAS a most gracious and apologetic visitor. I found MUCH to like about THIS OWL."
 <CJ> Very well.

 <Makara> "You should listen to the voice of the weather, and you should listen to the voice of your wealth drown."

 |<-- Anti-Calpurnia_Bot has left irc.synirc.net (Client exited)
 |<-- Makara has left irc.synirc.net
 <CJ> OK cool
 <Calpurnia> "Bodily strength as you can't control power if your body is not fit enough to use it"
 <CJ> Siffedhich is more important, to master the world, or to see beyond it?
 <CJ> (her expression gives you no clue)
 <CJ> (almost finished guys, if Calpurnaio makes it through this!)
 <Silas_> (no pressure
 <CJ> anyone there?
 <Silas_> (yep still here ^^)
 <Helpax> (I am...but that does help)
 <Baruch> (Yeah  <Calpurnia> "The world is what one perceives it to be. You can master your own world, but that which lays beyond may contain greater opportunities. Such as twilight and I have learned though as you can't perceive it you can't control it"
 <Helpax> *doesn't
 <CJ> She smiles approvingly at Calpurnia
 <CJ> Is it right to do Eviil so that Good may triumph? Would you deal with a demon to save a soul?

 <Calpurnia> "But what is the cost? That one soul may later do evil be it by there own will or that of the demon's. And either way to deal with a demon is to lose one's soul. So in truth a soul is taken one way or the other"

 <Calpurnia> "There is no such thing as true innocence nor can it truly save you. Wisdom as the ability to save you, though with a price. But, then again you can't get something for nothing"
 <Calpurnia> -has
 <CJ> Siffed smiles. So would you first master your soul by true seeing, or your body by true living? Are the things of the flesh first, or the things of the spirit?
 <CJ> Most of thre magi watching have no idea what is going on at all. They just shrug, and start to trade vis and quietly chat among themselves
 <Helpax> "Criamons..."
 <Calpurnia> "Your spirit is "eternal" in the sense that it will exist after your body is dust. Not to say your body is worthless, but time will some day claim it no matter how you try to stop it."
