- =-= Freespace is now known as Gustbran
- <Momo> unless someone drop the bag
- <Momo> then it will be another undersea adventure
- <Gustbran> I sure hope I don't have to fight anyone immediately with a medium wound.
- <Ramon> grr dont work as writen as +1 touch misses
- <Gustbran> I wonder If I can chirurgery myself...
- * Gustbran knows self-surgery is a bad idea!

- <Ramon> CrIm Fog Base 1, +2 Sun, +1 Touch, +1 Size = lvl 5 Affect only sight
- <Ramon> ok +1 moving = lvl 10
- <Momo> won't that need concentration to control the moving?
- <Ramon> not sure if the moving is fixed to the lovation of the spell
- <Silas_> I just read that summonig a ghost is a rego mentem ritual with a base of 15,.. I really hope we can find one with intellego instead
- <Ramon> if you want to seperate move the illusion than its +2 and need concentration
- <Gustbran> sounds like "maintaining OTHERS demanding spell" is definately a future spell for aiden. :p
- <Silas_> Sounds good :)
- <Ramon> I just reduced the spell to concentration and add maintain concentration to the item ^^
- <Silas_> it seems to be a good way to go about it :)
- <Momo> where to find rule about lab's ward and trap?
- <Ramon> you find some in Covenants
- <Gustbran> By the way, does anyone know what the proper name of <magic realm>'s eternal oblivion is?

- <Ramon> Baruch just sended a update of Ramon and Sedala to you and CJ per mail did you recive it?
- <Ramon> and Hi Wits ^^
- <Baruch> Didn't get it yet, probably under way
- <Ramon> Haved Group with only +1 and needed +1 Magnitute for Size in some spells beside that penetration for extern spells on sedala is a problem ^^
- <Baruch> What external spells would those be? Ramon can't cast, right?
- <Ramon> but he haved a blanket that let Sedala look like a normal horse
- <Ramon> remember Redcap get magic items
- <Silas_> I hope the crown is in one of the remaining bags...
- <Silas_> (and that we can get it..)
- <Momo> can't we intellego it?
- <Silas_> we can, most likely
- <Silas_> it's probably there anyway
- <Ramon> Hi CJ
- <Silas_> Hiya CJ
- <Corbenik> CJ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- <CJR> Sorry about that chaps. Blasted pc was installing update to virus software, took me ten minutes to get in.
- <Ramon> ^^
- <CJR> How it go last week?
- <Silas_> well, we got a few dragonscales and a sickly dragon infestation :p
- <CJR> :D
- <CJR> We finishing Lost In the Wash today?
- <Baruch> Depends - if a dragon dissolving into our city counts as good, then it wen good :D
- <Baruch> Yes
- <Silas_> Yep sounds right
- <CJR> OK, cool. I need to grab my stuff, so everyone just work out hwere exactly they were whe we ended - back in 1 min
- <Silas_> we 'finished' the story last time, but we may have to figure out how to get rid of the dragon thing at some point :p
- <Ramon> (Sorry CJ haved to send you update for Ramon and Sedala because I stumbled up some huge mistakes in Sedalas Spells and a magic item of Ramon)
- <Momo> :p
- <Silas_> I was with Ramon and Baruch on Sedala, and we just caught a bag, didn't we?
- <Momo> we caught like two bags, both not the jewel
- <Momo> rare stuff though
- <Baruch> I am up by Sedala, yes, and the crown is probably either on the superknight or on one of the two women who remain on the opposite shore still
- <Ramon> And Ramon was kind of pissed because Baruch nearly hit one of the giant wings of Sedala
- <Baruch> Unless they gave the crown to the mercenary, who was washed away
- <Baruch> Which would be a problem
- <Silas_> ah right, it was the scepter we got on Sedala, and Gust has the apple
- <Momo> I doubt it
- <Momo> have to be superknight
- <Silas_> Edith is sitting on the King's family jewels...
- <Gustbran> I agree with momo
- <Corbenik> BARUCH GET THE PACK FROM AWESOME GUYS HORSE, I CAN"T TAKE IT WITHOUT LOSING A ARM OR WITHOUT NEEDING A WAY OUT QUICKLY
- <Silas_> tisk tisk
- <Gustbran> I also agree with corbenik.
- <Baruch> I think he'll take your arm if the bag suddenly disappears, though
- <Momo> worth your grog arm for it
- <Baruch> I doubt he'll buy "it just took off suddenly and flew into that cloud" :D
- <Silas_> lol
- <Gustbran> at least he has a head start if he isn't right in front of the guy.
- <Corbenik> Well heres the thing, I don't have a bag on me, also by then running time.
- <Corbenik> also it's a companion arm
- <Silas_> He's on horse though..
- <Corbenik> off
- <Gustbran> I'd be tempted to take the guy on regardless if I was still at full strenght.
- <Baruch> Not anymore, he took off to look for th eking
- <Corbenik> He got off after reaching the shore
- <Silas_> ah right
- <Momo> we can catch them
- <Baruch> I think I'll try putting him to sleep if I can still see them
- <Silas_> good thing we are recapping a bit clearly :)
- <Momo> we need a intellego expert for all these adventure
- <Silas_> my memory is a bit selective
- <CJR> OK, who who is where? :)
- * Momo with sedala
- * Baruch likewise
- <Corbenik> I am by Edith and awesome knights horse
- <Gustbran> I was being dragged by the noblewoman to the shore.

- <CJR> The Wellestreame is still a swirling mass of faoming water, but the bore has passed

- <Corbenik> (aka, we can stop worrying about water and start worrying about other things)
- <Gustbran> (like the superknight)
- <Momo> (It's always water for momo)
- <CJR> The waers are still treacherous...

- <Ramon> "And Baruch be more carfull with your spells next time you nearly hit a wing of Sedala what would probably end in a bad landing"
- <Baruch> Are the king and the knight anywhere to be seen?

- * Silas_ waves Momo to calm
- <CJR> The noblewoman Marion cheerfully drops Gutsbran on the shore and makes her way over to The Greatest Knight in The World, or William Marshal as his friends know him.

- <Baruch> No botch, so just 8
- <Corbenik> (someone else catch the bastard)
- <CJR> The bag flies in to the air and circles...
- <Baruch> (This is bad for Baruch's self-esteem :D)
- <Silas_> "Careful with that! If it hits the water..."
- <Corbenik> (what self-esteem?)
- <Baruch> (:)
- <Momo> (Not as bad as Antonious)
- <Corbenik> :R
- <Silas_> (hehe)
- <CJR> Corbenik?
- <CJR> Gustbran?
- <Gustbran> (I assume that sir william knows that the king is ill at this point?)
- <Ramon> (Did I hit with my meager 10)
- <Momo> (Gustbran, the knight tell you to kneed)
- <Silas_> (When you are gone CJ Antonius usually suffers from public humiliation :p )
- * Corbenik still waiting for Gust
- <CJR> Yes. William again says "Gustbran, kneel before me!"
- <CJR> (He suffers from it when I'm around too!)
- <Gustbran> (dammit, whatshoud I do!)
- <Momo> (Do it gust, he might be knighting you)
- <Corbenik> whispers "kneel"
- <Silas_> (did you ever want to be a knight? :) )
- * Gustbran kneels.
- <Momo> (Heads off, yay, ghost)
- <Gustbran> (I *KNOW* I'm gonna regret this.)
- <CJR> I dub thee a knight says william, and knocks you over with the flat of his sword
- <Silas_> (oh I should hope so :) )
- <Momo> ((win win for us either way))
- <Corbenik> (not surprising)
- <CJR> Ok back to catching the bag
- <CJR> Who is doing that?
- <CJR> Ramon?
- <Momo> ( I already used my action this turn : ( )
- <Gustbran> (I'm not really interested in killing a king, too.)
- <Ramon> (I shot a the Light Crossbow!)
- <CJR> Yes what was the roll, sorry Ramon it moves so fast!
- <Momo> (It circles too, so it unpredictable!)
- <Corbenik> (Do it, the guy has explosive dieharrea and yeah he would have already been cured if William could do it)
- <Ramon> 10
- <CJR> it was an ignited bolt...
- <Ramon> yes
- <CJR> 10 total of ten on the dice?
- <Momo> (jewel is fireproof I hope)
- <Ramon> (totall of 10
- <CJR> at the knight.
- <Gustbran> (all right, I'll head over to the king as soon as I can.)
- <CJR> His armour will stop that, but he will be waking up, and worse still on fire!
- <CJR> OK new round
- <CJR> Gustbran, you find the King graoning and squatting emtyying his bowls
- <CJR> bowels even!
- <CJR> lol
- <Corbenik> (he really needed to empty those bowls water got all in them:P )
- <Gustbran> (If I roll it It'll be at -2 because of my medium wound, right)
- <Gustbran> (?)
- <Momo> (better not chirugy the king)
- <Silas_> (hehe)
- <Corbenik> (Why you have to go and get hurt)
- <Ramon> (He can use it to diagnostic whats up)
- <Corbenik> (oh yeah, are you only allowed to use 1 confidence or can you spend more? always figured 1)
- <Ramon> (Only when you have a special Virtue you can put more then 1 in)
- <Corbenik> (ahhhh)
- <Baruch> (Yes, 1 normally)
- <Gustbran> (yeah, I'll do it with confidence if needed *gulp*)
- <Momo> (Confidently botched)
- <Baruch> (:D)
- <Corbenik> (.............. don't)
- <CJR> Yes you will be at -2
- <Momo> (with a smug)
- <Gustbran> !roll 1d10-2 (chirurgery on king)
- <Magic_Dice> Gustbran, (chirurgery on king): 0 :2-2
- <Momo> (chocking the king as you smile)
- <CJR> Have you got any chrurgery?
- <CJR> (At least you did not botch!)
- <Corbenik> (........ why, what is your specialty)
- <Momo> (any specialization)
- <Gustbran> (I have two points!)
- <Momo> total is 2 with condident
- <CJR> Gustbran realises the King is far beyond his ability to treat.
- <Baruch> (You're just diagnosing him, right?)
- <Corbenik> (thank god)
- <CJR> RAmon, the barge is now closing fast, and is full of french spearmen
- <Corbenik> (Baruch~~~~~)
- <CJR> The bore has slowed them in the backwash, but they are now moving up river
- <Momo> (If we attack an army, we would really be interfearing with mandane)
- <Baruch> (Yep)
- <Corbenik> (uhhh have you not seen what we already have done?)
- * Ramon fire a empty shot = Fire Damage 5
- <Momo> (I mean in a major scale)
- <Silas_> (Are the french by the fishwife doing anything?)
- <Ramon> Target the boat
- <Corbenik> (you guys don't know this in character but we actually lead to the saving of that English town)
- <CJR> One is flailing around outting out a fire, two are snoring!
- <CJR> RAmon, sorry confused, whgat that?
- <CJR> Got ya!
- <CJR> OK, suddenly you all here shouts from other river as a bolt of fire hits the sail on the barge
- <Baruch> Where did the bag I rolled finesse 8 with go?
- * Ramon target the barge with a dmg 5 Fire bolt voice range)
- <CJR> (technically a wherry)
- <CJR> Fell in to the river!
- <Silas_> (flying in circles I think :) )
- <Baruch> (Fuuk)
- <Momo> (down the drain)
- <CJR> It was but no one grabbed it so it slipped beneath the waves
- <Silas_> (it fell into the water? :( )
- <Silas_> (damnit...)

- <Momo> (Fishy could had grab them all in water)
- <CJR> Momo, that bag from the fishwifes horse was round and suspiciously crown shaped!
- <CJR> BAck to Corbenik abd Gustbran, what you doing?
- * Momo point at the bag, "I think it's that one! It's crown shaped!"
- * Corbenik standing
- <Baruch> (Is that the one that went into the water or the one that is still down with the wife?)
- * Corbenik actually going to go back to Edith
- <Baruch> (It's the one that didn't go in the water, right? Since I targeted the nun with the original botched spell, and the one that went into the water was that same one)
- <Momo> (So many damn bags!)
- <CJR> Edith is watching with Mirabelle a plume of smoke rising up the river
- <Corbenik> (look at it this way, we are going to have a lot of money after this)
- <CJR> Sorry the nun's bag s the one i intended to say
- <CJR> apologies!
- <Baruch> (So the one in the river?)
- <Ramon> (Grr so its the one in the watter)
- <CJR> Ramon, the barge is burning nicely. Well the sial is.
- <Momo> (Two jewel in the water)
- <Baruch> I'll spont clear sight of the naiad on myself and look for the bag in the water - it makes me see through water as if air, so should be able to spot it easily
- <Gustbran> (I'm not in the shape to try swimming again)
- <Silas_> (good idea :) )
- <Momo> (someone need to learn swimming skill at this ratE)
- <CJR> Go for it Baruch!
- <Baruch> !roll 1d10+8 (sponting clear sight of the naiad, against level 5)
- <Magic_Dice> Baruch, (sponting clear sight of the naiad, against level 5): 13 :5+8
- <Corbenik> (I would go swimming, but i don't have swimming skill)
- <Ramon> (Even raised in a coastal city ramon never lerned to swimm)
- <Momo> (This is why we need a fish character at all time)
- <CJR> OK Barch's spell works
- <CJR> BAruch make a Per + Awareness please!
- <CJR> :)
- <Baruch> !roll 1d10+1
- <Magic_Dice> Baruch: 9 :8+1
- <Momo> (Wind the bag up!)
- <CJR> The bag is bowling rapidly along the bottom in the currrent towards the Frenc barge
- <Ramon> (Under watter the boundary of Air ends so he need a different trick ^^)
- <Momo> (spont aqua maybe)
- <Momo> (aquam)
- <Corbenik> (hmmm make a water spout)
- <Corbenik> (or water twister)
- <Momo> (Makara would had that spell!)
- <Momo> (ahhhh all my char ~~~)
- <CJR> It wiould indeed make a water sopout, fromthe target to Sedala
- <CJR> phone.
- <CJR> Need a 5 min break sorry :(
- <Baruch> What difficulty would it be to rego aquam it to the shore? Base 4 "control liquid in a forceful but calm way"? Or would base 3 be enough?
- <Baruch> Ok, break
- <Corbenik> (hmmm isn't a water spout could be considered a part of weather?)
- <Gustbran> (Yeah, a tornado on the water!)
- <Gustbran> (If the water's shallow, which it is!)
- <Gustbran> (It should suck up the bag)
- <Corbenik> (I just had a, something, it's amazing magic hasn't screwed over the world with all you can do)
- <Ramon> (Wow that would be drastical probablky need +2 very unnatural)
- <Baruch> (I think the level of the tornado idea might be too high for baruch to spont)
- <Ramon> (its just lvl 5 Base ^^)
- <Silas_> (if you can coerce it into shore then it would be enough
- <Momo> (Blow wind to wash the water ashore)
- <Momo> (If the bag haven't sunk too deep)
- <Ramon> (the problem ist that its probably considerd unnatural)
- <Momo> (Wind blow on water all the time!)
- <Gustbran> (
- <Baruch> (Did CJ say whether the bag was animal or plant matter? Leather probably?)
- <Silas_> most likely)
- <Ramon> (Base 5 +2 Voice +1 diam/conc +? Unnatural)
- <Momo> (Rich king have expansive leather)
- <CJR> Leather. Animal
- <CJR> I'm back now
- <Ramon> (For the TOrnado)
- <CJR> Sorry about that
- <CJR> (friend ill in hopsital, arranging visit)
- <Gustbran> (bummer.)
- <Silas_> (no worries, we are figuring out how to get a crown)
- <CJR> Whatsthe plan?
- <CJR> Okey doke, keep plotting!
- <Silas_> (ah, sorry to hear)
- <Ramon> (its allways bad if a friend is at the hospital)
- <Gustbran> (Well, let's see if plan A is even plausible)
- <Baruch> (Would base 3 be enough to rego animal the bag? There's no proper guideline in animal, but in herbam it's "control an amount of wood", so probably any plant matter. If it's base 3 I can do it)
- <Baruch> (Or there is base 1 rego animal "manipulate things made frmo animal products")
- <Baruch> (Which would make it trivial)
- <Momo> (turn it into air)
- <CJR> Base + 1 for complexity I think, and moving totally unnaturally so Base 3
- <Ramon> (bad idea as then the crown would sink ^^)
- <Gustbran> (I still like the tornado idea.)
- <CJR> Base 3 for the bag.
- <Momo> (Air would bubble up the wateR)
- <Ramon> (and whats inside would sink)
- <Baruch> (No the crown won't sink, it's in the bag)
- <Momo> (ah)
- <Ramon> (If you turn the bag to air it would sink)
- <Baruch> Ok, so I think I'll try to spont the bag out of the water with rego, base 3 + voice + concentration so level 10
- <Baruch> That ok?
- <Baruch> (No wait, base)
- <CJR> Voice is =2, s 5 and Conce + 1 for twen so yeah
- <CJR> That si 10
- <Baruch> ok
- <Momo> (roll a 10~)
- <CJR> Base 3 +2 for Voice, +1 Concentration
- <Baruch> !roll 1d10+17 (shouting & waving)

- <Ramon> (Ride+? to catch it with sedalas help?)
- <Momo> (I think it's free)
- <CJR> No it's free, you don't have to roll
- <Ramon> (OK just wondered because dirk only have one hand free)
- <Baruch> (Baruch's finesse didn't suck for once :)
- <Ramon> (err Ramon ^^)
- <CJR> Corbenik, Gutstbran, Silas, all the Kings party are now staring ta what Sir William is calling "the French cloud!"
- <CJR> What you going to do?
- <Momo> (fly away?)
- <Baruch> Look in the bag
- <CJR> The King emerges from the bushes, and shouts "let us ride on to Newark at once!"
- <Ramon> "I think we should gain hight to get out of target range and then check if we have everything!"
- <CJR> Baruch: it contains an impressibe silver crown!
- <Corbenik> ".... uhhh should we flee from that" points at cloud, in english
- <Corbenik> (to william and king)

- <CJR> "Yes good sir!"" shouts the King "away, and to hell with the crown jewels!"
- <Momo> "I suggest we leave Gustbran and Edith with them so we don't have to sacrifice them to Antonious"
- <Baruch> "There is that."
- <Momo> "Gustbran also seems to be treated nicely, so they should be fine"
- <Ramon> (How long till dawn?)
- <CJR> Corbenik, Silas, Gustbran and Edith are down there though
- <Baruch> Not silas
- <Momo> (Momo seperating people since calpurnia~)
- <CJR> It's afternoon. About t four hours till sunset
- <Ramon> (Ok so 4h still to act and pick them up but for now a tactical retreat is best)
- <CJR> You have what you came for, but the French are swarming out of that barge
- <Silas_> "... No, I don't think so. Edith knows where to bury it, we need her aid"
- <CJR> Ramon Per + Awareness please
- <Baruch> "We should come back for them later. We cannot leave Corbenik, to be sure. But we should not announce their connection with us."
- <CJR> for you and Sedala
- <Gustbran> (you remember I've still one of the jewels!)
- <Momo> "We can come back later, now we need to bring the jewel to safety!"
- <CJR> OK the Royal party or what is left of it has gathered on horses, and prepare to ride on.

- <Ramon> !Roll 1d10 (sedala rerol)
- <Magic_Dice> Ramon, (sedala rerol): 3
- <CJR> Farewell my friends!
- <Ramon> (Sedala = 10 Ramon =2)
- <Momo> "We also can't risk exposing ourself"
- <CJR> Sedala, the area is swarming with French knights approaching from various directions, not to mention the fifty spearmen rapidly escaping the burning barge
- <Momo> "And and that army over there."
- <Momo> "so yeah, go home."
- <Ramon> "We need to get our groun members up or the French get them!"
- <CJR> The royal party heads off, leaving the characters on the river bank
- <Momo> "Do some illusion to let them get away"
- <Silas_> "We can't go home..."
- <CJR> belatedly the priorss rides over towards you
- <CJR> (sorry duded back in minute: Phone: make a plan!)
- <Momo> (gustbran could have william become his mentor!)
- <Ramon> (Baruch is drained so Silas any good magic?)
- <Baruch> (Can you spont rise of the feathery body at rego 10 Silas?)
- <Silas_> We can't go back, not without the others, Antonius would not let us return for them, I think
- <Silas_> corpus?
- <Baruch> (Baruch is only at -1, but can't really spont more than 1 spell at level 10 anymore)
- <Baruch> (Yeah rego corpus)
- <Ramon> "We can't let them become french prisoner!"
- <Silas_> (I could probably, once..)
- <Corbenik> (if you told that to Corbenik he would laugh and draw his sword)
- <Silas_> Can you call fog Baruch?
- <Baruch> (That's a good idea, actually - lessee how big I could make it)
- <Ramon> (You can anouce you cast a fog as big as posible with Sponatan)
- <Baruch> (Yeah, that seems like a good idea)
- <Silas_> Since we've likely seen the King and knight leaving we can likely land with th fog in
- <Silas_> and gather the others
- <Baruch> Yes, that shall be the plan
- <Silas_> Then, I suggest, we follow to where ever Edtih wishes to go, to Bury it - and find a way to summon the guardian ghost
- <Momo> (You better gather other mage to help out then)
- <Baruch> (We don't know if there's a ritual needed, though do we?)
- <Ramon> (Depend if its a non Hermetic Ritual we mages are also not of to much help)
- <Momo> (Most certainly for something so powerful)
- <Silas_> which other mages though :p Antonius would likely save the vis and just murder someone
- <Momo> (Well, just Gustbran)
- <Silas_> or Edith..
- <Baruch> (We should ask Edith if she knows how that stuff works - if she knows how to do it we could try without going to Antonius)
- <Silas_> or Anna..
- <Momo> (Antoniouis did promise to extend edith life or something)
- <CJR> OK< I'm back now
- <CJR> OK, back to game
- <CJR> What is ahppening?
- <Baruch> CJ: The plan is for Baruch to spont as big of a fog he can, and try to land in the fog and get the people
- <CJR> OK, ther ei salready mist, is rego coule draw it together, muto could make it more opaque, or you can just creo it
- <CJR> What si the plan1
- <CJR> is already mist
- <Momo> (against an army, more creo seems betteR)
- <Baruch> Well, Baruch's creo is as good his rego, so unless there's a difference in difficulty or smth it should be the same, right?
- <Silas_> (agrees with Momo)
- <Ramon> (I would say it depend where Baruch is beter)
- <Baruch> I think I'll creo it then, since the base individual and all is the same, maybe we'll get a thicker fog that way?
- <Momo> techinically
- <Momo> (Now start farting those fogs out)
- <CJR> Yes Creo it is then
- <Ramon> (rego could control the mist to thiken what is probably lvl 3)
- <CJR> OK, well the target is an issue
- <Baruch> !roll 1d10+43 (no shouting and waving just in case)
- <Magic_Dice> Baruch, (no shouting and waving just in case): 50 :7+43
- <CJR> Group will do :)
- <CJR> OK< a thick mist speings up round the chartacters, and moves out from them!
- <CJR> The Prioress who was crossing the river on her donkey yells in terror
- * Ramon fly with sedala in the fog and land
- <Baruch> I'll do it at concentration so it remains until I stop it
- <CJR> she can't see where to go!
- * Gustbran mutters under his breath. "Not again!"
- <CJR> Sedala lands
- <CJR> you are all back together!
- <Corbenik> "Well at least this time we can guess what caused it"
- <CJR> However the prioress is sin trouble
- <Silas_> (can we see that though? :p )
- <Ramon> "Put her in slep and drop her of somewhere?"
- <Baruch> I'll maintain concentration on the fog until we are out of there
- <Corbenik> (question who is this prioress, and what is it at that)
- <Gustbran> (one thing after another...)
- <Baruch> I can see through the fog since I cast that spell earlier and it's duration sun
- <Ramon> (Ramon didnt chancel his spell and Sedala see also)
- <CJR> Sure you can see her and her donkey. She is clutching a mouse1
- <CJR> RAmon nd Sedala see her
- <Momo> (That mouse)
- <CJR> she might plunge off the ford any momemt
- <Silas_> (hungry Momo? )
- <Momo> (No that woman I turn into mouse)
- <Ramon> (Momo there is a mouse!)
- <Momo> (You want me to roll cat isn't it?)
- <Silas_> (up to you hehe)
- <Ramon> (No you keep on sedala)
- <Momo> (Well I can't eat human-mouse)
- <CJR> You know her name is Mother Isabelle
- <Silas_> (might be bad when it returns back)
- <CJR> Whats the plan?
- <Baruch> (Momo can't see the mouse, though I think, because of the fog)
- <Ramon> can I try to grab her?
- <Momo> (yay)
- <Ramon> (if the fog is including her)
- <CJR> Sure, on foot or on sedala?
- <CJR> Yes the fog is why she has a problem!
- <Silas_> (gather everyone back on the Sedala and ask if Edith knows where to go and how to find the ghost guardian)
- <Silas_> (for the slightly longer term)
- * Corbenik stand in place and wonder what's going on back at the city
- <Ramon> foot and hand her of to edith
- <CJR> Edith says the crown was buried near Bures...
- <CJR> Mother Isabelle is led to safety by RAmon.
- <Ramon> "I couldn't let her on her own as mouse"
- <Baruch> (One of the women is a mouse and is held by the second woman, prioress, who is not a mouse)
- <Silas_> "It was very kind of you Ramon, I had almost forgotten them"
- <Baruch> "Well done. Let us get out of here, now.
- <Ramon> "Ok then up up and away"
- <Ramon> (just wanted to say this as player ^^)
- <Momo> "To home or bures?"
- <Silas_> "Bures"
- * Gustbran relates to the party what happened on the ground.
- <Momo> "I hope you know what you are doing"
- <Silas_> "We cannot return back with the crown..."
- <Momo> "I thought that's what antonious asked"

- <Baruch> (CJ: It would be good if you posted them, yes)
- <Corbenik> (hehehehhe if it's the same ritual then lolz)
- <Baruch> "You can't or you won't?"
- <Momo> "Just summon her father ghost and ask"
- * Silas_ gives her an encuraging smile
- <Gustbran> (Do *I* know anything about it?)
- <CJR> Edir goes quiet and takes Silas by the hand
- <CJR> Gustbran, you know the Crown Guardian was your uncle yes
- <Momo> (Gustbran might know)
- <CJR> You know eh knew the secret place, and th e "words"
- <CJR> but only his son would know them after him.
- <CJR> That is the way ot works
- <CJR> And he never had a son :(
- <CJR> The first time ever it happened
- <CJR> and now he si dead
- <Silas_> [to Edith] "we can solve this, we got the crown..."
- <CJR> The crown is magnificent.
- <CJR> It would buy you a county or three
- <CJR> The King of France would make you all incredibly rich for it
- <Corbenik> (okay time to buy france and hungary)
- <Silas_> (or save one ^^)
- <CJR> (Hungary richest kingdo in Europe, so not quit that rich!)
- <Corbenik> (awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww)
- <Silas_> (but... there are french people in France...!)
- <Baruch> (We also have the scepter and the cup, so money isn't an issue is it :D)
- <Silas_> ( :p )
- <CJR> (Hungary has more cash that England France and Italian cities put together right now)
- <Silas_> (Gust has the Aplle too)
- <Silas_> (apple*)
- <Ramon> "So if Edith and Gustbran dont know the way we have to get back to the flying city!"
- <Momo> (We can wait till frence is richest, we have long lifespan anyway :p )
- <CJR> BAruch, plan?
- <CJR> EDith knows where
- <Momo> (MIND READ)
- <CJR> Silas Per + Folk Ken please, with +3 bonus
- <Ramon> "its up to Silas and Baruch if they want to investigate there first"
- <Silas_> !roll 1d10+5
- <Magic_Dice> Silas_: 11 :6+5
- <Baruch> (We don't have any idea what we should do with the crown beyond burying it and talking to Polandrus at the moment, do we?)
- <Momo> (Roll well and someone is not getting marry this spring :d)
- <Gustbran> (mmm...)
- <CJR> Silas: edith knows much more than she is saying! You think this is because she has sworn something
- <Silas_> [whsipering to Edith] "If we can bury this and restore the ritual then your family oath is forfilled"
- <Silas_> "please.."
- <Gustbran> (*fulfilled)
- <Silas_> (quite ^^)
- <CJR> Silas Pre + Charm
- <Silas_> (one of the words that still haunts my written language)
- <Corbenik> (roll it man)
- <Silas_> !roll 1d10+4
- <Magic_Dice> Silas_: 9 :5+4
- <Baruch> (Confidence?)
- <Silas_> (will spend if needed)
- <Ramon> (What language are you using for this conversation? English?)
- <CJR> Edith whispers to silas: I can take you tot he place, but only my father's son can know the words, and he never taught them to me
- <CJR> English
- <CJR> Unless we could talk ot my father, and find a son he never had, we can not do this thing
- <Silas_> [whispering] "Where can we find your father's son?..."
- <CJR> He has no son!
- <Gustbran> (no legitimate children, at least...)
- <Momo> (Time to summon that ghost to produce a son)
- <CJR> I was his daughter, as is Anna
- <Corbenik> "Enough of this foolishness, it is as she says there is no way we can do this"
- <Momo> "So... Can we turn Anna into a man?"
- <Gustbran> (hahahah!)
- <Momo> "Or Edith"
- <Momo> "Bam, Son."
- <CJR> Brother Gui may have issues with that plan!
- <Corbenik> "well first off she is already married and yeah)
- <CJR> She isn't married yet
- <Momo> "Edith it is"
- * Silas_ glares at you all
- <Corbenik> (anna isn't yet?)
- <Momo> "It's temporary"
- <Momo> "I guess"
- * Momo at baruch
- <Momo> look at
- <Ramon> "A Corpus Mage could do this but Anna didn't marry if I understand the news I got"
- <CJR> How can a dead man gain a son? says Edith
- <Corbenik> "He can't"
- <Silas_> "Do you suppose your father might say the words, if.... if you appeared, as a son?"
- <CJR> (CJ: there is a way actually - legally)
- <Silas_> (hopes very much she doesn't punch me off Sedala...)
- <CJR> "I think he would know I was his daughter)
- <CJR> Are you still on the ground btw? You cna hear knights approaching through the mist
- * Silas_ nods
- * Ramon lift off
- <Momo> "You are techincally a son in male form though"
- <Baruch> Nonono flying off :D
- <Corbenik> "Don't forget there just being a male there doesn't make it a son, the ghost must recognition it, also can we fight them"
- <Ramon> (Thats why I sayed Up Up and Away bevore"
- <Silas_> "ahh..."
- <Corbenik> (recognize)
- <Momo> "The ghost is not that stubborn I hope"
- <CJR> You leave the ground with second s to spare, as a party of knights lances levelled gallop through the fog!
- <Baruch> (What form is summoning and speaking with ghosts?)
- <Silas_> "I have an idea.."
- <CJR> OK< who has Magic Lore?
- <Silas_> "A son,.. it could be a son-in-law, could it not?"
- <CJR> Anyone with it can make Int + Magic Lore rolls
- <Ramon> <---
- <CJR> or Int + Common Law if anyone has that
- <Silas_> (has neither)
- <Momo> can momo's Profession: Autocrat works for law?
- <CJR> Yes that would count says Edith. A son in law is a son in inheritance terms here
- <CJR> Momo: only in the city :)
- <Baruch> (Baruch doesn't have anything)
- <CJR> (the covenant I mean!)
- <Ramon> !roll 1d10+2 (+1 if Regiones)
- <Magic_Dice> Ramon, (+1 if Regiones): 5 :3+2
- <Gustbran> (hoo boy, silas might be the sacrifice!)
- <Corbenik> (okay time to sacrifice)
- <CJR> "So yes, if we marry you will be my fathers son" says Edith to Silas
- * Silas_ nods
- <Ramon> (Poor Silas ^^)
- <Momo> "Good, good, let's go home to wrap this up."
- <CJR> "and if he were living he would tell you the WORDS!""
- <Silas_> "What more is needed? Your fathers words,... any more?"
- <Corbenik> :P
- <CJR> Edith looks confused. "We would have to marry in an English church, for the law to take effect"
- * Ramon set his compass to the City of Ivory and Jade
- <CJR> "No: but he is dead, and can not tll you the words!"
- <CJR> OK RAmon, Sedala flies due northeast
- <Momo> "We have a church in our covenant right?"
- <Silas_> "yes..., we could though,.. if you would marry me there"
- <CJR> (When we stopping btw?)
- <CJR> "yes, if e amrry in a church, yes...)
- <Ramon> "I fly toweard the flying city till you cleard up where you want to go
- <Corbenik> "Don't forget the magus' who want to kill you"
- <Corbenik> to silas
- <Corbenik> "and the french army, and the dragons"
- <CJR> !roll 1d10
- <Magic_Dice> CJR: 4
- <CJR> no drakes yet
- <Silas_> "Not kill us, to make us appear before the Quaestor to answer questions..."
- <Corbenik> "and be executed"
- <Silas_> "We broke no law"
- * Silas_ shakes his head
- <CJR> You cross the coastline and fly through thick fog over The Wash
- <Silas_> "I don't think so, it was a horrible misunderstanding, that is all
- <Corbenik> "you have a grog who attacked the Quastor and as the Quastor is the law then yeah"
- <Corbenik> "... Do you have any idea how many people have died due to a horrible misunderstanding?"
- <CJR> Baruch, Ramon, Sedala, you see a sizable French Fleet scattered below, in great confusion.
- <Baruch> "I would rather not go meet the quaesitor yet. If we are to stand a chance, we must conduct this ritual and appear at tribunal. If they catch us before that, we are in trouble far worse than I want to get into."
- <Corbenik> "Baruch can you make a storm, as they will be a problem should we return?"
- * Ramon think its a good brek point after we discused the things
- <Corbenik> (agreed)
- <Baruch> (Yeah, probably get this sorted out first though)
- <Silas_> "please keep it to yourself Corbenik! I am sure the Quaestor would listen to us to ensure real justice. We need to bury the crown and stop the dragons, after all"
- <Momo> "Oh how naive" Momo sneer
- <Corbenik> "....... ignorance, I find this conversation going no where."
- <CJR> (OK break once everyone agrees...)
- <Baruch> "Corbenik, I think we have interfered enough. With luck, they will not be able to, or bother to, determine who is behind this."
- <Silas_> (yep, a break here would be good)
- <Momo> (break)
- <Corbenik> "Let us hope then"
- <CJR> (Are we finsishing now for today?)
- <Corbenik> (okay I'm done)
- <Ramon> "Now I dont think we should hassle with what happened but more with what to do now to prevent the dragon rising and from this resoulting the end of the world!"
- <Gustbran> (I'm good till whenever)
- <Baruch> Did Silas tell the rest of us about what Edith told him?
- <CJR> You fly through the fog for an hour, discussing matters, and holding the crown of the Empress...
- <Silas_> I'll tell the basic just of it
- <Silas_> jist* of it
- <Silas_> guist?
- <Silas_> meh
- <Gustbran> (jist is correct)
- <CJR> (I need a break t get a drink. If we ant to finish here for the day we can, or if you want to bury the crown I can do another hour, but either way I can't be here next weekend :()
- <Baruch> So what we know is this: Silas or Gui will do as "son" for the purposes of the ritual. We don't know the words yet, though, and would have to get them from their dad's ghost.
- <CJR> Yep.
- <Momo> (They would need to get marry first)
- <Corbenik> :C
- <Baruch> And Silas and Edith would have to get married first
- <CJR> Yep.
- <Baruch> In an English church
- <CJR> Or Anna and Gui
- <Ramon> (I thought Anna and Gui didn't Marry?)
- <Silas_> (yep)
- <CJR> Yep.
- <Baruch> So everything is doable except for contacting Edith's dad
- <Momo> (That's a whole session worth of stuff)
- <Corbenik> (English Church aka in England)
- <CJR> Edith's dad was last seen torm in half by a drake at Libellas
- <Silas_> (also true)
- <CJR> He will be buried there...
- <Silas_> (yeah)
- <Baruch> Oh shit
- <Momo> (We will have to fly everywherE)
- <Gustbran> (oh joy)
- <Corbenik> (wait they surrvived the dragons?)
- <Silas_> (they did)
- <CJR> The good news is if buried ta the coovennat he won't have had a christian burial, maybe
- <Baruch> (They rebuilt)
- <Momo> (best to report to antonious if we need more than a wekk)
- <CJR> The bad news - he is buried at Libellas
- <Corbenik> (Ohhhhhhh shit that means fire woman maybe alive)
- <Ramon> (OK I drop out for today, having 1h more time would be very helpfull bevore the tornament game)
- <Baruch> Does Edith work as an arcane connection to his dad?
- <CJR> Yep...
- <Silas_> (The flamebou woman came out and torched a dragon till it fled)
- <Corbenik> (wasn't there another one)
- <CJR> Yep, Edith will be an arcane connection to her dad
- <Silas_> (one would think so :) )
- <CJR> As will Anna, and maybe even Gustbran
- <Baruch> Ok, so if someone in the covenant had the ritual to contact ghost, we would be able to do it at the covenant EXCEPT for the wedding
- <Momo> (We arent welcome in Liberlus I suspect)
- <CJR> There were two drakes: a white one and balck one
- <Ramon> (Thanks for todays session, see you all then probably next week)
- <CJR> Liebblas is an ally of Voluntas.
- <Baruch> CJ: Does Baruch know if any of the senior magi in the covenant know the rego mentem ritual to summon ghost?
- <CJR> Stephen Eruditus will be DELIGHTED to see you all!
- <Silas_> (ah yeah..)
- <Baruch> (See you Ramon)
- <Silas_> (had forgotten about him)
- <CJR> Baruch: Whispers Through The black Gate? yes, its known
- <Gustbran> (BRING AIDEN!!!!!!!!!)
- <Ramon> (You forgoten about the reason why the problems are there at all?^^)
- <Baruch> Ok, so it does look like we'll have to go back to the covenant
- <Silas_> (I got that one I think)
- <CJR> I the plot coming together a bit now?
- <Corbenik> It's a good thing that Calpurnia is trolling in Scandinavia that way she doesn't have to deal with all this (waves hands at current events)
- <Silas_> (the whispers spell, that is)
- <CJR> have a look!
- <Baruch> CJ: Yeh, I get it now :)
- <Momo> (Oh I will bring you back if I could, Calpurnia)
- <Silas_> (Yep, got the spell :) )
- <Corbenik> (disturbing that thath comes from the cat that gave her away)
- <Momo> (I have an adventure just to bring you back if I must)
- <Corbenik> also by trolling I do actually mean trolling
- <Momo> trollnig included
- <Baruch> (What does the whipersing spell do? I was thinking about another wone)
- <Corbenik> Oh yeah CJR you said you had 1 more hour of free time?
- <CJR> Whisp0ers let's you talk ot a corpse. You have to dig it up though
- <CJR> JUst under but yes :)
- <Momo> finish up your calpunia thing with CJ
- <Corbenik> Care to get skype open?
- <CJR> Yes, I think we need ot do that
- <Silas_> (oh... yay, time to get a shovel :p )
- <Momo> private chat on other room
- <CJR> Yes, give me 5-10 just to sort stuff out here
- <Baruch> I was thinking about Incantation of the summoning dead, CJ
- <Corbenik> M'kay
- <CJR> That would work Baruch. You got it?
- <Baruch> Does baruch know if anyone has that? It's level 40 rego mentem
- <Silas_> ok, thanks for the run, and see you all next time :)
- <Momo> post the result so i can bring you back next game if you haven't already
- <Baruch> No, it's beyond Baruch, but maybe one of the senior magi has it?
- <CJR> OK take care adrian
- <CJR> Annoyingly I'm away next week
- <Gustbran> CJ, what would be the name of the "eternal oblivion" spell variant for magical realm creatures?
- <CJR> You can invent one. I think it's limited to one SORT of magical creature
- <Corbenik> (Dragons, NOW)
- <CJR> So you get Giant's Eternal Oblivion, Dragon's Eternal Oblivion, Spirits Eternal Oblivion, and so forth
- <CJR> Yeah that si right
- <CJR> Demons Eternal Oblivion only works on demons not ALL infernal creatures
- <Momo> make sense
- <Gustbran> I see.
- <Corbenik> (shame)
- <Baruch> CJ: Does Baruch know if any of the senior magi knows the level 40 rego mentem ritual Incantation of Summoning the Dead that allows you to summon ghosts per arcane connection?
- <CJR> Likewise Faeries eternal oblivion works on TYPES of faeries
- <Gustbran> oh?
- <CJR> I'm going to have to check my NPC stats, but ask me on the forum and I'll let you know later
- <Corbenik> (first person to make that spell dies)
- <Gustbran> Even the fairy mage?
- <Corbenik> Hermetic Law : don't molest the faeries
- <Momo> Molest the dragon
- <Gustbran> (it's one thing to know something, another to do so.)
- <Corbenik> exactly
- <CJR> OK I'll get a drink. Anyone log the session?
- <Momo> me
- <Gustbran> Regardless, dragons seem the #1 priority the upcoming season, anyway.
- <Baruch> CJ: Ok, take a look and tell on the forum - it's important for the plan. In any case, I think the plan for now must be to get back to the covenant
- <Corbenik> actually you can be killed knowing anything close to a infernal spell depending on what
- <Baruch> And if someone has the ritual, we should summon Edith's dad by using her as an arcane connection, then ask for the words, then get Silas and Edith married in England, then complete the ritual
- <Corbenik> Demons eternal oblivion is very contravertial from what I read and was for a time illegal
- <Baruch> Hopefully without having to get anyone killed
- <Momo> mainly because you can stack the effect
- <Baruch> Corbenik: I think that concerns mostly spells that summon demons etc, woulnd't think that goes for spells that kill them?
- <Corbenik> Spells the ward demons are shunned spells that summon demons flat out illegal, one momment as I get my infernal book open
- <Momo> demon ward in sanctum is okay though?
- <Gustbran> What!?
- <Corbenik> Hmm one momment
- <Gustbran> Then why is "Circular Ward Against Demons" part of the main list of spells?
- <Corbenik> Wards against demons don;t work that well and are mainly used to keep demons within and not without
- <CJR> You need to get them amried before you summon the ghost
- <CJR> married
- <Momo> the ward is mostly use for summoning
- <Corbenik> yep
- <Baruch> Right, because he won't tell the words otherwise.
- <Gustbran> well, bugger.
- <Momo> they are marring in.. spring?
- <Corbenik> Actually why am I looking for the spell I should just find the law
- <Baruch> So we should probably do the marriage now that we are down in england anyway
- <Baruch> Before heading up
- <Corbenik> DEALING WITH DEMONS
- <Corbenik> The Order hunts down and kills any
- <Corbenik> member found dealing with demons. This is
- <Corbenik> the only clause enforced absolutely. Trying to
- <Corbenik> destroy demons is normally acceptable, but
- <Corbenik> even then drawing a demon’s attention to the
- <Corbenik> Order is frowned upon.
- <Baruch> I'll draft a plan as to what we should do next and post it on the forum
- <Corbenik> Simply said destroying a demon can even get you in trouble should you draw the attention of others
- <Momo> this is still autumn right
- <Momo> ?
- <Gustbran> (winter)
- <Momo> late autumn
- <Gustbran> (ehh?)
- <Momo> few days before winter
- <Momo> is where we begin
- <Corbenik> .. damn I really need to figure out how far back she is, what year is it nyaa?
- <Momo> 1216 I guess
- <Corbenik> yeah year 1216 and autumn as the apollo worshipers was last season
- <Gustbran> Ah, I've got to go but, I'll leave the magic dice for you.
- <Gustbran> let me know how that goes.
- <Corbenik> m'kay
- <Gustbran> later
- <Baruch> Bye!
- <CJR> OK who left here?
- <Corbenik> me
- <Momo> going to, bye
- -------------------------------
- [INFO] Now logging to
- <Ramon> Hi Nyaa
- <Silas> Hiya Nyaa
- <Nyaa> hi
- <Ramon> so our King of cats is also here
- <Silas> =)
- <Nyaa> faerie ver.
- <Ramon> Silas yes arcane connection is +4
- <Silas> yes.. that is what I feared
- <Silas> meaning using a spont spell through an arcane connection is a horrible idea
- <Silas> any good spells for finding corpses? :p
- <Baruch> back
- <Ramon> lvl 3+4=lvl 15 for geting the direction
- <Silas> yep
- <Silas> meaning I (or someone else) would have to beat 30 in difficulty if sponting
- <Ramon> yes
- <Ramon> the question is if not the terram spell also work with a corpus requisit
- <Silas> unless we find a magical aura or I'm exeedingly lucky there is no way for Silas to do it..
- <Silas> hehe wouldn't make it easier, but it might be...
- <Ramon> it make it easyer if someone know the terram spell
- <Nyaa> how about finding the guy that bury him
- <Silas> that is true
- <Silas> hmm
- <Ramon> and I think baruch learned the spell
- <Baruch> Ramon: Baruch doesn't have it, he has a flaw that divides all totals with terram in half, meaning that he would have to have a ridiculous lab total to get it in one season
- <Silas> If Baruch knows it then great :)
- <Silas> ah well
- <Silas> *cough*
- <Ramon> ok then we have no one with us knowing the terram spell ( Dirk would know it and Ramon have a item but there we cant do the corpus requisit)
- <Silas> You mean sending someone to find the undertaker Nyaa?
- <Nyaa> I mean narrow it down through investigation
- <Nyaa> if we are going the detective route
- <Nyaa> there's always the "find a faerie that know corpse" route
- <Silas> Actually, with so many faeries around, it might be quite fortuitous that Momo came along
- <Baruch> Ramon: Can you add requisites to formulaic spells like that? I don't think that's possible
- <Nyaa> yes, but we all will be drag into a faerie story as a price
- <Silas> heh that is probably correct
- <Nyaa> poor calpurnia
- <Ramon> Not sure but the terram spell is so general writen that it might work there
- <Silas> I'm not sure "poor" is the word... *cough*
- <Baruch> Oh yeah, we must get silas and edith married in england before doing anything, because this has to be done when we summon the spirit in any case
- <Ramon> and we are taliking about cating prequisite and not spell prequisit as this 2 are different things to my understanding
- <Baruch> so that's the first thing regardless of anything
- <Nyaa> and it have to be christian wedding?
- <Silas> Hiya CJ
- <Ramon> Hi Cj
- <Nyaa> hi
- <CJR> Apolgies for being late, PC took ages to start up
- <Silas> Not only that it has to be a Chruch of England wedding
- <CJR> Also humdity hereis tupid,and girlfriend only left 30 minutes ago
- <CJR> Well a Church in England :)
- <CJR> humidity here is stupid should say
- <Silas> ah right
- <Ramon> do we know if her dad have a chrisitian burial?
- <Silas> the Chruch of England dind't get created before a few hundred years after
- <Baruch> Are we all here? Nagas didn't mention he couldn't make it, but he's not here, but it might be he's sleeping again. Gustbran is afk as well, but probably will turn up
- <Silas> I don't see how we would :p
- <CJR> No, noone has been back to Libellas since the night he died
- * Baruch slaps Gustbran around a bit with a large trout
- <CJR> close but not to the covenant
- <Silas> No, didn't Naga mention that he'd be away for almost a month?
- <Baruch> Oh, I missed that
- <Nyaa> pagan temple count as church?
- <Ramon> I didn't se Gust writing when I was online for nearly 2h now
- <Ramon> so he might sleeping
- <Baruch> Damn, might be he's sammiching again. We better start, and he can join in if he gets back
- <CJR> Nope, because you are using Church Law to create a legal son. So marriage must be in Church!
- <Silas> Iiiii.... am not sure if Edith would fancy a pagan wedding though... with our future brother-in-law being a catholic
- <CJR> OK so when we left off you had alll returned tot hre city?
- <Nyaa> not decided yet
- <Silas> didn't we just flee? :p
- <Baruch> We hadn't yet - we were flying in that direction for a few minutes I think, but hadn't gone far
- <Baruch> I think?
- <Ramon> No we just fly toward the city of Ivory and Jade and discused what to do thats where we end
- <Nyaa> either marry first or find the dead body now
- <CJR> Yes, you were over the North Sea, about an hour from the city.
- <CJR> OK, time in...
- =-= YOU are now known as Momo
- *NickServ* This nickname is registered and protected. If it is your
- *NickServ* nick, type /msg NickServ IDENTIFY ¬password¬ . Otherwise,
- *NickServ* please choose a different nick.
- <Baruch> We decided we should get Silas and Edith married before going back, right?
- <Baruch> Ok
- <Silas> (I think so)
- <Momo> we can find a church on our way to find the body probably
- <Ramon> "YOu realy want a unorganiced weeding if you dont even know if you can summon the ghost of her dad?"
- <Baruch> (Yes, while flying, we keep an eye on a church where the wedding might be arranged - we have to do that before summoning the ghost)
- <CJR> Right, who has Church Lore ability?
- <Silas> "... the wedding would have to happen to speak to the ghost regardless, surely.."
- <Silas> (not I, I'm afraid)
- <Baruch> "We can organize a proper ceremony later."
- <Baruch> (No lore, alas)
- <Momo> (better find ask the priest)
- <Ramon> (only Civil and Canon Law with Ramon but not Church Lore)
- <CJR> OK, well let's have a think - you are turning due south back towards Libellas?
- <Silas> (some year I promise I'll sit down and read up on some proper lore :p )
- <CJR> OK< Civil and Canon Lore only half applies - but the Canon Lore bit will work well
- <CJR> Make an Int + C&C Lore role please Ramon
- <Ramon> (Its law not lore)
- <Ramon> (So still should roll?)
- <Silas> (can't hurt :) )
- <Ramon> !roll 1d10+2 (Civil and Canon Lore)
- <Magic_Dice> Ramon, (Civil and Canon Lore): 5 :3+2
- <Ramon> (grr law ^^)
- <Baruch> (We're anachronistically unaware of the church)
- <CJR> It's more than 3, so you know that the priest has to read banns, to annouce thw edding, for weeks before the actual service. & weeks is normal.
- <Silas> (we are lawless and loreless :p )
- <CJR> There are ways round it, but you don't know them!
- <CJR> :D
- <Baruch> (Do you tell us about that, ramon?)
- <Momo> (What season would the covenant hover above endland?)
- <Ramon> "Wait a second! Dont need Priest prepare a weeding ceremony for weeks? At last from what I know from Aragon it needed some ceremonies bevore the actual weeding"
- <Momo> (England)
- <Silas> "I still think we should find a priest, get married and think on how to find the grave..."
- <Silas> "I am sure we can convince the priest that they are not needed, we were to be married anyway.."
- * Silas takes Edith's hand with a smile
- <Baruch> "The churchmen and their intricacies. We need to get this done as soon as possible."
- <CJR> OK, you are somwhere over the North Norfolk fens now
- <Silas> (How long did Antonius give us to complete this? a week yes?)
- <Momo> (yep)
- <Ramon> (yes
- <CJR> Yes.
- <Baruch> "Yes, we should try to negotiate with a priest, perhaps we can change this"
- <CJR> It is late afternoon now
- <Momo> "then start looking for a church!"
- <Baruch> "Even if it fails, it's still better to have the preparations underway as soon as possible."
- <Ramon> "We have to land during dusk anyway as sedala can't keep here size at this time"
- <Baruch> "Can you take us back for the night, Ramon, and look for a church - preferably on the smaller side."
- <CJR> RAmon, where you heading?
- <Baruch> "Don't land us too near to Libellus, please."
- <Ramon> (Right now still toward our city as we didn't decide otherwise9
- <Silas> [with a wry grin] "We best avoid the nunnery we visited last too..]
- <Silas> ""
- <CJR> Yes, Borley and Bures and Long Melford all best avoided!
- <Baruch> "Are we agreed on this?"
- * Silas nods
- <Silas> "We can't return the crown to Antonius yet.."
- <Ramon> "I'm not the best person to look for something in england as usualy only travle the mainland"
- <Silas> [Avoids meeting Corbenik's eyes]
- <Baruch> (Gui and Anna weren't wed yet either, right?)
- <Momo> (Borther Gui would know his church lore~)
- <Ramon> (Didn't Anna drop him or do I remember something wrong?)
- <Baruch> "Churches are tall old things, and we still have a few hours of light. I'm sure we can spot one."
- <Ramon> (I think we haved this in the bar fight)
- <Silas> (I think they are still to be married Schwartzbart :) )
- <CJR> They argued and she walked out on him a while back. They are still rowing but together
- <Baruch> "Can you take us back toward the land, Ramon, preferably away from everyone we have angered thus far?"
- <CJR> OK, you see churches!
- <Silas> (that is quite a tall order actually...:p )
- <CJR> To the east a large domed cathedral
- <Ramon> "Hmm ok"
- <Momo> "We are a bunch of outlaws"
- <CJR> To the south the huge Abbey Church at Bury St Edmunds
- <Ramon> "Is this Abbey ok with you?"
- <CJR> to the east further what appears to be a large Priory Church
- <CJR> And from where you are about 60 smaller churches would be visible
- <Baruch> "Nono, that would be the people we have angered, unfortunately"
- <Silas> "It might be easier to convice them with a smaller church.. but I suppose.."
- <CJR> (Suffolk is VERY flat, and there are over 600 churches in this period)
- <Ramon> "Then one of the smaler ones"
- <Momo> "Hope you enjoy sleeping in the barn"
- <Baruch> "Pick one of the smaller ones that are further away from the centers. We want small and dominion-light."
- <CJR> So really there are so many smaller ones, you can just tell me what kind fo church, howe big a settlement, in what terrain, and so forth, and I'll find one that you can see that fits
- <Silas> (convince the vicar of a smaller chuch* - rather)
- <CJR> There are some very isolated churcheds in the Breckland (sandy heath) and Fens (marshes)
- <Baruch> "We also want woods near there, so we can land without being seen."
- <CJR> Silas make a Per + Folk Ken roll please!
- <Ramon> "Wood isn't that good as sedala need space"
- <Silas> !roll 1d10+2 (magi special)
- <Magic_Dice> Silas, (magi special): 6 :4+2
- <Ramon> "dont forget she fly with her wings and not some kind of magicla way"
- <CJR> Edith is annoyed Silas, but not saying anything
- <Silas> "..."
- <Silas> (I can't imagine why...)
- <Baruch> "It's still better to be able to hide her among the trees, corret?"
- <Ramon> "Edith where would you like to be married from the churches we have in sight?"
- <Silas> "Anything wrong dear?" [quitely]
- <Momo> "She want the dome~" Momo whisper
- <Ramon> (:P)
- <CJR> OK, looking round you can make out what appears to be a small tower in woods near a large town, with a tiny chapel attached. That si just below you know, on the breckland
- <CJR> "Nothing" says Edith haughtily.
- <Silas> (haha I can't stop laughing :p )
- <Baruch> "How about that one?"
- <Silas> (*cough* right..)
- * Baruch points and the tower
- <CJR> There are sandly clkearings around it, and no houses for three miles, just a little hut, a stone tower and the chapel
- <CJR> No one appears to be around, and there are no fileds or gardens
- <CJR> fields even.
- <Momo> "...Looks abandoned."
- <Baruch> "This is perfect. Would this suit you, Silas and Edith?"
- <Silas> "Can we speak together when we land?" [Still to Edith, in a low voice]
- <Ramon> "You realy think there is a priest there? it looks abonded"
- <CJR> EDith is openly glaring at Momo
- <Silas> "It could work,.."
- <Baruch> "We don't know unless we check. Why would they have abandoned a place like that."
- <CJR> It does actually. Deserted at least. However about thirty yards away there is a bell (hanging from a tree!) on a rope, and a large wicker basket :)
- <Ramon> "I would prefer something more populated so we dont have to tell where we come from but its your decission"
- <Momo> "I doubt it~ The ghost might not approve of this low-key marriage too "
- <Baruch> "Bah, it simply has to be legally binding."
- <CJR> You landing?
- <Momo> "It will be harder to convince him later."
- <CJR> The spot does have a slightly eerie feel. Maybe it is just the sun slowly sinking over the horizon making everything flow blood red
- <Ramon> "I strongly have to disagree with you here as it is a bound for the live and so it have to be some special event even in a hurry!"
- * Silas looks a bit torn
- <CJR> Easy enough to keep flying if you prefer
- <CJR> or fly in to that big town, that Gustbran tells you is Thetford
- <Baruch> "You decide, Silas. As long as it gets done, nothing else matters."
- <Momo> "We should go for the dome~"
- <Silas> "We don't wish too many to pry into our affairs though... but... [looks to Edith] "
- * Ramon fly toward Thetford
- <Momo> "That curiously round building~ So round~"
- <CJR> The dome is very impressive. You flew past it earlier - Ely Cathedral
- <Momo> "So smooth~"
- * Momo want to climb the round thing.
- * Ramon look for a good place to land outside of they preying eyes even if we have to walk for 1h
- <CJR> Not really a dome, just look like it from twenty miles
- <CJR> http://www.elycathedral.org/images/homepages/main_history.jpg
- <Baruch> "Decide either way. I cannot follow you into the cathedral, but I am probably not needed."
- <CJR> (Momo will be disappointed!)
- <Momo> (What a good building to stab a dragon with)
- * Silas frowns
- <Ramon> (As mentioned I get down near Thetford in a place where we not easy to spot)
- <Silas> "Either way, we can find a room in this city (Thetford) and figure out how to proceed from there.."
- <CJR> There is a river that runs through town
- <CJR> You put down in the woods to the east of the town
- <CJR> There is a parish church in the centre of town, and a goirgeous large Priory Church
- <Silas> "I suspect we can convince the vicar in one of the smaller churches.."
- <CJR> As you land you quickly hide yourselves in the gorse bushes
- <Ramon> "Lets try here if you can convince one of the priest to do the ceremony in the next 2-3 days"
- * Silas nods to Ramon
- * Silas dismounts and attempts to help Edith down
- <CJR> http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/af/Cockleycley_Heath_-_geograph.org.uk_-_507409.jpg
- <CJR> Edith vaults down on the other side of Sedala
- <Silas> (yeah..)
- <Baruch> "I will wait by Sedala with Gustbran and the jewels - my presence in the town will be more a hindrance than anything else, and we cannot risk losing the crown."
- <CJR> Someone is singing a rude song about the "Lady and the Stableboy" and walking across the heath from town towards that tower and chapel
- <Silas> "You would not wish to take a room in an inn?" [to Baruch]
- <CJR> they pass you and walk on in to th darkening woods
- <CJR> Right sunset, Parma Magica anyone?
- <Baruch> "Discuss with the priests first, if you can gain an audience at this hour."
- * Baruch renews parma
- * Silas takes a minute to renew parma as well
- <Ramon> (Sedala get down to her normal horse size and the fog or cloud spell ends)
- <Baruch> "If they cannot be convinced, we should not stay here at all."
- <Silas> "ah, yes.."
- <Ramon> "I would need some sleep"
- <Momo> "Hope you bring lots of silvers"
- <Silas> "As you will, Edith?" [Holds a hand out to her]
- <Ramon> "Dont forget I just arived at the city bevore you let me call"
- <Baruch> "I have a fair amount" *brings out a pouch with 80, hands over to Silas*
- <Baruch> (What did Ramon just say? I didn't understand)
- * Silas takes the bag cautiously
- <CJR> The City has two obvious gates - one across the river, one on the road
- <Ramon> (That he is tired!)
- <Silas> "Thank you, I shall return it to you in full"
- <CJR> There are a number of barges, wherrys and boats of all sizes tied up on the riverbanks, and a few houses here outside the town.
- <Baruch> (Was sedala able to disguise as a horse again?)
- <Ramon> (He haved the trip to the city of Ivory and Jade and then was called to the meeting and now he is flying for nearly the complet day)
- * Silas waits for Edith before heading into town
- <CJR> The singing man has returned, walking back towards town
- <CJR> YOu can't see him because f the bushes
- <Ramon> (Yes in the old bversion it was a blanket and in the new she do it her self)
- <Baruch> (Ok)
- <CJR> Suddenly he stops singing.
- <CJR> Per + Awareness please

- <CJR> Odd in October!
- <CJR> whistling hot histling...
- <CJR> not not hot
- <Silas> (histling?)
- <CJR> Whistling

- <Baruch> (you hear a weird whistling)
- <Silas> (ah)
- <Silas> (google failed me :p )
- <CJR> Right, everyone ot town?
- <Silas> "Let us go then"
- <CJR> The singing stranger has run off that way fast
- * Silas moves to walk next to Edith
- <Baruch> (Does Sedala mention anything to Ramon?)
- <Ramon> (Yes with sedala disgusied as horse)
- <CJR> By the time you get to the gate sof Thetford a sharp cold wind blows stinging sand in to your faces, hurting your eyes, blurring vision and clogging your noses
- <Ramon> In occatin "There is some strange windwistling and it sound like sand wind is comming"
- <CJR> Any Magi with a Terrma art is on: anyone else doing anything?
- <Baruch> "Yes, let us, then. I worry about the cathedral."
- <CJR> Terram art is OK: the soak of 1 will protect
- <CJR> The gate is not far now
- <Silas> Tries to hurry to town
- <CJR> Silas, Edith ties her scarf across her face, as does Gustbran.
- <Ramon> (CJ Updated sedala or still old one?)
- <CJR> They are clerly used to this
- <CJR> Updated
- * Silas takes his sleeve up to his face
- <Momo> (momo have 10 might so he's fine~)
- <Ramon> Sedala uses Quit the Raging Winds PeAu (4 might points)
- <CJR> You arrive at the gate. There are a number of cottages to either side, and one large house, but the gate is closed against you for the night
- <CJR> OK Sedala does that and the sand stops blowing
- * Baruch stays far back
- <CJR> The gate is closed.
- * Silas knocks on the gate door (if any)
- <CJR> The wall is only about 12' high though, and does not look very formidable as made of flintstones and heavily overgrown with ivy
- <CJR> Yes, the knock echoes through the evening
- <CJR> #The door opens, and a young sandy haired man with thinkn features looks out
- <Ramon> "Gustbran or Edith can you do the talk?"
- <CJR> "Good evening. Why are you knocking? Arrived late?"
- <CJR> Edith snaps at him "obviously!"
- * Silas moves to let Gust or Edith do the talking
- <CJR> He looks taken aback, and tries French.
- <Silas> (lol, poor man, he's getting all her pent up anger...)
- <CJR> Finally Edith says "Well let us in then" and just barges past him.
- * Silas looks to the others and shrugs, before moving past him as well
- <CJR> He watches her go, and then steps aside. Gutsbran hands him a silver penny a head, as is the normal gate tax
- <Momo> (Silas and his next 50 years of shrugs)
- * Ramon follow them
- <Silas> (I can't imagine Silas living 50 years :p )
- <Momo> (Assuming you get logertivity)
- <Silas> (if his naive streak doesn't kill them then Edith is sure to)
- <Ramon> (No he will live a vew hiundert years unless someone kill him ^^)
- * Baruch follows
- <CJR> As you emerge from the gate you ar eon the south side of the river. The twon centre is ahead. A wooden bridge crosses over the othe magnificent Priory gate
- <CJR> The Priory Churhc si impressive
- <Silas> (haha yeah, but even with the rituals ^^)
- <Ramon> "Lets look for a Inn"
- <Baruch> "Agreed"
- <Silas> "Yes... and without haunting and rogue mages this time..."
- <CJR> Straight ahead, by the impressive stone bridge that crosses the river thet, you can see tow inns - the anchor & the Bell
- <CJR> The bell is teh alrger
- <CJR> The Bell is the larger
- <CJR> you pass tHetford Priory, and come to the inns
- <Silas> (which looks more cozy? :p )
- <CJR> The Anchor is teh smaller, and right by the river
- <Ramon> (What looks like the bether one?)
- <CJR> The Bell overlook sthe Parish church

- <CJR> There ar elaods of horses in town

- <Baruch> (He already mentioned there were 8 rooms, I think)
- <CJR> Ramon is able ytop get rooms for you all

- <CJR> Yiur Gift is a real curse around animals
- <Baruch> (So he's still on it)
- <CJR> Yep.
- <CJR> Ramon the innkeep says he will shwo you all to the rooms
- <Baruch> (ARe there people around who could see me casting?)
- <CJR> Anyway, rooms are arranged, and everyone can gather in the alrgest room with a fireplace cheerily burning and a window ovberlooking the church
- <CJR> Yes, lot sof people Baruch!
- <Ramon> "I will visit the rooms and then show them to my companions"

- <Silas> (you just need an heir at some point)
- <CJR> It is normal practice for people to mary in their Parish
- <CJR> Furthermore she is upset because Libellas hold her dowry.
- <CJR> And she can't marry without a dowry.
- <CJR> The things left to her by her mother

- <CJR> thre emiles from Long Melford to Libellas
- <Momo> (And so it shall)
- <Momo> (A room for the king)
- <CJR> Momo takes the largest room with the fireplace.
- <CJR> OK, so let's skip ahead and discuss what happens.
- <Silas> (to be fair, if we had a snug corner in one of the rooms Momo might end up sleeping there anyway :p )
- <CJR> So whats the plan?
- <Momo> (Nope, the corner of his own room :p)
- <Baruch> Is the dowry literally needed as in you can't get married without it, or is it needed because Edith would prefer it?
- <Ramon> (Yes as mentioned I accential counted momo as a human and so asked for 7 bed ^^)
- <CJR> Much as I am happy to describe medieval Norfolk building by building! :P
- <Momo> (Let's find d a priest and discuss with it first)

- <Momo> "There's a priest out there, we can ask him some question"
- <CJR> Edith brightens up. She says she will happily marry anywhere, but she will need a dowry
- <Momo> "Alright, someone go get that dowry while we set up the wedding here."
- <Ramon> "Let me suspect this someone is at last Edith and me?"
- <Momo> "And sedala"

- <CJR> My mother left me the best linen, her silver ring, and three wooden chairs, a spoon, a spinning wheel, a loom and a table" says Edith " oh and six apostle spoons, and a piece of magic stone"
- <Silas> (good lord woman..)
- <Baruch> "I see. And where are all these things, precisely?"
- <CJR> "They were in our cottage, just inside the gate of Libellas, next to Lucidia's sanctum"

- <Momo> "I heard Lucidia is the... Flambleu mage??"
- <CJR> Yes, the fiery one who likes ot burn people" says Edith cheerfully
- * Silas looks a bit nervous
- <Momo> "Better bring someone that wasn't wanted"
- <Silas> "Do you suppose she would keep your return a secret?" [with a slight conspiratorial hint in his voice]
- <Ramon> "Thats not good we might need a other Redcap to get this delivery made"
- <Baruch> "How do you think they would react if you simply went there to get the dowry?"
- <CJR> Eith looks suprprised at Silas - "I was not foing to tell her. She lives in the next cottage!"
- <Momo> "It would take week for a redcap to deliver it"
- <CJR> Edith looks - sad - "of cours ei tmight have burned down when the dragon destroyed much of the covenant!"

- <Baruch> "It does seem probably they might have burnt, yes. Perhaps we should move on?"
- <CJR> There is alot of noise outside. French soldiers marching down the street
- <Silas> "He might try worse to cover up his crimes.."

- <CJR> Ramon: it is normal for some charitable person to find goods slightly higher in value to help, or she can not wed
- <Ramon> (ups right 5 min break ^^)
- <Momo> "We should grab more man power then."
- <Silas> "We might have a good chance to speak with his ghost - and perhaps in so doing convince the people of Libellas to cast down Stephan"

- <CJR> Edith shrugs. If needs be Ramon, I would accept that yes!
- <CJR> OK, so Edith smiles and looks happier.
- <CJR> She wants to get married -if someone will replace her dowry, she can, so she will accept it
- <CJR> Baruch is just a bit morose and difficult as far as he si concerned
- * Silas sends a smile to Ramon when Edith isn't looking
- <Momo> (With eye blink and thumbs up)
- <CJR> :)
- <CJR> What now?
- <Ramon> "What can you tell me about this magical stone you mentioned?"
- <Silas> [butts in] "We should perhaps find a vicar first, while they are still awake?"
- <CJR> "My mother received it as a wedding present from my father. It is a stone, and magic. That was all I knew of it"
- <Silas> (Welcome back)
- <Silas> (Baruch, ready for a PM spam with the last bit you missed?)
- <Momo> (Bah I knew I should had grab that stone from stonehedge)
- <CJR> The french soldiers till march through town.
- <CJR> They appear to be leaving for some reason, in the middle of the night
- * Ramon wisper to baruch the stone is the harest think to replace and I don't have something like this
- * Silas asks Gustbran if he could speak with the tavernkeep to find out about the French
- <Baruck> (Sorry, someone walked away with the internet in the form of a telephone)
- <CJR> lol!
- <Baruck> (could someone msg me what happened in between
- <Silas> (haha the nerve of some poeple!)
- <CJR> Gustbran goes to make enquiries
- <Silas> sure one sec Baruch
- <Ramon> (just send it to him)
- <Silas> (oh god I am spamming myself)
- <Ramon> (Is this city big enough to get the things here she lost?)
- <Ramon> (except for the magic stone)
- <CJR> RAmon, yes definitely
- <Momo> (grab a stone, wrap it in magic, done)
- <Silas> (heh sent it first time to Baruch, which just gave me 300 error messages :p )
- <CJR> Thetford is a sizable town
- <Ramon> (Hm scratch that she get it back at the flying city as the transport up would be to problematic except for the clothing and the ring)
- * Silas bows down with a flourish to Edith "Shall we go and wake a vicar?" He sports a devilish grin
- <Ramon> (So we have to get her cloths and the ring here and the rest at the city is probably the best)
- <CJR> Gustbran returns, and says the French received orders to withdraw, and the plan to take as many horses as possible from he market here famous for horses has been abandoned, but no one knows why. They are said to be marching to Cambridge overnight
- <CJR> Edith laughs and agrees
- <Momo> "There's a vicar down at the grave"
- <CJR> ***** outsie by the church888
- <CJR> OK who is dowen her ot talk to the priest?
- <CJR> down here...
- <Baruck> (Baruch stays behind, but tries to keep an eye on the others through the window)
- =-= Baruck is now known as Baruch
- * Ramon stay at the inn to eat something and then get the most needed rest after feed sedala
- <CJR> OK< Edith and Silas approach the vicar who looks up in surprise at seeing them
- <Silas> (the feeding part seems like a good idea, if the french are stealing horses...)
- <CJR> Silas, are you Gentle Gifted?
- <Silas> (yep)
- <CJR> (I should know by now!)
- <CJR> Cool.
- <Silas> (naa you suspected it, its enough ^^)
- <CJR> He smiles, and looks you both up and down "How can I assist you?" in English
- <Baruch> "Ramon, you should make sure the French don't take Sedala from the stable."
- <CJR> Edith says "We wish to marry, Father!"
- <Silas> (hehe)
- <Silas> "We do indeed wish to marry" [in latin]
- <CJR> "is this so?" to Silas, in English
- <CJR> "ah,and educated man! Come in, come in, says the priest!"
- <Ramon> "They wont get fare with her as she only go with people she know but I still bether look in chase she think they attack her"
- <Silas> [lets Edith go first and follows]
- <CJR> He takes you to the Vicarage, poiur you both wine and has his housekeeper prepare a simple meal
- <CJR> "so, tell me how you met, when you wish to wed, and who your familes are!"
- <Silas> "Many thanks for your hospitality father"
- <CJR> OK Silas, Edith looks ot you
- <Silas> "We met, oh, almost a year ago now. You can almost say that it was fate that brought us together"
- <Baruch> (Does Ramon go to the stables or do anything like that about the Sedala thing?)
- <Ramon> (Yes he will look)
- <CJR> Ramon, when you get to th stables and there are several other concerned locals standing around looking after thir horses, but the French are just amrching straight past right now
- <Ramon> (Its not good if she eliminat a group of soldiers ;) )
- <CJR> "really?" The priest looks interested. Wel tell me your kin and names
- <Silas> "come from the south, germany, and buisness had brought me to England, here I found this radiant flower and we grew fond of eachother"
- <CJR> "does the ladies father consent tot he wedding? or a brother or male guardian?"
- <CJR> Edith explains her name and relatives
- <Silas> [presents his old name, not mentioning the mage house]
- <Ramon> (Gustbran is needed as "male guardian")
- <Silas> (that is likely yes, but we can fetch him as needed :p )
- <CJR> The priest looks relieved. "Then you are not within the bounds forbidden by consanguinity and may wed - a relief - " he says
- <CJR> Edith looks annoyed at the idea of "male guardian", but quickly covers it up with a smile
- <CJR> "and you are both free to marry, and have married no other?"
- <CJR> "You have no wife in Germany Silas?"
- <Silas> "I do not father"
- <Momo> (They are call mistress ~)
- <CJR> Edith shoots a very sharp glance at Silas, and looks relieved when he replies!
- <Silas> (well, that wasn't what he asked Momo...)
- <Silas> ( *cough* )
- <CJR> "And you wish me to say bans from now, so you may marry in early December?"
- <Momo> (what month is now?)
- <Silas> "ah.. about that, father, could we perhaps hasten the marriage?"
- <CJR> The prioest looks puzzled. "Why?" he asks with a very direct look at Edith's stomach.
- <CJR> "I can see no sign of child?"
- <Silas> "We have long been intended to marry you see.."
- <Silas> "No of cause, we are not married!"
- <Silas> "But, you see"
- <Momo> (Because you two can't stay long)
- <CJR> "i am aware you ar enot married Silas" says the priest, seemingly puzzled
- <CJR> "she is not your cousin, or pregnant, and no other wife is likely to turn up... so why the hurry?"
- <Momo> (You two live in a flying city and need to do it fast)
- <CJR> Baruch, you still watching the street?
- <Silas> "We have been engaged for a time now, but due to this... war... our scheduled marriage was impossible" [crosses fingers]
- <Baruch> (Yes, I'm waiting for Edith and Silas and looking out, watching for trouble.)
- <Silas> (scaring horses, the usual ^^)
- <CJR> OK, a large black raven has just landed on the church roof.
- <Momo> (scare it off, baruch)
- <Baruch> Does it look familiar from before? Like Meles or whatwashisname of Libellus?
- <Silas> (ah right, I had almost forgotten him)
- <Ramon> (Corvus or how he was called was a other one)
- <Momo> (That guy is our ally I think)
- <CJR> It looks a bit like Corvus of Voluntas yes
- <Silas> (he hit it off with Class at least :) )
- <Silas> (if I recall)
- <CJR> The Father looks at Silas: well if you have waited so long, what is a few more weeks while i read the banns?
- <CJR> You are not residents of this parish, or i coudl theoretically marry you sooner
- * Silas frowns and looks to Edith
- <CJR> The only problem is I would need a special license from the Bishop of Norwich to marry you sooner
- <CJR> And that will take money, and some time...
- <Silas> "ah, might I speak with you in private, father?"
- <Silas> "I shan't take long" [to Edith]
- <CJR> Yes, yes of course says the priest
- <CJR> Edith looks worried
- <Silas> (I am going to spend some points in intrigue after this..)
- <CJR> OK Silas what is the plan
- <Silas> "You see father, my own esteemed father has not long for this world."
- <Silas> "The will for his estates has been made clear to me, he wishes me to marry before he dies or I shall inherit nothing"
- <CJR> "I see, I see"
- <Silas> "- he is not long for this world I fear, but I did not wish for my beloved to think I am marrying her for the money.."
- <CJR> !roll 1d10+3 Per+Guile for Vicar
- <Magic_Dice> CJR, Per+Guile for Vicar: 4 :1+3
- <Silas> "I can compensate you of cause, for your trouble..."
- <CJR> Make a CXom + Guile or Intrigue roll please
- <Ramon> (wasn't that a 1?)
- <CJR> oh yes!
- <Momo> (Not a stress)
- <Silas> !roll 1d10
- <Magic_Dice> Silas: 10
- <CJR> !roll 1d10
- <Magic_Dice> CJR: 9
- <CJR> Yes it was a stre
- <Silas> !roll 1d10
- <Magic_Dice> Silas: 4
- <Silas> (well shite)
- <CJR> OK, the vicar grows angry!
- <Baruch> I'll spont a fog at base 2, concentration duration, touch range, +1 size, so level 5. I'll have it spread out from Baruch fairly slowly, and try to make it seem natural-ish,
- <CJR> STOP LYING TO ME YOUNG MAN!
- <CJR> So the fog fills the street?
- <CJR> The vicar throws you out Silas
- <Silas> (think fast think fast...)
- <Silas> (darn)
- <CJR> He stops to tell Edith something
- <Momo> (Next priest)
- <Baruch> Yes, that's about a square kilometer of fog in the end, CJ
- <CJR> You can try something as you are being thrown out if you want!
- <Silas> (at least we have other priests :p )
- <CJR> wowe, the whole of thetford will get caught up in mists
- <CJR> but it is foggy day so cool :)
- <Momo> (Just don't mess up on the bishop)
- <Silas> (naa, I don't think enspelling a vicar is a good idea.. sadly)
- <Baruch> !roll 1d10+44
- <Magic_Dice> Baruch: 49 :5+44
- <Silas> (I'd love to though!)
- <Momo> (welcome to fog land)
- * Silas can't see a hand in front of his face
- <CJR> The fog filsl the streets, and the raven caws and flies off startled.
- <CJR> So SIlas, you cna try if you want but at -12 for Dominion aura
- <Baruch> (Do you do anything abou the vicar, silas?)
- <Momo> (damn strong aura)
- <Silas> (nope, it is a poor idea, even Silas would realize it)
- <Momo> (That's why the vicas can see through you lie~)
- <Ramon> (oO sedala dont like this place)
- <Silas> (I can't think of a good way to salvage this either way..)
- <Momo> (I begins to think this will take 5 session to finsh)
- <Silas> (the enxt vicar I'll try bribeing...)
- <Silas> (faster and less morally perverse..)
- <CJR> OK, Edith and Silas find their way back to the hotel, meeting Ramon at the stable on the way
- <CJR> Everyone gather sback in the room.
- <Silas> [to Edith, with a bit of an annoyed frown] "what did he tell you?"
- <Baruch> I'll stop concentrating on the fog spell, so the fog begins to thin after a while
- <Momo> "Well, at least it's good that we have like hundreds of churches around here."
- * Silas explains that the vicar didn't buy my story and won't wed us
- * Ramon also get back to the room as the soldiers have left by now
- <CJR> EDith says "that you are a liar and blaggard and no good and I should leave you at once!" She laughs
- <CJR> "you had best not be!"
- * Silas laughs
- <Baruch> "Let us sleep the night and try at another, smaller church, shall we? Less of a dominion aura means easier magic, remember."
- <CJR> OK, everyone cool with that plan?
- <Ramon> "Now thats defenitve not true to my knowledge but I ned rest"
- <Momo> "If the other church is closeby, we should walk there now"
- <Ramon> "Good Night"
- <Silas> "I am too bad a liar to be doing this on a regular basis" [grins to Edith]
- <Silas> (agrees to bed)
- * Baruch heads off to bed
- <Momo> "Oh well."
- <CJR> EDith can tell you that once you cross the border to Suffolk the Abbott of Bury St Edmunds abbey would be the equivalent of the Bishop here.
- <CJR> OKey doke, thre eminute break
- * Momo spend some time chatting with the ghostly maid until nap time
- <Baruch> (I'll have to go in about 30min)
- <Ramon> (I also have to drop out in ~34 min)
- <Silas> (Does she have any good ideas of how to coax the next vicar or bishop? - edith that is)
- <Baruch> (who's the abbot of bury again? Isn't that one of the people we angered?)
- <Silas> (is it..?)
- <Silas> (... my memory is too poor apparently..)
- <Momo> ( I thought we only anger some nun)
- <Momo> (assuming they see us)
- <Baruch> (Right, it was a nun. Who was this abbot again?)
- <Silas> (I'm fairly sure it wasn't Bury though)
- <Baruch> (Bury is where the crown was buried, right?)
- <Baruch> (I guess there would be a kind of synergy to going there.)
- <Silas> (yeah I think that is why it sounds familair)
- <Ramon> (baruch and I have to drop out in ~30 MIN)
- =-= CJR_ is now known as CJR
- <CJR> Same here
- <CJR> I have thirty minutes no more
- <CJR> OK, morning.
- <Baruch> In the morning, I'll ask Edith if she is familiar with the abbot - would he agree to a hastened wedding?
- <CJR> What is the plan?
- <CJR> She knows of Abbott Samson, a kind and just man.
- <CJR> Bury St Edmunds is sixteen miles dues south from here, the biggest city in the area
- <CJR> Fourteen miles further south is long Melford and libellas.
- <Silas> Does she have an idea of how to hasten the wedding, would bribing be... decent?
- <Silas> Acceptable, is perhaps better
- <CJR> Samason is very concerned with money as he is doing extensive rebuilding of the shrine of St Edmund at the moment
- <CJR> A gift would be welcomed she thinks
- * Silas smiles widely
- <Momo> "Alright, let's go. We only have half a week left"
- * Silas suggests we try the abbey then
- <Baruch> "The abbot seems like a good next alternative. Let us go to Bury, shall we? Another town, unfortunately, but I am not certain that it can be helped"
- <CJR> How you getting there?
- <CJR> Sedala?
- <Ramon> "Should't we first look if we find some good replacement for the dowry here?
- <Baruch> "This is also where the crown used to be, is it not? Do you know the exact place, Edith?"
- <Silas> "We can do that at the covenant, I think.."
- <Baruch> "No, we will purchase the things at Bury, it is a town as well, is it not?"
- <Baruch> "Or at the covenant, that would be best, of course."
- <Ramon> "Yes but should't she have good cloths for the weeding?"
- <Ramon> "Also isn't a ring needed?"
- <Baruch> "We can arrange all that in Bury. Shall we?"
- <Momo> "Look at you all shopping like a bunch of refined ladies."
- <Silas> "ah, of cause.. but... the heavier stuff would be easily gotten in the city of Ivory and Jade
- * Baruch heads off to Sedala
- <Ramon> "I agre with this bit the things you 2 whear at the ceremony is what is important to get early"
- <CJR> Bury is a lkarge town. St Edmund's body is there. The crown was not however, it was buried elsewhere.
- <CJR> OK, an hour later Sedala flaps gdown in ameadown just north of Bury.
- <CJR> It is by the River Lark
- <Ramon> "OK I just thought we look here if you 2 find something nice the have a good sit but we can get to the other city also
- <CJR> Exactly two years ago it was filled with the tents of the Barons encampment
- <CJR> YOu have been here before
- <Silas> (ah right)
- <CJR> A guardsman stands bored on the riverbank -= George, and Harold is fishing nearby
- <Silas> (I think I might have visited Bury too, now that I think about it, but I can't have been very old)
- <CJR> Town is ten minuts walk away through the tollgate
- <CJR> ***Time in***
- * Silas moves towards the abbey with Gust and Edith
- <Ramon> (Sedala looks like a normal white horse once again)
- * Baruch walks far behind the others, again, klooking even more uncomfortable
- <CJR> http://www.cjromer.com/rpg/ars/abbey.jpg
- <CJR> http://www.cjromer.com/rpg/ars/Bury1210.jpg
- <Ramon> (Wow your very prepared didn't think you have all the pictures of catedrals ^^)
- * Ramon sit on Sedala
- <Ramon> ... following the others
- <Silas> (pretty neat :) )
- <CJR> You arrive at the Northgate, where the schoolmaster who teaches his class here talkes a penny form each of you, and two for the "horse"
- <CJR> Heading to the market, or straight round to the Abbey?
- <Silas> (Abbey I think..)
- <Ramon> "Lets meet a bit later again, I want to have a look at the market"
- * Silas nods
- <Momo> (ten for the king of cat of couse)
- * Ramon look for a good weding present for this 2
- * Momo sadden a little at the free entry.
- <Baruch> "you go discuss with the abbot, I will wait outside"
- <Silas> "Alright, I will see you later"
- <Silas> [bows lightly]
- <CJR> (I used to have a virtual reality full model of Bury and the abbey in 1220 you could walk round but I can't find it and time is pressing..)
- <Silas> (pretty neat either way :) )
- * Baruch tries to find an inconspicuous place to wait outside the abbey
- <Ramon> (Baruch good that Sedala dont mind the gift if I understand your problems with animals right ^^)
- <Baruch> "Can you wait with me, Gustbran? I am uncomfortable here."
- <CJR> Baruch, this is the entry. There is a cloth market on Angel Hill, but slip gown raingate street and then walk back across the Great Churchyard which is overgrown
- <CJR> http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/ac/Abbeygate_Bury_St_Edmunds.jpg
- <CJR> Baruch waits here: http://s0.geograph.org.uk/photos/19/26/192606_6b05281c.jpg
- <CJR> Ramon, you looking ot replace the dowry?
- <CJR> Silas, you find many monks and clerks scurrying around. Onme stops you and Edith and asks what you want?
- <Silas> "We would wish to speak to the abbot or a vicar if they would wed us"
- <Ramon> (Yes at last some of the light wight things)
- <CJR> The clerk says "Prior's office, third door on West Front off Great Churchyard" and scurries on
- <Ramon> (like a tradetional scarf and such things)
- <Silas> (I am clueless on most religious matters so this fits well with Silas :p )
- <CJR> OK Ramon Com + Bargain roll please
- * Silas moves to follow the directions
- <Ramon> (ohh and I get a ball of woll for momo :P)
- <Momo> (AHHHHHHHH)
- <Silas> (aww :) )
- <Ramon> !roll 1d10+4
- <Magic_Dice> Ramon: 10 :6+4
- <Silas> (such a nice man)
- <CJR> Ramon, you end up laden with goods. Prices are steep, but you are great at haggling :)
- <CJR> Silas, you finding the Priors office?
- <Silas> Yep
- <Silas> (hopefully :p )
- <CJR> OK, once you arrive you see Baruch loitering under a tree, and a long quue of maybe fifty people waiting to see the Prior
- <CJR> An old monk is pruning roses nearby
- <CJR> Rather plump. He hands a rose to Edith
- <CJR> What now?
- * Silas smiles and gives a small bow
- <Silas> [to the monk that is]
- <Ramon> "Baruch do you mind having a eye on Sedala and the goods I load on her while I enter the curc for some private prayer"
- <CJR> "Bless you my son" says the monk. here to see Prior Hugh? His face darkens
- <Silas> "Yes, we are. Is it always this busy?"
- <Ramon> "Ohh and momo I have something here for you"
- <Baruch> "Go ahead, I will be bhere."
- <CJR> "while he extorts all he can, yes, it is always this busy. Sometimes busier."
- <Momo> "Oh what what?"
- <Gustbran> (FRIGGIN OVERSLEPT AGAIN...)
- <Ramon> (Ok now Silas part that get simmultan to my soping trip ^^)
- <CJR> Hullo!
- <Ramon> (Hi sorry we close soon for today)
- <Silas> "Or,.. that is, we are here to get wed, I am unsure if Prior Hugh is the man we should see..."

- <CJR> Want to spend Confidence?
- <Silas> (Hiya Freespace :) )
- <CJR> Silas
- <Silas> Yes
- <Silas> He gave Edith a flower after all
- <CJR> "Well you can marry in any church, if you have the banns read, or your parish shurch, if oyu both reside in the same parish?"
- <Baruch> (Gust is loitering with me, I wouldn't dare wait around in the city without protection.)
- <CJR> Okey doke, you are in the great churchyard
- <CJR> You can see Edith and Silas talking to an elderly plump monk
- <Silas> "Yes,... we hoped to be married sooner though.."
- <CJR> "I see, I see. May I ask why?"
- <CJR> http://www.stedmundsburychronicle.co.uk/vrabmain.htm
- <CJR> (3d model downloadable here)
- <CJR> SIlas???
- <Silas> (typing ^^)
- <Silas> "Yes... I am afraid that it is a matter of some urgency, if we do not wed soon a terrible fate will befall my home, a wise-man has forseen it"
- <Silas> (all without lying ^^ )
- <Momo> (Just don't say the wiseman is pagan)
- <Silas> (stretching the truth a bit perhaps, but still...)
- <Baruch> (I must go. Thanks for tonight, everyone!)
- <CJR> "ah yes, Saint Edmund told me to expect you. I will grant the licence. I shall marry you at noon in St Mary's Church: gather the witnesses"
- <Silas> (Thanks Wits take care)
- <CJR> My name is Samson by the way
- <Silas> "!"
- <CJR> abbot Samson reaches in ot his hood and produces two silver rings
- <Silas> "oh, thank you. Aboot Samson"
- <CJR> You have three hours to prepare young man
- <CJR> I will see you at noon!
- <Ramon> (Wooow)
- <CJR> He returns ot his roses, a little thoughtful.
- <Silas> "As you wish!"
- <CJR> And there we must stop for today.
- <Momo> (who can do sunday too?)
- <Ramon> (Grats this did go easy)
- <Silas> (indeed)
- <Ramon> (Sorry I can't)
- <Momo> (k)
- <CJR> Samson was expecting you.
- <CJR> Sorry it is taking so long ot resolve though
- <Silas> A little divine aid never killed anyone
- <Silas> ...
- <Silas> save maybe a few french
- <CJR> Next week ok for the wedding???
- <Ramon> (No problem I just hope we can continue next week)
- <CJR> I'm free Saturday
- <Silas> Next week is fine, either day
- <Ramon> (Should work for me)
- <Momo> (works for me)
- <Silas> Nyaa, did you keep a log for today? :)
- <Momo> yes
- <Ramon> (Gust and this time you dont oversleep :P)
- <Silas> Goodie, otherwise I had one as well
- <Momo> better figure out how to find the ghost too
- <Silas> haha no, or we might just sacrifice you :p
- <Momo> maybe saint edmond might tell us the location
- <Silas> I really have to run though, see you all later and thanks for the adventure :) its a lot of fun
- <CJR> OK cool, sorry Freespace you missed it.
- <CJR> Has someone got the log?
- <Ramon> yes thank you for the adventure
- <Momo> i do
- <Gustbran> I'll ha ve to sta up all nigt to ensure I don't oversleep....
- <CJR> Cool, can someone show Gustbran what happened?
- <Gustbran> ^*^%
- <CJR> Not much to be honest!
- <Gustbran> Ive got the log.
- <Ramon> he was present the complet time
- <Ramon> but not mentaly
- <CJR> Ah yes of course
- <Gustbran> my clients been active the whole time
- <CJR> Bit slow session, but at least plot advanced :D
- <Gustbran> 'just in case'
- <CJR> Sadly I must dash. Catch you all soon!
- <CJR> cj x
- <Momo> bye
- ------------------------------------
- <Baruch> The weather's pretty awesome here, too: just right temp, at around 20, and gets nice and cool in the evenings, perfect biergarten weather :)
- <Silas> Its 15ish degrees here, but constantly cloudy and with (supposedly) bouts of rain
- <Gustbran> my younger bro is getting married next month.
- <Silas> ah neat, hopefully it will get a bit cooler by then :)
- * Gustbran is feeling a little too old.
- <Silas> because he is getting married? :p
- <Silas> phah
- <Gustbran> I'm way too young and immature at 29 to get married, and I'm not the family screw up.
- <Silas> lol I'll not tempt fate and ask if your brother is the screw up then
- <Silas> there are too many people in the world either way, so good for you!
- <Gustbran> well, hes got a good heart but he's a sometimes stoner and drunk.
- <Gustbran> only 3 years younger than me and HE's getting married.
- <Gustbran> I just hope it's not one of those marriages that are built only on hormones..
- <Silas> well he better quit that, at least if he plans to produce kids
- <Gustbran> When I was in the navy a superior once told me about how so many marriages fail today because of 'puppy dog love'
- <Baruch> Is the conclusion of our forum discussion that we'll get Silas and Edith married and then fly back to the covenant and try to contact the ghost from there?
- <Silas> I think I started the topic too late to make any real progress...
- <Gustbran> I'm cool so long as i doin't die.
- <Silas> Which covenant are we talking about here? ours or Libellus?
- <Silas> haha that is a positive attitude Freespace :p
- <Silas> But Silas would prefer to do it like that
- <Silas> going to Libellus, that is
- <Ramon> Do we have someone who can summon the ghost via Arcane Connection?
- <Silas> Hoping Edith knows where they would bury them
- <Silas> Not through an arcane connection...
- <Baruch> Oh yeah, we haven't asked her yet.
- <Silas> maybe one of our Parens
- <Silas> but even there I'm not sure
- <Baruch> I don't think we know if someone has the ritual, or at least CJ hasn't answered me about that though I've asked multiple times
- <Silas> hehe I'm not sure how we (the few mages) would know, it is hardly something to bring up in a casual chat
- <Baruch> Yeah, you're probably right.
- <Ramon> oO CJ is very late today once again :(
- <Baruch> Yah :(
- <Silas> He can still be early (compared to your roll earlier Schwartz ^^)
- <Gustbran> or compared witgh me last week.
- <Ramon> I hope he didn't mean SUnday as when he write the post it was already saturday for him
- * Gustbran facepalms
- <Silas> ...
- <Silas> naa I don't think so
- <Baruch> I don't see how he could have meant that, seeing as how we have defaulted to saturday always
- <Silas> with emphasis on 'think'
- <Baruch> I think we should more often start in-character planning threads like Adrian did. Because typing is so slow, it's hard to play stuff like that out here.
- <Silas> yeah.. it was so we didn't have to 'waste' time mulling about planning in game time
- <Silas> So, since we are waiting either way; do we risk going to Libellus if Edith has an idea of where to go?
- <Nyaa> we are totally clueless
- <Silas> Also, are covenant wizards alerted if people enter their covenant?
- <Silas> Or is that only if it is other mages?
- <Nyaa> pretty sure the aegies do that
- <Ramon> It depend on the defences they set up
- <Silas> hmm,.. I was thinking we might be able to slip a grog or maybe Momo in to snoop around
- <Ramon> Momo might mor problematic then Gust
- <Silas> but if they are alerted one way or another when people enter their area...
- <Nyaa> hmm, yeah, they are faerie heavy, so Momo might even be welcome in
- <Silas> Momo is smaller though...
- <Ramon> as Momo have a might score and so probably can't even enter
- <Gustbran> Stealth 1 (skulking around listening)
- <Silas> ah right...
- <Silas> Aegis and might issues
- <Nyaa> there's talking mandane animal in there, I think Momo will be fine
- <Silas> well... maybe, if Momo can enter, then it should be good, but yeah
- <Baruch> They will probably have pretty heavy defenses as it seems it's fairly controversial that they are there in the first place
- <Ramon> Aegis is just the basic covenant defence you can expect in nearly all covenants
- <CJR> Agggh.
- <Gustbran> YAY
- <Silas> Hiya CJ
- <CJR> Sorry.
- <Ramon> Hi CJ
- <Gustbran> HIYA
- <Baruch> hi
- <CJR> Becky is in bed with a fever and i had to go to the pharmachy get her prescription
- <Gustbran> I"M HERE THIS TIME< SEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- <CJR> Expected to be back earlier, had to wait ages
- <CJR> Here now
- <CJR> Hey Gutsbran good to see you!
- <Silas> no worries, we were plotting :p
- <CJR> We missing anyone?
- <CJR> :)
- <Silas> I don't think so
- <Ramon> The core team is present
- <CJR> she is in bed feeling very sorry for herself poor thing
- <CJR> excellent
- <Silas> :(
- <CJR> How is the plotting going?
- <Ramon> Not good ;)
- <Silas> Heh, it's flaky
- <Silas> but better than nothing, I think
- <Baruch> I guess we'll just get the wedding out of the way and decide whether we go back to the covenant or try for libellus after that
- <Silas> heh.. yeah
- <Ramon> The problem is we dont know where his grave is
- <Baruch> Yeah, but let's not get bogged down in that anymore - we'll just do it either way once we get there, amiright?
- <Silas> Edith might know where he is likely to be buried though..
- <Silas> yep
- <Baruch> Oh yeah: let's ask Edith if she knows their graveyard
- <CJR> Edith looks puzzled.
- <CJR> The gravewyard is around Long Melford Church
- =-= YOU are now known as Momo
- *NickServ* This nickname is registered and protected. If it is your
- *NickServ* nick, type /msg NickServ IDENTIFY ¬password¬ . Otherwise,
- *NickServ* please choose a different nick.
- <Silas> We still need to find a goldsmith/silversmith/jeweler of a kind for wedding bands
- <CJR> No one had died in the two years Libellas stood, so she has no idea if they would have their own
- <CJR> They had a chapel though
- <Momo> Time to get everyone a shovel
- <CJR> :)
- <Silas> (lol)
- <Baruch> Ok, let's get the wedding stuff on, shall we? :)
- <Silas> (*mutters* Aiden might even know... *sigh*)
- <Ramon> (Hopefull he didn't get a cristian burial as then our complet plan turn to dust)
- <Silas> (Even so, he might have been forced to remain behind..)
- <CJR> OK, when you are ready to start just say, but plotting useful
- <Silas> (there is a bit of tradition in the family after all)
- <Ramon> (ready)
- <Silas> (ready I think, it is mostly theoretical either way)
- <Momo> (ready for dragon)
- <Silas> (dum dum dummm!!)
- <CJR> OK, the winter sunshine dapples the great Churhyard in patches of light. Abbot Samson continues to prune his winter roses, ad you have an hour to prepare for the wedding.
- <CJR> JI Aiden!
- <CJR> Hi even!
- <Baruch> (Aiden's not with us, though.)
- <Gustbran> (aiden is me, shh)
- <Silas> (its freespace :) )
- <Silas> (we might have to pay him a visit tho..)
- <Gustbran> *its a secret to everyone
- <Baruch> "If there is any way I can help, Silas and Edith, just say so. I am not terribly well acquainted with situations like these."
- <Gustbran> (hence I brought him out in advance)
- <CJR> (laughs at Baruch, wedding organiser extraordinaire!)
- * Ramon is still in the city shoping
- * Silas explains what the abbot said last time to Gust and Baruch, that we need to get witnesses and likely some wedding bands
- <CJR> Edith looks excited. "Baruch, can you magic me a lovely dress?"
- * Silas grins
- <CJR> (You have wedding rings, Abbott Samson had some ready and gave you them)
- <Baruch> "Oh, ahem, let me think."
- <Silas> (ah, I must have forgotten)
- <CJR> "a bit flouncy, with a hood, and a nice long train, and little flowers omn the hem. Please Baruch?" :)
- <Silas> "Gustbran, I think you should be one of the witnesses, if you would like. You are family after all"
- <Ramon> (Iks that sound like Creo Herbam with Finesse roll)
- <Gustbran> "certainly
- <Baruch> (It's base 1, right, for a single sense? So for +1 Sun, +1 Touch, Individual it's just 3)
- <Gustbran> "
- <CJR> THis place is incredibly busy. A peasant woman walks buy followed by twelve ducks in a long line. Two carpenters walk past with a plank. A man pushes a wheelbarrow of cabbages past, the squeaky wheel very loud
- <Baruch> (I was thinking Imaginem, much easier like that)
- * Momo wish with all his feline might that Baruch botch the spell.
- <CJR> Yes, that would work :)
- <Baruch> (I
- <Silas> (lol, bad kitty)
- <Baruch> "We'll need to do this somewhere private. And it won't be a real dress, I'm afraid, but should serve for this purpose."
- <CJR> A tabby cat in a nearby try calls out "hi Sexy!" to Momo
- <CJR> tree not try
- <Baruch> (No wait, +2 sun, so it's level 4)
- <CJR> Edith looks happy. " A fairy dress?"
- <Baruch> "... Yes, something of that kind."
- <Baruch> Is there anything like an empty room or something anywherE?
- <CJR> There is some kind of building across in the moddle of the Churchyard, with an open door, that people don't seem to be entering
- <Momo> "Hi babe!" to tabby cat
- <Baruch> "Follow me" *heads to empty building*
- <CJR> The tabby cat clambers down slowly, stretches languorously and wanders over to sniff Momo. "Clover" she introduces herself
- <CJR> Baruch, the place has a slightly desolate air
- <CJR> A monk wanders out as you approach, nods and keeps walking
- <Momo> "Momo" He offer a cat version of handshake
- <CJR> Inside the place is a single drak room, about thirty by twenty
- <Baruch> Once we're there, I'll try for the level 4 imaginem sight-only dress for Sun duration. "Hold still, I can't promise this will work here." *Closes door*
- <Silas> "I will try and find Ramon, maybe see if he will be the second witness.."
- <CJR> Clover rbites your ear playfully Momo
- <CJR> Yes, Ramon is still shopping
- <CJR> He has bough stuff for wedding
- <Baruch> !roll 1d10+17 (shouting and waving)
- <Magic_Dice> Baruch, (shouting and waving): 25 :8+17
- <CJR> The room has an aura of 3, so -89
- <CJR> so -9 even
- * Silas heads towards the market
- <CJR> Baruch, it's very dark and cold in here.
- <CJR> Edith shivers
- <Baruch> It works
- <CJR> there is a staircase leading down in one corner
- <Baruch> 13-9=4
- <Baruch> Or is it rounded down?
- <CJR> Sure. You subtract from the roll anyway before you halve?
- <CJR> So you make it easily
- <Baruch> Ah ok, so it's easy
- <Baruch> Do I roll Finesse?
- <CJR> Edith sits on a wheeled cart, and tries to admire the dress but it is too dark
- <Baruch> With what attribute?
- <CJR> Absolutely. Int + Finesse, difficulty 12
- <Baruch> !roll 1d10+7
- <Magic_Dice> Baruch: 10 :3+7
- <Baruch> Heh, not quite the spectacular one
- <CJR> Momo, Clover asks you why they have gone in to the Charnal House
- <Momo> (A hole on the butt, nothing spectacular)
- <CJR> Ah, do you want to spend confidence Baruch, or just have an annoyed Edith?
- <Ramon> (i think it more like the flower muster is not as it should be)
- * Momo reply his human friend is having a wedding prep
- <Baruch> I think I'll spend the confidence ;)
- <Baruch> "There, that should do it. Hope you like it."
- <CJR> :) OK. Edith looks at the coffins full of bodies stacked around the walls, and gently points them out to you
- <CJR> "A little er, somber, Baruch, for my wedding day!"
- <Baruch> "Yes. Let us go back outside, this is unpleasant."
- * Baruch heads back out
- <Gustbran> (some people just can't be satisfied)
- <CJR> Clover looks stunned. "in a receiving tomb? Silly humans! Are you the Best Cat?"
- <CJR> Gustbran, Momo appears to have made a friend
- <Momo> "Only the best cat can take care of these silly human~"
- <CJR> Silas, in the hectic bustl eof the market you finally bump in to Ramon laden down with goods
- * Silas explains the meeting with Abbot Samon and if he would want to be the second witness for the wedding
- <Ramon> "Hmm sure why not"
- <CJR> Clover explains to Momo that church mice are strictly off limits here. Yet they are delicious.
- <CJR> OK, Edith has her dress, anyone else got anything to do before the service?
- * Momo thansk clover for the info
- * Gustbran looks for the wine
- <Silas> "I am glad to hear, you have been a big help to Edith as well as me, so it was only fair to ask" [smiles]
- <CJR> Clover invites Momo to a bask. That's when a whole bunch of cats lay on a high roof and enjoy whatever sun there is. :)
- * Silas looks around for some flowers in the market
- * Momo goes bask and forgot about the team
- <CJR> Gustbran, just at that moment a wagon pulled by a donkey wityh a large number of casks of wine arrives. Each is painted with the Abbott's head on.
- <Ramon> "Do you think she will like this scarf? The vendor told me its traditional around this region"
- <CJR> It seems to be waiting to enter the town - it came form the monatsery
- <CJR> Silas, flowers are out of season. It's October remember. Hence the oddity none of you spotted - the Abbott pruning his flowering roses! You realise now with a start
- <Silas> "I am sure she will love it"
- <CJR> The wine merchant looks at Gustbran curiously.
- <Silas> (I failed to realize! gaspness!)
- <Gustbran> "you wouldn't happen to be sellin those, yea?"
- <Gustbran> "I'll buy onme of them."
- <CJR> Momo, the bask takes place on a tower roof. The sunlight there is much warmer than it should be, and twenty town cats lay supine, enjoying the sun
- * Momo joins in
- <CJR> The ine merchant looks happy enough, and unloads a keg. For the wedding sir?
- * Silas looks around for a quiet corner, perhaps a bit outside the market for a quick spell
- <Gustbran> "we'll best make one for me and another for the wedding"
- <CJR> "last night I dreant of our good saint and martyr, and he told me to find a guard in armour here in the churchyard, and give him a barrel of my best. No charge. Just twenty gallons"
- <CJR> "You wish another sir?"
- <CJR> Silas, there is a little courtyard off the market currently quiet
- <Ramon> (oO strange things happen here)
- <Momo> (Saint)
- <Gustbran> "nah, I'f your're giving, just one is surely enouhg.(
- <CJR> The cats roll around contentedly in the sun that should not be here
- <Silas> (No kidding, God has ordained this wedding..)
- * Gustbran is taken aback temporarily from the generousity.
- * Silas moves to the courtyard and casts a creo herbam
- <CJR> The merchant asks you to lend a hand unloading, or where you want it delivering
- <CJR> http://www.britainexpress.com/images/attractions/editor/Bury-St-Edmunds-1557.jpg
- <Ramon> (Or her fater)
- <CJR> Momo, thats the tower roof you are basking on.
- <CJR> Ramon, a woman approaches you. She is heavily cloaked and veiled, but she sees to want you to speak with her
- <Silas> !roll 1d10+11 (Going towards a white lily)
- <Magic_Dice> Silas, (Going towards a white lily): 14 :3+11
- <Gustbran> (looks like the ghostbusters building a little)
- <Ramon> "Madam?"
- <CJR> OK Silas, make a Finesse roll
- * Gustbran helps the merchant and points the way
- <CJR> The woman says nothing, but gestures for you to follow her, and moves south down St. Andrew's Street
- <Silas> !roll 1d10+2 (untrained)
- <Magic_Dice> Silas, (untrained): 12 :10+2
- <CJR> Where to Gustbran? St. Mary's chuirch?
- * Ramon follow her

- <Silas> !roll 1d10
- <Magic_Dice> Silas: 3
- <Silas> (are you sure, since it is untrained..)
- <CJR> http://www.genealogysource.com/stmaryschurch_P9220139.jpg
- <CJR> yep, three then
- <Gustbran> (I'm kinda winging it here, I assumed I was not too far from where it was going down since I stumbled on the guy pretty fast/)
- <CJR> #three rolls, sorry
- <Silas> !roll 1d10
- <Magic_Dice> Silas: 7
- <Silas> !roll 1d10
- <Magic_Dice> Silas: 3
- <CJR> yep, I just posted picture fo the churh from where you are standing Gustbran
- <Gustbran> "To there, then!"
- <CJR> Ramon, the woman leads you down the street, then through a gate in ot a courtyard. There is a forge here, and a stables - back of what look like a prosperous merchants house.
- <CJR> She slooks at you in Catalan and says "The wedding feast and upper room are prepared. Here is the key. No I must away to my husband."
- <CJR> She walks quickly off, not looking back, but hands you a key and points to the stairs to the room above the forge and stables
- <Ramon> "Huh, thank you mam"
- <CJR> Silas looks around. No Ramon now, and you have a rather wilted looking lily.
- <CJR> Edith and Baruch?
- * Ramon take a look first and then look it again to go back to the curch
- <Ramon> (err lock)
- <Baruch> Yes, we were trying to get out of the catacomb building
- * Silas sighs and returns towards the church
- * Silas places the lily by one of the tombs he passes
- <CJR> Ramon, a large upper room has been laid out with a table, and place settings for a dozen folks, and decorated with green boughs, red berries and brightly lit candles. The whole room smells of pomanders (oranges which have been stuck all over with nutmeg and cloves)
- <CJR> Ramon, the crown jewels ar eon Sedala right?
- <CJR> Where is Sedala?
- <CJR> Just checking.
- <Baruch> (We if we left her alone somewhere, we probably wouldn't have left the jewels on her :P)
- <Silas> ( sweet god :p )
- <CJR> Well they are heavy
- <Ramon> (Didn't I left her by gustbran so he can have a eye on her?)
- <CJR> Just thought I'd ask...
- <Silas> (Sure we would haha)
- <Gustbran> (I'm fairly sure i still have the one i saved)
- <CJR> Yes, you did, in the meadows about three miles away
- <Silas> (Corbenik might be keeping watch though..)
- <CJR> Ah OK Corbenik stands guard over the jewels
- <Baruch> (Yes, that's good)
- <CJR> Cool.
- <Ramon> (that sound good yes)
- <CJR> OK, time to move on. Give me 5 mins to fetch bec drink and soup and i'll do the wedding
- <Ramon> (I doubt I could get trough the market with her behind me)
- <Silas> (He's by far one of the more competent of us :p )
- <CJR> A short scene for once
- <Silas> (sounds good)
- <Silas> (will start some tea then)
- <Gustbran> (already ate all my sammiches)
- <CJR> Ok won't be asec
- <Gustbran> (k)
- <Ramon> "Someone must already aranged for everything I just got a key to a room for the fest afterwards"
- <Baruch> "Excellent. This is proving a great deal less difficult than I had feared."
- <Silas> "It seems Saint Edward agrees with our union" [he beams]
- <Ramon> "I just wonder who helps us and what the price will be afterward for this"
- <Baruch> "It does seem like the coincidences add up, yes."
- <Ramon> "Who will stay outside during the weeding to have a eye on Sedala?"
- <Silas> "The abbot told me that he had heard the saint speak to him, asking him to aid us, I think they just wish to correct the mistake archmage Stehan made when he took the crown.."
- <Ramon> "Ohh and where is Momo?"
- <Silas> "I thought Corbenik was.."
- * Silas shrugs
- <Silas> "Playing somewhere, I suspect"
- <Baruch> "There was also the divine mist, if you recall. Perhaps the divine is indeed mixed up in all of this."
- <Silas> "How much trouble would he be able to get into...."
- * Gustbran arrives helping the cask inside
- * Silas nods
- <Gustbran> "hey everyone!"
- <Silas> "maybe the mist was there to aid us.. - it certainly did"
- <Ramon> "Gustbran we need the Cask at the other side of the city as we got a room"
- <CJR> Momo: suddenly a large ild looking cat of mixed colours tarts up "Gentleman and Ladies - to the Church porch" he yowls
- <CJR> wild looking
- <CJR> Gutsbran arrives at the Church porch rolling a huge barrel of wine
- <CJR> A small crowd of interested locals arrive
- * Momo follows
- <CJR> Silas, a woman steps forward, hands you a bunch of roses, and silently departs
- <Silas> "It will have to wait, --"
- <CJR> Momo = Dex + Athletics to leap down the roofs after them
- <Silas> "Many thanks!"
- <CJR> OK, who is gathering at the Church porch?
- * Silas looks around for Edith
- * Ramon is with the others
- <CJR> She si standinga little away away, by Edith
- <CJR> Abbot samso is slowly walking over - he is old and infirm
- * Baruch gathers
- <CJR> The whole town now basks in golden sunlight
- <Momo> !roll 1d10+6 (+1 if parkour)
- <Magic_Dice> Momo, (+1 if parkour): 14 :8+6

- <Magic_Dice> Gustbran: 8 :5+3
- <Baruch> !roll 1d10+1
- <Magic_Dice> Baruch: 10 :9+1
- <CJR> Baruch, a fellow in a chain short in armour is riding fast across the square (called angel hill) towards you all
- <CJR> chain shirt
- <CJR> His horse seems very fast, and rather impressive
- * Ramon bow toward the abbott
- <CJR> Abbot Samson gestures
- * Silas returns to Ramon and the abbot
- <CJR> "Dearly beloved, we are gathered together here in the sight of God to join together Silas and Aeditha in holy Matrimony; which is an honourable estate, instituted of God in Paradise, and into which holy estate these two persons present come now to be joined. Therefore if any man can shew any just cause, why they may not lawfully be joined together, by God's Law, or the Laws of the Realm; let...
- <CJR> ...him now speak, or else hereafter forever hold his peace.
- <CJR> Momo and a frantic horde of cats arrive and join the crowd. Momo lead the way, and the big cat Tinker glares at him
- <Momo> It's only natural for the king of cats
- <CJR> The horseman thunders nearer, and the crowd start to part lest they are trampled.
- <CJR> Anyone speaking out to object to the marriage?
- * Silas only smiles at Edith
- <Momo> (Pent up emotion anyone?)
- <CJR> Samson pauses and looks around...
- * Baruch is looking unusually not-worried
- <CJR> Edith glares defiantly at everyone as if challenging them to speak
- <Silas> (heh.. yeah)
- <CJR> Samson "I require and charge you both, as ye will answer at the dreadful day of judgment when the secrets of all hearts shall be disclosed, that if either of you know any impediment, why ye may not be lawfully joined together in Matrimony, that ye confess it. For ye be well assured, that so many as be coupled together otherwise than God's Word doth allow are not joined together by God;...
- <CJR> ...neither is their Matrimony lawful."
- <CJR> He looks at Silas and Edith. "Any reason not to marry you?"
- <Silas> "None at all"
- <CJR> Edith waits a moment, then says "no" quietly
- <CJR> "Wilt thou Silas have this Woman to be thy wedded wife, to live together after God's ordinance in the holy estate of Matrimony? Wilt thou love her, comfort her, honour, and keep her, in sickness and in health; and forsaking all others, keep thee only unto her, so long as ye both shall live?"
- <CJR> The horseman is now almost by you.
- * Silas smiles to Edith
- <Silas> "
- <Silas> "yes"
- <CJR> "Wilt thou Aeditha have this man to be thy wedded husband, to live together after God's ordinance in the holy estate of Matrimony? Wilt thou obey him, and serve him, love, honour, and keep him in sickness and in health; and, forsaking all other, keep thee only unto him, so long as ye both shall live?"
- <CJR> Edith is about to say something when...
- <CJR> !roll 1d10+4
- <Magic_Dice> CJR: 9 :5+4
- <Silas> (rolling for initiative, I am sure)
- <CJR> the horseman grabs her, throws her across his saddle and charges past the astonished wedding crowd. "YES!" yells Edith as she is carried off....
- <CJR> Roll for initiative now.
- <Silas> !roll 1d10-1
- <Magic_Dice> Silas: 6 :7-1
- <Silas> (Get your grubbe hands off her..!)

- <CJR> Everyone is rolling 0!
- <CJR> 'Tis Calpurnia's fault!
- <Momo> always!
- <Baruch> (I rolled a 9, though)
- <Momo> (You got 10, which include a 0!)
- <Silas> (close though :p )
- <CJR> Silas, roll for Edith. She is at +1
- <Silas> !roll 1d10+1
- <Magic_Dice> Silas: 7 :6+1
- <CJR> OK Silas, you can play Edith.
- <Silas> (at least it wasn't a zero :) )
- <Silas> (ok)
- <Momo> (the slowest kidnapper)
- <CJR> BAruch you first
- <Silas> (A shame she doesn't have her sword with her..)
- <Momo> (don't forget divine domain)
- <CJR> it's 5 here, so -15 to spell casting rolls
- <Baruch> (Waitaminute, is pull of the skybound winds voice range? Can't cast it quietly then, right?)
- <Silas> (I wouldn't think so, no)
- <CJR> Correct. The victim must be able to hear you
- <Momo> (You can hit the horse... Horse have better hearing...)
- <CJR> (Silas: She forgot it, did she pick one up at the Mercer House?)
- <Silas> (hehe regardless I don't think she would carry it under her wedding gown)
- <Silas> (well...)
- <Silas> (naa, probably not, even if she did pick one up on the way)
- <CJR> Just this once she decided to leave it on Sedala. she makes a mental not to pick it up before the honeymoon
- <Silas> (lol, comforting...)
- <Baruch> I think Baruch will have to just run after them feebly, and try to find a spot where no one sees him
- <CJR> OK, that's a difficulty 18 dex + athletics roll. :)
- <Baruch> !roll 1d10+1
- <Magic_Dice> Baruch: 2 :1+1
- <Silas> (run Forest!)
- <Baruch> !roll 1d10
- <Magic_Dice> Baruch: 10
- <Baruch> (Haha)
- <Silas> (its a good start..)
- <CJR> Abbott Samson mutters "Those whom God hath joined together let no man put asunder." He looks bewildered.
- <Silas> (holy...)
- <CJR> :)
- <Ramon> (oO)
- <Momo> (God bless Baruch windy leg)
- <CJR> roll two botch dice Baruch
- <Silas> (Next when we have a marathon in the City of Ivory and Jade, we are making you run Baruch!)
- <Ramon> (Why he go 21)
- <CJR> oh sorry.
- <CJR> I misread the dice. :)
- <Momo> (running faster than the horse)
- <Momo> (roll for horse?)
- <Silas> (lol)
- <Momo> (I want to see what the horse rolled lol)
- <CJR> With 21 Baruch actually gets ahead of the horseman, leaping over cats, round monks, and finally leaping on to a wagon and ending up on the horse behind the knight
- <Silas> (hehe..)
- <Baruch> "Catch him!"
- <CJR> The horses peed is less important, it;s the rider managing to ride through the crowds
- <CJR> So many people sklow things down
- <CJR> Baruch, do you want to jump on the horse, or just get ahead of it?
- <Momo> (touch range tornado)
- <Silas> (fwoooomm)
- <Baruch> (Wait I'm able to get on the horse of the person who stole Edith away?"
- <CJR> or you could spend confidence, get 24 a Mythic Success that will be talked about forever, and just declare the outcome?
- <Momo> (Yes, you can hop to the backseat)
- <CJR> Whatever that might be for a legendary act like that
- <Momo> (spend it and be action movie star)
- <CJR> With 24 you could do almost anything athletic :D Any suggestions?
- <Baruch> (haha)
- <Momo> (time to look up some hollywood flim)
- <Silas> (not only jumped onto the horse, but also the rider. You force him to fall while you land on the horse and take the reigns
- <Momo> (Backflip onto the horse)
- <Silas> (yeah we need a backflip..)
- <Momo> (Leg wrap the rider in midair)
- <Momo> (Surplax him off the horse)
- <CJR> (yep, and then make the horse trot back: that's a 24, levaing the rider in a water barrel, legs kicking wildly for instance?)
- <Baruch> Yes, I think I'll spend the confidence, jump on the horse, land on the rider's back with both my feet, take a stranglehold of his throat with my legs, twist him off the horse, and grab the reins of the horse, bringing it to a halt
- <Momo> (While free hand grab edith safely)
- <Silas> (of cause)
- <Momo> (or you could surplex the horse)
- <CJR> OK, you do that. The rider crashes t the ground, and Edith laughs loudly, delighted! "Old Misery can really run!" she cries :)
- <Baruch> (What's that?)
- <CJR> Baruch are you making off with the horse and Edith or just waiting for the others?
- <Momo> (All hail wind lord)
- <Gustbran> "Oh wow!"
- <Silas> "Thats..."
- <CJR> Ramon, your action!
- <Silas> [starts an applause]
- <Baruch> I'll wait for the others, shouting "Halt, villain!"
- * Gustbran wonders what magic baruch used.
- <Silas> (ah sorry)
- * Momo applause with the cats
- <CJR> The cats yowl delightedly in a cat like cacophony of glee!

- <CJR> Did you getch Sedala? Thought she was in meadown with Corbenik?
- <CJR> meadow
- <Ramon> (ups ok then she is not here I though Corbenik and Sedala was in front of the Church)
- <CJR> The knight takes a light wound for a bumped head for the fall from the horse
- <Ramon> (And how did we get here if not with Sedala)
- <Silas> (walked, we are in the city after all)
- <CJR> You left sedala outside the town I thought, with Corbenik.
- <Momo> (with 24 athletic of course)
- <CJR> And all walked in to town. Hence my question earlier?
- <Ramon> (I thight I gave Sedala last time in care of Gust outside of the curch but then let it this way you think it is)
- <CJR> Edith has jumped off the horse and is running back, having only paused to kick the knight
- <CJR> !roll 1d10+2
- <Magic_Dice> CJR: 9 :7+2
- <CJR> ouch!
- <Silas> (lol)

- * Ramon walk toward edith to make sure she get save back
- <Baruch> "Restrain that man!"
- <CJR> RAmon, Edith grabs you by the hand and says "quick, the wedding!" and rushes towards church.
- <Ramon> (the ceremony is right now more important then keep this man a prisoner for Ramon)
- <CJR> What you gonna do Ramon?
- * Ramon lead Edith back to the Abbott
- <CJR> And Silas, you too?
- <Silas> Go embrace Edith and return with them to the Abbot
- <CJR> Ramon and Edith are running back to the church porch (where medieval weddings took place, the doorway to the church, not inside!)
- <Silas> (They moved them inside to avoid bride abduction? :p )
- <CJR> Edith appears to be enjoying herself immensely Silas. "bit slow on rescuing me!" she says in mock fury as she reaches you
- <CJR> Momo, your action please?
- <CJR> Clover looks at Tinker, then you.
- <Silas> "I was sure you would have knocked him off the horse! There were no worry"
- <Silas> ("Looks like meat is back on the menu boys! *noms on the knight* )
- * Momo joins in the delightful glees of the cats
- <Baruch> (When the knight gets up, I'm fucked)
- <Momo> (Or he is)
- <CJR> "no Worry when your wife is carried off?!!" Edith looks at the crowd and shakes her head ruefully. "should I really marry this turnip headed man, people? Any better offers??!"
- <Silas> (naa he'll get lynched by the crowd)
- <CJR> OK, Gustbran!
- <CJR> What you doing?
- * Silas laughs
- <Momo> (Put down the spear)
- <Silas> (stab the priest, all that pent up anger must go somwehre)
- <CJR> Gustbran, this guy has a shortsword :)
- * Gustbran puts down his spear and raises his sling
- <CJR> lol! excellent. Roll it :)
- <Ramon> (Gust and I are needed to finish the ceremony thats why I decided to lead Edith back)
- <Baruch> (Uh oh. You did hear me exclaim about RESTRAINING him, right? :D)
- <CJR> !1d10 -1 defence
- <CJR> !roll 1d10-1 defence
- <Magic_Dice> CJR, defence: 7 :8-1

- <Baruch> (How much damage is that?)
- <Ramon> (Momo isn't the knight a good place to sharp your claws? ;) )
- <CJR> so 3 + damage please?
- <Silas> 3 I suppose, not sure you add strength to ranged?
- <Momo> ( I am on a roof)

- <CJR> OK the "knight" gets up this round, drawing a sword.
- <CJR> Baruch?
- <Momo> (touch range tornado)
- <CJR> Your action again!
- <Baruch> (Wait a sec, the damage for the sling is +6, so that means +9 with the bonus, right?)
- <Gustbran> yup
- <Silas> (yes)
- <Momo> (You firing diamond or something)
- <CJR> Ah, OK, a third light wound :)
- <Ramon> (Wow +6 dmg thats even bether then a shortbow)
- <Baruch> (Are there people around me?)
- <Silas> (a jagged diamond, into his eye)
- <CJR> Yes, watching in amazament
- <Silas> (what will the man do now I wonder? make the horse dance? ^^ )
- <CJR> Abbott Samson says "Bless these Rings, O merciful Lord, that those who wear them, that give and receive them, may be ever faithful to one another, remain in your peace, and live and grow old together in your love, under their own vine and fig tree, and seeing their children's children. Amen."
- <CJR> (You get the impression he is not really sure what is going on)
- <Silas> (he speaks with saints, it isn't required for him :p )
- <CJR> (and all his bits are in Latin, of course)
- <CJR> Baruch, what you doing? :)
- <Ramon> (So no problem for us to understand :) )
- <CJR> :)
- <Baruch> I'll try to ride the horse away from the man
- <Baruch> If it looks at all possible - if there aren't too many people blocking my way, that is
- <CJR> OK just make a Dex Ride at -3 unless Gentle Gifted?
- <Baruch> (Oh yeah there's the goddamn gift bonus. Argh.)
- <Baruch> (Scratch that)
- <Silas> ("bonus" :) )
- <Momo> (Just scare the horse away will do too)
- <Baruch> I'll just get off the horse and run away, try to get people between me and the guy

- <CJR> OK, Baruch runs back through the crowd, reaching you all without even breaking a sweat. No need to roll Athletis fo rthe rest fo the scene, it stays mythic
- <Ramon> (looks like the Adrenalin left your body)
- <Silas> (can't win them all, but still, the rescue was brilliant)
- <Baruch> (Ah, ok)
- <CJR> Edith and Silas exchange rings?
- <Silas> (ah neat )
- * Silas proceeds with the ritual
- <CJR> "Forasmuch asSilas and Aeditha have consented together in holy wedlock, and have witnessed the same before God and this company, and thereto have given and pledged their troth each to the other, and have declared the same by giving and receiving of a Ring, and by joining of hands; I pronounce therefore that they be Man and Wife together, in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the...
- <CJR> ...Holy Spirit. Amen"
- <CJR> The Abbott smiles. "You may kiss the bride... if you dare!" he whispers
- * Silas smirks before giving Edith a kiss
- <CJR> OK, end of scene. :)
- <Momo> (To the torture chamber!)
- <CJR> Anyone doing anything else that afternoon?
- * Ramon lead the other to the prepared room and then get SCopernicus and Sedala
- <Gustbran> (I wasn't going to risk a combat at -2)
- <Gustbran> (so I kep my distance)
- * Silas hopes someone catches the rider
- <Gustbran> (I'm good until whenever
- <Gustbran> )
- <CJR> Qh yes, the prepared room is well stocked with food and ale (but no wine) when you arrive. Several maids stand around ot seve you, aid for by the Spanish lady
- <CJR> Anyone inviting anyone?
- * Momo having his own cat party
- <Ramon> "Edith do you or Gustbran have distant relatives here?"
- <CJR> And the important part - when are you setting off in search of Edith's father?
- <CJR> !roll 1d10

- <Ramon> (Do I know of the local noble?)
- <CJR> !roll 1d10
- <Magic_Dice> CJR: 8
- <Ramon> "The room is big enough to invite at last some of them"
- <CJR> Abbott Samson. he rules West Suffolk on behalf of the King
- <CJR> OK, you invite them then?
- <Ramon> "Abboth would you give us the honer to have the meal with us?"
- <CJR> Shame about Brother Gui and Anna not being here!
- <CJR> Abbot Samson is delighted to come along
- <Baruch> (I think we would spend the night here, and then set off to find daddy- o. I suggest the characters simply vote whether they would like to try Libellus or go back to the covenant, so we don't have to spend any more time pondering that)
- <Momo> (we have like 1/3 week left)
- <Momo> (like 3 days)
- <CJR> OK, if oyu are spending the night here, and all enjoying selves, roll Sta + Carouse please :)
- <Silas> (Sounds like a good idea to stay the day - this is only day 2 of the week I think)
- <Ramon> (I agree let this day get past the weeding have to celebrated no mater if we are sort on time)
- <Ramon> (yes its day 2)
- <Baruch> (Yes, I think this is only the second day, so we will have 5 days still)

- <Magic_Dice> Gustbran: 9 :6+3
- <Silas> Ramon joinnig the reveling? :)
- * Ramon keep to much a eye to not drop his etiquette in front of the Abbott to have a good time
- <CJR> Silas you have a great night. Baruch has an incredible time. Gustbran drinks heavily and no hangover. Momo runs over roofs showing off and annoying Tinker 7 impressing Clover.He is truly a King among cats.
- <Silas> (But other than that, I'll vote for moving to Libellus tomorrow)
- <CJR> Ramon entertains the Abbott, who seems very happy.
- <CJR> You all sleep in the room, except for silas and Edith who head off to an inn.
- <CJR> We will pick up the story in the morning, just need a quick break. Back in 5 that ok?
- <Silas> Sure
- <Gustbran> sure
- <Ramon> (Sure)
- <Momo> si
- <Baruch> ok
- <CJR> Oh Silas gains a Temporary Faith point, like a Confidence point, that can be used once only to protect his marriage vows or wife, on top of confidence.
- <Silas> (so, quick vote? Libellus or City of Ivory and Jade?)
- <Gustbran> (really need to reduce this wound. I say the city to pick up aiden)
- <Silas> (So, both Faith and confidence, or was it just an instruction how how it works?)
- <Silas> (1 City and 1 to Libellus, other votes?)
- <Ramon> (we can have a look at the grave first if her fater is buried there but if not we should return to the covenant to look for other options)
- <Ramon> (err graveyard)
- <Silas> (good point actually, the Abbot might know..)
- <Gustbran> (I agree)
- <Momo> (How far is our city? We might as well bring someone that can summon ghost unless libellus have one)
- <Silas> (not sure how far, but some hours travel on Sedala, but not sure Libellus would aid us, unless Momo can pull a miracle in that direction :) )
- <Baruch> (If he's at the christian graveyard, he's had a christian burial and there's nothing we can do with Silas' spell then anyway)
- <Ramon> (We dont whant make the Archmage awear of our intentions or would we?)
- <Baruch> (Baruch votes for city)
- <Momo> (The end of the week might really have something big that gonna happen too, so we should be efficient)
- <Baruch> (I think we could make him aware, I think - we'd just have to convince him not to sacrifice anyone)
- <Silas> 2 city and 1 Libellus
- <Momo> (Just say we figure out a faster way to do this)
- <Ramon> (No I mean by visiting Libellas)
- <Silas> (Silas fears what he would do if Antonius knew)
- <Ramon> (as Momo thought ^^)
- <Baruch> (If we were able to figure a faster way, we would have done so already)
- <Momo> (we are lying to him of course)
- <Baruch> (I vote no to figuring anything out anymore, since we have a plan already)
- <Silas> (what Antonius would do, rather)
- <CJR> I'm back btw
- <Momo> (It's 50/50 for him)
- <Ramon> (As mentioned Ramon is fine if we visit the graveyeard near Libellas to look if her dead is there but if not we have to return to our City)
- <Momo> (to libellas then)
- <Baruch> (Ok, so 2 city, 2 libellus, with the reservation that we shouldn't do anything beyond looking for the graveyard.)
- <Silas> (Silas will urge caution if we return, suspecting that Antonius is prone to sacrificing people preemptively)
- <Ramon> Question to the Abbott "Do you know where her dad is burried so we can pay him a visit when we are already nearby?"
- <CJR> The Abbott has no idea on that
- <CJR> So you heading up towards Libellas? When you going? Day or night? On foot or on Sedala?
- <Baruch> (Ok, let's head for Libellus then, just to *look* from afar if we can see a graveyard outside their Aegis)
- <Ramon> (Edith mentioned already the graveyard at the start of todays game)
- <Baruch> (That was the christian graveyard of smoe town)
- <Silas> "Abbot Samson, I have a small gift, for all the aid you and the people have provided us" [hands him 15 silver]
- <Baruch> (There's going to have to be another one for this to work)
- <Baruch> I'll spont a creo auram cloud around Sedala (she can see through this, right?), so that we cannot be spotted with second sight or anything like that
- <Baruch> We'll head out first thing in the morning, right? And on Sedala?
- <Ramon> "Yes she can see trough illusions and natural wether phenomaens"
- <Silas> [Still to the abbot] "Do you happen to know of a Polandus? He is supposedly guardian of Saint Edward's head. - Where we might find him?"
- <CJR> OK, let's cut to early morning. You leave town by the gate, head in to the woods, sedala grows and you cast spells yes?
- <Baruch> !roll 1d10+46 (cloud spont at day duration and rego requisite to keep the cloud around Sedala)
- <Magic_Dice> Baruch, (cloud spont at day duration and rego requisite to keep the cloud around Sedala): 48 :2+46
- <CJR> !roll 1d10+5
- <Magic_Dice> CJR: 10 :5+5
- <Baruch> (Should be easily enough for the cloud)
- <CJR> Abbott Samson nods. Polandus was the wolf who gaurded st. Edmund's head till it was recovered, a talking divine wolf! He is said to roam the woods between here and Long melford
- <CJR> (that conversation was last night)
- <Silas> (mhm=
- <Ramon> (Yes expect so )
- <CJR> OK, morning. A strange cloud flies south over the rolling Suffolk countryside!
- <Ramon> (Sad Class is not here he would suggest to conact the cat ^^)
- <Silas> "Many thanks abbot Samson, your aid has truely been a heaven sent!" [returns to the partying]
- <CJR> Sedala, Perception + Awareness please
- <Ramon> (Ramon use his Red Cap also)
- <Baruch> (And Baruch casts true sight of the air a usual)

- <CJR> To the south, ahead of you, there is are great plumes of fire, from many burning barns and houses
- <Ramon> !roll 1d10+3 (+1 if Awearness for Ramon)
- <Magic_Dice> Ramon, (+1 if Awearness for Ramon): 4 :1+3
- <Ramon> !roll 1d10 (if Stress Die)
- <Magic_Dice> Ramon, (if Stress Die): 3
- <Silas> (Its the crazy pyromaniac from Libellus!)
- <CJR> Then you see Libellas, the walls rebuilt, with four strong towers. A Circle of Great boulders rings it now.
- <CJR> The fires are maybe ten miles further south.
- <Ramon> (so 15/4 if Stressless or 5/10 if Stress)
- <CJR> yes thats's fine
- <Silas> "We best set down before we get into their Aegis.."
- <CJR> Something large and draconic is laying wate to a town up there.
- * Ramon avoid to fly over the burning area
- <Momo> (great, back to our city)
- <Silas> (wellp...)
- <Ramon> "Ohh my good a Dragon in rampage"
- <Momo> (Let's not get associate with dragon again)
- <CJR> You see the woods near libellas, and a spot where once a chicken coop stood by a cottage
- <CJR> The dragon breaks off burning Sudbury and flaps slowly in to the air
- <Baruch> "I would rather not get down before we have spotted the graveyard. Keep your eyes peeled, everyone."
- <Baruch> (How far away is it?)
- <CJR> About ten to fifteen miles ta moment
- <Ramon> "I prefer to keep my eye on the dragon and get high as I dont whant to encounter him"
- <CJR> maybe less, actually by time you get to libellas about eight
- <CJR> Plan please?
- <Gustbran> (would my area lore help here?)
- <Baruch> Can we roll perception for spotting the graveyard first?
- <Ramon> "So where is this graveyeard Edith? if we have the waterfall and the covenant as 2 points what direction is it?"
- <Silas> (Edith didn't know of a graveyard, I think)
- <Ramon> (She told us about it)
- <Baruch> (I was talking about the covenant's own graveyard)
- <Gustbran> (Covenant: Area 5)
- <CJR> You can see the churchyard at Long Melford, that is obvious, huge church!
- <Baruch> (ARGH! That was the town's graveyard)
- <CJR> You can't see one at Libellas.
- <Baruch> (We're looking for the COVENANT's graveyard)
- <Baruch> (Ok)
- <CJR> Gustbran Per + Area lore roll please
- <Ramon> (Can Gust see trough the cloud?)
- <Gustbran> (do I get the full or -3?)
- <Gustbran> (I don't need to see to tell you where to look)

- <Baruch> "If we are landed, I can strike at the dragon with lightning, but I cannot summon a storm if we are in the sky ourselves"
- <Ramon> "Bether in the Air then on ground because of Sedala"
- <CJR> Gutbran, there appears to be a large shaggy dog waiting by the chicken coop site
- <Gustbran> ?
- <Ramon> "But I prefer to net encounter him at all that why I gain hight right now"
- <Baruch> "Very well. Let us flee, then, and return to the covenant."
- <CJR> about a mile west of Libellas. You remember that is witches cottage?
- <Gustbran> (was that a lore roll or a awareness?)
- <CJR> The dog is howling at your cloud.
- <Silas> (Yes, not far from the Devil's chimney)
- <Baruch> "There is no graveyard in sight."
- <CJR> Area Lore. You were checking out the whole area you know so well
- <Gustbran> (ah)
- <Baruch> "Off to the covenant, quickly, before the dragon is upon us!"
- <CJR> (nope, Devil's chimney is 150 miles due west of here, near Gloucester!) :)
- <Silas> (ah, ok)
- <CJR> Sedala, you make out the dog is a wolf
- <Momo> (That wolf)
- <Gustbran> (damn, we need to land and fight)
- <Silas> (dum dum dum duuuumm)
- <Ramon> "Sedala told me its a wolf!"
- <Ramon> "Shoulkd we get down in hope it is the one you talked about yesterday?"
- <Silas> "It may be Polandus then?" [can't see through the cloud, sadly]
- <Baruch> "Ah. It must be Polandrus."
- <CJR> https://maps.google.com/maps?q=Long+Melford+map&ie=UTF-8&hq=&hnear=0x47d8545f1342987b:0x5c8bb4fd479aa9a3,Long+Melford,+Suffolk,+UK&ei=zfPOUf_9OuXa4QSAxYHwAw&ved=0CCkQ8gEwAA
- <Baruch> "Yes. Land us near the wolf, let us hope the forest can protect us from the drake."
- <CJR> (view from Sedala for those who can see!)
- <Momo> (Forest, fire...)
- <CJR> ;)
- <CJR> You going down Ramon?
- <Ramon> (Yes)
- <Momo> (anyone have common sense?)
- <Momo> (at least momo is not with you all)
- <Silas> (I do, actually :p )
- <Baruch> (Why not?)
- <Momo> (Thought he was left behind)
- <Baruch> (I don't think so - why would we leave him behind?)
- <Silas> (Don't tell me you are still flirting with that cat of yours!)
- <Ramon> (huh how would you then get back to the covenant Momo?)
- <Momo> (Can't find him? Anyway I am with you all then)
- <Baruch> (Ok, so momo is with.)
- <CJR> No Assuming Momo in basket!
- * Momo pop out of the basket!
- <CJR> OK, you flap in and land. Polandus looks at the cloud, slightly bemused.
- * Momo saw dragon, "Oh." Momo pop back into the basket
- <Silas> (^^)
- <Ramon> "Your this talking wolf called Polandus my friend talked about?"
- * Silas dismounts, attempting to aid Edith
- <Baruch> Can we still see the dragon from where we are?
- * Momo pop out and joins the team, it's safer.
- <Silas> "Yes, with luck he can aid us"
- * Ramon stays on Sedala and ready his small crossbow
- * Gustbran dismounts and stands ready for if the drake appears
- <CJR> POlandrus looks slight annoyed. "You took your time" says the wolf in Latin. The drakes have awakened, and the magi of Libellas seek to bind them to their will. One of them , a woman who dresses in these woods, is hunting us even now. She uses Edith's father's bones to find the girl.
- <Ramon> "thats not good!"
- * Silas frowns
- <CJR> So Ramon, Edith and Silas, it is a time for action...
- <Baruch> Can we still see the drake?
- <Silas> "We must find her then, and stop her -"
- <CJR> "Silas, you must leave the girl with the others. It is sour only chance. Then you must follow me, and take on your terrible destiny. You have the crown?"
- <Silas> "We have the crown, yes..."
- <CJR> No, you can't see it down here in the woods. You know it is approaching though.
- * Silas gulps
- <Momo> (Terrible destiny of losing a wife)
- <Baruch> (Do I get to roll for something to see if Polandus is telling the truth?)
- <CJR> Follow me - alone! cries the wolf, and sets off at a run.
- <CJR> Right, Edith goes to follow the wolf.
- <Silas> "Wait!" [goes to take the crown]
- <CJR> Sure. Roll Per + Animal Ken Baruch :)
- <Momo> Momo will do it too
- <Baruch> I'll cast clouds of rain and thunder after I've rolled

- <Baruch> (It's not an academic thing)

- * Gustbran tries to grab edith's hand.

- <CJR> Gustbran (only) Per + Awareness

- <CJR> !roll 1d10+1
- <Magic_Dice> CJR: 10 :9+1

- <Silas> (no, but I know that either the mage or the dragon found the lot of you)
- <CJR> "Muto Ignem!" shouts Lucidia
- <Ramon> (Sedala hold her action till she spot a target or have to get away)
- <CJR> !roll 1d10+21
- <Magic_Dice> CJR: 25 :4+21
- <CJR> OK, Penetration 16. Edith screams suddenly, and then there is just a roar of flames.
- <Ramon> (Outch :( )
- <Momo> can I interupt the action?
- <Silas> (you know that huge ass fireball that passed? yeah, it is headed back..)
- <CJR> Momo, sure, you delayed.
- <CJR> what you doing?
- <Momo> (Hmm turning edith to mouse would help?)
- <Silas> (Would make her very much more susceptible to the fire..)
- <Baruch> (Didn't edith and the magus both roll 10 for initiative?)
- <Gustbran> (probably not)
- <CJR> well harder target I guess! :)
- <CJR> but mice burn...
- <Momo> (Weaker body too)
- <Momo> keep delaying
- <CJR> OK, Gustbran, big flames over there
- <CJR> Your action please?
- * Gustbran runs after edith and with GUT any mage he sees if edith is hurt.
- <Gustbran> *will
- <CJR> OK, you see Lucidia readying her next spell. You also see something astonishing - a miniature castle 12' tall, made of flames! The hapless Edith, seemingly unharmed, stands trapped in the middle of it!
- <Silas> (That is pretty impressive..)
- <Gustbran> (if I can attack I will)
- <CJR> (See Prison of Flames, ArM5 p.141 or 142)
- <Momo> (Calpurnia would love to live in there)
- <CJR> You can if you want!
- <CJR> attack that is?
- <Gustbran> *since I'm injured I'll use fatigue and confidence just so you know)

- <Baruch> (Yes, got 50 against level 25)
- <Silas> (+12 so far,)
- <Silas> (how much damage do Gust do?)
- <Momo> (MASSIVE DAMAGE)
- <Silas> (12 is already pretty high up there... but we haven't added the regular damage yet :p )
- <CJR> Confidence adds +3. Ftraigues adds his weapon skill again. Take off wound penalties. Add damage. And the total is?
- <Gustbran> *weapon skill is 8 with specialty, damage is 8, wound already accounted for
- <Silas> (you add str to that?)
- <CJR> So 32 damage with confidence.
- <CJR> You take off 4 for her soak
- <CJR> !roll 1d10+17
- <Magic_Dice> CJR: 20 :3+17
- <Momo> (Mundane, you are scary)
- <CJR> OK, you run her through and she dies instantly!
- <Silas> (how did you get 32 though?
- <CJR> Gutsbran kills again.
- <Silas> isn't it only 23?
- <Silas> "only"
- <CJR> 12 +9 (weapon + speciality) + damage (8) + 3 for confidence
- <Silas> 8 damage, 12 combat advantage 3 confidence
- <CJR> is that right?
- <Momo> (one less crazy flambaue for the world)
- <Silas> ah, thought weapon would have been added in the attack mod
- <Silas> attack roll* rather
- <CJR> H epsent fatigue, which adds his weapon skill (again) for +9
- <Gustbran> (weapon skill is 8 with the specialty, not 9)
- <Silas> ah, ok
- <CJR> Gustbran, which is correct?
- <CJR> Either way, she is very dead.
- <Silas> (wasn't sure it worked like that, never mind me)
- <CJR> CAre to describe the kill Gustbran?
- <Momo> (Let's take over libullas with Gustbran killing all the mage)
- <CJR> And add 5xp to your mage slayer reputation. That matters :)
- <Gustbran> (sure)
- <CJR> RAmon, action please?
- * Ramon let sedala change her position upward and to the left to get in a angle where he can see the mage
- <Silas> (loot corpse *cough*)
- <Ramon> (Ramon dont know about the kill at the point ^^)
- <CJR> Yous e eher now. :) Speared to a tree.
- <Silas> (sad, but true ^^ )
- <CJR> Any action?
- * Momo follows baruch
- * Gustbran killed the mage quickly and without and premeditation, solely due to seeing his cousin trapped in an inferno
- <Ramon> NO hold action as the dragon is still somewhere
- <Gustbran> *any
- <CJR> Baruch, your action please!
- <Ramon> (he botched so no action this round)
- <Silas> (You'd be a good cousin to have when going out on the town ^^)
- <Baruch> Is the storm up yet?
- <CJR> Still gets an action, just after everyone else. :)
- <Momo> (NO YOUR STORM IS NOT UP YET)
- <Baruch> (I'll have to go soon)
- <Gustbran> (I'm near worthless now, prepare for the drake!!!)
- <CJR> It's whistling in now, shaking the trees with huge peals of thunder and causing rain to splatter everything wet and shiny
- <CJR> Momo, you are getting cold and wet
- <Momo> (It's like we are raiding libellus
- <Baruch> Ok, I'll just maintain the storm and see if the drake comes for us or not
- <CJR> Same here. Will try and wrap up quickly
- <CJR> Okey doke.
- <Ramon> (Sedala and Ramon is sparred from becomming wet)
- <CJR> Silas, you versus the wolf.
- <CJR> Make a dodge brawl roll
- <Silas> hehe 1 sec
- <CJR> !roll 1d10+11 for the wolf
- <Momo> (why the wolf attack him?)
- <Silas> !roll 1d10+1
- <Magic_Dice> Silas: 5 :4+1
- <Silas> (ran back to get you guys)
- <CJR> !roll1d10+11
- <Silas> (to a wolf that is a no-go)
- <CJR> !roll 1d10+11
- <Magic_Dice> CJR: 18 :7+11
- <Silas> (13 advantage)
- <CJR> Silas is knocked ot the ground easily, grabbed by the foot by the wolf's slathering jaws, and pulled bumping and yelping ta speed across the woodland floor by an irate wolf.
- <Silas> (gee... thanks)
- <Silas> (and nice and muddy to from Baruch's rain..)
- <Momo> (You will make a good meal)
- <CJR> Edith by the way is mouthing something at Baruch, ramon, Momo and Gustbran through the flames. She does not look impressed!
- <Silas> (that may be an advantage though... but I'm not 100% sure on that)
- <Silas> (lol)
- <Momo> (Rain kill the inferno yet?)
- <CJR> Eventually Silas the wold comes to a glade, and starts to dig a deep hole, dropping your foot
- <Momo> (It better not be another crown, we need bone)
- <CJR> No magical fire. Won't get through that. It's a +25 damage fire after all, a raging inferno. Edith is rather stuck.
- * Silas looks back the way we came, but knows he has little chance to get back with the wolf around
- <Ramon> (Silas will be the new guardian if we dont stop the wolf ^^)
- <CJR> The wolf pull something from the hole - a human head, perfectly preserved. looks a bit like Gustbran, and has Edith's nose. He drops it by your feet.
- <CJR> OK everyone else?
- <Silas> "ah.. I thought we might need the bones..."
- <Baruch> Where is edith? Is she exposed to the sky, i.e. would the drake see her from above, or is she under the trees or somesuch?
- <CJR> Polandrus glares at you. "Do what you need to do. I have done my part"
- * Silas begings casting Whispers Through the Black Gate
- <Silas> !roll 1d10+14
- <Magic_Dice> Silas: 23 :9+14
- <Momo> (yes)
- <CJR> She is very obvious ot a large hungry drake that uses these fires as beacons and is not at ll bothered by the heat, and which si now flapping steadily directly to her.
- <Baruch> Ok, I'll blast the drake with lightning and see how it likes that
- <Ramon> (Ramon or Sedala spot the Drake by now as he gaining hight?)
- <CJR> You have the spell Silas? or you sponting?
- <Silas> (ah sorry, I have it)
- <CJR> Yes you both see the drake flapping straight for the fire
- <CJR> OK Silas, the ghost of Edith's father appears before you "son..." he says "you are bound now to take on my terrible duty - and i must tell you the secret!"
- <Momo> (hurry up, dad)
- <Silas> "Yes.."
- <Ramon> (Lets have the dragon fight next week shall we?)
- <Baruch> (I don't have to roll for the lightning since it's invested in my talisman, so the drake gets hit by a penetration 32 damage 30 lightning as soon as it comes within my field of view)
- <Momo> (Wait for the lightning attack first)
- <CJR> (And Silas is told the secret, which the rest of you do not know, and which time will not permit be to tell now, but he learsn the Words of Sealing and where to bury the Crown!)
- <CJR> OUCH!
- <Momo> (I THINK WE ARE FINE)
- <Silas> (holy....Ffff....)
- <CJR> The drake screams in terrible pain, and flies rapidly away, trailing smoke and black reptillian blood.
- <Silas> (I am *never* dueling you, Baruch!)
- <Ramon> (oO Baruch at it once again)
- <Momo> (why didn't you use that in the first place~)
- <CJR> Shall we wrap here?
- <Gustbran> (probably a pain to recharge)
- <Baruch> Yes, let's do that
- <Momo> k
- <Baruch> (What first place?)
- <Gustbran> k
- <CJR> OK :)
- <Baruch> (She was dead before I got my action)
- <Ramon> Yes its a good place to stop here
- <Silas> (all the previous dragons I think, :p )
- <Momo> (always worth the recharge for something so powerful)
- <CJR> I think everyone gets three confidence points here though.
- <Gustbran> (good thing too!)
- <Baruch> (I have to have the storm running before casting that)
- <Silas> (thanks for the run)
- <CJR> Anyone deserve an extra one? :)
- <Momo> (Better quicken your storm magic)
- <Baruch> (Oh, I only invested the spell after we met the drakes)
- <Ramon> (Baruch should get a extra for his Athletic action)
- <Gustbran> (oh, cj some questions before you go.)
- <CJR> OK Baruch
- <Momo> (baruch should get 5)
- <Silas> (yeah, Baruch should get something for a rescue like that!)
- <CJR> Sure let me just grab Becky a drink.
- <Momo> (or just rep xp)
- <CJR> Hope story vaguey amusing, sorry taken 3 or 4 sessions do far :(
- <Silas> I'll call it here, thanks for the run =)
- <Ramon> SO we need 1 more and then next GM?
- <Momo> good amount for the main campaign
- <Gustbran> 1. so there are no "oblivion' spells for realms?
- <Silas> oh it is CJ, I like it :)
- <Baruch> (It's been great, thanks for running CJ!)
- <Ramon> Thanks for todays run :)
- <Gustbran> (yeah, it's great!)
- <Momo> still need to know what the stolen Lucidia's book is
- <Momo> that calpurnia stolen
- <Silas> (wasn't it a herbam one? I seem to vaguely recall)
- <Momo> herbam is the one I stole
- <Silas> (ah)
- <Momo> I heard it's flambuae cult book
- <Momo> calpurnia is dying to know
- <Momo> she might be dying now for all we know
- <Silas> Either way, best of luck to you all :)
- <Ramon> btw CJ I wish Becky a fast recovery.
- <Momo> me too
- <CJR> I have not got an offcial anser, but it seesm Realms not domains are now used, so go with Realms on Vim Eternal Oblivion type spells
- <CJR> She'll be ok, just a fever, but a very nasty one
- <CJR> I ahve run a few hours with Calpurnia at various pints, but not sure if she is ready to return now. She has certainly done a great deal
- <Ramon> thanks that makes it easyer to handle this spells
- <Gustbran> Also 2. what was that 5xp for. a "reputation" should I treat that as a skill?
- <CJR> I think we need half a session to wrap this, so next GM should be ready next week?
- <Ramon> and make Dirk invent 3 of them winter 1217 if it possible for him ^^
- <CJR> You have reputation "mage killer 1 with 7xp" according to my notes. It act's like a skill yes
- <Ramon> lets have write in the PM who makes next
- <CJR> What was question 1?
- <Gustbran> Sweet. wasn't aware of that. I'll add that.
- <Momo> half a session? I could continue the dragon attack aftermath with your team asking what the hell happened and stuff.
- <Gustbran> The oblivion spells question were #1. previously you said that we had to go on a creature basis rather than realm.
- <CJR> The Flambeau Cult Book is an initiation script, not a normal book. It acts as a Q6 Tractatus in Hellfire Cult Lore as well though. Ypu need that to understand how to use the script that follows, that initiates some weird kind of magic.
- <Momo> k
- <CJR> Ramon, when is your adventure set time wise?
- <Ramon> Autumn 1217 because of the time needed to copy the books
- <CJR> Cool :)
- <CJR> Incidentally, standing invite as always to come game here at Grand Tribunal, which I run http://www.grandtribunal.org/wiki/Main_Page

- <CJR> Sorry not september 7th, clearly. It's mid August
- <Ramon> Btw Cj if you find time can you make the VIs claims for l1215 and 1216 for the other mages?
- <CJR> September 7th is a parapsychology conference at Bath Uni I am addressing :0
- <CJR> Sure, we can do that on the forum :)
- <CJR> OK any more questions?

- ---------------------
- <CJR> They are not standing on flame though
- <CJR> Hey Nyaa!
- <Silas_> Exactly
- <Momo> hi
- <Ramon> Hi Nyaa
- * Gustbran puts away his CAT MAGNET!
- <Ramon> so we are now complet
- <CJR> :)
- <Silas_> good job Freespace :)
- <CJR> OK, ready to go?
- <Baruch> Yea
- <Ramon> yes
- <Silas_> Yep
- <Momo> y
- <Gustbran> Nyaa, remember to log
- <Momo> done
- * Silas_ thanks Polandus and asks if he can show the way back
- <CJR> *********SCENE: The Woods, near Libellus******************
- <CJR> Edith is trapped within a roraring castle of living flame conjured by Lucidia, the now very dead maga. Her body lies pinned to a tree by Gustbran's spear. (Well he has probably removed it by now!) And Silas has snuck off with a wolf. An approaching drake has been struck by Baruch's lightning, and a terrible storm rages overhead
- <CJR> However, through the crashing of thunder, something tells you you are still not alone.
- <CJR> Silas returns, the wolf leading him through the woods
- <Gustbran> (FUUUUUUU...!)
- <Silas_> (time to work on that mage-killing rep you've gotten!)
- <CJR> OK, over to you
- <Baruch> I'll try to hit the drake with lightning again
- <Ramon> (Didn't the Drake retreate?)
- <Gustbran> (kill XP)
- <CJR> OK, you can still see it through the trees. Go for it! It is flying away
- <Momo> (Kill a drake, get rep)
- <Baruch> Ok, there's no roll since it's invested, damage 30 penetration 32
- <Ramon> (outch again ^^)
- <Silas_> (any finesse for hitting?)
- <CJR> Ouch! The Drake takes a second horrible wound!
- <Silas_> (I'm almost feeling bad for it..)
- <CJR> (It's not a targeted effect so prob no Finesse roll, as the Drake gets MR and the lightning is magical). The drake dives down low to avoid the lightning, but is fleeing now
- <Baruch> As the lightning hits, you see something like this descend from the skies at the drake: http://www.google.fi/imgres?imgurl=&imgrefurl=http%3A%2F%2Fthecryptozoologist.webs.com%2Fapps%2Fblog%2Fshow%2F17084283-the-giant-mystery-birds-thunderbird-kongamoto-rukh-and-more-part-1&h=0&w=0&sz=1&tbnid=jIcrK7SzgHmSZM&tbnh=208&tbnw=242&zoom=1&docid=He78c7bnF4JB-M&ei=QwrYUcCMEKj44QSu-YGICg&ved=0CAIQsCU
- <Baruch> (Hope that works, couldn't find any other way to do it)
- <CJR> Cool!
- <Silas_> (mmm! roast dinner)
- <Ramon> (nice!)
- <Silas_> (dragon dinner even)
- <Baruch> Something seems to be going for the drake, although it's way smaller - about the size of an eagle
- <Baruch> !roll 1d10+10 (Kokko's initiative)
- <Magic_Dice> Baruch, (Kokko's initiative): 20 :10+10
- <Baruch> (Well great :D)
- <CJR> OK, the drake will be in very severe trouble!
- <Baruch> !roll 1d10
- <Magic_Dice> Baruch: 5
- <Baruch> (Any idea what the drake's initiative is?)
- <Silas_> (My pity for the dragon seems to have faded, now I'm hoping that the birdy gets a good dinner)
- <CJR> !roll 1d10-8
- <Magic_Dice> CJR: 1 :9-8
- <CJR> !roll 1d10
- <Magic_Dice> CJR: 7
- <Baruch> (That was a 9, so no reroll - it's initiative is 1)
- <Silas_> (it wasn't a botch :) )
- <CJR> oh no ignore te second roll
- <CJR> It's initiative 1.
- <Baruch> Ok, so the bird goes first. It seems to be going for the eyes.
- <Silas_> (Vicious thing..)
- <Baruch> !roll 1d10+18
- <Magic_Dice> Baruch: 28 :10+18
- <Gustbran> (getting out my popcorn.)
- <Baruch> (haha)
- <Ramon> (botch ^^)
- <Baruch> !roll 1d10
- <Magic_Dice> Baruch: 6
- <CJR> !roll 1d10+2
- <Baruch> So 18
- <Magic_Dice> CJR: 7 :5+2
- <Baruch> Damage is +5, so 16
- <CJR> 11 points attack advantage. What's the eagles damage?
- <CJR> OK the eagle does a light wound to the drake
- <CJR> Realising pointless to try and flee it will attack back
- <CJR> !roll 1d10+1
- <Magic_Dice> CJR: 3 :2+1
- <CJR> Beat a 3!
- <Silas_> (I'll follow Gust and get some snacks, this is great)
- <Baruch> !roll 1d10+2+0
- <Magic_Dice> Baruch: 10 :8+2+0
- <Baruch> (20 that was supposed to be, so 28)
- <Momo> (Someday, Fishy, someday...)
- <CJR> OK, anyone else doing anything?
- <Baruch> The bird seems to be clinging to the drake's eyelid with its talons and not letting go
- <CJR> Roll for the attack :)
- <Baruch> You can't see very well in the gloom, but it's nothing like you've ever seen before (unless you roll magic lore;)
- <Ramon> (whats the distance? Still voice or just sight?)
- <Baruch> Baruch looks astounded but goes for the lightning again
- <Baruch> Are they in his sight still?
- <CJR> Make a Per + Awareness difficulty 15
- <CJR> Sight Range
- <Baruch> !roll 1d10+1
- <Magic_Dice> Baruch: 10 :9+1
- <CJR> Spend Confidence?
- <Baruch> I think I'll rather try to fly despite the storm
- * Silas_ makes his way through the shrubs, ducking as he hears the sound of thunder overhead
- <Ramon> (with a heavy crossbow I would aimed ans shot at the drake but I have just a light crossbolt and then sight distance is problematic)
- <Baruch> !roll 1d10+8 (Finesse for flying despite the storm)
- <Magic_Dice> Baruch, (Finesse for flying despite the storm): 12 :4+8
- <Ramon> (So I keep watch to look if there is more enemys around)
- <CJR> Baruch moves up in tot he stormy skies
- <Silas_> (Considering the battle hasn't been going on, I'll let Silas return once it's over)
- <CJR> Roll for the eagle attack
- <Baruch> !roll 1d10+18 (Kokko attacks again)
- <Magic_Dice> Baruch, (Kokko attacks again): 24 :6+18
- <CJR> (Good plan!)
- <CJR> !roll 1d10+1
- <Magic_Dice> CJR: 6 :5+1
- <CJR> So 18 + damage
- <Baruch> So 23
- <Silas_> (going on long* even)
- <CJR> The drake's eyes is plucked out by the eagle, and the huge sinous mass crashed to the ground, thrashing.
- <Ramon> (what roll so I need for Sedala and Ramon as Sedala is flying with ramon on the back)
- <Ramon> (err so=do)
- <CJR> None, you take off in to the skies as the drake falls
- <Ramon> (Sedala is still in the air!)
- <CJR> And at that moment Silas runs in to the clearing, and Edith yells "Get me out of here husband!"
- <Baruch> The bird lands next to one of the eyes and starts feasting on it, boring into the gore.
- <CJR> Okey doke, well you can see the drake fall.
- <Momo> (That's one hungry bird)
- <Baruch> It stops to stare at Baruch as he rises above the treeline
- * Ramon shout "The drake got grounded by a strange lightning bird!"
- <CJR> How is Silas looking as he returns?
- <Silas_> (time to gather vis people)
- <Momo> (Not like we are in libellus or something)
- <Ramon> (He talk from the drake!)
- <Momo> (With a bleeding leg)
- <Ramon> (As every magical beast have vis in it)
- * Silas_ looks ragged, mud is smeared from top to toe, several rifts across his hands and face but despite the rain, mud, and ocasional twich from the lightning strikes he seems almost happy
- <CJR> Silas shortsightedly stumbles in to a bush
- <Baruch> CJ: Is the drake's vis in its eyes? Kokko has a power to see that, so she knows, although Baruch doesn't
- <Ramon> (Do Sillas still hold the skull?)
- <CJR> Yes it is :)
- <Silas_> (no, only the crown that I ran off with)
- <Baruch> Ok, Baruch picks up the drake's other eye and slowly and carefully places it next to the thunderbird
- <CJR> The eagle clutches the vis :)
- * Silas_ untancles from the bush and moves/stumbles off to the rest of the group
- <CJR> All that lightning has undoubtedly attracted Libellus attention though...
- <Ramon> (Sedala can smell Vis but not in a storm at this distance ;) )
- <Baruch> Kokko proceeds to devour the eyes as fast as it can
- <CJR> OK, eaten 4 pawns of Animal vis :D
- <CJR> And Silas joins you all...
- <Baruch> Baruch tries to offer the bird his hand, but it simply cocks its head and stares at him
- <CJR> Well joins Momo and Gustbran!
- <Silas_> "I have spoken with Edith's father,.. where is.. Edith?" [looks around]
- <Baruch> After trying for a bit, Baruch returns to the others
- <CJR> Silas you can't see Edith but you can dimly through the rian see a large bonfire
- <CJR> Ramon & Sedala?
- * Gustbran points to the fire.
- * Ramon keep in the air to see if anything other get close
- * Silas_ runs off towards the fire
- <Silas_> (3 secs, I got to find the core book. Another pc from my usual so the setup is a bit different
- <Silas_> (there we go :) )
- <Ramon> (Sedala is hiden in a real cloud if I remember right?)
- <CJR> Yep.
- <Silas_> [as Silas finds the flame prison] "Edith! The God you are alright!"
- <CJR> Edith expresses her opinions in language unsuited to an IRC chat based game
- <CJR> Momo, what you up to?
- * Momo watches and ask if Silas likes "Hot woman."
- <Ramon> (Prison of Flames is a lvl 20 spelkl but I think this is even of higher level as there was no bonfire bevore)
- * Momo also like the warm fire
- <CJR> She created it with an Creo req, so 25. Penetration 13.
- <Baruch> (Affecting the fire with rego ignem would require an effect over level 25, right?)
- <Silas_> (Can you make a spell that makes the earth move by itself away from an area?.. Rego Terram (2 base, 1 touch..)
- * Gustbran searches the maga he gutted for any information/material
- <Momo> (Loot~)
- <Gustbran> (shhh!)
- <Ramon> (protect her from fire and she can get out as well)
- <CJR> She has 5 small pieces of sulphur in apouch gustbran, and thirty silver pennies
- <Baruch> (Silas: I think that should work)
- <CJR> How is the earth moving exactly?
- <Baruch> (You can move ten cubic paces of dirt with target individual, so that should suffice to make a tunnel I think)
- <Baruch> (Or maybe it has to be target part?)
- <Silas_> (was thinking skidding a bit mole-like)
- <Silas_> (fist a hole down then a tunnel under)
- <Silas_> (may be very unnatural, and addition for size..
- <CJR> Well making holes is Perdo Terram
- <Baruch> (I think size is not necessary, 10 cubic meters is quite a lot.)
- <CJR> You could dig a pit easily enough ;)
- <Baruch> (But you can move it as well, can't you)
- <Silas_> (heh my perdo and terram are both horrible though :p )
- <Baruch> (That would just leave the dirt there, but it would not be in the way)
- <Silas_> (would just make a dirt pile nearby
- <Baruch> (I think base 2, "slowly move", and +1 part, +1 touch should do the trick)
- <Baruch> (So level 4)
- <Silas_> (4 then?)
- <CJR> Yes, you can ReTe. Earth does not naturally make tunnels on it's own, so base 3. Size is fine. The tunnel will need + 1 for complexity, and it is Part +1.
- <CJR> I make it ReTe5?
- <Baruch> (Needs +1 for touch though)
- * Gustbran searches the immediate area for any signs the maga had company after pocketing the coins.
- <Silas_> The tunnel is not needed as such, it'd just have to undermine the "wall"
- <Silas_> enough to duck under)
- <Baruch> (I think making a depression in the dirt is natural, so that would be base 2 and no complexity, right?)
- <CJR> Yes, but deep enough to avoid being singed :)
- <CJR> Yes if just a gap under the edge sure.
- <Baruch> (10 cubic paces you can make it deep enough to prevent her from gettin up :D)
- <Silas_> so, 4-5 or so base?
- <Silas_> ergh, total, rather
- <Silas_> either way..
- <CJR> Go for a ReTe3 if just a depression under one edge.
- <CJR> 4 with Touch sorry
- <Silas_> !roll 1d10+10 (rego terram, shouting/waving added)
- <Magic_Dice> Silas_, (rego terram, shouting/waving added): 13 :3+10
- <CJR> a great depression sinks in to the ground by the Castle of Flames!
- <Silas_> "Can you climb under?" [to Edith]
- <CJR> Edith is already out and running
- * Silas_ follows her eample
- <CJR> OK, what now?
- <Silas_> (Example*)
- <Ramon> (Everyone colected together again so I can pick them up?)
- <CJR> Ok chaps, what is the plan now? :)
- <CJR> Yes.
- <Gustbran> (GTFO)
- <Ramon> (hear from Silas where next ^^)
- <Momo> (GTFO)
- <Momo> (Mission accomplish)
- <Baruch> "Let us leave quickly. Libellus will not take kindly to this."
- * Silas_ agrees with Gust and Momo
- <CJR> You can hear men in armour approaching through the woods
- <Gustbran> "ah, crap!"
- <Silas_> "We should head out quick"
- * Ramon get down to get the men and women on sedala
- <CJR> !roll 1d10+7
- <Magic_Dice> CJR: 9 :2+7
- * Gustbran throws the maga into her own fire!
- <Silas_> [looks to Edith] "and we need to speak once we get safe.."
- <CJR> The flames begin to lick round Lucidia, but do not consume here
- <Ramon> (and then fly up and get away from here for now till silas tell where to )
- <CJR> her.
- * Gustbran pauses for a second at that unusual thing, and then runs after the others.
- <Gustbran> (as fast as he can, all things considered)
- <CJR> Everyone leaps on Sedala. As you take off in to the air the crossbow bolts start...
- <Silas_> "Come on Gust!"
- <Ramon> "where is Momo?"
- <Momo> "Here"
- <Momo> "Right behind you"
- * Silas_ pads the saddlebag
- <CJR> !roll 1d10+7
- <Magic_Dice> CJR: 11 :4+7
- <Ramon> "Good everyone here then lets get away"
- <CJR> OK, Sedala please make a defnce roll against 11 :)
- <Ramon> (flight or ground?)
- <CJR> A crossbow bolt comes flying from the woods below, straight for the cloud!
- <Baruch> Can I try initiative to fast cast wind against that?
- <CJR> (flight)
- <CJR> Sure initiative ot beat is 2
- <CJR> roll Baruch :)
- <Ramon> !roll 1d10+4
- <Magic_Dice> Ramon: 6 :2+4
- <Baruch> !roll 1d10+4 (Init for fast cast)
- <Magic_Dice> Baruch, (Init for fast cast): 7 :3+4
- <Ramon> (Keep in mind we have storm)
- <CJR> You get initiative baruch!
- <Baruch> !roll 1d10+44
- <Magic_Dice> Baruch: 48 :4+44
- <Baruch> succeeds
- <CJR> What you doing?
- * Silas_ is clinging on to Sedala and the crown for dear life
- <Baruch> (I'm casting my mastered-for-fast-casting charge of the angry winds so that the wind blows from us in the direction of the armor sounds)
- <Baruch> (I forgot to deduct the -10 fast casting penalty from the roll, but the level is 15, so 38 still succeeds)
- <CJR> OK, ther eis a tremendous blast of wind and the crossbow bolt is blown away, and there is a lot of shouting.
- <Gustbran> (the one trick pony is getting amazingly versatile!)
- <CJR> Sedala climbs high in ot th stormy sky
- <Baruch> (It's still the same trick, though, isn't it :D)
- <CJR> YOu all get blasted by the lashing rains :)
- <Baruch> (Just a mite faster)
- <Ramon> (No we are not as Sedala protect us ^^)
- <Silas_> (Note that we aren't complaining)
- <Baruch> (She has a power like that?)
- <CJR> OK, what now? In character scene as you discuss please! (in real time)
- * Momo hate this rain
- <Baruch> "What happened with the wolf, Silas?"
- <Ramon> ( Ward against Rain, Hail and Snow Base 5, +2 Sun, Self, +2 Group, +1 Size)
- <CJR> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dNtmM8jrV8 (FX: background music :) )
- <Silas_> "I spoke with Edi- our father, and he told me what needs to be done"
- <CJR> Cast Ramon. No roll needed.
- <Baruch> "And? What needs to be done?"
- <Silas_> We need to set down somewhere quiet first, I need to speak to Edith...
- <Silas_> ""
- <Ramon> (its a 0 might power of here so she put it up already)
- <CJR> (yep)
- <Silas_> "The matter is... best kept to as few as at all possible.."
- <Baruch> "I see. Better get away from Libellus first, however."
- <Silas_> "yes!"
- * Baruch looks concerned. Throws a worried, unnoticeable glance at Gustbran.
- * Gustbran notices.
- <Baruch> (Heh, roll perception+awareness, maybe?)
- <Baruch> (Or folk ken)
- <Momo> "Fly harder, Sedala." Momo pat Sedala. Pat pat pat pat pat pat.
- <Ramon> "Where should we head to?"
- <CJR> (perception + folk ken?)
- <Silas_> "Go north for now, anywhere but here is fine!"
- <Baruch> !roll 1d10+1 (Guile for Baruch)
- <Magic_Dice> Baruch, (Guile for Baruch): 2 :1+1

- <Baruch> !roll 1d10+1 (Guile for Baruch)
- <Magic_Dice> Baruch, (Guile for Baruch): 7 :6+1
- <CJR> OK you fly north towards Bury...
- <Baruch> (Baruch gets 13 on the guile roll - he's all discrete-like:)
- <Gustbran> "!roll 1d10-1 (per+folk ken untrained)
- <Ramon> "Wasn't that the burned down city?)
- <Gustbran> !Roll 1d10-1
- <Magic_Dice> Gustbran: 7 :8-1
- <Silas_> (no, that was further south)
- <Baruch> You don't notice a tihng ;)
- <CJR> (no that's Sudbury to the south. Bury is where the abbey is...)
- <Ramon> !roll 1d10+3
- <Magic_Dice> Ramon: 6 :3+3
- <Silas_> (lol)
- <Gustbran> (guess I don't notice, stupid double)
- <Baruch> Can everyone roll perception +awareness, please?
- <CJR> You can see the tower of Bury Cathedral through the storm
- <CJR> Sorry the Abbey Church!
- <Ramon> (Ok then back to where we left the knight)
- * Ramon land somewhere nearby where no one can spot us
- <Baruch> !roll 1d10+5 (Hidin')

- <Momo> !roll 1d10+4 (noise)
- <Magic_Dice> Momo, (noise): 11 :7+4
- <CJR> You land in a small wood outside of Bury town. The walls are in sight, just ten minutes walk away
- <Ramon> "So here we are now tell us what is to to do to stop the end of the world!"
- <Baruch> Momo spots the thunderbrid from a while back flying a good distance behind and above Sedala. When we land, it stays circling above.
- <Momo> (It wants to eat Sedala)
- <CJR> http://www.cjromer.com/rpg/ars/abbey.jpg
- <Silas_> "I.. can't, but it is not difficult now, I think"
- <CJR> http://www.cjromer.com/rpg/ars/Bury1210.jpg
- <Momo> "The bird is above us"
- <Momo> "Must be still hungry"
- <Ramon> (Sedala will see here also unless she is also invisible to hearing)
- <Silas_> "Maybe it is a spy?"
- <Baruch> Momo, it's at once both natural predator and prey to a cat, conflicting emotions! ;)
- <Silas_> "anyway.."
- <Baruch> "I... I think it's interested in me. I felt a connection there, never felt anything quite like it before."
- <Silas_> "Edith, I must speak to you, in private.. on how to proceed"
- <Momo> "Your connection to it's stomach?"
- <Ramon> (We are probably out of the storm by now?)
- * Silas_ dismounts and offers her a hand
- <Baruch> "I hope you understand the gravity of the task we have, Silas."
- * Baruch remains on Sedala
- <Silas_> "I do! You will have to trust me on this"
- <Silas_> "I am sworn to secrecy though.."
- <Momo> "Look what secrecy got us into"
- * Gustbran dismounts and gets slightly angry!
- * Silas_ blinks
- <Silas_> "I.."
- * Silas_ shakes his head
- <Silas_> "The fewer people who know, the better.."
- <Gustbran> (though not at silas)
- <Momo> "Sure, sure, is not like we will have to do this all over again when someone dig the crown out of the earth again."
- <Baruch> "Is something the matter, Gustbran?"
- <Momo> "Digging the crown out of the earth, oh boy, how easy is that?"
- * Silas_ nods at Momo
- <Silas_> "Yes..."
- <Gustbran> "I'm concerned about the fact that that maga knew exactly where Edith was...."
- <Momo> "The system is faulted."
- <Ramon> "OK Silas if you think you have to do it alone so be it."
- <Baruch> "I suspect the guardian has be the one to dig it up. Whoever that will be, now."
- <CJR> Edith has walked off to stand under a tree, and is looking at Silas. She seems put out.
- <Silas_> "I am not going to argue with you Momo. - Edith?" [Holds out his hand, as if asking her to follow]
- <Ramon> "Gustbran wasn't there something that you haved to go to a specivic location to become a Kight?"
- <Baruch> "Hopefully someone reliable."
- <Gustbran> "I didn't have much of a choice, given the circumstances, I think she would have killed me if I didn't first, but...."
- * Silas_ goes to meet Edith
- <Gustbran> (I've completely forgotten where that was, though.)
- <CJR> Edith looks at Silas. "Well while you were off running around with the wolf I was nearly cooked! A fine start to a marriage!"
- <Baruch> "You were correct to attack her, sadly. She made an unsuccesful attempt to slay us - I heard her weaving magic."
- <CJR> Edith laughs
- <CJR> Silas, what you asking Edith?
- <Silas_> (started a new tab, unless people want to lsten in)
- <Silas_> listen*
- <Baruch> (I would like to, but that would be a code breach :P)
- <Silas_> (in which case we can have it here ^^ )
- <Momo> "Maybe the ritual would sterilize him." Momo yell over the walking away silas
- <Baruch> (I have enough of those to deal with already ;D)
- * Silas_ makes a gesture at the cat before returning to Edith
- <Momo> "Guess that's not it."
- * Ramon wisper to Momo "or he will become the new ghost to guard the crown!"
- <Momo> "He's not gonna be a fine ghost."
- <Momo> "Edith would do a better job."
- <Momo> "Boy, Ghost Edith."
- <Momo> "Can you imagine the wrath beyond the grave."
- <Momo> "While Ghost Silas... Probably get blow away by the wind."
- <Baruch> "It's a patrilinear prophesy, remember. Those things tend to be."
- <Momo> "Whoever crafted this system clearly didn't do a perfect job."
- <Ramon> "Now nothing on this world is perfect except god"
- <Momo> "God make this as I recall."
- <Baruch> "Mysterious ways and all that."
- <CJR> Baruch, can I have a Per + Awareness from you and Ramon and Momo
- <CJR> Gustbran, you too s0rry
- <Momo> !roll 1d10+4 (noise)
- <Magic_Dice> Momo, (noise): 6 :2+4

- <Magic_Dice> Ramon, (+1 if Body Language): 4 :2+2

- <Magic_Dice> Baruch: 8
- <Baruch> (Heh, I'm getting lots of 10s as well)
- <Gustbran> "Hey! isn't that the flying boat!????"
- * Gustbran points toward it.
- <Baruch> "What in the name of Bonisagus is this!"
- <CJR> You all see it, very high, and criss crossing the sky...
- <Momo> "Reinforcement?"
- <Baruch> (South is where we came frmo, right?)
- <Silas_> (it is)
- <CJR> yep.
- <Baruch> I'll take to the skies and fly toward it
- <Silas_> "worrying.."
- <CJR> OK, are oyu being stealthy? There are a few little white clouds to hid ein but not much else
- <Silas_> "Edith, can you show Ramon the way to Haegisdum forest? - we should probably leave soon"
- <Baruch> I'll make me a personal cloud first with creo(rego)auram
- <CJR> OK yo can do that without a roll.
- <Baruch> Yes
- <Baruch> And I'll try to be stealthy about it as well, see who's in the boat
- <CJR> As you approach the boat, you see Antonius and four crossbow armed grogs, staring intently at the ground...
- <Baruch> Uh oh
- <Gustbran> (not good.)
- <CJR> make a Int + Stealth roll
- <CJR> brb
- <Momo> (I should had send him to twlight :d)

- <Magic_Dice> Ramon, (Area Lore Europe if I heared about this forest): 9 :7+2
- * Silas_ ensures the crown is safely tugged into the saddlebag
- <CJR> Ramon, you know nothing about the wood
- <CJR> Right Silas. Antonius gave you a couple of pretty rings. Did you bring them? You used the rings abbott Samson gave you in the end as I recall?
- <CJR> This is important now :)
- <CJR> Baruch, I'll roll to see if you are noticed (well your cloud)
- <CJR> !roll 1d10+3
- <Magic_Dice> CJR: 5 :2+3
- <Silas_> (I thought that he was going to have some made, not that hegae us - but if he did give me then yes, I'd have brought them)
- <Silas_> (no time to get things in order if I recall)
- <Silas_> (when we left)
- <CJR> Nope, the boat has not notice3d Baruch yet.
- <Gustbran> (phew)
- <Silas_> (not that he gave us (any)* rather)
- <CJR> OK, the boat turns and moves swiftly towards the wood in which Sedal and athe others are. Baruch, you see Antonius is concentrating on a spell AND flying the boat
- <Baruch> Can I tell what spell it is?
- <Gustbran> (fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!)
- <CJR> You are not sure. If you had seen it cast maybe...
- <Momo> (tracking our ring spell)
- <CJR> Antonius and the flying boat are circling now, close by, clearly looking for something.
- <Silas_> (seems a reasonable guess :p )
- <Baruch> I'll cast wizard's sidestep on myself
- <CJR> OK, what you gonna do?
- <CJR> Okey doke :)
- * Silas_ still patiently waits for Baruch down below
- <Momo> (I swear if you got into twlight)
- <Baruch> !roll 1d10+16

- <Baruch> I shout "Antonius! A pleasant surprise, to be sure."
- <CJR> !roll 1d10+5
- <Magic_Dice> CJR: 13 :8+5
- * Gustbran waves at the boat, not realizing the situation, while yelling at them
- <CJR> Antonius drops his spell, and looks across!
- <Momo> "yay, reinforcement"
- <CJR> Ah there you are, there you are! You have recovered the crown for me i understand?
- * Silas_ looks less pleased
- <CJR> H ethen hears Gustbran shouting down below.
- <Baruch> "We did even better: We are performing the ritual to remedy the situation as we speak."
- * Silas_ moves closer to Edith, taking her hand
- <CJR> "That won't be necessary. I have a new plan!"
- * Baruch flies next to them
- <CJR> "just bring me the crown!"
- <Baruch> "Splendid. Which plan would that be?"
- <Baruch> "We have reburied the crown, as necessary to complete the ritual."
- <Ramon> (lol big liar ^^)
- <CJR> "I intend to use the crown to defeat the French, and then control the dragons."
- <Silas_> (guile roll? ^^ )
- <Baruch> (Wait what. Isn't that what we did?)
- <CJR> !roll 1d10+1 Per + Guile for Antonius
- <Magic_Dice> CJR, Per + Guile for Antonius: 6 :5+1
- <Silas_> (we haven't buried it yet)
- <Baruch> (Correct me, please, I'm not truing to lie)
- <Silas_> (Silas returned with the crown)
- <Momo> (I LIKE HIS PLAN)
- <Baruch> (Ohshit, scratch that. I thought Silas had buried it)
- <Ramon> (No thats what we plan to do when we are at the forest ^^)
- <CJR> "So, you have the crown?" says Antonius to Baruch.
- <Baruch> "Control the dragons? That seems ... rather extreme, does it not?"
- <Momo> (No is not. No is not)
- <CJR> "not at all. It is our destiny, that si now clear to me!"
- <CJR> He begin to descend towards the others.
- <Silas_> (oh lord, they are all power hungry :p )
- <Baruch> Baruch descends with them, looking worried
- <Baruch> "But... surely, those beasts will wreac havoc and destruction!"
- <CJR> Antonius leaps from the baot with his grogs as he lands, and marches triumphantly towards you all.
- <CJR> "havoc and destruction, but only at our behest!" Antonius beams :D
- <Ramon> (He got us 1 day to early)
- * Baruch looks even more worried
- <Momo> (He lost patient when he get naked)
- <Silas_> (must have heard from the gossip maybe hehe)
- <CJR> As Antonius arrives in th clearing he has one grog standing in front of him, and three discretely place themesleves in front of Gustbran.
- <Silas_> (ah true..)
- <Ramon> (if Silas would have directed us direct to the forest the crown also wouldnt any more with us but thats the price SIlas now have to pay for not trusting us)
- <Silas_> (indeed Ramon hehe)
- <Momo> (Not listening to momo too)
- <CJR> Edith snarls at Ramon "he did not know till I told him where it was!"
- <CJR> Edith is not in a good mood now.
- <CJR> Antonius looks cheerful.
- <Silas_> (how much did the ones on the ground hear?)
- <CJR> "Gustbran, you appear injured?" He asks with genuine concern.
- <Ramon> (huh it wasn't talk it was OOC)
- <CJR> (all of it - they were shouting back and forth!)
- <CJR> (oh sorry did not realise)
- <Gustbran> "A little, sir, a mishap concerning a river and a long fall."
- * Silas_ goes forward
- <CJR> "we will soon heal you Gustbran, soon heal you"
- <CJR> "Ah Silas.... the crown please!"
- <Silas_> "Ah"
- <Silas_> "but shouldn't we bury it? - save the world the grief of the dragons"
- <CJR> EDith is glaring and edging round
- <Baruch> "Antonius seeks to bind the dragons to his will." *baruch looks miserable*
- <Momo> "What an excellence plan!"
- <Ramon> (Now a powerfull Faerie would be great who switch the crown with a glamour ^^)
- <CJR> "that will not save anyone. We shall use the dragons - for i have found the key within the mysteries of our City!"
- * Gustbran can barely hold back his surprise!
- <Momo> "Yes, yes, the old system is flawed."
- <Silas_> "Did you not say that the city would be doomed if the crown was not returned?"
- * Silas_ sounds a bit pleading
- <CJR> Antonius laughs, so I thought, so I thought. It will fly no more, but will take on it's true glory. You see the city s but a tiny part, one level, of what it once was!
- <Momo> (ahhhh the revealation)
- <Ramon> "Didn't the prophecy I heared tell from the end of the WOrld when the dragons aweak?"
- * Silas_ slowly realizes
- <CJR> The city was once but the top of a tower!
- <Silas_> "The tower of babylon.."
- * Baruch looks flabbergasted, and worried
- <CJR> And all its folk, indeed all the people of the World, spoke one magical language!
- * Ramon look at Antonius in disbelive
- * Gustbran instantly doesn't like the sound of this.
- <CJR> Yes. Our city is all that remains, held among the clouds, of the Tower of Babel!
- <Momo> "Such revelation!"
- * Silas_ looks to the saddlebag
- <CJR> And when the dragons awake, the tower will be rebuilt.
- <Baruch> "I... and the crown will help restore this?"
- * Silas_ then returns to Antonius
- <Momo> "We clearly are part of a great destiny!"
- <CJR> They Key was in the Apocryphal Book of Baruch! :D
- <Momo> (Ehh, baruch?)
- <Silas_> "How will you control the dragons then?.."
- <CJR> "yes dear Cat. It is our destiny to rule to world!"
- <Ramon> (there was a Baruch bevore our one ^^)
- <Momo> "Yeeeesss!"
- <CJR> "I will take this Crown, and use it to defeat the French! Then, and here is the glorius part, we need do nothing. We will fly to Mesoptamia, and there the tower will arise!"
- <Momo> (This goes well with my other plot, so I am all for it~)
- <Baruch> "Yes. Baruch ben Neriah. My namesake."
- * Silas_ swallows hard
- <CJR> "We must never, ever however, allow the crown to be reburied. That si one of the 12 wards that bind us."
- <CJR> Antonius laughs again, and hisses just a little.
- <CJR> like a serpent.
- <Silas_> "This may be what the archmagus from Libellus attempts as well.."
- <Silas_> "he even has the original crown"
- <CJR> Per + Folk Ken...
- <Momo> "That explain everything."
- <Gustbran> (demonic possession!!!!)

- <CJR> OK< Ramon did not make th roll then, but can still suspect.
- <CJR> "Glorius things dear Momo, glorious things!"
- <Momo> "Strange, I didn't recall introducing myself to you."
- <Baruch> CJ, does Kokko notice anything? She's flying above, and has her might-noticing power on.
- <Silas_> "Master, if we leave the Archmagus of Libellus with his crown, he might usurp our place in the new order. He may even control the dragons already"
- <CJR> No Faeries. :)
- <CJR> No. We shall create the New World Order, and he shall serve us!
- <Baruch> She has it for magical creatures, not faeries.
- <CJR> Ah, not magical either. )

- <CJR> OK, action please. What si everyone doing?
- <Silas_> (The act of convincing Antonius to go after Libellus would be what? Guile, charm? something else?)
- <Baruch> (Did I get anything for the 11 from clear thinker)
- * Momo talking to Antonious to distract and buy time for everyone
- <Ramon> (Silas you saw my wisper to you)
- <CJR> You are resisiting his power. :) That has bought you a round.

- <Silas_> "We are hunted as we speak"
- <Silas_> (sorry, what roll is that?)
- <Ramon> "I agree with Silas here that it would be good to eliminate the holder of the orginal crown as it could become the 12. seal again or did I miss here something"
- <Baruch> "This is not Antonius, or else he has been possessed. We must subdue these people." /fast casts wind at them, tries not to hit others

- <CJR> Ouch! OK, well that hits Antonius and his grog who freeze for a wound

- <CJR> Oooh can Momo spend 2? If Self Confident eh can, and it misses!
- <Momo> don't have self confident
- <Baruch> 8 levels, then. Does he have soak?

- <Magic_Dice> Gustbran, (pre+leadership. wound-3 penalty included): 12 :9+3
- <Ramon> (I needed the extra round for grabing shield and spear from Sedala as Ramon is usualy not combat ready like Gust)
- <Gustbran> "Stop this at once!" to the grogs.
- <CJR> The grogs stop and stare at Gustbran.
- <CJR> OK, back to normal time. Antonius has not got up yet.
- <Gustbran> (yay, I didn't kill anyone this time!)
- <Silas_> (the grogs aren't continueing?)

- <Ramon> (You want to kill the cat?)
- <Silas_> (oh Gust..., I worry some time...)
- <Gustbran> (ah, well, it was worth a shot.)
- <CJR> Gutsbran is covered in blood of the King of Cats
- <CJR> The grogs rush to subdue Antonius.
- <Gustbran> (well, it wasn't a botch, at least)
- <CJR> This gives you a break for a quick action!
- <Silas_> (What does work against possession? vis spells or..?)
- <CJR> Demon's Eternal Oblivion?
- <Ramon> (We dont have our master of this spell with us :( )
- <Baruch> Says quietly to the others
- <Momo> (Yeah, I can regenerate my body instantly once you stop watching me. As suitable for the story)
- <Baruch> "Let us flee. Antonius - or whatever possesses him - may have powers we do not know."
- <Gustbran> (Bring him to aiden. If oblivion won't work I've got ward against demons.)
- <Silas_> "Agreed! We can sort it out later!"

- <CJR> (just grabbing a drink)
- <Ramon> (yes)
- <Baruch> !roll 1d10+41 (Foggyfog still where Antonius was)
- <Magic_Dice> Baruch, (Foggyfog still where Antonius was): 49 :8+41

- <Ramon> (Ohh and a other cloud get North east for some time ^^)
- * Momo struggle in fake pain as Gustbran squeeze more blood out of it
- <Baruch> (The fog I created stays behind, it's just something to prevent Sight range spells on us)
- <Ramon> (the second imaginem cloud is to confuse ^^)
- <Ramon> (Activated around the same time as your fog)
- <Ramon> (ups sratch that is touch only)
- <Baruch> (I'll need a 5-10min break within 15min or so, but can go on after that)
- <CJR> ***Twenty muinutes later, Haegisdun Wood***
- <CJR> (I need to go to work at 4 :()
- <Baruch> (OK)
- <Silas_> (ok)
- <Gustbran> (ok)
- <Silas_> (best rush it a bit then..)
- <Ramon> (OK se we just make advancement and againg rolls afterwards)
- <CJR> As sedala lands in the wood you all scramble off. It resonates a deep, spiritual peace. Ther eis no sign of antonius, and you notice Edith is still clutching the tiller of the flying boat.
- <CJR> As you all scramble down, Edith appears, for once, happy.
- * Momo is stabilized.
- <CJR> SIlas and i must go alone. The rest of you defend the wood! Antonius will surely follow!
- <CJR> OK what you all doing?
- * Silas_ heads into the wood with Edith
- <Ramon> "SO Silas its your turn I think"
- * Ramon stays with Sedala
- * Momo mumble about how Gustbran almost chock a cat
- * Silas_ retuns quickly to get the crown before running back to Edith
- <CJR> Silas, suddenly the wood changes, and you realise you have entered a regio. Finally you come to a low mound of earth, a ting grave. This is the place says Edith.
- * Silas_ "Forgot the crown!" he excuses
- <CJR> "You know what to do?"
- <Silas_> "I know what to do"
- <CJR> Edith taps her forhead and rolls her eyes despaitringly
- <Momo> "This will end well." Momo sits up
- <CJR> Then do it, numbskull! says edith affectionately
- <CJR> The birds stop singing. the wind drops. Everything is suddenly very, very still.
- <CJR> Silas?
- * Silas_ folds his hands and calls to the saints
- <Baruch> I'll keep an eye on the sky in case Antonius comes calling again
- <CJR> Ther eis a tremendously sweet perfulme, and St. Edmund appears in a vision, glowing with unnatural light and colour. Everything else pales besides his glory
- <Silas_> ""Saint Edmund, please release the crowns former guardian, I shall take on the duties, an pass on the duty to my son"
- <CJR> "You swear Silas to save my country, and never harm my countrymen, though you are a foreigner?"
- <Silas_> "I swear to serve the country, and never harm any of your countrymen"
- * Silas_ quiets down, thinking on the sadness of the diseased, a few tears falls from his eyes
- <CJR> The siant makes a gesture, and a vision of apoor woman burying her little dead child swims in to view.
- <CJR> You understand?
- <CJR> CAn you cry at will? Or is SIlas really effected?
- <Momo> (Need my claw to poke you a few holes?)
- <Silas_> (Silas is a softy, he'd likely cry for the fallen)
- <CJR> Edith meanwhile is scraping a hole using the tiller as a spade. She does not pay much attentio to Edmund
- <CJR> Maybe she does not see him?
- <CJR> The Saint points at the hole. Then bury the Crown, and I caapr you as Guardian!
- * Silas_ nods to Edmond
- <CJR> There is a smell of violets
- * Silas_ moves to place to crown in the hole
- <Momo> "Dig deeper."
- <Baruch> (You're not there :D)
- * Momo whisper from above
- <CJR> http://soundfxnow.com/sound-fx/heavenly-choir/
- * Silas_ aids Edith placing on top of it
- <Baruch> (I have to go afk for about 5-10 min now, I'll be back in a bit)
- <CJR> You bury the Crown.
- <Silas_> (ah! sadly I've no speakers or headset handy)
- <CJR> "Let go" says Eith. She tkes Silas by the hand, kisses him, and tried to lead him back to the others.
- <Momo> (Is what you would imagine)
- * Silas_ lets Edith lead him back
- <CJR> Silas and Edith return, and embrace.
- <CJR> and on that note, the story ends.
- <Silas_> (hehe yeah, the heavenly-choir is a bit descriptive :)
- <Ramon> Sedala spot the Thunderbird again and is a bit nervouse about it

- <Silas_> (Makes you wonder if there is a staircase down to the lower layer somewhere - or where the lower layer should be
- <Ramon> You have to colect it but unless it special played its automatic
- <Momo> (We will have to open THAT DOOR)
- <CJR> More will become clear when Calpurnia gets back I think.
- <Momo> (Or just blow holes)
