  1. [2012-12-11 18:12:53] <Falconis> Grail session logging start
  2. [2012-12-11 18:13:18] <Falconis> WHEN WE LAST SAW OUR HERO
  3. [2012-12-11 18:13:42] <Falconis> he did some stuff for a mage, met some guys and had a pretty OK day overall
  4. [2012-12-11 18:14:05] <Ingenious_Flake> [where's the double-entendre intro?]
  5. [2012-12-11 18:14:13] <Falconis> (lazy)
  6. [2012-12-11 18:14:20] <Falconis> morning comes early in the waking room, as always
  7. [2012-12-11 18:14:37] <Falconis> the first rays of sunshine picked up and magnified by the giant panes of glass
  8. [2012-12-11 18:14:38] <Grail> I'll find a brothel later, then you can have all the double entendre you want
  9. [2012-12-11 18:15:13] <Falconis> The golden light runs like a syrup over your face, Phineas clears his throat
  10. [2012-12-11 18:15:15] <Falconis> >_
  11. [2012-12-11 18:15:21] <Grail> Hadrian puts a blanket between himself and the sun, trying to ward off its rays
  12. [2012-12-11 18:15:50] <Grail> "Phineas, I'll take breakfast this morning."
  13. [2012-12-11 18:16:49] <Falconis> The blanket proves an excellent defense, [Phineas]"Anything special master Swiess?"
  14. [2012-12-11 18:17:10] <Grail> "Not today."
  15. [2012-12-11 18:18:03] <Ingenious_Flake> You can shit money and you dont wanna eat like a duke
  16. [2012-12-11 18:18:07] <Falconis> With a whip of clothing and the clopping of feet, Phineas exits the room, followed by the door gliding shut
  17. [2012-12-11 18:18:17] <Falconis> >_
  18. [2012-12-11 18:20:57] <Grail> Hadrian slinks out of bed and does the morning routine
  19. [2012-12-11 18:21:38] <Falconis> which entails...
  20. [2012-12-11 18:22:59] <Grail> Some form of hygiene, taking a dump and/or piss, and dressing for the day.
  21. [2012-12-11 18:23:18] <Falconis> kay
  22. [2012-12-11 18:23:43] <Falconis> You do this, the rising sun ticking off time outside your window
  23. [2012-12-11 18:24:48] <Falconis> as your routine nears it's end, you catch a wiff of the enticing smell of fresh bread
  24. [2012-12-11 18:24:53] <Falconis> >_
  25. [2012-12-11 18:25:35] <Grail> Follow the nose
  26. [2012-12-11 18:25:40] <Grail> That's probably breakfast
  27. [2012-12-11 18:29:23] <Falconis> You have never been called a bloodhound, but this smell is easy enough. Your nose leads you downstairs and through a back door to the rear gardens, where you see your cousin Celias making quick work of a plate of meaty sausages and soft looking rolls. A motley crew of fresh vegetables accompanying. A basket sits in the middle of the richly decorated table piled to the brim with fresh bread,...
  28. [2012-12-11 18:29:23] <Falconis> ...a basket of fruits beside it.
  29. [2012-12-11 18:30:01] <Falconis> Phineas stands to one side, waiting it seems. He looks up at you as you arrive, a single eyebrow quirked in question.
  30. [2012-12-11 18:30:58] <Grail> What a fucking spread
  31. [2012-12-11 18:31:19] <Grail> Hadrian grabs a seat close to that fruit basket and eats
  32. [2012-12-11 18:31:33] <Grail> "Morning cousin."
  33. [2012-12-11 18:32:31] <Falconis> Celias takes a break from stuffing his face to nod at you
  34. [2012-12-11 18:33:00] <Falconis> after a short swallow [Celias]"Ey, Haddy. You're up early."
  35. [2012-12-11 18:34:26] <Falconis> [Celias]"I bet you haven't heard the news yet."
  36. [2012-12-11 18:34:45] <Grail> "No, what news?" Hadrian grabs an orange.
  37. [2012-12-11 18:35:05] <Falconis> it is very orangy
  38. [2012-12-11 18:36:53] <Falconis> Celias wipes his mouth with a bit of cloth and then breaks out in a grin [Celias]"So a little birdy told me that an imperial ship stopped here the other night, chasin some famous thief or whatever"
  39. [2012-12-11 18:37:32] <Grail> Nods at the words at continues the oranging, the orangegeddon, the orangpocalpys.
  40. [2012-12-11 18:37:46] <Falconis> [Celias]"Their mages or whatever say he just made a quick stop and head'id on up north yea?"
  41. [2012-12-11 18:38:37] <Falconis> "Then bam, a bunch o dosh goes missin from old Cobblers Safe, and who knows what else. Looks like he gave em the slip then ey?"
  42. [2012-12-11 18:39:02] <Falconis> He bites into a bread roll
  43. [2012-12-11 18:39:40] <Grail> "Damn. So they're thinking he's still in town?"
  44. [2012-12-11 18:40:02] <Falconis> "Old Cobbler was throwin a fit, the C's and S's are worried bout their gold, they call back the ship to tell em about it"
  45. [2012-12-11 18:40:25] <Falconis> "You bet your arse they do, tightening up like and old womans purse they are"
  46. [2012-12-11 18:42:09] <Falconis> "Now of course the cap'n is mighty pissed to be given the slip, heard he's a real uptight one that, solid steel rod up his crack if you catch my drift. Ship came in this morning, C's and S's lettin em search the place"
  47. [2012-12-11 18:42:20] <Falconis> "it's gonna be real rough on Phil for a few days
  48. [2012-12-11 18:42:59] <Falconis> He takes his half finished roll and slathers it in mango marmalade
  49. [2012-12-11 18:43:19] <Grail> "He's tough, money will be tight, but he's got an est egg squared away doesn't he?"
  50. [2012-12-11 18:43:27] <Falconis> Celias chucked
  51. [2012-12-11 18:43:32] <Falconis> chuckles*
  52. [2012-12-11 18:43:44] <Grail> Hadrian shrugs "We going to have to worry about them turning your place upside down?"
  53. [2012-12-11 18:43:52] <Falconis> [Celias]"Oh im sure he can take care of himself, but I don't know about his lads"
  54. [2012-12-11 18:44:05] <Falconis> Celias grins even more
  55. [2012-12-11 18:44:55] <Falconis> [Celias]"They can't touch me Haddy, this land here is mine, complete. Those bluebloods don't have the authority to let them search me"
  56. [2012-12-11 18:45:08] <Falconis> He swallows the roll whole
  57. [2012-12-11 18:45:59] <Falconis> [Celias]"Course, that won't sit right with the imperials, and I can't have them taking an interest in me, but It will buy me enough time to cover up some things"
  58. [2012-12-11 18:46:26] <Grail> Hadrian smiles "Hah, you always were thorough."
  59. [2012-12-11 18:47:12] <Falconis> He winks, "That's why I am where I am Haddy"
  60. [2012-12-11 18:48:02] <Grail> Ugh the cheesy wink
  61. [2012-12-11 18:48:31] <Falconis> Celias is all about cheese
  62. [2012-12-11 18:48:35] <Falconis> and mango marmalade
  63. [2012-12-11 18:49:28] <Falconis> [Celias]"So, I suppose this doesn't mean anything untoward to your own business"
  64. [2012-12-11 18:51:16] <Grail> "Hrm, me? I should be fine. I suppose I should be looking to hide a couple possessions of mine to avoid undue interest, you know, old gear and such. I don't want them getting the wrong ideas, you know?"
  65. [2012-12-11 18:53:04] <Falconis> He nods as he takes up a fluted glass of sparkling pink something
  66. [2012-12-11 18:53:11] <Falconis> downing it in one go
  67. [2012-12-11 18:54:43] <Grail> Hadrian is eating some grapes
  68. [2012-12-11 18:55:02] <Falconis> they are grapy
  69. [2012-12-11 18:55:02] <Grail> And by some I mean he's practically downed three whole vines
  70. [2012-12-11 18:56:24] <Falconis> Celias sets the glass down softly and rises to his feet, dabbing at his lips with a fresh cloth. He steps out from the table and holds out his hands as Phineas moves in to straighten his clothes
  71. [2012-12-11 18:56:40] <Grail> "I suppose I better get on to my business too."
  72. [2012-12-11 18:57:01] <Falconis> [Celias]"Well cousin, sorry to cut it short, but I best be getting to those matters before the golden goons come busting down my door"
  73. [2012-12-11 18:57:07] <Falconis> "Good luck with it"
  74. [2012-12-11 18:57:51] <Grail> Hadrian heads out the door
  75. [2012-12-11 18:58:09] <Falconis> Phineas throws a coat over his shoulders and then walks ahead of him as they leave, opening the main door and then dragging it shut as they both go through
  76. [2012-12-11 18:58:13] <Falconis> you head out the door
  77. [2012-12-11 18:58:17] <Grail> He's got a few thousand in gold on hand-it's time to launder this money
  78. [2012-12-11 18:58:49] <Grail> First he's getting a cart and a horse, all his, no rentals this time.
  79. [2012-12-11 18:59:04] <Grail> Need to funnel that cash into goods
  80. [2012-12-11 18:59:05] <Falconis> I..don't remember how much that cost >_>
  81. [2012-12-11 18:59:07] <Falconis> sec
  82. [2012-12-11 18:59:48] <Falconis> dammit
  83. [2012-12-11 19:00:24] <Falconis> anyway, you can afford it, I'll get you that price later
  84. [2012-12-11 19:00:36] <Grail> Sweet
  85. [2012-12-11 19:00:48] <Grail> I shall name you Hubert, Hubert the horse
  86. [2012-12-11 19:01:04] <Falconis> the chestnut horse has no opinions on his name
  87. [2012-12-11 19:01:13] <Grail> Good, it better not
  88. [2012-12-11 19:01:46] <Grail> Hadrian is going to go visit the mage
  89. [2012-12-11 19:01:56] <Falconis> TO THE ANTIQUE SHOP
  90. [2012-12-11 19:02:03] <Grail> ONWARD HUBERT
  91. [2012-12-11 19:02:05] <Grail> TO GLORY
  92. [2012-12-11 19:02:31] <Falconis> It's still reasonably early in the day when you get there. The open sign on the door shows promise though
  93. [2012-12-11 19:02:39] <Falconis> You go in
  94. [2012-12-11 19:02:44] <Falconis> everything is as it was
  95. [2012-12-11 19:03:16] <Falconis> the old man sits behind the counter, fiddling, the jar with the words FIRE painted on it on the counter, dusty antiques all around
  96. [2012-12-11 19:03:33] <Grail> "Morning."
  97. [2012-12-11 19:04:25] <Falconis> he grumbles out an affirmation
  98. [2012-12-11 19:05:00] <Grail> "I'm have your clock if you're done with the hourglass."
  99. [2012-12-11 19:06:19] <Falconis> He sets down his tools and raises his head [old]"Of course"
  100. [2012-12-11 19:06:25] <Falconis> he brings out the hourglass
  101. [2012-12-11 19:07:21] <Falconis> [old]"Time not enough to complete study, but clock will fix. Translocation; Temporal instability"
  102. [2012-12-11 19:07:27] <Falconis> he holds out the hourglass
  103. [2012-12-11 19:08:19] <Grail> Hadrian takes the hourglass and returns the clock to the old man
  104. [2012-12-11 19:08:34] <Grail> "What did you find out about it?"
  105. [2012-12-11 19:08:41] <Falconis> The old man takes the small clock and sets it on the table.
  106. [2012-12-11 19:09:16] <Falconis> His brows knot "I'm sure I told you. Yes, yes I did."
  107. [2012-12-11 19:10:40] <Falconis> "Translocation, Temporal instability" he looks at you as if you are in interesting experiment
  108. [2012-12-11 19:11:28] <Grail> "Oh, okay. I got it I think. I'm just going to look around the shop for a bit."
  109. [2012-12-11 19:11:36] <Falconis> "Visual indicator of instability duration, must attune first"
  110. [2012-12-11 19:11:42] <Falconis> he nods and goes back to work
  111. [2012-12-11 19:11:57] <Falconis> quietly
  112. [2012-12-11 19:12:52] <Grail> Hadrian is going to shop around again
  113. [2012-12-11 19:13:44] <Grail> Anything in the way of keys?
  114. [2012-12-11 19:13:45] <Falconis> the shop is as it was, various old looking things seemingly unmoved for ages. little circles of no dust are where the items you took used to be
  115. [2012-12-11 19:14:01] <Falconis> keys? why yes, yes indeed
  116. [2012-12-11 19:14:07] <Falconis> strange thing to look for
  117. [2012-12-11 19:14:49] <Grail> Anything seem magically curious? Hadrian is acquiring something of a taste for this stuff.
  118. [2012-12-11 19:15:02] <Falconis> There are around half dozen assorted keys in a small round pan. Iron, gold, fiddly bits.
  119. [2012-12-11 19:15:38] <Falconis> the most interesting of the lot visually is a delicate looking golden key with tons of little swirls of metal around it
  120. [2012-12-11 19:15:50] <Falconis> it has three rubies set in the tiny turning bit
  121. [2012-12-11 19:16:33] <Grail> Fancy
  122. [2012-12-11 19:16:40] <Falconis> indeed
  123. [2012-12-11 19:16:42] <Grail> Hadrian feels it over
  124. [2012-12-11 19:17:00] <Grail> "Do you have a price for this key?"
  125. [2012-12-11 19:17:13] <Falconis> "300" he says without looking up
  126. [2012-12-11 19:17:45] <Grail> Huh
  127. [2012-12-11 19:17:49] <Grail> Hadrian brings it over
  128. [2012-12-11 19:17:55] <Grail> Pays the man
  129. [2012-12-11 19:18:06] <Falconis> jingle jingle jangle
  130. [2012-12-11 19:18:13] <Falconis> 300 gold to the old man
  131. [2012-12-11 19:18:21] <Grail> "Any idea what it opens?"
  132. [2012-12-11 19:18:24] <Falconis> one key to you
  133. [2012-12-11 19:18:57] <Falconis> He looks up from his work on the clock for a moment to look at it
  134. [2012-12-11 19:19:08] <Falconis> [old]"...no, I don't believe I do"
  135. [2012-12-11 19:19:24] <Grail> Hadrian shrugs "Okay. Thanks for your time."
  136. [2012-12-11 19:19:32] <Grail> Walks out with his key and hourglass
  137. [2012-12-11 19:20:06] <Falconis> you leave the store
  138. [2012-12-11 19:20:13] <Falconis> horse and cart await you
  139. [2012-12-11 19:20:13] <Grail> Time to go shopping for stuff he can funnel the money into, first stop: blanket store
  140. [2012-12-11 19:20:31] <Falconis> (remember to edit your dosh on the wiki >_>)
  141. [2012-12-11 19:20:43] <Grail> (I will when I know what the horse and cart cost me)
  142. [2012-12-11 19:20:46] <Falconis> you can go to a random general store
  143. [2012-12-11 19:20:49] <Falconis> or cobblers
  144. [2012-12-11 19:21:05] <Grail> Random general store
  145. [2012-12-11 19:21:36] <Falconis> RANDOM STORE IT IS
  146. [2012-12-11 19:21:43] <Grail> I believe enough blankets to cover every refugee would cost me 5k
  147. [2012-12-11 19:22:45] <Falconis> you enter one of the smaller general stores and hit them up for every blanket they got, rinse repeat till you have the amount you wanted
  148. [2012-12-11 19:23:31] <Grail> Anything else I note I should be buying to cover these refugees?
  149. [2012-12-11 19:23:37] <Grail> Cheap clothing?
  150. [2012-12-11 19:24:06] <Falconis> that would probably be a good idea, maybe not for all of them
  151. [2012-12-11 19:24:28] <Falconis> certainly stockpiling fresh water wouldn't be a bad investment
  152. [2012-12-11 19:25:13] <Falconis> perhaps those broth ingredients you thought of earlier
  153. [2012-12-11 19:25:25] <Grail> Hadrian opts to buy enough clothing for half the expected population of refugees.
  154. [2012-12-11 19:25:35] <Grail> Childrens clothes too, can't forget about the kids.
  155. [2012-12-11 19:25:41] <Grail> How much?
  156. [2012-12-11 19:27:27] <Falconis> im gonna go with 4.5k
  157. [2012-12-11 19:27:50] <Falconis> 3.5 >_>
  158. [2012-12-11 19:28:07] <Grail> Done
  159. [2012-12-11 19:28:13] <Grail> Fresh water?
  160. [2012-12-11 19:28:14] <Falconis> bam
  161. [2012-12-11 19:28:25] <Falconis> cart looking satisfied now
  162. [2012-12-11 19:28:32] <Grail> It is?
  163. [2012-12-11 19:28:40] <Falconis> nobody here sells water
  164. [2012-12-11 19:28:41] <Grail> Alright make a trip back to my building
  165. [2012-12-11 19:29:20] <Grail> How's the progress looking?
  166. [2012-12-11 19:29:21] <Falconis> horse pulls like a champ and gets the goods back to your building, where work is currently underway
  167. [2012-12-11 19:29:45] <Falconis> a team of carpenters and what looks like one mason swarm around the building
  168. [2012-12-11 19:29:51] <Falconis> hammers and saws to be heard
  169. [2012-12-11 19:29:54] <Falconis> looking good
  170. [2012-12-11 19:30:18] <Falconis> they have replaced a lot of the old rotting bits with solid timber
  171. [2012-12-11 19:30:55] <Grail> Excellent
  172. [2012-12-11 19:31:59] <Grail> I know I don't have enough to buy gruel for everyone
  173. [2012-12-11 19:32:06] <Grail> That was like 300k
  174. [2012-12-11 19:32:33] <Falconis> right, horses go from anywhere around 500 to 2000, carts are like 3-500 gold on average (unless you asked for like some SEXY SEXY cart)
  175. [2012-12-11 19:32:46] <Grail> ...
  176. [2012-12-11 19:32:51] <Grail> Tell me about these sexy carts
  177. [2012-12-11 19:33:44] <Falconis> metal casings, great wood, beautiful craftsmanship, comfortable seats
  178. [2012-12-11 19:34:03] <Falconis> deep back ends, horse rails

  181. [2012-12-11 19:35:33] <Falconis> an EXCELLENT CART can cost you anywhere from 750 to 1200 gold
  182. [2012-12-11 19:35:41] <Falconis> barring customizations

  187. [2012-12-11 19:36:10] <Grail> Sex horse and cart combo
  188. [2012-12-11 19:36:22] <Grail> Hadrian is riding in style
  189. [2012-12-11 19:37:22] <Grail> Fresh water, all Hadrian needs is to set up his own water treatment facility.
  190. [2012-12-11 19:37:41] <Grail> That means he needs a heat source, either plenty of wood or gas, he'll opt for wood.
  191. [2012-12-11 19:38:07] <Grail> And then he needs either minerals or certain herbs which will strain the nasty from the water
  192. [2012-12-11 19:38:22] <Grail> I'l guessing timber is cheap
  193. [2012-12-11 19:38:28] <Grail> I'm*
  194. [2012-12-11 19:39:33] <Falconis> not as expensive as in some places no
  195. [2012-12-11 19:39:43] <Falconis> with the forest just a little south from here
  196. [2012-12-11 19:40:10] <Grail> I need enough timber to run a fire that will boil water for several days
  197. [2012-12-11 19:40:31] <Grail> That's pobably a couple dozen trees worth
  198. [2012-12-11 19:40:42] <Grail> My fingers, so many typos
  199. [2012-12-11 19:41:04] <Falconis> and I suppose you want that lickety split
  200. [2012-12-11 19:42:06] <Grail> Within two days at least
  201. [2012-12-11 19:42:13] <Falconis> ah ok
  202. [2012-12-11 19:42:24] <Grail> Not like my shop will be in order before then
  203. [2012-12-11 19:42:35] <Falconis> so I suppose you are ordering from the sawmill?
  204. [2012-12-11 19:43:11] <Falconis> >_>
  205. [2012-12-11 19:43:11] <Falconis> <_<
  206. [2012-12-11 19:43:16] <Falconis> i guess
  207. [2012-12-11 19:43:23] <Grail> Sure
  208. [2012-12-11 19:43:30] <Grail> If you want abstract this process
  209. [2012-12-11 19:43:40] <Falconis> >_____________>
  210. [2012-12-11 19:43:44] <Falconis> anyway, moving on
  211. [2012-12-11 19:43:46] <Grail> And just tell me how much herbs/minerals and wood for this whole deal cost
  212. [2012-12-11 19:46:11] <Falconis> welp, for wood to run the fire and the treatment things for the water, this is going to run you... just about 850 gold >_>
  213. [2012-12-11 19:46:37] <Grail> Done
  214. [2012-12-11 19:46:51] <Falconis> chakaCLINK

  217. [2012-12-11 19:47:13] <Falconis> you are off to Phil's little hide away
  218. [2012-12-11 19:47:45] <Falconis> In a stark contrast to all the other times you have been here, Phil is not on his barrel, nor is he in sight
  219. [2012-12-11 19:48:06] <Grail> "Phil?"
  220. [2012-12-11 19:48:18] <Falconis> The area is devoid of all save a single meaty fellow you recognize as one of Phil's bruisers
  221. [2012-12-11 19:48:46] <Falconis> [Guy]"Phil's gone out"
  222. [2012-12-11 19:49:08] <Grail> "Where's he gone?"
  223. [2012-12-11 19:49:17] <Falconis> she shrugs
  224. [2012-12-11 19:49:20] <Falconis> he*
  225. [2012-12-11 19:49:23] <Falconis> (brb)
  226. [2012-12-11 19:53:37] <Falconis> k
  227. [2012-12-11 19:53:40] <Falconis> >_
  228. [2012-12-11 19:54:56] <Grail> "And who are you?"
  229. [2012-12-11 19:55:22] <Falconis> [Frank]"Frank"
  230. [2012-12-11 19:56:21] <Grail> "Well Frank, do you know when Phil will be back? I've got a proposition for him."
  231. [2012-12-11 19:58:07] <Falconis> he shrugs
  232. [2012-12-11 19:58:39] <Grail> Hadrian looks around
  233. [2012-12-11 19:58:49] <Grail> Anything interesting besides the barrel?
  234. [2012-12-11 19:59:32] <Falconis> other barrels
  235. [2012-12-11 19:59:33] <Falconis> doors
  236. [2012-12-11 19:59:54] <Falconis> it's a little square where 6 alleyways meet up
  237. [2012-12-11 20:00:05] <Falconis> there are 3 square buildings here
  238. [2012-12-11 20:00:25] <Grail> Look around a bit
  239. [2012-12-11 20:00:27] <Falconis> one you can easily guess is a bar of some sort, judging from the shelves of liquor
  240. [2012-12-11 20:00:35] <Falconis> the other two are more mysterious
  241. [2012-12-11 20:00:37] <Grail> Into the bar we go!
  242. [2012-12-11 20:00:41] <Falconis> as to their function
  243. [2012-12-11 20:00:44] <Falconis> INTO DA BAR
  244. [2012-12-11 20:01:40] <Falconis> you walk past frank and go into the bar, a few men are here nursing drinks and a few street rat looking types wolfing down some food
  245. [2012-12-11 20:01:49] <Falconis> a man and a woman stand behind the bar
  246. [2012-12-11 20:02:08] <Falconis> the woman, cleans a glass, the man cleans a plate
  247. [2012-12-11 20:04:41] <Grail> "Either of you see Frank?"
  248. [2012-12-11 20:05:19] <Falconis> [woman]"Isn't he outside?"
  249. [2012-12-11 20:05:47] <Grail> "What about Phil?"
  250. [2012-12-11 20:05:59] <Grail> Hadrian totally isn't going to admit he slipped up there
  251. [2012-12-11 20:06:34] <Falconis> [Man]"Hmm, not since you brought that young fellow in"
  252. [2012-12-11 20:08:16] <Grail> "Huh, guess he's still occupied. I'll take a drink then."
  253. [2012-12-11 20:09:07] <Falconis> The woman nods and slides you a glass of something generic looking
  254. [2012-12-11 20:09:33] <Grail> Hadrian drinks and passes his pay
  255. [2012-12-11 20:10:01] <Grail> Leaves a note for Phil on his barrel, unsigned, telling him he has a business opportunity.
  256. [2012-12-11 20:10:48] <Falconis> 1 gold
  257. [2012-12-11 20:10:58] <Falconis> yar
  258. [2012-12-11 20:11:42] <Grail> I guess all that's left is to buy a bunch of potatoes or potato like veggies, store them, and then maybe check on the investigation
  259. [2012-12-11 20:11:54] <Grail> Then hit the hay.
  260. [2012-12-11 20:12:40] <Falconis> kay
  261. [2012-12-11 20:13:15] <Falconis> potatoes are in short stock, but turnips
  262. [2012-12-11 20:13:21] <Falconis> they have turnips to kill
  263. [2012-12-11 20:13:25] <Falconis> want some turnips?
  264. [2012-12-11 20:13:40] <Grail> Fuck yes I want turnips

  268. [2012-12-11 20:14:30] <Falconis> no charge
  269. [2012-12-11 20:14:41] <Grail> ...Why?
  270. [2012-12-11 20:14:47] <Grail> These turnips poisoned?
  271. [2012-12-11 20:14:48] <Falconis> he seemed glad to be rid of them
  272. [2012-12-11 20:14:53] <Grail> YOU GIVING ME POISON TURNIPS?
  273. [2012-12-11 20:15:04] <Falconis> he assures you they are no more poisoned than any other turnip
  274. [2012-12-11 20:15:13] <Falconis> stuttering
  275. [2012-12-11 20:15:14] <Grail> ...Watch him eat a turnip
  276. [2012-12-11 20:15:27] <Falconis> he balks at the very thought
  277. [2012-12-11 20:15:32] <Falconis> but nibbles a turnip
  278. [2012-12-11 20:15:37] <Grail> Stink eye
  279. [2012-12-11 20:15:45] <Grail> Watch him then leave with a cart full of turnip
  280. [2012-12-11 20:15:56] <Grail> Turnip merchants man...
  281. [2012-12-11 20:16:04] <Falconis> you watch the poor man stomach down a whole turnip and then leave
  282. [2012-12-11 20:16:41] <Grail> Oh like turnips are that bad
  283. [2012-12-11 20:17:00] <Falconis> he seemed to think so
  284. [2012-12-11 20:17:47] <Grail> Last thing on today's agenda
  285. [2012-12-11 20:17:56] <Falconis> 1,1THE TURNIP KING COMETH
  286. [2012-12-11 20:18:06] <Grail> Check around to see what the golden goons are doing.
  287. [2012-12-11 20:18:43] <Falconis> you have been hard pressed not to notice them all day, though they seemed to ignore your pile of blankets and turnips
  288. [2012-12-11 20:19:15] <Grail> Excellent
  289. [2012-12-11 20:19:16] <Falconis> They have been running around, entering living areas, storage, outhouses
  290. [2012-12-11 20:19:18] <Grail> The perfeclt camo
  291. [2012-12-11 20:19:27] <Grail> Outhouses?
  292. [2012-12-11 20:19:31] <Falconis> outhouses
  293. [2012-12-11 20:19:33] <Grail> Dedication right there
  294. [2012-12-11 20:19:43] <Falconis> they are very thorough it seems
  295. [2012-12-11 20:20:34] <Grail> Guess that's that for the day
  296. [2012-12-11 20:20:41] <Grail> Oh wait
  297. [2012-12-11 20:20:43] <Grail> Brothel
  298. [2012-12-11 20:20:54] <Falconis> >_>
  299. [2012-12-11 20:21:01] <Grail> Hadrian is going to pick something up, you can just skip over that
  300. [2012-12-11 20:21:06] <Falconis> you find a brothel
  301. [2012-12-11 20:21:14] <Falconis> the brothel is skipped I guess
  302. [2012-12-11 20:21:17] <Falconis> >_
  303. [2012-12-11 20:21:25] <Grail> Back home
  304. [2012-12-11 20:21:43] <Falconis> you head on home as the evening light turns to dusk
  305. [2012-12-11 20:21:56] <Falconis> and by home im assuming you mean Celias' place
  306. [2012-12-11 20:23:07] <Falconis> the place is lit up like a ceremonial tree from some holiday not celebrated in this world
  307. [2012-12-11 20:23:36] <Falconis> Imperial guards clad in gold march in and out, bearing torches and all manner of things
  308. [2012-12-11 20:24:15] <Falconis> Celias is in the courtyard arguing with a large man in resplendent golden armour
  309. [2012-12-11 20:26:35] <Grail> What's the argument about?
  310. [2012-12-11 20:26:50] <Falconis> something about carpets and mud
  311. [2012-12-11 20:26:58] <Falconis> and time of day and rights
  312. [2012-12-11 20:27:03] <Grail> Shit
  313. [2012-12-11 20:27:12] <Grail> Looks like it took longer than he expected
  314. [2012-12-11 20:27:14] <Falconis> and mothers and dark holes places to put your feet
  315. [2012-12-11 20:27:44] <Grail> Well
  316. [2012-12-11 20:28:10] <Grail> It does not seem particularly good to be around here just now
  317. [2012-12-11 20:29:28] <Grail> Hadrian is just going to mosey on out, he does still have a lot of money to funnel away
  318. [2012-12-11 20:30:39] <Falconis> you keep on rolling by
  319. [2012-12-11 20:30:57] <Falconis> a few of the guards give you funny looks, but you are not stopped
  320. [2012-12-11 20:31:19] <Grail> There's a lot of money to burn
  321. [2012-12-11 20:31:45] <Grail> What else...candles, rope, tents, stuff like that
  322. [2012-12-11 20:31:54] <Grail> How much for large stocks of misc goods?
  323. [2012-12-11 20:32:23] <Falconis> >_______________________>
  324. [2012-12-11 20:33:16] <Falconis> im just gonna go ahead and say, for stock that would make a store feel pretty for a week, somewhere around the order of 7,500 for cheap stuff, to 50odd thousand for pretty good quality items
  325. [2012-12-11 20:33:27] <Falconis> where are you going to buy these things?
  326. [2012-12-11 20:34:05] <Grail> Either from other general stores, buying out all their stock or directly from whoever is making them in town
  327. [2012-12-11 20:34:51] <Falconis> a lot of the stock used to be imported from minerva
  328. [2012-12-11 20:34:54] <Falconis> used to be
  329. [2012-12-11 20:35:04] <Falconis> poor old Cobbler
  330. [2012-12-11 20:35:05] <Grail> Ah my forsaken home city
  331. [2012-12-11 20:35:11] <Falconis> he's ruined now
  332. [2012-12-11 20:35:21] <Falconis> in one fell swoop
  333. [2012-12-11 20:35:35] <Grail> Good, he was far too security concious for Hadrian's liking
  334. [2012-12-11 20:36:05] <Grail> Hadrian puts down 12,000 gold
  335. [2012-12-11 20:36:07] <Falconis> you could clear out a good few stores with your remaining dosh
  336. [2012-12-11 20:36:39] <Grail> Which leaves him with about 5k in left over gold
  337. [2012-12-11 20:36:50] <Grail> Good enough
  338. [2012-12-11 20:36:55] <Grail> He has bought all he needs
  339. [2012-12-11 20:37:08] <Falconis> your cart has put in good work
  340. [2012-12-11 20:37:15] <Falconis> your horse is hungry and tired
  341. [2012-12-11 20:37:36] <Grail> Get him some good horse food
  342. [2012-12-11 20:37:41] <Grail> Put him up for the night
  343. [2012-12-11 20:38:16] <Grail> Check to see if the goons are gone when all's finished
  344. [2012-12-11 20:38:19] <Falconis> 20g
  345. [2012-12-11 20:38:31] <Falconis> yea they are gone
  346. [2012-12-11 20:38:55] <Grail> Hadrian returns to his cousin's
  347. [2012-12-11 20:39:09] <Falconis> you RETURN TO CELIAS'S HOUSE
  348. [2012-12-11 20:39:33] <Falconis> The gate guard stands asleep inside
  349. [2012-12-11 20:39:37] <Falconis> as usual
  350. [2012-12-11 20:40:33] <Ingenious_Flake> (or dead, throat slit)
  351. [2012-12-11 20:40:39] <Falconis> you go through all that bungle and get inside, phineas opens the door in his usual timely manner
  352. [2012-12-11 20:42:21] <Grail> Hadrian nods to Phineas "Is Celias in?"
  353. [2012-12-11 20:42:59] <Falconis> he nods in return [Phineas]"Indeed sir the master is in"
  354. [2012-12-11 20:43:07] <Falconis> "He is in the dinig room"
  355. [2012-12-11 20:43:11] <Falconis> dining*
  356. [2012-12-11 20:44:18] <Grail> Hadrian walks the decidely luxurious halls, noting any changes from the usual form while he does so. He's a little rumbly, skipped lunch and all.
  357. [2012-12-11 20:45:34] <Falconis> The luxurious halls are not as...clean as they once were, dirt tracks line the floors and little scratches adorn the walls
  358. [2012-12-11 20:45:53] <Falconis> one wall in particular reveals itself to not have been a wall at all but a secret door
  359. [2012-12-11 20:45:57] <Falconis> which now lays on the floor
  360. [2012-12-11 20:46:19] <Falconis> passage leading down into the erth
  361. [2012-12-11 20:46:36] <Grail> Huh
  362. [2012-12-11 20:46:41] <Falconis> Phineas looks at them and clucks his tongue
  363. [2012-12-11 20:47:21] <Grail> Continuing on to the dining room
  364. [2012-12-11 20:48:59] <Falconis> THE DINING ROOM
  365. [2012-12-11 20:49:34] <Falconis> Celias and Phil and a woman you don't recognize sit around the table, eating various meals and sipping on what you believe to be red wine
  366. [2012-12-11 20:49:38] <Falconis> >_
  367. [2012-12-11 20:50:45] <Grail> "Afternoon, Celias. Room at the table for one more?"
  368. [2012-12-11 20:51:28] <Falconis> Celias looks up from his steak, a broad grin on his face
  369. [2012-12-11 20:51:52] <Falconis> [Celias]"Ah! Haddy, come on and join us. Phineas, bring him something"
  370. [2012-12-11 20:52:09] <Falconis> Phil nods at you as you enter,
  371. [2012-12-11 20:52:20] <Grail> Hadrian seats himself.
  372. [2012-12-11 20:52:25] <Grail> What does the woman look like?
  373. [2012-12-11 20:52:25] <Falconis> The lady, inclines her head
  374. [2012-12-11 20:52:38] <Falconis> *clears throat*
  375. [2012-12-11 20:57:14] <Falconis> One thing you can tell about the woman, is that she is tall. Even while sitting down you can tell that she is probably a bit taller than you. She wears a wide brimmed red hat tilted at a jaunty angle, with some designs in lace woven into it. She wears a form hugging black and red blouse with swirls that somehow manage to further highlight the contours of her figure. Long, auburn hair flows...
  376. [2012-12-11 20:57:14] <Falconis> ...out of the hat and frames her face in a sultry manner. She wears bright red lipstick.
  377. [2012-12-11 20:57:27] <Falconis> >_>
  378. [2012-12-11 20:57:29] <Falconis> *cough*
  379. [2012-12-11 20:57:34] <Falconis> She is incredibly pale
  380. [2012-12-11 20:57:52] <Falconis> She seems to be eating lobster
  381. [2012-12-11 20:58:09] <Falconis> >_
  382. [2012-12-11 20:58:30] <Grail> "And who is this vision in scarlet?" he asks, not directed at either of them in particular
  383. [2012-12-11 21:03:50] <Falconis> Celias inhales to speak and is cut off as the woman speaks herself [lady]"Ms. Juddeca Lavelle," she intones reaching out a hand
  384. [2012-12-11 21:04:05] <Falconis> Celias takes a sip of his drink
  385. [2012-12-11 21:04:14] <Falconis> Phil chews slowly
  386. [2012-12-11 21:04:43] <Grail> Oh hey there's phil
  387. [2012-12-11 21:04:47] <Grail> Totally missed that he was here
  388. [2012-12-11 21:05:34] <Grail> "A pleasure." he says as he takes her hand. Hadrian has his rogueish charm out in spades tonight
  389. [2012-12-11 21:07:47] <Falconis> [Celias]"Ms Lavelle owns about half this city"
  390. [2012-12-11 21:08:58] <Falconis> She sighs
  391. [2012-12-11 21:09:40] <Grail> Hadrian tries not to let his surprise show at that. He instead keeps up his pleasant smile.
  392. [2012-12-11 21:11:08] <Falconis> [Juddeca]"My dirty little secret. Come now Celias, a woman must have her mysteries"
  393. [2012-12-11 21:11:20] <Falconis> [Celias]"Of course"
  394. [2012-12-11 21:11:22] <Falconis> *sip*
  395. [2012-12-11 21:12:18] <Grail> "And what mysteries you must have. So what brings such esteemed guests to the dinner table tonight?"
  396. [2012-12-11 21:15:44] <Falconis> [Celias]"Oh you know, just a little get together."
  397. [2012-12-11 21:16:52] <Falconis> [Phil]"Old friends, having a meal"
  398. [2012-12-11 21:18:42] <Grail> "Certainly nothing to do with those scuff marks I take it?"
  399. [2012-12-11 21:20:08] <Falconis> Celias makes a face
  400. [2012-12-11 21:20:29] <Falconis> [Celias]"Those bastard imperials, I worked hard for this place"
  401. [2012-12-11 21:20:45] <Falconis> [Judecca]"Oh, it's not all that bad"
  402. [2012-12-11 21:21:29] <Falconis> [Celias]"Not that bad? They broke the damn door down. Couldn't they just have opened it like civilized people and not broken it like a ragtag bunch of wild apes"
  403. [2012-12-11 21:21:39] <Falconis> He frowns and sets his wine glass down
  404. [2012-12-11 21:23:25] <Falconis> Phil chews
  405. [2012-12-11 21:23:27] <Falconis> >_
  406. [2012-12-11 21:23:27] <Grail> "They'll get their's Celias, I'm sure of it."
  407. [2012-12-11 21:24:14] <Grail> Hadrian looks for some gnosh
  408. [2012-12-11 21:24:21] *Global* [grimlock] The Mayan's say the #endoftheworld is coming! Join us in a countdown!
  409. [2012-12-11 21:24:44] <Falconis> gnosh?
  410. [2012-12-11 21:24:50] <Grail> Food
  411. [2012-12-11 21:24:57] <Falconis> ah, thought so
  412. [2012-12-11 21:25:08] <Falconis> Phineas stands by to take your order
  413. [2012-12-11 21:25:40] <Falconis> seems like special meals being prepared tonight
  414. [2012-12-11 21:26:55] <Grail> "Tenderloin, heavily seasoned with some savory herbs, a side of potato mash with garlic and onion puree, and the usual plate of fruits if you would."
  415. [2012-12-11 21:27:26] <Falconis> Phineas nods and steps briskly out of the room
  416. [2012-12-11 21:27:51] <Grail> "How has it been for you, Phil? I was looking for you earlier today, I even left a note."
  417. [2012-12-11 21:28:52] <Falconis> [Phil]"I am...displeased that someone would come and make a big mess in my city"
  418. [2012-12-11 21:29:47] <Falconis> [Phil]"Just making things clear around town"
  419. [2012-12-11 21:30:04] <Falconis> He bites off a bit of celery with a loud crunch
  420. [2012-12-11 21:30:09] <Falconis> *chew chew chew*
  421. [2012-12-11 21:30:40] <Grail> At least he's being careful with his stress eating choices
  422. [2012-12-11 21:32:13] <Grail> "A terrible bother, well don't dwell on the problems of today on my account. What was the topic of discussion before I interrupted?"
