Log Fifteen: High Class French Fries Part B

<CJ> OK, so Silas is bsy talking, Gustbran washing stuff off. Makara,m where is Momo?
 <Silas_> (cause nothing sticks with you as a lecture when one of your friends were just killed)
 * Ramon keep a eye on the 2 living troublemaker
 <Gustbran> (amen to that)
* Makara is petting momo while sitting on a chair giving the student a disappointed  fatherly stern face
 <CJ> They are pretty upset, and not going anywhere!
 <CJ> so no one looking out to the street?
 <Gustbran> (not me. though we did bring the dead one indoors.)
 <Silas_> (Too busy reminding them that this is all their fault :p )
 <Makara> (nope)
 <Ramon> (Yes I also remember we brought him in)
 <Silas_> ( a street urchin is fetching a priest if I recall)
 <Ramon> (Yes that was aranged by the Tavern owner)
 <Makara> (church is right next door anyway)
 <CJ> Sorry I keep losing ability to type. There is a booming voice from outside - someone is singing, and banging on the wall, in a language other than French Latin or English!
 * Ramon open the door and have a look
 <Gustbran> "what on earth!?"
 <Makara> (momo understand what it's saying)
 * Gustbran finishes cleaning up his armor and comes to the door also.
 <CJ> RAmon, a man dressed in exquisite noble fashions is outside the door, with his fist against the wall, his eyes closed. He appears greek by complexion and features. As you reach the door he opens his eyes, and you notice that he is wearing a fortune in tasteful jewellery
 <CJ> He looks at you and says in Latin "Salve Sodalus: I think you have much explaining to do!"
 <Ramon> In latin "What are you doing there?"
 <Ramon> "Why would I have need to explain something?"
 <Ramon> "Who are you?"
 <CJ> "I live here, and look after the apprentices on the Grand Tour. This is my role, on behalf of House Jerbiton"
 <CJ> "Who are you Redcap?"
 <Ramon> "Oh I see might you come in?"
 <Ramon> "I'm Ramon of Barcelona"
 <CJ> The man enters, and looks around the room. His eyes stop on the dead apprentice
 <CJ> "Greeting Ramon" -- "tell em precisely what ahappened -- all of you, tell me what has occurred here"
 <CJ> He seems sad rather than angry
 <Ramon> "This 3 attacked us when having a meal inside are this your apprentice?"
 <Silas_> "A shame you were not here earlier" [does a very short bow]
 <Ramon> (err + we)
 <CJ> "You may call me Octavian, as I am often known by that name" says the magus
 <CJ> (He looks at Makara curiously)
 <Ramon> "Its also saden me that it cames to such a bad end"
 <Makara> "I wasn't here at the moment of offense, so I will let them explain."
 <Silas_> "They were playing a prank, intend at causing harm to the innkeeper for not letting them stay."
 <CJ> "why would even idiotic apprentyices attack magi?"
 <CJ> " what sort fo prank, and how did it end so badly?"
 <Ramon> "Prank you cal that? macking the food so bad that I haved to puck for over a minute?"
 <Silas_> "As we only saw the effects we responded. A shame that one had to die."
 <Silas_> [eyes the apprentices] perhaps they can better explain the nature of their spell
 <CJ> Octavian looks grave. "How did one of my students end up dead from this prnak though?"
 <CJ> The apprentices still do not speak, but put their eyes to the fllor
 <CJ> floor
 <Gustbran> "If I may, magus.."
 <CJ> They seem both traumatised and full of shame
 <Ramon> "If I recall it right he got a fist of our Grog here in the face and that was to much"
 <CJ> (Octavian looks at Gustbran and nods for him to go on...)
 <Silas_> "As I said, we defended ourselves, attempting to subdue them, sadly one was hit a bit too hard. Or attempts to heal him were not enough to save his life"
 <Makara> (I PUNCH YOUR STUDENT SO  HARD IT DIE!)
 <Silas_> (or rather, caused his death!)
 <CJ> 	(Octavian looks at Gustbran and nods for him to go on...)
 <Gustbran> "I was attempting to subdue these, not knowing that it was a prank."
 <Gustbran> "I hit one of them too hard."
 <Makara> (AND I CHOCK HIM TO DEATH HAHAHAHA)
 <CJ> " I see. Well I think we need to deal with the prsssing matters. You have called a priest?"
 <Gustbran> "When it was over I tried to help him but there was nothing that I could do."
 <Silas_> "One should be coming, yes"
 * Ramon point at the Tavernoner "He did"
 <CJ> "What is oyur Tribunal and Coivenant, in case the quaesitoprs wish to ask further questions?"
 <CJ> Octavian walks over tot he landlord, and taps him on the shoulder. He falls asleep over the table instantly
 <Ramon> "As Mentioned I'm from barcelona , the local Redcap Covenant there and the rest is from the City of Ivory and Jade"
 <Silas_> "- It is a city that flies, which makes our connections to any one tribunal difficult"
 <CJ> Octavian looks up as if shocked at the mention of the City of Ivory and Jade, then immediately, his expression returns to concerned and grief stricken.
 <CJ> Perception + Guile everyone
 <Silas_> !roll 1d10 (has no guile)
 <Magic_Dice> Silas_, (has no guile): 3
 <Ramon> (Awearness Bodylanguage focus possible?)
 <Gustbran> !roll 1d10
 <Magic_Dice> Gustbran: 2
 <Makara> !roll 1d10+1
 <Magic_Dice> Makara:  3 :2+1
 <Silas_> (we've no manner of luck)
 <Makara> (The fear of Antonious is great)
 <Ramon> !roll 1d10+3 (Awearness Bodylanguage focus -3 if guile)
 <Magic_Dice> Ramon, (Awearness Bodylanguage focus -3 if guile):  4 :1+3
 <Ramon> !roll 1d10
 <Magic_Dice> Ramon: 8
 <Makara> (welp more than enough)
 <Silas_> (you only need to be thrown off a city of that hight once to not want it happening again)
 <Gustbran> (I don't think  you need it to happen ever to not want it..)
 <Silas_> (I suppose that is a valid point)
 <CJ> Octavian looks at you all, and nods. Ramon, you notice that Octavian is trying to ide his reaction to hearing the nam of your covenant, but is now carefully studying each of you while seeming to be busy bustling around
 <CJ> Octavian suddenly smiles, and apologises for all the upset caused by his "idiot apprentices"
 <CJ> "I will clear up this mess" he promises -- "but the quaesitors may ask many questions, so perhaps it is best for nwo if you leave Paris?"
 * Gustbran formally apologizes and bows for this.
 <Ramon> "If needed we can bring this up to the Headmage of the City of Ivory and Jade as he is a Quaesitor"
 <CJ> He then returns to tutting over the boy, but Ramon, something about his concern for the lad seems false now
 <Ramon> "But I prefer if we dont have to bring this up to one"
 <CJ> "I think I can resolve matters" says Octavian. "You had best be on your way!"
 * Ramon wisper to Silas "Looks like he fears your Covenant"
 <Silas_> [whispers back] "Even so, what can we do?"
 <Silas_> [to the group] "while I hate to cut the trip short he may be right"
 <Ramon> (Can we leave tough the gates at this time?)
 <Silas_> (probably not)
 <CJ> (Not till dawn, still several hours off)
 <CJ> (UNless you persuade the gatrekeeper)
 <Ramon> "Makara I fear you have to creat a fog"
 <Ramon> "So we can leave without draw much attention"
 <Silas_> (Look, we just killed someone, can we just leave please Mr. Gatekeeper? :p )
 <Gustbran> (I'm the "keymaster" mister gatekeeper! ;))
 <Makara> "If I have to"
 <Ramon> "Oh on more question what was you covenant again Octavian?"
 <Silas_> [in a low voice] "A shame we didn't find the reason why we are here though"
 * Gustbran hears that at mumbles..
 <CJ> Ocatavian says "I run the House of the Apprentices here in Paris"
 <Momo_> [in a low voice] "You are here to meet me, Silas, you are  here to meet me."
 <Ramon> "Thanks"
 <Gustbran> [in a low voice] "this probably is the reason we're here..."
 <CJ> Amaranth and Baruch, any further actions after the "bell"?
 <Baruch> I'll go ask the guards if they know what it is
 <Silas_> (Momo was... the... fish? *crosses fingers*)
 <CJ> (No that is Fishy. Momo is a cat)
 <Silas_> (or cat?)
 <Makara> (momo the cat with a paper crown and dirty cape)
 <Amaranth> I'm trying to see if any of the people in the city have any sort of reaction.
 * Aiden is sleeping through it.
 <CJ> (Baruch: the guards have no idea - they say it sounded like the whole city resonated, as is something hit a copper jar)
 <Ramon> To the Tavern owner "We would have to cut our stay short and as you heared this local will take care of everything that happened from this inicdent"
 <Makara> (owner is sleeping)
 <CJ> Amaranth Com + Folk Ken
 <CJ> "zzzzzzzzzzzzz" says the tavern owner
 <Ramon> (Oh ok)
 <Silas_> (he got a poke from sir twitchalot tho)
 <Gustbran> (haha)
 <Amaranth> !roll 1d10+5
 <Magic_Dice> Amaranth:  12 :7+5
 * Class spot baruch and head to him
 <Class> @Baruch "You know what this bell was?"
 <CJ> Amaranth, the few people on the streets after midnight are drunk, very busy trying to get home or just loners and solitary types. You talk to a few, and all agree they ahve geard nothing like it before, but one says it put him in mind of a funeral bell, that when he was a chiuld in the Alps was often tolled when a citizen of his village died.
 <Baruch> "No, not at all. And neither do the grogs. It sounded ... worrying, though."
 <CJ> Right, Paris Team, whats' your plan?
 <Ramon> "I agree so it was not one of our own defense warnings?"
 <Gustbran> (!)
 <Ramon> (grr wrong chat)
 <Class> "I agree so it was not one of our own defense warnings?"
 <Makara> (Sleep the night off?)
 <Baruch> "Certainly not. Perhaps we should ask around to see if anyone else knows anything."
 <Silas_> "We should likely head out at dawn, I think"
 * Amaranth heads back in the tower with this new information after thanking the talkative people.
 <Ramon> "We can leave now if we generat a big enoug fog, Sedala wouldnt have a problem with that"
 <Baruch> CJ: Are there any other senior magi in the emerald tower beside Octavianus?
 <CJ> Nope, not in Emeral Tower
 <Silas_> (emerald joys tower? Karvith, my mentor, should be a senior there I think)
 <Class> "If it comes from the city below us I doubt my Mentor is of any use who els could we ask?"
 <Baruch> Is Silas' parens there? If so, we'll go ask him.
 <Silas_> "We can, I suppose. They might ask questions at the gate though."
 <Ramon> "I mean fog direct here in the streets"
 <CJ> (Apologies, I'm still getting back to being awake - Silas trained in the Tower of Emerald Joys. His parens Karvith Torin has his lab there too.
 <CJ> Baruch has a lab in the Tower of Emerald Joys. His parens Octavianus has his lab there, but it is no secret the two don't get on.)
 <Baruch> Ok, so We'll go ask Karvith
 <CJ> BAruch, KArvith eventuallty responds to yiur insistent knocking!
 <Gustbran> (haha)
 <CJ> He looks out, and despite being awakened smiles at you
 <Baruch> "Excuse us the hour, but did you happen to hear the bell-like sound recently? It is as if the whole city shook?"
 <CJ> "Baruch: to what do I owe this unexpected pleasure?" he says
 <Baruch> "We don't seem to recognize it, but it was quite loud and ominous."
 <Baruch> "Anything to be worried about?"
 <CJ> Karvith "I certainly heard it; it awakened me. I did wonder what it was nust assume it was some grog thging, as not the larma chimes from teh Temple"
 <CJ> KArvith: "I have never heard it before"
 <Silas_> (reminds me of calling someone in the middle of the night asking, "did I wake you?" and replying, "no I was already up from the phone ringing")
 <Baruch> "Ah, yes. Surely a grog thing, then. Thank you for putting my mind at ease."
 <CJ> "Now if you will excuse me...."
 <Ramon> "have a good night then"
 <Baruch> "Good night."
 <CJ> Karvith yawns, and staggers wearily back in
 <Ramon> (grrrrrrrrrr)
 <Gustbran> (AHHAHAHA)
 <CJ> Meanwhile back in Paris
 <Gustbran> (A dragon has come to wreck the city!)
 <Class> "I will have a round around our city then maybe I spot something."
 <CJ> OK, want to move things on. Anyone doing anything in Paris to get back, or you all waiting for dawn?
 <Baruch> "Yes, and excellent idea. Perhaps we can spot what the grogs are up to. I'll accompany you."
 <Silas_> [to Octavius] "Do you recommend that we leave now, or can we wait till dawn?"
 <CJ> Class please make a Per + Hunt roll
 <Ramon> "As mentioned if we generat a fog in the citystreets I doubt it draw to much attention
 <Baruch> !roll 1d10 (per+hunt)
 <Magic_Dice> Baruch, (per+hunt): 2
 <CJ> Baruch, you flying -- Per + Awareness will work or Per + Hunt
 <Baruch> !roll 1d10+1 (per+awareness, sorry)
 <Magic_Dice> Baruch, (per+awareness, sorry):  2 :1+1
 <Class> !roll 1d10+5 (+1 extra if tracking)
 <Magic_Dice> Class, (+1 extra if tracking):  13 :8+5
 <CJ> roll again
 <Baruch> !roll 1d10
 <Magic_Dice> Baruch: 3
 <Silas_> [to Ramon] "I would like to stay the night though - unless this would cause problems for all parties involved"
 <Momo_> "Hurry up, human. Or I will decide this for you."
 <CJ> Baruch 7, Class 13. Baruch flies over the city, and notices that a few leaves have fallen from trees, mainly in the Edenic Quarter. Class notices the Ruby Tower is still gently resonating, though the vibrations are slowing.
 <Ramon> "If this hampers Octavians ability to cover up everything then I would prefer to go now and even if we stay I would prefer someone stay aweak"
 <CJ> Amaranth, you also realise the people who noticed it the most were in the Edenic Quarter
 <CJ> http://jerome23.files.wordpress.com/2012/11/city.jpg
 <Class> "Whats up with the Ruby tower its still shaking!"
 <Silas_> "... alright then. Makara, what do you think?"
 <Class> "Could this be the source?"
 <CJ> Amaranth, kitty can still hear the tower ringing just much much fainter
 <Makara> "I have paid for the inn and I intent to stay."
 <CJ> Makara has a nice room at Renee's though
 * Amaranth somewhat leery about wandering by herself late at night, but decides this is too interesting to not check out... heads to the Edenic Quarter.
 <Baruch> "Perhaps. None of the other towers seem affected, I think. Let's take a closer look."
 <Silas_> [smiles faintly]
 <CJ> Amaranth make a Pre +Folk Ken
 <Gustbran> "If it pleases you, I will stand a watch until dawn. It's not that much longer."
 <CJ> Silas, Gutsbran, RAmon, will you stay in Paris till dawn then?
 <Amaranth> !roll 1d10+4
 <Magic_Dice> Amaranth:  14 :10+4
 <Amaranth> (Wahhh)
 <Ramon> "Ok If you decide to we can do so!"
 <Amaranth> !roll 1d10
 <Magic_Dice> Amaranth: 3
 <Baruch> (You Parisians all have to stay or go together, since you can't fly without Sedala.)
 <Silas_> "We stay then, Gustbran, awake us if anything happens."
 <Gustbran> "I will do so."
 <Ramon> "Sure no problem with me"
 <CJ> Amaranth glares at villains, throw coins to street urchins, skips though "dodgy" alleys and clambers through a stile and across the gardens before erentering the Edenic qurtr and finding Baruch and Class by the Tower fo the Faming Passions
 <CJ> OK, the three of you at the Ruby Tower
 <CJ> The vibrations have almost stopped now
 * Gustbran sits down and starts polishing his spear in view of the apprentices.
 <CJ> GUstbran, Per + Awareness
 <Class> "Who are the Residents of this Tower Baruch?"
 <Gustbran> !roll 1d10+3
 <Amaranth> "Oh, hello."  Somewhat surprised to see Baurch and Class.  "I assume you two also heard the bell?"
 <Magic_Dice> Gustbran:  8 :5+3
 <CJ> (Octavianus is upstairs, moving around doing stuff. His pprentices remain with you)
 <Baruch> I'll try to Intellego imaginem my sense of touch to better discern where the blast originated
 <Ramon> "Hello, yes. But might I ask who are you?"
 * Silas_ heads to their room and goes to sleep
 <Ramon> (If I remember right Class didn't encounter Amaranth so fare)
 <Baruch> !roll 1d10+14
 <Magic_Dice> Baruch:  24 :10+14
 <Baruch> (god damn, what is it with the dicebot and me these days)
 <Baruch> !roll 1d10
 <Magic_Dice> Baruch: 9
 <Class> "Hello, yes. But might I ask who are you?"
 <Amaranth> (Class might actually know Amaranth- he saw her in owl form when she first arrived- but she wouldn't know him.)
 <Amaranth> "Amaranth, ambassador of House Tremere.  I'm... new.  It is nice to meet you, ...?"
 <Baruch> "Yes. It seems to be coming from here, somewhere. I'm a little worried about it."
 <Class> "Ohh now I remember you was the person sudenly apered in one of our lab"
 <Amaranth> "Did someone pass away?  The people on the streets... one of them suggested that the bell sounded like a funeral bell."
 <Amaranth> "Ah, yes, that was me."
 <Class> "I'm Class ex Bjornaer"
 <Baruch> "None of the people we asked recognized it, which makes it all the more peculiar."
 <CJ> You discuss matters for a while, and the final vibrations end.
 <CJ> Unless anyone has anything they wish to do I shall cut till dawn?
 <Silas_> (doesn't Calpurnia live there?)
 <Gustbran> (sounds good to me)
 <Makara> (nuke paris)
 <Baruch> CJ: So my intellego imaginem trick didn't work`
 <CJ> Calpurnia does.
 <Ramon> (fine with me)
 <Gustbran> (what did my roll get?)
 <Baruch> I should be able to cast it at 5, so I still pulled it off with a roll of 0, right?
 <CJ> Yes, it does actually I think Baruch - I'm still working it out
 <Baruch> base 3 + 1 touch + 1 diameter or concentration
 <CJ> OK Baruch, it came from CAlpurnia's lab
 <CJ> The noise originated there
 <Makara> (it's always calpurnia's lab :| )
 <Gustbran> (and my per+awareness?)
 <Silas_> (Where else would it come from Makara? :p )
 <Makara> (a giant catfish)
 <CJ> Gutsbran: Octavianus is upstairs, moving around doing stuff. His apprentices remain with you. That was the result
 <Silas_> (good point)
 <Baruch> "It came from Calpurnia's new lab. Let's investigate."
 <Amaranth> (Kittyfish!)
 <Gustbran> (ah)
 * Baruch heads to the lab, hopefully remembering the secret gesture tm
 <Silas_> (MomoFishy ? )
 <CJ> BArcu, as you approach the lab you see scaffolding everywjere, and masons and craftsman's tools
 * Ramon have a look at his 2 books if there is anything he should bring from paris bevore he go to sleep
 <CJ> Extensive rennovations are taking place here
 * Amaranth follows Baruch very warily, making sure to copy all gestures and stay away from glass objects.
 <CJ> Baruch, sorry!
 <CJ> Amaranth, you are surprised at how extensive the rennovations taking place are. As you approach Calpurnia's level three grogs step out and stop you
 <Class> "So you whant to enter the Tower without her invention? I thought she declared the complet tower as her own?"
 <CJ> (She was forbidden by Antonius from doing so so far but wants to yes)
 <Makara> (she only own the lab)
 <Class> (good :) )
 <Gustbran> (it'll be hers in all but name anyway, haha)
 <CJ> GROGS: Stop! Who would disturb our mistress Calpurnia!
 * Class follows baruch as Human then
 <Silas_> (the nerve of some grogs...)
 <CJ> The grogs are polite and a bit nervous as they do not like having to stopmagi
 <Baruch> "Senior magus Baruch. There was a disturbance here."
 <Class> "Can you call Calpurina out?"
 <Amaranth> "Ah..."  I glance at Baruch and decide to leave this one to him rather then chewing the grogs to pieces for being rude.
 <Baruch> to Class: "She would like that, sure."
 <CJ> BAruch please make a Pre + leadership
 <Gustbran> (don't botch!)
 <Baruch> !roll 1d10-2
 <Magic_Dice> Baruch:  3 :5-2
 <Class> (I asked the grogs for doing so ^^)
 <Baruch> (Yeah, Baruch'll teach you how to handle people."
 <Gustbran> (hehe)
 <Silas_> (It could be worse.... I suppose...)
 <Silas_> (marginally)
 <Class> !roll 1d10-1 (Leadership untrained)
 <Magic_Dice> Class, (Leadership untrained):  8 :9-1
 <CJ> The grogs look at you "sorry sir, Calpurnia has instructed us o turn all visitors away"
 <CJ> Lass, d you wishg to to spend a confidence point?
 <Class> yes
 <Amaranth> "Did you happen to hear a long, ringing noise?  Like an echoing bell?" I ask the grogs, figuring they had to.
 <Silas_> (oh god, my imagination...)
 <CJ> OK, tyhe grogs look at Class with repect " but we had best fetch her!"
 <CJ> OK< Calpurnia is woken, can we have Calpurnia
 <CJ> Amaranth, can I have a Per + Awarenbess roll from you please
 <Gustbran> (poor baruch... he gets no respect, even as a senior mage... :()
 <Amaranth> !roll 1d10 (no awareness)
 <Magic_Dice> Amaranth, (no awareness): 9
 <Ramon> (Did hapen to him also when he looked for help in the building crash ^^)
 <Silas_> (not sure Naga is here today)
 <Baruch> (Calpurnia isn't here, though - I think Nagas was unavailable this weekend)
 <Makara> (To twlight then)
 <Silas_> (lol)
 <Makara> (or off to hell again)
 <Amaranth> (Noo, not hell!)
 <Makara> (is warm down there)
 <Silas_> (grogs: ergh, the mistress has one of her episodes... come back tomorrow :p )
 <CJ> Amaranth, as well as the grogs, another chap has entered the room. He is extremely handsome, muscled and toned, and has long dark hair, almost waist length, and a tight leather shirecut to show off his biceps. He holds a mason's hammer in his left hand, which is inscribed beautifully with a swirling silver pattern. He watches you all with a brooding, withdrawn air,l like someone somehow detached
 <CJ> CAlpurnia appears at the door
 <CJ> "What do you lot want?; and why are you in my tower???" she snarls
 <Baruch> "Erm... Is everything in order, calpurnia? Something in your lab seems to have shaken the entire city."
 <Class> "Calpurina I dont know what expirments you curent do but something from your lab have affect the whole city just a half a hour ago"
 <Silas_> (at least Makara isn't with you ^^ )
 * Amaranth stays away from the angry angry angry girl, and looks at the hammer thoughtfully.
 <CJ> "WHat do you mean Baruch? The only thing that has disturbed me is you lot!"
 <CJ> AMaranth Int + Magic Lore
 <Class> "You complet tower have shacked and generated some kind of Gong and the source was your lab!"
 <Amaranth> !roll 1d10+2 (...no Magic Lore, either)
 <Magic_Dice> Amaranth, (...no Magic Lore, either):  7 :5+2
 <CJ> Calpurnia is far from amused at being awakened. She clearly noticed nothing
 <Baruch> "Everyone in the city felt it, Calpurnia. We just want to know that everything is alright."
 <CJ> Amaranth you wish to spend confidence?
 <Baruch> "There is this door to hell in your closet, after all."
 <Amaranth> (Sure.)
 <Silas_> (haha)
 <Baruch> (If she doesn't have the lore, she can't roll, right?)
 <Class> "Door to Hell?!"
 <CJ> (Ah, noi Magic Lore. yes can't roll - sorry Amaranth!)
 <Gustbran> (shouldn't she have magic lore, though?)
 <Baruch> "Well, something to the effect of."
 <Class> (Class missed this part for sure)
 <Amaranth> (No problem.)
 <Amaranth> "That was a miserable experience..."
 <CJ> CAlpurnia mutters something about Aetna not Hell, and slams her door
 <Baruch> (Gus: not necessarily. It's different from magic theory.)
 <Gustbran> (no, that was theory of,
 <Silas_> (just magical theory)
 <CJ> She seems to think you are all nuts
 <Gustbran> (yeah, I remember)
 <Amaranth> (Aye, I have good Magic Theory.  Not so much the Lore, though.)
 <Baruch> "Well, doesn't look like there is much we can do. She seemed to be her usual self, though - surely if a demon had possessed her, she would have been more pleasant."
 <Class> "I think you have to bring this up to the Elders in the next days as the main crissis is averted for now"
 <CJ> The stonemason watches you all impassively, shrugs and returns to another room
 <CJ> The grogs look at you
 <CJ> "Is there a problem Mr Class sir?"
 <Amaranth> Speaking to the grogs, gently, "Did none of you hear a ringing noise or feel any vibrations?"
 <Class> "You didn't hear the gong inside of the Tower?"
 <Baruch> CJ: Can I roll to see if I noticed the hammeR?
 <CJ> The grogs look confused, but note they heard nothing unusual at all.
 <CJ> Sure Per+ Awareness
 <Baruch> !roll 1d10+1
 <Magic_Dice> Baruch:  7 :6+1
 <CJ> Spend confidence?
 <Amaranth> "Hm... I wonder about the hammer that one man had.  If anything was going to cause a gong here, it would be a hammer decorated in silver."
 <Baruch> Sure, I spend confidence, I have some.
 <Class> "Ok thanks so inside this tower there was no effect interesting"
 <Gustbran> (haha)
 <CJ> The grogs inform you that is Eluf the Stonemason, who is in charge of repairs here, and indeed all masonry projects in the city.
 <Silas_> (it is the hammer of confidence consumption, looking at it intently removes confidence)
 <CJ> ;)
 <CJ> Baruch do you have Magic Lore?
 <Silas_> (fitting for a criamon tower I suppose ^^ )
 <Ramon> "I leave this for go now have interupted my study for long enough today. have a good night you 2"
 <Baruch> CJ: No. Damn. Thought I had that :D
 <CJ> It is clear to you the hammer he held was not just decorated, but highly enchanted ins osme tradition of magic
 <Class> "I leave this for go now have interupted my study for long enough today. have a good night you 2"
 <CJ> OK,do you or amaranth have music?
 <Ramon> (not again ... today I complet off with 2 chars -.-)
 <Amaranth> "Good night, Class."
 <Baruch> Nope, none of that either
 <Amaranth> (No Music.)
 <Baruch> "Good night."
 <Amaranth> (We're not doing so hot today with these skills, huh.)
 <Baruch> I'll ask the mason about it.
 <CJ> CLass do you have Music?
 <Baruch> "Excuse me, mister stonemason. Would you have heard the rumbling a moment ago? It seems to have originated from here."
 <Silas_> (we never are :p strictly speaking we've caused the death of a British monarch because we are too ignorant and lazy to do much :p )
 <CJ> Eluf has left the room, but BAruch you can go look for him?
 <Class> (No my new char would have but not Class)
 <CJ> BAruch, you find Eluf. He looks at you.  Then inLAtin he says "There was no noise in here. I would have heard it if there was. Perhaps it was outiside?"
 <CJ> He then shrugs, and makes to mkae off home down the stairs
 * Amaranth following Baruch around to hear Eluf's reply, and finding this interesting.
 <Amaranth> "This tower shook the most, yet no one inside felt it... there's definitely a mystery there."
 <Baruch> "Yes. It came from Calpurnia's lab, I'm quite certain of it. But still, why didn't the people here feel it?"
 <Baruch> "Well, nothing we can do about it. Time to head for bed. Perhaps things will become clear later."
 * Baruch heads to sleep
 * Amaranth says goodnight to Baruch, and goes to do the same.
 <Class> From below "Just a thought because they where in the center of the effect? It was the complet tower affected after all"
 <CJ> OK, let us cut to the following morning. Everyone is back from Paris.
 <CJ> I Need a 5 minute break, but please feel free to do a discussion of the events while i'm gone
 <Silas_> (you're sure you want to continue?)
 <CJ> Also everyone from the Chicken run and Paris adventure gets 1 confidence point
 <CJ> Yes, I have a story to run today, if I can get started
 <Gustbran> (ooh!)
 <Baruch> :)
 <CJ> Just give me a few minutes to get some water
 <Silas_> (goodie ^^)
 <Makara> (Do momo need antonious permission to stay?)
 <CJ> I was just trying to wrap up the Paris side thing and get the prelude for what comes next dealth with.
 <CJ> Right brb
 <Baruch> I'll be able to go on a little longer than I thought, but only about an hour from now or so.
 <CJ> No ANtonius will not argue with Momom
 <Gustbran> (brb making a sandwich)
 <Makara> (wise choice)
 <Silas_> (I guess we will be leaving paris?)
 <Makara> (we already leave and come back)
 <Ramon> (OK then we make the introduction of my new char a other time as it will get late enough with what CJ do)
 <Silas_> (Silas was beginning to have this thing for fates after the prophesies of Gororcis(sp) came true, but after the death here, perhaps not so much. Staying the night was a last hope that the city was "meant" to be there)
 <Silas_> (we never really had a mission in paris though, did we?)
 <Silas_> (other than a crazy night in a big town ^^)
 <Ramon> (NO probably Ramon had something to deliver and we where close so he asked if someone whant to join)
 <Makara> (And then a drake attack paris, but it was like, "eww the food taste awful" and flies away)
 <Baruch> (Yeah, I think the night out was the point)
 <Silas_> (thanks apprentices, ruining my one chance of a decent big-city trip
 <Silas_> (I guess a pub crawl is out of the question? :p )
 * Ramon expect that Ramon haved to deliver or pick up in the morning and that was it
 <Makara> (always go with makara and he will lead you away from trouble~)
 <Gustbran> (back)
 <Silas_> (wb)
 <Gustbran> (yummy ham sammich!)
 <Gustbran> (probably came from some poor piggy familiar...)
 <Makara> (or chicken...)
 <Baruch> (Or horse, if it was European)
 <Ramon> (Just make sure its no horse meat ;) )
 <Gustbran> (definately pig ham)
 <Gustbran> (It was deli-cut, from the big thing you roast.)
 <Ramon> (Your so sure about this because the industry put ham together out of lot of small meat pices by now)
 <Gustbran> (unless they add the bones in there...?)
 <Silas_> (what is so bad about horse though ? :p )
 <Gustbran> (it's not that horse is bad, it's that you're paying for a fake)
 <CJ> OK sincere apologies back now
 <Makara> but horse meat is surprior
 <Silas_> (hehe, true, but really, is that what people are complaining about?)
 <Ramon> (its cheaper but not bad. Unless its one of the horses used in tournaments as then they use medicin that is very bad for humans)
 <CJ> Thought might be sick but was ok in end. Just antibiotics upsetting my stomach
 <Silas_> (wb :) )
 <CJ> Midsummer 1215.
 <Ramon> (wb :) )
 <Gustbran> (wb :) )
 * Ramon have left the covenant to barcelona
 <CJ> The streets of the city ear with folks basking in the lazy heat. The pastures are full of happy animals, many with offpspring, and the trees are heavy with furit
 <CJ> Just a few weeks till harvest now.
 <Aiden> (I suppose I'll be petitioning Antonius for pretty please to start a lab.)
 <CJ> ng like bells, and Gustbran has not killed anyone for ages
 <Gustbran> (haha)
 <Silas_> (bwahaha)
 <CJ> One glorious sunny day, hwne no towers have rung like bells, and Gustbran has not killed anyone for ages
 <Amaranth> (I want labby, too. :(  ...WELL GET STARTED ON ANTONIOUS THEN.)
 <Class> (Cj you sow my query?)
 <Class> (err saw I send it from Ramon)
 <CJ> Gustbran, Edith and Silas are sitting in the olive groves, eating their lunch off a small trestle table. Amaranth has been invited, and Baruch too. Class is sleeping in a tree overhead
 <CJ> Momo is dozing, sunning himself nearby, and even Makara has come down to enjoy the food
 <Makara> "I... fricking love... SUMMER! Yeahhhhhh!"
 <CJ> In short you are all about, apaprt from RAmon who is iff travelling, and  Aiden who is in an uncomfortable meeting with Antonius
 <CJ> Butterflies flutter by, as they do, and birds sing as the gentle smell of flowers perfumes the air
 <Makara> "Calpurnia probably hibernating in the cold storage by now." Makara Monologue.
 <CJ> The sun is gloriously warm, but the cool breeze makes everyone comfortable
 * Amaranth is enjoying the food.  Om nom nom.   And the atmosphere.  So nice...
 <Silas_> "yes it was a good idea!" [wraps an arm around Aedith]
 <CJ> Edith starts talking family with Gustbran, and suddenly mentions Anna her sister. Gustbran, you had forgotten all bout your other neice Anna!
 <CJ> When Edith is strong willed and at times violent, Anna was always placid and quiet, but also ferociously strong willed
 <CJ> She knows the secret of the Crown of course, and you hear from Edith that when their dad agreed to dig it up and bury it Anna was furious
 <Makara> (Do Makara have to save another relative of Gustbran?)
 <CJ> She was convinced a terrible curse would fall upon the whole family
 <CJ> And so apparently according to Edith she ran off, and joined a monastery.
 <CJ> Thatw as two years ago.
 <Gustbran> (whoo boy)
 <CJ> Did I say a monastery? That si what Edith said!
 <CJ> "a monastery!"
 * Gustbran is not the most pious christian.
 <Gustbran> "Really?"
 <Silas_> "I am sure they treat her nice..."
 <Class> "HuHu Why would anybody whant to such a stupd thing? I never understand!"
 <Class> (do stupid)
 <Amaranth> "Ah, family."  With some fondness.
 <Gustbran> "No doubt trying to use God to shield herself.. That never works well."
 <CJ> Edith looks indignant. "They mnay treat her nice, but it's all Stephen's fault, and now she has gone and become a monk!"
 <Baruch> "Jesus is taken serious by many, but joyous by only a few. Heard that from a bard sometime, seems to be about right."
 <CJ> Edith to Silas "When are we going to get the crown back?"
 <Silas_> "hum.. yes."
 <CJ> Edith looks  at Baruch and shrugs. "I don't worry much about Jesus, it's good Saint Edmund I trusts in" she says
 <Silas_> "We should look into it, the City's flight makes such planning difficult though..."
 <CJ> Edith "Anyway my sister Anna went off to be a skivvy to th monks at Bures,and I reckon we need to go check she be alright"
 <Gustbran> (this takes place before the protestant reformation, too, doesn't it?)
 <CJ> (Yes 300 years before Protestantism)
 <Gustbran> (Yikes..)
 <Class> "Dont forget he is Archmage and we just mages that passed theyr gountlet recently"
 <Silas_> "We need not fight him, just expose him to the Tribunal"
 <Gustbran> "Well, I for one would love to get even with him for what he did, in whatever way."
 <Baruch> "Although with the shape the Stonehenge tribunal is in, I doubt they'll be able to do much about him."
 <Class> "Yes I suspect political is the only way but the next Tribunal is in nearly 7 years"
 <Silas_> "That is true I suppose..."
 <CJ> Edith to Class "Did not say we 'ad to fight Big Nose the Archmagus did I. Just wanna check my little sister alroight - or is this here city as full of  chickens as that nice old ladies coop?"
 * Gustbran imagines gutting stephan with his spear...
 <CJ> Edith: "We just fly down, check Anna all safe, then leave?"
 <Silas_> "We can check on your sister surely, if you want to."
 <Class> "WE could do so sure when we somewhat clos to the location she lives now"
 <Amaranth> "Well, one should always take care of the family one has.  I think if she wants to see her sister, we should do our best to support that."
 <CJ> "I want to  Silas arrange who is coming!" says Edith and looks gratefully ta Amaranth
 <Class> "Where is the closter she is now?"
 <CJ> Bures in Suffolk, about ten miles from Libellus
 <CJ> That's where the monks are.
 <Class> (where is our city now?)
 <CJ> She went off to become a monk's skivvy
 <CJ> (Over the North Sea)
 <Makara> (No one have swim skill)
 <Class> "Sadly its no simple short trip from where we are now"
 <Baruch> Are we heading in the right direction?
 <Class> "And its allways a hasle to get back when we are away for more then one day"
 <Silas_> "Well, if you would rather do labwork then I won't stop you."
 <Silas_> "Who would want to go, though, when the chance presents itself?"
 <Baruch> "I would welcome a little change of pace."
 <CJ> You are about 18 hours flight in the boat from it, flying parallell right now
 <Amaranth> "I'll come along, if it wouldn't be a bother.  I always welcome seeing a bit more of the world."
 <Makara> "I would, just in case I need to save another grog from destiny."
 <Momo_> *yawn* "I will pass"
 <Silas_> "We might be able to take the boat now, I suppose..."
 <Class> "Now why not Iam sick of seeing the same cultivated landscape every day"
 <Silas_> [beams a smile]
 <Silas_> That's the spirit!
 <Silas_> ""
 <Gustbran> "perhaps it would be wise to ask sir Antonius before taking the boat..."
 <Class> "Have anyone of you learned to find the way back so fare because I didn't!"
 <Baruch> (Oh yeah, there's that :)
 <Silas_> "Of cause, Gust. But let's not let it ruin the spirit"
 <Makara> "I will have to research more into the secret of this covenant first"
 <Baruch> (It was intellego herbam 10, though, I think, so I would be able to spont that)
 <Makara> "It's interesting there's a book about it in the library."
 <Makara> "Wonder who wrote it."
 <Class> (It was In terram 10)
 <Silas_> (We would have an arcane connection to home surely, can't we somehow 'follow that'? in form of an illusion or intellego or...)
 <Baruch> (Class, yeah, but I think herbam would have to be the same level)
 <CJ> "Come on then" says Edith, fgloucing up " Who is coming?"
 <Baruch> (For some reason, people are harder to find)
 <Class> (As mentioned it IN Terram 10)
 * Gustbran senses it would be best to fill his stomach while he can and begins finishing up his food quickly.
 <CJ> flouncing even - that is getting up dramatically
 <Baruch> (Silas, yes, there's an arcane connection from the boat to the covenant, and it can be followed)
 <Silas_> "I think we all are?" [stands up as well]
 <Class> (Silas you have one to your Lab as well thats a usual one)
 <Baruch> "Sure, why not.)
 * Gustbran stands up as well while eating.
 <Amaranth> "Might as well."  I stand up, too.
 <Makara> (we have 10 day to for lab distraction right?)
 <Silas_> (was just worried about finding our way back ^^ )
 <Class> "Could you ask if we can take the boat while I have my eyes closed for bit longer?"
 <CJ> Class is of course dozing, as it's day time
 <Silas_> "Yes, you just get some sleep" [grins]
 <CJ> OK, cut to scene loading the boat - what are you taking?
 <CJ> YOu can fit eight people in it comfortably, twelve at a squeeze
 <Makara> machine gun
 <Amaranth> Kitty!
 <Class> (Cj now is import to answer the query I send from Ramon)
 <Baruch> Enough food for a week or so, what else? I'm donning my flying furs, as always.
 <CJ> (CLass if you sent it in different winodw I can't open it. MY mouse is not working!)
 <CJ> CAn you ask here or emial me?
 <Silas_> (bringing 30 silver and a bit of food in a backpack)
 <Class> (OK Ramon was try to recover the equipment inc. the Airvis bag fromStonehenge at the end of Brauchs adventure)
 <CJ> Kitty is pacing up and down the boat, having grown bored chasing butterflies seem happy t be off somehwere
 <Baruch> Yeah, sure, I'll bring 30 silver as well, just in case.
 <Class> (The one from Class)
 <Aiden> (hmmm. Did I get a lab or get refused? Cuz if not maybe I should show up...?)
 <CJ> (Ah best ask BAruch about that. I don't know what happened in that session)
 <Class> (The question is just now if he got anything or not ^^)
 <Amaranth> (But yeah, bring some food, clothes, money, perhaps a dagger, and the kitty.)
 <CJ> Aiden, you have been granted a lab :)
 <Class> (He left to head to stonehenge near the end so it not up to baruch)
 <Aiden> (yay!)
 <Amaranth> (What, wah, I want a lab too!)
 <CJ> (I'll tell you about it later Aiden)
 <Class> (but it haved to do then because we suposendly didnt get any closer anytime soon)
 <Baruch> (CJ: Yeah, we didn't play the retrieval, Ramon just headed off at one point to do it. I don't know about the vis bag in any case)
 <CJ> (Yes, the Tremere Spy may eventually be given a lab, if Antonius does not throw her off the city first!)
 <Silas_> (I wish I could see the hook that Antonius just got you with)
 <CJ> (OK Class you can have bag back)
 <Class> (Its Air Vis he got at Libelas)
 <Amaranth> (One day, that man will get what's coming to him.  One day... *plots diabolically*)
 <Amaranth> (oo, bold.)
 <Silas_> (Aiden is something of a spy too though, or suspected of such... ^^)
 <Class> (but haved to leave back when the dragon aweakened)
 <Gustbran> (I'll bring some water and food, and a crucifix to seem more pious when he arrives at the monastery)
 <Aiden> (shhh!)
 <Silas_> (mwehehe)
 <Makara> (I will bring like 30 silver, food, spare cloths)
 * Class take some basic equipment including proviant for 2 days with him +1 pawn Air Vis just in case
 <Amaranth> (I'm going to have to go in like, 15 minutes, I'm afraid.)
 <CJ> Thats fine...
10:40:36 PM
 <Silas_> (the rest would likely have been told as a fun attedote)
 <CJ> Who is doing the navigation?
 <Makara_> I will, since my petting skill if off the chart
 <Class> (If we fly in the night Class can do so but not at day)
 <Makara_> is*
 <Silas_> !roll 1d10+2 (steering, int+finesse)
 <Magic_Dice> Silas_, (steering, int+finesse):  8 :6+2
 <Baruch> ( oh, sorry missed that)
 =-= YOU are now known as Makara
 <Gustbran> (I'm keeping watch)
 <Baruch> !roll 1d10+6
 <Magic_Dice> Baruch:  7 :1+6
 <CJ> BAruch said he was flying but Silas has grabbed the helm
 <CJ> Roll gaian BAruch
 <Silas_> (oh, hehe, upps)
 <Baruch> !roll 1d10
 <CJ> Silas is keeping the boat upright, but it is spiralling down
 <Magic_Dice> Baruch: 7
 <Makara> (so 20)
 <Baruch> Baruch flies like he's been doing it for most of his life. Which he has.
 <CJ> OK, and then Baruch takes control, and she flies beautifully - you can really manouver this thing.
 * Amaranth hugs kitty and tries not to make we're going to dieeeeee noises.  Oh, wait, safe.
 <CJ> You plot a course, and then settle back, as hours pass while you flash over the sea
 <Class> !roll 1d10+7 (tell me when my Wilderness Sense says were off)
 <Magic_Dice> Class, (tell me when my Wilderness Sense says were off):  13 :6+7
 * Silas_ takes a seat, slightly flushed
 <Class> (Ups -1 for day)
 <CJ> Occasionally ypou glimpse a ship on the horizon, then some fat black porpoises dancing on the waves
 <CJ> Class knows exactly the course
 <CJ> Eventually you see some sand banks ahead, with waves crashing on them - these would be treacherous for shipping
 <CJ> and sitting on them is a green skinned woman with a green fishes tail, combing her long silky hair while looking in a mirror
 <CJ> Just a mermaid
 <Gustbran> (red hair? ;P )
 <Silas_> "Oh look!" [points to the mermaid as we pass]
 <Amaranth> "How pretty..."
 <Silas_> (wait, my sight... bleh, all I see is vague shapes)
 * Makara taking an afternoon nap
 <CJ> Yes the mermaid has red hair. She has not noticed you.
 <Silas_> (at least it wasn't a siren)
 <CJ> Fishy swoops down and says hello to the mermaid, who greets fishy kindly
 <CJ> He is a flying fish after all
 * Class still try to get some rest even if interupted from time to time to point the right direction
 <Gustbran> (they do tend to do that.)
 <Silas_> (Would be embarrassing to crash a flying ship into the reef...)
 <CJ> Meanwhile the boat moves on, and you see the coast ahead, and a stromng stone tower, a small castle in fact,to your left
 * Gustbran continues looking out for anything that might pose a danger.
 <CJ> As the sunsets fishy flies back (and for some reason kitty and fishy get on very well!) and you are passing in land over rurla Suffolk
 * Amaranth is mostly just enjoying the various sights and sighing over the scenery.
 <CJ> To your north you all see int e last ruby glow of sunset a great stomne castle on a ound, with many maots and ditches, just tot eh north
 <Gustbran> (probably has something to do with the fact that fishy can fly higher that kitty can jump)
 <CJ> Then night has fallen, and Class wakes up
 <Class> "Dont we need to land the thing bevor dusk?"
 <Baruch> (No)
 <CJ> Baruch, you are growing tired, time for someone else to take the helm!
 * Class take over
 * Silas_ pokes Makara
 <Makara> "zzz"
 <Baruch> "Thank you."
 <Class> (what was the roll again?)
 * Silas_ shrugs and sits back with Edith
 <CJ> (Class Int + Finesse)
 <Silas_> (finesse int)
 <Gustbran> (gulp)
 <Class> !roll 1d10+4
 <Magic_Dice> Class:  7 :3+4
 <Makara> (and spin we go)
 <Silas_> (WE ARE GONNA DIE)
 <CJ> As Class takes over the boat ride suddnly becomes rocky. Only sharp claws stop kitty being thrown out, and the boat rolls from side to side
 <Class> (he some bit problems as it feels difernt the real flight)
 <Class> (Confidence enough?)
 <Silas_> [takes a firm grip on the side of the boat and on Edith] "You got it?"
 <CJ> Confiedence would be useful yes
 <Class> (OK sepnd)
 <Makara> "ugha dajghahh"
 <CJ> Edith is hanging on tightly.
 <Amaranth> "Gahhh!"  I rush to try and grab on to kitty and then grab on to something sturdy with my free hand.
 * Gustbran looks for a rope to tie himself to.
 <Class> "Sorry feels complet different then flying as owl"
 <CJ> Suddebly Class gets the nag of things, and you brush the tree tops and start to climb abgain, flashing over a barn with inches to spare, before sailing back up in tot eh skies
 * Silas_ calms down, still shaken, but what can you do?
 <Gustbran> "whoo, a little to close for comfort, there."
 <Gustbran> (*too)
 <Class> (btw if Precision specialisation help +1)
 <CJ> And then it's night, and the countryside is marked only by patches of indigo woods, ghost-like sheep huddles in fields, and chuich towers that loom suddenly haead and need to be avoided
 <Makara> "We should install net on the boat so we won't fall out next time."
 <CJ> Everyone is confident that Class can fly perfectly now.
 * Gustbran looks for someone to stand the next watch.
 <Makara> (+1 confident for everyone? :D )
 <Gustbran> (haha)
 <Silas_> (lol)
<CJ> Just after midnight, you see the towrs of Bury St Edmunds t the north, and realise you are close to Libellus now
 <Silas_> (more like everyone gets -1 :p )
 <Class> (Do I need to keep concentration for steering or can I actrivate a spell inbetwean)
 <CJ> and then, Edith shrieks that's Bures, down below!
 <Amaranth_> (Grr... I hate to go at a plotpoint, but it's 10.  I sadly have to go.)
 =-= Amaranth_ is now known as Amaranth
 <Class> "Do you see a good place where we can go down?"
 <CJ> She is pointing to a tiny hamlet, maybe ten huits and a handful of farms, a large barn and  small stone bulding little more than a cottage, by a tiny wooden chapel
 <CJ> In fact given the wealth and magnificence of all the churches and villages round here, this place looks like it ti s very poor
 <Silas_> (Thanks for coming Amaranth :) )
 <CJ> Class, what kind of place do you want to land?
 <Class> (See you around next week)
 <Amaranth> (Have fun.  Assume Amaranth follows around if at all possible so I can play next time, too.  :)  See ya!)
 <CJ> (Amaranth, catch you soon - we won't play long today - thanks for coming!
 <Class> (river would be great)
 <Gustbran> (bye!
 <Gustbran> )
 <CJ> Class, ther eis indeed a river through Bures, little more than a stream, but you put down gently, not even bothering the ducks who just look at you curiously
 <CJ> OK< boat landed. What now?
 <Silas_> (hehe I can imagine)
 <Makara> (and then the duck will steal our boat)
 <Class> "How fare to walk to the monastry from her?"
 * Gustbran puts on his crucifix
 <Silas_> [to Edith] "Do you know where your sister is staying? - more specificly, that is"
 <CJ> (Well assuming the "monastery" is the stone building, about 5 minutes at most)
 <CJ> Edith looks surprised - in the monastery she says, and nods at the cottage
 <Class> "OK who guard the boat?"
 * Silas_ smirks a bit at Gustbrand's cross
 <Gustbran> "Well Let's go then" [walks toward the building]
 <Silas_> "Can't we hide it in a fog perhaps?"
 <Makara> (let Amaranth  guard?_)
 <Silas_> [looks to Baruch]
 <Gustbran> (amaranth would be an ideal choice)
 <Class> "I would like to go a bit to the sourunding forest as long it is still night"
 <Baruch> "Would you do it, Amaranth?"
 <CJ> You can easily fly in to the woods Class...
 <CJ> Amaranth will agree to guard the boat
 <Class> (Sorry Class drop out of this adventure but need to rolplay him ^^)
 <Silas_> (is fine =) )
 <Class> (Ther is a nice flaw of him why he dont get closer ^^)
 <Gustbran> (hehe)
 <Silas_> "Right, lets see if they will accept us at this hour.."
 <Baruch> "Let us go then." Heads for the monastery-cottage
 * Gustbran leads the way.
 <CJ> OK, outside the cottage you can see the windows are tightly shuttered, but a symbol of a wolf's head on top of a crown is burned in to the wood of the door, and there is a crucifix hanging in a little shelter by the side of the door
 * Silas_ follows Gustbran
 <CJ> YOu can hear people praying inside the cottage
 * Gustbran knocks on the door
 <Silas_> [to Gust in a low voice] "At least they are still awake"
 <CJ> Th door is opoened quite quickly, and a young monk with a handsome face lloks out.
 <CJ> In English "Good evening travellers"
 <Class> (Will prepare my dinner now so AFK)
 <Gustbran> (ok)
 <Gustbran> "Ah! Good evening!"
 <Gustbran> (in english of course)
 <Silas_> [Mimics Gust] "Good evening" [nods]
 <CJ> "If you seek shelter, we are happy for you to sleep in the tithe barn?"
 <Gustbran> "We are looking for a young woman who might be with you..."
 <Gustbran> (what was her name again,, anna, ann?
 <Gustbran> )
 <Silas_> [motions Edith towards the monk]
 <Silas_> (Anna yes)
 <CJ> OK, everyone who is watching his reaction can make a Perception + Folk Ken roll
 <Silas_> !roll 1d10 (no folk ken though)
 <Magic_Dice> Silas_, (no folk ken though): 7
 <Baruch> !roll 1d10
 <Magic_Dice> Baruch: 3
 <Makara> !roll 1d10+1
 <Magic_Dice> Makara:  7 :6+1
 <Gustbran> !roll 1d10 (-1 per, no folk ken)
 <Magic_Dice> Gustbran, (-1 per, no folk ken): 6
 <CJ> The monk looks at you all and nods "Yes Anna, she worked here briefly. She chose to enter the convent at Borley, about eight miles from here."
 <CJ> "She has become a num, taken the vows and all. You won';t be able to see her, unless you are female family"
 <CJ> " no one can"
 <CJ> However I am happy to make you all breakfast and find you beds in our barn?
 <Gustbran> "Well, at least Edith here still can." [further motions to edith]
 <Silas_> "... yes, I think we will take your offer.."
 <Makara> "We should just go there now."
 * Gustbran translates for the others
 <CJ> "you leave at once?" says te monk
 <Silas_> [to Makara] It is late though,..
 <Silas_> "We have a better chance tomorrow, I think"
 <Makara> "hm... alright."
 <CJ> OK, so oyu agree to stay in the barn? :)
 <Gustbran> (yup)
 <Silas_> I think so
 <Silas_> "Baruch, do you think you can cast a fog over our boat, so Amaranth can sleep as well?"
 <CJ> OK, I'll assume you do that
 <Baruch> Yeah
 <Baruch> I will
 <CJ> You have not been in the barn long when an older monk appears with food and beer
 <Class> (back)
 <CJ> There is hay piled everywhere.
 <CJ> Soon after, you hear a discrete knock at the door
 <Baruch> (I have to go in 5min)
 * Gustbran grabs a nice pile of hay.
 <Silas_> "Gust, will you get the door?"
 * Gustbran opens the door a crack.
 <CJ> OK, the young handsome monk stands at the door. He appears distressed!
 <CJ> "Please, you must help me!"
 <Gustbran> "What's wrong!?"
 <CJ> "my beloved Anna - I must be reunited with her!"
 <Gustbran> "Wha... wha... WHAT!??"
 <Makara> (This is why I say we leave immediately)
 * Gustbran opens the door fully.
 <Gustbran> "Please explain yourself"
 <Silas_> "Who is it?" [stands and moves to the door]
 <Silas_> "oh"
 <Silas_> (And skip all these neat sidequests? :p )
 * Silas_ nods to the young monk
 <CJ> "I am Brother Gui. I am here trying to sort out the chapel for Archbishop Stephen Langton, but I fell in love with a servant, Anna, and woud have broken my vows"
 <CJ> "Now I need you to help me rescue her, and escape the Church!"
 <CJ> "She is a prisoner in Borley nunnery!"
 <Makara> (and skip all these sleep and free food :p )
 * Gustbran stands speechless!
 * Silas_ blinks
 * Gustbran translates for the others.
 <Silas_> "Would the archbishop also be a mage, by any chance?"
 <CJ> And i must run I'm afriad, so feel free to sort other stuff out. I'm so sorry I can not stay, but at least you see where the story is going
 <Baruch> Thanks for tonight! We'll pick up from here next time
 <CJ> (Silas, he seems confused by he question, but tells you stephen Langton is a great scholar)
 <Baruch> I must go too, bye everyone
 <Silas_> (It's fine, thanks for the run CJ ^^)
 <CJ> Anyway sorry if bit disorganisem, but I must go immediately
 <CJ> Thanks though!
 <CJ> cj x
 <Makara> thank
 <Class> (OK for such a task Class would have no problem at all even if this means he have to enter the domain of the church ^^)
