Session+Fifty-Six

25/9/16 [20:35] <@BradGM> **The Battle raged on; the Bestigor Leader took a nasty swing at Alexi, cutting his face, but more importantly, his hat. The Kislevite kept the pressure and soon enough, the Leader lied dead, the remaining Gors tried to escape, only to be cut down as they ran. While patching up and clearing the place, the mysterious bowman advanced; it was Aithorn’s oldest brother, Maedhros, in bad condition, but still fighting on against the heardhost that killed most of his kithband. [20:35] <@BradGM>. After some quick reunion, the Elf brought Aithorn and Ulrich to a small bear cave where Lindara and Imhol were hidden. Ulrich proceeded with patching up Lindara and cutting off Imhol’s gangrened leg, before returning back to the Monastery. Meanwhile, Alexi, Edgerrin and Siluvaine took care of burying the Elven heads Aithron took form the Beastsmen, and began a little investigation. [20:36] <@BradGM> While the Abbey was visibly desecrated and used as a resting place for the now dead Gors and their Leader, the trio decided to concentrate on the standing tower. Using their might, and then their weapons, Alexi and Edgerring broke the door open, landing on a small depot of tools and lumber. Climbing to the top, they found 6 dead monks, having committed suicide by hanging. They also found a semi-recent journal, describing a secret passage near the alter, than gave into a chamber of Relics, including one that match the description of the Chalice of Wrath, third and final Artefact that hold Xathrodox’s essence.** [20:38] <@BradGM> **Aithorn, Ulrich, Maedhros and another Elf approaches the ruined monastery, dragging a makeshift stetcher which hold another Elf.** [20:40] * +Siluvaine glances at the newcomers, then towards the abbey. [20:41] * +Aithorn makes introductions all around, Maedhros, Lindara, and Imhol [20:41] <+Aithorn> "Siluvaine, did you find it here? Or does the search continue? [20:42] <+Siluvaine> "We found indications of where it was months ago. We haven't had a chance to look yet though." [20:42] <+Ulrich> (could you describe the Beastman leader's dead body to me, im looking for a war trophy.) [20:42] <+Ulrich> (maybe a new cloak) [20:43] <+Ulrich> (at the very least, somethign to bring back to the temple as an offering) [20:43] <@BradGM> ((Large, beastely, with a goat-like face but with bull-like horns, wearing the Beastsman equivalent of a full mail armour. [20:44] * +Siluvaine heads for the abbey, careful just incase there's still anything hanging around. [20:44] <@BradGM> ((Oh, the head is a usual proof for the bounty hunters, so that woud be good enough)) [20:45] <@BradGM> ((Speaking of; Alexi can alwayys chop the heads and bing them back to the Imperial fortress for a bounty, if he doens't mind waiting)) [20:46] <@BradGM> ((as the bureaucracy is quite long there)) [20:46] <+Ulrich> (sound good to me) [20:46] <@Edgerrin> ((have we checked the Abbey alter yet as the book directed?)) [20:47] <+Alexi> ((Dot verks. Have to boil de skin off to stop de smell)) [20:47] <@BradGM> ((no, Sil is going toward the abbey now)) [20:47] <+Ulrich> (just stuff em in a sack :) ) [20:47] * @Edgerrin heads to the Abbey [20:47] <@BradGM> **The Abbey the Abbey's decorartive art is rather sinister, the Gargoyles have an almost deamonic look, and even repressentation of Sigmar seems rather sombre and baneful. Inside, the place have been thoroughly desecrated. Every image or symbol of sigmar lie either in ruin or marked with symbols of Chaos/Khorne, written in blood and feces. Feces which there is a rather large pile on the central altar. Benches and funitures are moves all over the place, where the Bestigor and his Gors toughs were sleeping. [20:47] * +Aithorn will go with Siluvaine and Edgerrin [20:48] <@BradGM> ((Do you guys have a sack?)) [20:48] <+Ulrich> (doubt it, but we can look around) [20:48] <+Aithorn> ((i have one written down as being in the communal supply)) [20:48] <+Ulrich> (there we go!) [20:49] <@BradGM> **If you are looking near the feces covered Altar, roll search+30.** [20:49] <@Edgerrin> !dhroll 68 [20:49] <@Diceling> Edgerrin: 60 Success by 0 degrees! [20:49] <+Ulrich> "alexi, help we with these beasties, we could get some kind of reward for killing em" [20:50] * +Siluvaine glances around and tries not to look too closely at the symbols as she searches for the trap door. [20:50] <+Siluvaine> !dhroll 70 [20:50] <@Diceling> Siluvaine: 95 Failure by 2 degrees! [20:50] <+Siluvaine> ((Bleh)) [20:51] <+Alexi> "Hokay." [20:51] * +Alexi will remove heads with Axe for cleaning [20:51] <+Siluvaine> ((Actually..sorry, with the +30 that would be 100, so...pass by 5 ! )) [20:51] <@BradGM> **Siluvaine's searching limit itself to her looking; she's not too keen to playing into Beastsmen shit. Edgerrin is less stuffy about it, and manages to find the secret lock that opens up a trap door into the floor behind the altar.** [20:51] <+Ulrich> "that big basterd you just killed, take his head off, i'll get the others" [20:52] * @Edgerrin looks in the trap foor [20:53] * +Siluvaine peers down into the area beneath the floor as she digs out her lamp. [20:53] <@BradGM> **Narrow, stone stairs leads to a darken chamber some meters below. It smells like enclosed air, but not like death, unlike here.** [20:54] <@BradGM> **The room seems to have been tampered with, as you see scrolls, papapers, and some blood trails.** [20:54] <@Edgerrin> "Ladies first," 6 Edge says jokingly [20:55] <+Ulrich> (we got a sack of beastman heads, and parts as proof of kills) [20:55] <@BradGM> ((One Bestigor heads, 6 gor heads)) [20:55] * +Siluvaine lights the lamp and motions to the blood trails. "Better get everyone else." [20:56] <+Ulrich> (hard to get all the heads as that dwarf hammer rather smashed em in nicely) [20:56] <@BradGM> **As Ulrich and Alexi chops away, Lindara' seems rather disgusted as the barbarity of it.** [20:56] <@BradGM> ((True; make that 5 Gor heads)) [20:56] <@BradGM> ((Brave Siluvaine run away..)) [20:57] <+Siluvaine> ((She's not running away, she's sending the dwarf to get the others :) )) [20:57] * +Ulrich see's her disgust "do not judge to harshly, they are worth gold as proof of kills" [20:57] <+Ulrich> " and gold helps us kill more of them" [20:58] * +Ulrich drags the remains of the gors and leader into a pile for burning [20:58] <+Alexi> "Und dis von owes me a new hat." [20:59] <+Ulrich> "you could make a new helmet out of its skull probably" [20:59] <+Ulrich> "if you where so inclined" [20:59] <+Alexi> "Dot vould not be a proper hat." [20:59] * +Ulrich shrugs [21:00] <@Edgerrin> "you guys comin'. We found a secret passage in the abbey." [21:00] <+Ulrich> "help me build up a pire to burn these whoresons" [21:00] <@BradGM> Lindara "Humans, always motivated by wealth." [21:00] <+Ulrich> 'eh? secret passage you say?" [21:00] <+Alexi> "Hokay. Ve needs to treat de skullls so dey don't stink." [21:00] * +Alexi bristles [21:00] * Retrieving #shadowrun modes... [21:01] <@Edgerrin> "Yeah." [21:01] <+Alexi> "Hit iz not about money. Hy needs a hat. All good varriors hef hats. De bedder de hat, de more impawtent hyu are." [21:02] * +Ulrich walks towards Lindara [21:02] <+Ulrich> "look, are we going to have a problem here?" [21:04] <+Ulrich> "your in a human temple with humans, deal wit it or leave" [21:05] <@BradGM> **Lindara seems taken aback by your bluntness. "I would have expected this from him *points toward Edgerrin*, but not one who tends to the wounded flesh." [21:05] * @Edgerrin heads back to the abbey [21:06] * +Siluvaine is waiting by the trapdoor. [21:07] <@Edgerrin> 'They be dilly dalling" [21:07] <+Ulrich> "your attitude is trying, if you have nothing useful to say, be quiet" [21:07] * +Aithorn walks out to stand next to Edgerrin, "Clearly this is going to be more difficult than I thought. It is easy to forget that not everybody has learned the lessons that you have. I would beg for your patience with my kinsmen, Edgerrin, you have proven your worth to me, but your folk have a bad reputation among mine." [21:08] <@Edgerrin> "Eh, no offense, I be used ta it." [21:09] * +Ulrich grunts an walks back to making the pire [21:09] * +Siluvaine rolls her eyes. "They're dilly dallying when we might have another demon waiting around to be born?" [21:09] <+Ulrich> "go ahead we will catch up" [21:09] <@Edgerrin> ((we're already gone)) [21:09] <@BradGM> **Maedhros and Lindara and exchaning words in Elven.** [21:09] <@BradGM> ((Brave heroes, arguing to the very bitter end)) [21:09] <@Edgerrin> "shione the light in the door lass, i'll climb down." [21:10] <+Aithorn> ((of course)) [21:10] <+Ulrich> (of course! as logn as we pull each other out of the fire in the end, its fun!) [21:11] <+Ulrich> (its a warhammer soap opera minus all the incest!) [21:11] * +Aithorn goes back down to the hidden basement with Edgerrin and Siluvaine, "Let's go see what we may, we have our own search to do." [21:12] <+Aithorn> ((Ulrich, you just yada-yada-yada'ed over the best part!)) [21:12] <@BradGM> **Edgerring goes down the stairs, lid up by Siluvaine behind him. You enter a small room, 2 meters wide by 10m long. with a door at the end. The sides are filled with stone shelves, that hold smamshed religious items and relics, blood covered and worthless. Chests and piles of old parchemins, walked on and reduced to nothing lies here and there. At the cneter of the room stands an empty pedestral, with only a circle cut in the dust, with a few droplets of dried blood. A sword, the bladed stained with dried blood, lies on the ground.** [21:13] <+Ulrich> (the best part? which was? lol) [21:13] <@BradGM> ((Ulrich is a member of an organised religion, he's all about the Karls now!)) [21:13] * @Edgerrin picks up the sword and examines it [21:13] <+Ulrich> (yeah, got to make money for da temple!) [21:13] <@BradGM> **Roll trade (Smith) +10** [21:14] <@BradGM> **Sil, roll magic sense** [21:14] <+Siluvaine> !dhroll 79 [21:14] <@Diceling> Siluvaine: 33 Success by 4 degrees! [21:14] <@Edgerrin> !dhroll 64 [21:14] <@Diceling> Edgerrin: 24 Success by 4 degrees! [21:16] * +Aithorn looks at the blood on the sword, trying to tell if it is human or beastman [21:16] <@BradGM> **Siluvaine, you sense something magical coming from under a small, wooden chest that's broke open on the ground. Edgerrin, you can see that the good quality sword is of recent manufacturing, no older than 10 months old. The blood seems to be been dried up for a good 7 months or so, so about the time the monastery got attacked. You also can see the maker's mark on it, under the handle.** [21:16] <@BradGM> **Roll outdoor survival _10 Aithorn.** [21:16] <+Aithorn> !dhroll 41 [21:16] <@Diceling> Aithorn: 39 Success by 0 degrees! [21:16] * @Edgerrin looks at the mark [21:17] <@BradGM> **It seems to be human blood as it lacks the characteristic blackness of Beastsmen Blood.** [21:17] * +Ulrich looks at Alexi "thats burnign nicely, we should go help the others and come back to get our skulls" [21:18] * +Siluvaine frowns and moves over to the wooden chest, using her quarterstaff to move it out of the way to see what's beneath. [21:19] <@BradGM> **Edgerrin, the mark seems to be of a Dwarven type, like modified rune of sorts; it has no meaning, short of it being a 'unique' marking; perhaps to stand out? Nevertheless, this is Dwarven made for sure.** [21:19] * @Edgerrin will keep the sword for now. [21:19] <@Edgerrin> "what have ya found lass?" [21:19] <+Siluvaine> "I'm not sure yet." [21:20] * +Ulrich heads down to meet up with the others [21:20] <@Edgerrin> "Ya need 'elp?" [21:20] <@BradGM> **Siluvaine you move the small chest to reveal some piece of parchment and a pair of stiff-looking leather gloves. They seems to be covered in light engraving that emanates some magical energy or sorts.** [21:21] * +Siluvaine kneels down next to them and tries to study them closer. [21:22] <@BradGM> **Roll academic knowledge (Magic) Sil.** [21:22] * +Aithorn nudges Edgerrin, "That looks like old human blood rather than beastmen? What sort of victims did you find here?" [21:23] <+Siluvaine> !dhroll 60 [21:23] <@Diceling> Siluvaine: 82 Failure by 2 degrees! [21:23] <+Siluvaine> ((Fate)) [21:23] <+Siluvaine> !dhroll 60 [21:23] <@Diceling> Siluvaine: 30 Success by 3 degrees! [21:24] <@Edgerrin> "none here. Upstairs was fulla dead monks." [21:25] <@BradGM> **By the way the Winds flows into the engraving, you deduce that the gloves can alter the wearer's prowess and strenght** [21:25] <@BradGM> ((+10 to WS and Str- which inturn affects your SB)) [21:26] <+Aithorn> "Were they run through or does our mystery deepen?" [21:26] * +Siluvaine picks up the gloves carefully and looks at them left and right as she studies them. "Huh." [21:27] <@BradGM> **The parchemin with them seems to be untouched, perhaps it was inside the chest, so it got spared somehow by the unkown desecrator's wrath?** [21:29] * +Siluvaine picks up the parchment and looks it over. "They were hanged. Hung? Something. Didn't look too closely to see if they were stabbed." [21:30] * +Aithorn is reminded, looking at the gloves Siluvaine is holding to put on the gloves taken from Old Zeke the Roadwarden before the other elves get a good look at his hand. [21:30] <@BradGM> **It is an old piece of papaper, but well conserved; it recalls the tale of the gloves; they were made by a certain Gerald of Middenheim, one of the first Wizard trained by the Elf Teclis. Gerald made those gloves for an Edward, his bodyguard. After a life of serving him, at the Wizard's death, Edward became a monk at St-Abelard and donated his gloves to be stored with the other Relics of the Monastery.** [21:30] <@BradGM> ((ha!)) [21:31] * +Ulrich walks down "what di you guys find?" [21:31] <@BradGM> **DEspite the gloves being well over 200 years old, they appears to be quite new, by the stiffness of the leather.** [21:31] * @Edgerrin will check the door [21:32] <@BradGM> **Ulirch, you are surrounded by desecration and smashing Sigmarite relics and ancients items!** [21:32] <@BradGM> **Also, there's the door at the back end of the room** [21:32] <+Ulrich> (well that is sure to piss me off) [21:32] * +Ulrich looks around in disgust [21:32] * +Siluvaine tucks the parchment away in her bag before slipping the gloves on. [21:33] <+Ulrich> "heretics..." [21:33] * +Ulrich looks around to see if anything can be salvaged from this blasphamy [21:35] <@BradGM> **Roll search -30 Ulrich!** [21:35] * +Siluvaine looks over the sword carefully. [21:36] <@BradGM> **The Sword is quite plain, if only a good quality one** [21:37] <@Edgerrin> (9Edge cheked the door)) [21:37] <@BradGM> ((oh sorry)) [21:37] <+Siluvaine> "Well, maybe we'll find the answer behind the door. Though the note said something about one of the inhabitants of the abbey pricking his finger on the Chalice." [21:37] <@BradGM> **Edgerrin, the door seems to be untouched, the padlock on it having something to do with it.** [21:38] * @Edgerrin will listen at the door then check the padlock [21:38] <@BradGM> ((Ulrich: if you got under 0%, you still got 1% chance, you are a hero after all)) [21:38] <+Ulrich> (pfff) [21:38] <+Ulrich> (search is int?) [21:39] <@BradGM> **You hear..nothing. The padlock is a well made one, of dwarven manufacture. Roll picklock -20 to unlock** [21:39] <@BradGM> ((Yes Ulrich)) [21:39] <+Ulrich> !dhroll 1 [21:39] <@Diceling> Ulrich: 51 Failure by 5 degrees! [21:39] <+Ulrich> (thought so) [21:39] <@Edgerrin> !dhroll 34 [21:39] <@Diceling> Edgerrin: 25 Success by 0 degrees! [21:39] <@BradGM> **All have been smashed, stepped on, covered in blood...short of praying to consecrate the remains, threre is little to be salvaged.** [21:40] * +Ulrich starts praying to consecrate the remains [21:41] <+Ulrich> (in between fits of rage fualed profanity of course) [21:41] <@BradGM> **Edgerrin takes a couple of minutes working the complex dwarven mechanism. Behind the doors lies a small room, with a large coffer, a small desk, chair, writing kit, a candle holder with half a cnalde on it, 3 candles with 11 matches in the desk, a book. and a small image of Sigmar on the wall.** [21:42] <@BradGM> **The coffer is locked** [21:42] * @Edgerrin will check the desk firwst for a key and if no such luck try to pick the lock on the ocffer [21:43] <@BradGM> **There is no key, so roll picklock [21:44] <@Edgerrin> !dhroll 44 [21:44] <@Diceling> Edgerrin: 6 Success by 3 degrees! [21:44] * +Siluvaine glances around at the study. "Not...exactly what I expected." [21:44] * +Siluvaine looks around for anything written down. [21:44] <@Edgerrin> "I be the nimble fingered slayer" 6he says with a laugh [21:44] <@BradGM> **Edgerrin picks the quite simple (and old) lokc no the coffer and opens it; inside, you find numerous bags of gold Crowns, shilling and brass pennies!** [21:45] <@Edgerrin> ((woot!!!)) [21:45] * @Edgerrin stares at the loot [21:45] <@BradGM> **Siluvaine, the book details the finances of the Monastery; despite being isolated, the selling of thier wine seems to be quite profitable (not like monks are big spenders after all). The last entry speaks of the finanaces being up to the ammount of 300 Crowns.** [21:46] <@Edgerrin> (how big is the coffer?)) [21:46] <@BradGM> ((Oh, 1,2 meters wide but ,5 high but .75 wide.)) [21:46] <@BradGM> ((a big one)) [21:46] <@BradGM> ((foot locker type, but in wood and medical like)) [21:48] <@BradGM> ((Would still need 2 men to carry it about)) [21:48] <@Edgerrin> ((k)) [21:49] <@BradGM> **Roll WP Edgerrin** [21:49] * +Siluvaine puts the book back. "well, that's interesting. Not what we're looking for, but interesting." [21:50] <@Edgerrin> !dhroll 48 [21:50] <@Diceling> Edgerrin: 3 Success by 4 degrees! [21:51] <@BradGM> **As you stare at the money and think of all the riches, you get a sudden flash of the people of Suderburg who have loss all of thier crops to the Beastsmen and have no way of surviving the winter.** [21:51] <@BradGM> ((Your conscience uses morals! It's super effective)) [21:52] <+Ulrich> "we should give some of that money to the locals at least" [21:52] <@Edgerrin> "wuz thinkin' the same thing." [21:53] <+Ulrich> "i don't however think they need 300 gold to survive the winter" [21:53] <+Ulrich> "100 gold would probably be enough to get them through this rough patch" [21:54] * +Aithorn heads back out to the courtyard to try and calm Lindara down before she sees a dwarf and a human carrying a chest of coins. [21:54] <@BradGM> ((hahaha)) [21:54] * +Ulrich is smiling ear to ear [21:54] <+Aithorn> ((we won't mention cleverly sneaking out before having to lift such a weight up those stairs)) [21:55] <@BradGM> **Lindara was watching over Imhol, who at least stopped moaning and seems to be getting actual rest.** [21:55] * +Siluvaine glances around, holding her handkerchief to her mouth as she searches for the chalice. [21:56] <@BradGM> **Siluvaine, by the description of the journal, the chalice was on the empty pedestral where yu see a clean circle in the dust and and few blood drops, as old as the blood on the Sword Edgerrin collected.** [21:56] <@BradGM> **Maedhros was watching to the horizon, toward the circling corws up North, staring into the woods.** [21:57] <@BradGM> **Both seems to be distant of Alexi, cleaning his Axe after all that head chopping and collecting.** [21:57] * +Siluvaine looks behind the pedestal and checks around the area. "MAybe whoever dropped the sword got the chalice. We'll have to search the entire Abbey closely." [21:58] * @Edgerrin will search the desk thouroughly for any secret compartments [21:58] <@BradGM> **You see nothing out of the unsual Siluvaine.** [21:58] <@BradGM> **Roll it Edge.** [21:58] <+Ulrich> "we seem to have found everything but what we came here for." [21:59] <@Edgerrin> !dhroll 38 [21:59] <@Diceling> Edgerrin: 31 Success by 0 degrees! [21:59] <+Ulrich> "maybe we should divide this gold up between each other now, nothing says rob me like a big chest full of coins" [22:00] <@BradGM> **You search the desk and find no hidden compartment nor anything hidden within it Edgerrin.** [22:00] * @Edgerrin will pull the picture of Sigmar down and check behind it [22:00] * +Alexi is treating it like slaughtering animals at a ranch [22:01] <+Siluvaine> "I'll bow to your knowledge on that." [22:01] * +Aithorn asks Maedhros what he thinks the crows could mean, and tries to explain to Lindara what little he has picked up regarding the differences between elven and human economics [22:01] * +Ulrich mubles "snarky elves" [22:01] <@BradGM> **The Image of Sigmar seems quite normal; perhaps the only holy symbol left in the area as everything else was destroyed or desecrated.** [22:03] <@BradGM> Maedhros "I have seen the place; it is where the monks bury thier dead, yet there are remains of those who knew only horro as they past into the next realm." [22:03] * @Edgerrin will hang it back up and silently say a prayer in respect [22:03] * +Siluvaine checks over how much in coinnage there is. [22:04] <@BradGM> !dhroll 100 [22:04] <@Diceling> BradGM: 24 Success by 7 degrees! [22:04] * +Ulrich watchs her to make sure none accidently slip into her coin bag [22:04] <@BradGM> **If you start to count it, it will take some time siluviane.** [22:05] <@BradGM> **Time wise, it is abut midday.** [22:05] <+Siluvaine> ((She'll do the gold atleast)) [22:06] <@BradGM> **Roll evaluate+10 thanks to your merchant background.** [22:07] <+Siluvaine> !dhroll 70 [22:07] <@Diceling> Siluvaine: 3 Success by 6 degrees! [22:07] <@BradGM> ((Shiiiiit..) [22:07] <+Siluvaine> ((See, it pays off!)) [22:08] <@BradGM> **Siluviane gets to counting the money; she only opens up the opens and counts the Crowns, only handling and groping the smaller coinage; still she's quite confident that there's 324 Crowns's worth of all three coinage in the coffer.** [22:08] <@BradGM> ((opens up the bags.) [22:09] <+Ulrich> "put aside 100 for the village, they need that money to survive. Please" [22:09] <@BradGM> ((Well, a step further toward that costly armour or peice of gear)) [22:09] * +Siluvaine finishes up and glances around. "100 to the town you said? I'd suggest we give them the smaller coins. It would be easier for them." [22:09] <@BradGM> ((haha)) [22:09] <+Ulrich> "agreed, 100 in smaller coinage" [22:10] <+Ulrich> "anyone disagree?" [22:11] <@BradGM> **As there is only you, Edgerrin and Siluvaine, safe to assume everyone loves the Gold** [22:11] <+Ulrich> "thats about 44 gold each" [22:12] * +Siluvaine sets aside the 100 in the smaller coins, with gold crowns to make up the difference, while splitting the rest into piles of 44..48 for her. [22:12] * +Alexi doesn't have that much concern for gold, aside from needing some armor [22:13] <+Ulrich> "don't be trying to take more Elf, your greed is well known" [22:13] <@BradGM> ((racist)) [22:13] <+Siluvaine> "Handling surcharge." [22:13] <@BradGM> ((check your human priviledge)) [22:13] <+Ulrich> "carrying surcharge" [22:14] <@Edgerrin> "Then i want a finder fee. and an opening fee fer both locks." [22:14] * +Ulrich winks at Edge [22:14] <@BradGM> ((like I said, edventueres..)) [22:14] <+Ulrich> "seems we all all even on effort, split it even." [22:15] * +Ulrich goes to check on his roasted skulls [22:15] <+Ulrich> "hows the heads coming along? they done yet? [22:16] <@BradGM> **Roll outdoor survival Alexi** [22:16] <+Alexi> "Hit iz not simple verk. Hyu dun vant de innards leaking out und schmelling tings op."

[22:21] <@Edgerrin> ((so we looted the coffer and are carring the money up seperately?)) [22:22] <+Siluvaine> ((Well, if you want, she could've just split it up, and you could carry the coffer up)) [22:22] <@Edgerrin> (two man job to get it up the stairs)) [22:23] <@BradGM> ((And both Ulrich and Aithorn left the Room, leaving only Edge and Sil down there.))

[22:37] <@BradGM> **You search Sil, around the abbey, but find nothing of note; perhaps someone did leave with the Chalice after all?** [22:37] * +Ulrich walks over to Aithorn "the villagers gold is on Sils horse, make sure she does not "forget" I't will keep them from perishing to Father winters fury" [22:38] <+Ulrich> "or at least give them a fighting chance to survive" [22:39] * +Aithorn nods, "Unless you want to make the walk back to Sudenberg even longer and camp in the woods, Imhol will need a horse to carry him back." [22:39] <+Ulrich> "a horse in his state would be very painful" [22:40] <+Ulrich> "let me check on him, I could pray to ease his suffering if that is allowed" [22:40] <@BradGM> **You can always rig the stretcher to sil's horse and just pull it as well** [22:40] * +Ulrich looks pointedly at Lindara [22:41] <+Aithorn> ((That was what I had in mind)) [22:41] <+Ulrich> (will still hurt like hell, lol) [22:41] <@BradGM> **Lindara is still near Imhol, watching over hiM** [22:41] * +Siluvaine comes back from the Abbey and shakes her head. "Someone must have found it first. Does that sword tell you anything, Edgerrin?" [22:41] <@BradGM> ((he's unconscious anyway..)) [22:42] <+Ulrich> (lets keep him that way, i'll go pray over him) [22:42] <+Ulrich> "with your blessing?" [22:43] <@Edgerrin> "tis a nice sword. Dwarven made. It has a symbol on the 'ilt. Could be the smith." [22:43] <@BradGM> **Lindara looks at you, and simply nods.** [22:43] <@Edgerrin> "Or a rune" [22:44] <+Ulrich> "could you find me a sprig of holly Aithorn? It will help" [22:44] <@BradGM> ((Oh, but rune I meant a normal, non-magical rune- a rune is like a letter in the Dwarven langugage)) [22:44] <+Ulrich> "your ability at wild herbs and searching is better than mine" [22:44] * +Aithorn nods and goes off in search of some holly.
