8/1/17

01[20:19] <@BradGM> **Finding the Vogt House was easy enough, and the Party met with Roft Vogt as soon as they arrived. The Nobleman spoke of his actions, being deployed near Middenheim. He also stated that he did not visited the Monastery of St-Abelard, ever even having heard of the place. When asked about his arming Sword, he produced it, and even threw a possible lead. He spoke of a place called the Maze in Shantytown, a place rumoured to be so dangerous that the scums don’t even trek there, and mutants patrol in the open, preying on whoever is foolish enough to get lost in the masses of alleys and run-down buildings. 01[20:19] <@BradGM>. Roft told the Party that historically, most trouble Nuln suffered originated from the Maze, if not Shantytown in general. Leaving the Vogt home, the Party thought of their next course of action. Either Roft or Tolzen the Knight bought the sword from the shamed Gerlach Baer, or one of the remaining 4 officers who has yet to returned is being this. Thinking that the Gunnery School might offer more information on troop deployments, and might be more easy to obtain there than with an interview with the Countess, the Party moved toward there, but not before doing a little shopping in the nice part of town. 01[20:19] <@BradGM> Aithorn did a few shops and managed to get his measurements done for a leather armour, while Ulrich bought himself a well balanced two-handed axe. Alexi, feeling the time was right, visited a hatter to get a new headwear to be more presentable when Axe, his kislevite weapon. ** 01[20:19] <@BradGM> **Time is about 2PM. The streets are packed and form the sound for celebrations and numerous petard and fireworks going off here, there and above, people are into the festive mood of Gunpowder Week.** [20:19] <+Ulrich> (which was funny as all hell btw) 01[20:19] <@BradGM> http://dark-heresy.wikispaces.com/file/view/cityofNuln.JPG 01[20:20] <@BradGM> ((and quite confusing for the poor hatter)) [20:20] <+Alexi> ((Alexi wuz chust tryink to be polite)) 01[20:21] <@BradGM> **You are in the 'inner city' of Altestadt, the rich part of the city which is higher up the hill from the other past the Inner wall.** [20:23] <+Siluvaine> ((hmm. It wasn't necesarily Roft or tolzen that bought it, right? Could've been random person? Did we see alot of Nuln bodies in the Abbey?)) [20:24] <+Aithorn> ((About a company, 20-30ish from my memory, we didn't count specifically from memory. i could go reread the log)) 01[20:24] <@BradGM> ((well, it could be someone else true, but only those 3 have returned from the North- the other bodies were armed with Halberds and standard Imperial armour, Nuln coloured.)) 01[20:24] <@BradGM> ((yes, a company of about 30 men)) 03[20:25] * Creak (Mibbit@98.143.h.vs) has joined #shadowrun [20:26] <+Ulrich> "me new axe..I shall name you..."Bone Chewer" 06[20:26] * +Aithorn must be quite the comic sight to the Nulners, constantly looking over his shoulder to make up for the inability to hear anything not shouted over the fireworks. "A herd of gors with long cloaks could march to the palace this week." 01[20:26] <@BradGM> ((the byuer could have been a random buyer as well, but those swords were unique, only 7 such as the one one have remains- the copies having been rounded up and destroyed)) 01[20:26] <@BradGM> ((how can an axe chew?)) [20:27] <+Ulrich> (it doesn't, it just shaters through ribcages) 01[20:27] <@BradGM> **Ulrich's new two-handed Axe is obviously well made, but the design of fogein, like something a Norscan raider would have- minus the desecrating chaos runes of course** [20:27] <+Siluvaine> ((right, I was thinking that random guy could've bought the sword and then lost it at the Monestary, but that doesn't really work with all the Nuln soldiers around)) [20:28] <+Siluvaine> "So, do we attempt to find the maze, or do we try to find out more about their deployments? It might be worthwhile to find out who lost an entire company." [20:28] <+Ulrich> (unless its a chain axe, those things chew through all kinds of stuff :D ) [20:28] <+Alexi> "Dey vould not be in de best uv situations chust now." 01[20:30] <@BradGM> **As said, deployment information might be cofnfidential, so you would to use your imagination to acquire the info.** 01[20:30] <@BradGM> **Oh, and you would still have the note gven to you by Brother Stefan from the Iron Tower as well.** 03[20:31] * Creak (Mibbit@98.143.h.vs) has left #shadowrun 01[20:32] <@BradGM> ((the one that states that you are working on behalf of the Temple of Sigmar and some info/help would be required)) [20:32] <+Siluvaine> "Back to the college?" [20:33] <+Aithorn> "Let's go to the gunnery school for now. Before we have to cleave our way through the Maze-dwellers" 01[20:33] <@BradGM> !roll 1d10 01[20:33] <@BradGM> !roll 1d10 [20:33] <@Diepool> BradGM: 7 [20:33] <@Diepool> BradGM: 5 06[20:34] * +Ulrich blissfully follows the group interesed only in his new axe 01[20:35] <@BradGM> **The area around the Gunnery School is rather calm, as most students are in class right now. The whole area is filled with the sweet taste of cooking coming from all the shops and restaurants around. The celebrations are a bit scaled down, as most are coverd by the constant sound of handgun shooting coming form the school inner yard, where 2 dozen students are training thier firing drill.** 01[20:35] <@BradGM> **Out of the streets and inside the School's walls, the air is filling up with the harsh taste of sulfur and smoke.** 01[20:36] <@BradGM> ((handgun in Warhammer being the musket type weapon not a pistol)) [20:36] <+Ulrich> (low velocity lead balls! whats not to love!) 06[20:36] * +Siluvaine holds a cloth over her nose until they get inside, heading for the records office. 06[20:37] * +Alexi is unconcerned, as it reminds him of battle 01[20:38] <@BradGM> **At the records office, you find the ever bored scribe working on transcripting some information in another book "Yes, what do you need?" He, once again, don't even bother looking up at you as he speaks.** 03[20:40] * Creak (Mibbit@98.143.h.vs) has joined #shadowrun 06[20:40] * +Aithorn casts a doubtful look at Edgerrin 06[20:40] * @Edgerrin doesn't cover his nose until they see the scribe 01[20:40] <@BradGM> ((ha!)) 01[20:41] <@BradGM> ((oh yeah- Edge still got Zeke's pistol and his ten-Counts...not t o mention his Outrider badge of office)) 06[20:41] * +Siluvaine pulls out the letter. "We're investigating for the Temple of Sigmar, and require information on losses the forces here would have suffered." 03[20:42] * Creak (Mibbit@98.143.h.vs) has left #shadowrun 01[20:43] <@BradGM> Scribe "Well, no battles happened at Nuln. I assume you meant the looses The Countess' Army suffered? I am afraid those are confidential information, and I am not autorized to share them, even with the Temple of Sigmar." [20:44] <+Siluvaine> "Who would be authorized to release the information?" 01[20:45] <@BradGM> Scribe "That would be classifed as well." [20:46] <+Siluvaine> "Surely there must be some way." 01[20:47] <@BradGM> Scribe "I'm afraid not." 06[20:47] * +Aithorn nudges Edgerrin 01[20:47] <@BradGM> Scribe "Althought, prhaps some...'imperial intervention' might be of help, hm?" 01[20:47] <@BradGM> ((FYI, you had to bribe him soem normal info last time)) [20:48] <+Aithorn> "The last fire the dwarf set was to a beastman we found in the woods. The longer he's here, who knows what could happen...." 06[20:48] * @Edgerrin starts to look crazy 01[20:48] <@BradGM> **Hmm..** 01[20:48] <@BradGM> **since you're not crazy, roll a charm, +10 for Aithorn setting the scene** [20:48] <@Edgerrin> 6...well crazier 01[20:50] <@BradGM> **Well, y'know what I mean.** 01[20:50] <@BradGM> !dhroll 40 WP scribe [20:50] <@Diepool> BradGM: 97 Failure by 5 degrees! 01[20:50] <@BradGM> ... 01[20:50] <@BradGM> **Try not to fail as hard.** [20:51] <+Siluvaine> ((Come on Aithorn, Break the bot in!)) 01[20:52] <@BradGM> ((No, edge got to roll: he's got a +10 due to aithorn giving some help)) [20:52] <+Aithorn> ((it's Edgerrin's charm test, not mine)) [20:52] <@Edgerrin> !dhroll 19 [20:52] <@Diepool> Edgerrin: 53 Failure by 3 degrees! [20:52] <@Edgerrin> wtf...fate [20:52] <@Edgerrin> !dhroll 19 [20:52] <@Diepool> Edgerrin: 49 Failure by 3 degrees! 01[20:53] <@BradGM> **Edgerrin tries to look crazy, but you all can see that's not really working for you. but the Scribe seems to be quite taken by the Slayer's demeanour. "N-now now, let's remain civil here, no need for harsh actions, but t-there are procedures and such.." [20:54] <+Siluvaine> 'I'm sure the pay we donated still applies." [20:54] <@Edgerrin> "Cut ta da chase. What be yer price then?" 01[20:54] <@BradGM> Scribe "W..well, let's say 5 Crowns?" 06[20:56] * @Edgerrin slaps 5 crowns on the counter. 1"When yer insides don't pop out of ye casue of the chaos we be trying ta stop, ya can thank us lat'r" 06[20:56] * +Ulrich looks up [20:56] <+Ulrich> "5 crowns for what?" 01[20:57] <@BradGM> **The Scribe nervously, if even a little shamely, take the crowns. "Wait here a moment" *He leaves for a few minutes and come back with a large tome "Here are the compiled casualty reports that we have recived until then. I cannot garantee their exactitude, as not all troops returned, some still deployed and others in travel." 06[20:57] * @Edgerrin hands the book to Sil 01[20:57] <@BradGM> Scribe "Now if you'll excuse me, I'll go to the latrines, I'll be back in 20 minutes, please do not damage to tome, nor take it when you leave." [20:57] <@Edgerrin> "Not be a problem" 01[20:58] <@BradGM> **He leaves nervously, leaving you alone with the tome and time to consult it.** 06[20:58] * +Siluvaine nods and opens the book and starts looking for details on the 7, starting with the 3 that are currently in town. [21:00] <+Ulrich> "he is corrupt, we should report him after this. Men like that sow the seeds of the end times" 01[21:00] <@BradGM> **The tome is listed in a rahter complex way, but nothing as different as any merchant's books; numbers in, numbers out, numbers left, numbers right... Roll search: first you can use Speak language (Reikspiel) to add/reduce your search roll by +10/-10 per DoS/DoF.** [21:01] <+Ulrich> (anyone got better reading than my big hairy ass?) [21:01] <@Edgerrin> "He t'iant no more kerupt than the rest of em. Politicains be all the same be a mayor or a scribe." [21:01] <+Alexi> (Me? Read?) [21:02] <+Ulrich> (i got +20 riekspiel and +10 to read too) [21:02] <+Aithorn> ((i can barely hit anything with a sword much less read dem fancy letters)) [21:02] <+Ulrich> (for shame, yoru an elf..yoru supost to know everything :P ) 01[21:02] <@BradGM> ((hourrah for illeteracy!)) [21:03] <+Siluvaine> ((reikspiel is 70,sameiwth search)) [21:03] <+Siluvaine> !dhroll 70 Riekspiel [21:03] <@Diepool> Siluvaine: 44 Success by 2 degrees! [21:03] <+Ulrich> (i dont have search, so go for it.) [21:03] <+Aithorn> "All men, great or small, take the chances that are in front of them. They are no more evil than a wolf who sees a deer." [21:03] <+Siluvaine> ((so +20 on Search?)) 01[21:03] <@BradGM> ((yup)) [21:04] <+Siluvaine> !dhroll 90 [21:04] <@Diepool> Siluvaine: 74 Success by 1 degree! [21:04] <+Siluvaine> 'Better to keep one we know about in place in case we need more information." [21:04] <+Ulrich> "excuses of moral weakness fall on deaf ears" 01[21:07] <@BradGM> **It takes you 15 minutes to find the information on Baer, Vogt and Talzen. Baer was leadinga unit of pistoliers of the Pistolkorps, of the 30 men, 20 were killed, 5 wounded, Baer was charged with cowardness and shameful conduct unbecoming of his Rank, and was sentenced to be flogged and expelled from service. Vogt Served near Middenheim, were 27 died, 3 were wounded, including Vogt. Talzen's unit of knights fared the best;only 3 death, 1 wounded, near the Middle Mountains.** [21:09] <+Ulrich> (well they do have the best armor and horses, so thats not suprising) [21:09] <+Ulrich> (but why would those units take such high casualties? War zone?) [21:09] <+Siluvaine> ((Lots of Beastmen)) [21:09] <@Edgerrin> "How many be there in Vogts company?" 01[21:10] <@BradGM> **Vogt's unit was composed of 33 men, including Vogt. He lead a company of Halberdiers.** [21:10] <+Ulrich> (not unless they where ambushed in the woods, a unit of men is still a formidable thing to face especially pistoliers) 06[21:11] * +Siluvaine trails her finger along the numbers. "33. Do we think the bodies we found were pistoleers or Halberdiers?" 01[21:11] <@BradGM> ((Baer's unti was ambushed by Beastmen, and he did claim he was incfluenced by dark magic to flee, and leaving his men to be killed.)) 06[21:11] * @Edgerrin tries to remember what the dead at the abbey were armed with other than swords. [21:11] <+Ulrich> "where their halberds or pistols and swords on the men you found Edg?" [21:12] <+Ulrich> ( fair enough, forgot that part) [21:12] <@Edgerrin> "I don't remember. Gimme a tick to try." 01[21:12] <@BradGM> **It was only a couple of days ago Edgerrin, they were armed with swords and Halbereds, and they were not young noblemen wearing good armour as well,; those were foot soldiers.** [21:12] <+Aithorn> "There were a few halberds poking out of the mound of bodies from the brief look I got." 01[21:12] <@BradGM> ((a couple in game, but a months or so for us)) [21:13] <+Ulrich> (should our characters be a year older now? lol) [21:14] <+Ulrich> (just thought of that, game time..how long has it been?) 01[21:14] <@BradGM> ((well, 5 months or so pasted, you started in june, now it's about early October)) [21:14] <+Ulrich> (ah ok) 01[21:14] <@BradGM> ((just they're named..this and that month, sorry I don't use the game calendar that much)) [21:15] <+Ulrich> (no worries) [21:15] <+Ulrich> (just makign sure we are not old and decrepid yet) [21:15] <+Siluvaine> "Seems like Vogt then." [21:15] <+Ulrich> (those that are not elves at least) 01[21:15] <@BradGM> **Also, they were a lack of horses at the monastery; the only one you saw there was Zeke's dead mount.** 06[21:16] * +Siluvaine looks to see if there's any indication where the fighting was. [21:16] <+Ulrich> (nothing says shoot me, like riding a horse!) 01[21:17] <@BradGM> **Roll search again Sil, same bonus** [21:17] <+Siluvaine> !dhroll 90 [21:17] <@Diepool> Siluvaine: 1 Success by 8 degrees! 01[21:17] <@BradGM> ((yeah but when you're shooting back from the horse, that's when the fun begins.)) [21:17] <+Aithorn> ((! )) [21:17] <+Siluvaine> ((Flex)) [21:18] <+Aithorn> ((Siluvaine flips through the book with her eyes closed, points to a random spot on a random page, and reads "The Butler Did It")) 01[21:20] <@BradGM> **It's written on the other page that Baer's fighting happened near the southern border of the Darkwald as per the official investigation used at Baer's trial, Vogt reported hismelf on his action and his wounded men are back in Middenheim, Talzen's action in the Middle Mountains was reported by their Grand Master which had a command position during the battle.** 01[21:21] <@BradGM> ((I recall my last Clue game; my brother, sister and me. My brother gets in his first room, call Mr green with the wrench in the kithcen, and t was that. It was the end of Clue for us.)) [21:22] <+Siluvaine> "Seems Vogt reported his position by himself." [21:23] <@Edgerrin> "Did ye say he left 'is men in Middenheim?" [21:24] <@Edgerrin> "So he came back by 'iself" [21:24] <+Aithorn> "Convenient. And a bit worrisome." 01[21:25] <@BradGM> **It states that Vogt did return with an Artillery Train, acting as foot escort. So he did serve in the Nord, or at least went there.** 01[21:26] <@BradGM> **Baer under arrest and gaurd, Tolzen acting as escort for a group of wounded.** [21:30] <+Aithorn> "By the time we could get a message to Middenheim and back to check out Vogt's 'wounded', the Countesses' Ball will be long gone. We will likely need some other evidence." 06[21:30] * +Siluvaine flips through and keeps looking for any information. "Well, he seems to be the best choice." 01[21:31] <@BradGM> **You should have a good 5 minutes left before the Scribe returns. What are you looking for?** [21:31] <+Siluvaine> 'Unit type, losses, can't prove where he was..." [21:31] <+Siluvaine> ((hmm)) [21:33] <+Siluvaine> ((I really can't think of anything, so just sortof flipping through for anything that stands out. btw, are the swords completely identical?)) [21:33] <+Aithorn> ((good question, anything like initials engraved in the hilts?)) 01[21:33] <@BradGM> ((yes, as much as Dwarven workmanship goes, they are, marked the same, and with the same edge and balance; Edgerrin can confirm this.)) 06[21:37] * +Siluvaine glances around. "Circumstantial, but its something I suppose." 01[21:37] <@BradGM> **You flip about for information, Vogt's return was signaled by the Artillery train commander, so it seems to have (more) legitimacy than the wounded and battle report.** 06[21:37] * +Siluvaine looks to see who the artillery commander was. 01[21:38] <@BradGM> **Apart from that, there is little concerning Roft, the only other Vogt information logged is listed as Randolf Vogf, his father.** 01[21:39] <@BradGM> **A certain Robert von Heizmann, Siluvaine.** 06[21:40] * +Siluvaine checks real quick what's listed for his father. [21:41] <+Aithorn> "If Altdorf was any clue, the daemon is growing more active. Let's go see if anything unusual has been going on. If a daemon has come to Nuln, it may show itself." [21:41] <+Ulrich> "check...where?" [21:44] <+Aithorn> "The normal places where gossip collects, I guess? You know humans better than I do." [21:44] <+Siluvaine> "WE can ask the artillery commander that brought him in. Maybe he noticed something." 06[21:45] * +Aithorn nods. 01[21:46] <@BradGM> **He was overseeing the construction of the Magnus Weapon, now stored at 23 Fegelein Street, until he was replaced 2 months ago by a certain Wolfhart von Liebwitz, in the position of the Countess' Marshall.** 06[21:47] * +Siluvaine closes the book and puts it back. "We should probably go before we overstay our welcome." [21:49] <+Aithorn> "Let's be off then, before he charges us 5 more crowns." 06[21:51] * +Ulrich frowns and goes back to oggling his new axe. 06[21:51] * +Aithorn moves towards the door and out to the main courtyard. 01[21:51] <@BradGM> **Outside, the trainee are being drilled, but this time, on how to properly load thier powder charges.** 06[21:52] * +Siluvaine inquires with the guards on the way out where they might find the artillery commander Von Heizmann." 01[21:52] <@BradGM> **Gossip+20 Sil.** 06[21:52] * @Edgerrin follows the group out not before giving a few nervious ticks to the Clerk. 01[21:53] <@BradGM> **You cross him in the halllway. Needless to say, he tries his best to not make eye contact.** [21:54] <+Siluvaine> !dhroll 83 [21:54] <@Diepool> Siluvaine: 60 Success by 2 degrees! 01[21:56] <@BradGM> Guard " y'mean bomb bob von Heizmann? Well, he's usually at class right now, but I saw him leave this mornin' with his students to Aver island with a few mortars." 06[21:57] * +Siluvaine thanks the guard and moves on. [22:00] <+Siluvaine> "Aver island then? And if it was Vogt, why did he tell us about the Maze? Maybe he hopes we'll die there?" [22:01] <+Aithorn> "Indeed, or merely that we'll find something else to distract us for a time. From his description, there would be plenty in the Maze to keep a pious sort busy and we did say we were working for the Church." 06[22:04] * +Siluvaine heads south towards Aver island. 01[22:07] <@BradGM> **Aver Island is far form the sound and public of the City, still there is action to be seen. a group of students are practicing firng mortars into floating barrels on the Aver River, with mixed sucess. The older soldeirs are watching forma distance, more or less amused by the show.** 06[22:08] * +Siluvaine gives the students and the weapons a wide berth. 01[22:08] <@BradGM> **You can spot an aged officer with a veterans' hand seeming giving out orders and intruction over the constant firing of the artillery. The whole area reeks of smoke, powder and sulfur, enough to get in your troat.** 01[22:10] <@BradGM> **The island itself has little in terms of building, short of a barracks, firing range for artilley, and the Barking Dog tavern.** [22:11] <+Aithorn> ((how far out in the river are the barrels?)) 01[22:13] <@BradGM> ((ewe're talking hundreds of meters 100-200-300-400 meters away, 06[22:13] * +Siluvaine puts a handkerchief up to cut the majority of the smell. "He might respond better to a soldier." 01[22:13] <@BradGM> ((hell, even further away even, those are mortars)) [22:14] <+Aithorn> ((oh well...)) 06[22:15] * +Alexi shrugs and will approace the officer, since he's the best candidate [22:16] <+Aithorn> ((go for it!)) 06[22:16] * @Edgerrin enjoys the smell [22:16] <+Alexi> "Hexcuse me. Hyu are von Heizmann, yah?" 06[22:16] * +Siluvaine follows along, glancing around curiously. 01[22:17] <@BradGM> **Alexi, you approach von Heizmann, who turns to face you when you're 5 meters out. You see that the side of his face is scareed, adn one of his eyes is white.* "I suppose you would have a reason to come here, seeing as you are not a student of the Gunnery School!" [22:18] <+Alexi> "Ho yez. Hyu see, Hy yam verking fur de Church und Hy hef some qvestions about a man who kem beck to Nuln vit hyu." 01[22:19] <@BradGM> Von Heizmann "Chruch, which Church?" [22:19] <+Alexi> "Oh, Sigmar. But hyu iz not in any trubble. No verries dere." 01[22:20] <@BradGM> **Roll charm Alexi, +10 due to the Mark, +10 for being a soldier/warrior type (so +20 total)** [22:21] <+Alexi> !dhroll 38 [22:21] <@Diepool> Alexi: 71 Failure by 3 degrees!

[22:24] <+Alexi> "Yah, time iz de enemy uf uz all, Hy know dis. Sadly, Hy hef not de time fur de more conventional methods. Ve hef reason to belief dot der may be a daemon in de city." 01[22:26] <@BradGM> von Heizmann "Well, I'm sure a priest would be better suited for your needs then. Good afternoon." [22:26] <+Alexi> "Hyu hed a man named Vogt kum beck vit hyu." 01[22:28] <@BradGM> von Heizmann "WYes, and what about Vogt? I am certain you can get some appointment scheduled with him at his father's estate." 06[22:28] * +Aithorn steps between von Heizmann and the rest of the students, "The question is brief and our need is great. Please, sir." [22:29] <+Alexi> "Vere did hyu meet hi on de vay bek?" 01[22:30] <@BradGM> **Either Alexi or Aithron roll charm with a -20, since you're insisting on him.** [22:30] <+Alexi> (Aithron probably has the better odds) [22:31] <+Aithorn> ha!

Yes, a Roft Vogt returned with my Artiellry train. He was an officer, good leader, did killed a few Beastsmen who were attacking us on our way back." [22:35] <+Alexi> "But vere did hyu meet him? Ve may hef found his men, und vant to be sure." 01[22:37] <@BradGM> von Heizmann "He joined my train at Middenheim, he said most of his men were killed, the few alive were at the Shallyan hospital there." 06[22:38] * +Alexi glances at Aithorn 06[22:40] * +Aithorn shakes his head sadly. "It was worth the effort. Best let the commander get back to his students before Private Johnson sticks his leg in the mortar." [22:40] <@Edgerrin> "'e say where they were killed?" 01[22:41] <@BradGM> (Johnsonstein! This is Germany!)) 01[22:41] <@BradGM> ((he's got a Bretonnian mother btw, hence Robert)) 06[22:42] * +Aithorn walks back to the others, "He didn't, just repeated the story we read at the university." [22:43] <+Aithorn> ((one of these days, we're going to find a kislevite tavern with the swedish chef working the back room)) 06[22:45] * +Siluvaine nods and starts moving back. "Well." 01[22:45] <@BradGM> **time is about 4 PM now.** [22:48] <+Ulrich> "well this has been a huge waste of time, can we go fight something evil now?" [22:49] <+Siluvaine> "We're trying to find it." 01[22:50] <@BradGM> ((hehe)) [22:51] <+Aithorn> "There is a Bretonnian town called Lochness where legends say a monster hides in the local river, but if you are patient, we may find some thing here worth your time." 01[22:51] <@BradGM> ((or in more French, Loquenèse)) [22:52] <@Edgerrin> ((sounds like a sauce)) 01[22:52] <@BradGM> ((hahahaha)) 06[22:53] * +Siluvaine looks askance at Aithorn. 06[22:55] * +Ulrich looks at Aithorn not sure if he is taking the piss or not.. 06[22:55] * +Aithorn nods over to the Barking Dog and says, "Is that building over there a tavern? Let's go get Ulrich an ale before he decides that we're being too evil." (The last part in elvish to Siluvaine) 06[22:57] * +Siluvaine shrugs. "I am not sure what to do next. I think if we tried to investigate closely we would have the city guard called." 06[22:58] * @Edgerrin chuckles at Aithorn 01[23:00] <@BradGM> **So where to now?** [23:01] <+Aithorn> ((Barking dog tavern, get some rumors? something has to be going on)) [23:01] <+Ulrich> (and you can buy me an ale) [23:02] <@Edgerrin> ((I'll buy you an ale if it's dwarven)) [23:02] <+Aithorn> ((you're the one with the 12 step program, buy your own ale)) [23:02] <+Ulrich> (I have two steps thank yo uvery much!) [23:02] <+Ulrich> (charge and attack!) [23:02] <+Aithorn> ((better than my two, swing and a miss ;) )) 06[23:03] * +Aithorn heads over to the Barking Dog tavern 01[23:04] <@BradGM> **The Barking Dog is close to the Aver island Barracks. You enter isinde and get the usual silent treatment. The patrons all have a military feel to them. Still from the back, near an old canon that's inside the main hall is heard "Oi, McMannus!" Edgerrin, you see the Colonel waving you over.** [23:05] <+Siluvaine> ((There's a short joke there)) 01[23:08] <@BradGM> ((as I suspct Edge will follow to any tavern)) 06[23:08] * @Edgerrin heads over to the colonel's table. 06[23:08] * @Edgerrin grins and gives the man a bear hug 01[23:09] <@BradGM> Colonel "hey hey now, I'd like to have use of my hip!" 06[23:10] * +Aithorn gets a seat to try and hear what is being said around the room [23:10] <@Edgerrin> "wut ya be drinkin' freind?" 01[23:10] <@BradGM> **The patrons return to thier drink and taks as you get to the Colonel's table. Aithorn, roll perception audio -10** [23:10] <+Aithorn> ((order a wine, and listen)) 06[23:11] * +Siluvaine glances around, looking to see if anyone is following them. [23:11] <+Aithorn> !dhroll 61 [23:11] <@Diepool> Aithorn: 45 Success by 1 degree! 01[23:12] <@BradGM> **The Colonel buys you all the first round, if only for the old times on the Emperor Wilhelm.** 06[23:12] * +Ulrich gets his ale and continues to oggle his new axe. 01[23:13] <@BradGM> **Aithorn, it seems the most talk is about the Magnus and about the emperor coming to Nuln for the Countess' Masked Ball; Most seems to be with the city Watch or Garrison,, so that means more work for them durnig a Holiday Wee** 01[23:13] <@BradGM> **Week** 06[23:14] * +Siluvaine is always happy not to be paying. 01[23:14] <@BradGM> Colonel "so, what about the Jewel of the Empire? Haven't had your purses emptied by a merchant yet?" [23:15] <@Edgerrin> "Not yet. Most of me money be spent on drink." [23:16] <+Siluvaine> ((brb)) 01[23:17] <@BradGM> Colonel "Good, the food here is rather questionable. They don't eat aussages because they ike it; it's because it can be conserved longer!" [23:18] <+Aithorn> ((and nobody asks what's in it)) [23:18] <+Aithorn> "Have people been getting sick recently?" 01[23:18] <@BradGM> (('meat')) 01[23:18] <@BradGM> !dhroll 20 [23:18] <@Diepool> BradGM: 5 Success by 1 degree!

[23:20] <+Aithorn> ((all of a sudden, 4 kislevites at a table start singing "Wonderful Spam! Wonderful Spam!" until a waitress(?) tells them to shut up)) [23:23] <+Aithorn> "We've heard rumors of something called the Magnus around town. What is it?" 01[23:25] <@BradGM> Colonel "Ha, the Magnus! The new Weapon from the Forges of Nuln. They say it is 5 times bigger than a grand cannon, and fires explosives ammunition, like a mortar, but in a straight line. And they claimed to have fixed the fuse problem that mortars suffers. No chance of blowing up too early." [23:28] <+Aithorn> "Truly deserving of a special send off then. I'm surprised that Nuln is only having 7 days of revelry." 03[23:30] * MordentHex (MordentHex@32-782-687-776.HINET-IP.hinet.net) has joined #shadowrun 02[23:30] * +Ulrich (MordentHex@63-168-563-613.HINET-IP.hinet.net) Quit (Ping timeout: 250 seconds) 03[23:30] * MordentHex is now known as Ulrich 01[23:30] <@BradGM> Colonel "What, Gunpowder Week?
