Session+Thirty-One

17/3/16 [20:46] <@BradGM> **Returning to the Imperial Inn at midday, the Party had 2 letters of recommendation from Lord Frederik for a Theodora Pferig, ex-With Hunter, and Maximilian Saer, High-end Merchant. They also received a letter of introduction from Hoffer for a Gottri Hammelfist, Witch Hunter, alongside possible assistance (hindrance?) in the future from Hoffer. [20:47] <@BradGM>. Deciding to keep Witch Hunters at bay for now, and doing more personal business, Alexi and Siluvaine dressed-up and met with Saer in his private gardens on the roof of his house, while Aithron, Edgerrin and Ulrich made for the Dwarven Quarter, known as the ‘Little Karak’ in Altdorf, looking for the whereabouts of the runesmith Kargun Gorilsson.** [20:47] <@BradGM> **Edgerrin and Ulrich, join #LittleKarak [20:48] <@BradGM> **Alexi/Siluvaine, you are seated and served by a young pretty servant woman a small glass of Bretonnian crème de menthe, a sweet alchohol with a obvious strong taste of mint.** [20:50] * +Siluvaine takes a small sip, appreciating the flavor, even if it is a bi tstrong. [20:52] * +Alexi will taste it, wishing he had some strong Kislevite whiskey [20:53] <@BradGM> Saer "Now, this letter from Lord Frederik speaks of you as Adventurers? While Alexi here fits the profile partially, you my dear, seems too refined for such bogplay." [20:54] <@BradGM> !dhroll 53 charm [20:54]  BradGM: 24 Success by 2 degrees! [20:54] <@BradGM> **Sil, you can roll WP against Saer' s charm** [20:55] <+Siluvaine> !dhroll 59 [20:55]  Siluvaine: 22 Success by 3 degrees! [20:57] <@BradGM> **He's got manners and charisma, but he's not your first merchant..** [20:57] <@BradGM> ((Can't outmerhcnat the merchant girl!)) [20:58] * +Siluvaine smiles. "Thank you Si. I must admit, it has been trying at times." [20:58] <+Siluvaine> ((sir)) [21:00] <@BradGM> Saer "I have been known to finance adventurers, usually to acquire certain ancient artefacts or rare materials for my business. A few young Wizards are also under my parrainage, as they are a race that seems to gets tier hands on wonderous materials." [21:00] <@BradGM> Saer "Do tell me, of how can I assist you, or is it you who have something for me perhaps?" [21:01] <@BradGM> **Saer smiles while slipping his drink. A servant brings small cookies and other sweets for desserts. "Please, help yourself,my dear guests." [21:02] * +Alexi looks for something a little meatier to eat [21:03] <+Siluvaine> "Well, we had asked Lord Frederik about someone who could supply us with more refined weaponry. Unfortunately recently my quarterstaff was misplaced and I was hoping to replace it with something more..fitting." [21:03] * +Siluvaine looks over the sweets and takes a small sampling. [21:04] <@BradGM> **Sadly Alexi, it seems to be flaky desserts, sugar cookeis, éclairs and the like.** [21:04] <@BradGM> **Roll charm+0 or gossip-10 Sil.** [21:05] * +Alexi frowns and resolves to get a turkey leg when they leave [21:07] <+Siluvaine> !dhroll 43 (Charm) [21:07]  Siluvaine: 30 Success by 1 degree! [21:10] <@BradGM> **Saer seems to be taken aback when you talked about a quartestaff, but seems to quickly change his mind "Ah, a practionner of the Magical Arts are we? My, aren't we full of mystery my dear?" [21:13] * +Siluvaine nods her head slightly as she samples one of the flakey pastries. [21:15] <@BradGM> Saer "Of course, I do have a selection of fine weaponry for Wizards of all kinds, even few more esoteric weapons used in rituals, or taken back from distant lands. Perhaps I might invite you to visit my commerce? It is but a half-hour's walk from here, I would be honoured to escort you." [21:16] <@BradGM> **layers of flaky pastry with whipped creams, cholotate and topped with small crushed nuts and a cherry on top [21:18] * +Siluvaine smiles. "That would be quite splendid. I had expected Lord Frederick to simply direct me to such, but I am glad that my path lead here first." [21:20] <@BradGM> ((adding some charm to that SIl?) [21:22] <+Siluvaine> ((Always!)) [21:22] <@BradGM> **Roll it!** [21:22] <@BradGM> +10 for being a woman** [21:23] <+Siluvaine> !dhroll 53 [21:23]  Siluvaine: 67 Failure by 1 degree! [21:23] <@BradGM> ((Faaaaaate?)) [21:23] <+Siluvaine> ((fate..oh god, don't fuck it up more!)) [21:23] <+Siluvaine> !dhroll 53 [21:23]  Siluvaine: 85 Failure by 3 degrees! [21:23] <+Siluvaine> ((Damn you dice!)) [21:25] <@BradGM> **Saer smiles slyly, and leans back, laughing lightly "Hahaa..oh my dear, you are quite ovely and refined, but I'm afraid I'm quite the stinger when it comes to business; My heart turns to stone, and only ears the sound of crowns, I'm afraid." [21:26] * +Siluvaine smiles. "Of course, as it should be." She glances around at the decoration and the servants. "Of course, I had to try." [21:28] <@BradGM> **He seems quite happy about your liking the decor. After some little cleaning up, if you had nothing else to talk about, Saer will escort you, even if Alexi can see he's more into escorting Siluvaine than him (but he's not impolite about it) to him sotres, a 3 story house-turned store connected to a warehouse.** [21:29] * +Alexi would be offended at the implication that HE needs escorting :) [21:30] <@BradGM> ((hahaha)) [21:31] <+Siluvaine> "Most impressive. It is no wonder Lord Frederick sent us this way." [21:31] <@BradGM> **Saer takes you to the second floor, in a corner, where a selection of fine weapons, form decorative ones to real two-handed swords to weapons you never seen before.** [21:32] <@BradGM> Saer "Yes, we meet occasionnaly at the Bocage club for cards. Good head for numbers this man." [21:33] <+Siluvaine> "And a most impressive manor." [21:34] * +Siluvaine walks slowly, looking at the various weapons and objects. [21:34] * +Alexi glances at the weapons but his happy mit his axe [21:35] <@BradGM> Saer "Yes, he is from Ostland, a rather rich and powerful family I'd gather, at leasst that may explain his membership to the Gorgogne." [21:36] <@BradGM> **There are a few Weapons that look like axes Alexi, but they seems to lack any from of curve to help build momentum.. Nice looking, but seems..lacking.** [21:38] * +Siluvaine continues to look, looking to replace her quarterstaff. [21:39] <@BradGM> **There are numerous quarter staff Siluvaine, some are quite ornamented with engravings, well balanced, and the tips and rehinforced with metal as well. Others appears a simple pieces of twisted wood, but appears much more tense and heavy when you pick it up.** [21:41] * +Siluvaine looks over both styles. Considering the use her former staff got, she's not planning on skimping on the replcement. "Quite exquisite work." [21:43] <@BradGM> Saer "Yes, The best in the City, I even have some exported wood from Bretonnia for those ones *he points a few models*, and those were made by dwarven workmanship.** [21:44] * +Siluvaine skips the dwarven manufacture for obvious reasons. [21:46] * +Siluvaine eventually settles on a metal shod one, considering her recent issues with beasts and demons. [21:48] <@BradGM> Saer "Ah, quite a reliable choice, popular a well with the more militant Wizards I've been told!" [21:49] <@BradGM> **So, 3 shilling times 10 for best quality comces to a wooping 1 crown and 10 sillings...** [21:50] <@BradGM> **You would gain a +5 to WS when you use it as well; both in attack and for parries (on top of the +10 for defensive, for a +15 when parrying** [21:51] <+Siluvaine> "One never knows when one must deal with those that are..unelightened about the natural order of things." [21:52] * +Siluvaine checks the balance, makes sure it fits her hands and purchases it gladly. [21:53] <@BradGM> Saer "Well, if magic won't get it, this quarterstaff will...failing that, I am certain your companion's axe will be up to the task." [21:54] <@BradGM> Saer "or perhaps I might intrest you in another? Kislevite axes are nice, but this season's seems to be all about tilean." [21:55] * +Siluvaine smiles. "I believe that this is all for me for now, unless my companion has seen anything he likes." [21:56] <+Alexi> "Hy yam heppy mit mine axe, tank hyu." [21:58] <@BradGM> Saer "Are you certain? A Bretonnian Horse Axe, worn handle up, would help accentuate the allonged effect your hat gives your face, it can only go better. *he tursn toward sulivaine* "Wouldn't you agree my dear?" [21:59] * +Siluvaine gives Saer a long suffering look on her face with an eyeroll towards Alexi, as if to say "See what I have to put up with?" [21:59] <+Siluvaine> "Oh yes, quite. One must always look their best." [22:00] <+Alexi> "Dot is not a horse axe. Hyu cannot chop a horse down vit dot fiddly thing." [22:01] <@BradGM> Saer "Ah..no, it's designed to be used while on horseback.. Bretonnians loves thier horses." [22:02] <@BradGM> **Indeed, it seems a little long on the handle and little on the actualk blade; mmomentum and speed must be doing most of the work with this one.** [22:03] <+Alexi> "Meh. Hy do not vite vrum horsebek. Hy vould be laffed out of meadhalls hif hy used someting dot tiny." [22:03] <@BradGM> Saer "Of course, of course.." [22:03] <@BradGM> ((anything else you would like to talk to saer about?)) [22:03] <+Siluvaine> "Alas it seems my companion is deadset on his current favorite. Still, it was a productive day I hope?" [22:04] <+Siluvaine> ((nope. Siluvaine would just like to get out of there without Alexi insulting Saer or the group leaving a bad taste in Saer's mouth heh)) [22:04] <@BradGM> Saer "Oh quite, my dear. but I must admit, I am quite intrested in hleping your studies. perhaps we can discuss your studies over dinner tonihgt?" [22:05] <+Alexi> (why do you think he's keeping his mouth shut most of the time?) [22:05] <@BradGM> Saer "I do have planned of having Goose." [22:06] * +Siluvaine considers then nods. "That would be most welcome." [22:07] <@BradGM> Saer "Ah, excellent. Please arrive for 8" * he looks at you up and down* "I would say dress accordigngly, but that would be redundant." * he hand kisses you before saying his goodbyes.** [22:08] * +Siluvaine sees him off with a smile and a promise to be there. [22:09] * +Siluvaine heads out with Alexi and starts to make them way back to the Inn. "Well, that was better than expected." [22:10] <+Siluvaine> ((brb, need to throw something in the oven before starving happens..5 minutes)) [22:11] <+Alexi> "He seems to be pampered city person. Hy dun know hif he teks no for an answer." [22:13] <@BradGM> !roll 1d10 [22:13]  BradGM: 5 [22:13] <@BradGM> **Ah the merchant's sector, and the horrible smell of rotten meat..** [22:14] <@BradGM> !dhroll 100 [22:14]  BradGM: 3 Success by 9 degrees! [22:14] <@BradGM> ((wow)) [22:16] <+Siluvaine> ((Back, sorry)) [22:17] * +Siluvaine winces and digs the cloth out and holds it up to her nose. "No wonder the wizards work such magic. Or else living here would be..." [22:17] <@BradGM> **As you make your way to the Imperial Inn, you see a mass of Watchmen blocking a street at an X intersection, as a riot is underway! "Down with the Flour Tax!" "Think of the poor bakers, are they gonna be forced to used dirt like Halflings piepeddlers?" "How can dirty politicans tax something as white as flour! Outrage!" [22:18] <+Siluvaine> "I wonder if the others have had any luck. Atleast nothing has popped out of the ether." [22:19] <+Alexi> "No, chust normal city riots. Dese people is soft." [22:20] <+Siluvaine> "Maybe after living here for a while they just become angry at everything." [22:20] * +Siluvaine continues on, riding carefully, keeping an eye out for anything bad. [22:21] <@BradGM> ((you guys only had that since you came in town; that and a whislte with a running watch patrol..)) [22:22] <+Alexi> (yeah, but there were riots in Mordheim too) [22:23] <@BradGM> ((true, but those were crazy people riots, this is just Altorfer riots.))

[22:27] <+Alexi> (heh) [22:28] <+Alexi> (Alexi wouldn't join a riot, but he'd damn sure finish any that involved him) [22:29] * +Siluvaine continues on, holding the cloth to her nose. "We'll have to get to the temples eventually. They may be the only way to find the dagger. If their records are worthwhile. [22:29] <+Siluvaine> osay " [22:30] <+Alexi> "Hy dun hef much faith in de temples after Mordheim." [22:30] <@BradGM> ((yeah well, murder is still frown upon in altdorf,..))

[22:40] <@BradGM> ((going toward 6 PM)) [22:40] <@BradGM> ((5:45-5:50 like)) [22:41] * +Siluvaine avoids eating for now, and glances around. "Hopefully the others didn't get into a riot." [22:42] <+Alexi> "Hy dun *think* dey iz dot schtupid. Hy culd be wrong, tho." [22:45] <@BradGM> ((No, of course not.))

[22:48] * +Siluvaine arranges for a room and a bath before she has to go out again tonight.

EDGERRIN AND ULIRCH ENTERS LITTLE KARAK [20:50] <@BradGM> **As you walk past the Imperial Fortress, a simple square stone structure with only firing slits all over and the Imperail Seal over its large open door, you come across a large arcway, obviously of Dwarven constrction. Edgerrin would see those as similar, and smaller to the large arches signalling the entry of mountain Karaks.** [20:51] <@BradGM> **To the ear, and eyes, the crowd seems to be smaller and wider in tstature, and Reikspeik is getting drowed more and more by Khazalid** [20:53] * Edgerrin listens to the sounds feeling more at home.
