17/9/15

[20:13] <@BradGM> **Searching of the smuggling cave revealed a few useful clues; first numerous sets of clothing, including a robe for an Ulrican priest, second the book itself held by the Cult Leader and finally, a small barrel of Skaven manufacturer from which a faint greenish glow is coming from. [20:13] <@BradGM> Taking a bed frame as a makeshift stretcher, the party left the cavern and decided to rest a while in the abandoned warehouse. Their rest was cut short by sounds of panic as the early morning streets were taken by mobs of scared burghers with word of a mutant outbreak coming to their ears. [20:13] <@BradGM> Deciding to reach the Temple of Ulric now, The party came across a Watch patrol, which they quickly enrol as an escort to reach the Temple safely-but at the same time, informing them of their relation with the Temple of Ulric. Greeted by a small cadre of Teutogen knights, Alexi saw they are actually part of a hardcore unit called the Brotherhood of the Axe. [20:13] <@BradGM> Edgerrin and Alexi disarmed (minus their dagger) and went into the Throne room to meet High Priest Liebnitz in an audience while the others remained in the anti-chamber, surrounded by Knights.** [20:15] * +Siluvaine coughs. [20:15] <@BradGM> **The Throne room iself is a large domed stone hall where a multitude of wolf skins lie on the floor, chairs, tables and even the wall to act as tapistry. Four tall and large men with long beards and hair, Alexi sees them as members of the Brotherhood of the Axe as well, stand ceremoniously at attention, their plate armour's gauntlets resting on the hilt of thier two-handed hammers.** [20:16] * +Alexi is respectful as he walks up [20:17] * @Edgerrin remains quiet [20:17] <@BradGM> **High Pirest Liebnitz is sitting on a massive throne of oak, covered with half dozen giant pelt as big as poneys. Liebnitz looks at you with deep staare as you walk up to him. "So, I send you to stop a panic, and a panic is what I have when I woke up?" [20:18] <@BradGM> ((sorry mom on phone)) [20:18] <+Alexi> "Ve din' schtart dot von. Hy dun even know how it did." [20:20] <@BradGM> ((k back)) [20:21] * +Aithorn is just being available, humming a song to himself. [20:21] <@BradGM> Liebnitz "Then what DO you know, Kisletive?

[20:22] <@BradGM> **In the anti-chamber, the six Knights stand watch and are immobile, looking at Siluvaine lying there and Ulrich working on her. aithron seems to be..below them.** [20:22] * +Siluvaine coughs.
