26/5/16

[20:13] <@BradGM> **Taking the rest of the evening off, the Party split up come next morning; Aithorn and Siluvaine will meet Master Klemperer to get a letter or a contact at the Amethyst College, while Alexi, Edgerrin and Ulrich went near the University sector, looking to buy more healing draught and medical supplies. [20:13] <@BradGM> The Elves managed to get a letter of introduction and the location of the Amethyst College, while the others found a little apothecary shop to buy and place their order in the surprisingly calm and deserted streets, for Altdorf that is. Thinking wrongfully that the Elves are somewhere in the University, the trio began searching the campus for them to no avail. Meanwhile, Aithorn and Siluvaine were but a few streets away, having a bead on the mysterious cloaked and hooded woman whom Siluvaine noticed following the Party for a day or so. [20:13] <@BradGM>. She is using some sort of magic of mutation to be able to have her physical presence dissolve from view. Using the pedestrian traffic and the streets to hide, they managed to have her 20 meters away, unaware of the ambush she is about to walk in.** [20:14] <@BradGM> **Alexi, Edge, Ulrich, join #AltdorfU [20:15] <@BradGM> **Aithorn, Siluvaine, the shadow woman is 30 meters away, sorry. Siluvaine, you lost sight of her, but Aithorn can still 'see' her still.** [20:16] * +Siluvaine frowns and attempts to find her again, hopefully using her odd effect on the crowd to figure out in general where she is. [20:17] <@BradGM> **Magic sense -30 Or perception Visual -30** [20:18] * +Aithorn will keep running to try and get close [20:18] <+Siluvaine> !dhroll 40 (visual) [20:18] <+Diceling> Siluvaine: 23 Success by 1 degree! [20:19] * +Siluvaine follows Aithorn, gripping her quarterstaff tightly. [20:19] <@BradGM> **Aithorn; you guys actually hid in front of her; she is coming toward you** [20:20] * +Siluvaine lies in wait! [20:20] <@BradGM> **You still want to dash out of cover and go for her?** [20:20] <+Aithorn> ((i guess i need to go back and re-read the end of last week's session, I thought she had already seen us and was moving away)) [20:21] <+Aithorn> ((but in short, no, if she hasn't spotted us, then I'm going to keep hidden and wait)) [20:22] <@BradGM> **Ah my bad; yes she was walking away; so yes you can go after her; make an agility test -20 to not get the crowd in the way.** [20:22] <+Aithorn> !dhroll 34 [20:22] <+Diceling> Aithorn: 8 Success by 2 degrees! [20:22] <+Siluvaine> !dhroll 31 [20:22] <+Diceling> Siluvaine: 96 Failure by 6 degrees! [20:24] <@BradGM> **Aithorn cuts through the crowd as if they were trees in the forest..Siluvaine on the other hand, knocked some peddler's pack down, and she's got a yelling peddler to content herself with!** [20:24] <@BradGM> **Aithorn, you're 20 meters away now. roll perception visual -30 to keep your eyes on her.** [20:24] * +Siluvaine curses and tries to move on with hasty apologies, attempting to keep Aithorn and the woman in sight. [20:25] <+Aithorn> !dhroll 31 [20:25] <+Diceling> Aithorn: 70 Failure by 3 degrees! [20:25] <@BradGM> **FAte the roll Aithorn?** [20:25] <@BradGM> **Roll it again Sil.** [20:25] <+Aithorn> !dhroll 31 die all, die merrily [20:25] <+Diceling> Aithorn: 5 Success by 2 degrees! [20:25] <+Siluvaine> !dhroll 31 [20:25] <+Diceling> Siluvaine: 59 Failure by 2 degrees! [20:26] <@BradGM> **You can't see her Sil, but you can see Aithorn and he's like a bloodhound on the trail! Aithorn, the woman begins to run in the streets; you see the poeple moving away almost instinctively. roll agility -20 again to close up the distance.** [20:27] * +Siluvaine curses again and tries to keep Aithorn in sight. [20:28] <+Aithorn> !dhroll 31 [20:28] <+Diceling> Aithorn: 15 Success by 1 degree! [20:29] <@BradGM> **Aithorn's hot on her heels; 10 meters and closing. Sil, you can roll again to spot her; Aithorn, you get a pass thanks to your 2 DoS.** [20:29] <@BradGM> **Oh Sil, roll agility-20 as well to move in the crowd!** [20:30] <+Siluvaine> !dhroll 31 (Agility) [20:30] <+Diceling> Siluvaine: 58 Failure by 2 degrees! [20:30] <+Siluvaine> !dhroll 40 (perception) [20:30] <+Diceling> Siluvaine: 25 Success by 1 degree! [20:31] <@BradGM> **It seems like everyone's there to hinder you..still you can catch glimpse of the woman, just a little past Aithorn.** [20:32] <@BradGM> **Aithorn, the woman keeps on running; she pushes a woman onto the way, hoping to cause you trouble!** [20:32] <@BradGM> **Agility -30 for Aithron, still -20 for Sil. Aithron, roll to spot her as well; Sil, you get a pass this turn** [20:34] <+Aithorn> !dhroll 35 (perception) [20:34] <+Diceling> Aithorn: 5 Success by 3 degrees! [20:34] <+Siluvaine> !dhroll 31 (Agil) [20:34] <+Diceling> Siluvaine: 41 Failure by 1 degree! [20:34] <+Siluvaine> ((Ffs)) [20:34] <+Aithorn> !dhroll 24 (agility) [20:34] <+Diceling> Aithorn: 30 Failure by 0 degrees! [20:36] <@BradGM> **You move to evade the woman, but she shifts to get up and cuts your running short! You can now see clearly the woman, and she runs away, now 25 meters away, unopposed by the crowd. Siluvaine is a little behind, dealing with a burly Dwarven stonecutter moving his donkey oh-so slowly.**** [20:37] <@BradGM> **You can both try another agility -30 test to catch up as a last push, else she might turn a corner and dissapear from direct vie.** [20:37] * +Siluvaine curses Dwarves and their asses. [20:37] <+Siluvaine> !dhroll 21 [20:37] <+Diceling> Siluvaine: 83 Failure by 6 degrees! [20:37] <+Aithorn> !dhroll 24 (agility) [20:37] <+Diceling> Aithorn: 25 Failure by 0 degrees! [20:40] <@BradGM> **When you curse the ass, it curses back..or in this case, farts and let loose a road apple. Aithorn, you break form the woman and make chase; sadly she turns around a corner and as you turn around yourself, you see a sea of people, mostly students, filling the streets to gicve it the usual altdorf look.** [20:40] <@BradGM> **You do spot some fancy hat moving a head above everyone else though.** [20:40] <+Alexi> ((Hit hiz a nize hat!)) [20:41] <+Aithorn> ((fabulous!)) [20:42] <@BradGM> **Indeed as it approaches you see that it is Alexi and the others.** [20:42] * +Aithorn shouts out "Alexi! Look out!" [20:42] <+Alexi> "Vot!?" [20:42] <@BradGM> **Sil, you can manage to get back to Aithorn after the Dwarf and his ass finally move out of thee way.** [20:42] * +Alexi looks around [20:42] <+Ulrich> "whats going on?" [20:42] <+Aithorn> ((Alexi needs this hat: http://www.sportsblink.com/product_images/chevy-chase-three-amigos-autographed-photograph-3358601.jpg)) [20:42] <@BradGM> **Alexi, you see..nothing!** [20:43] <@BradGM> ((with some feathers)) [20:43] * +Siluvaine looks around, studying the winds, seeing if she can spot the woman again. [20:43] <@BradGM> **Or well, nothing that seems to warrant such stress.** [20:43] <@BradGM> **Roll it Sil.** [20:43] <@BradGM> **-30** [20:44] <+Siluvaine> !dhroll 39 [20:44] <+Diceling> Siluvaine: 37 Success by 0 degrees! [20:45] <+Ulrich> (wow diceling is playing nice today) [20:45] <@BradGM> **You can cleary see that the woman made a smart move and ran off from your view- for now.** [20:45] * +Siluvaine grumbles. "Damn, lost her." [20:46] * +Aithorn starts down the street, trying to spot a glimpse of the woman again through the crowd [20:46] <+Alexi> "Ve hef been looking vor hyu two. Vot vas de problem?" [20:48] * +Siluvaine keeps an eye out for her. "That woman that's following us. We thought we had her, but she disappeared." [20:48] <+Alexi> "Zo, she iz beink all schneaky und sottle?" [20:48] <@BradGM> **Aithorn, you concentrate, but since you had Siluvaine to help her narrow your view at first, now it is almost impossible to do.** [20:48] <+Siluvaine> "No, she actually disappeared." [20:49] <+Alexi> "Oh, mit der magik den?" [20:49] <+Aithorn> "We noticed that we were being followed again, so we tried to set a trap. Unfortunately, she managed to get away. We gave chase as best we could, but she was smart and the crowds are slow." [20:49] * +Ulrich scowls "damned witch's" [20:50] * +Aithorn curses the thonda that got in his way [20:50] <@BradGM> ((do I love the crowd..)) [20:51] <+Ulrich> "is that all?" [20:51] * +Siluvaine eyes the dwarf at the witch's comment. "So far. What are you doing here? Did you get my potions?" [20:52] <+Ulrich> (lol) [20:52] <@BradGM> ((that was Ulrich- man that dwarf and his ass really affefcted you)) [20:52] <+Siluvaine> ((its really important now, now that the GM stole all my money!)) [20:52] <+Alexi> "Ho yez, ve got dem." [20:52] <+Ulrich> (im not a dwarf) [20:52] <+Aithorn> "If the Emperor grew people like the Bretonnians grew bocage, he could do no better than the streets of Altdorf." [20:52] <@BradGM> ((no, only half)) [20:52] <+Ulrich> :P [20:52] <+Alexi> "Vell, ve got zom uf dem. But ve kin gets de rest uf dem no problem." [20:52] <+Siluvaine> ((Same difference!)) [20:53] * +Aithorn kicks at a pebble in frustration... [20:53] <@BradGM> ((still, thank for reminding me of that, I'll have Ulrich and Alexi roll as well)) [20:53] <@BradGM> **It dosn't even make a fett that it hits someone's leg and falls right back at your feet Aithorn.** [20:54] <+Aithorn> ((I'll wait for the fireworks)) [20:54] <@BradGM> ((hahaha)) [20:54] <@BradGM> ((hey, thank Edge's for his suggestion- sure adds more realisim and weihght on the robbery)) [20:55] <+Aithorn> ((no argument there, and as a player, i agree with it, as a character, it still stings a bit)) [20:55] * +Siluvaine looks around. "Some of them?" [20:57] <+Alexi> "Ho yez." [20:57] <+Siluvaine> "what did you get and what's the plan for getting the rest?" [20:58] <+Alexi> "Ve gots two uf de healing potions, und ve vere goink beck to get de rest after ve found hyu." (pretty sure that's right) [20:59] <@BradGM> ((Yup- Ulrich got your 2 draughts Sil, his 2 are to be ready this afternoon)) [21:00] <+Ulrich> "here, I'll get the others later" [21:00] <@BradGM> ((Everyone got everything else they needed a well from the apotecary woman IIRC)) [21:00] * +Ulrich hands her the draughts [21:00] <+Ulrich> "don't get shot in the mean time" [21:01] * +Siluvaine shrugs and tucks away the pots. "Any change?" [21:01] <+Ulrich> "no" [21:02] <+Siluvaine> "We were on our way to visit the Amethyst College when we spotted the woman." [21:04] <+Ulrich> "if we are done here, I have business to attend" [21:05] <@BradGM> !dhroll 37 [21:05] <+Diceling> BradGM: 68 Failure by 3 degrees! [21:05] <+Ulrich> "and there is no way in hell im going to meet a death wizard" [21:05] <+Alexi> "Chust be careful, hokay? Hy dun vant to hef to go lookink vor hyu und find a pincushion." [21:05] <+Siluvaine> "Several of them possibly." [21:06] <@BradGM> ((We'll have a death Wizards' Party)) [21:06] * +Ulrich smiles Maybe im the eone going off to do the poking? " [21:06] <@BradGM> ((and I'm not saying everyone's a necromancer in D&D)) [21:07] <+Aithorn> ((ain't no party like a death wizard's party! 'cuz a death wizard party reanimates and don't stop!)) [21:07] <+Ulrich> "i'll see you all back at the Inn" [21:07] <@BradGM> ((and they even got thier theme songs, the bastards https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FeZftK2kO6U )) [21:08] <@BradGM> ((partial theme song)) [21:08] * +Siluvaine shrugs. "Good bye then." [21:10] <+Ulrich> "waves, good luck to you all, Ulric protect you" [21:11] * +Aithorn turns around and kicks the rock one more time. "Off to the college then? At least there will be fewer of these thonda there." [21:12] * +Siluvaine nods and starts walking back towards the college. "Indeed." [21:12] * Retrieving #shadowrun modes... [21:13] <+Alexi> "Hy vill come vit hyu. Chust in case." [21:14] <@BradGM> **So, The Elves and Alexi off to College, Ulrich back to the II (Temple of Ulric too?) Edgerrin, going for Little Karak?** [21:14] <+Ulrich> (yup) [21:15] * @Edgerrin will ask ulrich before he goes, 1"Ha long ye expect yer biznes ta take?" [21:15] * +Ulrich "i have no idea" [21:15] <+Ulrich> "as long as it takes" [21:16] * @Edgerrin nods [21:16] * @Edgerrin follow the rest of the group [21:18] * +Siluvaine continues on back towards the Amethyst College. "I..wouldn't try to draw too much attention to yourselves." [21:19] <@BradGM> ((she said nonchalantly to the wodd elf, the Kislevite with the impressive hat and the Dwarf Troll Slayer)) [21:20] * @Edgerrin starts whistling non chalauntly. [21:20] <+Alexi> "Hy yam de definition uv sottle." [21:20] <@BradGM> **You reach the Amethyst College. It is a black stoned building, where the spires ends in a rather old fashiooned, gothic style. Perched gargolyes overlook the streets from thin, high windows. The High Spries seems to have flocks of birds circling about, but on second look, it is a sawrm of bats circling about. The large arched doors are open, as well, giving to a dusting, abandonned interior. [21:20] * @Edgerrin points bakc towards where Ulrich went. 1"I aint the grumpy one anymore." [21:21] <@Edgerrin> "nice place this be." [21:21] <@BradGM> ((hahah)) [21:21] <+Ulrich> (lol) [21:22] <+Aithorn> ((does that make you bashful, sneezy, or doc?)) [21:22] <@Edgerrin> ((dopey)) [21:22] <@BradGM> ((dopey? He was the whistling one)) [21:22] <@BradGM> ((ha!)) [21:23] * +Siluvaine makes sure to have the letter out as she approaches. [21:23] * +Aithorn very cautiously inspects the doorway before getting too close [21:24] <@BradGM> **The door way is open, and like said, it gives into a large dusty, abandonned entrance hall** [21:25] <@BradGM> **TherE's no guards, no Wizard, no nothing.** [21:25] <@Edgerrin> "This be a school or a tomb?" [21:26] * +Siluvaine takes a moment to study the winds. [21:28] <@BradGM> **The Winds of purple wind Amethyst rolls around the College, penetrates it and flows through it as it was both the source and the sea.** [21:28] <+Aithorn> "It seems like it could be both, no? " [21:29] * +Siluvaine shrugs and steps inside. [21:30] <@BradGM> **Siluvaine gets in, passes the treshold and dissapears from thin air.** [21:30] * +Alexi looks at the others [21:30] * @Edgerrin blinks [21:30] <+Alexi> "Vell...dot vould be vun vay uf beink private." [21:31] * +Aithorn very gingerly and tentatively touches the portal ((think stargate)) [21:31] <@Edgerrin> "Da we need ta search fer her or that be the way thez wizards say 'allo?" [21:32] <@BradGM> **Your hands passes the treshold..and it's still there, it didn't go throught some weird portal or anything.** [21:33] * +Aithorn stares at a his hand a bit before looking at Edgerrin, "There's only one way to find out." And walks through. [21:34] <@Edgerrin> "Damn" 6 and follows Aithorn. [21:34] * +Alexi shrugs and follows suit [21:34] <@BradGM> **You see Aithorn walking past the threshold..and standing there, in the dusty, abandonned entrance hall, just 4 feet away from you.** [21:35] <@BradGM> **Now you're all three there, stnading in the entrance hall, with only the sunlight coming in the door to light you. Needless to say a few citizens are looking at you funny.** [21:35] <@BradGM> **Siluvaine is not there** [21:37] <+Aithorn> "I have seen some strange things since Middenheim, but this is something new." [21:37] * +Aithorn (hyarion.ce@71.181.ymo.isq) Quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) [21:38] <+Siluvaine> ((It was too much for the forest elf's mind!)) [21:38] <@Edgerrin> ((great now he thinks hes a wizard)) [21:39] <+Alexi> "Hoy der, ve vere escorting a friend uf ours." [21:42] * Aithorn (hyarion.ce@71.169.ouu.rzn) has joined #shadowrun [21:42]  ((sorry about that folks, my internet just fritzed out for a bit)) [21:43] <+Ulrich> !roll1d10+42 [21:43] <@BradGM> **Suddenly, even faster than a blink of an eye, you are into the same dusty entrance hall, expect it is illuminated, clean and not deserted; you are facing 6 Wizards with purple robes and heavy hood, each armed with a schyte. Siluvaine is besides you as well.** [21:44] <+Alexi> "Ah. Der hyu are." [21:44]  "Where is 'Der'?" [21:45] <@BradGM> **Behind you, you can see the busy Altdorf street, just past the treshold.** [21:45] <+Siluvaine> "Ah." [21:45] <@BradGM> **A loud, cracking echos "You are within the halls of the Amethyst College! You would do well to know your place!" [21:46] * +Siluvaine glances at her companions. "I'm sure they do. Thank you for granting an audience." [21:47] <@BradGM> **He makes a hand motion, and 3 of the Hooded Wizard leave, 2 seems to take guarding stances. One advances toward you. "Please, follow." [21:48] * +Siluvaine nods. "Thank you, we will." [21:49] * +Siluvaine follows the hooded wizard, glancing around curiously. [21:49] * Aithorn looks around in a bit of wonder as the streets of Altdorf fade as they get deeper into the college. [21:49] <@BradGM> **He takes you down a black stone wall, quite clean. Bats are sometimes flying overhead, and insent fills the air; where it not for thier purple robes and schyte, the College as a similar air to a Temple of Morr.** [21:51] <@BradGM> **You are taken into an small office. There are few furtinure, save the simple wooden table and chairs, and a small altar to Morr in a corner.** [21:52] * +Siluvaine looks over the scythes as they move through the College. Atleast the office is somewhat normal. [21:52]  ((rumors tell of a place overgrown with living plants, built in a minimalist sort of way, dedicated to a god who opposes Morr at every turn, the Temple of Less )) [21:54] <@BradGM> ((Oh my, the parlour will love you aithorn)) [21:55] <@BradGM> **The Wizard sits after you "So, what of this knowledge of the utmost importance that you seek amongst Us?" [21:58] * +Siluvaine considers for a few moments. "We seek the knowledge to destroy certain...artifacts. Our investigations have lead to an Amethyst Wizard, but not who she is." [22:00]  "We have been told she has spent much time abroad.. adventuring for lack of a better term..." [22:01] <@BradGM> Wizard "We do know have much in terms of destrucive powers when it comes to artefacts. are you certain you do not truly seek one of the Light?" [22:02] * +Siluvaine shakes her head. "Not that they have professed." [22:03] <+Siluvaine> "It seems to be rather specialized knowledge." [22:03] <@BradGM> Wizard "And...why?" [22:05] <+Siluvaine> "We were tasked with dealing with these artifacts by the Churches," Siluvaine grimaces slightly, "In Middenheim. Our search lead us here, where we found an artifact that had been locked away. Alas, it can't be moved, and must be destroyed." [22:07] <@BradGM> Wizard "And the ending of this artefact may reside within those halls? How poetic." [22:08] <+Siluvaine> "The knowledge for such, yes." [22:11] <@BradGM> Wizard "And of this..artefact?" [22:11] * Edgerrin sets mode: +v Aithorn [22:11] * +Siluvaine pauses. "Pardon?" [22:13] <@BradGM> Wizards "What of it?" [22:13] <+Siluvaine> "We hope for its destruction." [22:14] <+Aithorn> "We believe it is in Altdorf, but if our past experience is a guide, we are running out of time before it tries to escape." [22:15] <@BradGM> Wizard "As it is expected." [22:15] <@BradGM> Wizard "Escape, you say?" [22:15] <@BradGM> Wizard "So it is a possesed thing?" [22:15] <@Edgerrin> "The last one wuz." [22:17] * +Siluvaine shrugs. "So it seems." [22:17] <@BradGM> Wizard "Is it with you now?" [22:18] * +Siluvaine shakes her head. [22:18] <+Siluvaine> "It is safely hidden away." [22:18] <@BradGM> Wizard "Where?" [22:19] <+Siluvaine> "In a place of safety. We can't say more." [22:21] <@BradGM> **Roll gossip -20 Sil or charm -20** [22:22] <+Siluvaine> !dhroll 33 [22:22] <+Diceling> Siluvaine: 49 Failure by 1 degree! [22:23] <@BradGM> ((fate?)) [22:24] <+Siluvaine> ((going to save it)) [22:24] <+Siluvaine> ((ehh. Screw it)) [22:25] <+Siluvaine> !dhroll 33 [22:25] <+Diceling> Siluvaine: 55 Failure by 2 degrees! [22:25] <+Siluvaine> ((figures)) [22:26] <@BradGM> Wizard "I would need to consult with my brothers on this matter before we can agree to help" [22:27] <@BradGM> Wizard "Would you have some stable lodgings?" [22:27] * +Siluvaine nods. "Of course. Hopefully we will be able to find the wizard in question." [22:27] * +Siluvaine provides the address for the Inn. [22:27] <+Aithorn> !dhroll 54 [22:27] <+Diceling> Aithorn: 46 Success by 0 degrees! [22:28] <+Aithorn> ((hooray, he doesn't think we are staying in a stable)) [22:28] <@BradGM> ((hahaha)) [22:28] <@BradGM> Wizard "You will recive news when a decision is made." [22:29] * +Siluvaine stands. "Thank you for seeing us." [22:30] <@BradGM> Wizard "do not thank us yet." [22:30] <@BradGM> **He gets up, and takes you to the exit, but rather than being the mian door you came in, it is a normal looking door, like a service door perhaps?** [22:32] <@BradGM> Wizard "If you wish to talk to us again, try to make less of a scene in the future." [22:32] * +Siluvaine eyes the others. "Thank you, I'll keep that in mind." [22:33] * +Aithorn looks around innocently [22:33] <@Edgerrin> "that was fun" [22:33] <+Ulrich> (i need to go, im falling asleep and I got to work a long shift at work tonight. I need a nap desperately) [22:33] <@Edgerrin> (night) [22:33] <+Aithorn> ((g'night)) [22:34] * +Siluvaine steps out the door. [22:34] <+Ulrich> (see ya next week) [22:34] * +Ulrich (MordentHex@121.58.rq.opt) Quit (Quit: HydraIRC -> http://www.hydrairc.com <- In tests, 0x09 out of 0x0A l33t h4x0rz prefer it :)) [22:34] <@BradGM> **He opens the door and hushers you out. You are in a back alley, giving to the Western Wall of the City. Behind you you see the door dissapear and reveal part of the wall, like is never was.** [22:34] <+Alexi> "Dot's a schneaky gate, dot iz." [22:35] <+Siluvaine> "well, I'm glad we all survived." [22:36] <@Edgerrin> "Wot next?" [22:36] <@BradGM> ((glad we all survived, ha!)) [22:36] <@BradGM> **It is about 2-3PM now** [22:37] <+Aithorn> ((Do we have any other retired witch hunters to check up on?)) [22:38] * +Siluvaine considers.
