Session+Seven

[20:28] <@BradGM> **After adventuring into the sewers and finding the Skaven assasin, alongside half dozen of his kin with him, defeating them and getting their just monetary reward, the party split and went their separate ways within Middenheim. Five days later, a missive arrives for you. [20:28] <@BradGM> You are asked at the Temple of Ulric at the request of a Father Ranulf. There, you are taken to a small anti-chamber, where you meet up with your companions of fortune from a week ago. A minute after the last of you arrive, you are invited into the office of Father Ranulf, a mid-thirties man as large and imposing as an old woodsman, but lacking the rough attitude as he invites you all to sit. [20:28] <@BradGM> With him is an aged priest, sitting upright, with both eyes completely white, telling of blindness.** [20:29] <@BradGM> **Alexi; add youself 5 days of pay, mius your food allocation** [20:29] <+Ulrich> o lord... [20:29] <+Alexi> k [20:30] <@BradGM> Ranulf "Thank you for your patience all; Apologies for having some of you wait, but I'd rather wait for everyone to be present." [20:30] * +Siluvaine glances around, trying to stiffle a yawn as she settles down. [20:30] * +Ulrich wonders at what caused his blindness [20:31] * chaostreet (chaostreet@104.236.zik.vml) has joined #shadowrun [20:32] <@BradGM> Ranulf "We have been infomred via Commander Schutzmann that you are the reliable sort; I believe you solved the murder of Father Morden and return the missing..*ahem*..frame." [20:33] * +Siluvaine tries not to roll her eyes. [20:33] <@BradGM> (ha!)) [20:33] * +Ulrich gets a sinking feeling he's about to be asked to do something foolishly dangerous again.. [20:33] * +Aithorn is just hoping that this one won't involve another sewer [20:33] <+Ulrich> ((worse thinks that that bro)) [20:34] <@BradGM> Ranulf "This, is my good friend and collegue Father Otto; three days ago he had a..rather troubling vision." [20:34] * chaostreet (chaostreet@104.236.zik.vml) Quit (Quit: Leaving) [20:34] <@BradGM> Ranulf "Go ahead Otto.." [20:36] * +Siluvaine listens quietly. She knows her expenses. [20:37] <@BradGM> **THe old man straighten himself up and bit and begins to speak; at first his voice is solid, confident, but as he goes, it begins to tremble, loose force. "I began walking, or felt myself walk..then as I aadvanced, my eyes began to see again. I was in the middle of a dark forest, walking without any aim, until I came across a clearing where a stone monolith, sitting on top of a mountain of skulls..." [20:38] <+Ulrich> (updated my gold and took out my "food" costs)) [20:39] * +Aithorn "Are visions usual for Ulric?" [20:39] * +Ulrich "ok...so..anyone else want to leave right now? this is sounding like something that starts bad and ends up worse.." [20:39] <+Alexi> "Go on." Alexi is rather intent [20:39] <@BradGM> Otto "Then, the Earth itself begin to shook, and the monolith split open, a large man clad in plate armour bearing the Mark of the Blood God came from the ground, with a large two-handed sword in his hand and a horned skull around his neck, tied to a chain of black metal.." [20:39] * +Ulrich "facepalm" [20:40] * @Edgerrin grins at the possibility of a glorious death. [20:41] <@BradGM> Otto "I tried to ready myself for combat, but my strengh left me suddenly, I..I was at the mercy of the man, yet the skull began to lauigh, as its jaw moved. "I shall be free!" it said, "I shall be free once again!" [20:42] <@BradGM> **Otto puts his head into his hand. Ranulf taps him on the shoulder as support "He was found by an initiate on the floor of his cell when he was not present for morning prayers." [20:42] <+Alexi> "Vell dot does not sound goot." [20:42] <@BradGM> Ranulf, to Aithron "Visons are one of the means the gods uses to communicate with us; but I must admit, such omen is a rarity..." [20:44] <@BradGM> Ranulf, to all "We have searched our archives for information about this skull and this warrior, and we believe we may have some idea on who he is; Does the name Kazron Bloodspitter means anything to you?" [20:44] <+Ulrich> .e "and what makes this any different from that mad maniac screaming about the doom of the world down the road?" [20:44] <@BradGM> **You can roll common lore (empire) or (Kislev)** [20:45] <+Alexi> !dhroll 31 [20:45]  Alexi: 77 Failure by 4 degrees! [20:45] <+Alexi> fate [20:45] <+Alexi> !dhroll 31 [20:45]  Alexi: 8 Success by 2 degrees! [20:45] <+Siluvaine> ((don't have)) [20:45] <+Ulrich> !dh roll 54 [20:45] <+Ulrich> !dhroll 54 [20:45]  Ulrich: 68 Failure by 1 degree! [20:45] <+Alexi> ((Have both, actually)) [20:45] <@BradGM> Otto "Because I feel a force..a presence upon my mind..as this thing is obeserving as we speak!" [20:46] * +Siluvaine thinks she'll avoid peeking at the winds here for now. [20:47] * +Ulrich "ok, so what do yo uwant from us?" [20:48] <@BradGM> **Alexi, you recall the name; he is a Powerful Warlord that came down from the Chaos Waste 200 years ago during the Great War Against Chaos, the one that was the city of Praag becoming a literal living hell. After the victory of Magnus the Pious at the Gates of Kislev, he was reported seens raiding in Ostermark, in the northern Empire. He was defeated a few times, but never reported death.** [20:48] <+Alexi> "Hoo boy...*dot* vos who hyu saw?" [20:50] <@BradGM> Ranulf "We believe so. AS the skull seems to be talking in Otto's vision, perhaps the Wariror is dead, but his unholy relic lives, somehow. We cannot allow such item to fall into the hands of Beastsmen, Marauders or Worse. It must be brought back here, and then we can destroy it." [20:51] <@BradGM> Ranulf "Or at the very least, not leave it at arm's length in the Darkwald, which is suspect was the dark forect Father Otto saw." [20:52] <@BradGM> Ranulf "I was told you were reliable and not cold at the prospect of danger; I hope I was not mislead." [20:53] <+Alexi> "Ve dun vant dot vun to come meking troubles again, nosir." [20:54] * @Edgerrin stands up. 1"when do we start?" [20:54] * +Ulrich "going in to danger for a good cause is one thing, compensation is another" [20:55] * +Ulrich and this sounds about as dangerous as it can get" [20:56] <+Siluvaine> "And don't such things have a..corrupting influence?" [20:56] <@Edgerrin> "Sounds perfect." [20:56] <+Ulrich> "exactly" [20:56] * +Ulrich "touching this thing could turn us all into mutants, or worse" [20:56] <+Aithorn> "Landblighter is an enemy of my people, but I would be interested to know who else is coming with the 5 of us, surely we are not enough." [20:57] <@BradGM> Ranulf "it is a good cause. Middenheim's defence are rather lacking at the moment; furthermore, while I can move some funds for equipment, we do not see money as a reward as a..how can I say..a deserving reward, Ulricans see the Glory of it as reward enough." [20:57] <@BradGM> Ranulf "Yes, I beleive we have something for that." [20:58] * +Ulrich sorry father, im a little more pragmatic than that when my neck is on the line, no offense" [20:59] <@BradGM> **Ranulf gets to a closet and takes out a wooden box, engraved with numerous runes and symbols of wolves. "This box have been trice-blessed, and has a silver lock, dwarven made. You can carry the skull within it; but I am afraid that how you'll put in it the box is up to you."** [20:59] * +Ulrich don't get me wrong, bashing some beasties is all well and good, but i want a fighting chance at it at the very least" [21:01] <@BradGM> **Ranulf shighs slightly "Well, I will need to discuss with High-Priest Liebnitz concerning a monetary reward, but if there is such a thing, it will only be given upon your successful return." [21:01] <@BradGM> Ranulf "Pragmatism in understandable, and like you, we feel that giving money wihtout results is..counter productive" [21:02] <+Alexi> "Vell uf cause it vould be. If ve dun succed, den ve dun need it." [21:02] <+Siluvaine> "So funds for equipment before we leave, and then...possible funds when we return with it? Do you have more information other than in the forest?" [21:03] <+Aithorn> "The defeat of Landblighter is a worthy goal, but my people have their own methods for how to deal with cases like this. What preparations has this temple made?" [21:03] <@BradGM> Ranulf "I do not; that is why, Father Otto will accompany you. As he appears to have some sort of connection wiht it, he will be abelt o help you to located the artefact." [21:05] * +Ulrich looks around in shock not liking this at all [21:05] * +Ulrich mumbing to himself "im a healer not sigmar returned" [21:05] <@BradGM> **Ranulf seems a bit embarassed by your question Aithron "WEll, I must be honest, our scribes and priests are currently working n a way to destroy it. To contain it here, within these walls, is of no problem; I beleive we may have a better change with the return of the Wizards from the campaign." [21:06] * +Ulrich "so you have no way to destroy it unless the Wizards maybe come back?" [21:07] * +Ulrich " a chaos artifact within the city would be ah, dangerous right?" [21:07] <@BradGM> Ranulf "If we do not find a way to destroy it via the Gods first." [21:08] <@BradGM> Ranulf "Hence why I call upon you; I beleive you can keep it for yourselves as to not alarm people nor being unwanted attention; Chaos cultists are everywhere, my a cult was destoyed during th siege when they foolishly tried an uprising." [21:09] <@BradGM> Ranulf "That is why I would rather use outsiders with no ties here than people who be serving another master." [21:09] <+Aithorn> "Containment! A fouled spring must be cleared before allowing it to fill with clean water. Otherwise the foulness spreads. Perhaps it would be easier and wiser to send word to my clan and set out when they arrive." [21:09] <+Ulrich> "and if i refuse this task? im guessing i would be punished in some way?" [21:10] <@BradGM> Ranulf "I would of course try to convince you otherwise, but if your mind is set, we would only ask you to tke an oath of silence concerning this matter, and send you on your way." [21:11] <+Alexi> "Hy vill do dis." [21:11] * @Edgerrin pats Ulrich on the back. 1"Come lad ya know ye aint gonna refuse. It's not your nature." [21:12] <@BradGM> Ranulf to Aithorn "Your help is appreciated, but the tiem for the message to leave and them to arrive, to could be weeks, time we cannot affort to spend. Three days have past since we learned of this item, and I fear that rtime is not a luxury we can have at this time." [21:12] <+Siluvaine> ((brb)) [21:12] * +Ulrich nods, resigned to his aparrent doom [21:12] <@BradGM> ((hourrah for peer pressure!)) [21:13] <@BradGM> ((damn, not only did I massacred that line, but I wrote time like 23464543 times)) [21:13] <+Ulrich> ( If i die, your all haunted!) [21:13] <@BradGM> ((hourrah for fate points!)) [21:13] <@Edgerrin> "It will be a glorious death for all. The type songs be sung about." [21:14] <+Ulrich> (the type i got to roll up a new character for you mean :P)) [21:15] <@BradGM> **Ranulf looks at the Elves "Can I, can Middenheim, count on your assistance?" [21:15] * +Ulrich "im not happy about it at the very least, but i'll do it, this lot wont make it far without medical attention" [21:16] <+Aithorn> "If you swear by your honor you will have a way to destroy this relic when we return, then my people will march to war again in me." [21:16] * +Siluvaine considers. "I have not reached a point in my studies where I can not be absent for a little bit. And I do like to eat. I suppose so." [21:17] <+Ulrich> (We are RPing it up today, look at us! lol) [21:18] <@BradGM> Ranulf "You are asking alot; I cannot make such promise; but I can tell you we have wards and means to isolate its influence, at least until we can destroy it." [21:18] <@BradGM> ((yeah that's nice)) [21:18] <+Ulrich> (( now where is my old world armory book...) [21:19] <@BradGM> ((for what?)) [21:21] <@Edgerrin> ((he missspoke. He doesnt want the old world armory he wants the one from 40k)0 [21:22] <@BradGM> Ranulf "If you wish I can show them to you, if that will ease your mind. But do remember this is Ulric's temple for the last 2500 years; if we could not containt evil forces or fight them, we would not be here talking within those holy walls." [21:24] <+Ulrich> ( boltguns for everyone please) [21:24] * +Siluvaine eyes Aithorn. [21:24] <@BradGM> ((Ok; -20 BS since no one got the related Weapon training talent)) [21:24] <+Aithorn> ((i can deal with that)) [21:26] <@BradGM> ((yeah only you..)) [21:26] <+Aithorn> "I will call my people here then to make sure the job is done. Middenheim is at least easier to find than a forsaken glade. What do you think they will find when they arrive? Let us go then." [21:27] <+Ulrich> (power swords then maybe?) :D)) [21:27] <@BradGM> **Ranulf bows slightly, seemingly happy wiht the agreement. He gets out 10 Crowns, that's 10 for you all, for you to buy supplies. HE tell you to return for Father Otto when you are done.** [21:27] <+Ulrich> (chainswords! yes!)) [21:28] <@BradGM> ((yes, both will be fun when you crit fail..)) [21:28] <@BradGM> ((well, fun for me)) [21:28] <+Ulrich> ( be fun when i hit too) [21:28] * +Alexi will go inform his Watch commander he needs to leave the city for a bit [21:29] <+Siluvaine> 'How long do we expect this to take?" [21:29] <+Ulrich> ( gushing blood streams from the chainsword = new clothes every adventure) [21:29] <@BradGM> **Oh yes; Ranulf gives you an offical paper form the Temple excusing you for a few ddays due to offical Temple Business; meaing you still get your pay even when you're not in the City.** [21:29] <@BradGM> Ranulf "difficult to predict; a week's worht, perhaps more.." [21:30] <@BradGM> ((Keep in mind rations are weekly in the book, not daily)) [21:30] * +Ulrich "its not a lot of money, we shoudl get some food supplies, rope, need things" [21:31] <+Ulrich> "back up stuff too, we wont be getting new gear but we can make sure we dont go hungry or get cold at night" [21:31] <@BradGM> !dhroll 50 [21:31]  BradGM: 1 Success by 4 degrees! [21:31] <@BradGM> ((dammit!)) [21:32] <@Edgerrin> ((did we sell all the other crap yet?)) [21:32] <@BradGM> **Otto speaks up "Perhaps we can take some horses, if they haven't all been taken." [21:32] <@BradGM> ((Siluvaine haven't moved it yet)) [21:32] <@Edgerrin> ((k)) [21:33] <+Siluvaine> ((I was busy!)) [21:33] <@BradGM> Ranulf "There are no warhorses left, that I know of; I will see what can be arranged Otto..and I expect you to ride with someone, not alone." [21:33] <+Ulrich> "hahahaha! he got you!" [21:34] <@BradGM> Otto "be mindful, I just might ride with you youngin'!" [21:34] <+Ulrich> "i dunno about the dwarf, but i think i will, ah, walk" [21:34] <+Ulrich> "i don't like horses much" [21:35] <@Edgerrin> "horses dont much care fer me either." [21:35] <+Aithorn> "Perhaps the temple has some armor available as well, if Landblighter is calling out, others may answer too." [21:35] <@BradGM> Otto "Well, I seems I'd better put socks then." [21:36] <+Ulrich> "good peice of steal between me and the nasties would be nice" [21:37] <@BradGM> Ranulf "We do not ahve much left..with the Graf and Ar-Ulric gone, most of our stocks are empty, but I will see with your blacksmith, perhaps he completed a few repairs on what was damaged during the siege." [21:38] <+Ulrich> "we should see if we can find any "hired help" for this trip, more warm bodies equals more swords" [21:39] <+Ulrich> "that sewer rat may be interested in making a shilling or two ya know?" [21:39] <+Siluvaine> "I'd suggest three weeks of rations. And if there were others that were available, I doubt they would be hiring us?" [21:39] <+Ulrich> "maybe we just got a good reputation?" [21:40] <+Ulrich> "plenty of people looking for a job these days in this city i thinks" [21:40] <+Ulrich> "i could check around if no one has any objections" [21:40] <+Siluvaine> "That's fine with me. DOes anyone have any rope?" [21:41] <+Aithorn> "A beastman is a foe anyone can fight, but daemons attack your soul, or so I hear. If we bring anybody, we should make sure it is someone we can count on not someone looking for food." [21:42] <+Ulrich> " a man hungry enough to work, is a man hungry enough to want to live, the common people have spirit, you don't have to be a preist to fight ya know?" [21:42] <@BradGM> Ranulf "And I would be cautious to speak of this as well; I do not wish a panic or to attrach unwanted attention." [21:43] <+Ulrich> "and everyone has seen their fair share of horror these past few years" [21:43] <+Ulrich> "fair enough" [21:44] <+Ulrich> "have you talked about this with the temple of sigmar? do they know?" [21:45] <+Ulrich> "i wouldn't want to be strung up as a heretic soon as i enter the city wit hthis thing ya nkow?" [21:46] <@BradGM> **Ranbulf smiles a little "Oh, don't be too concered about the Temple of Sigmar; They are good people all true, but this is the City of the White Wolf; you act with our blessings and accord, Sigmar is still a grand musician, but he is playing second violin here." [21:47] <@BradGM> **So, buying anything or asking for any type of armour at the temple? They would have some leather available (jacks and caps), some 2 mail shirts (human) and 3 mail coif left.** [21:49] <+Siluvaine> ((going to buy 3 weeks of rations for 18 silver for Siluvaine, still looking to see if there's anything else)) [21:50] <@BradGM> ((torches? lantern? that tinter box?)) [21:50] <@BradGM> ((a spade! a sack!)) [21:51] <@BradGM> ((crowbar? pole?)) [21:51] <+Ulrich> (all the above would be useful) [21:51] <@BradGM> ((crooked dice!)) [21:51] <@Edgerrin> "Would you be having any of the healing draughts we could purchase?" [21:52] <@BradGM> ((yeah no one got a nice career with lots of tool; grave/tomb robbers start with so much crap it's crazy!)) [21:52] <+Aithorn> ((Aithorn will buy 2 weeks of rations and a crowbar out of his share of the 10g, any extra out of his pocket)) [21:52] <+Ulrich> (torch, lantern, a tent or two, some blankets) [21:52] <@BradGM> ((WEll, you each got a bed roll and a blanket, remember that)) [21:52] <@BradGM> ((as per your starting stuff)) [21:52] <+Ulrich> (but if its really cold or raining that wont help much) [21:53] <@BradGM> ((well, it is still summer time, like July, so you will face rain, and some cool night, but not cold)) [21:53] <+Ulrich> (this is a trek into the very dangerous outdoors) [21:53] <+Ulrich> (a boiling pot) [21:54] <@BradGM> ((count the worth of your stuff)) [21:56] <+Aithorn> ((22s)) [21:58] <+Ulrich> (and i'll take one of those mail shirts) [21:58] <+Ulrich> (if the price is right or its a loaner) [21:59] <@BradGM> ((loaner, but you can negociate after when you return to keep it as part of your reward)) [21:59] <+Ulrich> ( we only got 2 humans after all) [21:59] <@BradGM> ((counting everything now; 5 weeks of ration, a crowbar, 2 tents, 2 blankets, a lantern, 1 torch, a boiling pot..anything else? ) [21:59] <@BradGM> ((well, elves can wear it; it was more for Edgerrin, that things are not for his torso size)) [21:59] <@BradGM> ((nor leg length..)) [21:59] <+Ulrich> (and a coif to protect my brain) [22:00] <@Edgerrin> (I got full leather during the break. I'm good) [22:00] <+Ulrich> (elves may be better of with leather, it quieter) [22:01] <+Siluvaine> ((I assume that list is for everyone?)) [22:01] <@BradGM> **So, only buying that? it comes to 12.5 Crowns total.** [22:01] <@BradGM> ((at the moment yes; no one else bought anythign wihth that money)) [22:01] <@Edgerrin> ((is that the party pool?)) [22:02] <@BradGM> **Yes, that is from the 10 Crowns budget; the larntern cost 5 crowns by itself btw.** [22:02] <@BradGM> **Siluvaine still got the loot as well; an estimate test can give you an idea on how much you can fetch** [22:03] <+Ulrich> (ouch, drop the lantern, we can get some torches) [22:04] <+Siluvaine> ((I thought we already figured it out we could get about 7 gold for it, I just hadn't done it yet)) [22:04] <+Ulrich> (we need matchs as well, easier to start a camp fire) [22:04] <@BradGM> **7.5 Crowns; I'll throw in 5 torches for free.** [22:04] <@BradGM> ((or a tinder box really)) [22:04] <+Ulrich> (DEAL!) [22:04] <@Edgerrin> ((We should buy some healng draughts and anti toxins)) [22:05] <@BradGM> ((Those are availalbe in the Freiburg, in any alchemist's shop there.)) [22:06] <@BradGM> ((5 crowns the draughts, 3 crown the anti-poion kit)) [22:06] <+Ulrich> (thats not cheap ) [22:07] <+Ulrich> ( I can try to bargen them down) [22:07] <@BradGM> ((well, it's auto 4 wounds back, except if you're heavy wounded, and a re-roll for poison..not nothing)) [22:07] <+Ulrich> ( ya i know) [22:07] <@BradGM> **Roll it agasint the alchemist's barder of 40** [22:07] <@BradGM> !dhroll 40 [22:07]  BradGM: 34 Success by 0 degrees!

[22:09] <@BradGM> **You would still have 2.5 crowns left in your party's budget.** [22:09] <+Alexi> (that works) [22:09] <+Siluvaine> ((That's fine.)) [22:09] <+Ulrich> (the anti poison kit is one use?) [22:09] <+Ulrich> (or multiple?) [22:11] <@BradGM> ((only states you got to spend 2 full acrtion too use it, and if you're still alive by then, you can re-roll the T test vs. poison, but it doens't say how many times you can useit; so I'd say always; thought I'd figure you go down the swamp to pick leeches nad herbs to fill the kit every now and then)) [22:11] <+Ulrich> (fair enough) [22:12] <+Ulrich> (i'll get one just to add to my Medicine collection) [22:12] <+Ulrich> (i'll get 1 Hp and the toxin kit) [22:12] <+Siluvaine> ((Siluvaine would like a tent to herself, so add that to the list, and another 2 weeks of rations for a total of 27 silver)) [22:12] <+Ulrich> (sense im the group doctor) [22:13] <+Ulrich> (if other want a Hp, thats out of their pocket) [22:13] <@BradGM> ((9 crowns)) [22:13] <+Ulrich> (k) [22:13] <@BradGM> **1 Gold left in the pool** [22:14] <+Siluvaine> ((I'd suggest rope)) [22:14] <@Edgerrin> ((I have some rope)) [22:14] <@BradGM> ((You can buy a deck of cards for a crown..))

[22:16] <+Siluvaine> ((Well, if Edgerrin has it already, we don't need it! Still a gold under!)) [22:16] <@BradGM> ((Or you can give it back to the temple..)) [22:17] <+Aithorn> ((I'd vote for giving it back to the temple if we're not going to use it)) [22:17] <@BradGM> ((or a box of 20 matches!)) [22:17] <@BradGM> ((each got 50% chance of wokring)) [22:17] <+Ulrich> (is the Chain shirt sleaved or sleavless?)
