Session+Sixty-Two

20/11/16

[20:19] <@BradGM> **The Party took a little relaxing time in Hülmagen; Edgerrin visited rune Master Kurgen, learning a little about the runes on the Runic Hammer. Aithorn seek out decent wood for Imhol’s pegleg, and reassured his brother about his conviction and drive. Siluvaine and Ulrich did a little shopping, while Alexi kept watch over Marsner. [20:19] <@BradGM> .The rest of the morning was calm, despite a little heated argument and collar grabbing between a scribe of the Leitdorf Family, rulers of Averland, and a young man of the Alptraums, the former rulers of the Province. During the Afternoon, Ulrich participated in a sparring contest against a young noble using only his shield. The Priest’s sense of spectacle was quite impressive, almost overshadowing his victory. He did make a jealous or two having drinks send his way until suppertime. [20:19] <@BradGM>. As the Party and Passengers were finishing their entrées, the Captain informed everyone that a passenger was murdered; Reinolt Leitdorf, the old scribe from the scuffle this morning.** [20:20] <@BradGM> Captain "As it is supper, I would rather not dispense details of the man's condition. Needless to say, there are some suspect.." *He looks over, as most passengers are, to the young man the Leitdorf was tackling earlier this morning.** [20:20] <@BradGM> !dhroll 43 [20:20] <@Diceling> BradGM: 60 Failure by 1 degree! [20:21] <@BradGM> **The man tries to be calm, but he clearly nervous of the stares and hushed gossiping and more sterner and obvious actions by some, including the Colonel, who simply put his pistol on the table.** [20:21] * +Siluvaine looks over as well, curiously. And wondering about the body since it seems more unusual rather than just "killed" [20:23] <@BradGM> Captain "Please, try to enjoy the evening nonetheless." **He motions to the servants who goes into the kitchen and brings in the second service.** [20:24] <+Siluvaine> "Perhaps we can help?" [20:25] * +Aithorn nods, "If you insist, but I will do what I can to help, if you ask." [20:26] * +Siluvaine motions to Alexi. "He's a member of the Watch in Middenheim." [20:28] <@BradGM> **The Captain is discussing things with the bossun, and going around the tables to makes things business as usual.** [20:29] <@BradGM> **He comes to your table after seeing to the more noble passengers.** [20:30] * +Siluvaine glances at the Captain. "We might be able to help." [20:30] <+Ulrich> ck) [20:30] <+Ulrich> (back) [20:32] <@BradGM> Captain "Is that so?..Well, I must admit this is the first time something happened on my time serving this ship, going back 26 years now. My crew and myself have no knowledge on how to look at murder scene." [20:33] <+Ulrich> "i'll help, i was a doctor before finding my true calling." [20:33] * +Siluvaine motions to Alexi. "He's a valued member of the watch in Middenheim." [20:33] <@BradGM> Captain "Ah, good, but I must warn you- it is not a pretty sight." [20:34] <@BradGM> Captain "The Watch you say? Well, a formal lawful autority would put some considerable weight into the matter, of course." [20:35] * +Aithorn chuckles a bit at Ulrich, "We have all had more experience with this than we deserve. But we are at your service." [20:36] <@BradGM> Captain "Well, I suppose you'd prefer to finish your meal before beginning your investigation?" [20:38] * +Siluvaine looks down at the steerage class meal. "I suppose." [20:38] <+Ulrich> "yes" [20:39] <@BradGM> !dhroll 43 [20:39] <@Diceling> BradGM: 70 Failure by 2 degrees! [20:40] * +Aithorn takes a sip of the wine. "The victim is dead, yes? Then he isn't going anywhere. But I will chew a bit faster." [20:40] <+Siluvaine> "If it is as bad as you suggest, this might be our last meal for a bit." [20:40] * +Siluvaine eats neatly, but doesn't take her time. [20:41] <@BradGM> **You finish your good meal, delicious, but somehow less fancy and tasteful as your breakfast. The Alptraum man seems to be a bit jumpy as the hushed talking and shifting glare of the others.** [20:42] <+Ulrich> (wow and I thought i was the country bumpkin of the group, elves are rather morbid today) [20:42] * +Siluvaine stands and heads to the Captain. "I believe we're ready now." [20:44] <@BradGM> **The Captaing signals the ship's commissioner to take you to the body. He also asks the other passengers to remain in the Lounge for 'the moment'.** [20:44] <+Ulrich> "who has been within the room so far?" [20:44] <+Ulrich> "i'm worried about contamination" [20:44] <+Ulrich> (CSI TIME! CUE THE LAW AND ORDER MUSIC!) [20:45] <@BradGM> Comm. "Ahem.only a servant and the Captain for now." [20:45] <@BradGM> ((Yeah, NYPD Blue style)) [20:45] <+Ulrich> "then for completion sake, they both are automaticely suspects" [20:46] <+Aithorn> ((I was thinking Inspector Clouseau style)) [20:46] <+Ulrich> "I can not rule them out if they have been in the scene and left their own make on it" [20:46] <@BradGM> Comm. "What an outrageous claim, if I ever heard one." [20:46] <+Ulrich> (inspector gadget more like) [20:47] <@BradGM> **You get taken below deck, to a portside cabin.** [20:47] * +Ulrich stops "are you a doctor?" [20:47] <@BradGM> Comm. "This one was bought by a certain Antikari, an Arabyan man who cancelled his reservation at the last moment." [20:48] * +Siluvaine follows along, curious. [20:48] <@BradGM> Comm. "No sir, but I doutb a physician is anywhere near a Verenarian Investigatior." [20:48] <+Ulrich> "good luck finding one of those" [20:49] <@BradGM> **The Commissoner opens the door. You see the body of the Leitdorf man, face down. His head is in a small pool of blood. A few letters are lying on the folded bed. Looking around, you see blood splatter on the ceiling, as if it gushed upward.** [20:50] <+Ulrich> "roll him over" [20:50] * +Aithorn grabs the letters off the bed and hands them to Siluvaine [20:50] * +Siluvaine glances up at the ceiling, frowning in curiosity, before she opens herself to the winds of magic. [20:51] <@BradGM> Commissiner "Hum, you're the expert, and investigating this, I'll stand right here in the hall, thank you." [20:51] <@BradGM> **Roll it Sil.** [20:51] <+Siluvaine> !dhroll 89 [20:51] <@Diceling> Siluvaine: 78 Success by 1 degree! [20:51] <+Ulrich> "as you said, im only a physician, and i'm not getting my leathers covered in this mans blood, your ship, your problem. Roll him over" [20:52] <@BradGM> Comm. "I'm sorry, but no." [20:52] * +Siluvaine shushes them as she tries to concentrate. [20:53] <@BradGM> **Siluvaine, you feel no magical activity that could be responsible for the murder. This was your regular violent act.** [20:53] * +Siluvaine shakes her head as she takes the letters from Aithorn. "I don't sense any magic." [20:54] * +Aithorn tosses the closest linen (towel or pillowcase towards Ulrich with his free hand, "You know what you are looking for, it falls to you to examine the body." [20:54] * +Ulrich looks for things that would seem out of place in the room [20:54] * +Ulrich ignoring the pillowcase [20:55] <@BradGM> **The letters are missives, personnal correspondance with a professor from Altdorf U. and an invitation to the Countess' Ball all at the attention of Reinolt Leitdorf.** [20:55] * +Aithorn looks through the dresser and under the bed for anything that appears to be evidence. [20:55] <@BradGM> **Ulrich, there's a body on the floor and blood platter on the ceiling form your point of view.** [20:56] <+Ulrich> "who is Reinolt Leitdorf?" [20:56] <+Ulrich> (ah hat was for Sil) [20:56] <+Ulrich> (reading it out loud?) [20:56] <+Ulrich> (lol) [20:56] <@BradGM> **The name Leitdorf is familiar being the same as the Elector-Count of Averland, the Infamous Marius Leitdorf, the 'Mad Count' of Averland.** [20:57] * +Siluvaine looks to see who invited Leitdorf. [20:58] <+Ulrich> (is the man laying on his front or his back?) [20:58] <@BradGM> **The invitation itself is at his name, and is written in the typical style that the Countess make the invitation.** [20:58] <@BradGM> ((lying on his front, his face face down)) [20:59] <+Ulrich> (will inspect the body without touching it) [20:59] <+Ulrich> !dhroll 64 [20:59] <@Diceling> Ulrich: 79 Failure by 1 degree! [20:59] <@BradGM> ((Sil, the ivnitation is writtan like "The Countess cordially invites Mr. Reinolt Leitdorf to her gradn masked ball etc etc)) [21:00] <+Ulrich> (I'm not very inclined to help anymore, so i just look over the obvious) [21:00] <+Ulrich> (lol) [21:00] <@BradGM> **He is wearing no weapons and is wearing a good quality robes, is only a little used by usage.** [21:00] <+Ulrich> (wounds?) [21:01] <+Aithorn> ((he's dead, so probably 0 wounds left)) ((sorry, warhammer humour)) [21:01] <@BradGM> **Also, his face is lying in a small pool of blood. You can see no wounds from hiss back. There must be some present on his front.** [21:01] * +Siluvaine looks over the correspondence with the Professor to see what its about. [21:02] * +Aithorn moves on to the closet in the room, looking for anything that might have been stashed after the murder [21:02] * +Ulrich looks at the blood spray pattern [21:03] * +Ulrich trying to find the angle of attack [21:03] <@BradGM> **Ulrich, the blood spray got no pattern, it's just blood platter.** [21:03] <+Ulrich> (how much blood are we talkign about here? a little gush or like full blown the man emptied all his juices) [21:04] <@BradGM> **Siluvaine, the corespondance sems to be regarding the concept of the lower class to rule themsevles without the need for the nobility to be there.** [21:04] <@BradGM> ((little gush)) [21:05] * +Ulrich turns the man over [21:05] <@BradGM> **The man's whole face is nothing more than a bloody pulp, hacked and grawled at as if eaten by some wild beast! Everyone will WP+20!** [21:06] * +Alexi isn't in the room :) [21:06] <+Ulrich> !dhroll 71 [21:06] <@Diceling> Ulrich: 15 Success by 5 degrees! [21:06] <+Aithorn> !dhroll 71 [21:06] <+Siluvaine> !dhroll 89 [21:06] <@Diceling> Aithorn: 49 Success by 2 degrees! [21:06] <@Diceling> Siluvaine: 66 Success by 2 degrees! [21:06] <@BradGM> ((Or well, at least those present in the room-heh Alexi, )) [21:07] <@BradGM> **Quite the mess indeed, but after what you went throught, it's small potatoes.** [21:07] <+Ulrich> "eh..thats discusting, Commisioner, come look at this! face is a ragged lump" [21:08] <@BradGM> !dhroll 49 [21:08] <@Diceling> BradGM: 19 Success by 3 degrees! [21:08] <@BradGM> Comm. "No, I'm staying in the hall with your companion." [21:08] <+Ulrich> (damn) [21:09] <+Siluvaine> "The correspondence is interesting, but hardly an obvious reason to kill him in such a manner." [21:09] * +Siluvaine tucks it away however, and starts to explore the room, looking for clues. [21:10] <+Ulrich> (checking the rest of the body) [21:10] <+Ulrich> !dhroll 64 [21:10] <@Diceling> Ulrich: 69 Failure by 0 degrees! [21:10] <+Ulrich> (yeah, im not feeling it) [21:10] <+Aithorn> "Ulrich, that seemed like a small puddle for someone missing a face. Was the victim drained, in your opinion?" [21:11] <+Ulrich> "looks like you have a serious rodent problem..." [21:11] <+Ulrich> "what would drain a man of his blood?" [21:12] <+Ulrich> "if it was a beasty that got on without us knowing, there would be more than this missing, probably eat half of him" [21:12] <+Ulrich> "and we would be picking up the left over pieces" [21:13] <+Aithorn> "There are rumor spread from Mousillon in Brettonia, about nobles who drink wine dark like blood. There are other rumors, worse, but it might be done." [21:14] * +Siluvaine motions to the roof and the ceiling. "You'd think they'd be cleaner about it." [21:14] <+Ulrich> "i know nothing of that, a vampire maybe, but if so..we are all dead men walking, and Sil would have noticed its presence most likely" [21:15] <+Ulrich> "who's were abouts can not be verified at the time of his death?" [21:15] <+Siluvaine> "Perhaps. Maybe its a simple as it looks." [21:15] * +Siluvaine continues to search the room. [21:15] <+Siluvaine> (Brb) [21:16] <@BradGM> **Roll search -20 Sil.** [21:16] <+Ulrich> "I think someone killed him for whatever he was writing over there, or some other reason and made a statement when killing him" [21:17] <+Ulrich> "the wounds seem symbolic" [21:17] <+Ulrich> "lier, cheat, dishonesty, two faced" [21:18] <+Ulrich> "and he is involved in politics...probably a thousand people that want him dead for even more reasons than that" [21:21] <@BradGM> Comm. "Well, that make it more obvious that other man is guilty then. He seems to be quite emotinal with the Leitdorf move to power in Averland." [21:22] <+Ulrich> ( wasn't he dualing me at the time?) [21:23] <@BradGM> ((no, that was some other noble)) [21:23] <+Ulrich> (ok) [21:23] <+Aithorn> "Has anybody asked the young man if he had anybody to vouch for where he was?" [21:24] <+Siluvaine> !dhroll 50 [21:24] <@Diceling> Siluvaine: 28 Success by 2 degrees! [21:24] * DerMaiden (AmyL@v-53-91-346-920.hsd6.de.comcast.net) has joined #shadowrun [21:24] * +Ulrich shrugs [21:24] <+Aithorn> ((Ulrich, any idea about how long the body has been dead?)) [21:24] <+Ulrich> !dhroll 64 [21:24] <@Diceling> Ulrich: 79 Failure by 1 degree! [21:24] <+Ulrich> (nope) [21:24] <+Ulrich> (failing left and right today) [21:25] <+Aithorn> ((note to self: don't need any healing today)) [21:25] <+Ulrich> (complete character apathy about the whole situation lol) [21:26] <@BradGM> **Siluvaine, as you look around, you look at the body. You then see what appears to be a teth stuck inside on e of the numeroous open wounds on Leitdorf's face.** [21:26] * DerMaiden (AmyL@v-53-91-346-920.hsd6.de.comcast.net) has left #shadowrun (Leaving) [21:27] <+Ulrich> "well thats all, if you want more, go get one of those bloody Verenians, put the body in the icebox. I'm done" [21:28] * +Siluvaine grimaces in disgust and leans over, pointing the tooth out to Ulrich. "I think the attacker left something behind." [21:28] * +Ulrich looks [21:28] <+Ulrich> "so it seems" [21:28] * +Ulrich digs the tooth out of the mans face and looks at it [21:30] * +Aithorn stops his own examination of the closet and foot chest to see this tooth [21:30] <@BradGM> **Roll heal Ulrich** [21:31] <@BradGM> ((Oh sorry Aithorn)) [21:31] <+Ulrich> !dhroll 84 [21:31] <@Diceling> Ulrich: 4 Success by 8 degrees! [21:31] <+Ulrich> (pfff lol) [21:31] <@BradGM> **Aithorn, the closet/foot chest are empty, if only for the usual drapes** [21:34] <@BradGM> **You know it is a mandibular central incisor, lost during the agressor's violent gnawling of the face.** [21:36] <+Aithorn> "If Alptraum is missing a tooth, that may be the proof we need. Perhaps it is time to head back to the dining room if our doctor is finished here." [21:36] <@BradGM> **Everyone roll intelligence-20** [21:36] <+Aithorn> !dhroll 31 [21:36] <@Diceling> Aithorn: 59 Failure by 2 degrees! [21:37] <+Siluvaine> !dhroll 40 [21:37] <@Diceling> Siluvaine: 32 Success by 0 degrees! [21:37] <+Siluvaine> "I don't suppose anyone avoided dinner?" [21:38] <@BradGM> Comm. "no, everyone was present." [21:39] * +Siluvaine nods and heads back to the door, kneeling down and looking at the floor just outside of the room, looking for blood. [21:40] <@BradGM> **Siluvaine, You see a few driplets of blood on the floor it looks dry but not from that long ago, maybe?** [21:42] * +Siluvaine motions to the group. "Blood trail." She points it out, just incase she loses it as she starts to follow. "Don't forget to bring the tooth." [21:43] <+Ulrich> !dhroll 34 [21:43] <@Diceling> Ulrich: 16 Success by 1 degree! [21:43] * +Aithorn takes a hard look outside in the hallway to see if the blood goes anywhere else [21:43] * +Ulrich tucks the tooth into his pocket [21:44] <@BradGM> **Roll follow trail Aithorn/Alexi** [21:45] <+Aithorn> !dhroll 51 [21:45] <@Diceling> Aithorn: 86 Failure by 3 degrees!

It leads up outside and toward the portside. Whoever made it must have jumped ship.** [21:48] <+Ulrich> "assassin....." [21:50] * +Aithorn turns and goes back up to the dining room to ask the Captain to have a word with young Alptraum. [21:50] <+Siluvaine> "And since it was said that everyone was at dinner, I suppose they must have come on the same way." [21:51] <@BradGM> **Everyone is still in the Lounge Ulrich, so you can go and talk to him, as he is there, alone at his table.** [21:52] <+Aithorn> ((do we really want to cause a scene in front of everybody? the captain might appreciate a bit of decorum)) [21:52] * @Edgerrin is still sitting at their table wondering where everyone went. [21:54] * +Aithorn walks into the dining room and sits back down next to Edgerrin, "Did you save me any of those sweet rolls?" [21:54] <@BradGM> **Ah yes; The Captain speaks with the man, who then is takken to the Kitchen, where youR'e waiting. The Halfling woman cook is not too happy with having people in the kitchen** [21:55] <@Edgerrin> "No they go good with beer." [21:56] <@Edgerrin> "N since ya all left me by meself I drank your beer." [21:56] <+Ulrich> "haha" [21:57] * +Siluvaine heads to the Kitchen, curious as to how this is going to go. [21:57] <@BradGM> Alptraum "So what say you, Priest? The Captain said you didn't want to cause a scene." [21:57] <+Ulrich> "smile for me good sir" [21:57] * +Aithorn gasps in mock outrage, "Foul brigand!" [21:59] <@BradGM> Alptraum "What? Smile?" [22:01] <@BradGM> **He looks over the Captain and back to you "Are you serious, Man?" [22:01] <+Siluvaine> "We found something that might clear your name. Please, humor him." [22:02] <@BradGM> **He sighs heavily, then smiles an emotionless smile. You see that he has all of his teeth, and there's in good condition as well.** [22:02] <+Ulrich> "big toothy smile" [22:03] <@BradGM> Alptraum "Now what of that evidence?" [22:03] <@BradGM> Captain "Yes, I am curious as well." [22:03] <+Siluvaine> "The attacker left a tooth behind." [22:03] * +Ulrich shows the tooth [22:04] <+Ulrich> "who ever did this wont be eating comforatbly for a while [22:04] <+Ulrich> " [22:04] <@BradGM> Alptraum "Hpf. Like I would have killed such old insolent man." [22:05] <+Ulrich> "Boy I would take this a bit more serious, they hang men for this, Noble or not" [22:05] <+Ulrich> "this man was connected" [22:05] * +Siluvaine discusses with the Captain that the killer might have jumped ship already, but it might be worthwhile to check the other passengers. [22:06] <@BradGM> Alptraum "This man was a Leitdorf, and your evidence cleary innocent me. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll return to the lounge, where I am certain the Captain will announced that all suspicion toward me is folly." [22:08] * +Ulrich bits his tongue. [22:08] <+Siluvaine> "Of course. You're welcome." [22:08] <@BradGM> **The young man leaves.** [22:08] <@Edgerrin> ((If anyone wants, I can knock out one of his teeth, or more out to match the found tooth. That'll knock the smugness out of him)) [22:10] <@BradGM> **The Captain discuss things with you Sil "I can have my crew accuount for everyone but Leitdorf and Alptraum. Your tooth discovery clear the ladder of all crimes, and if the killer left the ship, I suspect we will only be chasnig ghosts.** [22:11] <+Siluvaine> "Perhaps. You might want to consider how he got on board." [22:12] <+Ulrich> (that would be great, and tidy up this little mess wonderfully) [22:12] <@BradGM> Captain "I only can see that he somehow got onboard at Hülmagen without us noticing, or during the fight with the Beastsmen last night." [22:13] * +Ulrich walks over to the captain and Sil [22:14] <+Ulrich> "other than the man being an insufferable arse I got nothing on him" [22:14] <@BradGM> Captain "I shall double the Watch. But for now, I'd better inform the passengers of the newest development." [22:14] <+Ulrich> "unless you want the dwarf to knock out a few of his teath that is" [22:14] * +Siluvaine nods. "Good luck Captain." [22:14] <@BradGM> **He also passes a purse to Siluvaine! Here, for your assistance. Also, a little money when going to Nuln is always a good thing." [22:15] <@BradGM> ((Your as in, you all, not just Sil.)) [22:15] * +Siluvaine nods. "Thank you." [22:16] * +Ulrich eyeballs that purse, and eye balls sil "that better get shared" [22:16] * +Siluvaine shrugs. "Of course." [22:16] <@BradGM> **The Captain leaves you and goes into the lounge, Explaining the newest development in the murder, and both relieving Alptraum of any suspicious, and allowing the passengers to move freely on the ship again.** [22:17] <@BradGM> **The purse contains 75 Crowns!** [22:17] <+Siluvaine> ((he pays better than the church...:) )) [22:17] * +Siluvaine returns to the dinning room, explaining the windfall. [22:17] * +Ulrich returns with her [22:17] * +Ulrich in hopes of food still being on the table [22:18] <@BradGM> **Well, there are some fruits as Meadhros and co. took as dessert..Edgerrin did finish everyone's ale for them (such a pal!)** [22:19] * +Ulrich grabs two or three fruit and heads to the room. [22:19] * +Siluvaine glances around to see if the Magister has remained. [22:20] <@BradGM> **Marsner is still at the table, yes, petting her cat, still silent as the tomb.** [22:20] * +Ulrich gets to his room and studies the tooth for details [22:21] <@BradGM> **Roll heal-30 Ulrich.** [22:21] * +Siluvaine approaches Marsner and lets her know quietly what eactly they found. [22:21] <+Ulrich> !dhroll 54 [22:21] <@Diceling> Ulrich: 24 Success by 3 degrees! [22:22] * +Aithorn will finish his meal and then try and spend some time on the wooden leg under the stars telling stories with whoever will come [22:22] <@BradGM> **The teeth seems to be of soemone of a certain social class, despite having more recent sing of bad treatment, or at least some sort of sudden change in the quality of care the owner gave his teeth. The person is in his late 20s you'd think Ulrich.** [22:23] <@BradGM> **Marsner nods at the news, Siluvaine, but keeps quiet.** [22:24] <+Ulrich> "interesting" [22:24] * +Siluvaine heads back to the table and sits. [22:24] <@BradGM> ((except if anyone wants to do somehting spcific, ok if we FFWD?)) [22:24] <+Ulrich> (sure) [22:24] <+Aithorn> ((FFWD away)) [22:26] <@BradGM> **The evening goes on and you all go to bed. Next morning, you get a nice breakfast of saussages and bread, cheeses with jam and some sweet tasting Ale. You should dock at Nuln around midday today.** [22:27] * Retrieving #shadowrun modes... [22:27] <@BradGM> **Time is rainy, not a big rain, but a light one that's typical of autumn times." [22:27] <@BradGM> **Time is rainy, not a big rain, but a light one that's typical of autumn times.** [22:28] * +Siluvaine is nice enough to disperse the funds (15 gold each) [22:28] * +Ulrich takes his gold [22:28] * +Aithorn takes time to ask the Purser or a crewman for suggestions about lodging in Nuln [22:30] <@BradGM> **Roll gossip+20 Aithorn.** [22:30] * +Ulrich checks on the wounded men fro the fight [22:31] <+Aithorn> !dhroll 49 [22:31] <@Diceling> Aithorn: 73 Failure by 2 degrees!

[22:33] <@BradGM> **A crewman talks to you about the Happy Bear a dockside Inn that's got good food, comfy rooms, and quite the ambiance. It is a sailor's inn, so don't expect a quiet evening to happen there, but the service is excellent. There are also private salons is the main hall is too much.** [22:33] <+Ulrich> (good job dude) [22:34] <+Ulrich> (totally worth that fate point for good homely lodging) [22:34] <@BradGM> **Ulrich, the wounded men are all doing all right- thanks to you** [22:35] * +Ulrich after checking on the wounded men he will seek out the noble from yesterday to see if he would like another bought of sparing [22:35] <@BradGM> **Suddenly, the ship's bell rings out. The Captain comes around the Lounge, where most passengers are right now "My apologies, but the pilot saw a wrecked coach in the distance that seems to have suffered an attack. I will send a party ashore to look at it." [22:36] <+Ulrich> (for f's sake) [22:36] <@BradGM> **Ulrich, the noble would rather now, not wanting to get wet.** [22:36] <+Ulrich> "slacker, combat is rarely when you want it with sunshine on your back" [22:36] * +Siluvaine finds a dry spot to watch the shore party. [22:36] * +Ulrich hears the bell and goes topside [22:38] <@BradGM> **You can see the wrecked coach, with a pair of horses. The Beasts seems to have been laid low, thier skin darken. The coach's door is swinging, caught in the wind. you see no living soul.** [22:38] * +Aithorn hears the bell, sees some crew lowering a lifeboat into the water and makes his way down to the lifeboat; hoping to pursuade someone to let him go along [22:39] <@BradGM> **The Captain is taking lead of a shore party to investigate.** [22:39] <@BradGM> **Aithorn, the Captain doesn't mind you coming.** [22:39] * +Siluvaine continues to watch. Its about the only interesting thing. [22:40] <@BradGM> ((anyone else wanting to go?)) [22:41] <+Siluvaine> ((nah)) [22:41] <+Alexi> ((Sure)) [22:42] <@BradGM> ((Edge?)) [22:43] <@Edgerrin> ((yes, sorry was brushing kids teeth)) [22:43] * @Edgerrin joins the party [22:46] <@BradGM> **The shoere party leaves under the rain to the shore. As you approach, you can see the scene is even more grusome from closer. The horses appears to have been eaten as they stood, as only thier back half remains, the other being only bloody gnawled skeletons. The whole area is covered with body parts, eaten by whoever attacked. The coach is msissing two wheels, blown form thier support. There is only the slamming door that remains on ti as well, the other having been rippe d apart form its hinges.** [22:47] <@BradGM> **The only body you found is inside the coach, of a fat noble or merchants or other rich folk, his eyes fixed and jaw slack, with his faat gut slip open and his entrails lying in his lap and floor.** [22:47] <+Alexi> "Vell, dis vos not bandits." [22:47] <@BradGM> Captain "Agreed. Let us be on our guard." [22:48] <@BradGM> **He orders his 4 marines to spread out a bit and keep an eye out.** [22:48] * @Edgerrin grips his hammer and circles the coach. [22:49] * +Aithorn will look at the tracks and try and get an idea of the number of attackers and if they left human bootprints or beastmen tracks [22:49] <@BradGM> **Those in the shore party Roll search.** [22:49] <+Aithorn> !dhroll 51 [22:49] <@Diceling> Aithorn: 14 Success by 3 degrees!

You also find scattered moeny all over the place, another evidence that was not made by human hands. You also find an invitation to the Countess's Masked ball for the coronation of the Magnus weapon. It is not named, so hard to know who was even aboard the coach.** [22:52] <@BradGM> **Oh wait, sorry, you can't read. You just find a letter with a piece of thick paper with some fancy writing in it.** [22:52] <+Ulrich> !dhroll 27 [22:52] <@Diceling> Ulrich: 41 Failure by 1 degree!

It gives it to Ulrich to confirm what he read. [22:55] <@BradGM> Captain "Ever after the War is over, we are far from safe as before." [22:55] <+Aithorn> "A foraging party would have taken the whole horse carcass, these seemed to be travelling somewhere. This coach was just in the wrong place." [22:57] <@BradGM> Captain "Morr judges them kindly." [22:58] <@BradGM> **Aithorn, the tracks as a couple of days old, so the surrounding should be safe as safe can be.** [22:59] <+Aithorn> "The beastmen have likely moved on, we can leave a message that Morr's priests have some new charges to take care of when we reach Nuln." [22:59] <@BradGM> Captain "I will report this as we arrive in Nuln. The city should send soemone to take care of the dead." [23:00] <@BradGM> Captain "The Priest will then take care of the souls."
