[20:10] <@BradGM> High Priest Liebnitz was pleased with the news of the cultists’ death, but was less than stellar concerning the mutant panic. Nevertheless, he seemed content with the Party, until Alexi informed him they told a Watch patrol they were under Church business to get a escort back to the Temple of Ulric.
[20:11] <@BradGM> . Furious at the news, Liebnitz quickly dismissed both warriors and send everyone to the dungeon. Being searched, Brother Felix of the Brotherhood of the Axe, found the forbidden book you took from the Purple Hand, the Liber Mutantis, and hinted that your hour long stay just turned into a serious accusation of heresy. Left to rot for some time another prisoner was taken in, one of the Witch Hunter from the Ordo Fidelis, the hand crossbow man.
[20:11] <@BradGM> Forcing their way out of jail, they learned that another Witch Hunter was arrested with a forbidden chaotic book and his under arrest by the Watch. Moving to the Temple of Sigmar, the Party found it with doors closed, a large mob of citizens in front with the Law barely maintaining order. Entering via a discreet backdoor, they met the third Witch Hunter, the bald physician with the mutton chops, and proceeded into the chambers of the Grand Capitulary Stolz.
[20:11] <@BradGM> Stolz is a rather tall in his late 50s/early 60s, balding with a thin crown of white hair remaining around his head. A tablecloth covers his golden quilted robes as he is sitting at a large, ornated and engraved oak table, screaming dwarven workmanship. He is eating a small chicken with vegetables, cheese, bread and wine. He wipes his mouth as you enter and nods to the HCM “Hoffer. Welcome Back. Has Fisher informed you of the situation?”
[20:11] <@BradGM> HCM “He has not, your Excellency.”
[20:11] <@BradGM> Stolz’s glaze turn toward the Party. “So, you are the ones who brought the Relic to this Temple, a chaotic Artefact to the Temple of Ulric, fought off Skaven assassins in the sewers and skulked the streets at night chasing a conspiracy to poison the City’s wells? A well-filled schedule might I say. What are your names?”
[20:12] <+Alexi> "Hy yam Alexi."
[20:12] <+Aithorn> "Aithorn, of Athel Loren"
[20:13] <@BradGM> Ulrich "I am Ulrich Gutmann."
[20:14] * +Siluvaine rubs her neck and sighs. "Siluvaine." She then winces.
[20:15] <@BradGM> Stolz motions to the witch Hunters to sit down near him, then motions the rests of the chairs "Please, sit. Would you care for some wine before we delve into this perticular matter facing us?"
[20:16] <+Alexi> "No thank hyu."
[20:17] <@BradGM> Those who wish some, a servant bring a tin cup and a bottle of wine, pouring half a glass and leaving the bottle.
[20:17] * +Siluvaine takes a sip..anything to cut the pain a bit.
[20:20] <@BradGM> Stolz "Well, now the situation. Mister Bauer was arrested by the City Watch early this morning in the Neumarkt district, bloodied and in possesion a forbidden book, the Liber Chaotica, and an ceremonial dagger marked with a symbol of the Slayer God, Khorne, Sigmar forgives me."
[20:24] <+Alexi> "Dot doe not sound goot."
[20:25] <+Aithorn> "Are we to break him out of prison then?"
[20:25] <+Siluvaine> ((fuck's sake. Just had a brown out. Just letting you know if I suddenly disappear))
[20:25] <@BradGM> Stolz "Furthermore, he his a Witch Hunter of the Ordo Fidelis of the Temple of Sigmar, accused of Heresy and Chaos worship is a perfect occasion for the Ulricans to embarass us; knowing Liebnitz, he would use such trial to his adventage."
[20:25] <@BradGM> (damn, all right)
[20:26] * +Siluvaine considers such as she sits quietly, occasionally taking a sip of wine.
[20:28] <@BradGM> Stolz "With the current mutant scare, people will beleive a man they can see, whoever he is, rather than some shadowy story concerning some night prowler in the night."
[20:29] <@BradGM> HCM-Hoffer "They'll burn Bauer on the pyre with the concent of the Graf and the Law if we don't do something."
[20:31] <@BradGM> HCM-Hoffer "If they follow the usual procedure, I would be able to free him. With help." *He motions his hand toward your general direction.*
[20:31] * +Siluvaine definitely frowns at that.
[20:31] <+Alexi> "But vy vould he heff dot book?"
[20:32] <+Siluvaine> "Maybe he stumbled across another cult."
[20:33] * +Siluvaine winces and takes another sip of wine.
[20:33] <+Aithorn> "We're already wanted by the church of Ulric, on our way out of town if we're as smart as we think we are. We could take this... Boer with us."
[20:33] <@BradGM> Hoffer "My thought exactly; unconcious, he could not expain who he was, and the Watch simply arrested him, as they should."
[20:34] <@BradGM> Hoffer "They wud have healed him up while he was in shackles, ready for interogation."
[20:34] <+Siluvaine> "Why not tell them who he is?"
[20:37] <@BradGM> Stolz "He did, but while being interrogated, and transcripted. He also was arrested as being a cultist. He must now prove his innocence at his trial."
[20:38] <@BradGM> ((Yeah- old school justice; guilty until innocent))
[20:38] <+Alexi> "Ho. Goot luck mit dot."
[20:39] <+Aithorn> "I don't know how good we will be as lawyers, unless there is to be a trial by combat."
[20:39] <@BradGM> Stolz "Luck is what is required then; Hoffer, and you five as well, shall not attempt anything to liberate Bauer. His life is not the only one in play here."
[20:41] <@BradGM> Stolz "They would not stop at Bauer; if he is guilty, then Schutzmann, who is acting with the Graf's autority during His absence might I remind you, will come knocking at this door asking me to turn you and fisher to him."
[20:42] * +Siluvaine winces and takes another sip. "Sounds like it would be best for us to stay out of the way."
[20:43] <@BradGM> Stolz "If I refuse, then Liebnitz would certainly let loose his few Teutogen into the fray in the name of the law and demolish this Temple around him, while the population turn unto eachother, Sigmarites and Ulricans."
[20:45] <@BradGM> Stolz "News of the Temples' destruction would spread in all Middenland and the Northern Provinces, and the scene would repeat itself again. The Emperor would need to divert troops from the Imperial army to restore tjhe peace, but with the chaos host still out there, they will surely take aadventage of the situation and defenceless we would all be."
[20:45] <+Alexi> "Vell, dot certainly sounds depressing."
[20:46] <@BradGM> Stolz "So if Bauer burns, you will follow suit, and so will all of the Ordo Fidelis, except if the Grand Teogonist stand his ground, and risk civil war, or worse."
[20:48] <@BradGM> Hoffer "I beleive I will take up your offer for wine, Excellency."
[20:49] <@BradGM> Stolz "You will have time to develop a taste my dear Hoffer, for i am keeping you and Fisher in this Temple, for your protection."
[20:50] <@Edgerrin> "Wine ye say. Ya don't by chance have anything a bit stronger?"
[20:51] <@BradGM> Stolz turns to you "Not at this time of the day I'm afraid. Furthermore, I would want to sharp to better find evidence of Bauer's innocence."
[20:52] <+Alexi> "And vot kind uf evidence do hyu expect us to find?"
[20:52] * +Siluvaine winces.
[20:54] <@BradGM> Stolz "If Bauer found the Liber Chaotica with cultists, that either mean there is another body or bodies in an alley or hidden somewhere in Neumarkt or perhaps EastGate."
[20:54] * +Alexi snorts
[20:55] <+Alexi> "Ve found der book mit der cultists und ve vere accused of heresy."
[20:57] <+Siluvaine> "And last time we dealt with a church..well."
[20:57] <+Aithorn> "Did he say anything about a lead he had found? Or will we be searching the entire Neumarkt blind?"
[20:57] <@BradGM> Stolz "I understand you concern, but the trial of a Sigmarite witch hunter in Middenheim takes a rather overshadowing precense; furthermore, that would no doutb occupy Ulricans, as this will bring the faithful to the Temple."
[21:00] <@BradGM> Stolz "I have send a messenger to Cmdr. Schutzmann an hour ago, I am awaiting his report. I also have an agent in the Watch. I would have more information this afternoon."
[21:01] <@BradGM> Stolz "But your questions would make me conclude you will help This Temple to innocent Bauer?"
[21:02] <@BradGM> Stolz "Except, perhaps, your female companion? Are you..unconfortable in these halls, madam?"
[21:04] <@BradGM> *Hoffer snips out with the usual Witch Hunter's distain "She's a witch."
[21:04] <+Aithorn> "I don't enjoy the idea of giving a witch hunter another reason to find me. And I owe him a debt, he did save our lives. The church of Sigmar has at least not betrayed us yet, but the betrayl by the Church of Ulric stings us all deeply."
[21:05] * +Siluvaine frowns. "Well. That certainly makes me so much more inclined to help."
[21:06] <@BradGM> Stolz "Do forgive Hoffer. He is not known for his lack of zeal."
[21:07] <@BradGM> Stolz "But if you faced off agasint Ulricans, battle was no doutb joined. If healing is needed, then so shall it be, as a sing of my personal gratitude and Sigmar's Blessing."
[21:08] <+Siluvaine> "Healing before and after. And protection from the Ulricans if needed. And a reward."
[21:09] * +Siluvaine coughs and winces, taking another sip of the wine.

[21:31] <+Siluvaine> "So why should we help?"
[21:32] <@BradGM> Stolz "I can offer you a place to rest and hide within those Halls; I will make sure a knock is known for and shown to you for the back door. I am awaiting to know the details of the accusation officially and trial date. I would suspect a two or three days delay, as it is sual to build the pedestrals for the trial."

[21:47] <@BradGM> Stolz "As I said, be careful outside, but there shuld be a few day's delay befor the trial, so you should have more than enough time to meet your friends- they are in middenheim, correct?"
[21:47] <@Edgerrin> "They be."

From what you know of those district, Eastgate (the far right one, near the walls) is a districts of entertiament, from the Imperial Academy of Music (#23) that's on the map, going to lower quality as you go down south. Neumarkt has now replaced the Altmarkt districts as *the* place to buys goods, foodsstuffs and anything else.

[22:20] <Edgerrin> ok
[22:21] <BradGM> far loower left
[22:23] <Edgerrin> do you want to rp this or just roll to see how it goes?
[22:27] <BradGM> we can roll it; you want to tell pieter waht? the palce is clear but wait a few days before going in?
[22:27] <BradGM> due to the temple of Ulric knowing about that palce?
[22:27] <Edgerrin> No i want to tell him tostay away that it was a cultist hive and its not safe right now
[22:28] <BradGM> ah ok
[22:28] <Edgerrin> yes and tell him of Ulric
[22:28] <Edgerrin> and see if he knows where to get a good set of lock picks
[22:28] <BradGM> good as in good quality?

[22:31] <BradGM> yes.
[22:33] <BradGM> damn
[22:33] <BradGM> ..fate it?
[22:33] <Edgerrin> fuck no
[22:33] <Edgerrin> waste of a fate
[22:35] <BradGM> Pieter flips, as he really likes to have his head attatched to his neck...but he is relieved he is not associated with it. It won't help anyone's situation for the moment, so that's a stalemate and doesn't help his case with his partners.
[22:36] * Edgerrin reminds him that they wiped out the cultists for him or they'd still be there and it could have made things worse for him.
[22:37] <Edgerrin> "We atl east got rid of the rats for ya."
[22:38] <BradGM> Pieter "Yeah, but that doesn't help me now, see? But maybe with a lil' time I can work sumthin'out."
[22:39] <BradGM> Pieter "So what'else you wanted to ask?"
[22:39] * Edgerrin nods, thanks him and leaves for the guild
[22:39] <Edgerrin> "Oh, i was looking for a nice set of picks."
[22:40] <BradGM> Pieter "Wut? Whatcha need picks for?..y'know, that ain't wise to know.."
[22:40] <BradGM> Roll gossip+10 since you did just bring up that whole did your job and such part.
[22:40] <Edgerrin> "I'm taking up a new hobby."
[22:41] <Edgerrin> woot!
[22:41] <Edgerrin> lol
[22:42] <BradGM> just to know a good quality is oly good looking and lighter, no bonus
[22:42] <Edgerrin> we can use a different channel for rolling
[22:43] <Edgerrin> try warhammer
[22:44] <Edgerrin> thats ok. Are they sturier?
[22:44] <Edgerrin> sturdier
[22:44] <Edgerrin> less likely to break
[22:46] <BradGM> yes, well worked, not unique, but it was made by a very skilled artisan
[22:46] <BradGM> and 30 gold
[22:46] <Edgerrin> ok
[22:47] <BradGM> he would need some time, he tells you to come back tomorrow.
[22:47] <Edgerrin> 30 wow
[22:47] <BradGM> 10 base, x3 for good quality
[22:47] * Edgerrin tells him to hold off
[22:48] <BradGM> ((You would be able to pick locks with a makeshift mehthod, but you'd get a -10 to -20 for using innapropirate tools
[22:48] <Edgerrin> ((im gonna as kthe guild if they have any t hey use on things they make))
[22:48] <Edgerrin> yeah dont have 30 gc well i do but it would almost break me
[22:49] <BradGM> Pieter "Got to spend mony to make money, yeah?"
[22:49] <BradGM> Pieter "Harharhar."
[22:49] * Edgerrin laughs. 'got ta have the money ta spend and I still need ta get othet things."
[22:50] <Edgerrin> "I'll be back." 6Edge says with a grin
[22:53] * Edgerrin will head to t he engineers guild to find Balor. He'll make sure his hood is pulled up to avoid recognition
[22:57] <BradGM> Balor is actually working the day shift now.
[22:57] <BradGM> Balor "What are you doing hiding like an old woman?"
[22:58] <BradGM> Balor "got a cold grandma?"
[22:58] <Edgerrin> "Ya need to be careful. the temple of Ulric arrested us after the raid."
[22:59] <Edgerrin> 'aslo would the guild have a set of lockpicks for sale?"
[22:59] <BradGM> Balor "Arrested?" *He comes closer* "What happened?"
[22:59] <BradGM> ((haha, how subtle "so I might be a heretic..so you go t some criminal tools?))
[23:00] <Edgerrin> trying to move the closk ahead\
[23:00] <Edgerrin> "We told the high priest what happened and he blew iz top."
[23:00] <BradGM> if you explain the misunderstood with the Watch patrol and Liebnitz and all, roll gossip +20, if not, just gossip
[23:00] <Edgerrin> "Hot headed one he is."
[23:01] <Edgerrin> yeah i will
[23:02] <Edgerrin> "We told em we got an escort wit hthe wqatch and he didnt like that. Wasnted high secrecy i guess."
[23:02] <BradGM> Balor "Lockpicks? Not for anything illegal? I remember a certai map.."
[23:03] <Edgerrin> "Nah not for any thing like that. looking for some ta help us when we have to retrieve things for the church."
[23:03] <BradGM> Balor "Whut? They arrrest you and you still work for those fools?"
[23:04] <Edgerrin> 'We been coming across some trapped and locked building when we be out looking for artifacts and none of us got the right tools or training."
[23:04] <Edgerrin> "No we not be working for them. Back to our original employer, Sigmar."
[23:04] <Edgerrin> "It be a long and convoluted story."
[23:05] <Edgerrin> 'we got ourselves caught in a church war."
[23:06] <BradGM> Balor "Humans..I got my cousin, Bagor, a few streets bacvk here, he works a chest shop. Tell him I send you he would loan you one for a..day?"
[23:07] <Edgerrin> "Wanted to buy one outright"
[23:07] <Edgerrin> Dont wanna loose it on someone."
[23:08] <BradGM> Balor "It will cost you.."
[23:08] <Edgerrin> How much?
[23:08] <BradGM> He writes a note and gives it to you for Bagor.
[23:08] <BradGM> 25 Crowns.
[23:08] <Edgerrin> "Me thanks"
[23:08] <Edgerrin> "Better offer than i got earlier."
[23:08] <Edgerrin> 'I oew ya another pint.{"
[23:09] <BradGM> Balor "Make it a Bugman this time Brother!"
[23:09] <Edgerrin> "Will do" :)
[23:09] * Edgerrin thanks Balor and heads back to the church
[23:11] <BradGM> You knock and you are brought in; you are also told that Stolz rquests your presence.
[23:12] <BradGM> ((return to main room.))
SILUVAINE
[22:43] <Siluvaine> Hmm. Would Siluvaine be able to get semi-elaborate mask? Thinking something like red leather that covers her from cheekbones to hairline
[22:44] <BradGM> roll gossip o ask arund th e guild for that
[22:45] <BradGM> No one knows, but perhaps check some clothing shops in the merhcant quarters might have something like that.
[22:50] * Siluvaine writes out a long letter detailing everything that's happened (and is going to happen with the Sigmarites) and tucks it away hidden in her room, but in a place where someone searching might find it if she disappears.
[22:50] * Siluvaine then heads out to the merchant quarter, looking for the mask.
[22:54] <BradGM> Roll gossip again.
[22:56] <BradGM> First shop you cross, you see a mask shop.
[22:57] * Siluvaine glances around to see if she's being observed before she heads into the shop.
[22:58] <BradGM> Roll it!"
[23:01] <BradGM> You moved just like Aithron, unseen and unnoticed!
[23:03] <BradGM> you find the maks you want, you can get it as the book price, pick your quality as well.
[23:04] * Siluvaine gets good quality (so 30 silver total, IIRC))
[23:06] <BradGM> ((yup))
[23:07] * Siluvaine keeps her purchase wrapped up and makes her way to the temple via a circuitous route, checking to see if she's followed
[23:08] <BradGM> roll again
[23:09] <BradGM> You are certain you are not followed.
[23:10] <BradGM> You arrive at the back door and get taken inside.
[23:10] <BradGM> You are told Stolz requests your presence.
[23:11] * Siluvaine has someone lead the way.
[20:10] <@BradGM> High Priest Liebnitz was pleased with the news of the cultists’ death, but was less than stellar concerning the mutant panic. Nevertheless, he seemed content with the Party, until Alexi informed him they told a Watch patrol they were under Church business to get a escort back to the Temple of Ulric.
[20:11] <@BradGM> . Furious at the news, Liebnitz quickly dismissed both warriors and send everyone to the dungeon. Being searched, Brother Felix of the Brotherhood of the Axe, found the forbidden book you took from the Purple Hand, the Liber Mutantis, and hinted that your hour long stay just turned into a serious accusation of heresy. Left to rot for some time another prisoner was taken in, one of the Witch Hunter from the Ordo Fidelis, the hand crossbow man.
[20:11] <@BradGM> Forcing their way out of jail, they learned that another Witch Hunter was arrested with a forbidden chaotic book and his under arrest by the Watch. Moving to the Temple of Sigmar, the Party found it with doors closed, a large mob of citizens in front with the Law barely maintaining order. Entering via a discreet backdoor, they met the third Witch Hunter, the bald physician with the mutton chops, and proceeded into the chambers of the Grand Capitulary Stolz.
[20:11] <@BradGM> Stolz is a rather tall in his late 50s/early 60s, balding with a thin crown of white hair remaining around his head. A tablecloth covers his golden quilted robes as he is sitting at a large, ornated and engraved oak table, screaming dwarven workmanship. He is eating a small chicken with vegetables, cheese, bread and wine. He wipes his mouth as you enter and nods to the HCM “Hoffer. Welcome Back. Has Fisher informed you of the situation?”
[20:11] <@BradGM> HCM “He has not, your Excellency.”
[20:11] <@BradGM> Stolz’s glaze turn toward the Party. “So, you are the ones who brought the Relic to this Temple, a chaotic Artefact to the Temple of Ulric, fought off Skaven assassins in the sewers and skulked the streets at night chasing a conspiracy to poison the City’s wells? A well-filled schedule might I say. What are your names?”
[20:12] <+Alexi> "Hy yam Alexi."
[20:12] <+Aithorn> "Aithorn, of Athel Loren"
[20:13] <@BradGM> Ulrich "I am Ulrich Gutmann."
[20:14] * +Siluvaine rubs her neck and sighs. "Siluvaine." She then winces.
[20:15] <@BradGM> Stolz motions to the witch Hunters to sit down near him, then motions the rests of the chairs "Please, sit. Would you care for some wine before we delve into this perticular matter facing us?"
[20:16] <+Alexi> "No thank hyu."
[20:17] <@BradGM> Those who wish some, a servant bring a tin cup and a bottle of wine, pouring half a glass and leaving the bottle.
[20:17] * +Siluvaine takes a sip..anything to cut the pain a bit.
[20:20] <@BradGM> Stolz "Well, now the situation. Mister Bauer was arrested by the City Watch early this morning in the Neumarkt district, bloodied and in possesion a forbidden book, the Liber Chaotica, and an ceremonial dagger marked with a symbol of the Slayer God, Khorne, Sigmar forgives me."
[20:24] <+Alexi> "Dot doe not sound goot."
[20:25] <+Aithorn> "Are we to break him out of prison then?"
[20:25] <+Siluvaine> ((fuck's sake. Just had a brown out. Just letting you know if I suddenly disappear))
[20:25] <@BradGM> Stolz "Furthermore, he his a Witch Hunter of the Ordo Fidelis of the Temple of Sigmar, accused of Heresy and Chaos worship is a perfect occasion for the Ulricans to embarass us; knowing Liebnitz, he would use such trial to his adventage."
[20:25] <@BradGM> (damn, all right)
[20:26] * +Siluvaine considers such as she sits quietly, occasionally taking a sip of wine.
[20:28] <@BradGM> Stolz "With the current mutant scare, people will beleive a man they can see, whoever he is, rather than some shadowy story concerning some night prowler in the night."
[20:29] <@BradGM> HCM-Hoffer "They'll burn Bauer on the pyre with the concent of the Graf and the Law if we don't do something."
[20:31] <@BradGM> HCM-Hoffer "If they follow the usual procedure, I would be able to free him. With help." *He motions his hand toward your general direction.*
[20:31] * +Siluvaine definitely frowns at that.
[20:31] <+Alexi> "But vy vould he heff dot book?"
[20:32] <+Siluvaine> "Maybe he stumbled across another cult."
[20:33] * +Siluvaine winces and takes another sip of wine.
[20:33] <+Aithorn> "We're already wanted by the church of Ulric, on our way out of town if we're as smart as we think we are. We could take this... Boer with us."
[20:33] <@BradGM> Hoffer "My thought exactly; unconcious, he could not expain who he was, and the Watch simply arrested him, as they should."
[20:34] <@BradGM> Hoffer "They wud have healed him up while he was in shackles, ready for interogation."
[20:34] <+Siluvaine> "Why not tell them who he is?"
[20:37] <@BradGM> Stolz "He did, but while being interrogated, and transcripted. He also was arrested as being a cultist. He must now prove his innocence at his trial."
[20:38] <@BradGM> ((Yeah- old school justice; guilty until innocent))
[20:38] <+Alexi> "Ho. Goot luck mit dot."
[20:39] <+Aithorn> "I don't know how good we will be as lawyers, unless there is to be a trial by combat."
[20:39] <@BradGM> Stolz "Luck is what is required then; Hoffer, and you five as well, shall not attempt anything to liberate Bauer. His life is not the only one in play here."
[20:41] <@BradGM> Stolz "They would not stop at Bauer; if he is guilty, then Schutzmann, who is acting with the Graf's autority during His absence might I remind you, will come knocking at this door asking me to turn you and fisher to him."
[20:42] * +Siluvaine winces and takes another sip. "Sounds like it would be best for us to stay out of the way."
[20:43] <@BradGM> Stolz "If I refuse, then Liebnitz would certainly let loose his few Teutogen into the fray in the name of the law and demolish this Temple around him, while the population turn unto eachother, Sigmarites and Ulricans."
[20:45] <@BradGM> Stolz "News of the Temples' destruction would spread in all Middenland and the Northern Provinces, and the scene would repeat itself again. The Emperor would need to divert troops from the Imperial army to restore tjhe peace, but with the chaos host still out there, they will surely take aadventage of the situation and defenceless we would all be."
[20:45] <+Alexi> "Vell, dot certainly sounds depressing."
[20:46] <@BradGM> Stolz "So if Bauer burns, you will follow suit, and so will all of the Ordo Fidelis, except if the Grand Teogonist stand his ground, and risk civil war, or worse."
[20:48] <@BradGM> Hoffer "I beleive I will take up your offer for wine, Excellency."
[20:49] <@BradGM> Stolz "You will have time to develop a taste my dear Hoffer, for i am keeping you and Fisher in this Temple, for your protection."
[20:50] <@Edgerrin> "Wine ye say. Ya don't by chance have anything a bit stronger?"
[20:51] <@BradGM> Stolz turns to you "Not at this time of the day I'm afraid. Furthermore, I would want to sharp to better find evidence of Bauer's innocence."
[20:52] <+Alexi> "And vot kind uf evidence do hyu expect us to find?"
[20:52] * +Siluvaine winces.
[20:54] <@BradGM> Stolz "If Bauer found the Liber Chaotica with cultists, that either mean there is another body or bodies in an alley or hidden somewhere in Neumarkt or perhaps EastGate."
[20:54] * +Alexi snorts
[20:55] <+Alexi> "Ve found der book mit der cultists und ve vere accused of heresy."
[20:57] <+Siluvaine> "And last time we dealt with a church..well."
[20:57] <+Aithorn> "Did he say anything about a lead he had found? Or will we be searching the entire Neumarkt blind?"
[20:57] <@BradGM> Stolz "I understand you concern, but the trial of a Sigmarite witch hunter in Middenheim takes a rather overshadowing precense; furthermore, that would no doutb occupy Ulricans, as this will bring the faithful to the Temple."
[21:00] <@BradGM> Stolz "I have send a messenger to Cmdr. Schutzmann an hour ago, I am awaiting his report. I also have an agent in the Watch. I would have more information this afternoon."
[21:01] <@BradGM> Stolz "But your questions would make me conclude you will help This Temple to innocent Bauer?"
[21:02] <@BradGM> Stolz "Except, perhaps, your female companion? Are you..unconfortable in these halls, madam?"
[21:04] <@BradGM> *Hoffer snips out with the usual Witch Hunter's distain "She's a witch."
[21:04] <+Aithorn> "I don't enjoy the idea of giving a witch hunter another reason to find me. And I owe him a debt, he did save our lives. The church of Sigmar has at least not betrayed us yet, but the betrayl by the Church of Ulric stings us all deeply."
[21:05] * +Siluvaine frowns. "Well. That certainly makes me so much more inclined to help."
[21:06] <@BradGM> Stolz "Do forgive Hoffer. He is not known for his lack of zeal."
[21:07] <@BradGM> Stolz "But if you faced off agasint Ulricans, battle was no doutb joined. If healing is needed, then so shall it be, as a sing of my personal gratitude and Sigmar's Blessing."
[21:08] <+Siluvaine> "Healing before and after. And protection from the Ulricans if needed. And a reward."
[21:09] * +Siluvaine coughs and winces, taking another sip of the wine.
[21:09] <@BradGM> Roll gossip Siluvaine.

[21:11] <+Siluvaine> ((no..and spent the one fate point I have not to get a 100 on the last gossip test I had))
[21:13] <@BradGM> Stolz looked at you quite shocked by your sudden demands. "I would recommend to watch your tongue madam! Despite your current state, this is no reason to not conduct ourselves in proper fasion."
[21:15] <@Edgerrin> "Do we have time ta git some stuff? WE be running all over creation and had no time to rest or restock since we got here."
[21:15] <@BradGM> Stolz gets up and begins to pray in classical. He moves toward you Siluvaine; you can see the winds moving around Stolz turning into a light that 'feels' warm to you. He touches you (except if you stop him.
[21:17] <+Siluvaine> ((Is he touching me in a place that would require me to later show on a doll where he touched me?))

[21:21] <@BradGM> Stolz "There, healing and the best reward of all; Sigmar's Blessing. An all in one."
[21:22] <@BradGM> Ulrich seems quite impressed by Stolz's action and your sudden reabilitation.
[21:24] <@BradGM> Stolz "Does anyone of you need healing?"
[21:25] <+Aithorn> "I would be grateful if you could do the same for me."

[21:29] <@Edgerrin> (I think I'm at full health. asked though if we had time to get stuff)
[21:29] <@BradGM> Stolz politely, slightly, bows to you Alexi as his answer.
[21:31] <+Siluvaine> "So why should we help?"
[21:32] <@BradGM> Stolz "I can offer you a place to rest and hide within those Halls; I will make sure a knock is known for and shown to you for the back door. I am awaiting to know the details of the accusation officially and trial date. I would suspect a two or three days delay, as it is sual to build the pedestrals for the trial."
[21:33] <@BradGM> Stolz "You may also eat with the congregation members."
[21:35] <@BradGM> Stolz "If you are successful, then we will help you move away from Liebinitz' reach the time the dust settled down on your memory in the City."
[21:36] <+Alexi> "Und vot about my job as a vatchman?"
[21:36] <@Edgerrin> "Ye wouldn't have a latern, some oil and a crow bar ye can spare do ya?"

[21:40] <@BradGM> Stolz "If those can help you, then we can help you, Slayer-Friend."
[21:40] <@BradGM> Stolz signals a servant to fetch those things.
[21:40] <@Edgerrin> "Be much obligied if ya can."
[21:41] * +Alexi will tell him
[21:41] * +Siluvaine sighs and rubs the side of her face.
[21:41] <@BradGM> ((Alexi: Graftmunbd; the fancy-smanchy district))
[21:42] <@BradGM> Stolz "Then at least you will not meet a familiar face in Neumkart."
[21:45] <@BradGM> Stolz "But I will personally talk to commander Schutzmann about your situation and your assistance, your success in freeing Bauer will surely get you back into the fold and with a good purse as a bonus."
[21:45] <+Alexi> "Tenk hyu."
[21:46] <@Edgerrin> "I need to be seeing a few people if i can before we git goin. There be time?"
[21:47] <@BradGM> Stolz "As I said, be careful outside, but there shuld be a few day's delay befor the trial, so you should have more than enough time to meet your friends- they are in middenheim, correct?"
[21:47] <@Edgerrin> "They be."
[21:49] <@BradGM> Stolz "I would also bound you to secrecy on this all affair, for reasons of security for the Trial and everyone's security."

[21:54] <@BradGM> Stolz "If Anyone of you has nothing to ad, we can finish this audiance."

[21:57] <@BradGM> ((Aithorn/Alexi?))
[21:57] <@Edgerrin> "Thank ye your Grace. I be seeing you at dinner."

[21:57] <+Aithorn> "Thank you for the healing. Hopefully your messengers will have returned by dinner. Which way to the beds?"
[21:59] <@BradGM> Stolz "I will send a servant to show you and take you to the backdoor. Hoffer, do wait for them there, have a signal arranged and return to me."

[22:02] * +Siluvaine gets to her feet and starts heading in the direction of the backdoor.
[22:02] <@BradGM> Stolz sends you away and he sits back down, continuing his meal. Aithorn, a servant takes you to a medium-sized room with a tiny 1'x1' window. There are 6 simple beds and a twin-tailed comet symbol on the wall.
[22:03] <@BradGM> Who else apart from Edgerrin and Siluvaine are leaving the Temple
[22:04] <@Edgerrin> "Sil where ya be heading?"
[22:05] * +Aithorn will clean his gear and take a long overdue nap
[22:05] <@BradGM> Aithorn; The room also have a heavy wooden door with a simple ring as handle.
[22:06] <+Siluvaine> "The guild."
[22:07] <@Edgerrin> "Do ye want some company. Saftey in numbers and all?"
[22:07] <@Edgerrin> 'Then if ye want ye can come with me."
[22:10] <@BradGM> ((he kills trolls..she's a merhcnat-wizard..they fight crime!))
[22:10] * +Siluvaine shrugs. "I doubt you'll be left in the guild. It may just be simpler to meet back up here later."
[22:11] <@Edgerrin> "Ok suit yerself."
[22:11] <@Edgerrin> "I be going to warn Pieter ta stay low then i be going to the engineers guild if anybody be looking fur me."
[22:12] <@BradGM> Hoffer gives you a knocking signal to get you to get the back door open to get in. He also tells you how to get 'out back' via the Nef, if the temple ever opens up again.
[22:13] <@BradGM> Hoffer "You watch your back, trust no one."
[22:13] * +Siluvaine shrugs. "Of course not."
[22:14] <@Edgerrin> ."Aye."
[22:15] <@BradGM> A temple guard check via the view-window, then, open the door, chekc outside, and let you out.
[22:16] <@BradGM> Alexi, what are you doing?
[22:17] * +Siluvaine looks around for signs of observation and makes for the guild.
[22:17] <+Alexi> looking over maps of the district, trying to guess where the cultists might be
[22:19] <@BradGM> Roll search; you would have the +20 bonus for supernumerate.

[22:20] <@BradGM> Siluvaine, you only have a short skip to reach the Guild, you see no one following or spying on you.
[22:21] * @Edgerrin heads to find Pieter at the last drop
[22:22] * +Siluvaine heads in to get a bath and some sleep.
[22:26] <@BradGM> Alexi, you observe the drawn map the Temple has of Middenheim. Looking at the East Gate-Neumarkt districts, you not too sure where Bauer could have started from with the book. From what you know of those district, Eastgate (the far right one, near the walls) is a districts of entertiament, from the Imperial Academy of Music (#23) that's on the map, going to lower quality as you go down south. Neumarkt has now replaced the Altmarkt districts as *the* place to buys goods, foodsstuffs and anything else.
[22:28] <+Aithorn> ((Third floor, men's wear, small appliances, chaos tomes, and lawnmowers))
[22:28] <+Alexi> "Dot vos uf de killing vun, so hy kin heliminate sum of dese places..."
[22:30] <+Aithorn> ((non-employees working strange hours woudl be wierd, I assume there are also the usual distribution of dwellings and inns there? or is it almost exclusively shops?))

[22:49] <Diceling> Alexi: 37 Success by 1 degree!
[22:53] <@BradGM> Aithron, you would gain another wound as you slept almost 6 hours. Alexi; you think that a entertaiment den in EastGate might be a good location to hide a cult lair, lots of coming and going, and you did hear some story about some Jade Cult that raised "naked deamon-crabs wimmin'. " according to a fellow Watchman in the drunken Templar Tavern (#25) they all got killed quickly since most of the army was near the Eastern Gatem, and the Witch Hunter burned it down.
[22:54] * +Alexi marks it on the map
[22:55] <+Siluvaine> !dhroll 38
[22:55] <Diceling> Siluvaine: 6 Success by 3 degrees!
[22:55] <@BradGM> You theorised that the cult may be hidden somehwere in the lower taverns, or those with a violence/battle ambiance perhaps, or maybe even blood trails.
[23:00] <+Siluvaine> !dhroll 60
[23:00] <Diceling> Siluvaine: 99 Failure by 3 degrees!

[23:09] <+Siluvaine> !dhroll 60
[23:09] <Diceling> Siluvaine: 10 Success by 5 degrees!
[23:12] <@BradGM> Stolz is there with Hoffer and Fisher. They and being served pig by servants. "Ha, gentlmen, please, do join us, we have news."
[23:13] <@BradGM> Siluvaine is brought in some time after you arrive, quickly followed by Edgerrin.
[23:14] * +Siluvaine looks to have found time to change and go shopping.
[23:14] <@BradGM> While you are served pig with vegetable and gravy with potatoes and bread+cheese with wine, Stolz explains to you that Schuzmann set the trial, a public affair in three day,s time. Stolz will act as the defence, as Bauer is a sigmarite, and Liebnitz will act as the procecusion.
[23:16] <@BradGM> The trial will be hld at the Square of Martial
[23:16] <@BradGM> (#3)
[23:16] * +Siluvaine sticks to the bread and cheese and wine and vegetables as she eats, listening.
[23:16] * @Edgerrin returns to the tmeple
[23:17] <@BradGM> Stolz "I believe you have used our libraries Sir Kislevite, I hope you have found something to your liking."
[23:18] <+Alexi> "Yah, Hy tink dey might be hidink in Eastgate. Dere is an entertainment den dere dot vould be easy-peasy cover."
[23:20] <+Siluvaine> "That was quick."
[23:20] <@BradGM> Solz "Yes, we all saw this with the Drunken Templar accident. When would yu be able to begin your investigation?"
[23:20] * +Alexi shrugs. "Ven hy gots my axe."
[23:21] <@BradGM> Alexi, you were not diarmed yet during your stay at the temple; coming with a Witch hunter sorta does that for a man.
[23:21] <+Aithorn> "How long will it take to walk there?"
[23:22] <@BradGM> Stolz "15, 20 minutes, perhaps."
[23:23] <+Aithorn> "Then it will take at least 16 minutes before we can start investigating. But no more."
[23:25] <@BradGM> Stolz simply nods "I will give you a permission to move without bother of the Watch, but keep in mind that minds are tense; not all would be..helpful to a Sigmarite."
[23:28] <+Siluvaine> "So it seems."
[23:29] <@BradGM> Stolz gets paper and seal and make a note informting that you all, your names are written, that are acting as legate agent for the Defence of the Trial of the Heretic Bauer on behlaf of the Grant Capitulary Stolz
[23:31] <@BradGM> Stolz "May Sigmar guide your search."
[23:32] * +Siluvaine guesses that's their cue to go...
[23:33] <@BradGM> Oh, you are allowed to finish your meal; just that you feel that lingering might be a faux pas.
[23:33] * @Edgerrin shoves as much food as he can in his mouth wwashes it downb with a big swig of wine and gets ready to go.
[23:34] <@BradGM> ((Ok if we stop it as you leave?))
[23:34] <+Aithorn> ((sounds good))
[23:35] <+Siluvaine> ((sounds good))
[23:35] <@Edgerrin> ((sure i got kids to put to bed))
[23:35] <@BradGM> *End of Session*

[22:20] <Edgerrin> ok
[22:21] <BradGM> far loower left
[22:23] <Edgerrin> do you want to rp this or just roll to see how it goes?
[22:27] <BradGM> we can roll it; you want to tell pieter waht? the palce is clear but wait a few days before going in?
[22:27] <BradGM> due to the temple of Ulric knowing about that palce?
[22:27] <Edgerrin> No i want to tell him tostay away that it was a cultist hive and its not safe right now
[22:28] <BradGM> ah ok
[22:28] <Edgerrin> yes and tell him of Ulric
[22:28] <Edgerrin> and see if he knows where to get a good set of lock picks
[22:28] <BradGM> good as in good quality?

[22:33] <BradGM> ..fate it?
[22:33] <Edgerrin> fuck no
[22:33] <Edgerrin> waste of a fate
[22:35] <BradGM> Pieter flips, as he really likes to have his head attatched to his neck...but he is relieved he is not associated with it. It won't help anyone's situation for the moment, so that's a stalemate and doesn't help his case with his partners.
[22:36] * Edgerrin reminds him that they wiped out the cultists for him or they'd still be there and it could have made things worse for him.
[22:37] <Edgerrin> "We atl east got rid of the rats for ya."
[22:38] <BradGM> Pieter "Yeah, but that doesn't help me now, see? But maybe with a lil' time I can work sumthin'out."
[22:39] <BradGM> Pieter "So what'else you wanted to ask?"
[22:39] * Edgerrin nods, thanks him and leaves for the guild
[22:39] <Edgerrin> "Oh, i was looking for a nice set of picks."
[22:40] <BradGM> Pieter "Wut? Whatcha need picks for?..y'know, that ain't wise to know.."
[22:40] <BradGM> Roll gossip+10 since you did just bring up that whole did your job and such part.
[22:40] <Edgerrin> "I'm taking up a new hobby."
[22:41] <Edgerrin> woot!
[22:41] <Edgerrin> lol
[22:42] <BradGM> just to know a good quality is oly good looking and lighter, no bonus
[22:42] <Edgerrin> we can use a different channel for rolling
[22:43] <Edgerrin> try warhammer
[22:44] <Edgerrin> thats ok. Are they sturier?
[22:44] <Edgerrin> sturdier
[22:44] <Edgerrin> less likely to break
[22:46] <BradGM> yes, well worked, not unique, but it was made by a very skilled artisan
[22:46] <BradGM> and 30 gold
[22:46] <Edgerrin> ok
[22:47] <BradGM> he would need some time, he tells you to come back tomorrow.
[22:47] <Edgerrin> 30 wow
[22:47] <BradGM> 10 base, x3 for good quality
[22:47] * Edgerrin tells him to hold off
[22:48] <BradGM> ((You would be able to pick locks with a makeshift mehthod, but you'd get a -10 to -20 for using innapropirate tools
[22:48] <Edgerrin> ((im gonna as kthe guild if they have any t hey use on things they make))
[22:48] <Edgerrin> yeah dont have 30 gc well i do but it would almost break me
[22:49] <BradGM> Pieter "Got to spend mony to make money, yeah?"
[22:49] <BradGM> Pieter "Harharhar."
[22:49] * Edgerrin laughs. 'got ta have the money ta spend and I still need ta get othet things."
[22:50] <Edgerrin> "I'll be back." 6Edge says with a grin
[22:53] * Edgerrin will head to t he engineers guild to find Balor. He'll make sure his hood is pulled up to avoid recognition
[22:57] <BradGM> Balor is actually working the day shift now.
[22:57] <BradGM> Balor "What are you doing hiding like an old woman?"
[22:58] <BradGM> Balor "got a cold grandma?"
[22:58] <Edgerrin> "Ya need to be careful. the temple of Ulric arrested us after the raid."
[22:59] <Edgerrin> 'aslo would the guild have a set of lockpicks for sale?"
[22:59] <BradGM> Balor "Arrested?" *He comes closer* "What happened?"
[22:59] <BradGM> ((haha, how subtle "so I might be a heretic..so you go t some criminal tools?))
[23:00] <Edgerrin> trying to move the closk ahead\
[23:00] <Edgerrin> "We told the high priest what happened and he blew iz top."
[23:00] <BradGM> if you explain the misunderstood with the Watch patrol and Liebnitz and all, roll gossip +20, if not, just gossip
[23:00] <Edgerrin> "Hot headed one he is."
[23:01] <Edgerrin> yeah i will
[23:02] <Edgerrin> "We told em we got an escort wit hthe wqatch and he didnt like that. Wasnted high secrecy i guess."
[23:02] <BradGM> Balor "Lockpicks? Not for anything illegal? I remember a certai map.."
[23:03] <Edgerrin> "Nah not for any thing like that. looking for some ta help us when we have to retrieve things for the church."
[23:03] <BradGM> Balor "Whut? They arrrest you and you still work for those fools?"
[23:04] <Edgerrin> 'We been coming across some trapped and locked building when we be out looking for artifacts and none of us got the right tools or training."
[23:04] <Edgerrin> "No we not be working for them. Back to our original employer, Sigmar."
[23:04] <Edgerrin> "It be a long and convoluted story."
[23:05] <Edgerrin> 'we got ourselves caught in a church war."
[23:06] <BradGM> Balor "Humans..I got my cousin, Bagor, a few streets bacvk here, he works a chest shop. Tell him I send you he would loan you one for a..day?"
[23:07] <Edgerrin> "Wanted to buy one outright"
[23:07] <Edgerrin> Dont wanna loose it on someone."
[23:08] <BradGM> Balor "It will cost you.."
[23:08] <Edgerrin> How much?
[23:08] <BradGM> He writes a note and gives it to you for Bagor.
[23:08] <BradGM> 25 Crowns.
[23:08] <Edgerrin> "Me thanks"
[23:08] <Edgerrin> "Better offer than i got earlier."
[23:08] <Edgerrin> 'I oew ya another pint.{"
[23:09] <BradGM> Balor "Make it a Bugman this time Brother!"
[23:09] <Edgerrin> "Will do" :)
[23:09] * Edgerrin thanks Balor and heads back to the church
[23:11] <BradGM> You knock and you are brought in; you are also told that Stolz rquests your presence.
[23:12] <BradGM> ((return to main room.))
SILUVAINE
[22:43] <Siluvaine> Hmm. Would Siluvaine be able to get semi-elaborate mask? Thinking something like red leather that covers her from cheekbones to hairline
[22:44] <BradGM> roll gossip o ask arund th e guild for that
[22:45] <BradGM> No one knows, but perhaps check some clothing shops in the merhcant quarters might have something like that.
[22:50] * Siluvaine writes out a long letter detailing everything that's happened (and is going to happen with the Sigmarites) and tucks it away hidden in her room, but in a place where someone searching might find it if she disappears.
[22:50] * Siluvaine then heads out to the merchant quarter, looking for the mask.
[22:54] <BradGM> Roll gossip again.
[22:56] <BradGM> First shop you cross, you see a mask shop.
[22:57] * Siluvaine glances around to see if she's being observed before she heads into the shop.
[22:58] <BradGM> Roll it!"
[23:01] <BradGM> You moved just like Aithron, unseen and unnoticed!
[23:03] <BradGM> you find the maks you want, you can get it as the book price, pick your quality as well.
[23:04] * Siluvaine gets good quality (so 30 silver total, IIRC))
[23:06] <BradGM> ((yup))
[23:07] * Siluvaine keeps her purchase wrapped up and makes her way to the temple via a circuitous route, checking to see if she's followed
[23:08] <BradGM> roll again
[23:09] <BradGM> You are certain you are not followed.
[23:10] <BradGM> You arrive at the back door and get taken inside.
[23:10] <BradGM> You are told Stolz requests your presence.
[23:11] * Siluvaine has someone lead the way.
