[20:24] <@BradGM> Entering Altdorf and making their way toward the Imperial Inn and the Shallyain Temple-Hospital, the Party had a chance to see the Emperor Karl Franz Himself as he rode his stallion in the streets, surrounded by Reikguard Knights. As the others reserved rooms and settled in, Ulrich took the Elves to the Shallyain Priestess, who used their prayers onto the Elves. Ulrich acted as uncouthly ulrican with the Mother Superior, which only got him kicked out of the Temple for the time being.
[20:24] <@BradGM> Next day, the Party went their own way; Alexi waiting four hours at the Imperil Fortress to cash in a decent bounty to buy himself another hat; unfortunately, his current headwear seems to hamper his sociability with the Altdorf citizenry. Aithorn checked on his Kith, searched for an Elven leathersmith and inquired to Lord Frederik for horses to rent. While his brother and friends are going well, they should be good to leave in a day or so, he was met with a dead end on his artisan, and learned that humans are not as trustworthy with horses as first thought.
[20:24] <@BradGM> . He did verify prices for travel on coach and boat to Nuln; the road being slightly cheaper if more dangerous- and still pricey. Edgerrin hit Little Karak, finding that the well-made sword they found at the Monastery of St-Abelard was Dwarven made, by a well-known Nuln Artisan named Grunbar Grimmsson. Siluvaine inquired with Saer about the symbol, but the merchant was too busy with the continuing boom of business to be of any help.
[20:24] <@BradGM> Worse, she felt a gloomy sense of being observed with deadly intent. She saw no one, but seems to lose her tail in the hussle and bussle of the Docks. Ulrich returned to the Temple of Ulric, setting an offering as proof of his prowess, and took part in prayers and took part in ritual cleansing in cold water. With most of the day past, the Party returned to the Imperial Inn around mid-afternoon.
[20:25] <@BradGM> The Inn is moderately packed, as it is only mid-afternoon
[20:25] * +Siluvaine takes a seat with the group. "I think I was being followed again. The cult is probably still around," she says quietly.
[20:26] * +Aithorn orders an ale and starts complaining about the prices of travel in the Empire
[20:26] <@Edgerrin> "Ya git a look at 'em?"
[20:26] * +Siluvaine shakes her head. "Just a feeling, I didn't see anyone specific. Hopefully they aren't invisible again."
[20:28] <+Aithorn> "Once we find this cup, what are we going to do with it?"
[20:28] <@Edgerrin> "Distroy ain't we?"
[20:29] <+Aithorn> "Should we ask Magister Marsner to come with us to Nuln? Or risk bringing it back here?"
[20:29] <@Edgerrin> *distroy it
[20:29] <@BradGM> ((that makes it all better Edge))
[20:29] <@BradGM> ((oh wait, it was the it missing, silly me))
[20:30] <+Siluvaine> "I don't know if she'd be willing to travel with us, but something we need to look into atleast."
[20:31] * +Aithorn nods in agreement.
[20:33] <+Siluvaine> "We may have to presume upon the Illuminator for a way to carry the chalice if she won't come with us."
[20:34] <+Siluvaine> "Although who knows what contact with the chalice might have caused in Nuln."
[20:34] <+Aithorn> "I think he's glad that this is the last piece of this puzzle."
[20:36] <+Siluvaine> 'I think we all are. I should deliver a message to the Amethyst college asking to speak to her again."
[20:39] * +Siluvaine pulls out her writing kit and starts a short note, asking Magister Marsner if she might be available for another ritual."
[20:40] <@BradGM> The Owner can arrange to have it delivered to the College; althought the nature of the palce may make it odd to deliver soemthing there.
[20:41] <+Aithorn> "If there is someone else following us, we should weigh the option if they know where we are headed or if we can throw them off."
[20:42] * +Siluvaine decides to take the letter herself.
[20:43] <+Siluvaine> "Any ideas how?"
[20:44] <@Edgerrin> "Ya wants us all ta go or maybe follow behind?"
[20:46] * +Siluvaine shrugs. "Couldn't hurt for a couple to go. For all we know Hammelfist is still mad at us."
[20:48] <+Aithorn> "Unless they know where we are headed, they might pass us on the road, but I have not been careful about our destination, not that I could have known."
[20:52] <+Siluvaine> "Or if they inquire about the inquiries we've been making."
[20:52] <@BradGM> ((oh the politics!))
[20:53] <@BradGM> ((and general witchhuntery))
[20:55] <+Siluvaine> "So we're walking to Nuln? When do we leave?"
[20:56] <@Edgerrin> "I thought we were watin' fer Aithorns kin to be able ta travel. They be going the same way. Safety in numbers."
[20:58] <+Aithorn> "We shoudl be able to travel soon, Imhol won't be able to travel until we get our answer back from the Amythest College."
[21:00] <@BradGM> ((Well, he won't have his leg grown back by then..))
[21:02] <@BradGM> ((Anyone planning to inform Hoffer of your findings?))
[21:03] <+Aithorn> ((I will))
[21:03] <+Siluvaine> ((nod))
[21:05] <@BradGM> It's about 4 now, there's still two and a half hours worth's of sunlight left.
[21:06] * +Siluvaine wraps her letter up. "I'll deliver this now, who wants to go with me?"
[21:07] <@BradGM> !dhroll 25
[21:07] <@Diceling> BradGM: 64 Failure by 3 degrees!
[21:07] <@Edgerrin> "Ill go with ya. Aithorn and alexi can trail us."
[21:07] <+Alexi> "Dot kin vork."
[21:07] <@Edgerrin> "If that be good with everyone."
[21:09] * +Aithorn nods "We'll give you a good headstart."
[21:10] * +Siluvaine nods and gets up and starts heading to the Amethyst college, keeping an eye out for her shadow.
[21:10] <@BradGM> Roll prception visulal Siluvaine!

[21:12] <@BradGM> He seems to see that you saw him, you think
[21:13] <+Siluvaine> ((Hoffer, not Hammelfist?))
[21:13] <+Siluvaine> "I think Hoffer is waiting for a report."
[21:13] <+Aithorn> ((witchhunters are like cockroaches...))
[21:13] <@Edgerrin> ((lol))
[21:13] <@BradGM> ((No, due to the butler's crappy rolls previously, he's currently tracking some other elf that's going toward the zoo.))
[21:14] <+Aithorn> ((no doubt we all look alike to him ;))
[21:14] <@Edgerrin> ((lolrotf))
[21:15] <@Edgerrin> ((Those pointy ears and almond eyes))
[21:15] <+Aithorn> "After the Amythest College, we'll see Hoffer."
[21:15] * +Siluvaine nods and continues on, keeping an eye out for any other surprises.
[21:17] * @Edgerrin follows keeping his guard up
[21:17] * +Aithorn lets them get a significant head start before setting out with Alexi
[21:17] <@BradGM> !roll 1d10

[21:18] <+Aithorn> ((i know, you might as well be walking around naked if you can't have a hat))
[21:18] <@BradGM> Things are rather calm in the University sector, sadly the smell of sewers is brought up with the Docks via the wind.
[21:19] <@Edgerrin> "Need a handkercheif lass?"
[21:19] <@BradGM> You manage to reach the Amethysh College without having any other trouble.
[21:20] * +Siluvaine gets her own handkercheif out. She glances at the doorway and sighs. "Well, you probably don't want to follow me in." She moves forward and sticks the hand with the letter into the doorway.
[21:21] <@BradGM> It takes a few moment until you feel the letter being taken away.
[21:22] * +Siluvaine pulls her hand back and checks to make sure everything is still where its supposed to be. "Right. Hoffer now."
[21:24] <@Edgerrin> "Lead on lass."
[21:24] <+Aithorn> "We made it here without seeing anybody follow us, would you like us to tail you to the Temple? Or as a group?"
[21:24] * @Edgerrin looks at Sil.
[21:26] * +Siluvaine shrugs. "Might as well keep up the tailing. Never know what might happen."
[21:26] <+Aithorn> "As you wish, we'll see you at the Temple of Sigmar."
[21:26] <@BradGM> Everyone roll perception visual; Edge gets a -20
[21:26] * +Siluvaine heads off, glancing around as usual.

[21:30] <@BradGM> Siluvaine, you see some tall man with a belly in robes looking at you, but he's just going into some shop.
[21:30] <@BradGM> Aithorn, you see the same man, he was suspicious, but he wasn't 'feeling' stressed or malicious himself.
[21:31] * +Aithorn makes a note of the man's description in case that face comes up again.
[21:32] * +Siluvaine continues on, deciding to keep an eye out for the guy, mentioning him to Edgerrin. Its good to keep the little people apprised of the bigger world.
[21:32] <+Aithorn> ((we just get them boxes to stand on and the problem sorts itself out))
[21:33] <@BradGM> A man in his late 20s. Long blond battered hair, dark brown robes.
[21:35] <@BradGM> Dr. Fisher is also part of the group as you reach the Temple of Sigmar, getting filled for the evening prayers.
[21:35] <@BradGM> The smell and sound of the city are repalced by incents/sweat and calming silence and prayers.
[21:36] * +Siluvaine motions to Fisher. "We need to talk to Hoffer."
[21:38] <@BradGM> He tries to look inconspicuous, but he quickly figures out that there's no point. "Follow me."
[21:39] <+Siluvaine> "Hah."
[21:39] * +Siluvaine motions for him to lead the way.
[21:40] * +Aithorn goes along trying not to step on any robes in the press of people
[21:40] <@BradGM> He takes you outside to the dependencies of the Temple, to the small Ordo Fidelis chapel Edgerrin and Ulrich once went.
[21:40] <@BradGM> Fisher "Wait outside for a moment."
[21:41] <@BradGM> He goes inside for a minute before he comes back and motions you inside.
[21:41] * +Siluvaine heads inside, trying not to start the conversation annoyed.
[21:42] <@Edgerrin> me goes in
[21:42] * @Edgerrin goes in
[21:42] * +Alexi follows
[21:42] * +Aithorn goes in
[21:43] <@BradGM> Hoffer is there with Jakob Bauer, the Witch Hunter you help innocented in Middenheim. While Hoffer is wearing Sigmarite robes, Bauer is wearing more practical clothing, armed with numerous weapons.
[21:44] * @Edgerrin nods to Bauer
[21:45] <@BradGM> Hoffer "Well settled in?"
[21:45] <@BradGM> Bauer slightly nods back to you Edge.
[21:46] <+Siluvaine> "Until we leave again."
[21:47] <@BradGM> Hoffer "That was retorical; you should have reported as soon as you arrived. What of those Elves you brought with you? Whathave you found at the Monastery?"
[21:48] <+Siluvaine> "Beastmen, but no chalice. We believe it was moved to Nuln by soldiers that fought at the Abbey."
[21:49] * MordentHex (MordentHex@121.58.tt.rxm) has joined #shadowrun
[21:49] * Edgerrin sets mode: +v MordentHex
[21:49] <@Edgerrin> ((YO))
[21:49] <+MordentHex> (yo, sorry, over slept)
[21:49] <+Aithorn> "They are my kinsmen who had been attacked by the same Beastmen. We hope to escort them home while we are on the road."
[21:49] <@BradGM> Hoffer "Nuln soldiers? I have not heard news or reports of Nuln soliders going to the Monastery."
[21:49] * MordentHex is now known as Ulrich
[21:49] <+Siluvaine> "How many men did you have following us around town, other than Fisher?"
[21:50] <+Ulrich> (shit, first name i see getting here is "hoffer")
[21:50] <@BradGM> ((Welcome into the thick of it!))
[21:52] <@Edgerrin> to Hoffer "we found dead soldiers in the graveyard wearing the colors of Nuln."
[21:52] <@BradGM> Hoffer "What, you are being shadowed? Fisher was honing his skills, which require more practice it appears."
[21:54] <+Ulrich> (someone catch me up please, lol)
[21:54] <+Siluvaine> "Ah. Well, maybe. There was a guy looking at me, but that just could be a coincidence."
[21:54] <@BradGM> Hoffer "Then it may well be there recently as the army returned, or when the Detatchments gathered to Altdorf for the march."
[21:55] <+Siluvaine> ((went to the Amethyst college to ask to talk to the Wizard who blew up the Dagger, then went to HOffer to explain what's going on))
[21:55] <@BradGM> ((Sil reported that she was tailed, you guys went and elivered a letter to the Amethyst college to meet Masrner , then you're reporting to Hoffer))
[21:55] <@BradGM> Hoffer "So it may well be somewhere in the middle Mountains, or in Nuln."
[21:56] <@Edgerrin> "We be thinkin' nuln."
[21:56] <+Ulrich> "but to be honest, It could be anywhere at this point."
[21:57] <@BradGM> Hoffer "Nuln is still the logical place. It such a relic would be in the hands of the Northern Horde, we would not be in a state of relative peace."
[21:57] <@BradGM> Hoffer "Or at the very least it has moved through the city."
[21:58] <+Ulrich> "the most logical destination, just saying, if not there, we are on a wild goose chase"
[21:58] <+Siluvaine> "So we're going to look for people that have information on the soldiers that were there. We'll need letters of introduction to your...associates there as well."

[22:02] <@BradGM> Hoffer "You may have an ally in Brother Stefen, the steward at the Iron dungeon."
[22:03] <@BradGM> Hoffer "I can have a letter arranged; but do remember that Nuln is not as pious as those scoundrels can make you beleive."
[22:03] <@BradGM> Bauer "Short of Verena."
[22:04] <+Siluvaine> "Verena?"
[22:04] <@BradGM> Hoffer "Yes; that may be thier only redeeming quality."
[22:05] <@BradGM> Hoffer "Verena, Godness of Learning and Truth, they pay lip-service to Sigmar compared to Verena."
[22:05] <+Ulrich> "huh.."
[22:06] <@BradGM> Hoffer looks at Ulrich "And if you think Altdorf lacks Ulricans, you will be surprised in Nuln; it is not as frozen as the rest of Wissenland."
[22:07] <+Ulrich> "I will check of course"
[22:07] * +Ulrich smiles
[22:09] <@BradGM> Hoffer "At any rate, there is the gunpwoder week coming soon, which may complicate matters."
[22:09] <+Aithorn> "Complicate matters? How so? We may be able to get there faster than walking, if the Temple can arrange it."
[22:11] <@BradGM> Hoffer "Gunpowder week is the City's celebration of itself. Most people the of surroundings villages will be visiting town, fireworks every night, a week's worth of copious celebration."
[22:11] <+Siluvaine> "Ah."
[22:11] <@BradGM> Bauer "There's also the Magnus."
[22:12] <@BradGM> Hoffer "Oh yes, the famous "Magnus", an artillery piece specifically made for the Wwar, which only costed thousands and did nothing."
[22:13] <@BradGM> Hoffer "And the Countess is throwing a Grand Ball for it's coronation, which our Emperor will be present."
[22:13] * +Aithorn raises an eyebrow.
[22:14] <+Ulrich> "lovely"
[22:14] <+Siluvaine> "Well, hopefully no one serves him wine with the Chalice."
[22:15] <+Ulrich> "all hell is going to be loosed in Nuln, pesents, royalty, and the emperor and every sot that wants to meet him."
[22:15] <@BradGM> Hoffer "If the Chalice's influence is allowed to bloom there, which I have no doubt is happening as we speak."
[22:17] <@BradGM> Hoffer "As for travel, I can see what arrangedments can be made. We would do well to contact Magister Marsner of the AMethys College as well."
[22:17] <+Ulrich> "question, if it comes down to it, our highest priority is?"
[22:18] <+Siluvaine> "Already contacted her before we came here, we're waiting for a reply."
[22:19] <@BradGM> Hoffer "Find and destroy the Chalice of Wrath of course!"
[22:20] * +Ulrich nods
[22:20] <@BradGM> Hoffer "your proactiveness is noted."
[22:21] <@BradGM> Hoffer "I will contact you today with travel information."
[22:21] <+Siluvaine> "Very well. I believe Aithorn wants to travel with some of his kinsmen."
[22:23] <@BradGM> Hoffer "Can they be of use to us?"
[22:23] <+Siluvaine> "They shoot arrows into Beastmen well. I assume cultists won't be any trouble."
[22:24] <+Aithorn> "If we are being followed, they would be of great assistance on the road. If we are not walking to Nuln, they may accompany us easily."
[22:25] <@Edgerrin> "I trust me freind Aithorn with me life, I trust his kin as well."
[22:26] <@BradGM> Hoffer "How about the one legged one?"
[22:27] <+Ulrich> "im sure he could find a prostetic somewhere.."
[22:27] <+Ulrich> "or between me and the dwarf we could have one built"
[22:28] <+Aithorn> "He can ride in a wagon or boat easily enough as he is."
[22:28] <@BradGM> Hoffer nods. "Very well. I shall return to you. Good afternoon."
[22:28] <+Ulrich> "should be able to ride a horse by now as well."
[22:29] * +Siluvaine nods and motions for Fisher to show them out.
[22:30] <@BradGM> He just motions to the door "Goodbye."
[22:31] * +Ulrich gets up and leaves
[22:31] * @Edgerrin once outside 1"He give me such a warm fellin' everytime we talk. I'll me' em when all this be done."

[22:32] * +Siluvaine rolls her eyes and heads out.
[22:33] <+Ulrich> "i will check with my temple to see if we can find any assistance there as well, I do not like being so dependent on that man."
[22:33] * +Aithorn leaves with the group.
[22:34] <@BradGM> You may have a little time left; Alexi/Aithorn can do a gossip roll (+20 and -10 respectively)
[22:35] <+Alexi> !dhroll 48

[22:36] <@BradGM> Alexi, being on the good side of town, you find a Hatter which offer a fine selection of fancy and outrageous hats! Aithorn, you seems to cause shock as yuo ask people in the Temple of Sigmar for an elven leathersmith "What, Human craftmansship's not good'nough for 'ya elfie? Leave tis palce!"

[22:39] <@Edgerrin> (oooooooo!))
[22:40] <@BradGM> Ulrich, Grand Priest Schiller can give you a letter of introduction for Father Erik Fuchs, Priest of Ulric at the small Oratory of Ulric in Nuln.
[22:40] * +Alexi plops down 5 crowns!
[22:40] <@Edgerrin> ((that better give you AP 5 to the head))
[22:41] <+Alexi> ((It iz a cunning hat!))
[22:41] * +Aithorn stops by a wine seller and purchases a decent wine and some dinner to take back to the Elves at the Shallayans and passes the evening telling stories before heading back to the Inn
[22:41] <@BradGM> No AP5 bonus, but I'll go for a +5% to fellowship based tests when dealing with nobles and social higher ups or for those who gets impressed by that sort of thing
[22:41] <+Ulrich> (cool, can I buy a fur mantle there as well?)
[22:42] <@BradGM> ((How much is that and what avail?))
[22:43] <+Ulrich> (10gc and average)
[22:43] <+Ulrich> (for common craftmanship)
[22:44] <+Ulrich> (wolf fur mantle is common craftmanship)
[22:44] <@BradGM> Aithorn, you can buy a good wine and food at the inn (make it 7 shillings for everything total). They are all feeling better as the Priestesses and the clean condition are doing wonders to thier health. They are ready to leave, with Imhol needing a crutch.

[22:45] <@Diceling> Ulrich: 46 Success by 1 degree!
[22:46] <@BradGM> The Temple would have that available; being a Priest they are allowing it to be sold to you.
[22:46] <@BradGM> ((+1 AP everywhere but the head IIRC?))
[22:46] <+Ulrich> "did it belong to anyone before?"
[22:46] <+Ulrich> (+1 to cheast and head only)
[22:46] <+Ulrich> (body and head +1)
[22:47] <@BradGM> Schiller "Yes, but it was not worn for some time, as most Initite head for Middenheim."
[22:47] <+Ulrich> "i see, i will treat it well, thank you."
[22:48] <@BradGM> At the inn, Siluvaine gets the visit from a purple robed man who delivered a folded note which merely said "At Midnight". It burns into a blueish flame right after she finishes reading it.
[22:48] <+Aithorn> ((and a daemon))
[22:49] * +Siluvaine holds it at the corner to prevent from being burned. "Are we meeting her there, or her here?" She asks the messenger hopefully.
[22:49] <@Edgerrin> (not even a "this message will self distruct in 5 seconds?...))
[22:50] <@BradGM> ((that's not wizardy.))
[22:51] * +Ulrich finish's his business at the temple say's his goodbyes and goes to meet the others"
[22:51] <@BradGM> The Messenger grins "Your request, her College."
[22:52] * +Siluvaine nods her thanks.
[22:54] * +Aithorn comes walking back into the Inn around 11pm, just before Siluvaine (and any others) are walking out.
[22:54] <@BradGM> Later, as you are all back at the Inn, a young initiate enters the inn. He looks around for a moment before going for you, or more specifically, Alexi "Excuse me sir, but I was told to deliver this."
[22:55] <+Alexi> "Vot?" Alexi will look at whatever the youngster has
[22:57] <@BradGM> It is a letter sealed with the symbol of the Ordo Fidelis.
[22:57] <+Alexi> "Tenk hyu."
[22:57] * +Alexi will tip the boy two shillings
[22:58] <@BradGM> The initiate seems unsure for a oment, and then leaves.
[22:58] * +Alexi will read the letter
[22:58] <@BradGM> The letter cannot be understood by Alexi as he does not know how to read.
[22:59] <+Alexi> *sigh* "Vot dos dis say?" Alexi motions to Siluvaine
[22:59] * +Siluvaine raises an eyebrow and takes the note, looking it over.
[22:59] * +Ulrich walks in, orders some food, and waits
[22:59] <@BradGM> The letter is from Hoffer; he has reserved cabins for you on the Emperor Wilhelm that departs tommorrow at midday from the Docks to Nuln.
[23:00] <+Aithorn> ((well that's convenient...))
[23:00] <@BradGM> Ulrich gets served a bowl of thick porridge with bread and cheese with an almond ale that's slightly bitter, but goes well with the porridge
[23:00] <+Siluvaine> "Travel arrangements." she glances around to see if anyone is paying to much attention, before lowering her voice. "We depart tomorrow on the Emperor Wilhelm."
[23:00] <@BradGM> ((Well, it's also the fastest way to get there.))
[23:01] <@Edgerrin> "A boat? i'd rather walk."
[23:01] <+Ulrich> "I agree"
[23:02] <@BradGM> Edgeering, you do get a flash that Kargun got his shop in Hülmagen, which is down the Reik.
[23:02] <@BradGM> And it is a stop for the boat, not a long one, but one at any rate
[23:02] <@Edgerrin> "Boat it is."
[23:04] <@BradGM> ((Apart form that, good to meet Marsner?))
[23:04] * +Siluvaine tucks the letter away. "Well, off to the Wizard's lair."
[23:05] <+Ulrich> "have fun"
[23:05] <@BradGM> ((We're off to see the Wizard, the wonderful wizard of DEATH))
[23:06] <@BradGM> Despite being in the middle of the night, the streets are still occupied with people; but instead of merchants and servants, it is fixers and racketeers, alongside other workers of the night that makes it hat Altdorf never sleeps.

[23:13] <@BradGM> You seems to see in the distance, numerous spires of magical nature; you even can see the magnificance of the Maethyst College up close rather than the illusionary 'haunted caslte' aspect the place usually brings.
[23:14] <@BradGM> You reach the College without seeing anyone or anything else.
[23:14] <+Ulrich> "nothing but magic towers and building everywhere.."
[23:15] * +Siluvaine eyes Ulrich, before stepping through the doorway.
[23:16] <@BradGM> This time, Ulrich dissapear as similar as Siluvaine, before the others are 'transported' insdie the temple, facing the usual guard of Schythe armed Wizards.
[23:16] <@BradGM> Master Gabrille Marsner is there, waiting for you."
[23:17] <@BradGM> "Marsner "thank you for your ponctuality. Come with me."
[23:17] * +Siluvaine nods and follows. "Thank you for seeing us."
[23:18] <@BradGM> Marsner takes you to a small salon and invites you to sit "Your letter spoke of urgency. The Last artefact?"
[23:20] * +Siluvaine nods. "Indeed. Our next step is Nuln. We were wondering if you could come with us to destroy the object."
[23:21] * +Siluvaine takes a seat, relaxing. "If not, we would have to transport it back here."
[23:22] <@BradGM> Marsner "I will have to discuss this with my Lord. But I am confident, as this is a dire thread to the Empire."
[23:23] <+Siluvaine> "Of courrse. The Witchhunters have been as enthusiastic as usual, and have provided accommodations for us to travel to Nuln tomorrow."
[23:24] <@BradGM> Marsner "Travel for tomorrow? Of which kind?"
[23:24] <+Siluvaine> "Boat."
[23:24] <+Ulrich> "boat"
[23:25] <@BradGM> Marsner keep silcne for a moment "A speedy way to travel. for when is the departure?"
[23:25] * +Aithorn pricks up his ears for this news.
[23:26] <+Siluvaine> "Noon."
[23:26] <@BradGM> Marsner "And the ship?"
[23:26] <+Siluvaine> "The Emperor Wilhelm."
[23:27] <@BradGM> Marsner keeps silence for another minute or so "Then we shall see eachtother there at noon tomorrow or not."
[23:27] * +Siluvaine nods. "Thank you for your time."
[23:29] * +Aithorn bows his thanks as well.
[23:29] <@BradGM> Marsner nods slightly "Until tomorrow, I hope."
[23:30] * +Siluvaine nods and stands. "Hope to see you there."
[23:31] <@BradGM> She escorts you back to the back door and you're back into the Streets of Altdorf.
[23:31] <@BradGM> End of chapter II!
[23:31] <+Aithorn> woo
[23:32] <@BradGM> And ok if we stop it there?
[23:32] <+Ulrich> sure

[23:32] <+Siluvaine> souns good
[23:32] <@Edgerrin> k
[23:32] <@BradGM> *End of Session***
[20:24] <@BradGM> Entering Altdorf and making their way toward the Imperial Inn and the Shallyain Temple-Hospital, the Party had a chance to see the Emperor Karl Franz Himself as he rode his stallion in the streets, surrounded by Reikguard Knights. As the others reserved rooms and settled in, Ulrich took the Elves to the Shallyain Priestess, who used their prayers onto the Elves. Ulrich acted as uncouthly ulrican with the Mother Superior, which only got him kicked out of the Temple for the time being.
[20:24] <@BradGM> Next day, the Party went their own way; Alexi waiting four hours at the Imperil Fortress to cash in a decent bounty to buy himself another hat; unfortunately, his current headwear seems to hamper his sociability with the Altdorf citizenry. Aithorn checked on his Kith, searched for an Elven leathersmith and inquired to Lord Frederik for horses to rent. While his brother and friends are going well, they should be good to leave in a day or so, he was met with a dead end on his artisan, and learned that humans are not as trustworthy with horses as first thought.
[20:24] <@BradGM> . He did verify prices for travel on coach and boat to Nuln; the road being slightly cheaper if more dangerous- and still pricey. Edgerrin hit Little Karak, finding that the well-made sword they found at the Monastery of St-Abelard was Dwarven made, by a well-known Nuln Artisan named Grunbar Grimmsson. Siluvaine inquired with Saer about the symbol, but the merchant was too busy with the continuing boom of business to be of any help.
[20:24] <@BradGM> Worse, she felt a gloomy sense of being observed with deadly intent. She saw no one, but seems to lose her tail in the hussle and bussle of the Docks. Ulrich returned to the Temple of Ulric, setting an offering as proof of his prowess, and took part in prayers and took part in ritual cleansing in cold water. With most of the day past, the Party returned to the Imperial Inn around mid-afternoon.
[20:25] <@BradGM> The Inn is moderately packed, as it is only mid-afternoon
[20:25] * +Siluvaine takes a seat with the group. "I think I was being followed again. The cult is probably still around," she says quietly.
[20:26] * +Aithorn orders an ale and starts complaining about the prices of travel in the Empire
[20:26] <@Edgerrin> "Ya git a look at 'em?"
[20:26] * +Siluvaine shakes her head. "Just a feeling, I didn't see anyone specific. Hopefully they aren't invisible again."
[20:28] <+Aithorn> "Once we find this cup, what are we going to do with it?"
[20:28] <@Edgerrin> "Distroy ain't we?"
[20:29] <+Aithorn> "Should we ask Magister Marsner to come with us to Nuln? Or risk bringing it back here?"
[20:29] <@Edgerrin> *distroy it
[20:29] <@BradGM> ((that makes it all better Edge))
[20:29] <@BradGM> ((oh wait, it was the it missing, silly me))
[20:30] <+Siluvaine> "I don't know if she'd be willing to travel with us, but something we need to look into atleast."
[20:31] * +Aithorn nods in agreement.
[20:33] <+Siluvaine> "We may have to presume upon the Illuminator for a way to carry the chalice if she won't come with us."
[20:34] <+Siluvaine> "Although who knows what contact with the chalice might have caused in Nuln."
[20:34] <+Aithorn> "I think he's glad that this is the last piece of this puzzle."
[20:36] <+Siluvaine> 'I think we all are. I should deliver a message to the Amethyst college asking to speak to her again."
[20:39] * +Siluvaine pulls out her writing kit and starts a short note, asking Magister Marsner if she might be available for another ritual."
[20:40] <@BradGM> The Owner can arrange to have it delivered to the College; althought the nature of the palce may make it odd to deliver soemthing there.
[20:41] <+Aithorn> "If there is someone else following us, we should weigh the option if they know where we are headed or if we can throw them off."
[20:42] * +Siluvaine decides to take the letter herself.
[20:43] <+Siluvaine> "Any ideas how?"
[20:44] <@Edgerrin> "Ya wants us all ta go or maybe follow behind?"
[20:46] * +Siluvaine shrugs. "Couldn't hurt for a couple to go. For all we know Hammelfist is still mad at us."
[20:48] <+Aithorn> "Unless they know where we are headed, they might pass us on the road, but I have not been careful about our destination, not that I could have known."
[20:52] <+Siluvaine> "Or if they inquire about the inquiries we've been making."
[20:52] <@BradGM> ((oh the politics!))
[20:53] <@BradGM> ((and general witchhuntery))
[20:55] <+Siluvaine> "So we're walking to Nuln? When do we leave?"
[20:56] <@Edgerrin> "I thought we were watin' fer Aithorns kin to be able ta travel. They be going the same way. Safety in numbers."
[20:58] <+Aithorn> "We shoudl be able to travel soon, Imhol won't be able to travel until we get our answer back from the Amythest College."
[21:00] <@BradGM> ((Well, he won't have his leg grown back by then..))
[21:02] <@BradGM> ((Anyone planning to inform Hoffer of your findings?))
[21:03] <+Aithorn> ((I will))
[21:03] <+Siluvaine> ((nod))
[21:05] <@BradGM> It's about 4 now, there's still two and a half hours worth's of sunlight left.
[21:06] * +Siluvaine wraps her letter up. "I'll deliver this now, who wants to go with me?"

[21:07] <@Diceling> BradGM: 64 Failure by 3 degrees!

[21:07] <@Edgerrin> "If that be good with everyone."
[21:09] * +Aithorn nods "We'll give you a good headstart."
[21:10] * +Siluvaine nods and gets up and starts heading to the Amethyst college, keeping an eye out for her shadow.

[21:13] <+Siluvaine> "I think Hoffer is waiting for a report."
[21:13] <+Aithorn> ((witchhunters are like cockroaches...))
[21:13] <@Edgerrin> ((lol))
[21:13] <@BradGM> ((No, due to the butler's crappy rolls previously, he's currently tracking some other elf that's going toward the zoo.))

[21:15] <@Edgerrin> ((Those pointy ears and almond eyes))
[21:15] <+Aithorn> "After the Amythest College, we'll see Hoffer."
[21:15] * +Siluvaine nods and continues on, keeping an eye out for any other surprises.
[21:17] * @Edgerrin follows keeping his guard up
[21:17] * +Aithorn lets them get a significant head start before setting out with Alexi

[21:18] <+Aithorn> ((i know, you might as well be walking around naked if you can't have a hat))
[21:18] <@BradGM> Things are rather calm in the University sector, sadly the smell of sewers is brought up with the Docks via the wind.
[21:19] <@Edgerrin> "Need a handkercheif lass?"
[21:19] <@BradGM> You manage to reach the Amethysh College without having any other trouble.
[21:20] * +Siluvaine gets her own handkercheif out. She glances at the doorway and sighs. "Well, you probably don't want to follow me in." She moves forward and sticks the hand with the letter into the doorway.
[21:21] <@BradGM> It takes a few moment until you feel the letter being taken away.
[21:22] * +Siluvaine pulls her hand back and checks to make sure everything is still where its supposed to be. "Right. Hoffer now."
[21:24] <@Edgerrin> "Lead on lass."
[21:24] <+Aithorn> "We made it here without seeing anybody follow us, would you like us to tail you to the Temple? Or as a group?"
[21:24] * @Edgerrin looks at Sil.
[21:26] * +Siluvaine shrugs. "Might as well keep up the tailing. Never know what might happen."
[21:26] <+Aithorn> "As you wish, we'll see you at the Temple of Sigmar."
[21:26] <@BradGM> Everyone roll perception visual; Edge gets a -20

[21:30] <@BradGM> Siluvaine, you see some tall man with a belly in robes looking at you, but he's just going into some shop.
[21:30] <@BradGM> Aithorn, you see the same man, he was suspicious, but he wasn't 'feeling' stressed or malicious himself.
[21:31] * +Aithorn makes a note of the man's description in case that face comes up again.
[21:32] * +Siluvaine continues on, deciding to keep an eye out for the guy, mentioning him to Edgerrin. Its good to keep the little people apprised of the bigger world.
[21:32] <+Aithorn> ((we just get them boxes to stand on and the problem sorts itself out))
[21:33] <@BradGM> A man in his late 20s. Long blond battered hair, dark brown robes.
[21:35] <@BradGM> Dr. Fisher is also part of the group as you reach the Temple of Sigmar, getting filled for the evening prayers.
[21:35] <@BradGM> The smell and sound of the city are repalced by incents/sweat and calming silence and prayers.
[21:36] * +Siluvaine motions to Fisher. "We need to talk to Hoffer."
[21:38] <@BradGM> He tries to look inconspicuous, but he quickly figures out that there's no point. "Follow me."
[21:39] <+Siluvaine> "Hah."
[21:39] * +Siluvaine motions for him to lead the way.
[21:40] * +Aithorn goes along trying not to step on any robes in the press of people
[21:40] <@BradGM> He takes you outside to the dependencies of the Temple, to the small Ordo Fidelis chapel Edgerrin and Ulrich once went.
[21:40] <@BradGM> Fisher "Wait outside for a moment."
[21:41] <@BradGM> He goes inside for a minute before he comes back and motions you inside.
[21:41] * +Siluvaine heads inside, trying not to start the conversation annoyed.
[21:42] <@Edgerrin> me goes in
[21:42] * @Edgerrin goes in
[21:42] * +Alexi follows
[21:42] * +Aithorn goes in
[21:43] <@BradGM> Hoffer is there with Jakob Bauer, the Witch Hunter you help innocented in Middenheim. While Hoffer is wearing Sigmarite robes, Bauer is wearing more practical clothing, armed with numerous weapons.
[21:44] * @Edgerrin nods to Bauer
[21:45] <@BradGM> Hoffer "Well settled in?"
[21:45] <@BradGM> Bauer slightly nods back to you Edge.
[21:46] <+Siluvaine> "Until we leave again."
[21:47] <@BradGM> Hoffer "That was retorical; you should have reported as soon as you arrived. What of those Elves you brought with you? Whathave you found at the Monastery?"
[21:48] <+Siluvaine> "Beastmen, but no chalice. We believe it was moved to Nuln by soldiers that fought at the Abbey."
[21:49] * MordentHex (MordentHex@121.58.tt.rxm) has joined #shadowrun
[21:49] * Edgerrin sets mode: +v MordentHex
[21:49] <@Edgerrin> ((YO))
[21:49] <+MordentHex> (yo, sorry, over slept)
[21:49] <+Aithorn> "They are my kinsmen who had been attacked by the same Beastmen. We hope to escort them home while we are on the road."
[21:49] <@BradGM> Hoffer "Nuln soldiers? I have not heard news or reports of Nuln soliders going to the Monastery."
[21:49] * MordentHex is now known as Ulrich
[21:49] <+Siluvaine> "How many men did you have following us around town, other than Fisher?"
[21:50] <+Ulrich> (shit, first name i see getting here is "hoffer")
[21:50] <@BradGM> ((Welcome into the thick of it!))
[21:52] <@Edgerrin> to Hoffer "we found dead soldiers in the graveyard wearing the colors of Nuln."
[21:52] <@BradGM> Hoffer "What, you are being shadowed? Fisher was honing his skills, which require more practice it appears."
[21:54] <+Ulrich> (someone catch me up please, lol)
[21:54] <+Siluvaine> "Ah. Well, maybe. There was a guy looking at me, but that just could be a coincidence."
[21:54] <@BradGM> Hoffer "Then it may well be there recently as the army returned, or when the Detatchments gathered to Altdorf for the march."
[21:55] <+Siluvaine> ((went to the Amethyst college to ask to talk to the Wizard who blew up the Dagger, then went to HOffer to explain what's going on))
[21:55] <@BradGM> ((Sil reported that she was tailed, you guys went and elivered a letter to the Amethyst college to meet Masrner , then you're reporting to Hoffer))
[21:55] <@BradGM> Hoffer "So it may well be somewhere in the middle Mountains, or in Nuln."
[21:56] <@Edgerrin> "We be thinkin' nuln."
[21:56] <+Ulrich> "but to be honest, It could be anywhere at this point."
[21:57] <@BradGM> Hoffer "Nuln is still the logical place. It such a relic would be in the hands of the Northern Horde, we would not be in a state of relative peace."
[21:57] <@BradGM> Hoffer "Or at the very least it has moved through the city."
[21:58] <+Ulrich> "the most logical destination, just saying, if not there, we are on a wild goose chase"
[21:58] <+Siluvaine> "So we're going to look for people that have information on the soldiers that were there. We'll need letters of introduction to your...associates there as well."

[22:03] <@BradGM> Bauer "Short of Verena."
[22:04] <+Siluvaine> "Verena?"
[22:04] <@BradGM> Hoffer "Yes; that may be thier only redeeming quality."
[22:05] <@BradGM> Hoffer "Verena, Godness of Learning and Truth, they pay lip-service to Sigmar compared to Verena."
[22:05] <+Ulrich> "huh.."
[22:06] <@BradGM> Hoffer looks at Ulrich "And if you think Altdorf lacks Ulricans, you will be surprised in Nuln; it is not as frozen as the rest of Wissenland."
[22:07] <+Ulrich> "I will check of course"
[22:07] * +Ulrich smiles
[22:09] <@BradGM> Hoffer "At any rate, there is the gunpwoder week coming soon, which may complicate matters."
[22:09] <+Aithorn> "Complicate matters? How so? We may be able to get there faster than walking, if the Temple can arrange it."
[22:11] <@BradGM> Hoffer "Gunpowder week is the City's celebration of itself. Most people the of surroundings villages will be visiting town, fireworks every night, a week's worth of copious celebration."
[22:11] <+Siluvaine> "Ah."
[22:11] <@BradGM> Bauer "There's also the Magnus."
[22:12] <@BradGM> Hoffer "Oh yes, the famous "Magnus", an artillery piece specifically made for the Wwar, which only costed thousands and did nothing."
[22:13] <@BradGM> Hoffer "And the Countess is throwing a Grand Ball for it's coronation, which our Emperor will be present."
[22:13] * +Aithorn raises an eyebrow.
[22:14] <+Ulrich> "lovely"
[22:14] <+Siluvaine> "Well, hopefully no one serves him wine with the Chalice."
[22:15] <+Ulrich> "all hell is going to be loosed in Nuln, pesents, royalty, and the emperor and every sot that wants to meet him."
[22:15] <@BradGM> Hoffer "If the Chalice's influence is allowed to bloom there, which I have no doubt is happening as we speak."
[22:17] <@BradGM> Hoffer "As for travel, I can see what arrangedments can be made. We would do well to contact Magister Marsner of the AMethys College as well."
[22:17] <+Ulrich> "question, if it comes down to it, our highest priority is?"
[22:18] <+Siluvaine> "Already contacted her before we came here, we're waiting for a reply."
[22:19] <@BradGM> Hoffer "Find and destroy the Chalice of Wrath of course!"
[22:20] * +Ulrich nods
[22:20] <@BradGM> Hoffer "your proactiveness is noted."
[22:21] <@BradGM> Hoffer "I will contact you today with travel information."
[22:21] <+Siluvaine> "Very well. I believe Aithorn wants to travel with some of his kinsmen."
[22:23] <@BradGM> Hoffer "Can they be of use to us?"
[22:23] <+Siluvaine> "They shoot arrows into Beastmen well. I assume cultists won't be any trouble."
[22:24] <+Aithorn> "If we are being followed, they would be of great assistance on the road. If we are not walking to Nuln, they may accompany us easily."
[22:25] <@Edgerrin> "I trust me freind Aithorn with me life, I trust his kin as well."
[22:26] <@BradGM> Hoffer "How about the one legged one?"
[22:27] <+Ulrich> "im sure he could find a prostetic somewhere.."
[22:27] <+Ulrich> "or between me and the dwarf we could have one built"
[22:28] <+Aithorn> "He can ride in a wagon or boat easily enough as he is."
[22:28] <@BradGM> Hoffer nods. "Very well. I shall return to you. Good afternoon."
[22:28] <+Ulrich> "should be able to ride a horse by now as well."
[22:29] * +Siluvaine nods and motions for Fisher to show them out.
[22:30] <@BradGM> He just motions to the door "Goodbye."
[22:31] * +Ulrich gets up and leaves
[22:31] * @Edgerrin once outside 1"He give me such a warm fellin' everytime we talk. I'll me' em when all this be done."
[22:32] <@BradGM> ((hehehe))
[22:32] * +Alexi will follow
[22:32] <+Ulrich> "yes, he is a sunny fella no doubt"
[22:32] * +Siluvaine rolls her eyes and heads out.
[22:33] <+Ulrich> "i will check with my temple to see if we can find any assistance there as well, I do not like being so dependent on that man."
[22:33] * +Aithorn leaves with the group.
[22:34] <@BradGM> You may have a little time left; Alexi/Aithorn can do a gossip roll (+20 and -10 respectively)
[22:35] <+Alexi> !dhroll 48
[22:35] <@Diceling> Alexi: 12 Success by 3 degrees!
[22:35] <@BradGM> The others can do anything else as well, if they wish
[22:35] <+Aithorn> !dhroll 10
[22:35] <@Diceling> Aithorn: 91 Failure by 8 degrees!
[22:35] * +Ulrich goes to check if hims temple can provide any assistance, and to visit the wolves.
[22:36] <+Siluvaine> "I'm going to head back to the Inn, incase there's a quick reply from the Magister."
[22:36] <@BradGM> Alexi, being on the good side of town, you find a Hatter which offer a fine selection of fancy and outrageous hats! Aithorn, you seems to cause shock as yuo ask people in the Temple of Sigmar for an elven leathersmith "What, Human craftmansship's not good'nough for 'ya elfie? Leave tis palce!"
[22:36] <@BradGM> Ulrich roll gossip+20
[22:37] <+Ulrich> !dhroll 62
[22:37] <@Diceling> Ulrich: 10 Success by 5 degrees!
[22:37] * +Alexi checks prices on the hats
[22:37] <+Ulrich> (ace!)
[22:39] <@BradGM> They got from 10 shillings for a rather dull one, to 5 Crowns for a best quality one with fine Kislevite beaver skin and adorned with a long pheasant feather.
[22:39] <@Edgerrin> (oooooooo!))
[22:40] <@BradGM> Ulrich, Grand Priest Schiller can give you a letter of introduction for Father Erik Fuchs, Priest of Ulric at the small Oratory of Ulric in Nuln.
[22:40] * +Alexi plops down 5 crowns!
[22:40] <@Edgerrin> ((that better give you AP 5 to the head))
[22:41] <+Alexi> ((It iz a cunning hat!))
[22:41] * +Aithorn stops by a wine seller and purchases a decent wine and some dinner to take back to the Elves at the Shallayans and passes the evening telling stories before heading back to the Inn
[22:41] <@BradGM> No AP5 bonus, but I'll go for a +5% to fellowship based tests when dealing with nobles and social higher ups or for those who gets impressed by that sort of thing
[22:41] <+Ulrich> (cool, can I buy a fur mantle there as well?)
[22:42] <@BradGM> ((How much is that and what avail?))
[22:43] <+Ulrich> (10gc and average)
[22:43] <+Ulrich> (for common craftmanship)
[22:44] <+Ulrich> (wolf fur mantle is common craftmanship)
[22:44] <@BradGM> Aithorn, you can buy a good wine and food at the inn (make it 7 shillings for everything total). They are all feeling better as the Priestesses and the clean condition are doing wonders to thier health. They are ready to leave, with Imhol needing a crutch.
[22:45] <@BradGM> Roll gossip +20 Ulrich
[22:45] <+Ulrich> !dhroll 62

[22:45] <+Ulrich> !dhroll 62
[22:45] <@Diceling> Ulrich: 46 Success by 1 degree!
[22:46] <@BradGM> The Temple would have that available; being a Priest they are allowing it to be sold to you.
[22:46] <@BradGM> ((+1 AP everywhere but the head IIRC?))
[22:46] <+Ulrich> "did it belong to anyone before?"
[22:46] <+Ulrich> (+1 to cheast and head only)
[22:46] <+Ulrich> (body and head +1)
[22:47] <@BradGM> Schiller "Yes, but it was not worn for some time, as most Initite head for Middenheim."
[22:47] <+Ulrich> "i see, i will treat it well, thank you."
[22:48] <@BradGM> At the inn, Siluvaine gets the visit from a purple robed man who delivered a folded note which merely said "At Midnight". It burns into a blueish flame right after she finishes reading it.
[22:48] <+Aithorn> ((and a daemon))
[22:49] * +Siluvaine holds it at the corner to prevent from being burned. "Are we meeting her there, or her here?" She asks the messenger hopefully.
[22:49] <@Edgerrin> (not even a "this message will self distruct in 5 seconds?...))
[22:50] <@BradGM> ((that's not wizardy.))
[22:51] * +Ulrich finish's his business at the temple say's his goodbyes and goes to meet the others"
[22:51] <@BradGM> The Messenger grins "Your request, her College."
[22:52] * +Siluvaine nods her thanks.
[22:54] * +Aithorn comes walking back into the Inn around 11pm, just before Siluvaine (and any others) are walking out.
[22:54] <@BradGM> Later, as you are all back at the Inn, a young initiate enters the inn. He looks around for a moment before going for you, or more specifically, Alexi "Excuse me sir, but I was told to deliver this."
[22:55] <+Alexi> "Vot?" Alexi will look at whatever the youngster has
[22:57] <@BradGM> It is a letter sealed with the symbol of the Ordo Fidelis.
[22:57] <+Alexi> "Tenk hyu."
[22:57] * +Alexi will tip the boy two shillings
[22:58] <@BradGM> The initiate seems unsure for a oment, and then leaves.
[22:58] * +Alexi will read the letter
[22:58] <@BradGM> The letter cannot be understood by Alexi as he does not know how to read.
[22:59] <+Alexi> *sigh* "Vot dos dis say?" Alexi motions to Siluvaine
[22:59] * +Siluvaine raises an eyebrow and takes the note, looking it over.
[22:59] * +Ulrich walks in, orders some food, and waits
[22:59] <@BradGM> The letter is from Hoffer; he has reserved cabins for you on the Emperor Wilhelm that departs tommorrow at midday from the Docks to Nuln.
[23:00] <+Aithorn> ((well that's convenient...))
[23:00] <@BradGM> Ulrich gets served a bowl of thick porridge with bread and cheese with an almond ale that's slightly bitter, but goes well with the porridge
[23:00] <+Siluvaine> "Travel arrangements." she glances around to see if anyone is paying to much attention, before lowering her voice. "We depart tomorrow on the Emperor Wilhelm."
[23:00] <@BradGM> ((Well, it's also the fastest way to get there.))
[23:01] <@Edgerrin> "A boat? i'd rather walk."
[23:01] <+Ulrich> "I agree"
[23:02] <@BradGM> Edgeering, you do get a flash that Kargun got his shop in Hülmagen, which is down the Reik.
[23:02] <@BradGM> And it is a stop for the boat, not a long one, but one at any rate
[23:02] <@Edgerrin> "Boat it is."
[23:04] <@BradGM> ((Apart form that, good to meet Marsner?))
[23:04] * +Siluvaine tucks the letter away. "Well, off to the Wizard's lair."
[23:05] <+Ulrich> "have fun"
[23:05] <@BradGM> ((We're off to see the Wizard, the wonderful wizard of DEATH))
[23:06] <@BradGM> Despite being in the middle of the night, the streets are still occupied with people; but instead of merchants and servants, it is fixers and racketeers, alongside other workers of the night that makes it hat Altdorf never sleeps.

[23:10] <@BradGM> Siluvaine gets the strange feeling to be observed. Alexi is dead certaint to be under scrutiny; perhaps his new hat makes the Party too much of a target?
[23:11] <@BradGM> Sil/Alexi can roll perception visual -20.

[23:12] <@Diceling> Ulrich: 41 Success by 1 degree!
[23:13] * +Ulrich sniffs the air
[23:13] <@BradGM> You seems to see in the distance, numerous spires of magical nature; you even can see the magnificance of the Maethyst College up close rather than the illusionary 'haunted caslte' aspect the place usually brings.
[23:14] <@BradGM> You reach the College without seeing anyone or anything else.
[23:14] <+Ulrich> "nothing but magic towers and building everywhere.."
[23:15] * +Siluvaine eyes Ulrich, before stepping through the doorway.
[23:16] <@BradGM> This time, Ulrich dissapear as similar as Siluvaine, before the others are 'transported' insdie the temple, facing the usual guard of Schythe armed Wizards.
[23:16] <@BradGM> Master Gabrille Marsner is there, waiting for you."
[23:17] <@BradGM> "Marsner "thank you for your ponctuality. Come with me."
[23:17] * +Siluvaine nods and follows. "Thank you for seeing us."
[23:18] <@BradGM> Marsner takes you to a small salon and invites you to sit "Your letter spoke of urgency. The Last artefact?"
[23:20] * +Siluvaine nods. "Indeed. Our next step is Nuln. We were wondering if you could come with us to destroy the object."
[23:21] * +Siluvaine takes a seat, relaxing. "If not, we would have to transport it back here."
[23:22] <@BradGM> Marsner "I will have to discuss this with my Lord. But I am confident, as this is a dire thread to the Empire."
[23:23] <+Siluvaine> "Of courrse. The Witchhunters have been as enthusiastic as usual, and have provided accommodations for us to travel to Nuln tomorrow."
[23:24] <@BradGM> Marsner "Travel for tomorrow? Of which kind?"
[23:24] <+Siluvaine> "Boat."
[23:24] <+Ulrich> "boat"
[23:25] <@BradGM> Marsner keep silcne for a moment "A speedy way to travel. for when is the departure?"
[23:25] * +Aithorn pricks up his ears for this news.
[23:26] <+Siluvaine> "Noon."
[23:26] <@BradGM> Marsner "And the ship?"
[23:26] <+Siluvaine> "The Emperor Wilhelm."
[23:27] <@BradGM> Marsner keeps silence for another minute or so "Then we shall see eachtother there at noon tomorrow or not."
[23:27] * +Siluvaine nods. "Thank you for your time."
[23:29] * +Aithorn bows his thanks as well.
[23:29] <@BradGM> Marsner nods slightly "Until tomorrow, I hope."
[23:30] * +Siluvaine nods and stands. "Hope to see you there."
[23:31] <@BradGM> She escorts you back to the back door and you're back into the Streets of Altdorf.
