[20:11] <@BradGM> With everyone back at the Monastery, the Party moved into the Abbey to search the hidden passage. Meanwhile, Alexi and Ulrich cut the Beastsmen’s heads, either for religious or monetary reasons, much to the Elves’ disgust, especially Lindara. Ulirch bluntly refuted her claims, and demanded a decorum of respect concerning Human methods and affairs. Alexi added to the lot, indirectly, as he had to treat the heads against decomposition and the rot it brings. The others searched the abbey and found the secret entrance to the reliquiae, now desecrated and with nothing left of holy worth saving.
[20:11] <@BradGM> While they found the pedestal holding the Chalice devoid of any object, a sword, covered in human blood by Aithorn’s judgement, was lying beside it. By Edgerrin’s eyes it was Dwarven made, he even found what may be the maker’s mark, a pair of interlaping runes. Siluvaine found under a smashed chest a pair of magical gloves, made over 200 years ago by one of the first human Wizards. The only other objects of worth was found behind a dwarven padlocked door, which Edgerrin picked and kept; the Abbey’s books and ledger; the Last Holy Image of Sigmar left untouched, and the worth of the Monastery’s current fortune of 324 Crowns.
[20:12] <@BradGM> The decision was made to give 100 Crowns’ worth of the smaller coinage to Suderberg, as a way for them to buy supplies for the wintertime, with the Party splitting the rest up evenly (much to Siluvaine’s chagrin). Seeing to help Imhol being dragged by horse, Ulrich asked for Aithorn to find some holly. Managing to find some near the Monastery’s cemetery, the elf was beckoned toward a small building, where he witnesses numerous bodies having been chopped off horribly. Chasing back in total shock to the others, Edgerrin went to confirm this, and being made of harder stuff, looked in more detail to see those men were not Monastery guards, but Halberd-wielding Soldiers of Nuln.
[20:12] <@BradGM> Alexi finished his head conserving and they made thier way to Suderberg, where they now be seen as friends, having moved from the barn and into the people’s homes. Imhol’s bandages were cleaned and he was well taken care of, despite not having regained consciousness yet. Aithorn asked and received a local concoction that would help Imhol’s recuperation. The Party travelled unevenly to the coaching inn, and after half day or so, arrived to the Toll Station that’s about 4 hours to Altdorf, Imperial Capital.
[20:15] <@BradGM> Once again, you must pay a penny a leg, a shilling per horse's pair of legs.
[20:16] * +Siluvaine sighs and thinks next time they go on a mission for someone, they should get a toll pass, and passes the coinage over.
[20:16] <@Edgerrin> ((Wene't dwarves free?))
[20:16] * +Aithorn pays for the toll for Maedhros, Lindara, and Imhol ((only 7 pennies! too bad Imhol isn't in a position to appreciate his thriftiness))
[20:16] <@BradGM> ((Hoffer gave you 50 crowns!))
[20:17] <@BradGM> ((no; that's the toll to enter the Altdorf proper))
[20:18] * @Edgerrin pays the two pennies
[20:19] * +Alexi will pay
[20:19] <@BradGM> Maedhros "Only Humans can ask for coin to walk the land."
[20:20] * +Siluvaine motions to the forest. "You're perfectly fine to walk that without paying."
[20:21] <@BradGM> Maedhros "I will not abandonned my Kith."
[20:22] * +Siluvaine shrugs. "I'm just saying. They're not making you pay to walk the land, they're making you pay to walk the road."
[20:23] <+Aithorn> "It's not their fault they need roads to travel instead of appreciating their land. The toll is just an added insult to the land that they don't see."
[20:23] <+Alexi> "Ven hyu make de effort to patrol de roads, den hyu kin zay der vill be no payments."
[20:25] <+Aithorn> "In the two years since the Storm of Chaos, I'd wager that the bounties on the beastmen slain by my cousins would pay the wages of four times the number of roadwardens."
[20:25] <+Alexi> "Den vy heff hyu not done dot?"
[20:28] <@BradGM> Maedhros "Contrary to you, we do this not for our own wealth; Our arms defend a force that you humans can barely understand."
[20:28] <@BradGM> Lindara murmurs a "Let the matter drop" in Elf to Maedhros.
[20:28] <+Aithorn> "Sadly, it is all we can do to keep our own land safe, perhaps someday it could be, but my people can no more leave our land than the northmen could go to Bretonnia."
[20:29] * +Alexi nods as if that settles his point
[20:31] <@BradGM> Traffic on the roads begins to gets more obvious and present, as..
[20:31] <@BradGM> !roll 1d10
[20:31] <@Diceling> BradGM: 3
[20:31] * +Siluvaine continues along.
[20:31] <@BradGM> ..acrid odours gets taken by the wind.
[20:32] * +Siluvaine grimaces. "Well, atleast it isn't fish."
[20:32] * +Aithorn continues along the road, trying to ignore the curious stares and sneers of the other travellers.
[20:33] <@BradGM> Lindara "What is this? I see no smoke, yet my troat is irritated."
[20:33] <+Aithorn> "The students in Altdorf don't get out enough or they would riot over this."
[20:34] <@Edgerrin> "It be called civilization."
[20:35] <@BradGM> Maedhros "Ancient and wicked."
[20:37] * @Edgerrin chuckles at the stuck up elf.
[20:37] <@BradGM> As you approach Altdrof, you can see the City Walls, and the numerous Spires. You also see a good line of people at the Gate, possibly haviing you wait an hour or so. Boats are moving along the Reik as well, with goods and people.
[20:38] <+Aithorn> "If you stand tall and don't smile, they tend to leave you alone."
[20:39] * +Siluvaine sighs as she sees the line.
[20:39] <@BradGM> !dhroll 33
[20:39] <@Diceling> BradGM: 21 Success by 1 degree!
[20:41] <@BradGM> Some folks in the line near you seems curious aobut Imhol, and the fact there's 3 other wood elves going to Altdorf "Yer buddy lost a leg eh? You should go visit Franz's in the Docks, best peg-leg fer' yer coins!"
[20:42] <+Siluvaine> "I'm sure they'll keep that in mind, thank you."
[20:43] <@BradGM> Peasant "He look dead."
[20:43] <@BradGM> Peasent 2 "Nah, da' elf' turn into birds when they die, everyone knows that."
[20:44] * +Siluvaine glances back, looking over Imhol, making sure he hasn't died during the trip.
[20:45] <@BradGM> Ulrich is keeping an eye on him; he's still alive.
[20:46] * +Aithorn tries not to laugh out loud at the peasant or scowl too deeply.
[20:46] <@BradGM> Lindara and Maedhros looks at odd at Peasent superstition.
[20:47] * +Siluvaine doesn't correct the peasant's superstition. A knowledgeable customer base is an annoying customer base.
[20:48] <@BradGM> It takes you an hour to reach the gate; 2 pennies per leg, 2 shillings per pairs of leg's horses; As this is the Imperial Capital, Dwarves pay no toll.
[20:48] * @Edgerrin strolls thru the gate, 1"I love this town."
[20:50] * +Siluvaine sighs and passes the rest of the coins along. "Maybe we should have gone directly to Nuln."
[20:50] <@BradGM> You get into the masses of Altdorf! No one cares about you, but at least they give a little space due to Siluvaine's horse. It smells like sweat, it's loud and it's darker due to the housing architecture.
[20:51] * +Siluvaine puts her handkerchief up to her nose. "The Imperial Inn first, then try to find Hoffer?"
[20:53] <@Edgerrin> "Be fine by me."
[20:53] * +Siluvaine glances at Ulrich. "Is there any hospice or something the wounded should be at?"
[20:54] <@BradGM> Ulrich "We can try the Temple of Shallya, There is a Hospital there too."
[20:54] <@BradGM> Ulrich "It's on the other side of the Reik too, so not too far from the Inn."
[20:55] * +Siluvaine glances over the hicks..I mean, wood elves to see if that would be a problem.
[20:57] <@BradGM> Maedhros "As long as we are away from...this."
[20:57] <@BradGM> They are obviously disgusted/shock/not liking their situation.
[20:58] * @Edgerrin looks at the elves. 1"We get ya healed up and on yer way quick as we can."
[20:58] * +Aithorn nods, "The Shallayans are about as far removed from this as you can hope for. And they will shorten your stay here too."
[20:58] * +Siluvaine shrugs and makes her way towards the Inn.
[21:01] <@BradGM> You move toward the Reik and across it, to the horrible smell of open sewers at the Docks.
[21:02] <@BradGM> !dhroll 100
[21:02] <@Diceling> BradGM: 1 Success by 9 degrees!
[21:03] * +Siluvaine grimaces at the smell, and continues on. "we'll need information on Nuln and contacts there."
[21:03] <+Aithorn> ((impressive, the smell is now strong enough to peel paint off of buildings))
[21:04] <@Edgerrin> "We can start by the rune on the sword I found and asking about the dead soldiers uniforms."
[21:04] <+Aithorn> "Frederick may be able to help us there. A man of his station would have friends all over the Empire."
[21:04] <@BradGM> As you cross the Reik, you hear yelling coming from toward you "MAKE WAY FOR THE EMPEROR!" Reikguard on footmen arrive and push people and beasts to the side of the road!
[21:05] * +Aithorn starts giving peasants the evil eye before Imhol gets unceremoniously dumped into the Reik.
[21:05] * +Aithorn also makes sure to get as clear a view as possible of the man trusted to rule the whole country.
[21:05] * +Siluvaine cuts her horse to the side, getting out of the way, glancing around to see if anyone else is getting off their horse.
[21:06] * @Edgerrin makes room
[21:08] * +Alexi does as well
[21:09] <@BradGM> A few minutes later, a small groups of Reikguard Knights approaches, surrounding a Good-looking and Noble-looking man in his 40s, Whom to anyone with a Crown, can recognised as Emperor Karl Franz, Grand Prince of Reikland, dressed in magnificent travelling grabs, the Runefang at his hip, riding a grand white horse. The Poeple are calling to him, praising him and Sigmar.
[21:11] * +Siluvaine watches curious, taking in the rather unique experience.
[21:12] <@BradGM> Ulrich Praises Ulric, blessing the moment, the Man and all who wants to hear it.
[21:12] <@BradGM> It takes another few minutes until the Reikguard Footmen move away from the cordon to follow the Emperor.
[21:13] * +Aithorn watches the procession go by, he is a bit surprised that there wasn't more heraldry about it.
[21:14] <@BradGM> ((Oh, he was just taking a stoll on his horse.))
[21:14] <@Edgerrin> ((lol))
[21:16] * +Siluvaine waits for the crowds to disperse a bit before making their way to the Inn.
[21:16] <@BradGM> Maedhros "So, this was the Emperor. He seems distant from his kin."
[21:16] <+Alexi> "Dot vos a nize hat."
[21:17] <@Edgerrin> "He 'as ta be. For every subject that loves 'em there be two that want ta kill'em"
[21:17] <@BradGM> You reach the Imperial Inn, as the air fills with at least the pleasent smell of cooked food.
[21:18] <+Aithorn> "I heard once that the Emperor wasn't from Altdorf, but had to move here when he took the throne. If he were an elf, I'd pity him."
[21:19] <+Siluvaine> "Perhaps the colleges do something for him."
[21:20] <@BradGM> Ulrich "He's the Prince of Reikland, he doesn't need to be from Altdrof to be Emperor."
[21:20] * +Siluvaine dismounts and makes sure her horse is being taken care of before heading inside to get a room.
[21:21] <@BradGM> a Shilling for the stable, and 10 pence for feeding. Tipping the stbableboy can lead to better service.
[21:23] <@BradGM> Aithorn, Ulrich will take Imhol to the Shallyain Hospital.
[21:23] * +Siluvaine tips the stableboy 2 pence.
[21:25] <@BradGM> IT's about 5, so the place is starting to get filled.
[21:27] * +Siluvaine heads over to the Innkeeper and arranges for a room and a bath.
[21:28] * +Aithorn tells the Shallayans where they can send word if/when Imhol regains consciousness.
[21:29] <@BradGM> Owner "Oh hey, back again! sure, I can hav that arrange. That'll be a crown and 6 shillin'...The same room you had free, want it back?"
[21:29] * +Siluvaine nods. "Very well."
[21:30] <@BradGM> Maedhros and Lindara will stay with Imhol.
[21:33] <@BradGM> Alexi, you can try to get to the Imperial Fortress and get a bounty for the 4 Gors' head. It's getting late, but you might have some luck.
[21:34] * +Alexi will wait until tomorrow
[21:36] * +Aithorn is interested in dinner at the moment after a day of travel.
[21:37] * +Siluvaine glances around. "We can try sending a message to Hoffer tonight, or hope he's at the Temple tomorrow."
[21:38] <@BradGM> A crown a private room, 5 shilling a double room and 15 pennies a bed in the common room. All includes a meal and a beer.
[21:41] <+Aithorn> "We can go by and see if he's there but I think he'll just send us on our way to Nuln with a look."
[21:41] * @Edgerrin will share a room with whoever wants to.
[21:41] <+Alexi> ((okay))
[21:43] * +Siluvaine nods. "Of course."
[21:44] <@BradGM> !dhroll 71
[21:44] <@Diceling> BradGM: 47 Success by 2 degrees!
[21:46] <+Siluvaine> "So Nuln tomorrow? I have someplace I need to go first, it might get us some information."
[21:47] * @Edgerrin nods
[21:48] <+Aithorn> "If the Shallayans work their skill, then the sooner the better. But I need to see my cousins off on the road safely. I would feel better staying until Imhol can leave."
[21:49] <+Siluvaine> "Considering his wounds, that may be some time."
[21:53] <+Aithorn> "I don't know how your merchant houses are, but we live by clans in our villages. Lindara and Imhol are my kin, I fear if something were to happen, Maedhros might do something ... unpredictable and he might blame the humans for letting him die."
[21:54] <+Aithorn> "You know and I know that isn't true, but in his rage... he would be capable of much before the humans found him. If they could."
[21:54] <@Edgerrin> "I be willin' ta give the elf some time as long as we ain't to pressed ta find this cup."
[21:56] <@Edgerrin> "I can head ta little Karak ta find out about the rune on the sword."
[21:57] <+Siluvaine> "How long however?"
[21:57] <+Aithorn> "I am not well acquainted with Shallaya, but we may just need to have some faith. It will give us time to arrange travel to Nuln. T'would be a long walk, even for you."
[21:58] <@BradGM> Those with Common Lore (Empire) can roll it at +30
[21:59] <+Siluvaine> ((not I))
[21:59] <+Aithorn> ((do not have that one))

[21:59] <@Diceling> Edgerrin: 11 Success by 5 degrees!
[22:00] <@BradGM> You would know Edgerrin, that it should take about 5-6 days on foot to get to Nuln. 4-5 on horses and 3 via Boat.
[22:00] <@BradGM> Of course, boat tickets cost alot.
[22:01] * @Edgerrin relays this information to the group
[22:01] <@BradGM> 50 Crowns and up for a passage on the boat.
[22:01] <@Edgerrin> "Which way yer kin be headed when they be ready ta travel?"
[22:01] <@Edgerrin> ((ouch))
[22:02] <+Siluvaine> ((yeah, we're taking a horse...))
[22:02] <+Siluvaine> ((Well, Sil is. The rest of y'all can walk))
[22:03] <@BradGM> ((So that would make it 5-6 days, unless you ride alone before everyone.))
[22:04] <+Aithorn> "When I left home, it was to find some news, now I have better. I plan to set them on the road back to Athel Loren. But I have found much more besides, I will continue on to Nuln."
[22:06] * +Siluvaine nods.
[22:06] <+Siluvaine> "It seems horse and foot is best."
[22:07] * MordentHex (MordentHex@121.58.ym.xpu) has joined #shadowrun
[22:07] <MordentHex> (trip cancelled)
[22:08] * MordentHex is now known as Ulrich
[22:08] <@Edgerrin> "Well yer kin can travel with us and leave for the mountains when we get ta Nuln."
[22:08] <+Aithorn> ((sorry to hear that, glad you could join us))
[22:08] <@Edgerrin> (hoi)
[22:08] <@BradGM> ((Hey, sorry for your holiday being cut))
[22:09] <Ulrich> (its ok, to much bullshit, better this way)
[22:10] <+Aithorn> "If you all can stand the company, it would make their trip easier. Slower than they would like, but it will be good for them."
[22:11] <@Edgerrin> "I tolerate you don't I. What's a few more elves." 6Edge says with a grin
[22:11] <@BradGM> ((well, you're at the Shallian hospital with Imhol, Maedhros and Lindara. You got your rank as Priest and your Middenheim Guild of Physician membership to vouch for the Elves.))
[22:12] <Ulrich> (ok, I helped them? lol)
[22:12] <Ulrich> (just kidding)

[22:16] * +Aithorn chuckles at Edgerrin's joke and almost chokes on his beer.
[22:17] * +Siluvaine arches an eyebrow at the joke. "Can you get me a drawing of the mark on the sword?"
[22:18] * @Edgerrin pulls the sword out
[22:18] <@BradGM> The Priestess uses thier prayers on Imhol, Lindara and Maedhros. All seems to regain health and gets better before you eyes Ulrich. Of course Imhol's leg doesn't grow back nor does Maedhros's facial scar heals away. The prayer seems to 'work' more on his hands that painfully snaps back into place.
[22:18] <@Edgerrin> "'Ere take a look."
[22:18] * Ulrich kicks his feet back and enjoys reading one of his novels from his backpack
[22:18] * +Siluvaine pulls out a sheet of parchment and makes a rubbing of the mark.
[22:20] <@BradGM> Oh, Ulrich, the Mother Superior discreetly asks for a donation for the prayers.
[22:22] <Ulrich> (i'm not a charity)
[22:22] <Ulrich> (damn it)
[22:22] <@BradGM> ((But they are!))
[22:22] <Ulrich> "what do you mean donation? those fool elves have no money?"
[22:24] <@BradGM> M.S. "They do not."
[22:24] <+Aithorn> ((that's why they're asking you!))
[22:25] <Ulrich> "bloody hell"
[22:25] <@BradGM> The Sword Mark is an odd symbol. For those who know Khazalid, it seems to be a pair of runes interlapping eachother.
[22:25] <Ulrich> "how muh of a "donation" is required?"
[22:26] <@BradGM> M.S. "Mister Gutman! You language!"/
[22:26] <@BradGM> M.S."We do not set an ammount, we let the donator decice the value of Shallya's Mercy."
[22:27] <Ulrich> "sister just be candid with me, I'm tired, how much for healing up the three elves.."
[22:28] <Ulrich> "4 or 5 silver, a gold piece..5 gold, what?"
[22:29] <@BradGM> The Mother Superior sighs and shakes her ead at your obvious Ulrican manners. "5 Crowns are acceptable."
[22:29] <Ulrich> "and while we are talking, where can a man get a bath? I got dried bestigor guts all over me"
[22:30] * +Siluvaine finishes with the rubbing of the symbol and puts the paper away. "I might be able to do something with that."
[22:31] * Ulrich smells himself "could use a good clothing wash too"
[22:31] <@Edgerrin> "I can get it read in little karak. At worst, me freind the runesmith be on the way ta Nuln."
[22:32] <Ulrich> "if you ladies do that kind of thing, i'll pay for it all in one lump sum"
[22:32] <@BradGM> M.S. "I believe you will find a Temple of Ulric behind the Imperial Palace, Mister Gutman. The elves can stayhere as patients, but this is not an sorry tavern nor I a serving wench! As you seems to be only dirty, I would ask you to pay your donation and leave, please."
[22:33] <@BradGM> The Mother Superior gives you a serious stare.
[22:33] * Ulrich pays the 5 crowns "ok, ok, no hard feelings, just asking!"
[22:35] <Ulrich> "behind the imperial palace yeh say? Thanks"
[22:35] * +Siluvaine nods. "Always good to check multiple sources."
[22:36] * Ulrich walks over to Aithorn "your elven buddies just cost me 5 crowns, they owe me."
[22:38] <+Aithorn> "I will work to get horses for us since we know where we are headed. Ulrich, is the satisfaction of a good deed not enough? I will sort out something with you then."
[22:38] <Ulrich> "to be honest, No. That gold was going towards a bigger axe."
[22:39] <Ulrich> "And I love me Axes"
[22:40] <@Edgerrin> "'Ere mate, I'll pay ye fer it. aith's kin don't know no better when it comes t a money. they trade fer everything."
[22:40] <Ulrich> "A favor for a favor is good enough repayment."
[22:41] <+Aithorn> "Gratitude can be valuable too, but we will work out something, a favor it is then and my thanks."
[22:41] * Ulrich Nods. "your welcome"
[22:42] * Ulrich walks back over and continues to read
[22:43] * +Siluvaine seems somewhat amused by the priest's generosity.
[22:44] * Ulrich winks at Sil "get that smile off your face, never know when i'll need to cut a leg off again"
[22:44] * Ulrich grins
[22:46] * +Siluvaine shrugs. "Of course. How long until they're able to travel again?"
[22:47] <Ulrich> "that would very much depend on the one legged fella"
[22:48] <Ulrich> "he should kinda be dead by now to be truthful, the bugger is tough"
[22:50] <Ulrich> "I don't think he will be going anywhere fast anymore though"
[22:51] <Ulrich> "what? no way!, Edg, Gotrex fought a greater Demon in the Chaos wastes? Tis true? Do ya know?"
[22:52] <+Aithorn> "In the wastes? Who came back and told the stories?"
[22:53] <@BradGM> ((Lost one leg means movement is cut in half and can no longer dodge. With a pegleg, it'so only -1 movement.))
[22:53] * @Edgerrin looks up from his beer 1"What?"
[22:53] <Ulrich> "this here Felix fella, some kinda writer, writing about his doom"
[22:53] <Ulrich> "er the Dwarfs doom that is, but i dont see it ending well for either of em"

[22:54] <@Edgerrin> 'I t'aint read that book yet."
[22:55] <Ulrich> "i'll lend ya the first one of the series, its good, killing all kinds of stuff"

[23:22] <@BradGM> Oh yes, you get your robes cleaned off at the Temple.
[23:23] <@BradGM> Alexi, after waiting your lot, you get your bounty; 15 shillings ber Gor head, so 60 shillings, or 5 Crowns.
[23:23] <Ulrich> (cool, i'll get a cold bath as well im guessing, don't think they care too much about hot water)

[23:28] <@BradGM> Well, turns out Alexi pulled a fast one and Ulrich got a Gor skull- not that the Ulrican initiate can tell. Alexi still gets 15 shillings for the 3 Gors' head, and and 3 Crowns for the Bestigor.

[23:48] <Ulrich> (i'll go with ya next time, they laugh at your hat i'll punch them in there face)
[23:48] <@BradGM> After each doing their things across the city, the Party returns to the Imperial Inn.
[23:48] <@BradGM> *End of Session*
[20:11] <@BradGM> With everyone back at the Monastery, the Party moved into the Abbey to search the hidden passage. Meanwhile, Alexi and Ulrich cut the Beastsmen’s heads, either for religious or monetary reasons, much to the Elves’ disgust, especially Lindara. Ulirch bluntly refuted her claims, and demanded a decorum of respect concerning Human methods and affairs. Alexi added to the lot, indirectly, as he had to treat the heads against decomposition and the rot it brings. The others searched the abbey and found the secret entrance to the reliquiae, now desecrated and with nothing left of holy worth saving.
[20:11] <@BradGM> While they found the pedestal holding the Chalice devoid of any object, a sword, covered in human blood by Aithorn’s judgement, was lying beside it. By Edgerrin’s eyes it was Dwarven made, he even found what may be the maker’s mark, a pair of interlaping runes. Siluvaine found under a smashed chest a pair of magical gloves, made over 200 years ago by one of the first human Wizards. The only other objects of worth was found behind a dwarven padlocked door, which Edgerrin picked and kept; the Abbey’s books and ledger; the Last Holy Image of Sigmar left untouched, and the worth of the Monastery’s current fortune of 324 Crowns.
[20:12] <@BradGM> The decision was made to give 100 Crowns’ worth of the smaller coinage to Suderberg, as a way for them to buy supplies for the wintertime, with the Party splitting the rest up evenly (much to Siluvaine’s chagrin). Seeing to help Imhol being dragged by horse, Ulrich asked for Aithorn to find some holly. Managing to find some near the Monastery’s cemetery, the elf was beckoned toward a small building, where he witnesses numerous bodies having been chopped off horribly. Chasing back in total shock to the others, Edgerrin went to confirm this, and being made of harder stuff, looked in more detail to see those men were not Monastery guards, but Halberd-wielding Soldiers of Nuln.
[20:12] <@BradGM> Alexi finished his head conserving and they made thier way to Suderberg, where they now be seen as friends, having moved from the barn and into the people’s homes. Imhol’s bandages were cleaned and he was well taken care of, despite not having regained consciousness yet. Aithorn asked and received a local concoction that would help Imhol’s recuperation. The Party travelled unevenly to the coaching inn, and after half day or so, arrived to the Toll Station that’s about 4 hours to Altdorf, Imperial Capital.
[20:15] <@BradGM> Once again, you must pay a penny a leg, a shilling per horse's pair of legs.
[20:16] * +Siluvaine sighs and thinks next time they go on a mission for someone, they should get a toll pass, and passes the coinage over.
[20:16] <@Edgerrin> ((Wene't dwarves free?))
[20:16] * +Aithorn pays for the toll for Maedhros, Lindara, and Imhol ((only 7 pennies! too bad Imhol isn't in a position to appreciate his thriftiness))
[20:16] <@BradGM> ((Hoffer gave you 50 crowns!))
[20:17] <@BradGM> ((no; that's the toll to enter the Altdorf proper))
[20:18] * @Edgerrin pays the two pennies
[20:19] * +Alexi will pay
[20:19] <@BradGM> Maedhros "Only Humans can ask for coin to walk the land."
[20:20] * +Siluvaine motions to the forest. "You're perfectly fine to walk that without paying."
[20:21] <@BradGM> Maedhros "I will not abandonned my Kith."
[20:22] * +Siluvaine shrugs. "I'm just saying. They're not making you pay to walk the land, they're making you pay to walk the road."
[20:23] <+Aithorn> "It's not their fault they need roads to travel instead of appreciating their land. The toll is just an added insult to the land that they don't see."
[20:23] <+Alexi> "Ven hyu make de effort to patrol de roads, den hyu kin zay der vill be no payments."
[20:25] <+Aithorn> "In the two years since the Storm of Chaos, I'd wager that the bounties on the beastmen slain by my cousins would pay the wages of four times the number of roadwardens."
[20:25] <+Alexi> "Den vy heff hyu not done dot?"
[20:28] <@BradGM> Maedhros "Contrary to you, we do this not for our own wealth; Our arms defend a force that you humans can barely understand."
[20:28] <@BradGM> Lindara murmurs a "Let the matter drop" in Elf to Maedhros.
[20:28] <+Aithorn> "Sadly, it is all we can do to keep our own land safe, perhaps someday it could be, but my people can no more leave our land than the northmen could go to Bretonnia."
[20:29] * +Alexi nods as if that settles his point
[20:31] <@BradGM> Traffic on the roads begins to gets more obvious and present, as..

[20:32] * +Siluvaine grimaces. "Well, atleast it isn't fish."
[20:32] * +Aithorn continues along the road, trying to ignore the curious stares and sneers of the other travellers.
[20:33] <@BradGM> Lindara "What is this? I see no smoke, yet my troat is irritated."
[20:33] <+Aithorn> "The students in Altdorf don't get out enough or they would riot over this."
[20:34] <@Edgerrin> "It be called civilization."
[20:35] <@BradGM> Maedhros "Ancient and wicked."
[20:37] * @Edgerrin chuckles at the stuck up elf.
[20:37] <@BradGM> As you approach Altdrof, you can see the City Walls, and the numerous Spires. You also see a good line of people at the Gate, possibly haviing you wait an hour or so. Boats are moving along the Reik as well, with goods and people.
[20:38] <+Aithorn> "If you stand tall and don't smile, they tend to leave you alone."
[20:39] * +Siluvaine sighs as she sees the line.
[20:39] <@BradGM> !dhroll 33
[20:39] <@Diceling> BradGM: 21 Success by 1 degree!
[20:41] <@BradGM> Some folks in the line near you seems curious aobut Imhol, and the fact there's 3 other wood elves going to Altdorf "Yer buddy lost a leg eh? You should go visit Franz's in the Docks, best peg-leg fer' yer coins!"
[20:42] <+Siluvaine> "I'm sure they'll keep that in mind, thank you."
[20:43] <@BradGM> Peasant "He look dead."
[20:43] <@BradGM> Peasent 2 "Nah, da' elf' turn into birds when they die, everyone knows that."
[20:44] * +Siluvaine glances back, looking over Imhol, making sure he hasn't died during the trip.
[20:45] <@BradGM> Ulrich is keeping an eye on him; he's still alive.
[20:46] * +Aithorn tries not to laugh out loud at the peasant or scowl too deeply.
[20:46] <@BradGM> Lindara and Maedhros looks at odd at Peasent superstition.
[20:47] * +Siluvaine doesn't correct the peasant's superstition. A knowledgeable customer base is an annoying customer base.
[20:48] <@BradGM> It takes you an hour to reach the gate; 2 pennies per leg, 2 shillings per pairs of leg's horses; As this is the Imperial Capital, Dwarves pay no toll.
[20:48] * @Edgerrin strolls thru the gate, 1"I love this town."
[20:50] * +Siluvaine sighs and passes the rest of the coins along. "Maybe we should have gone directly to Nuln."
[20:50] <@BradGM> You get into the masses of Altdorf! No one cares about you, but at least they give a little space due to Siluvaine's horse. It smells like sweat, it's loud and it's darker due to the housing architecture.
[20:51] * +Siluvaine puts her handkerchief up to her nose. "The Imperial Inn first, then try to find Hoffer?"
[20:53] <@Edgerrin> "Be fine by me."
[20:53] * +Siluvaine glances at Ulrich. "Is there any hospice or something the wounded should be at?"
[20:54] <@BradGM> Ulrich "We can try the Temple of Shallya, There is a Hospital there too."
[20:54] <@BradGM> Ulrich "It's on the other side of the Reik too, so not too far from the Inn."
[20:55] * +Siluvaine glances over the hicks..I mean, wood elves to see if that would be a problem.
[20:57] <@BradGM> Maedhros "As long as we are away from...this."
[20:57] <@BradGM> They are obviously disgusted/shock/not liking their situation.
[20:58] * @Edgerrin looks at the elves. 1"We get ya healed up and on yer way quick as we can."
[20:58] * +Aithorn nods, "The Shallayans are about as far removed from this as you can hope for. And they will shorten your stay here too."
[20:58] * +Siluvaine shrugs and makes her way towards the Inn.
[21:01] <@BradGM> You move toward the Reik and across it, to the horrible smell of open sewers at the Docks.
[21:02] <@BradGM> !dhroll 100
[21:02] <@Diceling> BradGM: 1 Success by 9 degrees!
[21:03] * +Siluvaine grimaces at the smell, and continues on. "we'll need information on Nuln and contacts there."
[21:03] <+Aithorn> ((impressive, the smell is now strong enough to peel paint off of buildings))
[21:04] <@Edgerrin> "We can start by the rune on the sword I found and asking about the dead soldiers uniforms."
[21:04] <+Aithorn> "Frederick may be able to help us there. A man of his station would have friends all over the Empire."
[21:04] <@BradGM> As you cross the Reik, you hear yelling coming from toward you "MAKE WAY FOR THE EMPEROR!" Reikguard on footmen arrive and push people and beasts to the side of the road!
[21:05] * +Aithorn starts giving peasants the evil eye before Imhol gets unceremoniously dumped into the Reik.
[21:05] * +Aithorn also makes sure to get as clear a view as possible of the man trusted to rule the whole country.
[21:05] * +Siluvaine cuts her horse to the side, getting out of the way, glancing around to see if anyone else is getting off their horse.
[21:06] * @Edgerrin makes room
[21:08] * +Alexi does as well
[21:09] <@BradGM> A few minutes later, a small groups of Reikguard Knights approaches, surrounding a Good-looking and Noble-looking man in his 40s, Whom to anyone with a Crown, can recognised as Emperor Karl Franz, Grand Prince of Reikland, dressed in magnificent travelling grabs, the Runefang at his hip, riding a grand white horse. The Poeple are calling to him, praising him and Sigmar.
[21:11] * +Siluvaine watches curious, taking in the rather unique experience.
[21:12] <@BradGM> Ulrich Praises Ulric, blessing the moment, the Man and all who wants to hear it.
[21:12] <@BradGM> It takes another few minutes until the Reikguard Footmen move away from the cordon to follow the Emperor.
[21:13] * +Aithorn watches the procession go by, he is a bit surprised that there wasn't more heraldry about it.
[21:14] <@BradGM> ((Oh, he was just taking a stoll on his horse.))
[21:14] <@Edgerrin> ((lol))
[21:16] * +Siluvaine waits for the crowds to disperse a bit before making their way to the Inn.
[21:16] <@BradGM> Maedhros "So, this was the Emperor. He seems distant from his kin."
[21:16] <+Alexi> "Dot vos a nize hat."
[21:17] <@Edgerrin> "He 'as ta be. For every subject that loves 'em there be two that want ta kill'em"
[21:17] <@BradGM> You reach the Imperial Inn, as the air fills with at least the pleasent smell of cooked food.
[21:18] <+Aithorn> "I heard once that the Emperor wasn't from Altdorf, but had to move here when he took the throne. If he were an elf, I'd pity him."
[21:19] <+Siluvaine> "Perhaps the colleges do something for him."
[21:20] <@BradGM> Ulrich "He's the Prince of Reikland, he doesn't need to be from Altdrof to be Emperor."
[21:20] * +Siluvaine dismounts and makes sure her horse is being taken care of before heading inside to get a room.
[21:21] <@BradGM> a Shilling for the stable, and 10 pence for feeding. Tipping the stbableboy can lead to better service.
[21:23] <@BradGM> Aithorn, Ulrich will take Imhol to the Shallyain Hospital.
[21:23] * +Siluvaine tips the stableboy 2 pence.
[21:25] <@BradGM> IT's about 5, so the place is starting to get filled.
[21:27] * +Siluvaine heads over to the Innkeeper and arranges for a room and a bath.
[21:28] * +Aithorn tells the Shallayans where they can send word if/when Imhol regains consciousness.
[21:29] <@BradGM> Owner "Oh hey, back again! sure, I can hav that arrange. That'll be a crown and 6 shillin'...The same room you had free, want it back?"
[21:29] * +Siluvaine nods. "Very well."
[21:30] <@BradGM> Maedhros and Lindara will stay with Imhol.
[21:33] <@BradGM> Alexi, you can try to get to the Imperial Fortress and get a bounty for the 4 Gors' head. It's getting late, but you might have some luck.
[21:34] * +Alexi will wait until tomorrow
[21:36] * +Aithorn is interested in dinner at the moment after a day of travel.
[21:37] * +Siluvaine glances around. "We can try sending a message to Hoffer tonight, or hope he's at the Temple tomorrow."
[21:38] <@BradGM> A crown a private room, 5 shilling a double room and 15 pennies a bed in the common room. All includes a meal and a beer.
[21:41] <+Aithorn> "We can go by and see if he's there but I think he'll just send us on our way to Nuln with a look."
[21:41] * @Edgerrin will share a room with whoever wants to.
[21:41] <+Alexi> ((okay))
[21:43] * +Siluvaine nods. "Of course."
[21:44] <@BradGM> !dhroll 71
[21:44] <@Diceling> BradGM: 47 Success by 2 degrees!
[21:46] <+Siluvaine> "So Nuln tomorrow? I have someplace I need to go first, it might get us some information."
[21:47] * @Edgerrin nods
[21:48] <+Aithorn> "If the Shallayans work their skill, then the sooner the better. But I need to see my cousins off on the road safely. I would feel better staying until Imhol can leave."
[21:49] <+Siluvaine> "Considering his wounds, that may be some time."
[21:53] <+Aithorn> "I don't know how your merchant houses are, but we live by clans in our villages. Lindara and Imhol are my kin, I fear if something were to happen, Maedhros might do something ... unpredictable and he might blame the humans for letting him die."
[21:54] <+Aithorn> "You know and I know that isn't true, but in his rage... he would be capable of much before the humans found him. If they could."
[21:54] <@Edgerrin> "I be willin' ta give the elf some time as long as we ain't to pressed ta find this cup."
[21:56] <@Edgerrin> "I can head ta little Karak ta find out about the rune on the sword."
[21:57] <+Siluvaine> "How long however?"
[21:57] <+Aithorn> "I am not well acquainted with Shallaya, but we may just need to have some faith. It will give us time to arrange travel to Nuln. T'would be a long walk, even for you."
[21:58] <@BradGM> Those with Common Lore (Empire) can roll it at +30
[21:59] <+Siluvaine> ((not I))

[22:00] <@BradGM> You would know Edgerrin, that it should take about 5-6 days on foot to get to Nuln. 4-5 on horses and 3 via Boat.
[22:00] <@BradGM> Of course, boat tickets cost alot.
[22:01] * @Edgerrin relays this information to the group
[22:01] <@BradGM> 50 Crowns and up for a passage on the boat.
[22:01] <@Edgerrin> "Which way yer kin be headed when they be ready ta travel?"
[22:01] <@Edgerrin> ((ouch))
[22:02] <+Siluvaine> ((yeah, we're taking a horse...))
[22:02] <+Siluvaine> ((Well, Sil is. The rest of y'all can walk))
[22:03] <@BradGM> ((So that would make it 5-6 days, unless you ride alone before everyone.))
[22:04] <+Aithorn> "When I left home, it was to find some news, now I have better. I plan to set them on the road back to Athel Loren. But I have found much more besides, I will continue on to Nuln."
[22:06] * +Siluvaine nods.
[22:06] <+Siluvaine> "It seems horse and foot is best."
[22:07] * MordentHex (MordentHex@121.58.ym.xpu) has joined #shadowrun
[22:07] <MordentHex> (trip cancelled)
[22:08] * MordentHex is now known as Ulrich
[22:08] <@Edgerrin> "Well yer kin can travel with us and leave for the mountains when we get ta Nuln."
[22:08] <+Aithorn> ((sorry to hear that, glad you could join us))
[22:08] <@Edgerrin> (hoi)
[22:08] <@BradGM> ((Hey, sorry for your holiday being cut))
[22:09] <Ulrich> (its ok, to much bullshit, better this way)
[22:10] <+Aithorn> "If you all can stand the company, it would make their trip easier. Slower than they would like, but it will be good for them."
[22:11] <@Edgerrin> "I tolerate you don't I. What's a few more elves." 6Edge says with a grin
[22:11] <@BradGM> ((well, you're at the Shallian hospital with Imhol, Maedhros and Lindara. You got your rank as Priest and your Middenheim Guild of Physician membership to vouch for the Elves.))
[22:12] <Ulrich> (ok, I helped them? lol)
[22:12] <Ulrich> (just kidding)
[22:13] <@BradGM> ((Well, now that you're here, you might! Roll heal))

[22:16] <Ulrich> (shallian hospital should be better at healing than me anyways)
[22:16] * +Aithorn chuckles at Edgerrin's joke and almost chokes on his beer.
[22:17] * +Siluvaine arches an eyebrow at the joke. "Can you get me a drawing of the mark on the sword?"
[22:18] * @Edgerrin pulls the sword out
[22:18] <@BradGM> The Priestess uses thier prayers on Imhol, Lindara and Maedhros. All seems to regain health and gets better before you eyes Ulrich. Of course Imhol's leg doesn't grow back nor does Maedhros's facial scar heals away. The prayer seems to 'work' more on his hands that painfully snaps back into place.
[22:18] <@Edgerrin> "'Ere take a look."
[22:18] * Ulrich kicks his feet back and enjoys reading one of his novels from his backpack
[22:18] * +Siluvaine pulls out a sheet of parchment and makes a rubbing of the mark.
[22:20] <@BradGM> Oh, Ulrich, the Mother Superior discreetly asks for a donation for the prayers.
[22:22] <Ulrich> (i'm not a charity)
[22:22] <Ulrich> (damn it)
[22:22] <@BradGM> ((But they are!))
[22:22] <Ulrich> "what do you mean donation? those fool elves have no money?"
[22:24] <@BradGM> M.S. "They do not."
[22:24] <+Aithorn> ((that's why they're asking you!))
[22:25] <Ulrich> "bloody hell"
[22:25] <@BradGM> The Sword Mark is an odd symbol. For those who know Khazalid, it seems to be a pair of runes interlapping eachother.
[22:25] <Ulrich> "how muh of a "donation" is required?"
[22:26] <@BradGM> M.S. "Mister Gutman! You language!"/
[22:26] <@BradGM> M.S."We do not set an ammount, we let the donator decice the value of Shallya's Mercy."
[22:27] <Ulrich> "sister just be candid with me, I'm tired, how much for healing up the three elves.."
[22:28] <Ulrich> "4 or 5 silver, a gold piece..5 gold, what?"
[22:29] <@BradGM> The Mother Superior sighs and shakes her ead at your obvious Ulrican manners. "5 Crowns are acceptable."
[22:29] <Ulrich> "and while we are talking, where can a man get a bath? I got dried bestigor guts all over me"
[22:30] * +Siluvaine finishes with the rubbing of the symbol and puts the paper away. "I might be able to do something with that."
[22:31] * Ulrich smells himself "could use a good clothing wash too"
[22:31] <@Edgerrin> "I can get it read in little karak. At worst, me freind the runesmith be on the way ta Nuln."
[22:32] <Ulrich> "if you ladies do that kind of thing, i'll pay for it all in one lump sum"
[22:32] <@BradGM> M.S. "I believe you will find a Temple of Ulric behind the Imperial Palace, Mister Gutman. The elves can stayhere as patients, but this is not an sorry tavern nor I a serving wench! As you seems to be only dirty, I would ask you to pay your donation and leave, please."
[22:33] <@BradGM> The Mother Superior gives you a serious stare.
[22:33] * Ulrich pays the 5 crowns "ok, ok, no hard feelings, just asking!"
[22:35] <Ulrich> "behind the imperial palace yeh say? Thanks"
[22:35] * +Siluvaine nods. "Always good to check multiple sources."
[22:36] * Ulrich walks over to Aithorn "your elven buddies just cost me 5 crowns, they owe me."
[22:38] <+Aithorn> "I will work to get horses for us since we know where we are headed. Ulrich, is the satisfaction of a good deed not enough? I will sort out something with you then."
[22:38] <Ulrich> "to be honest, No. That gold was going towards a bigger axe."
[22:39] <Ulrich> "And I love me Axes"
[22:40] <@Edgerrin> "'Ere mate, I'll pay ye fer it. aith's kin don't know no better when it comes t a money. they trade fer everything."
[22:40] <Ulrich> "A favor for a favor is good enough repayment."
[22:41] <+Aithorn> "Gratitude can be valuable too, but we will work out something, a favor it is then and my thanks."
[22:41] * Ulrich Nods. "your welcome"
[22:42] * Ulrich walks back over and continues to read
[22:43] * +Siluvaine seems somewhat amused by the priest's generosity.
[22:44] * Ulrich winks at Sil "get that smile off your face, never know when i'll need to cut a leg off again"
[22:44] * Ulrich grins
[22:46] * +Siluvaine shrugs. "Of course. How long until they're able to travel again?"
[22:47] <Ulrich> "that would very much depend on the one legged fella"
[22:48] <Ulrich> "he should kinda be dead by now to be truthful, the bugger is tough"
[22:50] <Ulrich> "I don't think he will be going anywhere fast anymore though"
[22:51] <Ulrich> "what? no way!, Edg, Gotrex fought a greater Demon in the Chaos wastes? Tis true? Do ya know?"
[22:52] <+Aithorn> "In the wastes? Who came back and told the stories?"
[22:53] <@BradGM> ((Lost one leg means movement is cut in half and can no longer dodge. With a pegleg, it'so only -1 movement.))
[22:53] * @Edgerrin looks up from his beer 1"What?"
[22:53] <Ulrich> "this here Felix fella, some kinda writer, writing about his doom"
[22:53] <Ulrich> "er the Dwarfs doom that is, but i dont see it ending well for either of em"
[22:54] * +Siluvaine frowns at the randomness.
[22:54] <@Edgerrin> 'I t'aint read that book yet."
[22:55] <Ulrich> "i'll lend ya the first one of the series, its good, killing all kinds of stuff"
[22:56] <Ulrich> (I can continue on like this forever unless someone wants to point us in a useful direction)
[22:57] <@BradGM> ((Well, FFWD to next morningthen?))

[22:59] <@BradGM> On the table; Meeting Hoffer, Going to the Imperial Fortress, chacing on the Elves.
[23:00] <@BradGM> Anything else, as personnal things; searching for things and such.
[23:00] <+Siluvaine> ((Siluvaine is going to check with Saer, see if he recognizes the markings))
[23:01] * @Edgerrin will head to little karak to have the sword looked at
[23:01] <Ulrich> (need to go see the Local Ulric temple, just let them know im in town)
[23:01] * +Alexi will hand over the skulls for the bounties

[23:22] <Ulrich> (or a lunch as it would be im guessing)
[23:22] <@BradGM> Oh yes, you get your robes cleaned off at the Temple.
[23:23] <@BradGM> Alexi, after waiting your lot, you get your bounty; 15 shillings ber Gor head, so 60 shillings, or 5 Crowns.
[23:23] <Ulrich> (cool, i'll get a cold bath as well im guessing, don't think they care too much about hot water)

[23:28] <@BradGM> Well, turns out Alexi pulled a fast one and Ulrich got a Gor skull- not that the Ulrican initiate can tell. Alexi still gets 15 shillings for the 3 Gors' head, and and 3 Crowns for the Bestigor.
