[20:10] <@BradGM> Aithron, Edgerrin and Siluvaine made their way to the Amethyst college and met with Master Wizard Gabrielle Marsner. Explainin the situation to her, she agreed to help the Party destroy the Dagger of Yul K’chaum. Still, there is the danger of the Ritual itself, having to last a full day and night, and that other powers that manifested themselves just recently may still be considered a threat.
[20:10] <@BradGM> Marking a rendez-vous for the old Altdorf Cemetery in 2 day’s time, the Party returned to the others at the Imperial Inn, reviewing their options. They decided to make a visit to the Hard Cock, on the intent to see Karla Heinz, a shady woman who robbed their room a couple of days ago.
[20:11] <@BradGM> It is 'round the laater afternoon, patrons are coming in for a drink and a bite for the suppertime; the Hard Cock is northward, past the University, in an old converted warehouse.
[20:13] <+Siluvaine> ((Any sign of Alexi or Urlich?))
[20:14] <+Aithorn> "We should make sure we get some provisions while we stand watch."
[20:15] * +Aithorn will also take a look at the incoming patrons to see if any look like Karla
[20:15] <+Alexi> ((I suppose that's up to the GM))
[20:15] <@BradGM> ((Yes; they are there as well; thought Ulrich is in a silent mood))
[20:16] <+Siluvaine> "For tonight or at the ritual? And when should we go to the Hard Cock?"
[20:16] <@BradGM> Aithorn; you see no black hairded ponytailed woman, wearing black leather and some flashy red scarf around her waist and a nasty black scar under her left eye
[20:17] <+Aithorn> ((I thought we were at the Hard Cock))
[20:17] <+Aithorn> "For the ritual. We dare not leave the site due to hunger."
[20:17] <@BradGM> ((no; you were dicussing things at the II: like who to inform about being able to destroy the dagger and such like as well))
[20:18] <@BradGM> ((said about hand delivering messages tomorrow instead of using urchins))
[20:20] * +Siluvaine nods. "We still need to figure out who we trust to deal with this." She glances around. "Should we head over soon?"
[20:20] <+Aithorn> "We should probably go the Hard Cock as soon as we can. It will be easier to see people enter rather than be seen entering, and we can make our plans there."
[20:22] * +Siluvaine nods and gets to her feet, gathering her staff. "Hopefully our shadow will be gone."
[20:23] <@BradGM> You can roll your perception visual to maybe spot Hammelfist's Butler.
[20:23] <@BradGM> ((Which I forgot about in my résumé))

[20:27] <@BradGM> And he seems to be looking abut some passing yelling peddler and doesn't even see you lot; you split away with ease in the crowd....
[20:27] * +Siluvaine tsks. "He's been around off and on all day."
[20:28] <@BradGM> It's rather sad, that he seems to not even see you, despite pointing in his direction. and being his mark.
[20:29] <+Aithorn> "If that is Hammelfist's scout, no wonder he's so paranoid."
[20:29] <+Siluvaine> "Indeed. Hopefully we'll be able to act without him."
[20:30] * +Siluvaine continues to head north, following the directions given.

[20:31] <@Diceling> BradGM: 90
[20:32] <@BradGM> The University is 'calm' at this time, still you can hear and see heavy activity happening on the Campus grounds, cheers and boos and cheers again, and a speech of sorts..a riot in the making?
[20:32] <@BradGM> !roll 1d10
[20:32] <@Diceling> BradGM: 8
[20:33] <+Siluvaine> "Probably a riot in the making. They were protesting the prices of paper earlier."

[20:34] <+Aithorn> "Have they ever rioted about the riots, I wonder."
[20:35] <+Siluvaine> "I'm sure."
[20:36] <@BradGM> You arrive in the Northern part of the City, where you first entered. The slated air smells of sweat, and you see the cittizens being a more...popular class.
[20:36] * +Siluvaine holds her handkerchief up to her nose and keeps a look out for any threats.
[20:37] * +Aithorn is having enough of a time trying not to keep bumping into the press of humans around him
[20:41] * +Siluvaine looks for the Koningplatz an starts looking for a warehouse to the east of it.
[20:42] <@BradGM> You arrive at the Hard Cock. The large and long building seems to have good activity. There is a surpringly coloured sign of a Rooster in front. There are bouncers at the large door, collecting the people going in.
[20:43] <+Siluvaine> ((cover charge I assume?))
[20:43] <@BradGM> 2 pennies each head for entry.
[20:44] * +Siluvaine pays her way and heads inside, lookin around for Karla.
[20:44] * +Aithorn hands over the cover charge and makes his way inside
[20:45] * @Edgerrin grumbles and pays
[20:46] * +Alexi pays
[20:47] <@BradGM> The Arena hall seems more like a large tavern with 2 small rectangular caged section and a 3 feet deep pit in the center of the place. Two bars are in the middle on each side of the building, and you can even see that the center arena has a sort of 'VIP' section where bouncers are standing semi-private booths. Speaking of, you see alot of toughs walking zaround, almost as much as servatans and bookies.
[20:48] <+Aithorn> ((how to walk zaround: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iV2ViNJFZC8))
[20:49] * +Aithorn looks for an empty table and makes his way there, preferably with a good line of sight to the door
[20:49] <@BradGM> The patrons are as diverse as Altdorf, you see the poorest betting thier last copper, burghers having a good time, and even rich nobles, livelyed bodyguards and all, sitting at a central booth waltching a fight.
[20:50] * +Siluvaine follows Aithorn. "This is..more established than I thought it would be."

[20:53] <@BradGM> Cheers and claps are spurring ehre adn there and fights in the secondary pits come and go. The central pit seems to be for the more 'main event' fights.
[20:54] <@BradGM> You you can a place at one of the bars; it,s standing but it's better than just standing.
[20:54] * +Siluvaine glances around for a place out of the way where they can see most of the place, and keeps an eye out for Karla. "WE'll have to follow her to someplace else I think."
[20:56] <@BradGM> You can get a pretty decent view of the central pit and most of the place from pretty much either longer sides of the bars.

[21:01] <@BradGM> ((End times, everyone dies.))
[21:01] <+Siluvaine> "We could ask for her, if she's a regular..."
[21:02] <@BradGM> The bartender comes around "What'll be?"
[21:03] * +Siluvaine orders something that won't have her out with a simple sip.
[21:03] * +Siluvaine glances at the...more ruffian members of the group to see if its worth asking about the woman.
[21:04] <+Aithorn> "An ale and a name. We're looking to hire someone for a job. Someone who can be discrete."
[21:05] <@BradGM> Bartender "Hm. Ale it is then."

[21:12] * MordentHex (MordentHex@121.58.po.oy) has joined #shadowrun
[21:12] <MordentHex> (sorry im late)
[21:12] * MordentHex is now known as Ulrich
[21:13] <@BradGM> The Bartender seems more inclined now that money's shown. He takes the shilling "So whatcha mean discrete? Like take and go or go for good?"
[21:13] <+Siluvaine> "Just go."
[21:13] <@BradGM> ((Hi. You guys are at the Hard Cock, fighting pit now, chasing after karla Heinz.))
[21:15] * Edgerrin sets mode: +v Ulrich
[21:16] <+Ulrich> ( oh no, I woke up with a hard cock? lol)
[21:17] * +Siluvaine uncovers a bit of the silver.
[21:18] <+Siluvaine> "We heard a name that might be helpful."
[21:18] <@BradGM> He goes and brgins back Ales. "Oh? Whut name?"

[21:23] <@BradGM> Bartender "And 10 copper for th'ales."

[21:27] <+Ulrich> "good, I can have a few beers before the show starts"
[21:28] * +Ulrich takes his beer and goes to sit down.
[21:29] <@BradGM> Oh, there's actually cocks fights happening in 2 secondary rectangular ,outer' cages, while the central 3 feet deep pit is more the for big fights. There are fights happening every 30 minutes or so, with bets before and drinking/talkigng in between.*
[21:29] <@BradGM> I suppose you all drink normally and not loking to drink yourself drunk?
[21:29] <+Aithorn> ((correct))
[21:29] <+Siluvaine> ((hopefully!))
[21:30] <+Aithorn> "So we have some time to discuss who we can reach out to for help. Gerhard Schiller, High Priest of Ulrich. Do we reach out to Klemperer? Or Messner?"

[21:31] <@BradGM> ((There are numerous bouncers, as much as servants and bookies among the patrons.))
[21:31] <@BradGM> ((the usual 1v1))
[21:32] <+Siluvaine> "Obviously Messner will have to be told, since he would provide access to the dagger. I am not sure what Klemperer would be able to provide."
[21:33] <+Ulrich> (reaching out to the high priest of Ulric in this place will probably turn it into a blood soaked mess)

[21:37] <+Ulrich> (ok, I'll just pull back on the boozing a bit)
[21:37] * +Siluvaine keeps an eye out for the woman or anyone else suspicious as hey discuss things. "I worry about Gottri Interfering."
[21:38] <@BradGM> ((Want some time to plan your purchases before you continue? You would have 3-4 hours in game to discuss it))
[21:38] <+Ulrich> (i don't wan't the booze to be affecting my axe arm)

[21:47] <+Ulrich> (move on sir, im good too)
[21:47] <+Ulrich> (maybe to good, a bit drunk it seems)
[21:47] <@BradGM> Hours passes as you can see the sky changing throught the door, and the cracks on the roof too. It's been an hour or so after dusk, when you see a tall woman, with rather broad shoulders, enter. She is as she was described. wearing black leather with a brigth red scrap under her black sword belt, black ponytailed hair and a nasty looking black scar under her left eye. As you confirm to yourselves it that's Karla Heizn, the bartender pops around to confirm it "'Ere yer's Karla."
[21:48] * +Siluvaine nods. "Thanks."
[21:49] <@BradGM> You see her move to the opposite bar, orders a ale and leans around to check out the central pit fight.
[21:51] * +Siluvaine studies the woman and looks around for signs of bodyguards.
[21:51] * +Ulrich looks at Edg. " I wish we could get in some of that pit fighting but for this business. Should be easy compared to beastymen and demons"
[21:53] <@BradGM> No bodyguards, as for her, she,s rather tall and broad shouldered, but still with a thinned physique overall. Her scar gives her quite a look, but ignoring that, she's rahter common.
[21:53] <+Aithorn> "Ulrich, as entertaining as watching that bantam rooster fight against your cock might be, we're here for a reason."
[21:54] <+Siluvaine> "Approach her about an offer, and get her away from here?"
[21:54] <+Aithorn> ((however we approach Karla, we probably don't want to mention that we are the victims, that would probably scare her off))
[21:55] <+Siluvaine> ((right))
[21:55] <@BradGM> ((talking about cocks and offers to strnange woman in bars..hm?))
[21:55] <+Ulrich> ( always)
[21:55] <@BradGM> ((can't go a campaign without players perving it out.))
[21:58] <@BradGM> She doesn't seems particularly on edge or watching over her shoulder; just like any other patrons, drinking and watching the cock fight.
[21:58] <+Siluvaine> 'Thoughts?"
[21:58] <+Alexi> "Dot sound like a goot idea."
[21:59] <@Edgerrin> "We tryin' ta questin 'er or elimanate 'er?
[21:59] <+Ulrich> "maybe me and Edg could do some sparing in the ring, get her attension focused on us, and then you just knife her in the back?"
[21:59] <+Ulrich> "could be the booze talking though"
[21:59] <+Aithorn> "Just to question her for now, she might just tell us what we want to know."
[22:00] <+Ulrich> "she don't looke the type to go down without a fight..."
[22:00] <+Siluvaine> "We want to question her for now. But I don't want to start a fight here."
[22:00] <+Aithorn> "But why would she tell us? We are carrying a message from a thieves' guild? or local crime boss? we want to know if the employer has any other work to do?
[22:01] <+Aithorn> ((just thinking out loud))
[22:01] <+Ulrich> "the assassins came from her right?"
[22:02] <+Siluvaine> "No, this is the woman that stole from us. Much worse."
[22:02] <+Ulrich> "just return the favor and put a dagger in her ribs and lets be on our way"
[22:03] <+Siluvaine> "I want to know if it was part of some plot."
[22:04] <@BradGM> ((Some international conspiracy to steal all my monies!))
[22:05] <+Siluvaine> ((Well, she could've been hired to steal the dagger by someone, but just took the money when she couldn't find the dagger))
[22:05] <+Ulrich> "sigh, your going to learn the tip of that sword she is carrying if yer not careful"
[22:05] * +Ulrich belches
[22:07] <+Ulrich> (are the 1v1's duals with weapons or just brwaling?)
[22:07] * +Siluvaine shrugs. "So say we want to hire her, and try to find someplace quiet to..talk."
[22:07] <+Ulrich> (brawling*)
[22:08] <@BradGM> ((cocks fights; as in roosters are fighting here, not humans))
[22:08] <+Aithorn> "Sounds about right, Siluvaine"

[22:09] <+Ulrich> (i misunderstood all this time, :( need more coffee)

[22:13] * +Siluvaine glances around before taking a seat. "I hear you're the one to talk to if we're looking for something acquired."
[22:13] * +Ulrich looks at be other gents, nods and gets ready for trouble
[22:14] <@BradGM> She licks her canine, it makes a distinct suckling sound, as she grins. Her voice is rather deep for her physique as well "You hear right."
[22:16] <@BradGM> She taps the bar to get the bartender's attention, who gets her a drink in short order. She just throw the man some coppers without too much looking, her attention on the curent business.
[22:16] <+Siluvaine> "Anything for a price?"
[22:18] <@BradGM> Karla "'Pretty much. What's th'job?"

[22:28] <@BradGM> She takes you toward the back, near one of the rectangular fighting cages, perhaps halfway to the cage, she turns and goes behind one of the larger support beams. It does create a small shadow patch, and offer some discretion from the crowd. Those who stayed behind can see the others moving somewaht out of view; You're can't see everything but you know where they are.

[22:48] <@BradGM> She takes the silver "Just that he looked like wearing a disguise, like wearing clothing to looks bigger. 'pretty sure he was some scribe or sumethin' he talked too good for the way he looked."
[22:49] <+Siluvaine> "HOw did he approach you?"
[22:50] <@BradGM> Karla "Heh..like you did, 'paid me here, like you're payin' me to talk."
[22:53] * +Siluvaine nods.
[22:56] <+Aithorn> "This person, he didn't come here regularly as well, did he?"
[22:57] <@BradGM> Roll gossip Aithorn.

[22:59] <@BradGM> Karla "I dunno, I ain't here to socialise. So we're done here?"
[23:01] <+Aithorn> ((yeah, we're done unless Sil has something else))
[23:02] <+Siluvaine> ((Can't think of anything unfortunately))
[23:02] <+Aithorn> "It appears so. Thank you for your time."
[23:02] * +Aithorn goes back to where Edgerrin is waiting
[23:02] <@BradGM> Karla "Thanks for the money."
[23:03] <@Edgerrin> "Any luck?"
[23:03] <@BradGM> She leaves the 'corner' and retruns to her bar to get another drink and watch the end of the fight.
[23:03] * +Siluvaine follows Aithorn back. "She was hired, but the description wasn't...very helpful."
[23:03] <+Ulrich> "so we got nathing"
[23:04] <+Ulrich> "did she hire the mutants?"
[23:07] <+Siluvaine> "That was Carlott."
[23:07] <+Ulrich> "ah yeah, forgot, sorry"
[23:09] * +Siluvaine frowns, visibly annoyed. "A dead end for now it seems. And considering the Witchhunters, I doubt Carlott will be in the position to tell us anything."
[23:10] <@BradGM> ((Ok if we stop it here for tonight?))
[23:11] * @Edgerrin nods
[23:11] <+Ulrich> (sure, i can't think of anythign else we can get done at this point)
[23:11] <+Siluvaine> ((sounds good. Think we're a bit stumped at this point))
[23:12] <@BradGM> *End of Session***
[20:10] <@BradGM> Aithron, Edgerrin and Siluvaine made their way to the Amethyst college and met with Master Wizard Gabrielle Marsner. Explainin the situation to her, she agreed to help the Party destroy the Dagger of Yul K’chaum. Still, there is the danger of the Ritual itself, having to last a full day and night, and that other powers that manifested themselves just recently may still be considered a threat.
[20:10] <@BradGM> Marking a rendez-vous for the old Altdorf Cemetery in 2 day’s time, the Party returned to the others at the Imperial Inn, reviewing their options. They decided to make a visit to the Hard Cock, on the intent to see Karla Heinz, a shady woman who robbed their room a couple of days ago.
[20:11] <@BradGM> It is 'round the laater afternoon, patrons are coming in for a drink and a bite for the suppertime; the Hard Cock is northward, past the University, in an old converted warehouse.
[20:13] <+Siluvaine> ((Any sign of Alexi or Urlich?))
[20:14] <+Aithorn> "We should make sure we get some provisions while we stand watch."
[20:15] * +Aithorn will also take a look at the incoming patrons to see if any look like Karla
[20:15] <+Alexi> ((I suppose that's up to the GM))
[20:15] <@BradGM> ((Yes; they are there as well; thought Ulrich is in a silent mood))
[20:16] <+Siluvaine> "For tonight or at the ritual? And when should we go to the Hard Cock?"
[20:16] <@BradGM> Aithorn; you see no black hairded ponytailed woman, wearing black leather and some flashy red scarf around her waist and a nasty black scar under her left eye
[20:17] <+Aithorn> ((I thought we were at the Hard Cock))
[20:17] <+Aithorn> "For the ritual. We dare not leave the site due to hunger."
[20:17] <@BradGM> ((no; you were dicussing things at the II: like who to inform about being able to destroy the dagger and such like as well))
[20:18] <@BradGM> ((said about hand delivering messages tomorrow instead of using urchins))
[20:20] * +Siluvaine nods. "We still need to figure out who we trust to deal with this." She glances around. "Should we head over soon?"
[20:20] <+Aithorn> "We should probably go the Hard Cock as soon as we can. It will be easier to see people enter rather than be seen entering, and we can make our plans there."
[20:22] * +Siluvaine nods and gets to her feet, gathering her staff. "Hopefully our shadow will be gone."
[20:23] <@BradGM> You can roll your perception visual to maybe spot Hammelfist's Butler.

[20:27] <+Alexi> "Ve heff company." Alexi nods his head in that direction
[20:27] <@BradGM> And he seems to be looking abut some passing yelling peddler and doesn't even see you lot; you split away with ease in the crowd....
[20:27] * +Siluvaine tsks. "He's been around off and on all day."
[20:28] <@BradGM> It's rather sad, that he seems to not even see you, despite pointing in his direction. and being his mark.
[20:29] <+Aithorn> "If that is Hammelfist's scout, no wonder he's so paranoid."
[20:29] <+Siluvaine> "Indeed. Hopefully we'll be able to act without him."
[20:30] * +Siluvaine continues to head north, following the directions given.

[20:31] <@Diceling> BradGM: 90
[20:32] <@BradGM> The University is 'calm' at this time, still you can hear and see heavy activity happening on the Campus grounds, cheers and boos and cheers again, and a speech of sorts..a riot in the making?
[20:32] <@BradGM> !roll 1d10
[20:32] <@Diceling> BradGM: 8
[20:33] <+Siluvaine> "Probably a riot in the making. They were protesting the prices of paper earlier."
[20:33] <+Alexi> "Der iz alvays a riot in dis place."
[20:34] <+Aithorn> "Have they ever rioted about the riots, I wonder."
[20:35] <+Siluvaine> "I'm sure."
[20:36] <@BradGM> You arrive in the Northern part of the City, where you first entered. The slated air smells of sweat, and you see the cittizens being a more...popular class.
[20:36] * +Siluvaine holds her handkerchief up to her nose and keeps a look out for any threats.
[20:37] * +Aithorn is having enough of a time trying not to keep bumping into the press of humans around him
[20:41] * +Siluvaine looks for the Koningplatz an starts looking for a warehouse to the east of it.
[20:42] <@BradGM> You arrive at the Hard Cock. The large and long building seems to have good activity. There is a surpringly coloured sign of a Rooster in front. There are bouncers at the large door, collecting the people going in.
[20:43] <+Siluvaine> ((cover charge I assume?))
[20:43] <@BradGM> 2 pennies each head for entry.
[20:44] * +Siluvaine pays her way and heads inside, lookin around for Karla.
[20:44] * +Aithorn hands over the cover charge and makes his way inside
[20:45] * @Edgerrin grumbles and pays
[20:46] * +Alexi pays
[20:47] <@BradGM> The Arena hall seems more like a large tavern with 2 small rectangular caged section and a 3 feet deep pit in the center of the place. Two bars are in the middle on each side of the building, and you can even see that the center arena has a sort of 'VIP' section where bouncers are standing semi-private booths. Speaking of, you see alot of toughs walking zaround, almost as much as servatans and bookies.
[20:48] <+Aithorn> ((how to walk zaround: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iV2ViNJFZC8))
[20:49] * +Aithorn looks for an empty table and makes his way there, preferably with a good line of sight to the door
[20:49] <@BradGM> The patrons are as diverse as Altdorf, you see the poorest betting thier last copper, burghers having a good time, and even rich nobles, livelyed bodyguards and all, sitting at a central booth waltching a fight.
[20:50] * +Siluvaine follows Aithorn. "This is..more established than I thought it would be."

[20:50] <@Diceling> BradGM: 89 Failure by 6 degrees!
[20:50] <@BradGM> You walk around Aithron, and see no free table.
[20:52] <+Aithorn> ((so awkward and in the way, just like me in a crowded bar, how apropro))
[20:53] <@BradGM> Cheers and claps are spurring ehre adn there and fights in the secondary pits come and go. The central pit seems to be for the more 'main event' fights.
[20:54] <@BradGM> You you can a place at one of the bars; it,s standing but it's better than just standing.
[20:54] * +Siluvaine glances around for a place out of the way where they can see most of the place, and keeps an eye out for Karla. "WE'll have to follow her to someplace else I think."
[20:56] <@BradGM> You can get a pretty decent view of the central pit and most of the place from pretty much either longer sides of the bars.
[20:56] <@BradGM> Also, roll intelligence, all of you.

[21:01] <@BradGM> ((End times, everyone dies.))
[21:01] <+Siluvaine> "We could ask for her, if she's a regular..."
[21:02] <@BradGM> The bartender comes around "What'll be?"
[21:03] * +Siluvaine orders something that won't have her out with a simple sip.
[21:03] * +Siluvaine glances at the...more ruffian members of the group to see if its worth asking about the woman.
[21:04] <+Aithorn> "An ale and a name. We're looking to hire someone for a job. Someone who can be discrete."
[21:05] <@BradGM> Bartender "Hm. Ale it is then."
[21:05] <@Edgerrin> 'An ale fer me."

[21:12] <MordentHex> (sorry im late)
[21:12] * MordentHex is now known as Ulrich
[21:13] <@BradGM> The Bartender seems more inclined now that money's shown. He takes the shilling "So whatcha mean discrete? Like take and go or go for good?"
[21:13] <+Siluvaine> "Just go."
[21:13] <@BradGM> ((Hi. You guys are at the Hard Cock, fighting pit now, chasing after karla Heinz.))
[21:15] * Edgerrin sets mode: +v Ulrich
[21:16] <+Ulrich> ( oh no, I woke up with a hard cock? lol)
[21:17] * +Siluvaine uncovers a bit of the silver.
[21:18] <+Siluvaine> "We heard a name that might be helpful."
[21:18] <@BradGM> He goes and brgins back Ales. "Oh? Whut name?"

[21:23] <@BradGM> Bartender "And 10 copper for th'ales."

[21:27] <+Ulrich> "good, I can have a few beers before the show starts"
[21:28] * +Ulrich takes his beer and goes to sit down.
[21:29] <@BradGM> Oh, there's actually cocks fights happening in 2 secondary rectangular ,outer' cages, while the central 3 feet deep pit is more the for big fights. There are fights happening every 30 minutes or so, with bets before and drinking/talkigng in between.*
[21:29] <@BradGM> I suppose you all drink normally and not loking to drink yourself drunk?
[21:29] <+Aithorn> ((correct))
[21:29] <+Siluvaine> ((hopefully!))
[21:30] <+Aithorn> "So we have some time to discuss who we can reach out to for help. Gerhard Schiller, High Priest of Ulrich. Do we reach out to Klemperer? Or Messner?"

[21:31] <+Ulrich> (big fights?)
[21:31] <@BradGM> ((There are numerous bouncers, as much as servants and bookies among the patrons.))
[21:31] <@BradGM> ((the usual 1v1))
[21:32] <+Siluvaine> "Obviously Messner will have to be told, since he would provide access to the dagger. I am not sure what Klemperer would be able to provide."
[21:33] <+Ulrich> (reaching out to the high priest of Ulric in this place will probably turn it into a blood soaked mess)

[21:37] <+Ulrich> (ok, I'll just pull back on the boozing a bit)
[21:37] * +Siluvaine keeps an eye out for the woman or anyone else suspicious as hey discuss things. "I worry about Gottri Interfering."
[21:38] <@BradGM> ((Want some time to plan your purchases before you continue? You would have 3-4 hours in game to discuss it))
[21:38] <+Ulrich> (i don't wan't the booze to be affecting my axe arm)

[21:47] <+Ulrich> (move on sir, im good too)
[21:47] <+Ulrich> (maybe to good, a bit drunk it seems)
[21:47] <@BradGM> Hours passes as you can see the sky changing throught the door, and the cracks on the roof too. It's been an hour or so after dusk, when you see a tall woman, with rather broad shoulders, enter. She is as she was described. wearing black leather with a brigth red scrap under her black sword belt, black ponytailed hair and a nasty looking black scar under her left eye. As you confirm to yourselves it that's Karla Heizn, the bartender pops around to confirm it "'Ere yer's Karla."
[21:48] * +Siluvaine nods. "Thanks."
[21:49] <@BradGM> You see her move to the opposite bar, orders a ale and leans around to check out the central pit fight.
[21:51] * +Siluvaine studies the woman and looks around for signs of bodyguards.
[21:51] * +Ulrich looks at Edg. " I wish we could get in some of that pit fighting but for this business. Should be easy compared to beastymen and demons"
[21:53] <@BradGM> No bodyguards, as for her, she,s rather tall and broad shouldered, but still with a thinned physique overall. Her scar gives her quite a look, but ignoring that, she's rahter common.
[21:53] <+Aithorn> "Ulrich, as entertaining as watching that bantam rooster fight against your cock might be, we're here for a reason."
[21:54] <+Siluvaine> "Approach her about an offer, and get her away from here?"
[21:54] <+Aithorn> ((however we approach Karla, we probably don't want to mention that we are the victims, that would probably scare her off))
[21:55] <+Siluvaine> ((right))
[21:55] <@BradGM> ((talking about cocks and offers to strnange woman in bars..hm?))
[21:55] <+Ulrich> ( always)
[21:55] <@BradGM> ((can't go a campaign without players perving it out.))
[21:58] <@BradGM> She doesn't seems particularly on edge or watching over her shoulder; just like any other patrons, drinking and watching the cock fight.
[21:58] <+Siluvaine> 'Thoughts?"
[21:58] <+Alexi> "Dot sound like a goot idea."
[21:59] <@Edgerrin> "We tryin' ta questin 'er or elimanate 'er?
[21:59] <+Ulrich> "maybe me and Edg could do some sparing in the ring, get her attension focused on us, and then you just knife her in the back?"
[21:59] <+Ulrich> "could be the booze talking though"
[21:59] <+Aithorn> "Just to question her for now, she might just tell us what we want to know."
[22:00] <+Ulrich> "she don't looke the type to go down without a fight..."
[22:00] <+Siluvaine> "We want to question her for now. But I don't want to start a fight here."
[22:00] <+Aithorn> "But why would she tell us? We are carrying a message from a thieves' guild? or local crime boss? we want to know if the employer has any other work to do?
[22:01] <+Aithorn> ((just thinking out loud))
[22:01] <+Ulrich> "the assassins came from her right?"
[22:02] <+Siluvaine> "No, this is the woman that stole from us. Much worse."
[22:02] <+Ulrich> "just return the favor and put a dagger in her ribs and lets be on our way"
[22:03] <+Siluvaine> "I want to know if it was part of some plot."
[22:04] <@BradGM> ((Some international conspiracy to steal all my monies!))
[22:05] <+Siluvaine> ((Well, she could've been hired to steal the dagger by someone, but just took the money when she couldn't find the dagger))
[22:05] <+Ulrich> "sigh, your going to learn the tip of that sword she is carrying if yer not careful"
[22:05] * +Ulrich belches
[22:07] <+Ulrich> (are the 1v1's duals with weapons or just brwaling?)
[22:07] * +Siluvaine shrugs. "So say we want to hire her, and try to find someplace quiet to..talk."
[22:07] <+Ulrich> (brawling*)
[22:08] <@BradGM> ((cocks fights; as in roosters are fighting here, not humans))
[22:08] <+Aithorn> "Sounds about right, Siluvaine"
[22:08] <+Ulrich> (damn, lol)
[22:09] <+Ulrich> (i misunderstood all this time, :( need more coffee)

[22:11] <@BradGM> She sees you approach, she doesn't seems to make any move or seems concerned, almost as if she was expecting it.
[22:13] * +Siluvaine glances around before taking a seat. "I hear you're the one to talk to if we're looking for something acquired."
[22:13] * +Ulrich looks at be other gents, nods and gets ready for trouble
[22:14] <@BradGM> She licks her canine, it makes a distinct suckling sound, as she grins. Her voice is rather deep for her physique as well "You hear right."
[22:16] <@BradGM> She taps the bar to get the bartender's attention, who gets her a drink in short order. She just throw the man some coppers without too much looking, her attention on the curent business.
[22:16] <+Siluvaine> "Anything for a price?"
[22:18] <@BradGM> Karla "'Pretty much. What's th'job?"
[22:20] * +Siluvaine starts to speak, then glances around. "Not here."

[22:26] * +Siluvaine gets up and follows as well, keeping an eye out for anyone paying too much attention.
[22:27] * +Alexi will also
[22:27] * @Edgerrin will hang back and sip a drink watching for any signs of trouble like hiding operatives of Carlas
[22:28] * +Ulrich will do the same, but with less sipping
[22:28] <@BradGM> She takes you toward the back, near one of the rectangular fighting cages, perhaps halfway to the cage, she turns and goes behind one of the larger support beams. It does create a small shadow patch, and offer some discretion from the crowd. Those who stayed behind can see the others moving somewaht out of view; You're can't see everything but you know where they are.

[22:29] <@BradGM> Karla "Ok, let's hear it."
[22:31] <@BradGM> ((Edgerrin/Ulrich; you can try your luck at betting on fights as well!))
[22:31] <+Aithorn> ((here's my idea: we represent a local crime boss, we know she was hired for the burlary, we want to warn her employer to stay off someone's turf))
[22:32] <+Aithorn> ((it gets at what we want, without implicating her, or telling her who we are))
[22:32] * +Siluvaine considers. "Frankly we want to know about the burglary at Imperial Inn. That was rather...poorly done. Whoever hired you for that fucked up."
[22:34] <+Ulrich> (tempting but i would rather not get to distracted with a buzz going)
[22:34] <@BradGM> ((Roll that streetwise charm again, -10))

[22:34] <@Diceling> Siluvaine: 37 Success by 0 degrees!
[22:35] <@BradGM> Karla "What the hell do you mean? I did what I was paid for. No more, no less. As always."
[22:35] <@BradGM> Karla "Not my problem if there was nothing of value there."
[22:37] <+Siluvaine> "The Dagger?"
[22:37] <@BradGM> Karla "I dunno."
[22:37] <+Aithorn> "I have no doubt, but the person who paid you picked a bad target. And now someone wants to know who is moving in on his operation."
[22:38] * +Aithorn hands over a silver
[22:38] <@BradGM> Roll charm Aithorn.
[22:40] <+Aithorn> !dhroll 15

[22:40] <+Aithorn> !dhroll 15 fate
[22:40] <@Diceling> Aithorn: 21 Failure by 0 degrees!
[22:41] <@BradGM> She takes your silver "I was told nuthin' about no operation. Just to rob a series of room in an Inn, at a certain time, and bring back what I've found, that's all."
[22:42] <@BradGM> Karla "Man was average height, bit fat, blad and with a beard.
[22:42] <@BradGM> Karla "Man was average height, bit fat, blad and with a salt&pepper beard.
[22:43] <@BradGM> Karla "Man was average height, bit fat, bald and with a salt&pepper beard.
[22:45] * +Aithorn hands over another silver, "Anything else you can remember about him?"
[22:45] * +Siluvaine considers the response, trying to remember if they've run across anyone like that.
[22:48] <@BradGM> She takes the silver "Just that he looked like wearing a disguise, like wearing clothing to looks bigger. 'pretty sure he was some scribe or sumethin' he talked too good for the way he looked."
[22:49] <+Siluvaine> "HOw did he approach you?"
[22:50] <@BradGM> Karla "Heh..like you did, 'paid me here, like you're payin' me to talk."
[22:53] * +Siluvaine nods.
[22:56] <+Aithorn> "This person, he didn't come here regularly as well, did he?"
[22:57] <@BradGM> Roll gossip Aithorn.
[22:58] <+Aithorn> ((i haven't seen a crash and burn like this since the hindenburg))
[22:58] <+Aithorn> !dhroll 15
[22:58] <@Diceling> Aithorn: 82 Failure by 6 degrees!
[22:59] <+Aithorn> !dhroll 15 last fate
[22:59] <@Diceling> Aithorn: 75 Failure by 6 degrees!
[22:59] <@BradGM> Karla "I dunno, I ain't here to socialise. So we're done here?"
[23:01] <+Aithorn> ((yeah, we're done unless Sil has something else))
[23:02] <+Siluvaine> ((Can't think of anything unfortunately))
[23:02] <+Aithorn> "It appears so. Thank you for your time."
[23:02] * +Aithorn goes back to where Edgerrin is waiting
[23:02] <@BradGM> Karla "Thanks for the money."
[23:03] <@Edgerrin> "Any luck?"
[23:03] <@BradGM> She leaves the 'corner' and retruns to her bar to get another drink and watch the end of the fight.
[23:03] * +Siluvaine follows Aithorn back. "She was hired, but the description wasn't...very helpful."
[23:03] <+Ulrich> "so we got nathing"
[23:04] <+Ulrich> "did she hire the mutants?"
[23:07] <+Siluvaine> "That was Carlott."
[23:07] <+Ulrich> "ah yeah, forgot, sorry"
[23:09] * +Siluvaine frowns, visibly annoyed. "A dead end for now it seems. And considering the Witchhunters, I doubt Carlott will be in the position to tell us anything."
[23:10] <@BradGM> ((Ok if we stop it here for tonight?))
[23:11] * @Edgerrin nods
[23:11] <+Ulrich> (sure, i can't think of anythign else we can get done at this point)
[23:11] <+Siluvaine> ((sounds good. Think we're a bit stumped at this point))
[23:12] <@BradGM> *End of Session***
