[20:26] <@BradGM> Deciding to return to the Imperial Inn, the Party moved to investigate their mysterious robbery of a couple of days ago. Finding that a brawl erupted around the same time, a distraction perhaps, the Party tracked down the brawlers, a bald Dwarf with a large Axe tattoo and a Norscan with wild red beard and hair, to the Split Barrel, a drinking Den in the poor Sector of Altdorf.
[20:26] <@BradGM> . After the initial talks fell into a bar brawl, Edgerrin and Alexi, with a sucker-punching Aithron, had to play fists for a while to calm the belligerents. After the action, to the pleasure of the patrons, and a few tankards consumed to signify no hard feelings, they learned the pair was hired by a certain Karla Heinz, a thieving woman of some local renown, mostly known to work and deal with unsavoury characters, that even the Pair of thugs would not mingle with.
[20:27] <@BradGM> You are still at the Split Barrel, sitting at a table together. The Pair are busy drinking away at the bar, and a few patrons are looking at aithorn badly with thier coin they loss betting on the brawl.
[20:28] <+Siluvaine> "I wonder if its the same woman."
[20:30] <+Aithorn> "If we find her, we'll probably find out soon enough. Such powers would show themselves quickly. Gottri may be willing to help us if we tell him of an unlicensed wizard running around."
[20:31] <+Alexi> "Cloud be vorth de chance, yah."
[20:31] <+Alexi> (COULD, not CLOUD)
[20:32] <+Aithorn> "We would need to be sure before the Church's hand picked warriors need help against a footpad."
[20:32] * +Siluvaine shrugs. "With the colleges, politics are strange here."
[20:33] <@BradGM> ((and then some..))
[20:35] <@BradGM> Oh, time wise, it is about 2AM now.
[20:35] <+Siluvaine> "Should we sleep, or try the bar with the woman?"
[20:35] <+Siluvaine> "Or maybe our Innkeep will know more about this Karla Heinz."
[20:38] <+Aithorn> "Back to the inn for tonight, we likely wouldn't be able to get a meeting with this woman tonight at any rate."
[20:39] * +Siluvaine nods and gets up and starts her usual careful walk back, checking for all the usual suspects
[20:40] * +Alexi will follow
[20:40] <@BradGM> Roll it if you're checking for the Woman, Sil; still with a -30 penalty. The others can try as well.
[20:41] <+Alexi> (pfft. not at a -30)

[20:41] <+Diceling> Siluvaine: 71 Failure by 2 degrees!

[20:42] <+Diceling> Aithorn: 67 Failure by 3 degrees!
[20:43] <@BradGM> ((Still blind as bats I see))
[20:44] <@BradGM> Checking the hshadows, you see no shadow woman following you. As you're moving in a group, you also don't get bothered by the local thugs. You return to the Imperial Inn, the place being rather empty, short of a few patrons, due to the lateness of the time.
[20:44] <+Siluvaine> ((hey, I've got Night Vision, so not as blind as some!))
[20:44] * +Siluvaine turns to the Innkeep. "What do you know of a Karla Heinz?"
[20:44] <@BradGM> Roll gossip+10 Sil.
[20:45] <+Siluvaine> !dhroll 63
[20:45] <+Diceling> Siluvaine: 25 Success by 3 degrees!
[20:48] <@BradGM> Owner "Karla Heinz? I know she's trouble, she came a few times here, 'got wide shoulders for a woman...Hair' black as night and that scar on her face too, nasty. I think she likes to hang at the Hard Cock, some rooster fightin' pit on the north Shore near the Talabec."
[20:50] * +Siluvaine considers for a moment. "Wears her hair up in a top bun?"
[20:51] <+Aithorn> "That sounds like her, at least we'll have more numbers on our side this time."
[20:51] <@BradGM> Owner "nah, ponytail, tucked into her hood too."
[20:52] <@BradGM> Owner "She likes wearing black, but with some flashy piece, like a yellow scarf or somethin'"
[20:53] * +Siluvaine frowns as she consults her notes.
[20:54] <@BradGM> The Owner can also tells you that Heizn does not wear a cloak, or at lest he never saw her wearing one.
[20:54] <@BradGM> Note-wise apart from both being woman and having a hood, there's not much to go on with associating Heizn with the shadow woman.
[20:55] <@BradGM> And wearigng mostly balck- but the Shadow woman had no perticular flashy peice of clothing that you recall seeing
[20:55] <+Siluvaine> ((I was trying to associate her with the description we got of the woman who hired the arrow assassin))
[20:56] <@BradGM> ((Ah ok; nah, both seems stonrgly build, but the hirer was wearing a leather hapron and tough clothing rather than all black leathers.))
[20:57] * +Siluvaine takes a few more notes and thanks the Innkeeper and moves the group away from the patrons. "Three different women?"
[20:57] <+Alexi> "Could be t'coven?"
[20:58] <+Siluvaine> "Seems unlikely."
[20:59] <+Aithorn> ((brb))
[20:59] <@BradGM> You get a visit by the servant lass who brings you food and drinks
[20:59] <+Siluvaine> "Maybe if all three had tried..but a robbery an assassin and one invisible?"
[21:00] <@BradGM> mostly cold meat and cheese with bread, but it fills a gut.
[21:01] <@BradGM> ((Could also be three different people))
[21:01] <@BradGM> ((Or well..organisations, using a generalist term))
[21:03] <+Siluvaine> ((yeah...Siluvaine is thinking maybe the two hardbodies belonging to one, and the invisible woman to another))
[21:03] <+Siluvaine> "So plans tomorrow? That's the day that the assassin is supposed to meet the first woman..are we going to try to find Karla before that?"
[21:04] <@BradGM> ((Assasin being the Shooter))
[21:04] * @Edgerrin checks the desk to see if the re's been any messages for him.
[21:04] <+Aithorn> "We can try to find Karla, but this is beginning to look like unrelated groups, the lack of a contact would tip off the shooter, so that should take priority."
[21:07] <@BradGM> !dhroll 60
[21:07] <+Diceling> BradGM: 49 Success by 1 degree!
[21:08] <@BradGM> Yes Edgerrin; there is a message for you that arrived a couple of hours ago. The Runesmith has arrived it seems.
[21:08] * @Edgerrin than ks the innkeeper for the message.
[21:10] * +Siluvaine checks to see if the Amethyst college has left anything.
[21:10] <@BradGM> Nothing from them as of yet
[21:10] <+Siluvaine> "So do we lay low and hope she thinks the assassin finished us off?"
[21:10] <+Siluvaine> "And then surprise her tht night?"
[21:11] <+Aithorn> "Seems that way, we'd just have to get to the Three Beards before she does so she won't see us come in."
[21:11] <@Edgerrin> "I be needin ta go ta little karak tamarra."
[21:14] <+Aithorn> "That shouldn't be a problem, the rest of us can go find Karla if you can get to the bar alone."
[21:16] <+Siluvaine> "Are we going before night, or?"
[21:20] <+Aithorn> "I could guess, but arriving before twilight seems like enough?"
[21:20] * +Siluvaine nods.
[21:20] <@Edgerrin> "If we go ta the bar durin the day there more likely be less patrons ta troble us. on the other 'and, she might not be there."
[21:22] <+Siluvaine> "And she's more likely to spot us."
[21:23] <+Siluvaine> "But first some sleep."
[21:24] <+Aithorn> "Unless we could post a watch for her, then we must take some amount of risk. The morning will help us think."
[21:26] * @Edgerrin finds his room
[21:27] * +Aithorn also goes up to find his room
[21:29] * MordentHex (MordentHex@223.198.hyo.yn) has joined #shadowrun
[21:29] * MordentHex is now known as Ulrich
[21:30] <Ulrich> (sorry, just woke up)
[21:30] <@BradGM> ((Sorta well timed))
[21:30] * +Siluvaine heads up to her room.
[21:31] <Ulrich> (for what, everyone going back to bed? lol)
[21:31] <@BradGM> The night is somewhat short, and most get up a little later than usual.
[21:34] <@BradGM> ((yeah the night just came up, and the morning after too))
[21:35] * +Siluvaine wakes up, bather and replaces the herbs in her handkerchief before putting in an appearance the next morning.
[21:36] <Ulrich> (what have i missed?)
[21:37] * +Aithorn comes downstairs to the common room muttering about finding a butcher before the trip to the Three Beards
[21:37] <+Siluvaine> ((just trying to figure out what we're doing the next day..looking at laying low while Edgerrin heads for..someplace, and then near twilight heading to the Three Beards to try to find the woman that ordered our assassinations))
[21:37] <+Siluvaine> "A butcher?"
[21:37] * @Edgerrin heads downstairs
[21:40] <Ulrich> (ok)
[21:40] * +Aithorn rolls up his sleeve, "I have a feeling we will meet our shadow again before the day is through. It is a custom to declare your intentions before you add a tattoo to your name, and a sacrifice wouldn't hurt either."
[21:42] <+Siluvaine> "I see."
[21:42] <Ulrich> (you guys got in a bar fight again? lol)
[21:43] <@Edgerrin> (it wasnt a fight, we were using our fellowship skills to make friends)
[21:43] <+Aithorn> "How do the Marienburg clans tell their stories then, if they don't carry them for all to see?"
[21:44] <Ulrich> (friends..in fantasy, neva!)
[21:44] <+Siluvaine> "We use books."
[21:44] <+Aithorn> (( Edgerrin has plenty of fellowship, his left fist is called diplomacy))
[21:46] <@Edgerrin> "I not be sure when me runesmith be available. Was gonna check little karak with the merchant i made da deal with."
[21:46] * +Siluvaine glances at Ulrich. "Hammelfist wasn't very helpful."
[21:47] <@Edgerrin> "Me thiks it wont take to long if e's available."
[21:48] <+Aithorn> "Books? It must be a strange place then, worth seeing perhaps."
[21:48] * Ulrich wakes up in the Ulric Temple says his good byes and goes to the Inn
[21:48] <+Siluvaine> ((oh, heh))
[21:49] * Ulrich enters the Inn, belchez and smiles
[21:50] * +Siluvaine glances up at the Priest. "We were just deciding what to do. Hammelfist wasn't much help. All threats and no help."
[21:53] <Ulrich> "first things first, where is breakfast?"
[21:54] * Ulrich eyes the barkeep
[21:54] <@BradGM> It arrives a little later; since it is later in the morning, they had to do everything else- or reheat what was not eaten yet.
[21:54] <Ulrich> "want somethign to eattoo elf?"
[21:55] * +Siluvaine shrugs and nods.
[21:55] <Ulrich> "two meals please!"
[21:55] <Ulrich> "and an ale!"
[21:56] <Ulrich> "now what is this about..threats and no help?"
[21:56] <+Siluvaine> "Typical Witchhuntery."
[21:56] <+Alexi> "He vos verrah demanding."
[21:56] <Ulrich> "he's an arse, so?"
[21:57] <+Alexi> "He vanted de...item in qvestion."
[21:57] <Ulrich> "did you tell him politely to go bugger himself?"
[21:58] <@Edgerrin> "We left"
[21:58] <Ulrich> "or that"
[21:58] <+Aithorn> "We have too much to do to meet a gallows so soon. But before we leave Altdorf? Who knows."
[21:59] <@Edgerrin> "And 'e is an arse"
[21:59] <Ulrich> "we got charged with this and damned if anyone has been even a little helpful, I say we just leave and go hunt to beastmen"
[22:00] <+Siluvaine> "Seems like quite aa change."
[22:01] <Ulrich> "i hear you can make money, like a shiling a head in some places"
[22:01] <Ulrich> "and thats just for the runty ones"
[22:03] <Ulrich> "but we are hear, and im hungry, and i slept all night last night with a wolf to keep me warm, so what do i know."
[22:03] <+Aithorn> "It would give me great joy to go hunting the spawn of Cyanathair again, but I for one cannot leave this task undone."
[22:05] <Ulrich> "why don't we just lie, tell everyone when we get it back it's theirs, and then when we get there just turn it in anyways, bugger them all and their greed"
[22:05] <+Siluvaine> "So. Any plans for today other than wait?"
[22:07] <+Aithorn> "We can set up a meeting with Karla Heinz. Or meet Gottri's amber wizard."
[22:07] <Ulrich> "the emperor isn't in town by any chance is he, we could set up meeting with him while we are at it. hahaha!"
[22:08] <+Siluvaine> "I'm not sure Gottri had one in mind specifically."
[22:08] <+Alexi> "Iz hyu hokay? Hyu iz acting odd."
[22:09] <@Edgerrin> "I be going ta little karak. if anyone be wishing ta join me ya more than welcome."
[22:09] <Ulrich> "No, im not ok, this inaction is killing me."
[22:10] <Ulrich> "little Karak..yes that would be much better than more more wizards"
[22:10] * Ulrich looks at Sil "no offence"
[22:10] * @Edgerrin looks around the table 1"Anyone else?"
[22:11] <+Siluvaine> 'i'll stay here I think."
[22:11] <+Siluvaine> "Maybe the invisible woman will show up."
[22:11] <Ulrich> "if she does, cut off her head"
[22:13] * @Edgerrin gets up. 1'Well if anyone be changing their minds ya know where i be. Where ye be headin' and when so i can find ye when i be done?"
[22:13] * +Siluvaine motions to the Inn.
[22:14] <@BradGM> So who's going where with who?
[22:14] <Ulrich> (im going with Edgerrin)
[22:14] * @Edgerrin nods. 1I be off then." 6he says as he shoulders his pack and heads out the door.
[22:15] * +Alexi will stay with Sil, just in case
[22:15] * Ulrich waves "stay out of trouble" and follows
[22:15] <+Aithorn> ((no? nothing? boo!))
[22:16] * +Aithorn will at least go out and try and find a butcher shop and a small greenspace.
[22:17] <@BradGM> Butcher shop? Easy does it..Green space? that's a little more tricky..roll gossip aithorn.
[22:17] <Ulrich> (this reminds me of the movie (the bodyguard) what will those two do with all that free time in the Inn? hahaha!)
[22:19] * Ulrich looks at Edg "we are going to the bar again arent we?"
[22:19] <@Edgerrin> "Not right off. I be going ta see the merchant who knows the runesmith."
[22:19] <@Edgerrin> "He be back in town"
[22:19] <+Aithorn> ((If nothing else, he'll settle for a tree in a public square))
[22:20] <Ulrich> "ah ok, but you where planning on it right?"
[22:20] <@Edgerrin> "Then we can get drunk"

[22:21] <Ulrich> "a wulf "sheets" anywhere it wants"
[22:22] <@BradGM> Meanwhile, Edgerrin and Ulrich reach little Karak; still busy with mostly Dwarves working about thier business.
[22:22] * @Edgerrin looks fo rthe stall with the merchant that sent the note.
[22:23] * +Siluvaine finds a spot where she can watch the door, but won't be seen right away by someone entering.
[22:23] <@BradGM> He is still manning his booth in the enclosed animal market.
[22:24] <@BradGM> you get to a table near the front wall, right in the dead angle of the door; smeone would need to turn around to see you.
[22:25] <@Edgerrin> ((want us to go to #littlekarak or stay here?))
[22:26] <@BradGM> ((yeah let's move))
[22:26] <@BradGM> ((yet again, dunno if the others had anythign else planned really..I mean staying at the inn's rather dull..))
[22:27] * +Aithorn heads out the door, making his way in the general direction of the Imperial Menagerie, keeping an eye open for a butcher as he goes.
[22:28] <+Siluvaine> ((Well, she's waiting on an invisible woman to show up, and maybe a letter from the Amethyst college...))

[22:31] <@BradGM> ((you mean...we don't have enough fate points for 2 big fights in a day?))
[22:31] * +Aithorn buys a small fowl, one that hasn't been blood-let yet and keeps walking.
[22:31] <+Aithorn> ((no, she means she doesn't have enough horses to use as shields.))
[22:31] <+Siluvaine> ((well, considering how badly we get hurt from random thugs on the street, I'm not sure trying to deal with assassin woman and merc woman all in one day))
[22:32] <@BradGM> ((Well, that's only when Aithron and Edge rollled horribly on their gossip rolls.))
[22:36] <@BradGM> Aithron, that'll be 5 shillings.

[22:48] <@BradGM> Alexi and Siluvaine, as you're sitting there, you see a pair of nobleman, Bretonnians no less, enters the Inn! One loudly talks in Breton, before sitting at a table, which was already taken, before ordering his villain to take care of it. The Other Knight, seemeingly more calm, speaks to the two locals and, after a few pennies dropped, move away to another spot.
[22:49] <+Aithorn> ((causing a mild scene in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...))

[23:01] <@BradGM> The other patrons ignore the Bretonninas; now is a good way to see who's a local and who's not; the Altorfers doesn't seems to even know he's here, while the visitors turn thier heads at the sound of a forgein language.

[23:11] <@BradGM> Aithorn, you manage to get aaround and back to the Imperial Inn, where up front, some nasty looking man is guarding two large warhorses, yelling in a forgein language to beggars, kids, and anyone else who comes to close to the beasts.

[23:22] <+Alexi> "Hit vos verrah borin."
[23:23] * +Siluvaine holds herself still and tries to focus on the woman's chest so she isn't looking directly at the woman..kind of hoping she'll enter the Inn.
[23:23] <@BradGM> Make it a charm test.

[23:25] <+Aithorn> ((way to go, Edgerrin))
[23:26] <@BradGM> Siluvaine, you seems to con the shadow woman into thinking you do not see her. She moves to a corner of the room out of the way and seems to lean there, observing the place, the Bretonnian is still moving air, but mostly keep an eye on your table.
[23:27] * +Aithorn flags down the waitress at some point and inquires about getting the remaining part of the duck cooked.
[23:27] <+Aithorn> ((no other part of a meal required))
[23:28] * +Siluvaine says very quietly. "Don't react, she's here. In the corner." Siluvaine asks for a thick soup or porridge.
[23:28] <@BradGM> Servant "Hum,looking for lil' fancy huh? Give'it a few coppers and I'll have cooked for ya'"
[23:28] <@BradGM> It's 2 xcopper Sil.
[23:29] * +Aithorn hands over the pennies with a nod of gratitude.
[23:29] * +Siluvaine passes the coppers over.
[23:29] * +Siluvaine surreptiously keeps an eye on the woman.
[23:30] <+Aithorn> ((Sil is paying for my lunch? didn't expect that ))
[23:30] <@BradGM> ((no, 'think she's ordering poridge.))

EDGERRIN AND ULRICH GOES TO LITTLE KARAK
[22:27] * @Edgerrin to the merchant1"Ya sent me this note, can ya tell me where the runesmith be?"
[22:28] * @Ulrich keeps an eye out for undesirables
[22:28] <@BradGM> Merchant "Ah Slayer...aye he should be stayin' at the Cavern two streets down south."
[22:28] <@Edgerrin> "me thanks"
[22:29] <@Edgerrin> ((what did i say id give him a crown?))
[22:29] <@Ulrich> (I think so)
[22:29] <@Edgerrin> ((been so long i cant remember))
[22:29] <@Ulrich> (couldn't hurt at least)
[22:29] * @Edgerrin gives the dwarf a crown for the info.
[22:29] <@BradGM> ((yeah))
[22:30] <@BradGM> He bites it to make sure, before pocketing it greedly
[22:30] <@Edgerrin> "Again me thanks. best luck wit yer wares."
[22:30] * @Edgerrin heads toward the cavern.
[22:31] * @Ulrich follows
[22:31] <@BradGM> The Cavern is still as cold and dry as any Dwarven Hold. The scent of beer, meat and bodly odours abound.
[22:32] <@Ulrich> "if not for the elves, I think this would be a better place to stay"
[22:33] <@Edgerrin> "Prob'ly cut down on the attacks,"
[22:34] <@Ulrich> "definetely"
[22:34] * @Edgerrin enters
[22:34] * @Ulrich follows
[22:34] * @Edgerrin cozys up to the bar.
[22:35] <@Edgerrin> "Me good dwarf, ye be knowing a runesmith by da name of Kargun Gorilsson?"
[22:35] * @Ulrich eyes up the room
[22:35] <@BradGM> Bartender "Aye."
[22:35] <@Edgerrin> "Can ya kindly point me in his direction?"
[22:36] <@BradGM> He motions with his head towrd a table where a trio of dwarves are sitting and eating. One is visibly older than the others, judging by his full thick beard that's even got a few beard-rings as well.
[22:36] <@Edgerrin> "Me thanks, can ya be-ring us a round of what they be drinkin'. On me."
[22:37] * @Ulrich looks at Edge and then the Barkeep. "lovely"
[22:37] <@Edgerrin> ((LOL))
[22:40] <@BradGM> Bartender "Aye."
[22:40] <@Edgerrin> "What be the damage?"
[22:41] <@BradGM> Bartender "15 pennies."
[22:42] * @Edgerrin hands him a shilling and 8 pennies.
[22:43] <@BradGM> Bartender "thanks."
[22:43] <@Edgerrin> (thats 20 pennies right?))
[22:43] <@Ulrich> "your generous today"
[22:43] <@Edgerrin> "I be in a gud mood"
[22:44] * @Edgerrin grabs three mugs and looks aT ulrich. 1'Can ya grab da other two?"
[22:44] <@Ulrich> "sure"
[22:44] * @Ulrich grabs the other two mugs
[22:45] * @Edgerrin wlaks over ta the table.
[22:45] * @Ulrich follows
[22:45] <@Edgerrin> "Me freinds, not meaning t a disturb ya but I be looking fer Kargun."
[22:46] * @Ulrich smiles
[22:46] <@BradGM> THe old Dwarf puts his mug down "I be Kargun Gorilsson."
[22:47] <@Edgerrin> 'Well met sir. I be Edgerrin MacMannus, Can me and me freind join ya fer a drink?
[22:47] <@Edgerrin> "I be buying"
[22:49] * @Ulrich nods respectfully to the three dwarves
[22:49] <@BradGM> Kargun "Can't go wrong with free ale."
[22:49] * @Edgerrin sets the ales down and pulls up a chair.
[22:49] <@Ulrich> (so there i was with four dwarves and then...)
[22:50] <@Ulrich> (we decided to hunt a dragon)
[22:50] * @Edgerrin points to ulrich. his be me freind Ulrich."
[22:50] <@Ulrich> "hello, nice to meet ya"
[22:50] <@Edgerrin> ((We're looking for 9 more dwarves. youre the hobbit))
[22:51] <@Edgerrin> ((either that and 3 more and youre snow white))
[22:51] <@BradGM> They nod back at you Ulrich.
[22:51] <@Ulrich> (damn it, im always the hobbit!)
[22:51] <@BradGM> ((but you're going on an adventure!))
[22:51] <@Ulrich> (shaving my head and becoming a slayer, im doomed)
[22:52] <@Edgerrin> to Kargun. "I hear yer a master of runes. i was hoping ye could look at sumtinhg fer me and tem e if can be fixed."
[22:53] <@BradGM> Kargun "I'm not taking work; I already have enough orders already...but show it anyways."
[22:54] <@Edgerrin> "Me thanks."
[22:54] * @Edgerrin unshoulders his pack. He first unstraps his warhammer from the back of the pack then opens the flap. He'll pull out the three peices of the old warhammer and lay them on the table.
[22:57] * @Ulrich sips his ale
[23:00] <@BradGM> As you put the pieces on the table, Kargun's eyes seems to widen "By Grungni's beard! The Rune Hammer of the High-Kings of the Black Mountains!"
[23:00] <@BradGM> Needless to say, in just a few moments, most Dwarf are around the tble, in awe of such ipiece of craftmanship.
[23:02] <@BradGM> Kargun "This hammer was lost over 200 years ago! Where have you found it?"
[23:02] <@BradGM> He passes his hand on the pieces, sfoftly, as one would touch a relic.
[23:04] <@Edgerrin> "In me poursuit of a glorious death, we wuz working fer the churhces of Ulric and Sigmar in middenhiem. I found it in a tomb we distroyed dedicated ta a warrior of chaos...
[23:04] <@Edgerrin> "I had ta kill a minautaur to get to it."
[23:04] * @Edgerrin points to the tattoo on his head on the beast.
[23:05] <@Edgerrin> "I be hoping it can be fixed so I can return it ta Karak Hirn where i be from."
[23:05] <@Edgerrin> "Or someone can fer me if i meet me death."
[23:05] <@Ulrich> "He did actually kill the minotaur"
[23:06] <@Ulrich> "and can ya fix it?"
[23:07] <@BradGM> Kargun seems to think for a moment "It'll need Gromil, gold and copper..and a forge as hot as a Dragon's breath..but it can be done. But it will take time. A month, perhaps two."
[23:08] <@Edgerrin> "what be the cost?"
[23:09] <@BradGM> Kargun "More than you can afford; this is the Weapon of the High-Kings..to be honoured to work on such weapon is payment enough. Still, if you do bring it to Karak Hirn, I would take some credit for repairing it..."
[23:10] <@Edgerrin> "I would not 'ave it any other way. It ye were up fer it i'd be honored if ye came with me when the time comes."
[23:11] <@Ulrich> "well, that seems to work out well for all"
[23:11] <@BradGM> Kargun "Aye..I'd wish to see the Holds, but I have made promises can't break."
[23:12] <@Edgerrin> "I understand. If ye can't go I will be sure to sing your praises fer fixin' it."
[23:12] <@Edgerrin> "I be only looking fer the honor of delivering it if fate allows."
[23:13] * @Ulrich looks at the hammer
[23:13] <@Ulrich> "i would not think looking on it that it would be such an old powerful weapon"
[23:13] <@BradGM> Kargun "Aye..now such relic demands drinking to it! Barkeep! Bugman's for all!" THe Cavern erupts in cheers as mugs of frosty Bugman's is passed around.
[23:13] <@Ulrich> "oh...oh...oh no"
[23:14] * @Edgerrin raises his glass. 1"TA THE HAMMER AND TA KARGUN!!!"
[23:14] <@Edgerrin> "LONG LIVE DA DWARVEN RACE!!!"
[23:15] * @Ulrich feels sheepishly out of place all of a sudden
[23:15] * @Edgerrin slaps Ulrich on the back. "Me freind yer now an honorary Dwarf!"
[23:15] <@Edgerrin> "I gona tech ya ta drink like one"
[23:17] <@BradGM> Kargun "Aye c'mon long-shank! Drink and be merry!"
[23:18] <@BradGM> A Bugman's worth 2 drinks for a human; so you can knock a couple before rolling
[23:20] * @Ulrich drinks and smiles
[23:22] <@Edgerrin> 6In between drinks Edge will make arrangements with Kargun including offering what funds he can for the repair
[23:23] <@BradGM> It doesn't take long for an empty mug or platter to be filled again to the rim or stacked with juicy goat meat.
[23:23] * @Edgerrin will also talk and share tales with other dwarves in the cavern.
[23:24] <@BradGM> Roll me a gossip test +30 Edge.
[23:24] <@BradGM> in the mian room.
[23:24] <@Edgerrin> fate
[23:25] * @Edgerrin also encourages to tell his tales.
[23:25] <@Edgerrin> *ulrich
[23:26] <@BradGM> Roll Gossip+20 Ulrich,
[23:27] <@BradGM> Edgerrin for a while you seems to be back in your old life, taking, drinking, laughing, telling stories, drinking, eating, making jokes and farts, more drinking...
[23:29] <@BradGM> ((Ulrich?))
[23:29] * @Edgerrin thinks to himself he would sleep or pass out, here if he could :)
[23:30] <@BradGM> Well, it's only midday; who knows if you'll pass out in your own vomit during the afternoon...
[23:31] <@BradGM> ((ok if we cut it here then?))
[23:31] <@Ulrich> (s00ry was afk)
[23:31] <@BradGM> ((roll gossip+20 then we'll cut it))
[23:31] <@Edgerrin> yup ok with me
[23:32] <@Ulrich> !dhroll 62
[23:32] <@BradGM> ((in the main room))
[23:33] <@BradGM> Ulrich also tries to mingle, but the Dwarves are less entousiastic; polite, but not going into it much; of course, after a few ales, Urich's pseech begins to slack..
[23:33] <@BradGM> *End of Session*
[20:26] <@BradGM> Deciding to return to the Imperial Inn, the Party moved to investigate their mysterious robbery of a couple of days ago. Finding that a brawl erupted around the same time, a distraction perhaps, the Party tracked down the brawlers, a bald Dwarf with a large Axe tattoo and a Norscan with wild red beard and hair, to the Split Barrel, a drinking Den in the poor Sector of Altdorf.
[20:26] <@BradGM> . After the initial talks fell into a bar brawl, Edgerrin and Alexi, with a sucker-punching Aithron, had to play fists for a while to calm the belligerents. After the action, to the pleasure of the patrons, and a few tankards consumed to signify no hard feelings, they learned the pair was hired by a certain Karla Heinz, a thieving woman of some local renown, mostly known to work and deal with unsavoury characters, that even the Pair of thugs would not mingle with.
[20:27] <@BradGM> You are still at the Split Barrel, sitting at a table together. The Pair are busy drinking away at the bar, and a few patrons are looking at aithorn badly with thier coin they loss betting on the brawl.
[20:28] <+Siluvaine> "I wonder if its the same woman."
[20:30] <+Aithorn> "If we find her, we'll probably find out soon enough. Such powers would show themselves quickly. Gottri may be willing to help us if we tell him of an unlicensed wizard running around."
[20:31] <+Alexi> "Cloud be vorth de chance, yah."
[20:31] <+Alexi> (COULD, not CLOUD)
[20:32] <+Aithorn> "We would need to be sure before the Church's hand picked warriors need help against a footpad."
[20:32] * +Siluvaine shrugs. "With the colleges, politics are strange here."
[20:33] <@BradGM> ((and then some..))
[20:35] <@BradGM> Oh, time wise, it is about 2AM now.
[20:35] <+Siluvaine> "Should we sleep, or try the bar with the woman?"
[20:35] <+Siluvaine> "Or maybe our Innkeep will know more about this Karla Heinz."
[20:38] <+Aithorn> "Back to the inn for tonight, we likely wouldn't be able to get a meeting with this woman tonight at any rate."
[20:39] * +Siluvaine nods and gets up and starts her usual careful walk back, checking for all the usual suspects
[20:40] * +Alexi will follow
[20:40] <@BradGM> Roll it if you're checking for the Woman, Sil; still with a -30 penalty. The others can try as well.
[20:41] <+Alexi> (pfft. not at a -30)
[20:41] <+Siluvaine> !dhroll 50
[20:41] <+Diceling> Siluvaine: 71 Failure by 2 degrees!
[20:41] <+Siluvaine> ((oops, should've been 40))

[20:42] <+Diceling> Aithorn: 67 Failure by 3 degrees!
[20:43] <@BradGM> ((Still blind as bats I see))
[20:44] <@BradGM> Checking the hshadows, you see no shadow woman following you. As you're moving in a group, you also don't get bothered by the local thugs. You return to the Imperial Inn, the place being rather empty, short of a few patrons, due to the lateness of the time.
[20:44] <+Siluvaine> ((hey, I've got Night Vision, so not as blind as some!))
[20:44] * +Siluvaine turns to the Innkeep. "What do you know of a Karla Heinz?"
[20:44] <@BradGM> Roll gossip+10 Sil.
[20:45] <+Siluvaine> !dhroll 63
[20:45] <+Diceling> Siluvaine: 25 Success by 3 degrees!
[20:48] <@BradGM> Owner "Karla Heinz? I know she's trouble, she came a few times here, 'got wide shoulders for a woman...Hair' black as night and that scar on her face too, nasty. I think she likes to hang at the Hard Cock, some rooster fightin' pit on the north Shore near the Talabec."
[20:50] * +Siluvaine considers for a moment. "Wears her hair up in a top bun?"
[20:51] <+Aithorn> "That sounds like her, at least we'll have more numbers on our side this time."
[20:51] <@BradGM> Owner "nah, ponytail, tucked into her hood too."
[20:52] <@BradGM> Owner "She likes wearing black, but with some flashy piece, like a yellow scarf or somethin'"
[20:53] * +Siluvaine frowns as she consults her notes.
[20:54] <@BradGM> The Owner can also tells you that Heizn does not wear a cloak, or at lest he never saw her wearing one.
[20:54] <@BradGM> Note-wise apart from both being woman and having a hood, there's not much to go on with associating Heizn with the shadow woman.
[20:55] <@BradGM> And wearigng mostly balck- but the Shadow woman had no perticular flashy peice of clothing that you recall seeing
[20:55] <+Siluvaine> ((I was trying to associate her with the description we got of the woman who hired the arrow assassin))
[20:56] <@BradGM> ((Ah ok; nah, both seems stonrgly build, but the hirer was wearing a leather hapron and tough clothing rather than all black leathers.))
[20:57] * +Siluvaine takes a few more notes and thanks the Innkeeper and moves the group away from the patrons. "Three different women?"
[20:57] <+Alexi> "Could be t'coven?"
[20:58] <+Siluvaine> "Seems unlikely."
[20:59] <+Aithorn> ((brb))
[20:59] <@BradGM> You get a visit by the servant lass who brings you food and drinks
[20:59] <+Siluvaine> "Maybe if all three had tried..but a robbery an assassin and one invisible?"
[21:00] <@BradGM> mostly cold meat and cheese with bread, but it fills a gut.
[21:01] <@BradGM> ((Could also be three different people))
[21:01] <@BradGM> ((Or well..organisations, using a generalist term))
[21:03] <+Siluvaine> ((yeah...Siluvaine is thinking maybe the two hardbodies belonging to one, and the invisible woman to another))
[21:03] <+Siluvaine> "So plans tomorrow? That's the day that the assassin is supposed to meet the first woman..are we going to try to find Karla before that?"
[21:04] <@BradGM> ((Assasin being the Shooter))
[21:04] * @Edgerrin checks the desk to see if the re's been any messages for him.
[21:04] <+Aithorn> "We can try to find Karla, but this is beginning to look like unrelated groups, the lack of a contact would tip off the shooter, so that should take priority."
[21:07] <@BradGM> !dhroll 60
[21:07] <+Diceling> BradGM: 49 Success by 1 degree!
[21:08] <@BradGM> Yes Edgerrin; there is a message for you that arrived a couple of hours ago. The Runesmith has arrived it seems.
[21:08] * @Edgerrin than ks the innkeeper for the message.
[21:10] * +Siluvaine checks to see if the Amethyst college has left anything.
[21:10] <@BradGM> Nothing from them as of yet
[21:10] <+Siluvaine> "So do we lay low and hope she thinks the assassin finished us off?"
[21:10] <+Siluvaine> "And then surprise her tht night?"
[21:11] <+Aithorn> "Seems that way, we'd just have to get to the Three Beards before she does so she won't see us come in."
[21:11] <@Edgerrin> "I be needin ta go ta little karak tamarra."
[21:14] <+Aithorn> "That shouldn't be a problem, the rest of us can go find Karla if you can get to the bar alone."
[21:16] <+Siluvaine> "Are we going before night, or?"
[21:20] <+Aithorn> "I could guess, but arriving before twilight seems like enough?"
[21:20] * +Siluvaine nods.
[21:20] <@Edgerrin> "If we go ta the bar durin the day there more likely be less patrons ta troble us. on the other 'and, she might not be there."
[21:22] <+Siluvaine> "And she's more likely to spot us."
[21:23] <+Siluvaine> "But first some sleep."
[21:24] <+Aithorn> "Unless we could post a watch for her, then we must take some amount of risk. The morning will help us think."
[21:26] * @Edgerrin finds his room
[21:27] * +Aithorn also goes up to find his room
[21:29] * MordentHex (MordentHex@223.198.hyo.yn) has joined #shadowrun
[21:29] * MordentHex is now known as Ulrich
[21:30] <Ulrich> (sorry, just woke up)
[21:30] <@BradGM> ((Sorta well timed))
[21:30] * +Siluvaine heads up to her room.
[21:31] <Ulrich> (for what, everyone going back to bed? lol)
[21:31] <@BradGM> The night is somewhat short, and most get up a little later than usual.
[21:34] <@BradGM> ((yeah the night just came up, and the morning after too))
[21:35] * +Siluvaine wakes up, bather and replaces the herbs in her handkerchief before putting in an appearance the next morning.
[21:36] <Ulrich> (what have i missed?)
[21:37] * +Aithorn comes downstairs to the common room muttering about finding a butcher before the trip to the Three Beards
[21:37] <+Siluvaine> ((just trying to figure out what we're doing the next day..looking at laying low while Edgerrin heads for..someplace, and then near twilight heading to the Three Beards to try to find the woman that ordered our assassinations))
[21:37] <+Siluvaine> "A butcher?"
[21:37] * @Edgerrin heads downstairs
[21:40] <Ulrich> (ok)
[21:40] * +Aithorn rolls up his sleeve, "I have a feeling we will meet our shadow again before the day is through. It is a custom to declare your intentions before you add a tattoo to your name, and a sacrifice wouldn't hurt either."
[21:42] <+Siluvaine> "I see."
[21:42] <Ulrich> (you guys got in a bar fight again? lol)
[21:43] <@Edgerrin> (it wasnt a fight, we were using our fellowship skills to make friends)
[21:43] <+Aithorn> "How do the Marienburg clans tell their stories then, if they don't carry them for all to see?"
[21:44] <Ulrich> (friends..in fantasy, neva!)
[21:44] <+Siluvaine> "We use books."
[21:44] <+Aithorn> (( Edgerrin has plenty of fellowship, his left fist is called diplomacy))
[21:46] <@Edgerrin> "I not be sure when me runesmith be available. Was gonna check little karak with the merchant i made da deal with."
[21:46] * +Siluvaine glances at Ulrich. "Hammelfist wasn't very helpful."
[21:47] <@Edgerrin> "Me thiks it wont take to long if e's available."
[21:48] <+Aithorn> "Books? It must be a strange place then, worth seeing perhaps."
[21:48] * Ulrich wakes up in the Ulric Temple says his good byes and goes to the Inn
[21:48] <+Siluvaine> ((oh, heh))
[21:49] * Ulrich enters the Inn, belchez and smiles
[21:50] * +Siluvaine glances up at the Priest. "We were just deciding what to do. Hammelfist wasn't much help. All threats and no help."
[21:53] <Ulrich> "first things first, where is breakfast?"
[21:54] * Ulrich eyes the barkeep
[21:54] <@BradGM> It arrives a little later; since it is later in the morning, they had to do everything else- or reheat what was not eaten yet.
[21:54] <Ulrich> "want somethign to eattoo elf?"
[21:55] * +Siluvaine shrugs and nods.
[21:55] <Ulrich> "two meals please!"
[21:55] <Ulrich> "and an ale!"
[21:56] <Ulrich> "now what is this about..threats and no help?"

[21:58] <@Edgerrin> "We left"
[21:58] <Ulrich> "or that"
[21:58] <+Aithorn> "We have too much to do to meet a gallows so soon. But before we leave Altdorf? Who knows."
[21:59] <@Edgerrin> "And 'e is an arse"
[21:59] <Ulrich> "we got charged with this and damned if anyone has been even a little helpful, I say we just leave and go hunt to beastmen"
[22:00] <+Siluvaine> "Seems like quite aa change."

[22:01] <Ulrich> "and thats just for the runty ones"
[22:03] <Ulrich> "but we are hear, and im hungry, and i slept all night last night with a wolf to keep me warm, so what do i know."
[22:03] <+Aithorn> "It would give me great joy to go hunting the spawn of Cyanathair again, but I for one cannot leave this task undone."
[22:05] <Ulrich> "why don't we just lie, tell everyone when we get it back it's theirs, and then when we get there just turn it in anyways, bugger them all and their greed"
[22:05] <+Siluvaine> "So. Any plans for today other than wait?"
[22:07] <+Aithorn> "We can set up a meeting with Karla Heinz. Or meet Gottri's amber wizard."
[22:07] <Ulrich> "the emperor isn't in town by any chance is he, we could set up meeting with him while we are at it. hahaha!"
[22:08] <+Siluvaine> "I'm not sure Gottri had one in mind specifically."
[22:08] <+Alexi> "Iz hyu hokay? Hyu iz acting odd."
[22:09] <@Edgerrin> "I be going ta little karak. if anyone be wishing ta join me ya more than welcome."
[22:09] <Ulrich> "No, im not ok, this inaction is killing me."
[22:10] <Ulrich> "little Karak..yes that would be much better than more more wizards"
[22:10] * Ulrich looks at Sil "no offence"
[22:10] * @Edgerrin looks around the table 1"Anyone else?"
[22:11] <+Siluvaine> 'i'll stay here I think."
[22:11] <+Siluvaine> "Maybe the invisible woman will show up."
[22:11] <Ulrich> "if she does, cut off her head"
[22:13] * @Edgerrin gets up. 1'Well if anyone be changing their minds ya know where i be. Where ye be headin' and when so i can find ye when i be done?"
[22:13] * +Siluvaine motions to the Inn.
[22:14] <@BradGM> So who's going where with who?
[22:14] <Ulrich> (im going with Edgerrin)
[22:14] * @Edgerrin nods. 1I be off then." 6he says as he shoulders his pack and heads out the door.
[22:15] * +Alexi will stay with Sil, just in case
[22:15] * Ulrich waves "stay out of trouble" and follows
[22:15] <+Aithorn> ((no? nothing? boo!))
[22:16] * +Aithorn will at least go out and try and find a butcher shop and a small greenspace.
[22:17] <@BradGM> Butcher shop? Easy does it..Green space? that's a little more tricky..roll gossip aithorn.
[22:17] <Ulrich> (this reminds me of the movie (the bodyguard) what will those two do with all that free time in the Inn? hahaha!)
[22:19] * Ulrich looks at Edg "we are going to the bar again arent we?"
[22:19] <@Edgerrin> "Not right off. I be going ta see the merchant who knows the runesmith."
[22:19] <@Edgerrin> "He be back in town"
[22:19] <+Aithorn> ((If nothing else, he'll settle for a tree in a public square))
[22:20] <Ulrich> "ah ok, but you where planning on it right?"
[22:20] <@Edgerrin> "Then we can get drunk"

[22:21] <@BradGM> Aithorn, you learn of a small greenspac near the Imperal Menagerie.
[22:21] <Ulrich> "a wulf "sheets" anywhere it wants"
[22:22] <@BradGM> Meanwhile, Edgerrin and Ulrich reach little Karak; still busy with mostly Dwarves working about thier business.
[22:22] * @Edgerrin looks fo rthe stall with the merchant that sent the note.
[22:23] * +Siluvaine finds a spot where she can watch the door, but won't be seen right away by someone entering.
[22:23] <@BradGM> He is still manning his booth in the enclosed animal market.
[22:24] <@BradGM> you get to a table near the front wall, right in the dead angle of the door; smeone would need to turn around to see you.
[22:25] <@Edgerrin> ((want us to go to #littlekarak or stay here?))
[22:26] <@BradGM> ((yeah let's move))
[22:26] <@BradGM> ((yet again, dunno if the others had anythign else planned really..I mean staying at the inn's rather dull..))
[22:27] * +Aithorn heads out the door, making his way in the general direction of the Imperial Menagerie, keeping an eye open for a butcher as he goes.
[22:28] <+Siluvaine> ((Well, she's waiting on an invisible woman to show up, and maybe a letter from the Amethyst college...))

[22:31] <@BradGM> ((you mean...we don't have enough fate points for 2 big fights in a day?))
[22:31] * +Aithorn buys a small fowl, one that hasn't been blood-let yet and keeps walking.
[22:31] <+Aithorn> ((no, she means she doesn't have enough horses to use as shields.))
[22:31] <+Siluvaine> ((well, considering how badly we get hurt from random thugs on the street, I'm not sure trying to deal with assassin woman and merc woman all in one day))
[22:32] <@BradGM> ((Well, that's only when Aithron and Edge rollled horribly on their gossip rolls.))
[22:36] <@BradGM> Aithron, that'll be 5 shillings.
[22:37] <+Aithorn> ((done))
[22:40] * +Aithorn keeps meandering through the streets, stopping once to let a noble on a horse past and once for a group of halfling merchants pushing carts being chased by a group of young men dressed as students.

[22:44] <@BradGM> You arrive at the Menagerie; rich woman and thier children are out and about, visiting the numeorus caged animals that fills the Menagerie. You also spot a small green space with an ancient oak tree, a few benches, shurbberies, and even a small path between thm

[22:47] <@BradGM> ((not bad..))
[22:48] <@BradGM> Alexi and Siluvaine, as you're sitting there, you see a pair of nobleman, Bretonnians no less, enters the Inn! One loudly talks in Breton, before sitting at a table, which was already taken, before ordering his villain to take care of it. The Other Knight, seemeingly more calm, speaks to the two locals and, after a few pennies dropped, move away to another spot.
[22:49] <+Aithorn> ((causing a mild scene in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...))
[22:49] <+Alexi> (Is it our table?)
[22:49] * +Aithorn walks a bit onto the path and kneels down in the middle of the path near to and facing the oak tree, humming a song and begins to butcher the duck. Painting some of the blood onto his arm, and sprinkling the remainder at the base of the oak.
[22:49] <@BradGM> No, it's one fo the 'best' ones, offering the most visibily while being cloer to the herth.

[22:51] <+Aithorn> ((indeed they are))
[22:52] <@BradGM> At the Inn the loud one yells his order "Du vin la gueuse, que je pisse un poison! Et pas de cette merdasse coupé avec de l'eau bon pour les cochons!" The calmer one speaks with a accented Reikspiel "Wine please, no watered."
[22:54] * +Siluvaine eyes the two and keeps an eye on the door to see if the woman snuck in with the men.

[22:56] <+Aithorn> Having completed tracing out the pattern and finishing the prayer, Aithorn quarters the duck and rises to leave, leaving a quarter at the tree, throwing a quarter into a nearby pen of a carnivorous creature, and offering a third to a nearby beggar just outside the menagerie.
[22:56] <@BradGM> You both see nothing..the Bretonnians are sorta sucking all the attention as well,with thier loud mouth uncouth matters and.what's that smell?

[22:57] <@BradGM> Aithorn, all goes well, as the crowd move and all, but you do get escorted out of the menagerie by guards as it is illegal to feed the animals...but the beggar sure is happy having some meat!
[23:00] * +Siluvaine tries not to wrinkle her nose as she glances around the inn.
[23:01] <@BradGM> The other patrons ignore the Bretonninas; now is a good way to see who's a local and who's not; the Altorfers doesn't seems to even know he's here, while the visitors turn thier heads at the sound of a forgein language.
[23:02] * +Aithorn starts walking back to the inn, carrying the last part of the duck with him, enjoying the sunshine and trying not to draw the attention of any other halfling merchants.

[23:05] <+Siluvaine> ((heh))
[23:05] * +Siluvaine ignores the Bretonians after a few glances, going back to waiting for the woman and or a letter.
[23:06] <+Aithorn> ((I'm a halfling and I'm ok! I sleep all night and I riot all day! I sell meat pies, I skip and jump, I like to press wildflowers. I put on women's clothing and hang around in bars!))
[23:08] * +Aithorn moves a few streets upwind around the riot and keeps walking
[23:11] <@BradGM> Aithorn, you manage to get aaround and back to the Imperial Inn, where up front, some nasty looking man is guarding two large warhorses, yelling in a forgein language to beggars, kids, and anyone else who comes to close to the beasts.

[23:18] <@BradGM> Yuo see Aithron entering the Inn!
[23:19] * +Siluvaine studies the area around Aithorn intently, looking to see if the woman follows him in.
[23:19] <@BradGM> Aithron, you look around, see a pair of bretonnian Knights, and right to your right, in the door's dead angle, is siluvaine and Alexi.

[23:21] <@BradGM> Siluvaine, as you stare at Aithorn's surrounding,s you see a familiar distortion with your magic sense; a form takes shapes, and it is the Shadow Woman, looking into the inn; you spotted her right before she spotted you!
[23:22] <+Alexi> "Hit vos verrah borin."

[23:26] <@BradGM> Siluvaine, you seems to con the shadow woman into thinking you do not see her. She moves to a corner of the room out of the way and seems to lean there, observing the place, the Bretonnian is still moving air, but mostly keep an eye on your table.
[23:27] * +Aithorn flags down the waitress at some point and inquires about getting the remaining part of the duck cooked.
[23:27] <+Aithorn> ((no other part of a meal required))
[23:28] * +Siluvaine says very quietly. "Don't react, she's here. In the corner." Siluvaine asks for a thick soup or porridge.

[22:30] <@BradGM> He bites it to make sure, before pocketing it greedly
[22:30] <@Edgerrin> "Again me thanks. best luck wit yer wares."
[22:30] * @Edgerrin heads toward the cavern.
[22:31] * @Ulrich follows
[22:31] <@BradGM> The Cavern is still as cold and dry as any Dwarven Hold. The scent of beer, meat and bodly odours abound.
[22:32] <@Ulrich> "if not for the elves, I think this would be a better place to stay"

[22:35] <@BradGM> Bartender "Aye."
[22:35] <@Edgerrin> "Can ya kindly point me in his direction?"
[22:36] <@BradGM> He motions with his head towrd a table where a trio of dwarves are sitting and eating. One is visibly older than the others, judging by his full thick beard that's even got a few beard-rings as well.
[22:36] <@Edgerrin> "Me thanks, can ya be-ring us a round of what they be drinkin'. On me."
[22:37] * @Ulrich looks at Edge and then the Barkeep. "lovely"

[22:40] <@Edgerrin> "What be the damage?"
[22:41] <@BradGM> Bartender "15 pennies."

[22:51] <@BradGM> They nod back at you Ulrich.

[22:51] <@Ulrich> (shaving my head and becoming a slayer, im doomed)
[22:52] <@Edgerrin> to Kargun. "I hear yer a master of runes. i was hoping ye could look at sumtinhg fer me and tem e if can be fixed."
[22:53] <@BradGM> Kargun "I'm not taking work; I already have enough orders already...but show it anyways."
[22:54] <@Edgerrin> "Me thanks."
[22:54] * @Edgerrin unshoulders his pack. He first unstraps his warhammer from the back of the pack then opens the flap. He'll pull out the three peices of the old warhammer and lay them on the table.
[22:57] * @Ulrich sips his ale
[23:00] <@BradGM> As you put the pieces on the table, Kargun's eyes seems to widen "By Grungni's beard! The Rune Hammer of the High-Kings of the Black Mountains!"
[23:00] <@BradGM> Needless to say, in just a few moments, most Dwarf are around the tble, in awe of such ipiece of craftmanship.
[23:02] <@BradGM> Kargun "This hammer was lost over 200 years ago! Where have you found it?"
[23:02] <@BradGM> He passes his hand on the pieces, sfoftly, as one would touch a relic.
[23:04] <@Edgerrin> "In me poursuit of a glorious death, we wuz working fer the churhces of Ulric and Sigmar in middenhiem. I found it in a tomb we distroyed dedicated ta a warrior of chaos...
[23:04] <@Edgerrin> "I had ta kill a minautaur to get to it."
[23:04] * @Edgerrin points to the tattoo on his head on the beast.

[23:05] <@Edgerrin> "Or someone can fer me if i meet me death."
[23:05] <@Ulrich> "He did actually kill the minotaur"
[23:06] <@Ulrich> "and can ya fix it?"
[23:07] <@BradGM> Kargun seems to think for a moment "It'll need Gromil, gold and copper..and a forge as hot as a Dragon's breath..but it can be done. But it will take time. A month, perhaps two."
[23:08] <@Edgerrin> "what be the cost?"
[23:09] <@BradGM> Kargun "More than you can afford; this is the Weapon of the High-Kings..to be honoured to work on such weapon is payment enough. Still, if you do bring it to Karak Hirn, I would take some credit for repairing it..."
[23:10] <@Edgerrin> "I would not 'ave it any other way. It ye were up fer it i'd be honored if ye came with me when the time comes."
[23:11] <@Ulrich> "well, that seems to work out well for all"
[23:11] <@BradGM> Kargun "Aye..I'd wish to see the Holds, but I have made promises can't break."
[23:12] <@Edgerrin> "I understand. If ye can't go I will be sure to sing your praises fer fixin' it."
[23:12] <@Edgerrin> "I be only looking fer the honor of delivering it if fate allows."
