[20:20] <@BradGM> Mutants were now running free in the Temple of Ulric for reasons unknown. Siluvaine’s magic sense helped her see the familiar taint of warpstone in both Otto’s water and a pitcher drank by a group of mutated scribes.
[20:20] <@BradGM> The party then split up; Aithron, Alexi, Siluvaine and Father Ranulf went to the kitchen to investigate the well, while Edgerrin, Ulrich and a Temple Guard made their way to the courtyard where a group of humans were holding off a horde of mutant, blocking their way outside on the streets of Middenheim. In the kitchen, the party got the jump on mutants devouring helpers and cooks.
[20:21] <@BradGM> The battle was starting to turn when Temple Guards arrived. Investigating the well showed that it was poisoned by warpstone, and quickly barred and put under guard by Father Ranulf. In the courtyard, the party charged in, the Temple Guard almost being killed, Edgerrin following not far behind.
[20:21] <@BradGM> After the brutal battle, the party reunited, they were tasked by High Priest Liebnitz to stop whoever was responsible. He also suggested keeping an eye on the City’s wells, as the Temple of Ulric’s outbreak was somewhat controlled, mutants loose in the Middenheim can spell riots, panic and chaos.
[20:21] <@BradGM> After getting some healing draught from the Temple’s Apothecary, the party spit up to get gear and help before starting their prowling once the sun is set.
[20:21] <@BradGM> ((If you don't recall, you each recived 2 healing draughts and took one on the spot for those lacking full wounds))
[20:22] <+Aithorn> ((can I roll 1d10 for the one one the spot? that didn't get done last time))
[20:23] <@BradGM> ((it's a flat 4 wounds back since it's a potion))
[20:23] <+Aithorn> ((with my luck, even better))
[20:24] <@BradGM> ((hehe))
[20:24] <@BradGM> You all gather at a predetermined spot: as you all went in your own direction before this, would going to the Scholar be an ok gathering point?
[20:25] <+Siluvaine> ((seems fine to me))
[20:25] <@Edgerrin> ((yup)
[20:25] <+Aithorn> ((yup))
[20:26] <@BradGM> Ulrich is already there....waiting with 3 other men. The ones from the Darkwald.
[20:26] <@Edgerrin> (our buddies))
[20:27] <@BradGM> ((yeah..'buddies'))
[20:28] <@BradGM> HCM "You took your time. Sit down."
[20:28] * +Aithorn walks in with an elven shield slung over his shoulder and sits down next to Edgerrin, "Did you find a way to work those scars into the next tattoo?"
[20:28] <@Edgerrin> "Nah didnt have the time."
[20:28] * +Siluvaine tries not to frown as she sees the other men. At some point she's apparently bought new clothes, though they look to be the same quality as the old ones...just not as torn up and bloody.
[20:28] * +Alexi leans against the wall
[20:28] <@Edgerrin> "If we make it back and get a bit of a rest I'll do it then. but i got some good ideas." 6he says with a grin.
[20:31] <@BradGM> HCM "Your friend here was wandering around in a daze, lucky for you we found him; even more fortunate is th fact that he revealed to us a certain...how shall we say..embarassment?"
[20:31] <+Alexi> "Vot vould dot be?"
[20:31] * +Siluvaine eyes Ulrich, then shrugs as she takes a seat.
[20:32] * @Edgerrin elbows Aithorn. "E's gonna tell us he a terrible barber and an even worse physician."
[20:33] <+Aithorn> "Apparently all the other barbers in Nuln were wearing them, we tried to talk him out of it."
[20:34] <@BradGM> Ulrich seems abscent-minded or trying to turn invisible. He's still not voer otto's transformation and death, obviously.
[20:35] <@BradGM> HCM "Yes, how pleasureable you two find this so amusing, no I meant the other embarassing thing at the Temple of Ulric."
[20:35] * +Aithorn turns back to HCM, "We did what we could given their new *outfits*, would you have rather we handled it differently?"
[20:38] <@BradGM> HCM "No. You have done what had to be done. Thought I would have burned them all before departing, to be certain...Still, your companion told us of Liebnitz's concrns and strategem, and we agree to it; we must be covert and strike before the heretics can strike and purge the nest from Sigmar's Sight!"
[20:39] <+Aithorn> "We think the same vendor might be trying to peddle new garments elsewhere, but there are so many places he can set up shop."
[20:39] * @Edgerrin pulls out a piece of paper.
[20:40] <@Edgerrin> "I was able to get this from me friends at the guild." 6he unrolls a map of the water system.
[20:40] <@Edgerrin> "we might be able to tell where they want to strike next."
[20:40] <@BradGM> HCM "We have means to cover most of the north-eastern part of the City."
[20:40] <@BradGM> !dhroll 67
[20:40] <Diceling> BradGM: 74 Failure by 0 degrees!
[20:40] <@BradGM> ((some witch hunter))
[20:42] <+Aithorn> "How many locations does that leave for us to cover?"
[20:45] <@BradGM> HCM "Too many. You must be selective. The Altquartier is condemed, so Ostwald and the Southgate districts are now where the poor and destitude survive. Sudgarden is also packed, not to mention the Great Park."
[20:46] <@BradGM> All in all, that leaves you with a dozen wells to keep an eye on.
[20:47] * +Siluvaine raises an eyebrow at that as she leans over and looks at the map of the water system. "That's..quite a system that they expect us to keep an eye on."
[20:48] <+Alexi> "So ve hunt dem den. Vy vait fur dem to attack?"
[20:48] <@Edgerrin> "Maybe we should be starting by looking for clues around the well we know was poisioned."
[20:49] <+Siluvaine> "Probably the best bet."
[20:49] <+Siluvaine> "It was strange though. I didn't see any claw marks."
[20:49] <+Aithorn> "Back inside the temple? Liebniz may not let us in, he won't think the problem could exist in his temple."
[20:49] <@BradGM> HCM " We cannot trck what has no trace; they will need to explose themsevles to strike, leaving us a window of opportunity to catch them in the act."
[20:51] * +Siluvaine glances at the newcomers. "That still leaves a dozen sites to guard."
[20:53] <@BradGM> HCM "I realise that, but we cannot arouse suspicion, 'elsethey will simply hide so deep they will not be found."
[20:54] <@BradGM> HCM "That is why we must act with discretion and secrecy. Sigmar will help us."
[20:54] <+Siluvaine> "Maybe we can get some of the Temple guards from the temple of Ulrich."
[20:56] <+Aithorn> "Perhaps we can make a big show at some locations, to drive our quarry to where we wait in the shadows."
[20:57] <@BradGM> HCM "Let us not make them nevous; they must beleive they are out of all suspicion. Anything out of the ordinary will alert and touble them."

[20:59] <@BradGM> You can see that the HCM seems to know what he's talking about.
[21:00] <+Aithorn> "To not drive one's quarry, will also catch prey. You know how to read the hearts of men better than I in a strange place."
[21:00] * +Siluvaine considers. "If we don't have the resources to cover them all, then we'e just left to..what, hoping we pick the right place to watch?"
[21:01] <@BradGM> THe HCM nods at you Aithron.
[21:02] <@BradGM> HCM "you can arrange osme patrols routes here and here, that will allow you to cover 6 at once.
[21:02] <@BradGM> He points a few wells in Sudgarden and Ostwald.
[21:04] <@BradGM> HCM "Whatever you do, make it well, darkness arrives."
[21:06] <+Aithorn> "How will we patrol, in pairs or alone?"
[21:06] * +Siluvaine holds back on her sarcasm as she considers the problem. "The material is safe enough to move, unless they're insane enough to use it in the raw form."
[21:07] * +Siluvaine shrugs. "Pairs I'd think. I don't think we can afford more. But it still leaves so much ground to cover if we can't trust anyone else."
[21:07] <@Edgerrin> "Safer in pairs but we be covering more gorud alone."
[21:08] <@BradGM> The HCM gets up with his 2 companions "Sigmar guides you." And he leaves the Scholar without even a second' notice.
[21:08] <@Edgerrin> "ground"
[21:09] <@BradGM> Ulrich gets up from his dazed "Sorry guys they sorta found me and I thought we needed help, but they srota took over..."
[21:09] * +Siluvaine groans and lays her head down on the table. "Not very helpful though."
[21:10] <+Aithorn> ((Do not meddle in the affairs of witchhunters, for they are paranoid and quick to light you on fire."

[21:14] <@Edgerrin> "I don't mind being alone either."
[21:16] <+Siluvaine> "Or we can make one of the parties with three. Its still going to leave so much uncovered."
[21:18] <+Siluvaine> "Maybe I'll get lucky and be able to trace the warpstone if I cross its path."
[21:19] <@BradGM> ((so who's with who?))

[22:24] <@Edgerrin> 6They've had no luck finding any clues but they did get to the bottom of a bottle of rot gut.
[22:24] <@BradGM> ((He ain't gonna pass!))
[22:24] <+Siluvaine> "Anyplace but here I hope."
[22:25] <@BradGM> Ulrich "Oh yeah, siluvaine is not cut out for the silent stuff."
[22:25] <+Alexi> "Ve founds sumvun tryink to poison de vells."
[22:26] <+Aithorn> "The time for silence is past, now we have work to do."
[22:27] <+Siluvaine> "With Warpstone again? What did you do with it?"
[22:27] <@Edgerrin> "Really, who?'
[22:27] <+Alexi> "Ve gives it und heem to de church."
[22:27] <@Edgerrin> "what did you do to him?"
[22:27] * @Edgerrin nods
[22:27] <+Aithorn> "Given directly to Father Ranulf, he seems trust worthy."
[22:28] <@Edgerrin> "Twod of been more fun ta give em ta de witch hunters."
[22:28] <+Siluvaine> "Like we can find them."
[22:28] <+Siluvaine> "Where are we going now?"
[22:29] <+Aithorn> "He said something about a warehouse, the question is what do we do when we get there. Try to get one person in? or pretend we are refugees from the Altdorf chapter?"
[22:29] <+Siluvaine> "Did they say how many?"
[22:30] <+Alexi> "Six. Vun uf dem is a priest of Der Schneaky Vun."
[22:31] <@Edgerrin> "They aint gonna ta believe a dwarves and two elfs are refugees."
[22:31] * +Siluvaine frowns in annoyance. "Well, maybe one of us can try to get the door open, and then we rush with the rest?"
[22:33] * @Edgerrin nods in agreement to that
[22:33] <+Aithorn> "Very well, who will go first?"
[22:33] <+Aithorn> "Ulrich, or Alexi?"
[22:33] <@BradGM> Ulrich "Well, which warehouse it is?"
[22:33] <+Alexi> "Hy tink hit be better fur me to be furst."
[22:33] <+Siluvaine> "Someone that can hold the door atleast."
[22:34] <@Edgerrin> "ulrich. they can understand him."
[22:34] <@Edgerrin> "then Alexi can kick the door in."
[22:34] <@BradGM> ((hhahaha))
[22:34] <@BradGM> *Balor seems to agree "make sense to me."
[22:35] <+Aithorn> ((Heck, let's send balor in first, that flame whip could be handy.... sorry....))
[22:37] <@BradGM> ((that joke SHALL NOT PASS))
[22:37] <+Alexi> ((Not with a 42 it won't. That almost doesn't even qualify as an F. Try and getit up to a 67 at least))
[22:38] * +Aithorn nods, "Let's get along then."
[22:38] * +Siluvaine nods and heads along. "Lets get this thing done before thigns really spiral out of control."
[22:40] <@BradGM> You go to Ostwald. Balor tells are many warehouses in Ostwald, while being quite in lower numbers compared to the market/merchant districts.
[22:41] <@BradGM> Balor "Which one is it?"
[22:41] <+Alexi> "Vell dey vill heff guards outside der place to vatch."
[22:42] * +Siluvaine blinks. "You didn't get a location other than 'warehouse'?"
[22:42] <@BradGM> ((Aithron and Alexi, Better go re-read 22:02 when the cultist told you everything))
[22:43] <+Alexi> "Hit is an abandoned vun dot sits over a smuggling cave."
[22:45] * +Siluvaine turns to Balor, seeing if this might help narrow it down.
[22:45] <@BradGM> Balor "Right."
[22:46] <@BradGM> Balor "So we must search for an abandonned wrehouse with guards posted at the door."
[22:46] <@BradGM> Balor "That sounds a little odd to me.."
[22:47] <+Alexi> "Vell, do hyu know uf any smuggling caves?"
[22:47] <+Aithorn> "He seemed to think he was about to be cursed and possibly eaten. We may have tried a bit too hard to get information."
[22:48] <+Siluvaine> "Pietr might know. Or be helpful."
[22:48] <@Edgerrin> "Pieter be gone when we went looking for em."
[22:49] <+Alexi> "Hy vas not goink to eat him!"
[22:49] <+Aithorn> "He didn't know that."
[22:49] * +Aithorn grins
[22:49] <+Siluvaine> "Maybe he's back by now. Its either that or root through each warehouse."
[22:50] * @Edgerrin nods. 1'then lets head to the tavern."
[22:52] <@BradGM> Balor "Sanest thing in that conversation."
[22:52] <+Aithorn> "We'll need to hurry, the others will be expecting to hear the results of their work."
[22:52] * +Siluvaine shrugs. "Perhaps Aithorn and I should stay here, see if we see anything strange while you go find him."
[22:54] * +Aithorn nods. "I'll save the walk if he's unlikely to be awake at this hour."
[22:54] * @Edgerrin heads to t he Drowned Rat.
[22:57] <@BradGM> Ulrich goes with the Dwarves.
[22:57] <@BradGM> You arrive at the Drowned Rat (#19 http://dark-heresy.wikispaces.com/file/view/Middenheim%20nonname.JPG/553315720/Middenheim%20nonname.JPG). The place is a single story large room with half repaired tables and chairs and a counter doing the wight of the building directly to your right as you enter. Pieter is ther with the two cronies from earlier and another two you don't recognise.
[22:58] * @Edgerrin will walk up to the table.
[22:58] * @Edgerrin looks at the other two to see how they're dressed.
[22:59] <@BradGM> There are only them and the large man with a heavy gruff beard behind the counter.
[22:59] <@Edgerrin> "Pieter. do ya got a second?"
[23:00] <@BradGM> They have confortable clothing, clean as well. They even seems to bathed with regularity.
[23:00] <@BradGM> Man1 "What the hell is this?" *Man2 gets his hand under the table.*
[23:01] <@BradGM> Pieter "Easy, he's all right, I know him."
[23:02] * +Siluvaine keeps an eye out while Edgerrin is away.
[23:02] <@Edgerrin> "I be meaning no disrespect."
[23:02] <@Edgerrin> "I just need a moment of is time."
[23:03] <@BradGM> Pieter " 'kinda got this 'ere moment for them Edgerrin. important stuff, y'know."
[23:04] <@Edgerrin> "Only a mopment and i be out of ya hair."
[23:04] <@Edgerrin> "I can wait at another table if ya want."
[23:04] <@BradGM> Pieter "Look if it's the well thing I ain't intrested, ok? It sounds stupid."
[23:04] <@Edgerrin> "Again, I a'int trying to interrput yer business but this is important."
[23:05] * +Aithorn is sitting on a crate, "All these streets look the same to me, what was the name of the Inn again?"
[23:05] <@Edgerrin> "I understand that. Just got a quick question."
[23:06] <@BradGM> Roll gossip Edgerrin.
[23:06] <@Edgerrin> !dhroll 7
[23:06] <Diceling> Edgerrin: 47 Failure by 4 degrees!
[23:06] <@Edgerrin> ((fellowship isnt it?))
[23:06] <@BradGM> ((yes))
[23:07] <@BradGM> Pieter "No, not now. you go sit down over *there* and wait for me to come see *you*, right?"
[23:07] <@Edgerrin> "sure"
[23:08] * @Edgerrin finds a table and orders pints for him and Balor.
[23:09] <@BradGM> 6 pennies
[23:11] <@BradGM> Man 1 and 2 seems to grill Pieter a little about the interruption, but the tone switch back to something more calm soon enough. You can't really hear what they're saying, but Man2 keeps looking at you three here and ther until about 20 minutes later, they both leave by not keeping their backs at you, thier hands on obviously concealed weapons.
[23:12] * @Edgerrin doesnt care what they saying and drinks his beer
[23:14] <@BradGM> Pieter chats with his cronies before going over to your table, snuffing while he sits down " 'heard you Slayer types were suicidal, but yer'just don't care dontcha?"
[23:14] <@BradGM> Pieter "So what's that question that's so important?
[23:15] <@Edgerrin> "Were looking for a warehouse with a smuggling cave under it in the Ostwald area."
[23:15] <@Edgerrin> "Ya know of any?"
[23:15] <@BradGM> Pieter "What? Why would I know about that?"
[23:16] * @Edgerrin cocks an eye at Pieter. 1"Please, I ain't stupid."
[23:17] <@Edgerrin> "We're looking for a cult holed up in one. Then mean bad business for the city, all of the city."
[23:17] <@Edgerrin> *they
[23:17] <@BradGM> Pieter "Mee too y'know..maybe ol' Schutzamnn sent 'ya you and your buddy'ere to get me swingin' and get some goods out of it mebbe."
[23:17] <+Aithorn> ((let's maybe keep some of our cards up to our vest
[23:17] <+Aithorn> ))
[23:17] <@BradGM> Pieter seems to stops and think at the mention of cult. "A cult?"
[23:18] <@Edgerrin> "I could care less about Schutzmann. Besides I aint never done ya wrong."
[23:20] <@Edgerrin> "Ere, it htis helps." Edgerrin slides 5 schillings to Pieter
[23:20] <@BradGM> Pieter "Yeah, but what do you mean cult? Like those flagellants nutcases? We ain't likin' them much, too loud.."
[23:21] <@Edgerrin> "Just something I be investigating. Ya dont need ta know more. Better for ya health."
[23:21] <@BradGM> Balor "They be hidin' under an abandonned warehouse they are."
[23:23] <@BradGM> Pieter "Abandonned huh?" *He rubs his chin for a few moments.* "I might have a few ideas, yeah..."
[23:25] <@BradGM> Pieter "But a..it it's still lean like the last time..yer'mind not tellin' anyone and tellin' me instead? That wouda sorta hlped yer case and mine with my'a.. business partners."
[23:25] <@BradGM> ((*lean=clean))
[23:27] <@Edgerrin> "We ain't looking to trouble no ones business. This has ta do with the Ratmen we found in the sewers. That be as much as i cna tell ya."
[23:28] <@Edgerrin> "I think ya'd agree, more of them in the city be bad for anyones business."
[23:28] <@BradGM> Pieter "Well, just sayin' if you can save the cave and keep it under wraps..it would be appreciated, y'know."
[23:29] <@Edgerrin> "that not be a problem."
[23:29] <@Edgerrin> "Think of it as a service ta ya. We cleaning it out for your use."
[23:29] <@Edgerrin> "Once we be done the cave will be gone from me memory."
[23:31] <@BradGM> Pieter tells you two 3 warehouses he knows of that *might* be what you're looking for.
[23:32] <@BradGM> ((and let's stop it here for tonight if it,s all right with you))
[23:32] * @Edgerrin nods
[23:32] <@Edgerrin> "me thanks."
[23:32] <+Siluvaine> ((Sounds good. Use nexttime for combat))
[23:32] * @Edgerrin will get up and leave.
[23:32] <@BradGM> Pieter "Just come back and tell me it's clean, will'ya6"
[23:32] <@Edgerrin> "I will."
[23:32] <@BradGM> *End of Session***
[20:20] <@BradGM> The party then split up; Aithron, Alexi, Siluvaine and Father Ranulf went to the kitchen to investigate the well, while Edgerrin, Ulrich and a Temple Guard made their way to the courtyard where a group of humans were holding off a horde of mutant, blocking their way outside on the streets of Middenheim. In the kitchen, the party got the jump on mutants devouring helpers and cooks.
[20:21] <@BradGM> The battle was starting to turn when Temple Guards arrived. Investigating the well showed that it was poisoned by warpstone, and quickly barred and put under guard by Father Ranulf. In the courtyard, the party charged in, the Temple Guard almost being killed, Edgerrin following not far behind.
[20:21] <@BradGM> After the brutal battle, the party reunited, they were tasked by High Priest Liebnitz to stop whoever was responsible. He also suggested keeping an eye on the City’s wells, as the Temple of Ulric’s outbreak was somewhat controlled, mutants loose in the Middenheim can spell riots, panic and chaos.
[20:21] <@BradGM> After getting some healing draught from the Temple’s Apothecary, the party spit up to get gear and help before starting their prowling once the sun is set.
[20:21] <@BradGM> ((If you don't recall, you each recived 2 healing draughts and took one on the spot for those lacking full wounds))
[20:22] <+Aithorn> ((can I roll 1d10 for the one one the spot? that didn't get done last time))
[20:23] <@BradGM> ((it's a flat 4 wounds back since it's a potion))
[20:23] <+Aithorn> ((with my luck, even better))
[20:24] <@BradGM> ((hehe))
[20:24] <@BradGM> You all gather at a predetermined spot: as you all went in your own direction before this, would going to the Scholar be an ok gathering point?
[20:25] <+Siluvaine> ((seems fine to me))
[20:25] <@Edgerrin> ((yup)
[20:25] <+Aithorn> ((yup))
[20:26] <@BradGM> Ulrich is already there....waiting with 3 other men. The ones from the Darkwald.
[20:26] <@Edgerrin> (our buddies))
[20:27] <@BradGM> ((yeah..'buddies'))
[20:28] <@BradGM> HCM "You took your time. Sit down."
[20:28] * +Aithorn walks in with an elven shield slung over his shoulder and sits down next to Edgerrin, "Did you find a way to work those scars into the next tattoo?"
[20:28] <@Edgerrin> "Nah didnt have the time."
[20:28] * +Siluvaine tries not to frown as she sees the other men. At some point she's apparently bought new clothes, though they look to be the same quality as the old ones...just not as torn up and bloody.
[20:28] * +Alexi leans against the wall
[20:28] <@Edgerrin> "If we make it back and get a bit of a rest I'll do it then. but i got some good ideas." 6he says with a grin.
[20:31] <@BradGM> HCM "Your friend here was wandering around in a daze, lucky for you we found him; even more fortunate is th fact that he revealed to us a certain...how shall we say..embarassment?"
[20:31] <+Alexi> "Vot vould dot be?"
[20:31] * +Siluvaine eyes Ulrich, then shrugs as she takes a seat.
[20:32] * @Edgerrin elbows Aithorn. "E's gonna tell us he a terrible barber and an even worse physician."
[20:33] <+Aithorn> "Apparently all the other barbers in Nuln were wearing them, we tried to talk him out of it."
[20:34] <@BradGM> Ulrich seems abscent-minded or trying to turn invisible. He's still not voer otto's transformation and death, obviously.
[20:35] <@BradGM> HCM "Yes, how pleasureable you two find this so amusing, no I meant the other embarassing thing at the Temple of Ulric."
[20:35] * +Aithorn turns back to HCM, "We did what we could given their new *outfits*, would you have rather we handled it differently?"
[20:38] <@BradGM> HCM "No. You have done what had to be done. Thought I would have burned them all before departing, to be certain...Still, your companion told us of Liebnitz's concrns and strategem, and we agree to it; we must be covert and strike before the heretics can strike and purge the nest from Sigmar's Sight!"
[20:39] <+Aithorn> "We think the same vendor might be trying to peddle new garments elsewhere, but there are so many places he can set up shop."
[20:39] * @Edgerrin pulls out a piece of paper.
[20:40] <@Edgerrin> "I was able to get this from me friends at the guild." 6he unrolls a map of the water system.
[20:40] <@Edgerrin> "we might be able to tell where they want to strike next."
[20:40] <@BradGM> HCM "We have means to cover most of the north-eastern part of the City."
[20:40] <@BradGM> !dhroll 67
[20:40] <Diceling> BradGM: 74 Failure by 0 degrees!
[20:40] <@BradGM> ((some witch hunter))
[20:42] <+Aithorn> "How many locations does that leave for us to cover?"
[20:45] <@BradGM> HCM "Too many. You must be selective. The Altquartier is condemed, so Ostwald and the Southgate districts are now where the poor and destitude survive. Sudgarden is also packed, not to mention the Great Park."
[20:46] <@BradGM> All in all, that leaves you with a dozen wells to keep an eye on.
[20:47] * +Siluvaine raises an eyebrow at that as she leans over and looks at the map of the water system. "That's..quite a system that they expect us to keep an eye on."
[20:48] <+Alexi> "So ve hunt dem den. Vy vait fur dem to attack?"
[20:48] <@Edgerrin> "Maybe we should be starting by looking for clues around the well we know was poisioned."
[20:49] <+Siluvaine> "Probably the best bet."
[20:49] <+Siluvaine> "It was strange though. I didn't see any claw marks."
[20:49] <+Aithorn> "Back inside the temple? Liebniz may not let us in, he won't think the problem could exist in his temple."
[20:49] <@BradGM> HCM " We cannot trck what has no trace; they will need to explose themsevles to strike, leaving us a window of opportunity to catch them in the act."
[20:51] * +Siluvaine glances at the newcomers. "That still leaves a dozen sites to guard."
[20:53] <@BradGM> HCM "I realise that, but we cannot arouse suspicion, 'elsethey will simply hide so deep they will not be found."
[20:54] <@BradGM> HCM "That is why we must act with discretion and secrecy. Sigmar will help us."
[20:54] <+Siluvaine> "Maybe we can get some of the Temple guards from the temple of Ulrich."
[20:56] <+Aithorn> "Perhaps we can make a big show at some locations, to drive our quarry to where we wait in the shadows."
[20:57] <@BradGM> HCM "Let us not make them nevous; they must beleive they are out of all suspicion. Anything out of the ordinary will alert and touble them."
[20:57] <@BradGM> Aithron, roll perception, visual.
[20:58] <+Aithorn> !dhroll 51
[20:58] <Diceling> Aithorn: 47 Success by 0 degrees!
[20:59] <@BradGM> You can see that the HCM seems to know what he's talking about.
[21:00] <+Aithorn> "To not drive one's quarry, will also catch prey. You know how to read the hearts of men better than I in a strange place."
[21:00] * +Siluvaine considers. "If we don't have the resources to cover them all, then we'e just left to..what, hoping we pick the right place to watch?"
[21:01] <@BradGM> THe HCM nods at you Aithron.
[21:02] <@BradGM> HCM "you can arrange osme patrols routes here and here, that will allow you to cover 6 at once.
[21:02] <@BradGM> He points a few wells in Sudgarden and Ostwald.
[21:04] <@BradGM> HCM "Whatever you do, make it well, darkness arrives."
[21:06] <+Aithorn> "How will we patrol, in pairs or alone?"
[21:06] * +Siluvaine holds back on her sarcasm as she considers the problem. "The material is safe enough to move, unless they're insane enough to use it in the raw form."
[21:07] * +Siluvaine shrugs. "Pairs I'd think. I don't think we can afford more. But it still leaves so much ground to cover if we can't trust anyone else."
[21:07] <@Edgerrin> "Safer in pairs but we be covering more gorud alone."
[21:08] <@BradGM> The HCM gets up with his 2 companions "Sigmar guides you." And he leaves the Scholar without even a second' notice.
[21:08] <@Edgerrin> "ground"
[21:09] <@BradGM> Ulrich gets up from his dazed "Sorry guys they sorta found me and I thought we needed help, but they srota took over..."
[21:09] * +Siluvaine groans and lays her head down on the table. "Not very helpful though."
[21:10] <+Aithorn> ((Do not meddle in the affairs of witchhunters, for they are paranoid and quick to light you on fire."
[21:10] <@BradGM> Ulirch "Well, at least they got part of town covered.."
[21:10] <+Aithorn> ))
[21:11] <+Aithorn> "How shall we pair off then? Who will draw the brown leaf to be alone?"
[21:13] <@BradGM> ((well, everoyne can just roll a die..lowest is alone))
[21:13] <+Alexi> "Hy vill go alone hif none uf hyu vant to."
[21:14] <@Edgerrin> "I don't mind being alone either."
[21:16] <+Siluvaine> "Or we can make one of the parties with three. Its still going to leave so much uncovered."
[21:18] <+Siluvaine> "Maybe I'll get lucky and be able to trace the warpstone if I cross its path."
[21:19] <@BradGM> ((so who's with who?))

[21:29] <@BradGM> Aithron and Alexi; you both use the shadows and knowledge of the city to your adventage; the others are too busy arguing with each other, or simply not the type to be silent...
[21:30] * +Siluvaine blames Ulrich, totally. But on the plus side, they probably look like everyone else in the city...

[21:40] <+Aithorn> "We can't take the chance. Let's see what he knows."
[21:41] <@BradGM> He is about 18 meters from you, going away.

[22:28] <+Siluvaine> "Where are we going now?"
[22:29] <+Aithorn> "He said something about a warehouse, the question is what do we do when we get there. Try to get one person in? or pretend we are refugees from the Altdorf chapter?"
[22:29] <+Siluvaine> "Did they say how many?"
[22:30] <+Alexi> "Six. Vun uf dem is a priest of Der Schneaky Vun."
[22:31] <@Edgerrin> "They aint gonna ta believe a dwarves and two elfs are refugees."
[22:31] * +Siluvaine frowns in annoyance. "Well, maybe one of us can try to get the door open, and then we rush with the rest?"
[22:33] * @Edgerrin nods in agreement to that
[22:33] <+Aithorn> "Very well, who will go first?"
[22:33] <+Aithorn> "Ulrich, or Alexi?"
[22:33] <@BradGM> Ulrich "Well, which warehouse it is?"
[22:33] <+Alexi> "Hy tink hit be better fur me to be furst."

[22:38] * +Siluvaine nods and heads along. "Lets get this thing done before thigns really spiral out of control."
[22:40] <@BradGM> You go to Ostwald. Balor tells are many warehouses in Ostwald, while being quite in lower numbers compared to the market/merchant districts.
[22:41] <@BradGM> Balor "Which one is it?"
[22:41] <+Alexi> "Vell dey vill heff guards outside der place to vatch."
[22:42] * +Siluvaine blinks. "You didn't get a location other than 'warehouse'?"
[22:42] <@BradGM> ((Aithron and Alexi, Better go re-read 22:02 when the cultist told you everything))
[22:43] <+Alexi> "Hit is an abandoned vun dot sits over a smuggling cave."
[22:45] * +Siluvaine turns to Balor, seeing if this might help narrow it down.
[22:45] <@BradGM> Balor "Right."
[22:46] <@BradGM> Balor "So we must search for an abandonned wrehouse with guards posted at the door."
[22:46] <@BradGM> Balor "That sounds a little odd to me.."
[22:47] <+Alexi> "Vell, do hyu know uf any smuggling caves?"
[22:47] <+Aithorn> "He seemed to think he was about to be cursed and possibly eaten. We may have tried a bit too hard to get information."
[22:48] <+Siluvaine> "Pietr might know. Or be helpful."
[22:48] <@Edgerrin> "Pieter be gone when we went looking for em."
[22:49] <+Alexi> "Hy vas not goink to eat him!"
[22:49] <+Aithorn> "He didn't know that."

[22:49] <+Siluvaine> "Maybe he's back by now. Its either that or root through each warehouse."
[22:50] * @Edgerrin nods. 1'then lets head to the tavern."
[22:52] <@BradGM> Balor "Sanest thing in that conversation."
[22:52] <+Aithorn> "We'll need to hurry, the others will be expecting to hear the results of their work."
[22:52] * +Siluvaine shrugs. "Perhaps Aithorn and I should stay here, see if we see anything strange while you go find him."
[22:54] * +Aithorn nods. "I'll save the walk if he's unlikely to be awake at this hour."
[22:54] * @Edgerrin heads to t he Drowned Rat.
[22:57] <@BradGM> Ulrich goes with the Dwarves.

The place is a single story large room with half repaired tables and chairs and a counter doing the wight of the building directly to your right as you enter. Pieter is ther with the two cronies from earlier and another two you don't recognise.
[22:58] * @Edgerrin will walk up to the table.
[22:58] * @Edgerrin looks at the other two to see how they're dressed.
[22:59] <@BradGM> There are only them and the large man with a heavy gruff beard behind the counter.

[23:04] <@Edgerrin> "Only a mopment and i be out of ya hair."
[23:04] <@Edgerrin> "I can wait at another table if ya want."
[23:04] <@BradGM> Pieter "Look if it's the well thing I ain't intrested, ok? It sounds stupid."
[23:04] <@Edgerrin> "Again, I a'int trying to interrput yer business but this is important."
[23:05] * +Aithorn is sitting on a crate, "All these streets look the same to me, what was the name of the Inn again?"

[23:09] <@BradGM> 6 pennies
[23:11] <@BradGM> Man 1 and 2 seems to grill Pieter a little about the interruption, but the tone switch back to something more calm soon enough. You can't really hear what they're saying, but Man2 keeps looking at you three here and ther until about 20 minutes later, they both leave by not keeping their backs at you, thier hands on obviously concealed weapons.
[23:12] * @Edgerrin doesnt care what they saying and drinks his beer
[23:14] <@BradGM> Pieter chats with his cronies before going over to your table, snuffing while he sits down " 'heard you Slayer types were suicidal, but yer'just don't care dontcha?"
[23:14] <@BradGM> Pieter "So what's that question that's so important?
[23:15] <@Edgerrin> "Were looking for a warehouse with a smuggling cave under it in the Ostwald area."
[23:15] <@Edgerrin> "Ya know of any?"

[23:20] <@Edgerrin> "Ere, it htis helps." Edgerrin slides 5 schillings to Pieter
[23:20] <@BradGM> Pieter "Yeah, but what do you mean cult? Like those flagellants nutcases? We ain't likin' them much, too loud.."
[23:21] <@Edgerrin> "Just something I be investigating. Ya dont need ta know more. Better for ya health."
[23:21] <@BradGM> Balor "They be hidin' under an abandonned warehouse they are."

[23:28] <@Edgerrin> "I think ya'd agree, more of them in the city be bad for anyones business."
[23:28] <@BradGM> Pieter "Well, just sayin' if you can save the cave and keep it under wraps..it would be appreciated, y'know."
[23:29] <@Edgerrin> "that not be a problem."
[23:29] <@Edgerrin> "Think of it as a service ta ya. We cleaning it out for your use."
[23:29] <@Edgerrin> "Once we be done the cave will be gone from me memory."
[23:31] <@BradGM> Pieter tells you two 3 warehouses he knows of that *might* be what you're looking for.
