01[20:14] <@BradGM> As the Party discussed what they saw, they were accosted by a well-dressed Halfling and his four thugs. They were politely invited to meet the Halfling's employer to discuss "business". They were taken to a amrble shop, owned
01[20:14] <@BradGM> by a Giovanni di Tello, who explained to them the perculiar situation concerning the Drunken Hen Brewery; the brewer, Basil Tenderfoot, was moonlighting as a poison-maker for the criminal underworld of Nuln.
01[20:14] <@BradGM> Cutting a deal with di Tello,
01[20:14] <@BradGM> the Party accepted to help the Tilean to find Tenderfoot's ledger and his laboratory, in exchange, they will get help from the man and his organisation to retrive the Chalice from (possibly) Roft Vogt without causing too much of a scandal.
01[20:14] <@BradGM> Arriving at the Brewery, the Party searched a little until the Halfling, Mr. Black, arrived with his cronies. The gang split up, Edgerrin and Alexi going upstairs with Mr. Black and Maximo the Tilean, while the others remain on the ground floor.
01[20:14] <@BradGM> Despite some difficulty with the lock, they managed to find the Ledger hidden in the fallen wardrobe, but were less keen to search for the laboratory, until Mr. Black proposed 100 crowns for further help.
01[20:15] <@BradGM> Time is past 6 Pm, the sun will set in less than an hour.
01[20:15] <@BradGM> Also your Fate points are reloaded.
[20:16] <@Edgerrin> ((woo hoo)
01[20:17] <@BradGM> Mr.Black "I'll tell my men downstairs to start searching, feel free to start up here my friends."
[20:18] <@Edgerrin> "alexi, Ya think we shuld check down the 'all?"
01[20:19] <@BradGM> Mr. Black leaves Edgerrin and Alexi with Maximo. Downstairs, you can see Mr. Black coming down "All right, we found the ledger, now you men search downstairs while we look up here."
01[20:20] <@BradGM> Mr. Black turns to the tilean "Papipoui scoza di papoui."
06[20:20] * +Aithorn makes sure the Tileans are not close enough to lunge at him, draws his sword slowly, and starts banging on the large casks behind the bar.
[20:20] <+Aithorn> (( Siluvaine, not sure if you read last week's notes, but we're pretty much in an episode of family guy right now))
01[20:21] <@BradGM> Mr. Black "Try it with less noise, such amateurism."
01[20:21] <@BradGM> Kislevie "Veel git do it bosch."
[20:22] <+Siluvaine> ((heh, yah, saw))
[20:22] <+Aithorn> "You promised nobody would be listening."
01[20:22] <@BradGM> The Tilean looks at Aithorn and shakes his head in dispair and gets to searching around the ground floor and brewery.
06[20:23] * @Edgerrin will check one of the other upstairs rooms
01[20:23] <@BradGM> Mr. Black "No, we promised no Watchmen will be present, that doesn't mean you can destroy everything. Again."
01[20:24] <@BradGM> Those upstairs can roll search+0. Downstairs, search at -30: but you can be helped by either one of the two Kislevites or the Tilean.
06[20:24] * +Aithorn shrugs, "We have time."

[20:27] <+Aithorn> ((and/or Morr))
01[20:29] <@BradGM> Edgerrin and Alexi search upstairs while Maximo clenans his nails with a very small dagger. Aithorn, after banging the casks and sending precious beer spilling on the floor, goes and tap on the big stills, and noticed one seems hollow, as it was empty of liquid, compared to the others.
01[20:29] <@BradGM> ((oh please!))
01[20:29] <@BradGM> ((that's just defeatism- besides you got tons of fate points to burn, so you'll be safe for a while))

06[20:32] * +Aithorn calls over one of the Kislevites, "If you don't want a lot more noise, start taking this apart." indicating the still.
01[20:33] <@BradGM> Kislevite "Vut af uy fund?"

01[20:36] <@BradGM> Mr. Black seems to have taken the small coffer with Tenderfoot's money in it.
01[20:36] <@BradGM> Mr. Black "Well, this was unproductive."
01[20:38] <@BradGM> The Kislevite goes upstairs "Bosch, Hy thik ve got it."
01[20:40] <@BradGM> Mr. Black "What are you sure?"
01[20:40] <@BradGM> Kislevite "Di Elf un gut sumthing."
01[20:41] <@BradGM> Mr. Black "Well, just don't stand there, show me!"
01[20:42] <@BradGM> The Kislevite goes downstairs, Mr. Black in tow. He then takes the Halfling to the still.
01[20:42] <@BradGM> Mr. Black "So my man tells me you found something of interest?"
[20:43] <+Aithorn> "This one sounds different, but you would probably like it taken apart quietly, yes?"
01[20:44] <@BradGM> Mr. Black taps on it for a moment, then puts his ear to it "I'd wager 100 Crowns that there's some switch or level to open up a hidden door to reach the inside."
01[20:44] <@BradGM> ((*lever))
01[20:46] <@BradGM> Mr. Black "Care to wager on this my friend?"
[20:48] <+Aithorn> "That is a dryad bargain; I'm sure to lose. I'll help you find it as agreed, but this halfling used poisons. I'm not sticking my hand anywhere."
[20:49] <+Siluvaine> ((Brb))
06[20:49] * +Aithorn tries twisting or pulling at any pieces of the still without sticking his hand into any dark opening.
01[20:49] <@BradGM> Mr Black "How unfortunate." *He sighs lightly* "Very well, your assistance is appreciated."

01[20:51] <@BradGM> You taps and check on pieces of the still with no avail. Mr. Black, due to his size, moves a pressure gauge and part of the still cracks opens. "Well, what have we here..?"
01[20:54] <@BradGM> He takes out a small sword and pushes the opening open- which sends a small dart flying onto the ground, hamrlessly. Inside are tables, with bottles vials and glass tubing, alongside vials of different products on a small shelf. A large tome is also present on a diminutive pedestral. Everything is on the small size, where only a Hlafling or even a Dwarf could be at ease inside.
01[20:55] <@BradGM> Mr. Black "My my, you people ought to persue a robbing carerr, you do have eyes for discovering hidden treasures."
[20:58] <+Siluvaine> ((Back sorry))
01[20:58] <@BradGM> ((np))
[20:58] <+Aithorn> "And now we were promised payment."
01[21:00] <@BradGM> Mr. Black "Ah yes, the details." *He produces his purse once again and throws it to Aithorn "100 Crowns as payment for your assistance, as promised."
01[21:01] <@BradGM> Mr. Black "Of course, we would ask of you to..forget about all this, for obvious reasons."
[21:03] <+Aithorn> "And you about us..... for obvious reasons."
01[21:06] <@BradGM> Mr. Black "Of course. As for our end of the bargain.." *He points to the roof* "Maximo is already busy staking out the Vogt's residence. We should be able to move in a 2 or 3 days."
06[21:10] * +Aithorn stashes the coin pouch and nods. "Very well, we will pass you a message through Maximo if necessary."
01[21:12] <@BradGM> Mr. Black "Good luck with that, he only speaks Tilean. Visit the Gunner's Rest in Weston, tell the Owner, Erik, that you need to speak to Mr. Black. And do show up before noon, please."
[21:13] <+Aithorn> "As you wish."
01[21:16] <@BradGM> Mr. Black "I believe you know your way out, we shall..gather a few things before leaving."
[21:16] <+Aithorn> ((darn))
[21:16] <+Aithorn> ((Alexi or Edgerrin, anything else you guys want to do here?))
[21:17] <+Alexi> (nope, I'm good)
06[21:19] * +Aithorn starts to make his way out through the bar to the back alley, taking a look to make sure the coast is clear before emerging out into the sunlight.
[21:19] <@Edgerrin> (good)
01[21:20] <@BradGM> You exit the Drunken Hen, back into the discusting trash-filled alley smelling of urine. And you're in the nice part of town. The sun will set in about 30-40 minutes
[21:23] <+Aithorn> ((Sil, are you hanging out at the Black Tower?))
[21:24] <+Siluvaine> ((yeah))
[21:26] <+Aithorn> "Let's head back to the Black Tower, Siluvaine might have heard something by now, and we can divide up our share of the halfling's money (after Ulrich washes it).
[21:26] <+Aithorn> "
01[21:26] <@BradGM> ((*Iron tower))
[21:27] <+Aithorn> ((yeah that))
06[21:31] * +Aithorn starts trying to push through the crowd towards the Iron Tower, trying not to get run over or pickpocketed.
01[21:31] <@BradGM> You return to the Iron Tower, a little after the sun sat away from view, but still brigns some colour in the sky.
06[21:33] * +Aithorn knocks on the door and asks for admittance
01[21:34] <@BradGM> You are taken back to Brother Stefan and Siluvaine, who are busy eating a somewhat decent meal of saussages vegetables and correct wine.
01[21:35] <@BradGM> ((and yes; it is Free.))
[21:35] <+Siluvaine> ((That's what makes it good!))
06[21:37] * +Siluvaine glances up as the group arrives. "Well?"
06[21:38] * +Aithorn sits down at the table, "We met a halfling who seemed to be part of a family... considering we made a profit of 100 crowns, I think we did alright as long as the smell doesn't stay on my clothes."
06[21:39] * +Aithorn puts Mr Black's coin pouch on the table as he tells the story about the crime family and the "standoff" in the Drunken Hen.
01[21:40] <@BradGM> Stefan "The Valentina you say? How intresting..."
[21:40] <+Aithorn> "They say they'll help us if we need it, although how they may be willing to help... I have my doubts. "
06[21:40] * +Siluvaine glances at the coin purse and listens to the story. "Any news on the target?"
[21:43] <+Alexi> "De leedle man's associates are vatching de house. Ve should know more in a few days."
[21:44] <+Siluvaine> "Ah."
01[21:44] <@BradGM> Stefen "It is a risk having those type of people medling with such an Artefact like it was some useless babble."
[21:44] <+Siluvaine> "As long as they just watch..."
[21:46] <+Aithorn> "Fortunately, they don't know why we're watching the Vogts. Unless they are asking behind our backs, but we haven't been that far around in Nuln. But now we have more time on our hands again."
[21:48] <+Siluvaine> "But with the same problem, just with more eyes it seems."
01[21:49] <@BradGM> ((They did agree to steal whatever Rolf had in his possession, just that they don't kniw what it is yet))
[21:50] <+Aithorn> "One thing that never seems to be in short supply, more people with more eyes. What else do we want to do? We should check on the Magnus to see how well guarded it is."
[21:51] <+Aithorn> "What do others think?"
06[21:51] * +Siluvaine nods. "We may also need a way to get to the ball as well."
[21:52] <+Aithorn> "Agreed. We have one invitation, which would allow one plus a valet perhaps. We have a second invitation if Alexi or Ulrich don't mind a fake name for an evening. I doubt we'll be allowed wearing the same clothes that have been all the way from Middenheim."
[21:54] <+Aithorn> "Edgerrin, your hair is like a signal fire. Is it permitted for you to change it?"
[21:55] <@Edgerrin> ((Edge is bald, but has a huge braided beard.))
01[21:55] <@BradGM> Stefan "Yes, not to mention a liberal ammount of perfume for the..perticular odour would not be unwelcomed."
[21:56] <+Aithorn> (( my bad, thought he had the traditional slayer mohawk))
01[21:56] <@BradGM> ((Not to mention the tatoos))
[21:56] <@Edgerrin> ((lots of tattoos on his head
[21:56] <@Edgerrin> "'O as the invitation ta da ball?"

[21:59] <+Aithorn> "I thought Siluvaine had both of them."
[21:59] <+Siluvaine> "Of course, we don't know that Rolf or the chalice will be there, but it seems to be the best place to cause problems."
01[22:00] <@BradGM> ((Well, being a Dwarf, rare to see one turn to Chaos actually: Chaos Dwarf are taboo in dwarven society, so not known for humans, short of the most knowledgeable ones))

01[22:02] <@BradGM> Stefan "And with the Emperor being present, with the Mutant uprising planned for the very next day, chances are someone or something will occur that night."
06[22:04] * +Siluvaine nods. "The problem becomes where. The watch of Rolf might probive that.
[22:04] <+Siluvaine> "
[22:04] <+Aithorn> "The chances are better since we are attending. Excitement follows in our wake, it seems."
01[22:05] <@BradGM> Stefan "I would say the contrary, but what is to certain in these times."
01[22:05] <@BradGM> ((to=so))
[22:07] <+Aithorn> "What components do we need for masks then? Personally, I would not want to stand out too much or to little at such a gathering."
01[22:07] <@BradGM> Stefan "Thought I must admit, I am without ressources to help you in this matter. I am afraid that my knowledge and contacts are rather nonexistant in the domain of fashion and clothing."
01[22:08] <@BradGM> Stefan "but this being Nuln, there are more than one clothing shop for you to visit and buy from."
[22:09] <+Alexi> "Hy hef un nize het, tho."
01[22:09] <@BradGM> Stefan "Yes, at least one of you have an eye for fashion. There's a start."
01[22:10] <@BradGM> ((BRB, taking drapes outta dryer))
[22:10] <+Siluvaine> "We should be prepared anyway."
[22:13] <+Siluvaine> "The problem might be finances unfortunately."

01[22:13] <@BradGM> Stefan "..."
01[22:14] <@BradGM> Stefan "Yes, indeed, and not something I usually request as well."
[22:14] <+Aithorn> "The night is young, if we took a walk now, we could get a good look at how Nuln dresses itself."

[22:22] <+Siluvaine> "But they would be put to good use."
01[22:22] <@BradGM> Brother Stefan sighs in defeat "Just remember that this is the Ordo's moeny when you're shopping- and please, try to keep it..reasonably priced.."

[22:27] <+Siluvaine> "That will hardly work for the rest of us."
01[22:28] <@BradGM> Ulrich "Well, maybe you and your elven husband Aithorn, with your Kislevite bodyguard?"
[22:30] <+Siluvaine> "Perhaps. It seems popular."
[22:31] <+Aithorn> "Perhaps. If Alexi can keep a straight face."
01[22:31] <@BradGM> Ulrich "I don't know about you Edgerrin, but maybe you can be a servant? but I don't know how a Dwarf would feel being a servants to elves?"
[22:35] <+Siluvaine> ((heh))
[22:36] <+Siluvaine> "It might be possible."
01[22:38] <@BradGM> Stefan "At any rate, I would need to know the price before I can liberate the funds."
[22:39] <@Edgerrin> "Bah, I be a bodyguard or I go drinki' by meself."
01[22:39] <@BradGM> ((heh, well he is fallen so bodyguarding elves..))
[22:40] <+Siluvaine> "And look in on the other servants and keep track of them as well."
[22:42] <+Siluvaine> "I believe I know where to get mine set up atleast."
01[22:42] <@BradGM> Stefan "Yes, a couple, with thier two bodyguards, this may work, and not be as demanding on the Crowns as well."
01[22:43] <@BradGM> Stefan "And with four days before the Ball, there ought to be little in terms of extra to get the clothing done."
06[22:44] * +Siluvaine nods. "That's why I Believe I will go to the store tonight."
01[22:45] <@BradGM> Stefan "Then make haste, before they close for the night and join in the festivities."
06[22:46] * +Siluvaine nods and finishes her dinner and seeing who wants to go with her.
[22:48] <@Edgerrin> "I be willin' ta go fer a walk."

[23:05] <@Edgerrin> "Most liely want ta know wht we be up ta."
[23:05] <+Siluvaine> "Ah."
06[23:06] * @Edgerrin casually loks around for the tail.

01[23:09] <@BradGM> All those Long-shanks..a Dwarf can't see a thing past 10 feet in those Human Cities!
01[23:09] <@BradGM> The Tilean seems to be following you guys siluvaine, but keeping his distance and well plending with the crowd- he's no amateur.
[23:10] <+Siluvaine> "He seems experienced and keeping his distance. Atleast it isn't the other shadow."
[23:11] <@Edgerrin> 'This tail 'aint be a 'alfling be he?"
06[23:11] * +Siluvaine shakes her head. "A Man."
01[23:12] <@BradGM> By the description siluvaine cane make of him, he seems to be the other Tilean (apart from Maximo) that was with Mr. Black.
[23:13] <@Edgerrin> "Yeah that 'alfling we met acted like a tilean with 'is bepoo beppos and hand waving"
01[23:13] <@BradGM> ((hahaha))
[23:14] <+Aithorn> "Could still be the halfling, his ego was big enough to be man sized."
06[23:14] * +Siluvaine nods and continues on through the night.
[23:14] <@Edgerrin> "I think 'e even had a moustache."
01[23:16] <@BradGM> You reach the Sower's Row, where the clothings store and sowing shops are located.
[23:17] <+Aithorn> "If he follows us inside, we'll know, but for now there's not much we can do about it."
06[23:17] * +Siluvaine nods and looks around for Samanga's, and if not them,someone specializing in Elven clothing.
01[23:19] <@BradGM> you can track down Samanga's with ease- of course, Aithorn might not be the best welcomed there, juding by the scandalous way he exited last time.
06[23:20] * +Aithorn will try Samanga's to see what would be available, but if the reception (or prices) are too bad, then he'll try the second elven shop.
06[23:21] * +Siluvaine heads into Samanga's. She didn't fuck up last time...

01[23:22] <@BradGM> Samanga seems to be out of the store tonight: instead is a non-script looking clerk "Welcome to Samanga's! How can I be of service?"
[23:23] <+Aithorn> ((woo!))
[23:23] <+Siluvaine> "Ah yes. I will need a dress for the ball done."
06[23:24] * +Aithorn steps up next to Sil, "And as her consort, I will of course need to dress to match."
01[23:26] <@BradGM> Clerk "Yes, this can be arranged, we have a vast assortments of styles to choose from. I suppose it is for the Countess' masked Ball?"
06[23:26] * +Siluvaine nods. "Of course."
[23:26] <+Aithorn> !roll 6d10
[23:26] <@Diepool> Aithorn: 48
[23:28] <+Aithorn> "What sort of masks are normally worn to an event such as this?"
01[23:28] <@BradGM> Clerk "Ah, we also have a selection of masks, fresh off the boat from Ulthuan via Marienburg."
01[23:29] <@BradGM> Clerk "Numerous, basic full coloured ones, to those representing animals, or even tilean ones; rather dull, but quite artistic."
06[23:30] * +Siluvaine nods as she starts looking for what's available.
06[23:31] * +Aithorn starts combing through a rack of clothing, not entirely sure how some of it is supposed to be worn.
01[23:31] <@BradGM> The Clerk takes you to the corner of the shop where the clothing and masks are located. Prices are a bit steep, the cheapest ones starts at 50 Crowns, and goes up to 500, even 700 Crowns for the more outrageous stuff.
01[23:32] <@BradGM> The Clerk also tells you that outrageousness is rather en vogue at those type of parties.
[23:33] <+Siluvaine> ((good think I conned Brother Stefan...))
[23:33] <+Aithorn> ((yes))
06[23:34] * +Siluvaine looks through the selections. "And this will be fitted and adjusted and made unique in time?"
01[23:34] <@BradGM> Masks ranges from 1 Crown for a basic full colour mask covering only the eyes to 150 Crowns for something more elaborate (ni this case, a gold woven mask representing a horse
01[23:34] <@BradGM> Clerk "Yes, with your measurements, and a deposit, our tailor will have it ready in 2 days, giving you time to try it and if need be, last minute adjustments."
06[23:36] * +Siluvaine nods. "Of course."
[23:36] <+Aithorn> "That sounds like plenty of time."
01[23:37] <@BradGM> Clerk "One may never know how an inseam can be not as confortable when they puts their pantaloons on, sir."
06[23:39] * +Siluvaine nods and chooses something quite scandalous in red lace/leather/silk and a matching elaborate (but not the most elaborate) mask.
06[23:39] * @Edgerrin quietly whistles to himslef while the nobels shop. Every once in a while he glances out the door to see if anyone if casing them.

01[23:46] <@BradGM> ((Also, as it's a bit late for some...ok if we cut it here? That'll give Edgerring and Alexi time to see what they,ll buy?))

[23:47] <+Aithorn> body guards, but still have to not get thrown out becaause you lack a jacket/tie if you know what i mean

01[23:48] <@BradGM> *End of Session***
01[20:14] <@BradGM> As the Party discussed what they saw, they were accosted by a well-dressed Halfling and his four thugs. They were politely invited to meet the Halfling's employer to discuss "business". They were taken to a amrble shop, owned
01[20:14] <@BradGM> by a Giovanni di Tello, who explained to them the perculiar situation concerning the Drunken Hen Brewery; the brewer, Basil Tenderfoot, was moonlighting as a poison-maker for the criminal underworld of Nuln.
01[20:14] <@BradGM> Cutting a deal with di Tello,
01[20:14] <@BradGM> the Party accepted to help the Tilean to find Tenderfoot's ledger and his laboratory, in exchange, they will get help from the man and his organisation to retrive the Chalice from (possibly) Roft Vogt without causing too much of a scandal.
01[20:14] <@BradGM> Arriving at the Brewery, the Party searched a little until the Halfling, Mr. Black, arrived with his cronies. The gang split up, Edgerrin and Alexi going upstairs with Mr. Black and Maximo the Tilean, while the others remain on the ground floor.
01[20:14] <@BradGM> Despite some difficulty with the lock, they managed to find the Ledger hidden in the fallen wardrobe, but were less keen to search for the laboratory, until Mr. Black proposed 100 crowns for further help.
01[20:15] <@BradGM> Time is past 6 Pm, the sun will set in less than an hour.
01[20:15] <@BradGM> Also your Fate points are reloaded.
[20:16] <@Edgerrin> ((woo hoo)
01[20:17] <@BradGM> Mr.Black "I'll tell my men downstairs to start searching, feel free to start up here my friends."
[20:18] <@Edgerrin> "alexi, Ya think we shuld check down the 'all?"
01[20:19] <@BradGM> Mr. Black leaves Edgerrin and Alexi with Maximo. Downstairs, you can see Mr. Black coming down "All right, we found the ledger, now you men search downstairs while we look up here."
01[20:20] <@BradGM> Mr. Black turns to the tilean "Papipoui scoza di papoui."
06[20:20] * +Aithorn makes sure the Tileans are not close enough to lunge at him, draws his sword slowly, and starts banging on the large casks behind the bar.
[20:20] <+Aithorn> (( Siluvaine, not sure if you read last week's notes, but we're pretty much in an episode of family guy right now))
01[20:21] <@BradGM> Mr. Black "Try it with less noise, such amateurism."
01[20:21] <@BradGM> Kislevie "Veel git do it bosch."
[20:22] <+Siluvaine> ((heh, yah, saw))
[20:22] <+Aithorn> "You promised nobody would be listening."
01[20:22] <@BradGM> The Tilean looks at Aithorn and shakes his head in dispair and gets to searching around the ground floor and brewery.
06[20:23] * @Edgerrin will check one of the other upstairs rooms
01[20:23] <@BradGM> Mr. Black "No, we promised no Watchmen will be present, that doesn't mean you can destroy everything. Again."
01[20:24] <@BradGM> Those upstairs can roll search+0. Downstairs, search at -30: but you can be helped by either one of the two Kislevites or the Tilean.

[20:27] <+Aithorn> ((and/or Morr))
01[20:29] <@BradGM> Edgerrin and Alexi search upstairs while Maximo clenans his nails with a very small dagger. Aithorn, after banging the casks and sending precious beer spilling on the floor, goes and tap on the big stills, and noticed one seems hollow, as it was empty of liquid, compared to the others.
01[20:29] <@BradGM> ((oh please!))
01[20:29] <@BradGM> ((that's just defeatism- besides you got tons of fate points to burn, so you'll be safe for a while))

01[20:30] <@BradGM> ((See Aithorn, nothing to it! Burning fate points is what the cool kids do))
06[20:32] * +Aithorn calls over one of the Kislevites, "If you don't want a lot more noise, start taking this apart." indicating the still.
01[20:33] <@BradGM> Kislevite "Vut af uy fund?"

01[20:36] <@BradGM> Mr. Black seems to have taken the small coffer with Tenderfoot's money in it.
01[20:36] <@BradGM> Mr. Black "Well, this was unproductive."
01[20:38] <@BradGM> The Kislevite goes upstairs "Bosch, Hy thik ve got it."
01[20:40] <@BradGM> Mr. Black "What are you sure?"
01[20:40] <@BradGM> Kislevite "Di Elf un gut sumthing."
01[20:41] <@BradGM> Mr. Black "Well, just don't stand there, show me!"
01[20:42] <@BradGM> The Kislevite goes downstairs, Mr. Black in tow. He then takes the Halfling to the still.
01[20:42] <@BradGM> Mr. Black "So my man tells me you found something of interest?"
[20:43] <+Aithorn> "This one sounds different, but you would probably like it taken apart quietly, yes?"
01[20:44] <@BradGM> Mr. Black taps on it for a moment, then puts his ear to it "I'd wager 100 Crowns that there's some switch or level to open up a hidden door to reach the inside."
01[20:44] <@BradGM> ((*lever))
01[20:46] <@BradGM> Mr. Black "Care to wager on this my friend?"
[20:48] <+Aithorn> "That is a dryad bargain; I'm sure to lose. I'll help you find it as agreed, but this halfling used poisons. I'm not sticking my hand anywhere."
[20:49] <+Siluvaine> ((Brb))
06[20:49] * +Aithorn tries twisting or pulling at any pieces of the still without sticking his hand into any dark opening.
01[20:49] <@BradGM> Mr Black "How unfortunate." *He sighs lightly* "Very well, your assistance is appreciated."

01[20:51] <@BradGM> You taps and check on pieces of the still with no avail. Mr. Black, due to his size, moves a pressure gauge and part of the still cracks opens. "Well, what have we here..?"
01[20:54] <@BradGM> He takes out a small sword and pushes the opening open- which sends a small dart flying onto the ground, hamrlessly. Inside are tables, with bottles vials and glass tubing, alongside vials of different products on a small shelf. A large tome is also present on a diminutive pedestral. Everything is on the small size, where only a Hlafling or even a Dwarf could be at ease inside.
01[20:55] <@BradGM> Mr. Black "My my, you people ought to persue a robbing carerr, you do have eyes for discovering hidden treasures."
[20:58] <+Siluvaine> ((Back sorry))
01[20:58] <@BradGM> ((np))
[20:58] <+Aithorn> "And now we were promised payment."
01[21:00] <@BradGM> Mr. Black "Ah yes, the details." *He produces his purse once again and throws it to Aithorn "100 Crowns as payment for your assistance, as promised."
01[21:01] <@BradGM> Mr. Black "Of course, we would ask of you to..forget about all this, for obvious reasons."
[21:03] <+Aithorn> "And you about us..... for obvious reasons."
01[21:06] <@BradGM> Mr. Black "Of course. As for our end of the bargain.." *He points to the roof* "Maximo is already busy staking out the Vogt's residence. We should be able to move in a 2 or 3 days."
06[21:10] * +Aithorn stashes the coin pouch and nods. "Very well, we will pass you a message through Maximo if necessary."
01[21:12] <@BradGM> Mr. Black "Good luck with that, he only speaks Tilean. Visit the Gunner's Rest in Weston, tell the Owner, Erik, that you need to speak to Mr. Black. And do show up before noon, please."
[21:13] <+Aithorn> "As you wish."
01[21:16] <@BradGM> Mr. Black "I believe you know your way out, we shall..gather a few things before leaving."

[21:17] <+Alexi> (nope, I'm good)
06[21:19] * +Aithorn starts to make his way out through the bar to the back alley, taking a look to make sure the coast is clear before emerging out into the sunlight.
[21:19] <@Edgerrin> (good)
01[21:20] <@BradGM> You exit the Drunken Hen, back into the discusting trash-filled alley smelling of urine. And you're in the nice part of town. The sun will set in about 30-40 minutes
[21:23] <+Aithorn> ((Sil, are you hanging out at the Black Tower?))
[21:24] <+Siluvaine> ((yeah))
[21:26] <+Aithorn> "Let's head back to the Black Tower, Siluvaine might have heard something by now, and we can divide up our share of the halfling's money (after Ulrich washes it).
[21:26] <+Aithorn> "
01[21:26] <@BradGM> ((*Iron tower))
[21:27] <+Aithorn> ((yeah that))
06[21:31] * +Aithorn starts trying to push through the crowd towards the Iron Tower, trying not to get run over or pickpocketed.
01[21:31] <@BradGM> You return to the Iron Tower, a little after the sun sat away from view, but still brigns some colour in the sky.
06[21:33] * +Aithorn knocks on the door and asks for admittance
01[21:34] <@BradGM> You are taken back to Brother Stefan and Siluvaine, who are busy eating a somewhat decent meal of saussages vegetables and correct wine.
01[21:35] <@BradGM> ((and yes; it is Free.))
[21:35] <+Siluvaine> ((That's what makes it good!))
06[21:37] * +Siluvaine glances up as the group arrives. "Well?"
06[21:38] * +Aithorn sits down at the table, "We met a halfling who seemed to be part of a family... considering we made a profit of 100 crowns, I think we did alright as long as the smell doesn't stay on my clothes."
06[21:39] * +Aithorn puts Mr Black's coin pouch on the table as he tells the story about the crime family and the "standoff" in the Drunken Hen.
01[21:40] <@BradGM> Stefan "The Valentina you say? How intresting..."
[21:40] <+Aithorn> "They say they'll help us if we need it, although how they may be willing to help... I have my doubts. "
06[21:40] * +Siluvaine glances at the coin purse and listens to the story. "Any news on the target?"
[21:43] <+Alexi> "De leedle man's associates are vatching de house. Ve should know more in a few days."
[21:44] <+Siluvaine> "Ah."
01[21:44] <@BradGM> Stefen "It is a risk having those type of people medling with such an Artefact like it was some useless babble."
[21:44] <+Siluvaine> "As long as they just watch..."
[21:46] <+Aithorn> "Fortunately, they don't know why we're watching the Vogts. Unless they are asking behind our backs, but we haven't been that far around in Nuln. But now we have more time on our hands again."
[21:48] <+Siluvaine> "But with the same problem, just with more eyes it seems."
01[21:49] <@BradGM> ((They did agree to steal whatever Rolf had in his possession, just that they don't kniw what it is yet))
[21:50] <+Aithorn> "One thing that never seems to be in short supply, more people with more eyes. What else do we want to do? We should check on the Magnus to see how well guarded it is."
[21:51] <+Aithorn> "What do others think?"
06[21:51] * +Siluvaine nods. "We may also need a way to get to the ball as well."
[21:52] <+Aithorn> "Agreed. We have one invitation, which would allow one plus a valet perhaps. We have a second invitation if Alexi or Ulrich don't mind a fake name for an evening. I doubt we'll be allowed wearing the same clothes that have been all the way from Middenheim."
[21:54] <+Aithorn> "Edgerrin, your hair is like a signal fire. Is it permitted for you to change it?"
[21:55] <@Edgerrin> ((Edge is bald, but has a huge braided beard.))
01[21:55] <@BradGM> Stefan "Yes, not to mention a liberal ammount of perfume for the..perticular odour would not be unwelcomed."
[21:56] <+Aithorn> (( my bad, thought he had the traditional slayer mohawk))
01[21:56] <@BradGM> ((Not to mention the tatoos))

[22:04] <+Aithorn> "The chances are better since we are attending. Excitement follows in our wake, it seems."

01[22:07] <@BradGM> Stefan "Thought I must admit, I am without ressources to help you in this matter. I am afraid that my knowledge and contacts are rather nonexistant in the domain of fashion and clothing."
01[22:08] <@BradGM> Stefan "but this being Nuln, there are more than one clothing shop for you to visit and buy from."
[22:09] <+Alexi> "Hy hef un nize het, tho."
01[22:09] <@BradGM> Stefan "Yes, at least one of you have an eye for fashion. There's a start."

01[22:20] <@BradGM> Stefan realizes that he set himself up for that one "I can, but I have to explain the expenses to my superiors in the Ordo Fidelis- evening gowns and attires are not your usual apparels when one is a Templar Knight."
[22:22] <+Siluvaine> "But they would be put to good use."
01[22:22] <@BradGM> Brother Stefan sighs in defeat "Just remember that this is the Ordo's moeny when you're shopping- and please, try to keep it..reasonably priced.."

01[22:27] <@BradGM> Ulrich "And I'm certain I cana always manage to enter with the Knights of the white Wolf and the Priest, I don't they they won't be invited to a big event like that."
[22:27] <+Siluvaine> "That will hardly work for the rest of us."
01[22:28] <@BradGM> Ulrich "Well, maybe you and your elven husband Aithorn, with your Kislevite bodyguard?"
[22:30] <+Siluvaine> "Perhaps. It seems popular."
[22:31] <+Aithorn> "Perhaps. If Alexi can keep a straight face."

[22:35] <+Siluvaine> ((heh))
[22:36] <+Siluvaine> "It might be possible."
01[22:38] <@BradGM> Stefan "At any rate, I would need to know the price before I can liberate the funds."
[22:39] <@Edgerrin> "Bah, I be a bodyguard or I go drinki' by meself."
01[22:39] <@BradGM> ((heh, well he is fallen so bodyguarding elves..))
[22:40] <+Siluvaine> "And look in on the other servants and keep track of them as well."
[22:42] <+Siluvaine> "I believe I know where to get mine set up atleast."
01[22:42] <@BradGM> Stefan "Yes, a couple, with thier two bodyguards, this may work, and not be as demanding on the Crowns as well."
01[22:43] <@BradGM> Stefan "And with four days before the Ball, there ought to be little in terms of extra to get the clothing done."
06[22:44] * +Siluvaine nods. "That's why I Believe I will go to the store tonight."
01[22:45] <@BradGM> Stefan "Then make haste, before they close for the night and join in the festivities."
06[22:46] * +Siluvaine nods and finishes her dinner and seeing who wants to go with her.
[22:48] <@Edgerrin> "I be willin' ta go fer a walk."
06[22:48] * +Aithorn stands and makes a semi-serious attempt at a deep imperial bow, "Then 'Lord Arveinen' must also go see what can be found."
01[22:48] <@BradGM> Ulrich split the purse of Crowns- keeping Siluvaine away from it: you each get 16 Crowns, 6 Shillings and 16 pennies.

06[23:04] * +Siluvaine glances down at Edgerrin. "We've got a tail perhaps. One of your Tilean friends?"
[23:05] <@Edgerrin> "If 'e be tilean, than most likely."
[23:05] <@Edgerrin> "Most liely want ta know wht we be up ta."
[23:05] <+Siluvaine> "Ah."

01[23:09] <@BradGM> The Tilean seems to be following you guys siluvaine, but keeping his distance and well plending with the crowd- he's no amateur.
[23:10] <+Siluvaine> "He seems experienced and keeping his distance. Atleast it isn't the other shadow."
[23:11] <@Edgerrin> 'This tail 'aint be a 'alfling be he?"
06[23:11] * +Siluvaine shakes her head. "A Man."
01[23:12] <@BradGM> By the description siluvaine cane make of him, he seems to be the other Tilean (apart from Maximo) that was with Mr. Black.
[23:13] <@Edgerrin> "Yeah that 'alfling we met acted like a tilean with 'is bepoo beppos and hand waving"
01[23:13] <@BradGM> ((hahaha))
[23:14] <+Aithorn> "Could still be the halfling, his ego was big enough to be man sized."
06[23:14] * +Siluvaine nods and continues on through the night.
[23:14] <@Edgerrin> "I think 'e even had a moustache."
01[23:16] <@BradGM> You reach the Sower's Row, where the clothings store and sowing shops are located.
[23:17] <+Aithorn> "If he follows us inside, we'll know, but for now there's not much we can do about it."
06[23:17] * +Siluvaine nods and looks around for Samanga's, and if not them,someone specializing in Elven clothing.
01[23:19] <@BradGM> you can track down Samanga's with ease- of course, Aithorn might not be the best welcomed there, juding by the scandalous way he exited last time.
06[23:20] * +Aithorn will try Samanga's to see what would be available, but if the reception (or prices) are too bad, then he'll try the second elven shop.

[23:23] <+Aithorn> ((woo!))
[23:23] <+Siluvaine> "Ah yes. I will need a dress for the ball done."
06[23:24] * +Aithorn steps up next to Sil, "And as her consort, I will of course need to dress to match."
01[23:26] <@BradGM> Clerk "Yes, this can be arranged, we have a vast assortments of styles to choose from. I suppose it is for the Countess' masked Ball?"
06[23:26] * +Siluvaine nods. "Of course."

[23:28] <+Aithorn> "What sort of masks are normally worn to an event such as this?"
01[23:28] <@BradGM> Clerk "Ah, we also have a selection of masks, fresh off the boat from Ulthuan via Marienburg."
01[23:29] <@BradGM> Clerk "Numerous, basic full coloured ones, to those representing animals, or even tilean ones; rather dull, but quite artistic."
06[23:30] * +Siluvaine nods as she starts looking for what's available.
06[23:31] * +Aithorn starts combing through a rack of clothing, not entirely sure how some of it is supposed to be worn.
01[23:31] <@BradGM> The Clerk takes you to the corner of the shop where the clothing and masks are located. Prices are a bit steep, the cheapest ones starts at 50 Crowns, and goes up to 500, even 700 Crowns for the more outrageous stuff.
01[23:32] <@BradGM> The Clerk also tells you that outrageousness is rather en vogue at those type of parties.
[23:33] <+Siluvaine> ((good think I conned Brother Stefan...))
[23:33] <+Aithorn> ((yes))
06[23:34] * +Siluvaine looks through the selections. "And this will be fitted and adjusted and made unique in time?"
01[23:34] <@BradGM> Masks ranges from 1 Crown for a basic full colour mask covering only the eyes to 150 Crowns for something more elaborate (ni this case, a gold woven mask representing a horse
01[23:34] <@BradGM> Clerk "Yes, with your measurements, and a deposit, our tailor will have it ready in 2 days, giving you time to try it and if need be, last minute adjustments."
06[23:36] * +Siluvaine nods. "Of course."
[23:36] <+Aithorn> "That sounds like plenty of time."
01[23:37] <@BradGM> Clerk "One may never know how an inseam can be not as confortable when they puts their pantaloons on, sir."
06[23:39] * +Siluvaine nods and chooses something quite scandalous in red lace/leather/silk and a matching elaborate (but not the most elaborate) mask.
