01[20:17] <@BradGM> The Party delivered Brother Stefan's letter to Caputulary Ross, who was a rather bad host, taking the letter and promptly excuse the messengers back to the streets. Deciding to begin observing Roft Vogt's movement, they returned to the Vogt's ancestral home, and found a nigh-perfect holdout to spy on the house; a closed brewery, which the Halfling owner died during the War in the North. Edgerrin managed to pick the lock with hease, and saw that not only they were not the first to enter illegaly, but that the previous visitors were looking for something.
01[20:17] <@BradGM> Furthermore, the locks were of high quality, and the numerous traps, one of which Aithorn activated by accident, showed that there was more to the brewer that just sweet beers and ales. Unfortunately, the Slayer's rough searching broke a few of the diminutive furniture, which brought the attention of the locals and the Watch, despite the Dwarf's assurance that he was attacked by the inanimate objects.
01[20:17] <@BradGM> Deciding the Brewery was too hot, the Party split into rounds to spy on the house, with Aithorn and Edgerrin taking the first round. After a couple of hours stalking the Vogt residence, the duo spotted Roft Vogt entering his father's home, as the next pair soon arrive to relieve them of their watch.
01[20:17] <@BradGM> Time is about 4 PM-ish
01[20:19] <@BradGM> Those with 6th sense, can roll WP.
01[20:20] <@BradGM> ((whici is..almost everyone.))
[20:20] <+Aithorn> "So, now the real wait begins. An ale says he won't come out until after nightfall."
[20:20] <+Alexi> !dhroll 41
[20:20] <@Diepool> Alexi: 49 Failure by 0 degrees!

[20:21] <@Diepool> Edgerrin: 88 Failure by 4 degrees!
[20:21] <@Edgerrin> ((were we watching back at the brewery?))
01[20:22] <@BradGM> ((no you were in another spot, street level))
[20:22] <+Aithorn> ((I believe we abandoned the brewery once the watch was coming in, I think we were in an alley across the street))
01[20:22] <@BradGM> ((yeah since it was too hot for the moment, at elast until nighttime shows up))
06[20:24] * +Aithorn gets up to empty the pebbles out of his hood on the ground and starts tossing the pebbles into it from the other side of the alley.
01[20:25] <@BradGM> Alexi/Ulrich shows up for the next watch, with Siluvaine staying back at the Iron Tower, in case an answer arrives from Caputulary Ross.
06[20:26] * +Aithorn updates Alexi and Ulrich on the situation (that Rolf has returned to the residence) and where they will be waiting. "Do either of you want a meat pie while you wait?"
[20:27] <+Alexi> "No, Hy had fud before hy arrived."
01[20:27] <@BradGM> As you're exchanging words, you're approached by a well-dressed Halling, flanked by a pair of Kislevites, judging by thier fancy hat and Axes similar to Alexi's, and 2 forgein-looking man, with dark curly hair and each armed with a long dagger of forgein apperance as well.
01[20:28] <@BradGM> Halfing "'Afternoon folks, having a goo day?"
01[20:28] <@BradGM> ((*good))
06[20:30] * +Aithorn nods and holds his handful of stones, "The sun is still out, care for a wager on a toss?"
06[20:31] * @Edgerrin nods. "'allo, what can we do ya for?"
01[20:31] <@BradGM> Halfling "Perhaps later. For now, I'm here to extent an invitation from my employer for a..talk. He's in Handelbezirk, so h'es quite close, and quite eager to meet you."
01[20:32] <@BradGM> He extends his hand "Please, do follow me and my associates."
[20:32] <@Edgerrin> "What's the business?"
01[20:33] <@BradGM> Halfling "He's quite curious to ask about *your* business actually, but I'm just the messenger, he'd prefer to discuss things face to face."
06[20:34] * @Edgerrin shoots a look to each of the others in the group
06[20:34] * +Ulrich shrugs
[20:35] <+Ulrich> "and who are you exactly?"
[20:35] <+Aithorn> "We have time enough. A scene in the streets would be... bad."
01[20:36] <@BradGM> Halfing "Oh, I'm just a friendly chap, a...delivery boy, you see. I deliver Messages."
[20:36] <+Alexi> "Hy tink ve might vant to go vit dem. Doesare sum nize hets."
[20:36] <+Alexi> (Does are, even)
01[20:36] <@BradGM> Halfling "Quite bad indeed my Elven friend, quite bad."
01[20:37] <@BradGM> THe two Kislevite gives a nods of approval to you Alexi, despite keeping up the tough act.
01[20:39] <@BradGM> The Halfing, or more, his four toughs, escort you out of the Quarter and past into the inner wall to Handelbezirk. The Area are mostly shops, warehouses and other high-end stores and shop, the mercantille heart of Nuln. You can see that the locals move around the Hafling and his cronies as well.
01[20:41] <@BradGM> He goes into an alley near a Marbre shop of a certain Gioavanni Di Tello. There he knocks a series of knocks to a side door before some other forgeiner opens up the door and let you all inside "Pipara poupoui papara poupui?"
[20:41] <+Ulrich> (lol thats funny)
01[20:41] <@BradGM> Halfking "Zingato poupui da poupoui."
01[20:42] <@BradGM> You're lead inside, the cronies keeping close to you.
01[20:42] <@BradGM> They're talking a weird language that you never heard before
01[20:43] <@BradGM> (( for reference https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQA07B0X6jU ))
[20:45] <@Edgerrin> ((too funny. good episode of FG)
[20:46] <+Aithorn> "So what kind of shop was that we walked past? I haven't seen such a thing in my travels."
01[20:46] <@BradGM> You are inside a small courtyard where numerous piles of marbres awaits here and there, some half worked on as well. There are half dozen people, moving closed crates and barrels, but they do not look like workers, more like criminals. You're taken to a small building in the back, like a storage, where you're taken to a good looking man with a well shaped nose and forgein traits. Ah, my-a friends, welcome, welcome. I hope'a that Mr. Black was not-a too..impoilite, si?"
[20:46] <+Alexi> "Hy hef met verse."
01[20:48] <@BradGM> The man exchange a few words in the language, which you deduce is Tilean, before the Halfling leave the storage. The four guards remains, keeping at a safe distance.
01[20:49] <@BradGM> Man "Good-a, good-a. I am'a sad'a that your lovely compagion is not'a here. But'a it is what'a is."
[20:53] <+Aithorn> "I wouldn't want the job of having to calm her down, but you would bear the brunt of that, so I guess it is what it is."
[20:53] <+Aithorn> ((what exactly is a marbre? ))
01[20:54] <@BradGM> ((it's Marble in French, my bad))
01[20:54] <@BradGM> ((who uputs an l where a R should be?..I mean apart fomr Asians))
[20:54] <+Aithorn> ((i guessed but figured i'd ask))
01[20:54] <@BradGM> The Man politely laughs "Now'a to business..I'a represent a group'a of legitimized's business men'a, that's'a got some interest's in'a the Drunken'a Hen Brwery."
01[20:55] <@BradGM> ((hahaha))
[20:58] <+Aithorn> "I can say that we have no interest in buying the business nor opening a competing brewery in this area."
06[20:59] * +Ulrich nods
[20:59] <+Ulrich> "no interest at all (remembering the piss poor beer I found)
01[21:00] <@BradGM> Man "Yes'a, but'a few of my..friends'a saw you get in and made quite'a big mess, even'a got'a the Watch'a involved."
[21:04] <@Edgerrin> "yer point?"
[21:06] <+Aithorn> "The Watch wouldn't care unless there was something to find, and we didn't see anything worthwhile."
01[21:06] <@BradGM> Man "Direct'a, good'a, good'a. I'a would like'a what you people'a where doing there'a and what you found'a inside."
[21:06] <@Edgerrin> "How bout we trade information."
01[21:07] <@BradGM> Man "I'a don't know what'a could trade'a, me, being'a humble marble merchant'a."
01[21:08] <@BradGM> Needless to say, the Man is full of it, but is trying his best to keep up apperances of being ignorant of everything.
[21:09] <@Edgerrin> "Well since we be humble servants of the church of Sigmar and Ulrich it don't like like we can do business."

[21:13] <+Alexi> "Vait, vait, vait. Mebbe he does know sumtink effen if he dun tink he does." Alexi looks at the man. "Hy dun mean to insult, but ve are looking fur sometink dot no businessman vould vant to knowinkly be involved vit."

01[21:17] <@BradGM> The Man suddenly shakes his hand in the air, cutting short the laughter. "You'a Kislevites'a big fellows'a but you'a got some mind'a sometime'a.
[21:17] <+Alexi> "Ve hide it under de het."
01[21:18] <@BradGM> Man "We can'a always'a..make'a confession'a so it's'a secret that cant'a be broken, si?"

01[21:20] <@BradGM> The Man looks around him, and moves a big to lean on a block of marble. He waves at you in a "go ahead" motion, before crossing his arms and looking at you, ready to discuss.
06[21:22] * +Alexi nods at Edge
01[21:23] <@BradGM> ((go ahead, I'm gonna put the sheets in the dryer))

[21:24] <@Edgerrin> "What's yer question, ya ask me one then me or my pals ask ye one."
06[21:27] * +Aithorn taps Edgerrin on the shoulder and whispers in Elvish, "What do we do when they realize we don't have anything to trade?"
01[21:27] <@BradGM> Man "Very well'a. Tenderfoot'a was'a not just'a a brewer. He also did a different kind'a brewing more powerful'a stuff."
01[21:28] <@BradGM> Man "The kind'a you don't get up from'a."

[21:32] <@Edgerrin> 'I can tell ya the room was trapped so 'e mighta been hiding something else we didn't find."
[21:32] <@Edgerrin> 'and his traps used poison."
[21:32] <@Edgerrin> "I was able ta bypass them"
01[21:33] <@BradGM> Man "The locked'a room'a eh? is'a the door'a still open?" As you ask your question instead, he waits a moment but then grins." "The Vogt'a? Well, the family's a not'a too old, but'a respected."

01[21:37] <@BradGM> Man "His'a son, Rolf, is'a War Hero too, like'a the First'a one, he went'a North and defeated'a the Chaos."
[21:38] <@Edgerrin> "Ya mentioned the tavern owner 'ad a lab. We didn't find nuthin' like that. There may be a secret room or floor there."
01[21:39] <@BradGM> Man "He spends'a his time surrounded by ladiess in the nicest'a clubs in'a town too."
01[21:41] <@BradGM> Man "What'a do you want'a with him'a?"

01[21:51] <@BradGM> He scratches his chin, thinking. "One'a hour. Dont'a be late."
[21:51] <@Edgerrin> "Twouldn't think of it."
06[21:51] * +Ulrich frowns
[21:52] <@Edgerrin> "If the place be hot what do ya want ta use as a signal ta skidaddle?"
01[21:53] <@BradGM> Man "Oh, it'a will quite calm'a, dont'a you worry."
06[21:54] * @Edgerrin winks. 'Gotcha"
[21:55] <@Edgerrin> "well than, until then, shall we?" 6 Edge heads to the door.
01[21:57] <@BradGM> outside the storage, Mr. Black is waiting. The four thugs are also follwing you outside."
[21:58] <@Edgerrin> "where ta lads?" 6 Edge says to the group.
01[21:59] <@BradGM> You get escorted out to the alley in which you came in, the thugs staying sinde the Marble shop's court walls.
[22:00] <+Aithorn> "So here we are, again. He doesn't seem like a man who gets refused very often."
[22:02] <@Edgerrin> "Ya typical marble dealing. He be full of puff when he surrounding by 'is goons. A crown says he squirms like a snake when he be alone."
[22:02] <@Edgerrin> *dealer
[22:03] <@Edgerrin> "Do we 'ead ta the tavern now or we need ta do something else first?"
01[22:06] <@BradGM> It's about 15-20 minutes walk to the brewery from here.
01[22:06] <@BradGM> And it's still daylight outisde, about 5-ish
[22:07] <+Aithorn> "Nothing else to do, let's go somewhere where we can talk in private."
[22:08] <@Edgerrin> "Let's 'ead ta the tavern and see if we can find a place ta slip into on the way."
06[22:08] * +Ulrich nods
[22:08] <+Ulrich> "i do not like dealign with these men at all.
[22:08] <+Ulrich> "
[22:09] <+Ulrich> "at best they are mercinaries, at worst they are criminal scum. neither is a promicing prospect."
01[22:10] <@BradGM> You cross a few clubs and taverns along the way. While the clubs are members only, the taverns, while a bit nosey, are accepting (almost) everyone.
[22:11] <+Aithorn> "If we point fingers at him, we'll likely find the crossbows of the Watch pointed back at us. They won't listen to us, because we are wanderers or because they are paid, but they won't."
[22:11] <+Alexi> "Mebbe, but ve hef more impawtent concerns."
[22:12] <@Edgerrin> "I don't care much bout what'es looking fer. figured 'e was connected and might be able ta spill some beans about Roft. What did any of ye get bout what he said abpout the family?"
[22:15] <+Aithorn> "Doesn't seem much like the younger cares for the father, he spends his money on young women instead of regaining the family name."
[22:18] <@Edgerrin> "so what be the plan? dunno how many thugs 'e be sending ta make sure we behave but I've faced too many Daemons ta be scared of flesh and blood"
[22:19] <+Alexi> "Vy not agree? Ve could use de help before tings get verse."
[22:20] <@Edgerrin> "Never said i wouldn't 'elp em as long as the terms are right. could care less bout marble dealer politics just wanna make sure we find the chalice."
01[22:21] <@BradGM> ((Marble dealer politics hahaha!))
[22:22] <@Edgerrin> "Ulrich me freind ya gonna be alright with this?"
[22:23] <+Aithorn> "There is something I don't trust about this human, I think there is more than he's telling. Something we may want to find for ourselves, and we have a little time. But the chalice comes first."
[22:23] <@Edgerrin> "...and besides Alexi, if things go bad ya might get two nice new 'ats."
[22:24] <+Alexi> "Dose hats mean dey iz goot strong varriors. Hit vould be a tough fight."
06[22:24] * @Edgerrin shrugs
[22:25] <@Edgerrin> "to the abandoned tavern?"
[22:25] <+Ulrich> "I will have to be, it seems. I think i will go pray for this meeting though. I do not trust my temper."
[22:26] <+Ulrich> "hacking a man apart in a tavern for being a heretic would not be the best for any of us."
01[22:26] <@BradGM> Going back to the Drunken Hen Brewery, you must pass the inner Walls again! 1 copper/leg tax!
01[22:26] <@BradGM> ((I love me some tax!))
01[22:26] <@BradGM> ((That is, when I'm the one collecting))
[22:27] <@Edgerrin> ((Edgerrin makes a note of it so he can bill the marble dealer as expenses))
[22:27] <+Ulrich> " he is a foreigner, and not in the good way like you lot. I would not trust any deal made, that is my only advice. He is an oathbreaker im sure, and you know what that means dwarf."
01[22:28] <@BradGM> ((Stinking I-talian! I mean T-leans))
[22:30] <@Edgerrin> "Never said I trusted 'em just said I t'aint scared of him. I think he shuld be more worried bout a crazy preist, an elf dont dont miss with his bow, a kisvlits ability he is well aware of and well me."
06[22:30] * +Ulrich lifts an eyebrow "crazy?"
06[22:31] * +Ulrich smiles
[22:31] <@Edgerrin> "yeah ye stole me title."
[22:31] <@Edgerrin> 'Ever thought of being a slayer?"
06[22:31] * +Ulrich laughs " a method to my madness then."
[22:31] <+Ulrich> "maybe I am..just for another god? eh?"
01[22:31] <@BradGM> You hang about near the Brewery, as to not attratch too much attention, you do not notice any Watchmen.
06[22:31] * @Edgerrin smirks and nods
06[22:32] * +Aithorn nods. "So we will wear our sheep's clothing for a little while longer."
06[22:32] * @Edgerrin goes around back
06[22:32] * @Edgerrin checks the back door
01[22:32] <@BradGM> Still locked.
06[22:33] * @Edgerrin tries to unlock it
01[22:33] <@BradGM> Roll it+0

01[22:34] <@BradGM> You unlock the back door. It seems you're a bit early.
06[22:34] * @Edgerrin walks in cautiously
06[22:34] * @Edgerrin lets his eyes adjust to the dim light
06[22:35] * @Edgerrin has his hammer at the ready
01[22:35] <@BradGM> Nothing dangerous, nor anyone, seems apparent inside.
[22:35] <@Edgerrin> "what do ya guys make of the dealers comment about a lab. Think it be a trap door ta a cellar?"
06[22:35] * +Aithorn walks in, a bit more quietly this time and checks for anyone hiding on the stairway above.
[22:36] <+Alexi> "Hit vould be logical."
[22:36] <+Aithorn> "Or an attic, the fumes wouldn't go up to the main room."
06[22:37] * @Edgerrin a little lower 1" It could be in the trapped closet and i missed it too."
01[22:38] <@BradGM> You saw no attic access, as most the building is the brewery proper and the half floor where Tenderfoot has his living quarters.
01[22:40] <@BradGM> You can roll search for a trap door.

01[22:42] <@BradGM> You spend some time searching. Aithorn, you're certain that there is no trap door present.
01[22:42] <@BradGM> The floor is solid, sound solid. There is no basement or secret trap door leading lower.
[22:43] <+Aithorn> "There doesn't seem to be anything here below us."
[22:44] <+Ulrich> "we can't go banging holes in the floor either"
[22:44] <+Alexi> "Den mebbe de attic?"
[22:45] <+Aithorn> "Let's wait until someone won't walk in on us. 'Twould be awkward."
06[22:45] * @Edgerrin nods
01[22:47] <@BradGM> You wait about 5, 10 minutes, as you hear someone working the lock on the back door.
01[22:47] <@BradGM> Enter Mr. Black, the Halfling, with the four thugs.
06[22:47] * @Edgerrin dusks behind something hmamer ready

06[22:49] * @Edgerrin steps out
[22:49] <@Edgerrin> "'allo to ya."
01[22:49] <@BradGM> ((Oh no, you waited while they came, he din't took 5-10 min to unlock the door.))
01[22:50] <@BradGM> Mr. Black "Hello again. So, Have youa greed to the terms?"
[22:50] <@Edgerrin> "well we agreed to 'elp ya if ya can continue ta 'elp us."
[22:51] <@Edgerrin> "Nuthin' be free I be sure ya understand that."
01[22:53] <@BradGM> Mr. Black "Of course, of course. Now being here, shall we proceed to the locked room so we can confirm the ledger's contents?"
[22:54] <@Edgerrin> "Who be we? You and me or the lot of us?'
01[22:54] <@BradGM> Mr Black "Myself, you, and one of my associates?"
[22:55] <@Edgerrin> "and one of mine"
01[22:55] <@BradGM> Mr. Black "Agreed."
01[22:56] <@BradGM> Mr. Black signals one of the Tilean to follow him.
06[22:56] * @Edgerrin looks at the party. 1"'o wants ta go upstairs."
06[22:56] * +Alexi shrugs and will follow
06[22:56] * +Ulrich nods
[22:57] <+Ulrich> "we'll keep an eye er two out down here."
06[22:57] * @Edgerrin heads up with Alexi
01[22:59] <@BradGM> You get back to the locked door with a rather complicted lock. roll lockpicking at -20, +10 for trapfinding.
[22:59] <@Edgerrin> ((is it the same lock i picked before?))
01[23:01] <@BradGM> ((yes the one with the piece of picklock in it.))
[23:01] <@Edgerrin> ((I took that out i thought))
06[23:02] * +Aithorn waits at the foot of the stairs, trying to look serious.
01[23:03] <@BradGM> ((yes Edge you did))
[23:03] <@Edgerrin> !dhroll 34
[23:03] <@Diepool> Edgerrin: 75 Failure by 4 degrees!
01[23:03] <@BradGM> The kislevites and the remaining Tilean keep their poses, somewhat more convincing it thier role, aithron.
01[23:03] <@BradGM> You work a couple of minutes, until Mr. Black starts to loose patience "Are you certain that you opened this door?"
[23:05] <@Edgerrin> "Don't piss me off half pint."
06[23:06] * @Edgerrin picks up his hammer
01[23:07] <@BradGM> Mr. Black raises his arm "Ahem. Let me try first, at least."
[23:07] <@Edgerrin> 'go for it."
01[23:08] <@BradGM> Mr. Blacks takes out a small, fine leather roll, and begins working the lock with his rather fine looking kit...that's missing a pick as well.
01[23:08] <@BradGM> !dhroll 33
[23:08] <@Diepool> BradGM: 1 Success by 3 degrees!
[23:08] <+Ulrich> (wow the little fucker is good at picking locks)
01[23:08] <@BradGM> He works the lock with a skilled hand and unlocks it "Do not feel to bad my friend; I knew what to do observing your method."
01[23:09] <@BradGM> ((Well, he rolled a 100 last time he worked on it..))
[23:09] <@Edgerrin> "I don't feel bad since it was me that fished out yer mssing pick the first time i was here."
[23:10] <@Edgerrin> "Yer ledger is in there. 6 points to the desk
01[23:10] <@BradGM> Mr. Black "Ah, yes, I..noticed it was not present."
01[23:11] <@BradGM> He stops and seems to observe the secretary and wardrobe that's fallen over. "Hm. thank you.
01[23:11] <@BradGM> !dhroll 22 search
[23:11] <@Diepool> BradGM: 60 Failure by 3 degrees!
[23:12] <@Edgerrin> "I disarmed the trap. Unless it kin reset itself ya should be able ta just open it."
01[23:12] <@BradGM> He searches around, but only find the order ledger you found "No, that is not it. hey Maximo, pipara poupoui, yeah?"
[23:13] <@Edgerrin> "like i said i didnt read it."
01[23:13] <@BradGM> The Tilean, with a rather marking lack of entousiasm, begin looking in the mess.
01[23:13] <@BradGM> !dhroll 27
[23:13] <@Diepool> BradGM: 54 Failure by 2 degrees!
01[23:13] <@BradGM> He seems to not havign any luck as well.
06[23:14] * @Edgerrin looks searches the wall where the wardrobe was.
01[23:14] <@BradGM> Mr. Black "Well, do be a friend and help us search this mess. Plaase."
[23:14] <@Edgerrin> !dhroll 38
[23:14] <@Diepool> Edgerrin: 77 Failure by 3 degrees!
01[23:14] <@BradGM> Being a dwarf, you can see the wall is but a wall.
[23:15] <@Edgerrin> "Yer other ledger might be in the wardrobe. It was trapped too,"
01[23:16] <@BradGM> Mr. Black "Well, get your man in here, and let's all raise it." *He talks to Maximo the tilean and he uncaringly, moves to get ready to get the wardrobe up, or at least more vertical.
01[23:16] <@BradGM> ((by 'we' he means 'everyone but me'))
[23:17] <+Alexi> "Vell, hokay. Vould be easier to use Axe to open de bek, but hokay."
01[23:18] <@BradGM> You all get into it, except Mr. Black, and get the wardrobe back up, leaning on the wall precariously, but standing nonetheless.
01[23:18] <@BradGM> Downstairs, you can hear the wood rubbing sound followed by a slight 'bang' as the wardrobe got back up
06[23:20] * +Aithorn looks up at the banging sound, "I thought the halfling knew what he was looking for..."
01[23:21] <@BradGM> The Tilean downstairs moves near the stairs, husly asking "Hey papoui di delapoupoui?"
01[23:21] <@BradGM> Maximo "Di padapadoui zi relatalo padapoui."
01[23:21] <@BradGM> Tilean "Pipapoui?"
01[23:22] <@BradGM> Maximo "Pipalouipoui!"
01[23:22] <@BradGM> Tilean "Aye!"
01[23:22] <@BradGM> Mr. Black sighs "Silencio, papapoui bapooui pa!"
01[23:23] <@BradGM> The Tilean downstaris just throws in hands in the air, and goes back leaning on the small bar.
01[23:23] <@BradGM> The Halfling begins, cautiously, check the wardobe.
01[23:23] <@BradGM> !dhroll 32
[23:23] <@Diepool> BradGM: 24 Success by 0 degrees!
06[23:24] * +Ulrich looks around the first floor
01[23:25] <@BradGM> He passes his hands on the inner sides and back, then seems to stop. He takes a small steel dagger and jimmy a piece of plank away. Inside the false back is a small black leather book. Mr. Black flips the pages over "Well, Tenderfoot was always a cautious one."
01[23:25] <@BradGM> ((as in search Ulrich?))
01[23:25] <@BradGM> ((If so, search-30))
06[23:25] * +Aithorn takes an apple out of his backpack and begins eating it, while muttering things about the halfling's questionable parentage and the size of his "marbles" in elvish...
01[23:26] <@BradGM> The Tilean seems bored, while the Kislevites keep an eye on Aithorn and Ulrich, being the eternal professionnal.
01[23:27] <@BradGM> Mr.Black "Well,w e have the eldger, now to find this laboratory of his and be done with this place."
06[23:27] * @Edgerrin keeps an eye on the tilean still holding his axe.
[23:27] <+Alexi> "Ve vos tinking dot vould be in a hidden attic somevere?"
[23:30] <@Edgerrin> *hammer
01[23:30] <@BradGM> ((The tileean got a stellio dagger actually: the Kislevites are the ones with two-handed axes))
[23:30] <@Edgerrin> ((no i meant i was holding my hammer))
01[23:30] <@BradGM> Mr.Black "This place has no attic nor basement. We believe it hidden in a hollow wall or a secret room we didn't found yet.
01[23:31] <@BradGM> ((ah ok))
[23:33] <@Edgerrin> "well we never found a lab never knew about it either. I told ya where ta find the traps and ye found the ledger. the lab be beyond our paygrade."
01[23:33] <@BradGM> Mr. Black "It may well be somewhere in here, or anywhere else inside for that matter."
06[23:34] * +Aithorn puts the apple core in a belt pouch, and draws a whetstone and his dagger (in a non-threatening manner, something Aithorn seems to be good at)
01[23:35] <@BradGM> Mr. Black "Well, I was instructed by my employer to ask for your assistance in this matter."
[23:36] <@Edgerrin> "We gave ya assistance. If you want more there better be something fer us."
01[23:37] <@BradGM> Mr.Black "In case of refusal, I was allowed to propose a purse of 100 Crowns, when the laboraory was found."
[23:37] <+Aithorn> ((https://quipvid.com/watch/t7qvoyxi))
06[23:37] * @Edgerrin looks at Aithorn.
[23:37] <@Edgerrin> (Alexi))
01[23:37] <@BradGM> Mr.Black takes out a heavy purse form under his clothing, to further validate his point.
06[23:38] * @Edgerrin looks at Alexi
[23:38] <+Alexi> "Dis iz a beeg city, leedle man. Hyu dun spect us to wander all over to look, do hyu?"
01[23:39] <@BradGM> Mr.Black "We know Tenderfoot worked from his brewery, 100 Crowns to find soemwhere in *one* building, 'Im almost giving money away here, friend."
06[23:39] * @Edgerrin walks down the hall to check the other rooms.
[23:40] <+Alexi> "Hokay, but ve need help vit our own problems too. Dot vos de deal."
[23:41] <@Edgerrin> "alexi, let's seach the upstairs, we dont find nuthin' we move on to our business. Agreed?"

01[23:42] <@BradGM> Mr. Black "Yes, I'm certain your companions and my men can search downstairs during that time.

[23:44] <@Diepool> Ulrich: 23 Failure by 2 degrees!
01[23:44] <@BradGM> *End of Session***
01[20:17] <@BradGM> The Party delivered Brother Stefan's letter to Caputulary Ross, who was a rather bad host, taking the letter and promptly excuse the messengers back to the streets. Deciding to begin observing Roft Vogt's movement, they returned to the Vogt's ancestral home, and found a nigh-perfect holdout to spy on the house; a closed brewery, which the Halfling owner died during the War in the North. Edgerrin managed to pick the lock with hease, and saw that not only they were not the first to enter illegaly, but that the previous visitors were looking for something.
01[20:17] <@BradGM> Furthermore, the locks were of high quality, and the numerous traps, one of which Aithorn activated by accident, showed that there was more to the brewer that just sweet beers and ales. Unfortunately, the Slayer's rough searching broke a few of the diminutive furniture, which brought the attention of the locals and the Watch, despite the Dwarf's assurance that he was attacked by the inanimate objects.
01[20:17] <@BradGM> Deciding the Brewery was too hot, the Party split into rounds to spy on the house, with Aithorn and Edgerrin taking the first round. After a couple of hours stalking the Vogt residence, the duo spotted Roft Vogt entering his father's home, as the next pair soon arrive to relieve them of their watch.
01[20:17] <@BradGM> Time is about 4 PM-ish
01[20:19] <@BradGM> Those with 6th sense, can roll WP.
01[20:20] <@BradGM> ((whici is..almost everyone.))
[20:20] <+Aithorn> "So, now the real wait begins. An ale says he won't come out until after nightfall."
[20:20] <+Alexi> !dhroll 41
[20:20] <@Diepool> Alexi: 49 Failure by 0 degrees!
[20:20] <+Alexi> bah

[20:21] <@Diepool> Edgerrin: 88 Failure by 4 degrees!
[20:21] <@Edgerrin> ((were we watching back at the brewery?))
01[20:22] <@BradGM> ((no you were in another spot, street level))
[20:22] <+Aithorn> ((I believe we abandoned the brewery once the watch was coming in, I think we were in an alley across the street))
01[20:22] <@BradGM> ((yeah since it was too hot for the moment, at elast until nighttime shows up))
06[20:24] * +Aithorn gets up to empty the pebbles out of his hood on the ground and starts tossing the pebbles into it from the other side of the alley.
01[20:25] <@BradGM> Alexi/Ulrich shows up for the next watch, with Siluvaine staying back at the Iron Tower, in case an answer arrives from Caputulary Ross.
06[20:26] * +Aithorn updates Alexi and Ulrich on the situation (that Rolf has returned to the residence) and where they will be waiting. "Do either of you want a meat pie while you wait?"
[20:27] <+Alexi> "No, Hy had fud before hy arrived."
01[20:27] <@BradGM> As you're exchanging words, you're approached by a well-dressed Halling, flanked by a pair of Kislevites, judging by thier fancy hat and Axes similar to Alexi's, and 2 forgein-looking man, with dark curly hair and each armed with a long dagger of forgein apperance as well.
01[20:28] <@BradGM> Halfing "'Afternoon folks, having a goo day?"
01[20:28] <@BradGM> ((*good))
06[20:30] * +Aithorn nods and holds his handful of stones, "The sun is still out, care for a wager on a toss?"
06[20:31] * @Edgerrin nods. "'allo, what can we do ya for?"
01[20:31] <@BradGM> Halfling "Perhaps later. For now, I'm here to extent an invitation from my employer for a..talk. He's in Handelbezirk, so h'es quite close, and quite eager to meet you."
01[20:32] <@BradGM> He extends his hand "Please, do follow me and my associates."
[20:32] <@Edgerrin> "What's the business?"
01[20:33] <@BradGM> Halfling "He's quite curious to ask about *your* business actually, but I'm just the messenger, he'd prefer to discuss things face to face."
06[20:34] * @Edgerrin shoots a look to each of the others in the group
06[20:34] * +Ulrich shrugs
[20:35] <+Ulrich> "and who are you exactly?"
[20:35] <+Aithorn> "We have time enough. A scene in the streets would be... bad."
01[20:36] <@BradGM> Halfing "Oh, I'm just a friendly chap, a...delivery boy, you see. I deliver Messages."
[20:36] <+Alexi> "Hy tink ve might vant to go vit dem. Doesare sum nize hets."
[20:36] <+Alexi> (Does are, even)
01[20:36] <@BradGM> Halfling "Quite bad indeed my Elven friend, quite bad."
01[20:37] <@BradGM> THe two Kislevite gives a nods of approval to you Alexi, despite keeping up the tough act.
01[20:39] <@BradGM> The Halfing, or more, his four toughs, escort you out of the Quarter and past into the inner wall to Handelbezirk. The Area are mostly shops, warehouses and other high-end stores and shop, the mercantille heart of Nuln. You can see that the locals move around the Hafling and his cronies as well.
01[20:41] <@BradGM> He goes into an alley near a Marbre shop of a certain Gioavanni Di Tello. There he knocks a series of knocks to a side door before some other forgeiner opens up the door and let you all inside "Pipara poupoui papara poupui?"
[20:41] <+Ulrich> (lol thats funny)
01[20:41] <@BradGM> Halfking "Zingato poupui da poupoui."
01[20:42] <@BradGM> You're lead inside, the cronies keeping close to you.
01[20:42] <@BradGM> They're talking a weird language that you never heard before
01[20:43] <@BradGM> (( for reference https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQA07B0X6jU ))
[20:45] <@Edgerrin> ((too funny. good episode of FG)
[20:46] <+Aithorn> "So what kind of shop was that we walked past? I haven't seen such a thing in my travels."
01[20:46] <@BradGM> You are inside a small courtyard where numerous piles of marbres awaits here and there, some half worked on as well. There are half dozen people, moving closed crates and barrels, but they do not look like workers, more like criminals. You're taken to a small building in the back, like a storage, where you're taken to a good looking man with a well shaped nose and forgein traits. Ah, my-a friends, welcome, welcome. I hope'a that Mr. Black was not-a too..impoilite, si?"
[20:46] <+Alexi> "Hy hef met verse."
01[20:48] <@BradGM> The man exchange a few words in the language, which you deduce is Tilean, before the Halfling leave the storage. The four guards remains, keeping at a safe distance.
01[20:49] <@BradGM> Man "Good-a, good-a. I am'a sad'a that your lovely compagion is not'a here. But'a it is what'a is."
[20:53] <+Aithorn> "I wouldn't want the job of having to calm her down, but you would bear the brunt of that, so I guess it is what it is."
[20:53] <+Aithorn> ((what exactly is a marbre? ))
01[20:54] <@BradGM> ((it's Marble in French, my bad))
01[20:54] <@BradGM> ((who uputs an l where a R should be?..I mean apart fomr Asians))
[20:54] <+Aithorn> ((i guessed but figured i'd ask))
01[20:54] <@BradGM> The Man politely laughs "Now'a to business..I'a represent a group'a of legitimized's business men'a, that's'a got some interest's in'a the Drunken'a Hen Brwery."
01[20:55] <@BradGM> ((hahaha))
[20:58] <+Aithorn> "I can say that we have no interest in buying the business nor opening a competing brewery in this area."
06[20:59] * +Ulrich nods
[20:59] <+Ulrich> "no interest at all (remembering the piss poor beer I found)
01[21:00] <@BradGM> Man "Yes'a, but'a few of my..friends'a saw you get in and made quite'a big mess, even'a got'a the Watch'a involved."
[21:04] <@Edgerrin> "yer point?"
[21:06] <+Aithorn> "The Watch wouldn't care unless there was something to find, and we didn't see anything worthwhile."
01[21:06] <@BradGM> Man "Direct'a, good'a, good'a. I'a would like'a what you people'a where doing there'a and what you found'a inside."
[21:06] <@Edgerrin> "How bout we trade information."
01[21:07] <@BradGM> Man "I'a don't know what'a could trade'a, me, being'a humble marble merchant'a."
01[21:08] <@BradGM> Needless to say, the Man is full of it, but is trying his best to keep up apperances of being ignorant of everything.
[21:09] <@Edgerrin> "Well since we be humble servants of the church of Sigmar and Ulrich it don't like like we can do business."

01[21:34] <@BradGM> Man "It'a came to be with'a Magnus the Pious, The Old Vogt'a having' helped'a Him in'a the war effort.
01[21:35] <@BradGM> Man "Ranulf was'a in charge of'a project to build'a big'a canon, but he took'a too much time, and the countessa's cousin took'a his job of Marshall'a"
01[21:35] <@BradGM> !dhroll 53
[21:35] <@Diepool> BradGM: 51 Success by 0 degrees!
01[21:36] <@BradGM> Man "The Cousin'a is taking all of Ranulf's work'a for him too. Such'a disgrace. *he spins slightly with a "Patooey" sound* Not'a working and having'a all the merit'a. As'a marble seller, this'a disgrace."
01[21:37] <@BradGM> Man "His'a son, Rolf, is'a War Hero too, like'a the First'a one, he went'a North and defeated'a the Chaos."
[21:38] <@Edgerrin> "Ya mentioned the tavern owner 'ad a lab. We didn't find nuthin' like that. There may be a secret room or floor there."
01[21:39] <@BradGM> Man "He spends'a his time surrounded by ladiess in the nicest'a clubs in'a town too."
01[21:41] <@BradGM> Man "What'a do you want'a with him'a?"
[21:42] <@Edgerrin> "We be asked ta find sumthing by the church and he might 'ave it."
01[21:45] <@BradGM> Man "Well'a we can always..get things'a from people'a..Maybe you help'a us get in'a room, and maybe we can get'a your thing'a without'a scandal?"
01[21:46] <@BradGM> Man "Help'a us find what'a we want, and we help'a you get waht'a *you* want?"
06[21:48] * @Edgerrin nods. "Me thinks we might be able ta reach an agreement. Let me and me freinds talk about it and we can come ta terms. Say meet back at the tavern in an hour?'
01[21:51] <@BradGM> He scratches his chin, thinking. "One'a hour. Dont'a be late."
[21:51] <@Edgerrin> "Twouldn't think of it."
06[21:51] * +Ulrich frowns
[21:52] <@Edgerrin> "If the place be hot what do ya want ta use as a signal ta skidaddle?"
01[21:53] <@BradGM> Man "Oh, it'a will quite calm'a, dont'a you worry."
06[21:54] * @Edgerrin winks. 'Gotcha"
[21:55] <@Edgerrin> "well than, until then, shall we?" 6 Edge heads to the door.
01[21:57] <@BradGM> outside the storage, Mr. Black is waiting. The four thugs are also follwing you outside."
[21:58] <@Edgerrin> "where ta lads?" 6 Edge says to the group.
01[21:59] <@BradGM> You get escorted out to the alley in which you came in, the thugs staying sinde the Marble shop's court walls.
[22:00] <+Aithorn> "So here we are, again. He doesn't seem like a man who gets refused very often."
[22:02] <@Edgerrin> "Ya typical marble dealing. He be full of puff when he surrounding by 'is goons. A crown says he squirms like a snake when he be alone."
[22:02] <@Edgerrin> *dealer
[22:03] <@Edgerrin> "Do we 'ead ta the tavern now or we need ta do something else first?"
01[22:06] <@BradGM> It's about 15-20 minutes walk to the brewery from here.
01[22:06] <@BradGM> And it's still daylight outisde, about 5-ish
[22:07] <+Aithorn> "Nothing else to do, let's go somewhere where we can talk in private."
[22:08] <@Edgerrin> "Let's 'ead ta the tavern and see if we can find a place ta slip into on the way."
06[22:08] * +Ulrich nods
[22:08] <+Ulrich> "i do not like dealign with these men at all.
[22:08] <+Ulrich> "
[22:09] <+Ulrich> "at best they are mercinaries, at worst they are criminal scum. neither is a promicing prospect."
01[22:10] <@BradGM> You cross a few clubs and taverns along the way. While the clubs are members only, the taverns, while a bit nosey, are accepting (almost) everyone.
[22:11] <+Aithorn> "If we point fingers at him, we'll likely find the crossbows of the Watch pointed back at us. They won't listen to us, because we are wanderers or because they are paid, but they won't."
[22:11] <+Alexi> "Mebbe, but ve hef more impawtent concerns."
[22:12] <@Edgerrin> "I don't care much bout what'es looking fer. figured 'e was connected and might be able ta spill some beans about Roft. What did any of ye get bout what he said abpout the family?"
[22:15] <+Aithorn> "Doesn't seem much like the younger cares for the father, he spends his money on young women instead of regaining the family name."
[22:18] <@Edgerrin> "so what be the plan? dunno how many thugs 'e be sending ta make sure we behave but I've faced too many Daemons ta be scared of flesh and blood"
[22:19] <+Alexi> "Vy not agree? Ve could use de help before tings get verse."
[22:20] <@Edgerrin> "Never said i wouldn't 'elp em as long as the terms are right. could care less bout marble dealer politics just wanna make sure we find the chalice."
01[22:21] <@BradGM> ((Marble dealer politics hahaha!))
[22:22] <@Edgerrin> "Ulrich me freind ya gonna be alright with this?"
[22:23] <+Aithorn> "There is something I don't trust about this human, I think there is more than he's telling. Something we may want to find for ourselves, and we have a little time. But the chalice comes first."
[22:23] <@Edgerrin> "...and besides Alexi, if things go bad ya might get two nice new 'ats."
[22:24] <+Alexi> "Dose hats mean dey iz goot strong varriors. Hit vould be a tough fight."
06[22:24] * @Edgerrin shrugs
[22:25] <@Edgerrin> "to the abandoned tavern?"
[22:25] <+Ulrich> "I will have to be, it seems. I think i will go pray for this meeting though. I do not trust my temper."
[22:26] <+Ulrich> "hacking a man apart in a tavern for being a heretic would not be the best for any of us."
01[22:26] <@BradGM> Going back to the Drunken Hen Brewery, you must pass the inner Walls again! 1 copper/leg tax!
01[22:26] <@BradGM> ((I love me some tax!))
01[22:26] <@BradGM> ((That is, when I'm the one collecting))
[22:27] <@Edgerrin> ((Edgerrin makes a note of it so he can bill the marble dealer as expenses))
[22:27] <+Ulrich> " he is a foreigner, and not in the good way like you lot. I would not trust any deal made, that is my only advice. He is an oathbreaker im sure, and you know what that means dwarf."
01[22:28] <@BradGM> ((Stinking I-talian! I mean T-leans))
[22:30] <@Edgerrin> "Never said I trusted 'em just said I t'aint scared of him. I think he shuld be more worried bout a crazy preist, an elf dont dont miss with his bow, a kisvlits ability he is well aware of and well me."
06[22:30] * +Ulrich lifts an eyebrow "crazy?"
06[22:31] * +Ulrich smiles
[22:31] <@Edgerrin> "yeah ye stole me title."
[22:31] <@Edgerrin> 'Ever thought of being a slayer?"
06[22:31] * +Ulrich laughs " a method to my madness then."
[22:31] <+Ulrich> "maybe I am..just for another god? eh?"
01[22:31] <@BradGM> You hang about near the Brewery, as to not attratch too much attention, you do not notice any Watchmen.
06[22:31] * @Edgerrin smirks and nods
06[22:32] * +Aithorn nods. "So we will wear our sheep's clothing for a little while longer."
06[22:32] * @Edgerrin goes around back
06[22:32] * @Edgerrin checks the back door
01[22:32] <@BradGM> Still locked.
06[22:33] * @Edgerrin tries to unlock it
01[22:33] <@BradGM> Roll it+0
01[22:33] <@BradGM> ((oh, +10 for trapfinding of course.
[22:33] <@Edgerrin> !dhroll 54
[22:33] <@Diepool> Edgerrin: 46 Success by 0 degrees!
01[22:34] <@BradGM> You unlock the back door. It seems you're a bit early.
06[22:34] * @Edgerrin walks in cautiously
06[22:34] * @Edgerrin lets his eyes adjust to the dim light
06[22:35] * @Edgerrin has his hammer at the ready
01[22:35] <@BradGM> Nothing dangerous, nor anyone, seems apparent inside.
[22:35] <@Edgerrin> "what do ya guys make of the dealers comment about a lab. Think it be a trap door ta a cellar?"
06[22:35] * +Aithorn walks in, a bit more quietly this time and checks for anyone hiding on the stairway above.
[22:36] <+Alexi> "Hit vould be logical."
[22:36] <+Aithorn> "Or an attic, the fumes wouldn't go up to the main room."
06[22:37] * @Edgerrin a little lower 1" It could be in the trapped closet and i missed it too."
01[22:38] <@BradGM> You saw no attic access, as most the building is the brewery proper and the half floor where Tenderfoot has his living quarters.
01[22:40] <@BradGM> You can roll search for a trap door.
[22:40] <@Edgerrin> !dhroll 38
[22:40] <@Diepool> Edgerrin: 94 Failure by 5 degrees!
[22:41] <+Aithorn> !dhroll 51
[22:41] <@Diepool> Aithorn: 18 Success by 3 degrees!
01[22:42] <@BradGM> You spend some time searching. Aithorn, you're certain that there is no trap door present.
01[22:42] <@BradGM> The floor is solid, sound solid. There is no basement or secret trap door leading lower.
[22:43] <+Aithorn> "There doesn't seem to be anything here below us."
[22:44] <+Ulrich> "we can't go banging holes in the floor either"
[22:44] <+Alexi> "Den mebbe de attic?"
[22:45] <+Aithorn> "Let's wait until someone won't walk in on us. 'Twould be awkward."
06[22:45] * @Edgerrin nods
01[22:47] <@BradGM> You wait about 5, 10 minutes, as you hear someone working the lock on the back door.
01[22:47] <@BradGM> Enter Mr. Black, the Halfling, with the four thugs.
06[22:47] * @Edgerrin dusks behind something hmamer ready
[22:48] <@Edgerrin> (man they suck if they took 10 minutes)
06[22:49] * @Edgerrin steps out
[22:49] <@Edgerrin> "'allo to ya."
01[22:49] <@BradGM> ((Oh no, you waited while they came, he din't took 5-10 min to unlock the door.))
01[22:50] <@BradGM> Mr. Black "Hello again. So, Have youa greed to the terms?"
[22:50] <@Edgerrin> "well we agreed to 'elp ya if ya can continue ta 'elp us."
[22:51] <@Edgerrin> "Nuthin' be free I be sure ya understand that."
01[22:53] <@BradGM> Mr. Black "Of course, of course. Now being here, shall we proceed to the locked room so we can confirm the ledger's contents?"
[22:54] <@Edgerrin> "Who be we? You and me or the lot of us?'
01[22:54] <@BradGM> Mr Black "Myself, you, and one of my associates?"
[22:55] <@Edgerrin> "and one of mine"
01[22:55] <@BradGM> Mr. Black "Agreed."
01[22:56] <@BradGM> Mr. Black signals one of the Tilean to follow him.
06[22:56] * @Edgerrin looks at the party. 1"'o wants ta go upstairs."
06[22:56] * +Alexi shrugs and will follow
06[22:56] * +Ulrich nods
[22:57] <+Ulrich> "we'll keep an eye er two out down here."
06[22:57] * @Edgerrin heads up with Alexi
01[22:59] <@BradGM> You get back to the locked door with a rather complicted lock. roll lockpicking at -20, +10 for trapfinding.
[22:59] <@Edgerrin> ((is it the same lock i picked before?))
01[23:01] <@BradGM> ((yes the one with the piece of picklock in it.))
[23:01] <@Edgerrin> ((I took that out i thought))
06[23:02] * +Aithorn waits at the foot of the stairs, trying to look serious.
01[23:03] <@BradGM> ((yes Edge you did))
[23:03] <@Edgerrin> !dhroll 34
[23:03] <@Diepool> Edgerrin: 75 Failure by 4 degrees!
01[23:03] <@BradGM> The kislevites and the remaining Tilean keep their poses, somewhat more convincing it thier role, aithron.
01[23:03] <@BradGM> You work a couple of minutes, until Mr. Black starts to loose patience "Are you certain that you opened this door?"
[23:05] <@Edgerrin> "Don't piss me off half pint."
06[23:06] * @Edgerrin picks up his hammer
01[23:07] <@BradGM> Mr. Black raises his arm "Ahem. Let me try first, at least."
[23:07] <@Edgerrin> 'go for it."
01[23:08] <@BradGM> Mr. Blacks takes out a small, fine leather roll, and begins working the lock with his rather fine looking kit...that's missing a pick as well.
01[23:08] <@BradGM> !dhroll 33
[23:08] <@Diepool> BradGM: 1 Success by 3 degrees!
[23:08] <+Ulrich> (wow the little fucker is good at picking locks)
01[23:08] <@BradGM> He works the lock with a skilled hand and unlocks it "Do not feel to bad my friend; I knew what to do observing your method."
01[23:09] <@BradGM> ((Well, he rolled a 100 last time he worked on it..))
[23:09] <@Edgerrin> "I don't feel bad since it was me that fished out yer mssing pick the first time i was here."
[23:10] <@Edgerrin> "Yer ledger is in there. 6 points to the desk
01[23:10] <@BradGM> Mr. Black "Ah, yes, I..noticed it was not present."
01[23:11] <@BradGM> He stops and seems to observe the secretary and wardrobe that's fallen over. "Hm. thank you.
01[23:11] <@BradGM> !dhroll 22 search
[23:11] <@Diepool> BradGM: 60 Failure by 3 degrees!
[23:12] <@Edgerrin> "I disarmed the trap. Unless it kin reset itself ya should be able ta just open it."
01[23:12] <@BradGM> He searches around, but only find the order ledger you found "No, that is not it. hey Maximo, pipara poupoui, yeah?"
[23:13] <@Edgerrin> "like i said i didnt read it."
01[23:13] <@BradGM> The Tilean, with a rather marking lack of entousiasm, begin looking in the mess.
01[23:13] <@BradGM> !dhroll 27
[23:13] <@Diepool> BradGM: 54 Failure by 2 degrees!
01[23:13] <@BradGM> He seems to not havign any luck as well.
06[23:14] * @Edgerrin looks searches the wall where the wardrobe was.
01[23:14] <@BradGM> Mr. Black "Well, do be a friend and help us search this mess. Plaase."
[23:14] <@Edgerrin> !dhroll 38
[23:14] <@Diepool> Edgerrin: 77 Failure by 3 degrees!
01[23:14] <@BradGM> Being a dwarf, you can see the wall is but a wall.
[23:15] <@Edgerrin> "Yer other ledger might be in the wardrobe. It was trapped too,"
01[23:16] <@BradGM> Mr. Black "Well, get your man in here, and let's all raise it." *He talks to Maximo the tilean and he uncaringly, moves to get ready to get the wardrobe up, or at least more vertical.
01[23:16] <@BradGM> ((by 'we' he means 'everyone but me'))
[23:17] <+Alexi> "Vell, hokay. Vould be easier to use Axe to open de bek, but hokay."
01[23:18] <@BradGM> You all get into it, except Mr. Black, and get the wardrobe back up, leaning on the wall precariously, but standing nonetheless.
01[23:18] <@BradGM> Downstairs, you can hear the wood rubbing sound followed by a slight 'bang' as the wardrobe got back up
06[23:20] * +Aithorn looks up at the banging sound, "I thought the halfling knew what he was looking for..."
01[23:21] <@BradGM> The Tilean downstairs moves near the stairs, husly asking "Hey papoui di delapoupoui?"
01[23:21] <@BradGM> Maximo "Di padapadoui zi relatalo padapoui."
01[23:21] <@BradGM> Tilean "Pipapoui?"
01[23:22] <@BradGM> Maximo "Pipalouipoui!"
01[23:22] <@BradGM> Tilean "Aye!"
01[23:22] <@BradGM> Mr. Black sighs "Silencio, papapoui bapooui pa!"
01[23:23] <@BradGM> The Tilean downstaris just throws in hands in the air, and goes back leaning on the small bar.
01[23:23] <@BradGM> The Halfling begins, cautiously, check the wardobe.
01[23:23] <@BradGM> !dhroll 32
[23:23] <@Diepool> BradGM: 24 Success by 0 degrees!
06[23:24] * +Ulrich looks around the first floor
01[23:25] <@BradGM> He passes his hands on the inner sides and back, then seems to stop. He takes a small steel dagger and jimmy a piece of plank away. Inside the false back is a small black leather book. Mr. Black flips the pages over "Well, Tenderfoot was always a cautious one."
01[23:25] <@BradGM> ((as in search Ulrich?))
01[23:25] <@BradGM> ((If so, search-30))
06[23:25] * +Aithorn takes an apple out of his backpack and begins eating it, while muttering things about the halfling's questionable parentage and the size of his "marbles" in elvish...
01[23:26] <@BradGM> The Tilean seems bored, while the Kislevites keep an eye on Aithorn and Ulrich, being the eternal professionnal.
01[23:27] <@BradGM> Mr.Black "Well,w e have the eldger, now to find this laboratory of his and be done with this place."
06[23:27] * @Edgerrin keeps an eye on the tilean still holding his axe.
[23:27] <+Alexi> "Ve vos tinking dot vould be in a hidden attic somevere?"

01[23:30] <@BradGM> ((The tileean got a stellio dagger actually: the Kislevites are the ones with two-handed axes))
[23:30] <@Edgerrin> ((no i meant i was holding my hammer))
01[23:30] <@BradGM> Mr.Black "This place has no attic nor basement. We believe it hidden in a hollow wall or a secret room we didn't found yet.
01[23:31] <@BradGM> ((ah ok))
[23:33] <@Edgerrin> "well we never found a lab never knew about it either. I told ya where ta find the traps and ye found the ledger. the lab be beyond our paygrade."
01[23:33] <@BradGM> Mr. Black "It may well be somewhere in here, or anywhere else inside for that matter."
06[23:34] * +Aithorn puts the apple core in a belt pouch, and draws a whetstone and his dagger (in a non-threatening manner, something Aithorn seems to be good at)
01[23:35] <@BradGM> Mr. Black "Well, I was instructed by my employer to ask for your assistance in this matter."
[23:36] <@Edgerrin> "We gave ya assistance. If you want more there better be something fer us."
01[23:37] <@BradGM> Mr.Black "In case of refusal, I was allowed to propose a purse of 100 Crowns, when the laboraory was found."
[23:37] <+Aithorn> ((https://quipvid.com/watch/t7qvoyxi))
06[23:37] * @Edgerrin looks at Aithorn.
[23:37] <@Edgerrin> (Alexi))
01[23:37] <@BradGM> Mr.Black takes out a heavy purse form under his clothing, to further validate his point.
06[23:38] * @Edgerrin looks at Alexi
[23:38] <+Alexi> "Dis iz a beeg city, leedle man. Hyu dun spect us to wander all over to look, do hyu?"
01[23:39] <@BradGM> Mr.Black "We know Tenderfoot worked from his brewery, 100 Crowns to find soemwhere in *one* building, 'Im almost giving money away here, friend."
06[23:39] * @Edgerrin walks down the hall to check the other rooms.
[23:40] <+Alexi> "Hokay, but ve need help vit our own problems too. Dot vos de deal."
[23:41] <@Edgerrin> "alexi, let's seach the upstairs, we dont find nuthin' we move on to our business. Agreed?"
01[23:41] <@BradGM> Mr.Black "Have no worries my well hatted friend, the Valentinas always pay thier debt."
[23:41] <+Alexi> "Hokay. Ve hep hyu search dis building."
01[23:42] <@BradGM> Mr. Black "Yes, I'm certain your companions and my men can search downstairs during that time.
