[20:29] <BradGM> Brother Stefan pointed the Party toward the Imperial Gunnery School for the info they were seeking, alongside a note for assistance and the warning that a bribe might help their cause. After a short trek, the Party was at the gunnery school, and after a few well-placed Crowns, exited with three names whom are known to have returned: Gerlach Baer, Rolf Vogt and Semund Tolzen.
[20:29] <BradGM> . Meanwhile, Ulrich mingled with three Knights of the White Wolf, who were impressed by the Priest’s honesty and visibly grandiose reason-to-be. So much that the trio offered their aid if Ulrich needed it. The Ulrican returned to the Happy Bear later, enjoying a few ales while the others returned.
[20:29] <BradGM> . While the rest were asking around and visiting Tolzen at the Temple of Sigmar, Siluvaine visited Giovanni Di Tello, Marble merchant and friend of Maximilian Saer. The Tilean was friendly, but seems to have no real ‘street’ knowledge that could be of use for the current investigation. Meanwhile, Alexi, Aithorn and Edgerrin met with Tolzen, former Knight-turned Initiate, who explained that while he did past near the St-Abelard Monastery, he did not stop, the place already in ruins.
[20:29] <BradGM> The Fact that he also had in his possession one of the Arming Swords proved his innocence even more. After being conned to have a watered-down pint at a student drinking hole, they decided to return to the Happy Bear and reunite with their companions for the night.

[20:30] <MordentHex> (Kick Ulrich so i can take his place)
[20:31] <BradGM> They get the usual silence and stare, but it's less as long or strong, as certain patrons recognize them from earlier.

[20:33] <Aithorn> "We managed to find one of the swords at the Temple of Sigmar, still with it's owner."
[20:34] * Siluvaine pulls out her sheet of paper. "Which one?"
[20:34] * Aithorn briefly tells them the story of Tolzen and his new found religion.
[20:36] * Siluvaine jots it down in her notes. "Any news on the other two blades?"
[20:37] <BradGM> The servant from back at noon, Petr, comes around with some Ales "Thristy lads? How' bout seme grub mebbe?"
[20:37] <Aithorn> "We asked after Gerlach Baer also, and were directed to something almost but not completely unlike beer."
[20:38] <Siluvaine> "Maybe you misspoke?"
[20:38] * Aithorn gives a look in Alexi's direction, "Maybe. We'll try again in the morning."
[20:39] <Alexi> "De students here is chust schtupid."
[20:40] * Siluvaine nods. "Well, atleast they're not rioting, so moving on the streets should be easier. My contact didn't have anything useful either, but atleast we have names."
[20:42] <BradGM> ((Oh please, you all miss the riots))
[20:42] <Aithorn> ((yeah, like i miss getting gored in the head by a beastman))

[20:44] <Ulrich> "as I told Sil earlier, we hav limited help from the Ulric Temple if we need it. They are not going snooping around for clues and asking beggers questions though"
[20:46] <Siluvaine> "They're apparently too good for that."
[20:46] <Aithorn> "I don't imagine they would. We've managed to find one sword in our first day here, if Loec looks away from us we may be able to leave here quickly."
[20:47] <Siluvaine> ((How long until the Countesses' Ball?))
[20:48] <BradGM> ((Starting tomorrow, 6 days))
[20:50] <Siluvaine> ((Ah.))
[20:50] <Aithorn> ((depending on how many people are allowed in on each ticket, servants etc, we may need Ulrich or Alexi to pass themselves off as the guy who was murdered on the boat))
[20:50] <Siluvaine> ((so not a one night thing))
[20:50] <Alexi> (As long as the dead guy was a foriegner, I can make the accent even worse :D )
[20:51] <Siluvaine> "Its going to be problematic if we have to deal with the nobility."
[20:52] <Aithorn> ((as a good IRL friend of mine says, an exotic accent is the only difference between creepy local and eccentric forigner))
[20:52] <BradGM> ((nice))

[21:14] <+Ulrich> "could we check with the Local constable to see who has not reported back in?"
[21:15] <+Ulrich> one of those soildiers or someone with them took that relic, its just a matter of connecting the dots"

[21:53] <@BradGM> You leave the Inn and go down the main Road, crossing the Reik Platz (#15) where a large and stunty oak, as wide as a small house. Aithorn can tell it is a few hundred years of age.

[23:00] <+Ulrich> "and a street cat knows how to kill it some rats"
[23:01] <@BradGM> Baer seems quite content to get all that free ale, and take a pint in each hand, drinking merrily.
[23:02] <+Aithorn> "What should we drink to?"
[23:03] <@BradGM> Baer "To *buuurp* injsustice, which got me here"
[23:03] <+Siluvaine> "Oh?"
[23:04] <@BradGM> Baer "Yeah..got accused of cowardness but it was Dark Maic I told tell, Dark Magic! But they did't beleive me, disgraced me, like my family did to me."
[23:06] * +Ulrich thanks the barkeep for his time and goes to find the others
[23:06] <+Aithorn> "At least you survived. That's more than most can say in the same situation. Where did your encounter with the fallen wizard take place?"
[23:08] <@BradGM> Baer "I was leading my men, taking care of the supply routes between Altdorf and Middenheim. Then we met a Beastsmen horde. Their shamans used some magic, 'caused me to run away, my men were mostly killed."

[23:15] * +Ulrich sits down and grab an ale. "ya it was..Mostly"
[23:16] <+Ulrich> "messy business that was..."
[23:16] * +Aithorn takes another long sip of ale and nods in agreement, "Mostly"
[23:16] <+Siluvaine> "One of your 6 brethren made it there."
[23:17] <@BradGM> Baer "Whut?"
[23:17] <+Ulrich> " what is this horse piss?"
[23:17] * +Ulrich studies his ale like its got a fly in it
[23:18] <@BradGM> ((hahah))
[23:18] <@BradGM> Sil, Baer seems to be confused as to what you said.
[23:18] <+Siluvaine> "7 swords?"
[23:18] <+Aithorn> "We passed by that monastery recently, someone from Nuln left their weapon behind. We were hoping to return it to it's rightful owner."
[23:18] <+Siluvaine> "You and 6 others?"
[23:19] <@BradGM> Baer "Oh, the Sword.."
[23:20] <@BradGM> Baer "I sold mine some weeks ago, got 3 days's worth of drinking out of it."
[23:20] <+Ulrich> "ya, a bit worried they may have stolen something from the temple too, ya know thats blasphamy right? crime against the church"
[23:22] <+Aithorn> ((succumbed to dark magic, drinks to forget his horrors, is this our man or not?))
[23:23] <+Siluvaine> "Who'd you sell it to?"
[23:23] <+Siluvaine> ((doesn't seem like it....))
[23:23] <+Ulrich> "I do not mean to be presumptous Sir, but, what exactly do ya remember. I dearly hope you remember something"
[23:23] <+Ulrich> "I know first hand the effectof dark magac on the mind myself..not good memories I can tell ya. But I kinda need to know."
[23:24] <@BradGM> He waves you off, drunkly, I dunno, some man with a cloak.."
[23:25] <+Ulrich> I tell you what, you tell me what you know about this cloaked man and i'll buy you all the ales you want for today? deal?"
[23:26] <@BradGM> Baer "Deal."
[23:26] <@BradGM> Baer "I only know he had a cloak and was a bit tall."
[23:27] * +Aithorn chuckles a bit.
[23:27] <+Ulrich> "come now, what do you take me for, describe him. dark hair, fair skin? Mutant? you get the idea."
[23:31] <+Ulrich> "a cloak and a bit tall gets you nothing friend. thats discribing every elf in the world"
[23:32] <@BradGM> Baer "I dunno, I had a few drink, it was dark."
[23:32] <@BradGM> Baer "And th'deal was all that I knew, not was or was not something unseful to you for whatever."
[23:34] <+Ulrich> "meh, he is an alcoholic, this is a dead end, he was probably blazing drunk on patrol too."
[23:34] <@BradGM> Baer "So pay for me drinkin' then.!"
[23:35] <+Ulrich> "a promise is a promise"
[23:35] * +Ulrich gets up and goes to the barkeep
[23:35] <+Aithorn> "You'll have to forgive him, he's a bit grumpy when he's been outsmarted. Take a schilling for your trouble and as thanks for the amusements. Hopefully your days will improve, Herr Baer."
[23:36] <+Ulrich> "keep this man full of your worst watered down ale and throw him out on the street when he passes out"
[23:37] <+Ulrich> "hows much cost would that inconvience cost for ya to do?"
[23:38] <@BradGM> Bartender "What am I, his mum?"
[23:39] * +Siluvaine sits back and looks at Baer. "Where can we find Rolf Vogt?"
[23:40] * +Aithorn gets up to stretch his legs, but pauses when Siluvaine asks her question.
[23:40] * +Ulrich shrugs and throws a few brass on the counter "ale for the man until it runs out"
[23:40] <@BradGM> Roll gossip+20 Sil.
[23:40] <@BradGM> ((How much brass? a pint's 2 shilling.))
[23:40] <@BradGM> ((sorry, 2 pennies))

[23:44] <+Siluvaine> ((20))
[23:44] <@BradGM> ((and 10 ales is not much for a drunk))
[23:44] <+Ulrich> (fuck him)
[23:45] <+Ulrich> (tall and wearing a cloak isn't a lot of information)
[23:45] <+Ulrich> (and we was drinking on duty, discusting)
[23:45] <@BradGM> Baer "Oh, the 'great' Rolf Vogt, Hero of the Nord. He must be staying at his DaddY's place, at least he's not wasting his time at the Countess' Court getting praised for his fighting prowess."
[23:45] <@BradGM> ((says you)
[23:46] <+Ulrich> (he said he had a few drinks when it happened)
[23:46] <+Siluvaine> "Where's his father's place?"
[23:50] <@BradGM> Baer "Somewhere in the Altestadt, his father lost favour with the Countess so he returned to his ancnetral home."
[23:51] <+Siluvaine> ((the obvious next question is where's the Altestadt...))
[23:52] <@BradGM> Baer explainst to youwhere the Altestadt is.

[23:54] <+Siluvaine> ((Typical noble. Loses favor, so he moves down..to the rich part of town))
[23:54] * +Siluvaine shrugs. "I don't think there's much else to do here. Though, what did you do with the chalice? Did you sell it as well?"
[23:54] <+Aithorn> ((Naturally))
[23:55] <@BradGM> ((Well, slightly lower part of the Rich Town.))
[23:55] <@BradGM> Baer "The whut? I got no chalice only that Sword."
[23:55] <@BradGM> Baer "And I sold it."
[23:55] * +Siluvaine nods and shrugs. "Well then, we're off. Enjoy the..ale."
[23:56] <@BradGM> Baer "Yeah, bye."
[23:57] <@BradGM> ((Ulrich; he had a few drinks when he sold the sword, not when he was fighting))

Session Time: Mon Dec 12 00:00:00 2016

[00:00] <@BradGM> Baer "Let's hope you don'T suffer that Dark Magic too."
[00:01] <+Siluvaine> "Lets hope not."
[00:02] <@BradGM> ((oh shit, I just saw it's midnight..))
[00:03] <+Aithorn> ((i guess that means this is it for the evening?))
[00:03] <@BradGM> ((my bad..ewell, let's stop it here then?))

[00:03] <+Aithorn> fine with me
[00:03] <@BradGM> *End of Session*
[20:29] <BradGM> Brother Stefan pointed the Party toward the Imperial Gunnery School for the info they were seeking, alongside a note for assistance and the warning that a bribe might help their cause. After a short trek, the Party was at the gunnery school, and after a few well-placed Crowns, exited with three names whom are known to have returned: Gerlach Baer, Rolf Vogt and Semund Tolzen.
[20:29] <BradGM> . Meanwhile, Ulrich mingled with three Knights of the White Wolf, who were impressed by the Priest’s honesty and visibly grandiose reason-to-be. So much that the trio offered their aid if Ulrich needed it. The Ulrican returned to the Happy Bear later, enjoying a few ales while the others returned.
[20:29] <BradGM> . While the rest were asking around and visiting Tolzen at the Temple of Sigmar, Siluvaine visited Giovanni Di Tello, Marble merchant and friend of Maximilian Saer. The Tilean was friendly, but seems to have no real ‘street’ knowledge that could be of use for the current investigation. Meanwhile, Alexi, Aithorn and Edgerrin met with Tolzen, former Knight-turned Initiate, who explained that while he did past near the St-Abelard Monastery, he did not stop, the place already in ruins.
[20:29] <BradGM> The Fact that he also had in his possession one of the Arming Swords proved his innocence even more. After being conned to have a watered-down pint at a student drinking hole, they decided to return to the Happy Bear and reunite with their companions for the night.

[20:30] <MordentHex> imposter!
[20:30] * BradGM: You're not a channel operator
[20:30] <BradGM> It is about an hour after the sun is set that Alexi, Aithorn and Edgerrin enters the Inn.((can't since not Op))
[20:30] <MordentHex> (Kick Ulrich so i can take his place)
[20:31] <BradGM> They get the usual silence and stare, but it's less as long or strong, as certain patrons recognize them from earlier.
[20:31] <BradGM> ((I can't, I'm not an Op. Just got Ulrich with a . after it))
[20:31] * Alexi is still annoyed at the so-called "beer" )
[20:32] * Siluvaine has returned to the Happy Bear and is waiting for the others.
[20:32] * Ulrich (MordentHex@119.41.mtq.ys) Quit (Ping timeout: 250 seconds)
[20:32] * MordentHex is now known as Ulrich
[20:32] * Aithorn walks over and gets a seat with Ulrich and Siluvaine
[20:33] <Aithorn> "We managed to find one of the swords at the Temple of Sigmar, still with it's owner."
[20:34] * Siluvaine pulls out her sheet of paper. "Which one?"
[20:34] * Aithorn briefly tells them the story of Tolzen and his new found religion.
[20:36] * Siluvaine jots it down in her notes. "Any news on the other two blades?"
[20:37] <BradGM> The servant from back at noon, Petr, comes around with some Ales "Thristy lads? How' bout seme grub mebbe?"
[20:37] <Aithorn> "We asked after Gerlach Baer also, and were directed to something almost but not completely unlike beer."
[20:38] <Siluvaine> "Maybe you misspoke?"
[20:38] * Aithorn gives a look in Alexi's direction, "Maybe. We'll try again in the morning."
[20:39] <Alexi> "De students here is chust schtupid."
[20:40] * Siluvaine nods. "Well, atleast they're not rioting, so moving on the streets should be easier. My contact didn't have anything useful either, but atleast we have names."
[20:42] <BradGM> ((Oh please, you all miss the riots))
[20:42] <Aithorn> ((yeah, like i miss getting gored in the head by a beastman))
[20:42] <Alexi> (nah, nobody had any hats!)
[20:43] <BradGM> ((Well, they prefer to spend to look good than to just simply look good))
[20:44] <Ulrich> "as I told Sil earlier, we hav limited help from the Ulric Temple if we need it. They are not going snooping around for clues and asking beggers questions though"
[20:46] <Siluvaine> "They're apparently too good for that."
[20:46] <Aithorn> "I don't imagine they would. We've managed to find one sword in our first day here, if Loec looks away from us we may be able to leave here quickly."
[20:47] <Siluvaine> ((How long until the Countesses' Ball?))
[20:48] <BradGM> ((Starting tomorrow, 6 days))
[20:50] <Siluvaine> ((Ah.))
[20:50] <Aithorn> ((depending on how many people are allowed in on each ticket, servants etc, we may need Ulrich or Alexi to pass themselves off as the guy who was murdered on the boat))
[20:50] <Siluvaine> ((so not a one night thing))
[20:50] <Alexi> (As long as the dead guy was a foriegner, I can make the accent even worse :D )
[20:51] <Siluvaine> "Its going to be problematic if we have to deal with the nobility."
[20:52] <Aithorn> ((as a good IRL friend of mine says, an exotic accent is the only difference between creepy local and eccentric forigner))
[20:52] <BradGM> ((nice))
[20:52] <BradGM> ((and true!))
[20:53] <BradGM> ((But a usual noble would have his small followers/servants with him/her.))

[20:57] <+Aithorn> "We haven't seen anybody, but there is more background noise here than in Altdorf, I haven't heard anything either."
[20:57] <@BradGM> ((Well, a priest is still a fashinable thing to have in one's entourage))
[20:59] * +Siluvaine nods. "We might have a day or two on them if we're lucky."

[21:04] * +Siluvaine nods.
[21:05] <+Ulrich> (this is true)
[21:06] <+Siluvaine> "Any plans for how to find the other two tomorrow?"
[21:08] <+Aithorn> "Nothing beyond asking at the Gunnery School. We just need to find someone with a better ear."
[21:08] <+Ulrich> (no idea, i'm still kinda trying to catch up, and this head cold is really hurting my ability to think..)
[21:08] <+Ulrich> (point the way and i'll bless you guys and patch up the wounded)
[21:09] <@BradGM> ((You can still ask around in the streets; it takes llonger and it got a -10 but still the cheapest way to go.))
[21:09] * +Siluvaine nods. "I don't suppose Tolzen knew anything about the other two?"
[21:10] <+Ulrich> (could we hire someone to be an imposter for the dead guy? then we could all just be his entourage)
[21:10] <+Siluvaine> ((brb))
[21:11] <+Aithorn> "When we talked to Tolzen, he hadn't seen any other units in the field and has stayed inside the Temple since his return, so he says."
[21:12] <+Ulrich> "i'm not an expert on military matters, but that doesn't seem right.
[21:12] <+Ulrich> "
[21:12] <+Alexi> "Hit depends on vot de conditions vere."
[21:13] <+Ulrich> Military patrols should all be back by now and keeping the peace by now I would think, they would definetely want to discourage any "trouble" before the event."
[21:14] <+Ulrich> "could we check with the Local constable to see who has not reported back in?"
[21:15] <+Ulrich> one of those soildiers or someone with them took that relic, its just a matter of connecting the dots"
[21:18] <+Aithorn> "When we spoke to the clerk, there were 4 commanders who were still out in the field, dead or alive. But I think what we seek is here."
[21:18] <+Siluvaine> ((back,sorry))
[21:19] <+Siluvaine> "Well, we can look into those that are here. Its possible the one we seek is still out in the field, I suppose."

[21:40] <@BradGM> You spend at the night at the Happy Bear. Aithron and Alexi, you wake up next morning with your things not at the same place. Checking your things, you seems to have had some money stolen during the night. Aithorn lost 13 Crowns, Alexi 7.
[21:41] <+Aithorn> ((no good))
[21:41] <+Aithorn> ((duly noted on sheet))
[21:43] <@BradGM> Those who took a rom had some light breakfast the next morning; grawl with bread and mead, nothing fancy, but it is actully tasty and filling.
[21:44] <+Ulrich> (split the private room Sil?)

[21:45] <+Ulrich> (at least i didn't get my gold stolen)
[21:45] <@BradGM> ((had a 10% chance, so people are just lucky)))
[21:46] <@BradGM> You also notice a few non-maritimes patrons in the Inn. It seems the tourists are alraedy in the city for Gunpowder Week.
[21:48] * +Siluvaine considers where to look for info on the targets over breakfast. "Back to the college?"
[21:48] <+Ulrich> "Ok we all got a full belly, lets get this show on the road so to speak"
[21:49] * +Aithorn looks around for a carnival, unsucessfully. "To the college."
[21:52] * +Siluvaine nods and gets to her feet and heads out to the college with the group.
[21:53] * +Aithorn gets up and walks out as well
[21:53] * +Siluvaine keeps an eye out for anyone following them or spying on them.
[21:53] <@BradGM> You leave the Inn and go down the main Road, crossing the Reik Platz (#15) where a large and stunty oak, as wide as a small house. Aithorn can tell it is a few hundred years of age. Numerous pieces of paper, job offers, both old and new, and nailed all aruond the trunk. Traffic is also quite heavy, with numerous wagons.

[21:57] * +Siluvaine looks oer the pieces of paper, curious.

[22:01] * +Siluvaine shakes her head and continues on.
[22:03] <@BradGM> You arrive at the Gunnery School Area. The smell of piss and vomit is replaced by the acre taste of burnt gunpowder. Some old kid comes near you with a big basket filled with rolled papers "Buy a fireworks? I got all sorts! Give'em while it's here!"
[22:04] <+Ulrich> "rats? big Rats?"

[22:06] <+Ulrich> "know anythign of "big rats" in caves friend?"
[22:06] <+Ulrich> "how big can a rat get? surely not big enough to kill a man much less a team of men"
[22:09] * +Siluvaine shakes her head at the kid. "Not unless you have information."
[22:10] <@BradGM> The Kid looks at you funny "Information? Like whut?"
[22:11] <+Siluvaine> "We're looking for Gerlach Baer and Rolf Vogt."
[22:13] <+Ulrich> "lets hury this up, I want to check into that post, It could be a good job for some quick money in our coffers"
[22:13] <+Ulrich> "and lodging here is expencive"
[22:14] <@BradGM> Roll gossip -10 Sil.
[22:15] <+Aithorn> "Just don't take the rats lightly. We saw one before in Middenheim and Nuln is just as big."
[22:15] <+Ulrich> "agreed, more reason to check into it. If there are mor of those "things" best to kill em."

[22:22] <@BradGM> Kid "Gerlarch Baer?" *He seems surprised, even disgusted a bit* "I hear he's at the Blind Piglet."
[22:22] <+Siluvaine> "Blind piglet?"
[22:22] <+Ulrich> "whats with the sour face kid?"
[22:22] <+Ulrich> "did he diddle your mom or somthing?"
[22:22] <@BradGM> Kid "some taven in Shantytown."
[22:23] <@BradGM> Kid "I don't go there! That's pace's dangerous."
[22:23] <@BradGM> ((*place))
[22:23] <+Siluvaine> "Why?"
[22:23] <+Siluvaine> "Other than what the name suggests?"
[22:23] <+Ulrich> (awe, I thought he just talked funny, way to ruin it)
[22:24] <@BradGM> Kid "Heh..it's Shantytown."
[22:24] <@BradGM> The kid keep going with his peddling.
[22:25] * +Siluvaine tosses the kid 3 silver.
[22:26] <@BradGM> Kid "thanks lady!"
[22:26] <@BradGM> He throws ou a small petard.
[22:26] <@BradGM> ((think firecracker))
[22:28] * +Siluvaine slips it away with a wave and turns towards Ulrich. "Try not to insult the people that are giving us information."
[22:29] * +Aithorn waits until the kid has moved on to the next group of people. "He knows where Baer is in a place where he hasn't been? How reliable do we think this is?
[22:30] * +Siluvaine shrugs. "Do we have any other information?"
[22:30] * +Siluvaine motions to the college. "You can try there for something."
[22:30] <+Aithorn> "None, but we should check what we can find out about Vogt while we're here."
[22:31] * +Ulrich raises his hands "it was a joke, honest!"

[22:32] <@BradGM> You spend an hour asking around, but everyone seems more busy with their own affairs than with yours.
[22:32] <+Aithorn> ((naturally))
[22:32] <@BradGM> Opps, soryry for Volg, that would be gossip+10
[22:33] <+Aithorn> ((still a fail, would have been 42 out of 39))

[22:34] <+Ulrich> (yeah they definetely don't want to talk to me)
[22:35] <@BradGM> Ulric seems to have a seriously bad reputation in Nuln, as Ulrich is almost met with open hostility when inquiring around for Rolf Vogt.
[22:35] <+Aithorn> "Vogt seems to be laying low, let's go see what we may at the Blind Piglet before Baer goes home to sleep it off."
[22:35] <@BradGM> ((That was in the same hour, 'mind))
[22:35] <+Ulrich> "bloody heretics, I'm leaving"

[22:39] <+Ulrich> (or im searching for more Monster lore maybe?)
[22:39] <+Ulrich> (never played warhammer quest I take it? lol)
[22:39] <@BradGM> Oh, that's the quarter actually just North of the Happy Bear, mostly made out of wood and of questionable construction, filled with bandits, whores, the poor and the sick.
[22:39] <@BradGM> (nope))
[22:40] <+Ulrich> (original was awesome)
[22:40] <+Ulrich> (core book would probably be a good info source for you too)
[22:40] <+Aithorn> ((I played lots of Warhammer Quest, still one of my favorites))
[22:41] <+Ulrich> (yeah, it was amazing)
[22:41] * +Siluvaine heads north then!
[22:41] <+Aithorn> ((if it wasn't so expensive on ebay, I'd have purchased a copy of my own))
[22:41] <+Ulrich> (i got my orginal copy at home still. =D)
[22:42] <+Ulrich> (you could make a small warhammer army out of the goblins and orks alone)
[22:42] * +Aithorn heads north with Siluvaine. "Ulrich, stay safe. We'll need you with us when we locate the chalice."
[22:42] <@BradGM> The Party returns back form where they came form, and head to Shantytown. Fortunately, their large weapons, armour and magical powers seems to keep most thugs and riffiants at bay.
[22:44] * +Siluvaine starts looking for the Blind Piglet.
[22:44] * +Ulrich "it could be a lead on our current quest as well, Rats don't kill entire teams of rat catchers"
[22:44] <@BradGM> Roll gossip+30 Sil, you too Ulrich to find the Marinated Bead.

[22:46] <@Diceling> Ulrich: 52 Success by 2 degrees!
[22:46] <@BradGM> Sil, you find the Blind Piglet; a sagging building, the insides looks rather gloomy and dangerous.
[22:46] <@BradGM> Ulrich, the Marinated Beet is located on the Docks. It is rather a stinking hole
[22:47] * +Siluvaine looks around and frowns. "Don't suppose we know what he looks like?"
[22:48] <+Aithorn> "Maybe the bartender will know. But I do not know."
[22:49] * +Siluvaine heads inside, looking around the bar as she does.
[22:49] <@BradGM> The Barkeep points you to a thin man in his 20s, visibly quite drunk, even this early, with filthy back hair and half of his face seems to have been flogged.
[22:50] <@BradGM> The place seems to be filled with only a few local professional drunkards and Baer.
[22:51] * +Ulrich checks at the bar on the job offer
[22:51] * +Siluvaine looks over to see if Baer has a weapon.
[22:52] <@BradGM> Baer has nothing. His clothing seems to have been worn for a month without change.
[22:52] <@BradGM> Ulrich, the old owner of the run down tavern explains how big rats killed his 2 cats he bought to get rid of them! He pays 5 pennies per dead rat.
[22:53] * +Siluvaine grimaces. "Well, no blade, and he looks rather...yeah."
[22:53] * +Aithorn sits down next the the dirty man at the table. "Gerlach Baer?"
[22:54] <+Ulrich> "how many rats? throne of Ulric!"
[22:54] * +Siluvaine orders a mug of whatever it looks like Baer is drinking..maybe bribery will work.
[22:54] <@BradGM> The man raises a drunken face to you "Myea whu?"
[22:55] <@BradGM> He's drinking the local ale
[22:55] <@BradGM> Onwer "Oh, mebbe 20, or 25."
[22:55] <+Aithorn> ((the rats killed the last team? then who counted them all?))
[22:55] * +Ulrich things and does the math
[22:56] <+Ulrich> (*thinks)
[22:57] <@BradGM> ((The last team being 2 bought cats))
[22:57] <@BradGM> Sil, a mug costs 2 pennies.
[22:57] * +Aithorn raises a mug of the local ale toward Baer, "We were hoping you would join us in a toast. And a tale or two."
[22:58] <+Ulrich> "sorry fella, S much as i would be liking to help ya out, A priest's work is never done. Priority's and all ya know."
[22:58] * +Siluvaine buys the mug and sets it down on the table before she sits down.
[22:59] <+Ulrich> "just get ya a team of 5 er 6 cats down there and they will clean it up for ya in no time"
[22:59] <@BradGM> Roll charm or gossip Aithorn, +10 for Sil's assistance and +10 for the Ale
[22:59] <@BradGM> Onwer "at the Prices cats goes!?! Are you mad?"
[22:59] <+Ulrich> " just trap ya some street cats, they be needing a home anyways"

[23:00] <@Diceling> Aithorn: 35 Success by 1 degree!
[23:00] <+Ulrich> "and a street cat knows how to kill it some rats"
[23:01] <@BradGM> Baer seems quite content to get all that free ale, and take a pint in each hand, drinking merrily.
[23:02] <+Aithorn> "What should we drink to?"
[23:03] <@BradGM> Baer "To *buuurp* injsustice, which got me here"
[23:03] <+Siluvaine> "Oh?"
[23:04] <@BradGM> Baer "Yeah..got accused of cowardness but it was Dark Maic I told tell, Dark Magic! But they did't beleive me, disgraced me, like my family did to me."
[23:06] * +Ulrich thanks the barkeep for his time and goes to find the others
[23:06] <+Aithorn> "At least you survived. That's more than most can say in the same situation. Where did your encounter with the fallen wizard take place?"
[23:08] <@BradGM> Baer "I was leading my men, taking care of the supply routes between Altdorf and Middenheim. Then we met a Beastsmen horde. Their shamans used some magic, 'caused me to run away, my men were mostly killed."
[23:10] <+Ulrich> !dhroll 77
[23:10] <@Diceling> Ulrich: 54 Success by 2 degrees!
[23:10] <@BradGM> Baer "But those who survived caught be and turned me in."
[23:10] <+Ulrich> (to find the bar everyone is in)
[23:11] <@BradGM> Ulrich, you get direction to the Blind Piglet in Shantytown.
[23:12] <@BradGM> Baer drinks heavily from a pint.
[23:12] * +Ulrich walks in
[23:12] <+Siluvaine> "Atleast it wasn't the Abbey of St. Abelard."
[23:12] <+Aithorn> ((one elf is smarter than the other, well done Sil))
[23:13] <@BradGM> !dhroll 31
[23:13] <@Diceling> BradGM: 6 Success by 2 degrees!
[23:14] <@BradGM> Baer "That Monastery was destroyed almost at the same time the Siege of Middenheim began, I heard it was wiped out."
[23:15] * +Ulrich sits down and grab an ale. "ya it was..Mostly"
[23:16] <+Ulrich> "messy business that was..."
[23:16] * +Aithorn takes another long sip of ale and nods in agreement, "Mostly"
[23:16] <+Siluvaine> "One of your 6 brethren made it there."
[23:17] <@BradGM> Baer "Whut?"
[23:17] <+Ulrich> " what is this horse piss?"
[23:17] * +Ulrich studies his ale like its got a fly in it
[23:18] <@BradGM> ((hahah))
[23:18] <@BradGM> Sil, Baer seems to be confused as to what you said.
[23:18] <+Siluvaine> "7 swords?"
[23:18] <+Aithorn> "We passed by that monastery recently, someone from Nuln left their weapon behind. We were hoping to return it to it's rightful owner."
[23:18] <+Siluvaine> "You and 6 others?"
[23:19] <@BradGM> Baer "Oh, the Sword.."
[23:20] <@BradGM> Baer "I sold mine some weeks ago, got 3 days's worth of drinking out of it."
[23:20] <+Ulrich> "ya, a bit worried they may have stolen something from the temple too, ya know thats blasphamy right? crime against the church"
[23:22] <+Aithorn> ((succumbed to dark magic, drinks to forget his horrors, is this our man or not?))
[23:23] <+Siluvaine> "Who'd you sell it to?"
[23:23] <+Siluvaine> ((doesn't seem like it....))
[23:23] <+Ulrich> "I do not mean to be presumptous Sir, but, what exactly do ya remember. I dearly hope you remember something"
[23:23] <+Ulrich> "I know first hand the effectof dark magac on the mind myself..not good memories I can tell ya. But I kinda need to know."
[23:24] <@BradGM> He waves you off, drunkly, I dunno, some man with a cloak.."
[23:25] <+Ulrich> I tell you what, you tell me what you know about this cloaked man and i'll buy you all the ales you want for today? deal?"
[23:26] <@BradGM> Baer "Deal."
[23:26] <@BradGM> Baer "I only know he had a cloak and was a bit tall."
[23:27] * +Aithorn chuckles a bit.
[23:27] <+Ulrich> "come now, what do you take me for, describe him. dark hair, fair skin? Mutant? you get the idea."
[23:31] <+Ulrich> "a cloak and a bit tall gets you nothing friend. thats discribing every elf in the world"
[23:32] <@BradGM> Baer "I dunno, I had a few drink, it was dark."
[23:32] <@BradGM> Baer "And th'deal was all that I knew, not was or was not something unseful to you for whatever."
[23:34] <+Ulrich> "meh, he is an alcoholic, this is a dead end, he was probably blazing drunk on patrol too."
[23:34] <@BradGM> Baer "So pay for me drinkin' then.!"
[23:35] <+Ulrich> "a promise is a promise"
[23:35] * +Ulrich gets up and goes to the barkeep
[23:35] <+Aithorn> "You'll have to forgive him, he's a bit grumpy when he's been outsmarted. Take a schilling for your trouble and as thanks for the amusements. Hopefully your days will improve, Herr Baer."
[23:36] <+Ulrich> "keep this man full of your worst watered down ale and throw him out on the street when he passes out"
[23:37] <+Ulrich> "hows much cost would that inconvience cost for ya to do?"
[23:38] <@BradGM> Bartender "What am I, his mum?"
[23:39] * +Siluvaine sits back and looks at Baer. "Where can we find Rolf Vogt?"
[23:40] * +Aithorn gets up to stretch his legs, but pauses when Siluvaine asks her question.
[23:40] * +Ulrich shrugs and throws a few brass on the counter "ale for the man until it runs out"
[23:40] <@BradGM> Roll gossip+20 Sil.
[23:40] <@BradGM> ((How much brass? a pint's 2 shilling.))

[23:44] <+Siluvaine> ((20))
[23:44] <@BradGM> ((and 10 ales is not much for a drunk))
[23:44] <+Ulrich> (fuck him)
[23:45] <+Ulrich> (tall and wearing a cloak isn't a lot of information)
[23:45] <+Ulrich> (and we was drinking on duty, discusting)
[23:45] <@BradGM> Baer "Oh, the 'great' Rolf Vogt, Hero of the Nord. He must be staying at his DaddY's place, at least he's not wasting his time at the Countess' Court getting praised for his fighting prowess."
[23:45] <@BradGM> ((says you)
[23:46] <+Ulrich> (he said he had a few drinks when it happened)
[23:46] <+Siluvaine> "Where's his father's place?"
[23:50] <@BradGM> Baer "Somewhere in the Altestadt, his father lost favour with the Countess so he returned to his ancnetral home."
[23:51] <+Siluvaine> ((the obvious next question is where's the Altestadt...))
[23:52] <@BradGM> Baer explainst to youwhere the Altestadt is.

[23:53] <@BradGM> It is the Rich part of town, higher up the hill, with the Palace at the top.
[23:54] <+Siluvaine> ((Typical noble. Loses favor, so he moves down..to the rich part of town))
[23:54] * +Siluvaine shrugs. "I don't think there's much else to do here. Though, what did you do with the chalice? Did you sell it as well?"
[23:54] <+Aithorn> ((Naturally))
[23:55] <@BradGM> ((Well, slightly lower part of the Rich Town.))
[23:55] <@BradGM> Baer "The whut? I got no chalice only that Sword."
[23:55] <@BradGM> Baer "And I sold it."
[23:55] * +Siluvaine nods and shrugs. "Well then, we're off. Enjoy the..ale."
[23:56] <@BradGM> Baer "Yeah, bye."
[23:57] <@BradGM> ((Ulrich; he had a few drinks when he sold the sword, not when he was fighting))
[23:58] * +Aithorn says to Baer "To better days, your next toast, for yourself as well as us." then turns and goes out to the door waiting for Siluvaine and Ulrich
Session Time: Mon Dec 12 00:00:00 2016

[00:00] <@BradGM> Baer "Let's hope you don'T suffer that Dark Magic too."
[00:01] <+Siluvaine> "Lets hope not."
[00:02] <@BradGM> ((oh shit, I just saw it's midnight..))
[00:03] <+Aithorn> ((i guess that means this is it for the evening?))
