[20:15] <BradGM> Taking a room at the Imperial Inn, the party decided to split in two the next morning; Ulrich and Edgerrin would go to the Temple of Sigmar, while the others would contact Lord Frederik, returning to the Imperial Inn around midday to exchange findings.
[20:15] <BradGM> Then, a street urchin gave Ulrich a sealed letter. Dismissing the boy, he opened it to have a deamon appear in front of them! Despite the horror of the patrons, it was quickly killed, and Siluvaine managed to con the owner by selling his staff a hundred fold its value. The letter revealed nothing, short of a small skull motif made out of blood; the Symbol of the Cult of The Crimson Skull.
[20:15] <BradGM> . Next morning, Ulrich and Edgerrin arrived at the majestic Temple of Sigmar. Entering the Holy Palace, the duo was accosted by Mathias Hoffer, Templar of the Ordo Fidelis, pressing the Man about his robes. Upon learning of the barber-surgeon’s turn toward Sigmar, the Witch Hunter guided them to his private chambers to discuss further.
[20:15] <BradGM> . Meanwhile, the remainder of the Party made contact with Lord Frederik in his sumptuous Walled Estate. They were taken to his Study where Aithorn quickly went to business discussing the Party’s tales against the many Forces of Chaos you encountered, sparing no details, even embellishing a few duller victories and deaths, to the Aristocrat’s great interest and pleasure.
[20:15] <BradGM> Ulrich and Edgerrin, move to #TempleofSigmar
[20:17] <Ulrich> (ok)
[20:17] * Siluvaine glances around. "As you can understand, any help you may be able to provide would be most useful."
[20:20] <BradGM> Lord Frederik " Of course; I just so happen to have a good freidn of mine being a former witch Hunter. she may prove useful to your quest."
[20:20] * Siluvaine considers that statement for a few moments. "Former?"
[20:21] * Aithorn blurts out "Witch Hunter?"
[20:22] * Siluvaine glances at Aithorn.
[20:23] <BradGM> Fred "Yes, she retired a decade ago, quite the adventuring type as well; I'll write you a letter of recommendation for you, id you'd deisre one."
[20:23] <Siluvaine> "That would be very helpful I'm sure."
[20:25] * Aithorn bows slightly, "Thank you. Perhaps later we will be able to tell you how this tale ends."
[20:26] * Elttaes sets mode: +o BradGM
[20:26] * Elttaes sets mode: +vv Aithorn Alexi
[20:26] * Elttaes sets mode: +vv Siluvaine Ulrich
[20:27] * Elttaes is now known as Edgerrin
[20:28] <@BradGM> Lord Frederik writes you a letter of recommendation (who takes it?) for his ex-WitchHunter firned, Theodora Pferig, who lives across the river in the popular sector of the City.
[20:29] <+Aithorn> "Do you know where this friend lives? Or where we can find her? We have only recently come to the city."
[20:30] <+Siluvaine> "Oh, would you know of any weapon shops that specialize in the higher end merchandise?"
[20:30] * +Siluvaine take the letter.
[20:32] <@BradGM> Lord Fred "Yes; Go to the Imperial Palace, then toward the River toward the Imperial fortress. Then across it, it should be a little to your left starting from the side door of the University's Libreary."
[20:34] <@BradGM> Fred "I do not know much about weapons shops, but I am familiar with a merchant who sponsor adventuring parties and young wizards. He too shares my views regarding chaos in this world and how we must act agaisnt it. He eveng ave me a good price on my exterior furniture, in season, form waht he told me."
[20:35] <+Siluvaine> "Ah, that could be very helpful."
[20:37] <+Aithorn> "Indeed, it would"
[20:37] <@BradGM> He writes you an introductionary letter for a certain Maximilian Saer "He is very into fashion and appearances, I would recommend dressing your best when you meet him."
[20:38] <@BradGM> He also gives you indication to his home, a 6 story house in ther Merchant's sector.
[20:41] <+Siluvaine> "Of course. Thank you very much for your help. If we see Dieter Klemperer again, do you have a message for him?"
[20:41] <+Siluvaine> ((Brb))
[20:42] <@BradGM> Lord Frederik "Oh no, I should see him during my monthly visit to the Bocage club.."
[20:46] <+Aithorn> !dhroll 25
[20:46] <Diceling> Aithorn: 22 Success by 0 degrees!
[20:47] <@BradGM> ((??))
[20:48] <+Aithorn> ((Common knowledge empire to see if i mis-remember what a bocage is)) "What is a Bocage? It seems dwarven?"
[20:51] * +Siluvaine nods and tucks th second letter away as well. "Of course, thank you. If its possible, I'm sure we'll be able to let you know how it all turns out."
[20:54] <@BradGM> Frederik "Not quite my friend. It is a Bretonnian method of seperating fields by spliting them with earth banks with vegetation on top."
[20:55] <@BradGM> Fred "The Bocage club is an academician and scientician's club."
[20:56] <+Aithorn> "Interesting, I have seen hedges like those, but I didn't know their name."
[20:59] <@BradGM> Lord Frederik smiles a little "well, pardon me for saying I'd never though I'd teach an Elf anything.."
[21:00] * +Siluvaine thinks that Aithorn has just ruined 10,000 years of elven superiority! Or not.
[21:02] <+Aithorn> ((Elven superiority? You've clearly not been paying attention to my dice rolls... EVER...))
[21:03] <+Siluvaine> ((heh))
[21:05] <@BradGM> Fred "Now, not to be a bother, but I have an appointment to go to."
[21:06] * +Siluvaine nods. "Of course, thank you again for your assistance."
[21:07] <+Aithorn> "Naturally, thank you for your time."
[21:08] * +Siluvaine heads off, presumably following the servant out.
[21:08] * +Aithorn follows along with Sil
[21:09] * +Siluvaine waits until they're out and back on the street, horses and all. "So. More letters."
[21:10] <@BradGM> Yes, the butler takes you back to the front door and outside to the walled estate, where the stench seems far away, but still like a back draft...*
[21:11] <@BradGM> And outside, the street's noise and smell hits you again.
[21:12] * +Siluvaine grimaces and holds up a cloth stuffed with herbs. "So. The witchhunter, the weapons or try to find the others?"
[21:12] <+Aithorn> "Aye, more letters. Hopefully these don't say "Arrest the bearers""
[21:13] <@BradGM> For those who can read, so siluvaine, no.
[21:14] <+Siluvaine> ((heh))
[21:14] * +Siluvaine shakes her head. "Not that unlucky."
[21:14] <+Aithorn> "The others for now, I have no desire to meet more Witch Hunters who may not be as noble as the last, and we will Alexi and his hats to meet the merchant."
[21:14] <@BradGM> It is about 10:30/11 or so. you do plan on gathering at the Imperial Inn to exchange findings.
[21:15] * +Siluvaine nods and starts to head back towards the Inn.
[21:18] <@BradGM> You return at the Imperial Inn; Edgerrin and Ulrich are already present. Edgerrin seems to drink like someone who walked across a desert.
[21:18] * +Ulrich belch's loudly
[21:19] <+Aithorn> ((So basically, like any other dwarf))
[21:19] <+Siluvaine> "I'm not sure if this is their natural state, or if we've got problems."
[21:19] <+Alexi> "Vy not heff both?"
[21:20] <+Aithorn> "The first does not exclude the second"
[21:20] * +Ulrich whispers to Edge "wait until they sit down next to us, and then fart loudly"
[21:20] <@BradGM> In short order, you all get drinks and decent food (reg prices)
[21:20] * +Ulrich grins evily
[21:20] <+Aithorn> ((please, like the dwarf can compete with the stench in the streets...))
[21:21] <+Ulrich> (who cares, im sure it would be funny)
[21:21] <@BradGM> ((yeah it might even make the place stink less))
[21:21] <@BradGM> !roll 1d10 current smell is
[21:21] <Diceling> BradGM, current smell is: 9
[21:21] <+Ulrich> (oh, that cant be good)
[21:21] <@BradGM> ... smell like Leatherworks.
[21:22] <+Ulrich> "it doesn't smell that bad today, smells a little like home"
[21:24] <@BradGM> ((heh, yeah for ow!))
[21:24] <@BradGM> ((now..))
[21:24] <+Ulrich> "so, what did you guys find?"
[21:24] * +Siluvaine shakes her head. "More letters. A suggestion for a..former Witch hunter. And someplace to get weapons."
[21:25] <+Aithorn> "And why it's better to have a walled estate."
[21:27] * +Siluvaine nods. "That too."
[21:28] <+Ulrich> "interesting"
[21:28] <@BradGM> ((hey, you got a Middenheim house; it's still something..))
[21:28] <+Siluvaine> "How were the temples?"
[21:29] <+Aithorn> ((yeah, it's great and all, but Middenheim doesn't have Altdorf's... bouquet...))
[21:29] <@BradGM> ((the price of cosmopolitanism))
[21:30] <@BradGM> ((..and being build at the crossing of 2 rivers..))
[21:30] <+Ulrich> "we ran in to an, ah, friend
[21:30] <+Ulrich> "
[21:31] <+Ulrich> "Hoffer"
[21:31] <+Aithorn> "Did he say why he was here?"
[21:32] <+Ulrich> "the closest thing I think they get to Holidays"
[21:32] <+Ulrich> "or vacation"
[21:32] * +Siluvaine looks skeptical.
[21:33] <+Ulrich> "who knows with them"
[21:33] <+Ulrich> "he could be following the same trail for all we know:
[21:33] <+Ulrich> "
[21:34] <+Aithorn> "Or keeping an eye on us, it is still good to know if we need a hand."
[21:36] <+Ulrich> "indeed"
[21:36] <+Siluvaine> "What did the priests say?"
[21:36] <+Ulrich> "we did not get that far"
[21:37] <+Ulrich> "we did get this though"
[21:37] * +Ulrich hands her the note
[21:38] * +Siluvaine reads the note, half expecting another demon to pop out.
[21:38] <@BradGM> The note is actually a letter of introduction for a certain Gottri Hammelfist, living north of Altdorf University. He is a witch Hunter.
[21:38] <+Ulrich> "damn demons only pop out on me?"
[21:38] <@BradGM> Is it signed and sealed by Mathias hoffer, Templar of the Ordo Fidelis.
[21:40] * +Siluvaine frowns slightly. "Its another letter of introduction. To another hunter."
[21:40] <@BradGM> ((Oh, how I am smiling and laughing right now..poor adventurers...))
[21:40] <+Ulrich> "tis not like we couldn't use more from what i remember of last time"
[21:41] <+Aithorn> "Unless we got lucky that we met 3 noble hearted individuals who had bigger things to deal with than 5 wanderers."
[21:42] <@BradGM> ((well, technically, you did investigated their dead comrade, so they were sorta chasing you...)
[21:44] * MordentHex (MordentHex@119.41.hju.jx) has joined #shadowrun
[21:44] <MordentHex> ( that was wierd, damned chinese internet!!)
[21:44] <MordentHex> (boot Ulrich so i can take his spot)
[21:45] * MordentHex gives Ulrich a clout round the head with a fresh copy of HydraIRC
[21:45] * MordentHex instructs a pet piranha to munch on Ulrich's shoulder blades
[21:45] * Ulrich was kicked by BradGM (Ulrich)
[21:46] * MordentHex is now known as Ulrich
[21:46] <Ulrich> "so what do we do?"
[21:46] * Ulrich sips his beer
[21:47] <+Siluvaine> "Well, I guess we either talk to the Priests or the retired hunters first."
[21:48] <+Siluvaine> "Though I need to do some shopping first."
[21:49] <Ulrich> "for?"
[21:49] <@BradGM> ((shopping for high end weapon? like a fancier piece of wood/staff?))
[21:49] <+Siluvaine> "To replace my demon-slaying weapon of course."
[21:50] <Ulrich> "ah, i guess we could look around, its a big city after all"
[21:50] <@BradGM> Oh yes; the owner is busy hanging the table Alexi plit and Siluvaine's quarterstaff on the wall.
[21:50] <+Aithorn> ((The Priests? We've got 2 witch hunters and a merchant to visit, who else?))
[21:50] <Ulrich> "but couldn't you just go find a stick somewhere?"
[21:51] * +Siluvaine doesn't respond to that.
[21:52] <+Siluvaine> ((well, the dagger was last seen with one of Churches, so we've got letters to check things out there))
[21:53] <@BradGM> ((no, it was reported in altdorf for an oponent to some Ulrican you don't know about, it doens' t mean that either churches got it))
[21:53] <+Siluvaine> ((oh. Hmm))
[21:53] <@BradGM> ((for all you know, a beggar is using it to cut old cheese for his luncvh right now in the poo sector))
[21:53] <@BradGM> ((*poor))
[21:53] <@BradGM> ((yet again in here, there might just be a poo sector..)
[21:53] <+Aithorn> ((for his lunch right now in the smells-like-poo sector))
[21:54] <@BradGM> So, where to now then?))
[21:55] <@BradGM> So, where to now then?
[21:55] <Ulrich> ( i can see it now "demonic cheese sandwich")
[21:56] <+Siluvaine> ((Checking the logs again))
[21:58] <+Aithorn> "A retired witch hunter may be more willing to relive memories than one who still hunts. I would go see Pifferig"
[21:58] <@BradGM> Right now, you got Theodora Pferig, ex-Witch hunter; Gottri Hammelfist, Witch Hunter; Maximilian Saer, Merchant.
[22:02] <+Siluvaine> ((So we just have a note from an Ulrican priest, saying the dagger had been brought to Altdorf by "One of their rivals." I assumed that meant we should go to teh Temples and try to find out more information, or am I missing something?))
[22:04] <@BradGM> ((well, it's about 2 or 300 years old.))
[22:04] <@BradGM> ((OR perhaps a little less))
[22:05] * +Siluvaine shrugs. "I can go to the merchant while the rest check out Pferig."
[22:06] <@BradGM> ((It was a lead, and now you're trying to confirm it, but that info itself was buried somehwere in a dark corner at the Collegium, in the forbidden Library, so a slim chance for anyone to know somehting now))
[22:09] <Ulrich> (hmm)
[22:09] <@BradGM> ((hm?))
[22:09] <Ulrich> "works for me"
[22:10] <Ulrich> (sorry was ono the phone with the wife)
[22:10] <Ulrich> (oooh new Elvish word! ono!)
[22:11] <Ulrich> "or should we all stick together?"
[22:13] <Ulrich> (or did everyone fall asleep at the computer?)
[22:13] * +Siluvaine shrugs. "I don't know if we all have to stick together. It was suggested the merchant is of a more..refined...variety. But perhaps Ishould take someone else with me, if more demons were to appear."
[22:14] <Ulrich> "you mean if more pop out of perfectly good reading material?"
[22:15] * +Siluvaine shrugs. "Something like that."
[22:15] <@BradGM> ((that or whatever..))
[22:16] * +Siluvaine glances at Alexi and Aithorn.
[22:16] <+Aithorn> "Take Alexi, he can talk about the finer points of dress and accessories. The rest of us can handle Pferig"
[22:16] <Ulrich> "I may wish to do some shopping here as well. This is a magor city, could be easier to find supplies at a lower rate"
[22:17] <Ulrich> "which i may add is a good time to do before we get in over our heads again"
[22:17] <+Alexi> "Hy kin do dot. Dey dun know muc about proper hats here."
[22:18] <@Edgerrin> "I be wanting ta g=find a runesmith but da witchhunter told me that e' wuz between 'ere and Nukn."
[22:18] <@Edgerrin> (Nuln)
[22:19] <Ulrich> "i think that settles it then, we should spend today shopping and looking for this contact"
[22:19] <Ulrich> "Me and Ege can do our thing as usual"
[22:20] <Ulrich> "it would draw less attention if that possible"
[22:20] * +Siluvaine nods. "That's fine. Get two things done atleast."
[22:22] <Ulrich> "ok then, see ya later. Lets see what we can find me dear dwarf, and maybe a good doom for you inthe bargain?"
[22:22] * @Edgerrin grins and nods
[22:23] * Ulrich finish's his beer and belch's again
[22:24] <Ulrich> "Provencial"
[22:24] * +Siluvaine fails to avoid wincing.
[22:25] <@BradGM> ((So which contact are you looking for?))
[22:26] <Ulrich> (we will go find this guy for Ege first, he has been patient for the Church stuff)
[22:26] <+Siluvaine> ((Siluvaine will get changed and head for Mximillian Saer))
[22:26] <Ulrich> (after that we can wonder about looking for the important stuff)
[22:26] <Ulrich> (all work and no play makes life dull after all)
[22:27] <@Edgerrin> (according to the WH the smith is outside the city but he could be wrong)
[22:27] <@Edgerrin> "Duz anyone know if this town has a dwarves quater or artisan area?"
[22:28] <Ulrich> (well, up to you, lead the way with yoru stumpy legs!)
[22:29] <@BradGM> You'd know there's a merchant's sector; you walked in parts of it where you first arrived in Altdorf. As for a Dwarven Quarter, roll gossip.
[22:30] <@Edgerrin> !dhroll 7
[22:30] <Diceling> Edgerrin: 74 Failure by 6 degrees!
[22:31] <@Edgerrin> (I'll ask someone that looks inteeligemnt when i pass them))
[22:31] <@BradGM> Alexi, doing anything to get ready for meeting Saer?
[22:31] * +Siluvaine heads up stairs and changes into her best clothing and mask.
[22:31] <@BradGM> Aithorn, what/where are you doing?
[22:32] <+Aithorn> ((I'll go with Ulrich and Edge))
[22:32] <+Alexi> nothing special. Kossars are not known for saratorial displays (except for hats!)
[22:33] <@BradGM> Fate point Edge?
[22:33] <@BradGM> Oh- snce we've haven't played in a while, your Fate points are all reloaded.
[22:34] <@Edgerrin> (9Hell no))
[22:34] <Ulrich> (i'll ask around)
[22:34] <@Edgerrin> ((be awaste of a roll))
[22:35] <Ulrich> (I got Gossip, Charm and a good speak language skills, what do i need to roll?)
[22:36] <@BradGM> You haven't begun to start your sentence to the well do-to looking man than you're hit from behind and ganged up by his 6 bodyguards and left lying in the filthy stoned streets of the Plaza.
[22:36] <@BradGM> ((Gossip Ulrich))
[22:37] <Ulrich> (that was unexpected..)
[22:37] <@BradGM> Alexi/Siluvaine, roll Survival.
[22:37] <Ulrich> !dhroll 37
[22:37] <Diceling> Ulrich: 41 Failure by 0 degrees!
[22:37] <@BradGM> ((Gossip is like inquiry, or just talkin to people to get rumours and small talk and such))
[22:37] <+Siluvaine> ((I don't have it))
[22:37] <Ulrich> (well atleast i didn't get beat to hell)
[22:37] <@BradGM> Ulrich, no one cares.
[22:38] <Ulrich> "good job, you almost found your doom!"
[22:38] <+Aithorn> ((Sil, then untrained Int, it's a basic skill))
[22:38] <+Siluvaine> ((oh. heh, sorry. I have it listed under Outdoor survival lol))
[22:38] <@BradGM> ((Edgerrin; you don't loose any wounds or anything, it's just a 6 DoF rolls, got to have some sort of consequence, and it,s too rich a sector to have rotten fruit flying))
[22:39] <+Siluvaine> ((Basics are half, or -20?))

[22:39] <+Aithorn> ((half))

[22:39] <Diceling> Siluvaine: 7 Success by 1 degree!
[22:39] <Ulrich> (you would think that bodyguards would have a little more ah, fear, of a troll slayer)
[22:42] * Ulrich comes helps Edge up off the filthy ground "lets go ask the Sigmar temple, these people are rude and arrogent, that is no way to treat a dwarf."
[22:42] <@BradGM> Siluvaine, you go toward the Merchant's sector remembering the buildings as you horse over the crowd. Alexi, you follow Siluvaine and have no idea where you are now, if only across three or four rivers- or maybe it was a couple of islands on the reik?
[22:44] * +Aithorn brushes some dust off of Edgerrin's clothes.
[22:44] <+Alexi> Bah, vill alvays be able to qvestion peoples for vay bek
[22:45] * +Siluvaine continues along, looking much dapper in her clothes, and a mask made from red leather and lace concealing her features.
[22:47] <@BradGM> You arrive at Saer's 6 story house, it almost looks new as well.
[22:49] * +Siluvaine glances up. "Impressive." She pulls out the letter of introduction, makes sure she has the right one and looks for a way to knock or signal for admittence.
[22:50] <+Alexi> "Hy suppose so."
[22:51] <@BradGM> You pull a rope that rings a bell somewhere in the house. A few moments later, a beautiful woman in well-fitted servant's clothings opens, and is taking a little aback by your masked aprerance. "Oh..yes, can I help you?"
[22:52] <Ulrich> "so where to now? I dont fancy talking to these people again"
[22:52] <Ulrich> "move on and try to ask somewhere else?"
[22:53] <@BradGM> Edge/Ulrich, you return to the Temple of Sigmar; roll again with a +10 for the Mark, +10 for bein initiate/Dwarf, so +20 total.
[22:53] * +Siluvaine extends the letter. "Greetings, we're here to see Master Saer. We have a letter of introduction from Lord Frederick."
[22:55] <@BradGM> Servant "Oh, Lord Frederik, yes, please come in and wait in the hall while I bring your letter to Master Saer."
[22:55] <@Edgerrin> ((Fel roll?))
[22:55] <@BradGM> ((yes gossip roll again))

[22:56] <Ulrich> (they dont like me)
[22:56] <@Edgerrin> (good u can get kicked this time)
[22:56] * +Siluvaine nods and dismounts, heading inside.
[22:57] * +Alexi follows her
[23:01] <@BradGM> Edgerrin, you find a Apse chapel dedicated to Dwarven Gods, there, the sigmarite Priest tending to it tells you about the Dwarven community being centered on the Southern Bank (this side of the river) past the Imperial fortress, near the Remparts. Aithorn, an Elf asking about the Dwarven quarter? Ha! That's a gud'un.. Ulrich, a Priest comes to see you and tells you to stop bothering the faithful with questions and why are you not doing your chores? Roll Charm to talk your way out of this. +10
[23:02] <Ulrich> !dhroll 47

[23:02] <Ulrich> (that was close...)
[23:03] <@BradGM> Alexi/Sil. A couple of minutes later, the servant woman comes back, "Please follow me. but Master Saer would prefer to see his visitor's face, as simple politness, he wishes that you'd understand."
[23:03] <@BradGM> Ulrich you cook up and story and get awayvthis time.
[23:05] <+Alexi> "Hoo, dis Saer kin see my face under my hat chust fine."
[23:05] * +Siluvaine nods and removes the mask. "Of course. Please, lead the way."
[23:06] <Ulrich> "Edge, lets go, before they try to drag me back to duties i may not be able to talk my way out of again.."
[23:06] <@BradGM> Servant "Oh, your headwear seems quite acceptable sir. Pleae follow me."
[23:07] * @Edgerrin nods
[23:09] <@BradGM> You are taken into and up into the house. The decroration is centered around women and the female form, but everything is quite tasteful and equisite. You also cross numerous other servant, all beautiful woman as well. You then arrive to the roof, into a small private garden where a good-looking man in his early 40s dresssed in the lastest fashion is slurbing a green liquid from a small glass.
[23:09] * +Siluvaine follows along, glancing around the building as she does.
[23:10] <@BradGM> ((*slurping))
[23:11] <@BradGM> Servant "Your visitors, Sir."
[23:12] * +Siluvaine is doubly glad she didn't bring the rest of the party.
[23:13] <+Aithorn> ((Pff, I can slurp with the greatest of sofistikatun))
[23:13] <@BradGM> Saer gets up and blows to you both, catching a good glimpse of Alexi's hat and Siluvaine. "Welcome to my humble home. Maximilian Saer, Saer Imperial Imports. And who may you be, misss..?
[23:13] <Ulrich> (blows?)
[23:14] <@BradGM> ((bows))
[23:14] <+Siluvaine> Siluvaine of Marienburg."
[23:15] <@BradGM> He hand kisses you before turning his attention toward Alexi.
[23:17] <@BradGM> Saer "And you sir?"
[23:17] * +Siluvaine smiles and nods her head in greeting.
[23:17] <+Alexi> "Hy yam Alexi Kunzetov of Kislev." Alexi nods his head
[23:18] <@BradGM> Saer Nods back a you
[23:20] <@BradGM> Saer "Do sit down, have a glass of Crème de Menthe. Leave it to the Bretonians to invent a liquor so sweet it is a desset onto itself."
[23:21] <@BradGM> ((and ok if we stop it here?))
[23:22] <+Siluvaine> (That's fine..good to play again!))

ULRICH AND EDGERRIN AT THE TEMPLE OF SIGMAR
[20:25] <BradGM> Hoffer takes you both to his chambers, a unfurnished room with only a simple bed, table and 2 chairs. The only thing of value would be his Ordo Fidelis Armour and weapons racked in a corner, and the small Sigmarite sigil. "Please, sit down."
[20:26] * Ulrich sits and looks around. "you give a new meaning to sparse living"
[20:26] * Elttaes (Elttaes@61.sub-84-853-832.myvzw.com) has joined #TempleofSigmar

[20:27] <Ulrich> (hehe)
[20:27] <Ulrich> (dwarves dont breed!!)
[20:27] * Elttaes is now known as Edgerrin
[20:27] <Edgerrin> ((tell my wife that))
[20:27] <Ulrich> (brad said they do but i dont beleive it! they pop out of old stones)

[20:35] <BradGM> Hoffer "What news since our last encounter? Apart from your initiation in Our Faith."
[20:37] <Ulrich> "well, look for another peice of the big puzzle here"
[20:38] <BradGM> Hoffer "Bigger puzzle?"
[20:38] <Ulrich> "this time just as last a Gods Damned artifact of singularly demonic nature"
[20:38] * Edgerrin looks around for something to drink
[20:39] <Ulrich> "what could go wrong right?"
[20:40] <Ulrich> "but it seemed rather important and none of us are lords so we couldn't exactly refuse this dubious honor even if we wanted too"
[20:40] <BradGM> Edgerrin there is nothing to drink in the room. Ulrich, Hoffer raises his finger at you. "Watch your tongue in this place, initiate! The nature of the artefact is no reason to blaspheme."
[20:41] <Ulrich> "you misunderstand, it is a "damned" artifact"
[20:41] * Edgerrin rolls his eyes.
[20:41] <Edgerrin> (no gratatude)
[20:42] <BradGM> He narrows his eyes "explain this.."
[20:42] <Ulrich> "is it safe to say more here?"
[20:43] <BradGM> Hoffer "Speak freely, no one will listen but us and Sigmar."
[20:44] <Ulrich> "its a dagger i believe, but cursed or tanted, or demonicly possessed"
[20:44] <Ulrich> "we don't know as we have not found it yet but it is evil to say the least"
[20:44] <Ulrich> "somewhere in this city someone has it we believe"
[20:45] <Ulrich> "Last we knew of its location brought us here looking to obtain it how ever possible and have it destroyed"
[20:46] <BradGM> ((Just to speed things up; would you share all you know with him or not?))
[20:47] <Ulrich> (yeah i tell him everything"
[20:47] <Ulrich> )
[20:47] * Ulrich tells the whole story to him
[20:47] <Ulrich> "and that leaves us here now"
[20:48] * Edgerrin sits patiently twiddling his thumbs
[20:49] <Ulrich> "you have nothing to drink? this definetely requires Ale and my friend looks parched"
[20:50] <Edgerrin> "Tis be off topic, but ye ever 'ear of a runesmith named Kargun gorilsson?"
[20:50] <BradGM> Hoffer "a Dagger you say? How did you learned of this? Where in the city is it? Who has it now? How.." He bombards you with questions, as expected from a Witch Hunter, and answers them all as you tell him what you know. He rubs his chin for a few seconds. "Unfortunately, I cannot help you, officially, as I am resting at the moment. But I do know of a collegue who may be more flexible with his assistance than I at the moment. If you do not find concern in asking for a With hunter's help?"
[20:50] <Edgerrin> "I be good, Ulrich. We can git sum nurishment when we go."
[20:51] <BradGM> !dhroll 52
[20:51] <@Diceling> BradGM: 51 Success by 0 degrees!
[20:51] * Ulrich nods at Edge
[20:51] <Ulrich> "its better than nothing and in this instance more than apt to help
[20:51] <BradGM> Hoffer "Yes, quite the Talented Artisant from what I've heard. He's got a workshop somewhere toward Nuln I heard.."
[20:52] <Ulrich> "
[20:52] <Edgerrin> "Nuln. Damn wuz told e wuz 'ere"
[20:52] <Edgerrin> "oh well"
[20:54] <BradGM> ((In the Reikland; that's the province.))
[20:55] <Ulrich> "as a withc Hunter this is more in your specialization than ours, although we have managed not to grow any extra arms or toes and lived so far"
[20:55] * Ulrich smiles
[20:55] <BradGM> Hoffer does not
[20:56] <BradGM> Hoffer "I will write you a letter, that should ease the introductions."
[20:56] <Edgerrin> "Thank ye"
[20:56] <Ulrich> "thank you, Sir"
[20:57] <BradGM> He writes you a letter of introduction for a certain Gottri Hammelfist, living in the popular sector north of Altdrof University."
[20:57] <Ulrich> "I hope your rest is well received, you have earned some i think"
[20:58] <BradGM> Hoffer "Merely in body; my mind is ever vigilent."
[20:59] <BradGM> He gives you the letter-who takes it?
[21:00] <Edgerrin> ((leaves that to Ulrich. He's likely to bite my hand off))
[21:00] * Ulrich looks at Edge.."i'll take it"
[21:00] <Ulrich> (lol thinking the same thing!)
[21:00] <BradGM> Hoffer "I would also ask to be kept informed. I know little poeple here, by I will neverthless verifiy with what contacts I have."
[21:00] <BradGM> Hoffer "Where can you be reached?"
[21:01] <Ulrich> "Ah, where are we staying agian dwarf?"
[21:01] <Ulrich> "this city confuses my senses especially my sense or smell"
[21:02] <Edgerrin> "I beleiove we be at t' Imperial Inn"
[21:02] <Ulrich> "Would the Local Sigmar Temple be to your liking? It would definetely be more secure"
[21:03] <Edgerrin> (asking me?)
[21:03] <Ulrich> (nope the guy with the postol and pointy hat)
[21:03] <Ulrich> (pistol)
[21:03] <Edgerrin> (ok)
[21:04] <BradGM> Hoffer "The Temple is no Inn. I shall send a messsage if I ever need your presence."
[21:05] <Ulrich> "we are at the Inn as he says, anthing sensitive I would rought through the Sigmar temple though, Inns have ears and eyes that wander where they should not."
[21:06] <Ulrich> "a minor inconvience but I would rather not tip off our hand to anyone or in this case anything that is involved."
[21:07] <BradGM> Hoffer "Yes, thank you for this invaluable tip, initiate. It will surely serve me well in the future."
[21:07] <BradGM> Hoffer raises his arm toward the door "now, it you please gentlemen.."
[21:07] <Ulrich> "thank you, Sir Hoffer, your help is much appriciated."
[21:07] * Ulrich nudges Ege, "lets go"
[21:08] <Edgerrin> "Aye"
[21:08] <Ulrich> (hoffer is rather sarcastic for a witch hunter)
[21:08] <BradGM> ((good thnig Ulrich is there to give pointers to the experienced witch Hunter hahaha))
[21:08] <Ulrich> (lol)
[21:09] <Edgerrin> (we outside))
[21:09] <Edgerrin> (?)
[21:09] <Ulrich> (he may be experience, but he may not be worried about my neck on the chopping block)
[21:09] <Ulrich> (probably not worried at all about that actually)
[21:10] <Ulrich> (yup outside)
[21:10] <BradGM> ((ewell, your mark sorta helped your caause, hence why you're not on the block right now))
[21:10] <Ulrich> "where to my short broad friend?"
[21:10] <Edgerrin> "That man be a regular 'orses arse"
[21:11] <Edgerrin> "Ta find the others?"
[21:11] <Ulrich> "indeed, but I imagine the job does that to a person"
[21:11] <Ulrich> "sure, if we can in this whore filled city"
[21:12] <Ulrich> "or we can go have a drink?"
[21:12] <BradGM> !dhroll 45
[21:12] <@Diceling> BradGM: 19 Success by 2 degrees!
[21:12] * Ulrich grins at Edge
[21:12] <BradGM> Gasps abound around you tat the wording of "whore" Ulrich!
[21:13] <Ulrich> (lol)
[21:13] * Ulrich looks around
[21:13] <Ulrich> "what?"
[21:13] * Ulrich ignores the pretence
[21:14] <BradGM> random Voice "How provincial!"
[21:14] <Ulrich> "want to get a drink or find the others first friend?"
[21:14] <Edgerrin> "I could use a drink"
[21:14] <Ulrich> (uppity in this city arent they? I'm going to have some fun with that ;) )
[21:14] <Ulrich> 'DRINK IT IS!"
[21:16] <BradGM> Back to the Imperial Inn then?**
[21:16] <Ulrich> (yup, with a few cracks at the locals about being "provincial" along the way)
[21:17] <BradGM> ((heh..return to #shadowrun then))
[20:15] <BradGM> Taking a room at the Imperial Inn, the party decided to split in two the next morning; Ulrich and Edgerrin would go to the Temple of Sigmar, while the others would contact Lord Frederik, returning to the Imperial Inn around midday to exchange findings.
[20:15] <BradGM> Then, a street urchin gave Ulrich a sealed letter. Dismissing the boy, he opened it to have a deamon appear in front of them! Despite the horror of the patrons, it was quickly killed, and Siluvaine managed to con the owner by selling his staff a hundred fold its value. The letter revealed nothing, short of a small skull motif made out of blood; the Symbol of the Cult of The Crimson Skull.
[20:15] <BradGM> . Next morning, Ulrich and Edgerrin arrived at the majestic Temple of Sigmar. Entering the Holy Palace, the duo was accosted by Mathias Hoffer, Templar of the Ordo Fidelis, pressing the Man about his robes. Upon learning of the barber-surgeon’s turn toward Sigmar, the Witch Hunter guided them to his private chambers to discuss further.
[20:15] <BradGM> . Meanwhile, the remainder of the Party made contact with Lord Frederik in his sumptuous Walled Estate. They were taken to his Study where Aithorn quickly went to business discussing the Party’s tales against the many Forces of Chaos you encountered, sparing no details, even embellishing a few duller victories and deaths, to the Aristocrat’s great interest and pleasure.
[20:15] <BradGM> Ulrich and Edgerrin, move to #TempleofSigmar
[20:17] <Ulrich> (ok)
[20:17] * Siluvaine glances around. "As you can understand, any help you may be able to provide would be most useful."
[20:20] <BradGM> Lord Frederik " Of course; I just so happen to have a good freidn of mine being a former witch Hunter. she may prove useful to your quest."
[20:20] * Siluvaine considers that statement for a few moments. "Former?"
[20:21] * Aithorn blurts out "Witch Hunter?"
[20:22] * Siluvaine glances at Aithorn.
[20:23] <BradGM> Fred "Yes, she retired a decade ago, quite the adventuring type as well; I'll write you a letter of recommendation for you, id you'd deisre one."
[20:23] <Siluvaine> "That would be very helpful I'm sure."
[20:25] * Aithorn bows slightly, "Thank you. Perhaps later we will be able to tell you how this tale ends."
[20:26] * Elttaes sets mode: +o BradGM
[20:26] * Elttaes sets mode: +vv Aithorn Alexi
[20:26] * Elttaes sets mode: +vv Siluvaine Ulrich
[20:27] * Elttaes is now known as Edgerrin
[20:28] <@BradGM> Lord Frederik writes you a letter of recommendation (who takes it?) for his ex-WitchHunter firned, Theodora Pferig, who lives across the river in the popular sector of the City.
[20:29] <+Aithorn> "Do you know where this friend lives? Or where we can find her? We have only recently come to the city."
[20:30] <+Siluvaine> "Oh, would you know of any weapon shops that specialize in the higher end merchandise?"
[20:30] * +Siluvaine take the letter.
[20:32] <@BradGM> Lord Fred "Yes; Go to the Imperial Palace, then toward the River toward the Imperial fortress. Then across it, it should be a little to your left starting from the side door of the University's Libreary."
[20:34] <@BradGM> Fred "I do not know much about weapons shops, but I am familiar with a merchant who sponsor adventuring parties and young wizards. He too shares my views regarding chaos in this world and how we must act agaisnt it. He eveng ave me a good price on my exterior furniture, in season, form waht he told me."
[20:35] <+Siluvaine> "Ah, that could be very helpful."
[20:37] <+Aithorn> "Indeed, it would"
[20:37] <@BradGM> He writes you an introductionary letter for a certain Maximilian Saer "He is very into fashion and appearances, I would recommend dressing your best when you meet him."
[20:38] <@BradGM> He also gives you indication to his home, a 6 story house in ther Merchant's sector.
[20:41] <+Siluvaine> "Of course. Thank you very much for your help. If we see Dieter Klemperer again, do you have a message for him?"
[20:41] <+Siluvaine> ((Brb))
[20:42] <@BradGM> Lord Frederik "Oh no, I should see him during my monthly visit to the Bocage club.."
[20:46] <+Aithorn> !dhroll 25
[20:46] <Diceling> Aithorn: 22 Success by 0 degrees!
[20:47] <@BradGM> ((??))
[20:48] <+Aithorn> ((Common knowledge empire to see if i mis-remember what a bocage is)) "What is a Bocage? It seems dwarven?"
[20:51] * +Siluvaine nods and tucks th second letter away as well. "Of course, thank you. If its possible, I'm sure we'll be able to let you know how it all turns out."
[20:54] <@BradGM> Frederik "Not quite my friend. It is a Bretonnian method of seperating fields by spliting them with earth banks with vegetation on top."
[20:55] <@BradGM> Fred "The Bocage club is an academician and scientician's club."
[20:56] <+Aithorn> "Interesting, I have seen hedges like those, but I didn't know their name."
[20:59] <@BradGM> Lord Frederik smiles a little "well, pardon me for saying I'd never though I'd teach an Elf anything.."
[21:00] * +Siluvaine thinks that Aithorn has just ruined 10,000 years of elven superiority! Or not.
[21:02] <+Aithorn> ((Elven superiority? You've clearly not been paying attention to my dice rolls... EVER...))
[21:03] <+Siluvaine> ((heh))
[21:05] <@BradGM> Fred "Now, not to be a bother, but I have an appointment to go to."
[21:06] * +Siluvaine nods. "Of course, thank you again for your assistance."
[21:07] <+Aithorn> "Naturally, thank you for your time."
[21:08] * +Siluvaine heads off, presumably following the servant out.
[21:08] * +Aithorn follows along with Sil
[21:09] * +Siluvaine waits until they're out and back on the street, horses and all. "So. More letters."
[21:10] <@BradGM> Yes, the butler takes you back to the front door and outside to the walled estate, where the stench seems far away, but still like a back draft...*
[21:11] <@BradGM> And outside, the street's noise and smell hits you again.
[21:12] * +Siluvaine grimaces and holds up a cloth stuffed with herbs. "So. The witchhunter, the weapons or try to find the others?"
[21:12] <+Aithorn> "Aye, more letters. Hopefully these don't say "Arrest the bearers""
[21:13] <@BradGM> For those who can read, so siluvaine, no.
[21:14] <+Siluvaine> ((heh))
[21:14] * +Siluvaine shakes her head. "Not that unlucky."
[21:14] <+Aithorn> "The others for now, I have no desire to meet more Witch Hunters who may not be as noble as the last, and we will Alexi and his hats to meet the merchant."
[21:14] <@BradGM> It is about 10:30/11 or so. you do plan on gathering at the Imperial Inn to exchange findings.
[21:15] * +Siluvaine nods and starts to head back towards the Inn.
[21:18] <@BradGM> You return at the Imperial Inn; Edgerrin and Ulrich are already present. Edgerrin seems to drink like someone who walked across a desert.
[21:18] * +Ulrich belch's loudly
[21:19] <+Aithorn> ((So basically, like any other dwarf))
[21:19] <+Siluvaine> "I'm not sure if this is their natural state, or if we've got problems."
[21:19] <+Alexi> "Vy not heff both?"
[21:20] <+Aithorn> "The first does not exclude the second"
[21:20] * +Ulrich whispers to Edge "wait until they sit down next to us, and then fart loudly"
[21:20] <@BradGM> In short order, you all get drinks and decent food (reg prices)
[21:20] * +Ulrich grins evily
[21:20] <+Aithorn> ((please, like the dwarf can compete with the stench in the streets...))
[21:21] <+Ulrich> (who cares, im sure it would be funny)
[21:21] <@BradGM> ((yeah it might even make the place stink less))
[21:21] <@BradGM> !roll 1d10 current smell is
[21:21] <Diceling> BradGM, current smell is: 9
[21:21] <+Ulrich> (oh, that cant be good)
[21:21] <@BradGM> ... smell like Leatherworks.
[21:22] <+Ulrich> "it doesn't smell that bad today, smells a little like home"
[21:24] <@BradGM> ((heh, yeah for ow!))
[21:24] <@BradGM> ((now..))
[21:24] <+Ulrich> "so, what did you guys find?"
[21:24] * +Siluvaine shakes her head. "More letters. A suggestion for a..former Witch hunter. And someplace to get weapons."
[21:25] <+Aithorn> "And why it's better to have a walled estate."
[21:27] * +Siluvaine nods. "That too."
[21:28] <+Ulrich> "interesting"
[21:28] <@BradGM> ((hey, you got a Middenheim house; it's still something..))
[21:28] <+Siluvaine> "How were the temples?"
[21:29] <+Aithorn> ((yeah, it's great and all, but Middenheim doesn't have Altdorf's... bouquet...))
[21:29] <@BradGM> ((the price of cosmopolitanism))
[21:30] <@BradGM> ((..and being build at the crossing of 2 rivers..))
[21:30] <+Ulrich> "we ran in to an, ah, friend
[21:30] <+Ulrich> "
[21:31] <+Ulrich> "Hoffer"
[21:31] <+Aithorn> "Did he say why he was here?"
[21:32] <+Ulrich> "the closest thing I think they get to Holidays"
[21:32] <+Ulrich> "or vacation"
[21:32] * +Siluvaine looks skeptical.
[21:33] <+Ulrich> "who knows with them"
[21:33] <+Ulrich> "he could be following the same trail for all we know:
[21:33] <+Ulrich> "
[21:34] <+Aithorn> "Or keeping an eye on us, it is still good to know if we need a hand."
[21:36] <+Ulrich> "indeed"
[21:36] <+Siluvaine> "What did the priests say?"
[21:36] <+Ulrich> "we did not get that far"
[21:37] <+Ulrich> "we did get this though"
[21:37] * +Ulrich hands her the note
[21:38] * +Siluvaine reads the note, half expecting another demon to pop out.
[21:38] <@BradGM> The note is actually a letter of introduction for a certain Gottri Hammelfist, living north of Altdorf University. He is a witch Hunter.
[21:38] <+Ulrich> "damn demons only pop out on me?"
[21:38] <@BradGM> Is it signed and sealed by Mathias hoffer, Templar of the Ordo Fidelis.
[21:40] * +Siluvaine frowns slightly. "Its another letter of introduction. To another hunter."
[21:40] <@BradGM> ((Oh, how I am smiling and laughing right now..poor adventurers...))
[21:40] <+Ulrich> "tis not like we couldn't use more from what i remember of last time"
[21:41] <+Aithorn> "Unless we got lucky that we met 3 noble hearted individuals who had bigger things to deal with than 5 wanderers."
[21:42] <@BradGM> ((well, technically, you did investigated their dead comrade, so they were sorta chasing you...)
[21:44] * MordentHex (MordentHex@119.41.hju.jx) has joined #shadowrun
[21:44] <MordentHex> ( that was wierd, damned chinese internet!!)
[21:44] <MordentHex> (boot Ulrich so i can take his spot)
[21:45] * MordentHex gives Ulrich a clout round the head with a fresh copy of HydraIRC
[21:45] * MordentHex instructs a pet piranha to munch on Ulrich's shoulder blades
[21:45] * Ulrich was kicked by BradGM (Ulrich)
[21:46] * MordentHex is now known as Ulrich
[21:46] <Ulrich> "so what do we do?"
[21:46] * Ulrich sips his beer
[21:47] <+Siluvaine> "Well, I guess we either talk to the Priests or the retired hunters first."
[21:48] <+Siluvaine> "Though I need to do some shopping first."
[21:49] <Ulrich> "for?"
[21:49] <@BradGM> ((shopping for high end weapon? like a fancier piece of wood/staff?))
[21:49] <+Siluvaine> "To replace my demon-slaying weapon of course."
[21:50] <Ulrich> "ah, i guess we could look around, its a big city after all"
[21:50] <@BradGM> Oh yes; the owner is busy hanging the table Alexi plit and Siluvaine's quarterstaff on the wall.
[21:50] <+Aithorn> ((The Priests? We've got 2 witch hunters and a merchant to visit, who else?))
[21:50] <Ulrich> "but couldn't you just go find a stick somewhere?"
[21:51] * +Siluvaine doesn't respond to that.
[21:52] <+Siluvaine> ((well, the dagger was last seen with one of Churches, so we've got letters to check things out there))
[21:53] <@BradGM> ((no, it was reported in altdorf for an oponent to some Ulrican you don't know about, it doens' t mean that either churches got it))
[21:53] <+Siluvaine> ((oh. Hmm))
[21:53] <@BradGM> ((for all you know, a beggar is using it to cut old cheese for his luncvh right now in the poo sector))
[21:53] <@BradGM> ((*poor))
[21:53] <@BradGM> ((yet again in here, there might just be a poo sector..)
[21:53] <+Aithorn> ((for his lunch right now in the smells-like-poo sector))
[21:54] <@BradGM> So, where to now then?))
[21:55] <@BradGM> So, where to now then?
[21:55] <Ulrich> ( i can see it now "demonic cheese sandwich")
[21:56] <+Siluvaine> ((Checking the logs again))
[21:58] <+Aithorn> "A retired witch hunter may be more willing to relive memories than one who still hunts. I would go see Pifferig"
[21:58] <@BradGM> Right now, you got Theodora Pferig, ex-Witch hunter; Gottri Hammelfist, Witch Hunter; Maximilian Saer, Merchant.
[22:02] <+Siluvaine> ((So we just have a note from an Ulrican priest, saying the dagger had been brought to Altdorf by "One of their rivals." I assumed that meant we should go to teh Temples and try to find out more information, or am I missing something?))
[22:04] <@BradGM> ((well, it's about 2 or 300 years old.))
[22:04] <@BradGM> ((OR perhaps a little less))
[22:05] * +Siluvaine shrugs. "I can go to the merchant while the rest check out Pferig."
[22:06] <@BradGM> ((It was a lead, and now you're trying to confirm it, but that info itself was buried somehwere in a dark corner at the Collegium, in the forbidden Library, so a slim chance for anyone to know somehting now))
[22:09] <Ulrich> (hmm)
[22:09] <@BradGM> ((hm?))
[22:09] <Ulrich> "works for me"
[22:10] <Ulrich> (sorry was ono the phone with the wife)
[22:10] <Ulrich> (oooh new Elvish word! ono!)
[22:11] <Ulrich> "or should we all stick together?"
[22:13] <Ulrich> (or did everyone fall asleep at the computer?)
[22:13] * +Siluvaine shrugs. "I don't know if we all have to stick together. It was suggested the merchant is of a more..refined...variety. But perhaps Ishould take someone else with me, if more demons were to appear."
[22:14] <Ulrich> "you mean if more pop out of perfectly good reading material?"
[22:15] * +Siluvaine shrugs. "Something like that."
[22:15] <@BradGM> ((that or whatever..))
[22:16] * +Siluvaine glances at Alexi and Aithorn.
[22:16] <+Aithorn> "Take Alexi, he can talk about the finer points of dress and accessories. The rest of us can handle Pferig"
[22:16] <Ulrich> "I may wish to do some shopping here as well. This is a magor city, could be easier to find supplies at a lower rate"
[22:17] <Ulrich> "which i may add is a good time to do before we get in over our heads again"
[22:17] <+Alexi> "Hy kin do dot. Dey dun know muc about proper hats here."
[22:18] <@Edgerrin> "I be wanting ta g=find a runesmith but da witchhunter told me that e' wuz between 'ere and Nukn."
[22:18] <@Edgerrin> (Nuln)
[22:19] <Ulrich> "i think that settles it then, we should spend today shopping and looking for this contact"
[22:19] <Ulrich> "Me and Ege can do our thing as usual"
[22:20] <Ulrich> "it would draw less attention if that possible"
[22:20] * +Siluvaine nods. "That's fine. Get two things done atleast."
[22:22] <Ulrich> "ok then, see ya later. Lets see what we can find me dear dwarf, and maybe a good doom for you inthe bargain?"
[22:22] * @Edgerrin grins and nods
[22:23] * Ulrich finish's his beer and belch's again
[22:24] <Ulrich> "Provencial"
[22:24] * +Siluvaine fails to avoid wincing.
[22:25] <@BradGM> ((So which contact are you looking for?))
[22:26] <Ulrich> (we will go find this guy for Ege first, he has been patient for the Church stuff)
[22:26] <+Siluvaine> ((Siluvaine will get changed and head for Mximillian Saer))
[22:26] <Ulrich> (after that we can wonder about looking for the important stuff)
[22:26] <Ulrich> (all work and no play makes life dull after all)
[22:27] <@Edgerrin> (according to the WH the smith is outside the city but he could be wrong)
[22:27] <@Edgerrin> "Duz anyone know if this town has a dwarves quater or artisan area?"
[22:28] <Ulrich> (well, up to you, lead the way with yoru stumpy legs!)
[22:29] <@BradGM> You'd know there's a merchant's sector; you walked in parts of it where you first arrived in Altdorf. As for a Dwarven Quarter, roll gossip.
[22:30] <@Edgerrin> !dhroll 7
[22:30] <Diceling> Edgerrin: 74 Failure by 6 degrees!
[22:31] <@Edgerrin> (I'll ask someone that looks inteeligemnt when i pass them))
[22:31] <@BradGM> Alexi, doing anything to get ready for meeting Saer?
[22:31] * +Siluvaine heads up stairs and changes into her best clothing and mask.
[22:31] <@BradGM> Aithorn, what/where are you doing?
[22:32] <+Aithorn> ((I'll go with Ulrich and Edge))
[22:32] <+Alexi> nothing special. Kossars are not known for saratorial displays (except for hats!)
[22:33] <@BradGM> Fate point Edge?
[22:33] <@BradGM> Oh- snce we've haven't played in a while, your Fate points are all reloaded.
[22:34] <@Edgerrin> (9Hell no))
[22:34] <Ulrich> (i'll ask around)
[22:34] <@Edgerrin> ((be awaste of a roll))
[22:35] <Ulrich> (I got Gossip, Charm and a good speak language skills, what do i need to roll?)
[22:36] <@BradGM> You haven't begun to start your sentence to the well do-to looking man than you're hit from behind and ganged up by his 6 bodyguards and left lying in the filthy stoned streets of the Plaza.
[22:36] <@BradGM> ((Gossip Ulrich))
[22:37] <Ulrich> (that was unexpected..)
[22:37] <@BradGM> Alexi/Siluvaine, roll Survival.
[22:37] <Ulrich> !dhroll 37
[22:37] <Diceling> Ulrich: 41 Failure by 0 degrees!
[22:37] <@BradGM> ((Gossip is like inquiry, or just talkin to people to get rumours and small talk and such))
[22:37] <+Siluvaine> ((I don't have it))
[22:37] <Ulrich> (well atleast i didn't get beat to hell)
[22:37] <@BradGM> Ulrich, no one cares.
[22:38] <Ulrich> "good job, you almost found your doom!"
[22:38] <+Aithorn> ((Sil, then untrained Int, it's a basic skill))
[22:38] <+Siluvaine> ((oh. heh, sorry. I have it listed under Outdoor survival lol))
[22:38] <@BradGM> ((Edgerrin; you don't loose any wounds or anything, it's just a 6 DoF rolls, got to have some sort of consequence, and it,s too rich a sector to have rotten fruit flying))
[22:39] <+Siluvaine> ((Basics are half, or -20?))
[22:39] <+Alexi> !dhroll 31
[22:39] <+Aithorn> ((half))
[22:39] <Diceling> Alexi: 81 Failure by 5 degrees!

[22:39] <+Alexi> ((voops!))
[22:39] <+Siluvaine> !dhroll 25
[22:39] <Diceling> Siluvaine: 7 Success by 1 degree!
[22:39] <Ulrich> (you would think that bodyguards would have a little more ah, fear, of a troll slayer)
[22:42] * Ulrich comes helps Edge up off the filthy ground "lets go ask the Sigmar temple, these people are rude and arrogent, that is no way to treat a dwarf."
[22:42] <@BradGM> Siluvaine, you go toward the Merchant's sector remembering the buildings as you horse over the crowd. Alexi, you follow Siluvaine and have no idea where you are now, if only across three or four rivers- or maybe it was a couple of islands on the reik?
[22:44] * +Aithorn brushes some dust off of Edgerrin's clothes.
[22:44] <+Alexi> Bah, vill alvays be able to qvestion peoples for vay bek
[22:45] * +Siluvaine continues along, looking much dapper in her clothes, and a mask made from red leather and lace concealing her features.
[22:47] <@BradGM> You arrive at Saer's 6 story house, it almost looks new as well.
[22:49] * +Siluvaine glances up. "Impressive." She pulls out the letter of introduction, makes sure she has the right one and looks for a way to knock or signal for admittence.
[22:50] <+Alexi> "Hy suppose so."
[22:51] <@BradGM> You pull a rope that rings a bell somewhere in the house. A few moments later, a beautiful woman in well-fitted servant's clothings opens, and is taking a little aback by your masked aprerance. "Oh..yes, can I help you?"
[22:52] <Ulrich> "so where to now? I dont fancy talking to these people again"
[22:52] <Ulrich> "move on and try to ask somewhere else?"
[22:53] <@BradGM> Edge/Ulrich, you return to the Temple of Sigmar; roll again with a +10 for the Mark, +10 for bein initiate/Dwarf, so +20 total.
[22:53] * +Siluvaine extends the letter. "Greetings, we're here to see Master Saer. We have a letter of introduction from Lord Frederick."
[22:55] <@BradGM> Servant "Oh, Lord Frederik, yes, please come in and wait in the hall while I bring your letter to Master Saer."
[22:55] <@Edgerrin> ((Fel roll?))
[22:55] <@BradGM> ((yes gossip roll again))

[22:56] <Diceling> Ulrich: 89 Failure by 3 degrees!
[22:56] <Ulrich> (they dont like me)
[22:56] <@Edgerrin> (good u can get kicked this time)
[22:56] * +Siluvaine nods and dismounts, heading inside.
[22:57] * +Alexi follows her
[23:01] <@BradGM> Edgerrin, you find a Apse chapel dedicated to Dwarven Gods, there, the sigmarite Priest tending to it tells you about the Dwarven community being centered on the Southern Bank (this side of the river) past the Imperial fortress, near the Remparts. Aithorn, an Elf asking about the Dwarven quarter? Ha! That's a gud'un.. Ulrich, a Priest comes to see you and tells you to stop bothering the faithful with questions and why are you not doing your chores? Roll Charm to talk your way out of this. +10
[23:02] <Ulrich> !dhroll 47

[23:02] <Diceling> Ulrich: 41 Success by 0 degrees!
[23:02] <Ulrich> (that was close...)
[23:03] <@BradGM> Alexi/Sil. A couple of minutes later, the servant woman comes back, "Please follow me. but Master Saer would prefer to see his visitor's face, as simple politness, he wishes that you'd understand."
[23:03] <@BradGM> Ulrich you cook up and story and get awayvthis time.
[23:05] <+Alexi> "Hoo, dis Saer kin see my face under my hat chust fine."
[23:05] * +Siluvaine nods and removes the mask. "Of course. Please, lead the way."
[23:06] <Ulrich> "Edge, lets go, before they try to drag me back to duties i may not be able to talk my way out of again.."
[23:06] <@BradGM> Servant "Oh, your headwear seems quite acceptable sir. Pleae follow me."
[23:07] * @Edgerrin nods
[23:09] <@BradGM> You are taken into and up into the house. The decroration is centered around women and the female form, but everything is quite tasteful and equisite. You also cross numerous other servant, all beautiful woman as well. You then arrive to the roof, into a small private garden where a good-looking man in his early 40s dresssed in the lastest fashion is slurbing a green liquid from a small glass.
[23:09] * +Siluvaine follows along, glancing around the building as she does.
[23:10] <@BradGM> ((*slurping))
[23:11] <@BradGM> Servant "Your visitors, Sir."
[23:12] * +Siluvaine is doubly glad she didn't bring the rest of the party.
[23:13] <+Aithorn> ((Pff, I can slurp with the greatest of sofistikatun))
[23:13] <@BradGM> Saer gets up and blows to you both, catching a good glimpse of Alexi's hat and Siluvaine. "Welcome to my humble home. Maximilian Saer, Saer Imperial Imports. And who may you be, misss..?
[23:13] <Ulrich> (blows?)
[23:14] <@BradGM> ((bows))
[23:14] <+Siluvaine> Siluvaine of Marienburg."
[23:15] <@BradGM> He hand kisses you before turning his attention toward Alexi.
[23:17] <@BradGM> Saer "And you sir?"
[23:17] * +Siluvaine smiles and nods her head in greeting.
[23:17] <+Alexi> "Hy yam Alexi Kunzetov of Kislev." Alexi nods his head
[23:18] <@BradGM> Saer Nods back a you
[23:20] <@BradGM> Saer "Do sit down, have a glass of Crème de Menthe. Leave it to the Bretonians to invent a liquor so sweet it is a desset onto itself."
[23:21] <@BradGM> ((and ok if we stop it here?))
[23:22] <+Siluvaine> (That's fine..good to play again!))
[23:22] <+Aithorn> ((yeah, great to play again

ULRICH AND EDGERRIN AT THE TEMPLE OF SIGMAR
[20:25] <BradGM> Hoffer takes you both to his chambers, a unfurnished room with only a simple bed, table and 2 chairs. The only thing of value would be his Ordo Fidelis Armour and weapons racked in a corner, and the small Sigmarite sigil. "Please, sit down."
[20:26] * Ulrich sits and looks around. "you give a new meaning to sparse living"
[20:26] * Elttaes (Elttaes@61.sub-84-853-832.myvzw.com) has joined #TempleofSigmar

[20:26] <BradGM> ((Didn't missed much, and hi!))
[20:27] <Elttaes> (got my kids. trying to get them fed so i'm going to be away a lot to start
[20:27] <Ulrich> (hehe)
[20:27] <Ulrich> (dwarves dont breed!!)
[20:27] * Elttaes is now known as Edgerrin
[20:27] <Edgerrin> ((tell my wife that))
[20:27] <Ulrich> (brad said they do but i dont beleive it! they pop out of old stones)
[20:28] <Ulrich> (im going to have a smoke really fast.)
[20:31] <Edgerrin> ((hmmm more witvh hunters))
[20:32] <BradGM> ((bwahahahah!))
[20:32] <Ulrich> (ok)
[20:35] <Edgerrin> (guys go ahead an move on. I'll be back in forth until i get them fed and in fornt of the TV))
[20:35] <BradGM> Hoffer "What news since our last encounter? Apart from your initiation in Our Faith."
[20:37] <Ulrich> "well, look for another peice of the big puzzle here"
[20:38] <BradGM> Hoffer "Bigger puzzle?"
[20:38] <Ulrich> "this time just as last a Gods Damned artifact of singularly demonic nature"
[20:38] * Edgerrin looks around for something to drink
[20:39] <Ulrich> "what could go wrong right?"
[20:40] <Ulrich> "but it seemed rather important and none of us are lords so we couldn't exactly refuse this dubious honor even if we wanted too"
[20:40] <BradGM> Edgerrin there is nothing to drink in the room. Ulrich, Hoffer raises his finger at you. "Watch your tongue in this place, initiate! The nature of the artefact is no reason to blaspheme."
[20:41] <Ulrich> "you misunderstand, it is a "damned" artifact"
[20:41] * Edgerrin rolls his eyes.
[20:41] <Edgerrin> (no gratatude)
[20:42] <BradGM> He narrows his eyes "explain this.."
[20:42] <Ulrich> "is it safe to say more here?"
[20:43] <BradGM> Hoffer "Speak freely, no one will listen but us and Sigmar."
[20:44] <Ulrich> "its a dagger i believe, but cursed or tanted, or demonicly possessed"
[20:44] <Ulrich> "we don't know as we have not found it yet but it is evil to say the least"
[20:44] <Ulrich> "somewhere in this city someone has it we believe"
[20:45] <Ulrich> "Last we knew of its location brought us here looking to obtain it how ever possible and have it destroyed"
[20:46] <BradGM> ((Just to speed things up; would you share all you know with him or not?))
[20:47] <Ulrich> (yeah i tell him everything"
[20:47] <Ulrich> )
[20:47] * Ulrich tells the whole story to him
[20:47] <Ulrich> "and that leaves us here now"
[20:48] * Edgerrin sits patiently twiddling his thumbs
[20:49] <Ulrich> "you have nothing to drink? this definetely requires Ale and my friend looks parched"
[20:50] <Edgerrin> "Tis be off topic, but ye ever 'ear of a runesmith named Kargun gorilsson?"
[20:50] <BradGM> Hoffer "a Dagger you say? How did you learned of this? Where in the city is it? Who has it now? How.." He bombards you with questions, as expected from a Witch Hunter, and answers them all as you tell him what you know. He rubs his chin for a few seconds. "Unfortunately, I cannot help you, officially, as I am resting at the moment. But I do know of a collegue who may be more flexible with his assistance than I at the moment. If you do not find concern in asking for a With hunter's help?"
[20:50] <Edgerrin> "I be good, Ulrich. We can git sum nurishment when we go."
[20:51] <BradGM> !dhroll 52
[20:51] <@Diceling> BradGM: 51 Success by 0 degrees!
[20:51] * Ulrich nods at Edge
[20:51] <Ulrich> "its better than nothing and in this instance more than apt to help
[20:51] <BradGM> Hoffer "Yes, quite the Talented Artisant from what I've heard. He's got a workshop somewhere toward Nuln I heard.."
[20:52] <Ulrich> "
[20:52] <Edgerrin> "Nuln. Damn wuz told e wuz 'ere"
[20:52] <Edgerrin> "oh well"
[20:54] <BradGM> ((In the Reikland; that's the province.))
[20:55] <Ulrich> "as a withc Hunter this is more in your specialization than ours, although we have managed not to grow any extra arms or toes and lived so far"
[20:55] * Ulrich smiles
[20:55] <BradGM> Hoffer does not
[20:56] <BradGM> Hoffer "I will write you a letter, that should ease the introductions."
[20:56] <Edgerrin> "Thank ye"
[20:56] <Ulrich> "thank you, Sir"
[20:57] <BradGM> He writes you a letter of introduction for a certain Gottri Hammelfist, living in the popular sector north of Altdrof University."
[20:57] <Ulrich> "I hope your rest is well received, you have earned some i think"
[20:58] <BradGM> Hoffer "Merely in body; my mind is ever vigilent."
[20:59] <BradGM> He gives you the letter-who takes it?
[21:00] <Edgerrin> ((leaves that to Ulrich. He's likely to bite my hand off))
[21:00] * Ulrich looks at Edge.."i'll take it"
[21:00] <Ulrich> (lol thinking the same thing!)
[21:00] <BradGM> Hoffer "I would also ask to be kept informed. I know little poeple here, by I will neverthless verifiy with what contacts I have."
[21:00] <BradGM> Hoffer "Where can you be reached?"
[21:01] <Ulrich> "Ah, where are we staying agian dwarf?"
[21:01] <Ulrich> "this city confuses my senses especially my sense or smell"
[21:02] <Edgerrin> "I beleiove we be at t' Imperial Inn"
[21:02] <Ulrich> "Would the Local Sigmar Temple be to your liking? It would definetely be more secure"
[21:03] <Edgerrin> (asking me?)
[21:03] <Ulrich> (nope the guy with the postol and pointy hat)
[21:03] <Ulrich> (pistol)
[21:03] <Edgerrin> (ok)
[21:04] <BradGM> Hoffer "The Temple is no Inn. I shall send a messsage if I ever need your presence."
[21:05] <Ulrich> "we are at the Inn as he says, anthing sensitive I would rought through the Sigmar temple though, Inns have ears and eyes that wander where they should not."
[21:06] <Ulrich> "a minor inconvience but I would rather not tip off our hand to anyone or in this case anything that is involved."
[21:07] <BradGM> Hoffer "Yes, thank you for this invaluable tip, initiate. It will surely serve me well in the future."
[21:07] <BradGM> Hoffer raises his arm toward the door "now, it you please gentlemen.."
[21:07] <Ulrich> "thank you, Sir Hoffer, your help is much appriciated."
[21:07] * Ulrich nudges Ege, "lets go"
[21:08] <Edgerrin> "Aye"
[21:08] <Ulrich> (hoffer is rather sarcastic for a witch hunter)

[21:10] <Ulrich> (yup outside)
[21:10] <BradGM> ((ewell, your mark sorta helped your caause, hence why you're not on the block right now))
[21:10] <Ulrich> "where to my short broad friend?"
[21:10] <Edgerrin> "That man be a regular 'orses arse"
[21:11] <Edgerrin> "Ta find the others?"
[21:11] <Ulrich> "indeed, but I imagine the job does that to a person"
