[20:27] <@BradGM> With a far-fetched possibility that a method of destruction exists, the Party returned to the Imperial Inn, planning for the next day. Aithron and Edgerrin will meet WitchHunter Hoffer at the Temple of Sigmar to give him an update, and possibly get some assistance. Siluvaine wrote a nice letter to ask Illumintor Messner for access to the Light College’s Library for research. Waiting for an answer Alexi , Ulirch and she hit the stinking Docks to get some information about a Ulthuan-bound ship that left 8 to 10 weeks ago.
[20:28] <@BradGM> You reach the tatooed facial-sacarred foreman yelling with a small cone to his large crew unloading a large merchant vessel.
[20:34] * +Siluvaine glances around, looking at the merchant vessel (does it look Elven at all?))
[20:35] <@BradGM> No, it is a Imperial Vessel.
[20:37] * +Siluvaine frowns and considers the figure. "We need information." she says to him, hopefully at some point when he has a break in shouting.
[20:39] <@BradGM> The foreman double down at you "Whut?" *He looks at you up and down* "You ain't no law!"
[20:40] <+Alexi> "No, und hyu iz not in trubble, iz nozzing to vorry about."
[20:41] * +Siluvaine shakes her head. "I'm not, I just need information about a boat..or boats that go to Ulthuan."
[20:41] <@BradGM> Foreman "Ye, whut 'boot?"
[20:43] <+Siluvaine> 'Its aboot a boat."
[20:44] <+Aithorn> ((in a midwest accent, that's how you pronounce boat))
[20:45] <@BradGM> Foreman "'Know dat'luv, just askin' whut 'boot you want to know aboot?"
[20:45] * +Siluvaine shrugs. "One that traveled to Ulthuan 8 to 10 weeks ago."
[20:48] <@BradGM> He looks off for a second. "Ye?"
[20:51] * +Siluvaine wonders if he's simple. "I'm afraid I don't have the name."
[20:53] <@BradGM> The Foreman rubs his patched eye. "Well..I might remember sumthin'..just ma'noggin' need sum' me'hul to 'elp it remember.."
[20:54] * +Siluvaine tries not to sigh and passes across a silver pieces.
[20:56] <@BradGM> ((A silvers pieceS?))
[20:56] <+Siluvaine> ((eh, I'll give him 2 :) ))
[20:59] <@BradGM> The foreman checks the coins and does a bite check. "Oh ye..their'wuz dat ship, The huu..The Escol'ah. Ull'white with lil'triangul'sails too.."
[21:02] <+Siluvaine> "Do you know where the ship can be found?"
[21:03] <@BradGM> Foreman "Har har..Ultuhan by now!"
[21:05] <@BradGM> Foreman "There's only 4 or 5 o''em Elf ship per year, so we ain't gonna see one 'til next season."
[21:05] <+Siluvaine> "Do you know where we can find more information on the ship?"
[21:06] <@BradGM> Foreman "Go try da Shaved Rock. 'Sum hole for y'er kind."
[21:10] <@BradGM> He points in a direction with his thumb and turns back to yelling to his crew.
[21:10] * +Siluvaine nods. "Thank you."
[21:12] * +Siluvaine turns and starts heading in the general direction, looking for the Shaved Rock. "One more step. Hopefully they're having more luck at the Temples."
[21:13] <+Alexi> "Vould be hard to heff vorse."

[21:22] * +Siluvaine coughs and drops, trying to get cover without doing anymore damage.
[21:22] <+Siluvaine> ((That's it))

[21:24] <@BradGM> ((That was free action,s o you got 2 actions still))
[21:25] * +Alexi draws his own bow. "Hyu vant to play der games!?"
[21:25] <+Alexi> (do I get a shot?)

[21:29] <@BradGM> New Round!
[21:29] * +Siluvaine groans and looks for cover, trying to drag herself towards it.
[21:30] <@BradGM> A few person are walking around you Alexi, but the traffic doesn't seems to be that affected.
[21:30] <@BradGM> Siluvaine, you managed to reach the door of a Tavern where a few citizens got cover as well. They quickly leave the place for you, more to be not shot rather than politeness.
[21:31] <@BradGM> Alexi!

[21:33] <+Alexi> "Got Hyu!"
[21:34] <@BradGM> "WHAT THE HELL YOU 'FERNER!" Citizens are moving away from you and the streets seems almost passable, for Altdorf, 'mind.
[21:34] <+Alexi> ((Can Ulrich be looking over Siluvaine?))
[21:35] <@BradGM> Yes, Ulrich is busy putting his smeeling mixture on her wounds.

[21:39] <@BradGM> Siluvaine, you're out of combat with Ulrich taking care of you.
[21:40] * +Alexi continues the chase!
[21:40] <@BradGM> Alexi, you're in a chase; it's an agility test to catch the shooter; he's got one distance over you; he gets to 4 he runs away.
[21:40] * +Siluvaine grimaches as there's a new hole in her clothing..and her.

[21:54] <@BradGM> You loose sight of the hooded shooter as he reaches the dockside, with you still plundered by the crowd.
[21:55] * +Alexi scowls and marches to the foreman they talked to, shoving people out of his way
[21:59] <@BradGM> Alexi, as you move back toward the foreman, Edgerrin shows up in front of you.
[21:59] <@BradGM> Aithron followed close behind.
[22:00] * +Alexi fairly growls "Vot!?"
[22:00] <+Aithorn> "Sounds like we should be asking you that. What can we do to help?"
[22:01] <+Alexi> "De elf vos shot by a coward who run here. Hy hit him vit an arrow but he runs too fast."
[22:02] <@Edgerrin> 'what?"
[22:02] <+Alexi> "Ulrich is vit her. Hy am goink to heff a talk vit the von ve spoke to earlier."
[22:03] <@BradGM> Siluvaine, Ulrich patches you up, to the surpsed unintrest of the passing populace. He managed to removed the bolt, the metal head helped with the cleaning, and bandanged your wound.
[22:03] * @Edgerrin is a little confused. 1'Who that be?"
[22:04] * +Aithorn will attempt a follow trail test to spot a blood trail on the street

[22:06] <+Diceling> Aithorn: 42 Failure by 2 degrees!

[22:07] <@BradGM> You see blood..but it's fish blood..then you see blood again..from a bleeding drunk who finshied a brawl..the Docks are not the best place to center on a blodd trail
[22:08] <+Aithorn> ((had to try))
[22:09] <@BradGM> Alexi, you only saw that he had a green-ish hood, his crowwbow and an ax. Also, he got an arrow in the shoulder.
[22:09] * +Aithorn walks back to the group, "Whoever it was didn't leave much behind. But this is now the second time, Sil. Did someone from Marienburg find you here?"
[22:10] * +Alexi is still heading to that foreman
[22:11] <@BradGM> The Foreman is still yelling at his large gang of workers, still unloading the large merchant vessel.
[22:11] * @Edgerrin will follow Alexi. 1"Where be the others?"
[22:11] <+Alexi> "HOY!"
[22:11] <+Siluvaine> ((At this point we're still spli tup as far as I know?))
[22:11] <@BradGM> Ulrich "You better not move too much- or well, let's get you up from the street.
[22:11] <@BradGM> ((yes, it's you with Ulrich now.))
[22:12] * +Aithorn gives Siluvaine another arm/shoulder to lean on. "Just leave my sword free if they try again, alright?"
[22:12] * +Siluvaine grimaces and uses her quarterstaff to get up, glancing around.
[22:13] <@BradGM> The Foreman rise his finger at you, as he is busy yelling smoe orders. He turns his attention to you after he's done "Ye?"
[22:14] <+Alexi> "My friend, de elf hyu talk to? Somvun just tried to keel her, und de coward runz back here ven I chase."
[22:15] <@BradGM> Foreman "Ye, so? I didn't see no bloody guy 'ere."
[22:16] <+Alexi> "Hyu know anyvon vit green hood, crossbow, und axe?"
[22:16] <@BradGM> Foreman "Nah, I dunno no un'like dat."
[22:18] <+Alexi> "Vell den mebbe hyu kin tink uf a vay to help? She vos shot after talking vit hyu, un hy dun see dot many pipples who could heff heard vot vos said."
[22:18] * +Siluvaine looks around and hobbles to the house where the shooting happened.
[22:18] * @Edgerrin stands by, hammer ready, in case things get ugly.
[22:19] * +Aithorn tries to elbow them a slightly larger space to walk through
[22:19] <@BradGM> Foreman "So? I ain't go nuthin' do to with dat! Meebe da guy wuz waitin' for you, think 'bout that Kissy."
[22:19] <+Alexi> "Den vy he run back here, hmm?"
[22:20] <+Alexi> "Hy am seemple man, hy prefer de seemple solutions."
[22:22] <@BradGM> Foreman "New 'ere ain't ya? Th'Dockside the spine of th'sector; yer' killer coulda gone anywhere from 'ere if he knows da city a bit."
[22:23] <+Alexi> "Den somvun vould heff seen him leave. Hyu knows pipples around here?"
[22:24] <@BradGM> Foreman "I'm workin' 'ere! I ain't got time to look 'round! I'm paid by th'load!"
[22:25] * @Edgerrin taps Alexi, 1'Me freind we might wanna try a different lead or ga back and 'elp our freinds."
[22:25] <+Alexi> "Den hyu tells me vot pipples to talk to."
[22:25] * +Alexi turns to look. "Vot?"
[22:26] <+Siluvaine> ((Brb))
[22:26] <@Edgerrin> "Just saying we mgiht wanna git bacl to sil and make sure shes alright."
[22:27] * +Alexi growls. "Fine." He turns back to the foreman. "If hyu heff lied to me, it vill be verra bad for hyu."
[22:29] <@BradGM> Foreman "Watch t lad! Bad fer any man to mess with th'Foreman union!"
[22:30] <+Aithorn> ((i've got friends in loo-ow places...))
[22:30] * @Edgerrin to the foreman 1"word of advice mate, it t'aint smart ta mess wit someone that's fasced daemons and lived ta tell about it."
[22:31] * +Alexi doesn't act like he heard the foreman's response as he leaves
[22:31] <@BradGM> Foreman "Deamons? And have yer met da new Emperor, me arse?"
[22:32] * @Edgerrin laughs. "Ya certainly dumber than ya look and that's saying sumthing."
[22:32] <+Siluvaine> ((Back))
[22:33] * +Siluvaine hobbles over to the building where the arrow came from..maybe she can learn something there.
[22:34] * @Edgerrin follows after Alexi
[22:34] <@BradGM> The front door is kicked in, as the back door is open as well. You can see a small blood trail going upstairs as well.
[22:35] <@BradGM> Alexi, returning to the site of the attack, you don't see Siluvaine nor Ulrich,.
[22:36] * +Siluvaine heads up to where the arrowing occurred. "So I don't think there are many people that want to kill me."
[22:37] * +Alexi looks around for signs
[22:38] <@BradGM> From the window you can see one of Alexi's arrow in the wall. You see no other furniture as well, short of a stoll near the window, that the shooter used to steady his aim on the window frame.
[22:38] <+Aithorn> "Then we've just been lucky that they want you first out of us."
[22:38] <@BradGM> Looking about, you can spot movement coming form the shooter's house; Siluvaine and Ulrich are snooping around.
[22:39] <+Alexi> "Der dey are."
[22:39] <@BradGM> Sorry, Aithron.
[22:39] * +Siluvaine glances around and sighs. "Nothing to be found here."
[22:39] <@Edgerrin> "alexi, da ya really thinkt he foreman 'ad a hand in this?"
[22:41] <+Alexi> "Honestly, hy doubts it. But he vould know somevun who knows somvun."
[22:42] * @Edgerrin nods
[22:42] <@BradGM> You do see blood trail, thanks to Alexi's precise bow shooting.
[22:43] * +Siluvaine follows the trail downstairs and sees if its possible to track it.
[22:44] <@BradGM> There is a continuous drippling of blood leading to the back door, yes.
[22:44] * +Siluvaine looks out the front to see if the rest of the group is around.
[22:44] * +Aithorn gets a closer look at the blood drops. "Alexi, did you see where you hit our mystery guest?"
[22:44] <+Alexi> "Yah, hy got him goot in de shoulder, hy did."
[22:46] <@BradGM> Indeed, the blood is not blubbly; the shooter is not shot in the lungs, , but in the muscle.
[22:47] <+Aithorn> "Good, that makes it harder to throw off the trail."
[22:48] * +Siluvaine meets up with the group. "Tha twsa random."
[22:50] <+Aithorn> ((does the blood trail go back out to the main road or out the back door to a different street?))
[22:51] <@BradGM> ((The blood trails goes to the back door to a different street than the front door.))
[22:52] <+Aithorn> ((Gotcha, let's try a second follow trail test to see where this one goes))
[22:52] <+Siluvaine> ((presumably we're all met up at this point?))

[22:55] <@BradGM> Aithorn, starting from the beginning of the trail, and using your own experience, you can manage to follow the blood trail with some sucess.
[22:56] * @Edgerrin will follow aithorn
[22:56] * +Siluvaine looks at Alexi. "Did you get a look at him?"
[22:57] <+Aithorn> "I think I can follow this for a bit but I don't know what is waiting for us or watching us. Keep your head up."
[22:57] <+Alexi> "Chust dot he vos vearing a grean hood."
[22:57] <@Edgerrin> 'aye"
[22:57] <@BradGM> ((ALexi; sdly, no, the hood blocked his traits))
[23:00] <@BradGM> If you follow the blood trail, you can go dwon the street until the much more passing dockside. roll follow trail -30 again there Aithorn.

[23:03] <@BradGM> You manage to continue trailing the trail on the Dockside, having the whole line from the start make things easier.
[23:04] <@BradGM> Roll perception visual -30 Sil.

[23:06] <@BradGM> ((DUN DUN DUUUNN))
[23:07] * +Siluvaine frowns and keeps a look out for the figure. "We may have another tail."
[23:08] <@BradGM> Aithorn, the blood trail leads to a rickedy bridge made out of two planks tied together, leading to one of the many smallest island on the Reik.
[23:10] <@Edgerrin> "Wuz the shooter male?"
[23:10] <@BradGM> ((You guys and your lucky ow-chance rolls...))
[23:10] <+Alexi> "Hy tot so, but hy din get a look at de face."
[23:10] <+Alexi> ((Yeah, and failing 5 42% chances in a row?))
[23:10] <+Aithorn> ((4% cumulative))
[23:11] <@Edgerrin> "culd be one and de same then."

[23:12] * +Siluvaine keeps an eye out for the figure, should she reappear. She quirks an eyebrow at that comment.
[23:12] <@BradGM> ((yeah, that I admit, was a low point for the bot.))
[23:12] <+Aithorn> "I hope someone knows the way back to our rooms, this city is like a warren."
[23:14] <@Edgerrin> (Edge wasnt being sarcastic with that comment))
[23:15] <+Siluvaine> "Can you continue to follow the trail?"
[23:15] <@BradGM> Roll it: +0, since there's not much traffic here.
[23:16] <+Aithorn> !dhroll 51
[23:16] <+Diceling> Aithorn: 5 Success by 4 degrees!
[23:16] <@Edgerrin> (you a tracking machine))
[23:17] <+Aithorn> "Only if you have enough energy to keep following it."
[23:17] * +Siluvaine frowns. "We'll see. If need be, I'll down a healing draught if the pain gets to be too much."
[23:17] <+Aithorn> ((i gotta be good for something other than powering a wind turbine swinging my sword))
[23:18] <@BradGM> You are able to follow the trail. The small island is a little forested, and seems to hav s small shakc or three on it.
[23:20] * +Siluvaine grips her quarterstaff tighter, and in lieu of a horse to hide behind, uses Alexi for cover.
[23:21] <@BradGM> ((hahaha))
[23:22] <@BradGM> THe blood trail seems to lead toward one of those shack.
[23:22] <+Aithorn> ((Is there another bridge off the island? or was that the only bridge?))
[23:23] <@BradGM> ((It was the only bridge eading on, but there are other bridges leading to others islands on the other side.))
[23:25] <@BradGM> ((and not to cut this short, but it is getting late- ok if we cut it here for tonight?))
[23:25] * +Aithorn motions Edgerrin towards one of the huts, "I hope you're faster than I am, but let's see what information we can get first."
[23:25] <+Aithorn> ((sure))
[23:25] <+Aithorn> ((a nice cliffhanger))
[23:26] <+Siluvaine> ((sounds like a good place))
[23:26] <@BradGM> *End of Session*
AITHORN AND EDGERRIN TALKING WITH HOFFER.
[20:27] <BradGM> With a far-fetched possibility that a method of destruction exists, the Party returned to the Imperial Inn, planning for the next day. Aithron and Edgerrin will meet WitchHunter Hoffer at the Temple of Sigmar to give him an update, and possibly get some assistance. Siluvaine wrote a nice letter to ask Illumintor Messner for access to the Light College’s Library for research. Waiting for an answer Alexi , Ulirch and she hit the stinking Docks to get some information about a Ulthuan-bound ship that left 8 to 10 weeks ago.
[20:29] <BradGM> Last lines were..
[20:29] <BradGM> [23:38] <@BradGM> Hoffer "What do you mean reach it if you can destroy it? where is it?"
[20:29] <BradGM> [23:42] <Aithorn> "A wizard of the Light College assures us it lies in their vault here in the city. He says he can release it to us, but only if we can destroy it quickly afterward here in Altdorf."
[20:29] <BradGM> [23:42] <@BradGM> Hoffer "Hmpf. Light College Vault. I should have suspected!"
[20:33] <Aithorn> "If there is a sure way to destroy the dagger, then perhaps there is more that we can bring out."
[20:34] <BradGM> Hoffer "Let's not overstep our bounds. LEt us focus on the Dagger for the time being."
[20:35] <Edgerrin> "what more ya luking fer?"
[20:36] <Edgerrin> "Ta bring out that be"
[20:36] <BradGM> Hoffer glances at you Aithorn at Edgerrin's question.
[20:42] <Aithorn> "I know little of human politics, but it would seem that you desire more to be removed from the College's Vault or you think the wizards overstep their might. We are offering a way to right both these wrongs, but I believe that merely to empty the vault would be to imperil Altdorf, therefore we must have a place to empty it *to*. I would have thought a Witchhunter would know of such a thing."
[20:45] <Edgerrin> "I have no liking ta be between the dealing of wizards and witch hunters, that's sumthing ya all can sort by yerself. We was tasked with findin this dagger and gettin' rid of it and that's what i aim ta do."
[20:46] <Aithorn> "By whatever means we can find."
[20:47] <BradGM> Hoffer "I have no qualms with offical Imperial Allies, but one must remain cautious of those with magical abilites....as for your inqury, you wish to secure a location to destroy the Dagger, when and if you find a way to destroy it to get it out of the Light College Vault?"
[20:48] <Edgerrin> "Me think the where will be decided by the how.
[20:49] <BradGM> Hoffer "It would not be a far-fetched thought."
[20:50] <BradGM> Roll gossip or charm; don't forget the +10 from the mark.

[20:54] <@Diceling> Edgerrin: 28 Failure by 0 degrees!
[20:54] <Edgerrin> "Thank ye."
[20:54] <Edgerrin> ((Sad, the two of us and our social skills))
[20:55] <BradGM> Hoffer turns slighty to you Edgerrin "I am not doing this for your thanks, Dwarf."
[20:55] <BradGM> Hoffer "I do this for a higher cause than mere thanks from others."
[20:55] * Edgerrin rolls his eyes.
[20:56] <Aithorn> "And your faithfulness does you honor, but gratitude and piety may go together."
[20:58] <Aithorn> ((Edge, anything else we want to ask this guy?))
[21:00] <Edgerrin> ((dont think so))
[21:02] <Edgerrin> "We be gettin back ta ya as soon as we find a way, if ya find one first please let us know. Thank ya fer ya time."
[21:03] <Aithorn> "We are in your debt for your help then, Herr Hoffer. We have taken rooms at the Imperial Inn and can be reached there if need be."
[21:03] <BradGM> Hoffer "Yes, I know where you are in Altdorf. I shall be in touch in I need to reach you."
[21:03] <BradGM> Hoffer "Sigmar Protects."
[21:04] * Edgerrin bows and departs
[21:05] * Aithorn also bows and leaves."May Kurnous defend."
[21:06] <Edgerrin> "where ta now Elf?"
[21:06] <Aithorn> ((that went short, back to the Inn? or straight to the docks?))
[21:07] <Aithorn> "To the docks then, where we will see if sailors' mouths are sealed tighter than Siluvaine's wallet."
[21:08] <Aithorn> "The battle will no doubt be long, longer than we spent here."
[21:08] <Edgerrin> "aye"
[21:08] <BradGM> You are amogsth the Dispensaries of the Temple of Sigmar. The small buildinngs, libraires and chapels are forming a small city of it's own; just that the streets are rather deserted and clean, and the air is filled with different innsensts from the chapels rather than the ususal stink and you can actually see more of the sky.
[21:08] * Edgerrin follows
[21:09] <BradGM> You get back to the Temple of Sigmar and then, if there's nothing else, out to the Imperial Plaza outside and back into the Altdorf jungle.
[21:11] * Aithorn takes a last breath of 'clean' air before heading out into the stench of....
[21:11] <Aithorn> !roll 10
[21:11] <@Diceling> Aithorn: 10
[21:12] <BradGM> ((oh reallY? You dare!"))

[21:14] <Edgerrin> "if we got time I wouldn't mind checking the market ta see if the runesmith got 'ere."
[21:14] <BradGM> ((Hey, you're the one who made the roll; I was fine with keeping with the smell of cookeing fod, but noo, let's go for the true Altdorf experience!))
[21:15] <Aithorn> "Lead on."
[21:15] <BradGM> ((I had a banjo song playing in my head the moment I saw that pic))
[21:15] <Aithorn> ((What do i look like, some sort of elven tourista? don't answer that...))
[21:15] <Edgerrin> ((How far is the dwarven market from here and in proximity to the docks?))
[21:16] <BradGM> ((The markets are past the plaza, the Palace and most of the city. The docks are, basically, to your right, corss the bridge and a bit to your right.))
[21:17] <Edgerrin> "Let's hit the docks first and see if we can find the lot of our freinds."
[21:19] <Aithorn> "That sounds like a good idea, to the docks!"

[21:21] <Edgerrin> (oh well)
[21:22] <BradGM> You go follow your nose, but the smell of vomit and the smell of sewers are almost one in the same. Nevertheless, You cross the Reik and go with visual queue as you See and reach the Docks.
[21:23] * Edgerrin looks towards any moored ships for his companions.
[21:25] <BradGM> The docks are rather occupied; foreman and worker crews and busy loading and unloading goods from ships, river boats and barges.
[21:26] <Edgerrin> "Keep them sharps eyes of yours open Aithorn"
[21:27] <Aithorn> "They shouldn't be hard to spot."
[21:28] <BradGM> You spend some time, walking and looking around, but you can't see your companions.
[21:29] <Edgerrin> "
[21:29] <Edgerrin> "Wunder where they be?'
[21:31] <Aithorn> "I doubt they could have gone too far, they had to search the whole docks too. We'll probably find them suddenly like a arrow from the sky."
[21:32] <Edgerrin> (hahahaha)
[21:32] <Aithorn> ((I have *no* idea why I used that particular analogy. No idea at all.))
[21:33] <Aithorn> "They're probably just on the other side of the river. Let's find a bridge and go back up. Keep an eye out for a magnificent hat."

[21:37] <Edgerrin> "that is if we dunt see em soon."
[21:37] <Aithorn> "Walking the docks is thirsty work. If we don't see them, I'll buy"
[21:38] <Edgerrin> "you be on."
[21:38] <BradGM> No need to search alot to find taverns and inns aplenty-even right on the dockside!
[21:38] <Edgerrin> 'I know a good cavern"
[21:40] * Aithorn grins "That will do, but sometime I may repay the favor if we can get you up a tree."
[21:42] * Edgerrin grins. "Dunt know bout that. I be an ugly squirl.'

[21:45] <BradGM> the sailin' drunk, the drunken sailor, the Mariner Somelier (this one is actually a club), the fat drunk, the gambling drunk, the sailin' gambler." The themes seems rather maritime.
[21:46] * Edgerrin gets a chuckle at the names but there doesnt seem to be one that draws him in.
[21:46] * Aithorn is still hoping to see a really magnificent hat through the crowd, but also trying not to step on any rotting fish heads on the dock
[21:46] <Edgerrin> "aith, ya fancy any of these fine establishments?"
[21:47] <Aithorn> "Not unless waking up on a ship to Araby sounds like a good idea. Keep walking."

[21:55] <Aithorn> ((brb, but going to alert Edge and then check it out))
[21:56] * Edgerrin tries to see what aithorn points at.
[21:57] <BradGM> You can manage to see Alexi's hat moving over the crowd in the distance.

[20:28] <@BradGM> You reach the tatooed facial-sacarred foreman yelling with a small cone to his large crew unloading a large merchant vessel.
[20:34] * +Siluvaine glances around, looking at the merchant vessel (does it look Elven at all?))
[20:35] <@BradGM> No, it is a Imperial Vessel.
[20:37] * +Siluvaine frowns and considers the figure. "We need information." she says to him, hopefully at some point when he has a break in shouting.
[20:39] <@BradGM> The foreman double down at you "Whut?" *He looks at you up and down* "You ain't no law!"
[20:40] <+Alexi> "No, und hyu iz not in trubble, iz nozzing to vorry about."

[20:51] * +Siluvaine wonders if he's simple. "I'm afraid I don't have the name."
[20:53] <@BradGM> The Foreman rubs his patched eye. "Well..I might remember sumthin'..just ma'noggin' need sum' me'hul to 'elp it remember.."

[21:05] <+Siluvaine> "Do you know where we can find more information on the ship?"
[21:06] <@BradGM> Foreman "Go try da Shaved Rock. 'Sum hole for y'er kind."
[21:10] <@BradGM> He points in a direction with his thumb and turns back to yelling to his crew.

[21:39] <@BradGM> Alexi, you reach the house and kick down the door! You're faced with an empty, dusty room- like it's abandonned. You hear a door being kicked out back!
[21:39] <@BradGM> Siluvaine, you're out of combat with Ulrich taking care of you.
[21:40] * +Alexi continues the chase!
[21:40] <@BradGM> Alexi, you're in a chase; it's an agility test to catch the shooter; he's got one distance over you; he gets to 4 he runs away.

[21:55] * +Alexi scowls and marches to the foreman they talked to, shoving people out of his way
[21:59] <@BradGM> Alexi, as you move back toward the foreman, Edgerrin shows up in front of you.
[21:59] <@BradGM> Aithron followed close behind.
[22:00] * +Alexi fairly growls "Vot!?"
[22:00] <+Aithorn> "Sounds like we should be asking you that. What can we do to help?"
[22:01] <+Alexi> "De elf vos shot by a coward who run here. Hy hit him vit an arrow but he runs too fast."
[22:02] <@Edgerrin> 'what?"
[22:02] <+Alexi> "Ulrich is vit her. Hy am goink to heff a talk vit the von ve spoke to earlier."
[22:03] <@BradGM> Siluvaine, Ulrich patches you up, to the surpsed unintrest of the passing populace. He managed to removed the bolt, the metal head helped with the cleaning, and bandanged your wound.
[22:03] * @Edgerrin is a little confused. 1'Who that be?"
[22:04] * +Aithorn will attempt a follow trail test to spot a blood trail on the street

[22:06] <+Diceling> Aithorn: 42 Failure by 2 degrees!
[22:07] * +Siluvaine grimaces and looks down at the blood. "Damnit."
[22:07] <@BradGM> You see blood..but it's fish blood..then you see blood again..from a bleeding drunk who finshied a brawl..the Docks are not the best place to center on a blodd trail
[22:08] <+Aithorn> ((had to try))
[22:09] <@BradGM> Alexi, you only saw that he had a green-ish hood, his crowwbow and an ax. Also, he got an arrow in the shoulder.
[22:09] * +Aithorn walks back to the group, "Whoever it was didn't leave much behind. But this is now the second time, Sil. Did someone from Marienburg find you here?"
[22:10] * +Alexi is still heading to that foreman
[22:11] <@BradGM> The Foreman is still yelling at his large gang of workers, still unloading the large merchant vessel.
[22:11] * @Edgerrin will follow Alexi. 1"Where be the others?"
[22:11] <+Alexi> "HOY!"
[22:11] <+Siluvaine> ((At this point we're still spli tup as far as I know?))
[22:11] <@BradGM> Ulrich "You better not move too much- or well, let's get you up from the street.
[22:11] <@BradGM> ((yes, it's you with Ulrich now.))
[22:12] * +Aithorn gives Siluvaine another arm/shoulder to lean on. "Just leave my sword free if they try again, alright?"
[22:12] * +Siluvaine grimaces and uses her quarterstaff to get up, glancing around.
[22:13] <@BradGM> The Foreman rise his finger at you, as he is busy yelling smoe orders. He turns his attention to you after he's done "Ye?"
[22:14] <+Alexi> "My friend, de elf hyu talk to? Somvun just tried to keel her, und de coward runz back here ven I chase."
[22:15] <@BradGM> Foreman "Ye, so? I didn't see no bloody guy 'ere."
[22:16] <+Alexi> "Hyu know anyvon vit green hood, crossbow, und axe?"
[22:16] <@BradGM> Foreman "Nah, I dunno no un'like dat."
[22:18] <+Alexi> "Vell den mebbe hyu kin tink uf a vay to help? She vos shot after talking vit hyu, un hy dun see dot many pipples who could heff heard vot vos said."
[22:18] * +Siluvaine looks around and hobbles to the house where the shooting happened.
[22:18] * @Edgerrin stands by, hammer ready, in case things get ugly.
[22:19] * +Aithorn tries to elbow them a slightly larger space to walk through
[22:19] <@BradGM> Foreman "So? I ain't go nuthin' do to with dat! Meebe da guy wuz waitin' for you, think 'bout that Kissy."
[22:19] <+Alexi> "Den vy he run back here, hmm?"
[22:20] <+Alexi> "Hy am seemple man, hy prefer de seemple solutions."
[22:22] <@BradGM> Foreman "New 'ere ain't ya? Th'Dockside the spine of th'sector; yer' killer coulda gone anywhere from 'ere if he knows da city a bit."
[22:23] <+Alexi> "Den somvun vould heff seen him leave. Hyu knows pipples around here?"
[22:24] <@BradGM> Foreman "I'm workin' 'ere! I ain't got time to look 'round! I'm paid by th'load!"
[22:25] * @Edgerrin taps Alexi, 1'Me freind we might wanna try a different lead or ga back and 'elp our freinds."
[22:25] <+Alexi> "Den hyu tells me vot pipples to talk to."
[22:25] * +Alexi turns to look. "Vot?"
[22:26] <+Siluvaine> ((Brb))
[22:26] <@Edgerrin> "Just saying we mgiht wanna git bacl to sil and make sure shes alright."
[22:27] * +Alexi growls. "Fine." He turns back to the foreman. "If hyu heff lied to me, it vill be verra bad for hyu."
[22:29] <@BradGM> Foreman "Watch t lad! Bad fer any man to mess with th'Foreman union!"
[22:30] <+Aithorn> ((i've got friends in loo-ow places...))
[22:30] * @Edgerrin to the foreman 1"word of advice mate, it t'aint smart ta mess wit someone that's fasced daemons and lived ta tell about it."
[22:31] * +Alexi doesn't act like he heard the foreman's response as he leaves
[22:31] <@BradGM> Foreman "Deamons? And have yer met da new Emperor, me arse?"
[22:32] * @Edgerrin laughs. "Ya certainly dumber than ya look and that's saying sumthing."
[22:32] <+Siluvaine> ((Back))
[22:33] * +Siluvaine hobbles over to the building where the arrow came from..maybe she can learn something there.
[22:34] * @Edgerrin follows after Alexi
[22:34] <@BradGM> The front door is kicked in, as the back door is open as well. You can see a small blood trail going upstairs as well.
[22:35] <@BradGM> Alexi, returning to the site of the attack, you don't see Siluvaine nor Ulrich,.
[22:36] * +Siluvaine heads up to where the arrowing occurred. "So I don't think there are many people that want to kill me."
[22:37] * +Alexi looks around for signs
[22:38] <@BradGM> From the window you can see one of Alexi's arrow in the wall. You see no other furniture as well, short of a stoll near the window, that the shooter used to steady his aim on the window frame.
[22:38] <+Aithorn> "Then we've just been lucky that they want you first out of us."
[22:38] <@BradGM> Looking about, you can spot movement coming form the shooter's house; Siluvaine and Ulrich are snooping around.
[22:39] <+Alexi> "Der dey are."
[22:39] <@BradGM> Sorry, Aithron.
[22:39] * +Siluvaine glances around and sighs. "Nothing to be found here."
[22:39] <@Edgerrin> "alexi, da ya really thinkt he foreman 'ad a hand in this?"
[22:41] <+Alexi> "Honestly, hy doubts it. But he vould know somevun who knows somvun."
[22:42] * @Edgerrin nods
[22:42] <@BradGM> You do see blood trail, thanks to Alexi's precise bow shooting.
[22:43] * +Siluvaine follows the trail downstairs and sees if its possible to track it.
[22:44] <@BradGM> There is a continuous drippling of blood leading to the back door, yes.
[22:44] * +Siluvaine looks out the front to see if the rest of the group is around.
[22:44] * +Aithorn gets a closer look at the blood drops. "Alexi, did you see where you hit our mystery guest?"
[22:44] <+Alexi> "Yah, hy got him goot in de shoulder, hy did."
[22:46] <@BradGM> Indeed, the blood is not blubbly; the shooter is not shot in the lungs, , but in the muscle.
[22:47] <+Aithorn> "Good, that makes it harder to throw off the trail."
[22:48] * +Siluvaine meets up with the group. "Tha twsa random."
[22:50] <+Aithorn> ((does the blood trail go back out to the main road or out the back door to a different street?))
[22:51] <@BradGM> ((The blood trails goes to the back door to a different street than the front door.))
[22:52] <+Aithorn> ((Gotcha, let's try a second follow trail test to see where this one goes))
[22:52] <+Siluvaine> ((presumably we're all met up at this point?))
[22:52] <@BradGM> ((I suppose you'Re all at the shooter's house))
[22:52] <+Aithorn> !dhroll 51
[22:52] <+Diceling> Aithorn: 12 Success by 3 degrees!
[22:53] <@BradGM> ((You woul still have the -30, but tht would still ive you a success))
[22:55] <@BradGM> Aithorn, starting from the beginning of the trail, and using your own experience, you can manage to follow the blood trail with some sucess.
[22:56] * @Edgerrin will follow aithorn
[22:56] * +Siluvaine looks at Alexi. "Did you get a look at him?"
[22:57] <+Aithorn> "I think I can follow this for a bit but I don't know what is waiting for us or watching us. Keep your head up."
[22:57] <+Alexi> "Chust dot he vos vearing a grean hood."
[22:57] <@Edgerrin> 'aye"
[22:57] <@BradGM> ((ALexi; sdly, no, the hood blocked his traits))
[23:00] <@BradGM> If you follow the blood trail, you can go dwon the street until the much more passing dockside. roll follow trail -30 again there Aithorn.

[23:03] * +Siluvaine keeps her eyes out for any more random surprises.
[23:03] <@BradGM> You manage to continue trailing the trail on the Dockside, having the whole line from the start make things easier.
[23:04] <@BradGM> Roll perception visual -30 Sil.

[23:06] <@BradGM> ((DUN DUN DUUUNN))
[23:07] * +Siluvaine frowns and keeps a look out for the figure. "We may have another tail."
[23:08] <@BradGM> Aithorn, the blood trail leads to a rickedy bridge made out of two planks tied together, leading to one of the many smallest island on the Reik.
[23:10] <@Edgerrin> "Wuz the shooter male?"
[23:10] <@BradGM> ((You guys and your lucky ow-chance rolls...))
[23:10] <+Alexi> "Hy tot so, but hy din get a look at de face."
[23:10] <+Alexi> ((Yeah, and failing 5 42% chances in a row?))
[23:10] <+Aithorn> ((4% cumulative))
[23:11] <@Edgerrin> "culd be one and de same then."
[23:11] <@Edgerrin> "missy ya didnt piss off someones mistress did ya?'
[23:12] * +Siluvaine keeps an eye out for the figure, should she reappear. She quirks an eyebrow at that comment.
[23:12] <@BradGM> ((yeah, that I admit, was a low point for the bot.))
[23:12] <+Aithorn> "I hope someone knows the way back to our rooms, this city is like a warren."
[23:14] <@Edgerrin> (Edge wasnt being sarcastic with that comment))
[23:15] <+Siluvaine> "Can you continue to follow the trail?"
[23:15] <@BradGM> Roll it: +0, since there's not much traffic here.
[23:16] <+Aithorn> !dhroll 51
[23:16] <+Diceling> Aithorn: 5 Success by 4 degrees!
[23:16] <@Edgerrin> (you a tracking machine))
[23:17] <+Aithorn> "Only if you have enough energy to keep following it."
[23:17] * +Siluvaine frowns. "We'll see. If need be, I'll down a healing draught if the pain gets to be too much."
[23:17] <+Aithorn> ((i gotta be good for something other than powering a wind turbine swinging my sword))
[23:18] <@BradGM> You are able to follow the trail. The small island is a little forested, and seems to hav s small shakc or three on it.
[23:20] * +Siluvaine grips her quarterstaff tighter, and in lieu of a horse to hide behind, uses Alexi for cover.
[23:21] <@BradGM> ((hahaha))
[23:22] <@BradGM> THe blood trail seems to lead toward one of those shack.
[23:22] <+Aithorn> ((Is there another bridge off the island? or was that the only bridge?))
[23:23] <@BradGM> ((It was the only bridge eading on, but there are other bridges leading to others islands on the other side.))
[23:25] <@BradGM> ((and not to cut this short, but it is getting late- ok if we cut it here for tonight?))
[23:25] * +Aithorn motions Edgerrin towards one of the huts, "I hope you're faster than I am, but let's see what information we can get first."
[23:25] <+Aithorn> ((sure))
[23:25] <+Aithorn> ((a nice cliffhanger))
[23:26] <+Siluvaine> ((sounds like a good place))
[23:26] <@BradGM> *End of Session*
AITHORN AND EDGERRIN TALKING WITH HOFFER.
[20:27] <BradGM> With a far-fetched possibility that a method of destruction exists, the Party returned to the Imperial Inn, planning for the next day. Aithron and Edgerrin will meet WitchHunter Hoffer at the Temple of Sigmar to give him an update, and possibly get some assistance. Siluvaine wrote a nice letter to ask Illumintor Messner for access to the Light College’s Library for research. Waiting for an answer Alexi , Ulirch and she hit the stinking Docks to get some information about a Ulthuan-bound ship that left 8 to 10 weeks ago.
[20:29] <BradGM> Last lines were..
[20:29] <BradGM> [23:38] <@BradGM> Hoffer "What do you mean reach it if you can destroy it? where is it?"
[20:29] <BradGM> [23:42] <Aithorn> "A wizard of the Light College assures us it lies in their vault here in the city. He says he can release it to us, but only if we can destroy it quickly afterward here in Altdorf."
[20:29] <BradGM> [23:42] <@BradGM> Hoffer "Hmpf. Light College Vault. I should have suspected!"
[20:33] <Aithorn> "If there is a sure way to destroy the dagger, then perhaps there is more that we can bring out."
[20:34] <BradGM> Hoffer "Let's not overstep our bounds. LEt us focus on the Dagger for the time being."
[20:35] <Edgerrin> "what more ya luking fer?"
[20:36] <Edgerrin> "Ta bring out that be"
[20:36] <BradGM> Hoffer glances at you Aithorn at Edgerrin's question.
[20:42] <Aithorn> "I know little of human politics, but it would seem that you desire more to be removed from the College's Vault or you think the wizards overstep their might. We are offering a way to right both these wrongs, but I believe that merely to empty the vault would be to imperil Altdorf, therefore we must have a place to empty it *to*. I would have thought a Witchhunter would know of such a thing."
[20:45] <Edgerrin> "I have no liking ta be between the dealing of wizards and witch hunters, that's sumthing ya all can sort by yerself. We was tasked with findin this dagger and gettin' rid of it and that's what i aim ta do."
[20:46] <Aithorn> "By whatever means we can find."
[20:47] <BradGM> Hoffer "I have no qualms with offical Imperial Allies, but one must remain cautious of those with magical abilites....as for your inqury, you wish to secure a location to destroy the Dagger, when and if you find a way to destroy it to get it out of the Light College Vault?"
[20:48] <Edgerrin> "Me think the where will be decided by the how.
[20:49] <BradGM> Hoffer "It would not be a far-fetched thought."
[20:50] <BradGM> Roll gossip or charm; don't forget the +10 from the mark.
[20:51] <Aithorn> ((hooboy))
[20:51] <Aithorn> !dhroll 19
[20:51] <@Diceling> Aithorn: 4 Success by 1 degree!
[20:51] <Aithorn> ((well paint me green and call me gumby))
[20:51] <BradGM> Hoffer "Nevertheless, I will...inquire if a safe place can be secure, if such a place if needed."
[20:52] <BradGM> ((if=is))
[20:54] <Edgerrin> !dhroll 20
[20:54] <@Diceling> Edgerrin: 28 Failure by 0 degrees!
[20:54] <Edgerrin> "Thank ye."
[20:54] <Edgerrin> ((Sad, the two of us and our social skills))
[20:55] <BradGM> Hoffer turns slighty to you Edgerrin "I am not doing this for your thanks, Dwarf."
[20:55] <BradGM> Hoffer "I do this for a higher cause than mere thanks from others."
[20:55] * Edgerrin rolls his eyes.
[20:56] <Aithorn> "And your faithfulness does you honor, but gratitude and piety may go together."
[20:58] <Aithorn> ((Edge, anything else we want to ask this guy?))
[21:00] <Edgerrin> ((dont think so))
[21:02] <Edgerrin> "We be gettin back ta ya as soon as we find a way, if ya find one first please let us know. Thank ya fer ya time."
[21:03] <Aithorn> "We are in your debt for your help then, Herr Hoffer. We have taken rooms at the Imperial Inn and can be reached there if need be."
[21:03] <BradGM> Hoffer "Yes, I know where you are in Altdorf. I shall be in touch in I need to reach you."
[21:03] <BradGM> Hoffer "Sigmar Protects."
[21:04] * Edgerrin bows and departs
[21:05] * Aithorn also bows and leaves."May Kurnous defend."
[21:06] <Edgerrin> "where ta now Elf?"
[21:06] <Aithorn> ((that went short, back to the Inn? or straight to the docks?))
[21:07] <Aithorn> "To the docks then, where we will see if sailors' mouths are sealed tighter than Siluvaine's wallet."
[21:08] <Aithorn> "The battle will no doubt be long, longer than we spent here."
[21:08] <Edgerrin> "aye"
[21:08] <BradGM> You are amogsth the Dispensaries of the Temple of Sigmar. The small buildinngs, libraires and chapels are forming a small city of it's own; just that the streets are rather deserted and clean, and the air is filled with different innsensts from the chapels rather than the ususal stink and you can actually see more of the sky.
[21:08] * Edgerrin follows
[21:09] <BradGM> You get back to the Temple of Sigmar and then, if there's nothing else, out to the Imperial Plaza outside and back into the Altdorf jungle.
[21:11] * Aithorn takes a last breath of 'clean' air before heading out into the stench of....
[21:11] <Aithorn> !roll 10
[21:11] <@Diceling> Aithorn: 10
[21:12] <BradGM> ((oh reallY? You dare!"))
[21:12] <BradGM> THe smell of freshy produced vomit!
[21:13] <Aithorn> ((if you didn't see that coming, clap your hands! clap clap))

[21:14] <Edgerrin> "if we got time I wouldn't mind checking the market ta see if the runesmith got 'ere."
[21:14] <BradGM> ((Hey, you're the one who made the roll; I was fine with keeping with the smell of cookeing fod, but noo, let's go for the true Altdorf experience!))
[21:15] <Aithorn> "Lead on."
[21:15] <BradGM> ((I had a banjo song playing in my head the moment I saw that pic))
[21:15] <Aithorn> ((What do i look like, some sort of elven tourista? don't answer that...))
[21:15] <Edgerrin> ((How far is the dwarven market from here and in proximity to the docks?))
[21:16] <BradGM> ((The markets are past the plaza, the Palace and most of the city. The docks are, basically, to your right, corss the bridge and a bit to your right.))
[21:17] <Edgerrin> "Let's hit the docks first and see if we can find the lot of our freinds."
[21:19] <Aithorn> "That sounds like a good idea, to the docks!"

[21:21] <Edgerrin> (oh well)
[21:22] <BradGM> You go follow your nose, but the smell of vomit and the smell of sewers are almost one in the same. Nevertheless, You cross the Reik and go with visual queue as you See and reach the Docks.
[21:23] * Edgerrin looks towards any moored ships for his companions.
[21:25] <BradGM> The docks are rather occupied; foreman and worker crews and busy loading and unloading goods from ships, river boats and barges.
[21:26] <Edgerrin> "Keep them sharps eyes of yours open Aithorn"
[21:27] <Aithorn> "They shouldn't be hard to spot."
[21:28] <BradGM> You spend some time, walking and looking around, but you can't see your companions.
[21:29] <Edgerrin> "
[21:29] <Edgerrin> "Wunder where they be?'
[21:31] <Aithorn> "I doubt they could have gone too far, they had to search the whole docks too. We'll probably find them suddenly like a arrow from the sky."
[21:32] <Edgerrin> (hahahaha)
[21:32] <Aithorn> ((I have *no* idea why I used that particular analogy. No idea at all.))
[21:33] <Aithorn> "They're probably just on the other side of the river. Let's find a bridge and go back up. Keep an eye out for a magnificent hat."
[21:34] * Edgerrin nods

[21:36] <Edgerrin> "If ye don't mind we can 'ead ta the market and maybe we find them at the inn.'
[21:37] <Edgerrin> "that is if we dunt see em soon."
[21:37] <Aithorn> "Walking the docks is thirsty work. If we don't see them, I'll buy"
[21:38] <Edgerrin> "you be on."
[21:38] <BradGM> No need to search alot to find taverns and inns aplenty-even right on the dockside!
[21:38] <Edgerrin> 'I know a good cavern"
[21:40] * Aithorn grins "That will do, but sometime I may repay the favor if we can get you up a tree."
[21:42] * Edgerrin grins. "Dunt know bout that. I be an ugly squirl.'
[21:43] * Edgerrin will glance at the names of the various taverns they pass.
[21:43] <Edgerrin> 6...and keep his eyes open for his freinds.
[21:45] <BradGM> the sailin' drunk, the drunken sailor, the Mariner Somelier (this one is actually a club), the fat drunk, the gambling drunk, the sailin' gambler." The themes seems rather maritime.
[21:46] * Edgerrin gets a chuckle at the names but there doesnt seem to be one that draws him in.
[21:46] * Aithorn is still hoping to see a really magnificent hat through the crowd, but also trying not to step on any rotting fish heads on the dock
[21:46] <Edgerrin> "aith, ya fancy any of these fine establishments?"
[21:47] <Aithorn> "Not unless waking up on a ship to Araby sounds like a good idea. Keep walking."
[21:48] * Edgerrin lets out a hearty laugh
[21:48] <Edgerrin> 'Noe me idea of a gud time."

[21:54] <BradGM> Aithorn, you can see a hat, similar to Alexi's in the crowd in a side street as you walk past it. He seems to be chasing after soemthing or someone.
[21:55] <Aithorn> ((brb, but going to alert Edge and then check it out))
[21:56] * Edgerrin tries to see what aithorn points at.
[21:57] <BradGM> You can manage to see Alexi's hat moving over the crowd in the distance.
[21:57] * Edgerrin heads in that direction
[21:58] <Edgerrin> "That 'at sure make em stick out in a crowd."
