[20:27] <@BradGM> Skulking around Eastgate after dark, the Party found some possible locations for a Khorne-cult to hide: Abandoned and active fighting pits and a few known troubled hot spots known to be brawl-heavy. The pits proved dead-ends all, but one tavern, the Sword and Flail, was much more than its’ lack of furniture and decor let out.
[20:27] <@BradGM> Fainting going to the outhouse, Alexi sneaked instead down into the cellar, and found a hidden passage deeper into the Mountain. Seeing that a small welcoming group was waiting for him to descent, he rejoined the others in the main room, reporting back his discovery.
[20:27] <@BradGM> Time is about 10 PM. The place is filled with you, and about a dozen patrons.
[20:29] <+Aithorn> "We'll have to strike tonight, otherwise they'll move and we won't see them again."
[20:29] * +Siluvaine glances at Edgerrin and speaks low. "Give us 2 minutes to get out back, then go open the back door for us to go in, so everyone doesn't see all of us going into the back."
[20:32] * @Edgerrin nods
[20:32] * +Siluvaine glances at the others then gets up and heads out the front door.
[20:33] * +Siluvaine grabs a healing draught from her bag and drinks it, feeling her aches disappear. (up to 10 wounds left)
[20:33] <@BradGM> ((k))
[20:34] * +Aithorn finishes his ale and walks out the front as well.
[20:34] * +Alexi will leave as well
[20:35] * +Siluvaine finishes the draught and glances around, looking for anyone observing us before heading to the back.
[20:37] <@BradGM> The streets are occuppied, but everyone seems to be in thier own little party.
[20:38] <@BradGM> The back is more quiet, the small back yard with the outhouse is still there.
[20:39] * +Siluvaine grips her staff tightly, waiting for Edgerrin.
[20:40] * +Aithorn stands around the corner so anybody who might be going to the outhouse won't stumble on him
[20:40] * @Edgerrin cracks open the door
[20:41] * +Aithorn moves for the door
[20:41] * @Edgerrin looks around then oprns it for everyone to get in
[20:42] * +Siluvaine lets the others go first, and tucks her quarterstaff in as closely as possible so she doesn't bang it around, and lets Alexi go first since he knows where everything is.
[20:42] <@BradGM> You wuold need to more down (or up) the stairs a bit as you cannot all stand on the small mid-level between the stairs.
[20:43] * +Aithorn goes straight in and down the stairs after Alexi
[20:44] <@BradGM> Alexi goes down, followed by Aithorn.
[20:46] * @Edgerrin closes the door and brings up the rear
[20:47] <@BradGM> Everyone roll intelligence.
[20:47] <@BradGM> Those with consume alchohol passes this automoatically.

[20:48] <Diceling> Siluvaine: 27 Success by 2 degrees!
[20:48] <+Siluvaine> ((woot! Even thogh I'm not sure I drank that much, I'll take it!))
[20:48] <+Alexi> auto-pass
[20:50] <@BradGM> While you all expect some combat below, the situation for those in the tavern is that Edgerrin when out back, so lingering might bring up some patron or the owner to look out back...eventually.
[20:51] * +Siluvaine hopes they might just think they're being sick and motions for everyone to hurry up.
[20:53] <@BradGM> The basement is as Alexi left it; filled with barrels of beer and liquor, and in the corner, empty barrels moved away to reveal a hole in the gorund with a ladder.
[20:53] * +Alexi points to the ladder
[20:54] <+Siluvaine> ((I take it there's no door to the basement, its just the stairs?))
[20:54] <@BradGM> ((Yup))
[20:54] * +Siluvaine glances behind them, but nods and motions for them to move on.

[20:55] <Diceling> Aithorn: 17 Success by 3 degrees!
[20:55] <+Siluvaine> ((Haven't started approaching it here yet))
[20:56] * +Aithorn stalks closer to the hole to see how wide/tall the tunnel might be
[20:57] <@BradGM> You see it is just a 10 foot deep hole with a ladder, carved into the mountain itself.
[20:58] <@BradGM> !dhroll 27 27
[20:58] <Diceling> BradGM: 48 Failure by 2 degrees!
[20:58] <@BradGM> !dhroll 27
[20:58] <Diceling> BradGM: 74 Failure by 4 degrees!
[20:58] <@BradGM> You can see light coming from the hole,, directly 'facing' you.
[21:02] * +Siluvaine waits by the stairs, making sure no one is coming down.
[21:03] <@BradGM> Roll perception, audio, aithorn.
[21:03] <+Aithorn> !dhroll 41
[21:03] <Diceling> Aithorn: 4 Success by 3 degrees!
[21:04] <+Aithorn> ((I not only heard the coin drop on the bar, but it landed heads up ;))
[21:05] <@BradGM> You can hear the presence of at least 2 person below.. no wait, 3. The third seems to be braeting like stressed or in shock of osrts.
[21:07] <@BradGM> breathing that is.
[21:08] * +Aithorn points down the hole, then at his ear, then holds up 3 fingers for Alexi and Edgerrin who may be watching before coming over
[21:09] * +Siluvaine nods and motions them to hurry up as she looks up the stairs, keeping watch.
[21:14] <+Aithorn> ((next time we assault a cultist den, we get the password first))
[21:15] <+Siluvaine> ((narf?))
[21:15] * +Alexi will slowly move over to the stairs
[21:16] <+Aithorn> ((the same thing we do every night, Pinky. Try to infiltrate another cultist den))
[21:16] <@BradGM> ((Alexi; the stairs up to the bar, or did oyu mean the ladder down the hole?))
[21:17] <+Alexi> (down the hole)

[21:24] <Diceling> Alexi: 17 Success by 1 degree!
[21:26] <@BradGM> You are certain there are 2 people below, but not 3.
[21:28] * +Alexi hefts his axe and looks at Aithorn questioningly
[21:28] * +Aithorn draws his sword and shield and nods
[21:29] * +Siluvaine glances back up the stairs again, motioning them on.
[21:29] <+Aithorn> ((Edgerrin? or has dinner claimed another one?))
[21:29] <@BradGM> ((hahaha))
[21:29] <@BradGM> ((dinner and kids, safe to assume he follows or is busy drinking thereserve))
[21:30] * +Aithorn slides down the ladder, raises his shield, and takes a step away to give Alexi time to come down
[21:30] * +Alexi follows quickly
[21:31] * @Edgerrin is right behind with his hammer
[21:32] <@BradGM> !dhroll 57

[21:32] <Diceling> BradGM: 34 Success by 2 degrees!
[21:32] <Diceling> BradGM: 32 Success by 2 degrees!
[21:32] * +Siluvaine moves over now that they've started down, waiting for them to clear the ladder.
[21:36] <@BradGM> You descent into the small hole which opens up onto a large carved somewhat circular room about 7x7. There is obvious signs of recent battle about, blood marks ever and there, not to mention about half dozen fresh cadavers. Thre is an altar of skull in the middle of the room, where a small cage is suspended and a man terridfied man is. But what catches your attntion is the pair of humans present; theri cltothes cut to shreds, bleeding, but visibly not in pain. One has his fingers about a feet in length each. The other has his lower face morphed into some freakish dog-like maw. They see you as you ready yourselves.

[22:26] <@BradGM> Combat lasted less than 15 seconds.

[22:27] <+Aithorn> ((WFRP-Yoga: Downward facing Cultist.))
[22:27] * +Siluvaine turns and holds her finger up to her lips and shushes Edgerrin, glancing upwards.
[22:28] * @Edgerrin looks up
[22:28] <@BradGM> The man looks at you for a few moment, until he seems to shake up back to reality. "Praise Sigmar, glory to Ulric..I thought I was a goner!"
[22:28] <@BradGM> Man "You with the other guy? I thought He'd left me here to die!"
[22:29] <@BradGM> He holds onto the bars and seems to try and force his face out of his cage "Please you got to get me out of ehre!"
[22:29] * +Siluvaine looks to see how to open the cage. "Oh good. I was hoping for that. He got hurt and they think he was part of the cult. We need you to testify that he was here fighting the cult."
[22:30] <+Aithorn> "Hush, or you'll bring more down here."
[22:31] * +Aithorn searches the bodies for keys to the lock (or anything else useful)
[22:31] * +Alexi looks around for maps, scrolls, or books
[22:32] <@BradGM> Aithron, both bodies has no key for the lock. Alexi, you find no notes or anything, but you do find a metallic book pedestal, where a broken metal chain is hanging from it.

[22:33] <@Edgerrin> ((this cage is on the ground or hanging?))
[22:33] <+Siluvaine> ((hanging over the altar AFAIK))
[22:33] * @Edgerrin looks for a way to lower it
[22:34] <@BradGM> ((hnaging besdie the altar, but hanging yeS))
[22:34] <@BradGM> It is a couple of feet from the ground, so you can interact with it and the man.
[22:34] * +Siluvaine looks at how strong the lock looks.
[22:34] <@BradGM> It is a metal lock, so you figure it would require some strength to break it open.
[22:35] * @Edgerrin walks up to the cage. He removes his back pack and pulls a small box out from it
[22:35] <@BradGM> ((you got no knowledge of picklocks,s so no way of really gauging the lock's difficulty))
[22:35] * @Edgerrin takes a small instrument and tries to insert it in the lock
[22:35] <@BradGM> Roll picklock Edgerrin.
[22:36] <@Edgerrin> !dhroll 44
[22:36] <Diceling> Edgerrin: 32 Success by 1 degree!
[22:37] * +Siluvaine looks rather surprised at that, but backs away and does her own search of the bodies and premises.
[22:37] <@Edgerrin> ((Ha! ever see a troll slayer do that :) ))
[22:37] <@BradGM> ((Mission 1: Sl;ayer pick locks, veryone is impressd...Mission 4: Slayer delivers a University course, party shits thier pants))
[22:38] <@Edgerrin> :)
[22:38] <+Aithorn> ((Mission Impossible: Slayer is lowered from a rope and breaks into the colleges of magic))
[22:38] <@BradGM> It takes you a minutes or so of fiddling around Edgerrin, but you get around picking the lock. The bodies have nothing on them, short of the everyday dagger everyone carries.
[22:39] <@BradGM> ((Slayer removes maks..turns out it was an elf all along))
[22:40] <@BradGM> The man quickly get out of the cage "Oh thank you thank you...They said I was gonna get killed to bless that place..I thought I was a goner for sure."
[22:40] * +Aithorn goes up to the stairs to watch for anybody coming down the hallway
[22:41] <+Alexi> "Vell, hyu need come vit us to talk to der churchmen."
[22:41] <+Siluvaine> "You'll be safe there."
[22:41] <@BradGM> It's been maybe 2, 3 minutes, so things loks calm form upstaris.
[22:41] <@BradGM> ((thank dge for not failing his pick test for that))
[22:42] * @Edgerrin puts the tools back in their case and puts them back in his pack. He then puts on his pack and readies his hammer for any other mischief
[22:42] * +Siluvaine takes up the rear, keeping the man in the middle of the group, just incase something happens and glances around one last time. "Alright, ready to move."
[22:42] <@BradGM> The Man seems hesitant "Churchmen? What? B..But i'm not one of them,! I'm a victim!"
[22:42] <+Siluvaine> "We know. You'll be safe there."
[22:43] * @Edgerrin keeps an eye on the nervous man
[22:43] <@BradGM> He looks around, then at you "O.ok.."
[22:43] <@BradGM> You climb back up.
[22:43] <@BradGM> Things seems to be acting up in the bar area, as it soudns like some brawling is happening.
[22:43] <@BradGM> !dhroll 4
[22:43] <Diceling> BradGM: 27 Failure by 2 degrees!
[22:44] * +Siluvaine continues along, listening for any signs people are coming into the back room or down the stairs.
[22:45] <+Aithorn> "Move a barrel back over the hole, it will buy us some extra time."
[22:45] <+Alexi> "Hokay."
[22:45] * +Alexi will do so
[22:47] <@BradGM> I suppose uyou all exit via the back door?
[22:48] * +Siluvaine hustles everyone out the back door as quietly as possible.
[22:49] <@BradGM> ((First one out..last one in.,))
[22:50] * +Siluvaine heads for the church, trying to atleast look normal, while keeping an eye out.
[22:50] <@BradGM> Outside, the man is visibly paniced, looking around, trying to get his bearings.
[22:51] <@BradGM> Man "This is madness! We need to tell the Watch!"
[22:51] * +Siluvaine keeps her face blank. "Don't worry, you'll be safe soon."
[22:51] <@BradGM> Man "I've been kidnapped."
[22:51] <@BradGM> Roll charm Siluvaine.
[22:51] <@BradGM> Or fellowship at least
[22:51] <+Siluvaine> !dhroll 43
[22:51] <Diceling> Siluvaine: 98 Failure by 5 degrees!
[22:51] <+Siluvaine> ((fuck sake. no fate))

[22:53] <@BradGM> Roll intitmidate+20 aithron.
[22:54] <+Aithorn> !dhroll 43
[22:54] <Diceling> Aithorn: 20 Success by 2 degrees!
[22:55] <@BradGM> The man was about to leave, but your quick snapping kept him in check; having Alexi and Edgerrin close also provides some degree of assistance.
[22:55] * +Siluvaine keeps moving once she's sure the idiot is going to bolt.
[22:56] <+Siluvaine> ((isn't))
[22:56] <@BradGM> You take the man to the back door of the Temple of Sigmar. The bald doctor, Fisher, is there with a few Temple guards.
[22:56] <@BradGM> ((damn!))
[22:57] <@BradGM> Fisher "Who's this then?"
[22:58] <+Alexi> "De cultists ver holding him captive."
[22:58] <+Siluvaine> "We found the other cultists. He was being held captive, and he can testify about your man fighting the cultists."
[22:59] <+Aithorn> "He says he saw Bauer's raid, although Stoltz will want to gauge if his testimony will be sufficient."
[23:00] <@BradGM> Fisher looks at the man "Is it true? you saw soemone attacking cultists?"
[23:00] <@BradGM> The man just nod "y.yeah."
[23:01] <@BradGM> Fisher "Fine, take him to a room, I'll get Hoffer."
[23:02] * +Siluvaine nods and moves the man along. "See, you'll be safe from the cultists here."
[23:02] <+Siluvaine> "Though hopefully they won't be much of a threat."
[23:03] * +Siluvaine looks at Fisher. "Oh, you might want to send someone to cleanse the basement beneath the Sword and Flail."
[23:03] <@BradGM> It takes an hour to get the whole story; the man, Johann Ofper, is a refugeee camped in the Great Park. He was kidnapped last night while walking Eastgate and was caged in the cultists' lair. Soon after, a man that fits Bauer's description, stormed in and killed numerous cult members, until he broke the book's chain and ran away bleeding alot.
[23:04] <@BradGM> The Sword and Flail's true prupose is forwarded to Stolz, who will inform Schutzmann; now is not the time for the church to go on a witch hunt with a witch Hunter on Trial.."
[23:07] * +Siluvaine shrugs as that isn't really her business, but..."That should be enough to get your man freed?"
[23:09] <@BradGM> Stolz "A good step yes, yes..I also beleive one of you shoudl stand witness of Bauer's Martial prowess, to reheinforce the fact that a single man would be capable of beating many his number."
[23:10] <+Siluvaine> ((have...any of us actually seen his prowess?))
[23:10] <+Aithorn> ((yes, when they rescued us from the beastmen while we were escaping with the skull))
[23:10] <+Siluvaine> ((other than a bunch of dead bodies?))
[23:10] <+Siluvaine> ((Ahyeah))
[23:10] <@BradGM> ((yup))
[23:11] * +Siluvaine thinks for a moment, then motions to Alexi. "Perhaps he would be best? A member of the Watch..and fewer issues I'm sure."
[23:11] <@BradGM> Stolz "Yes, this would be perfect. You do have your uniform?"
[23:13] <+Alexi> "Yah, hy din' vont to vear it ven off duty."
[23:15] * +Siluvaine lets them deal with the accent.
[23:15] <@BradGM> Stolz "Of course. Would you wear it at the trail?..If you do accept to stand witness on Bauer's behalf?"
[23:16] <+Alexi> "Ho yez, Hy could do dot."
[23:18] * +Siluvaine waits silently for any other caveats.
[23:18] <@BradGM> Stolz nods in approval.
[23:18] <+Aithorn> "What else do we need to do then? You have Opfer as a witness and our testimony, what remains?"
[23:18] * Retrieving #shadowrun modes...
[23:18] <+Aithorn> ((what *else remains))
[23:19] <@BradGM> Stolz "Merely the trail itself to be concluded. After this, tensions will diminnish and you ought to be of lesser importance or concern to Liebnitz's intrest and would be allowed to go on your way."
[23:20] <@BradGM> ((Trail=trial))
[23:21] <+Siluvaine> ((How long until the trial?))
[23:22] <@BradGM> ((2 days now.))
[23:22] <@BradGM> ((well, next morning would be 2 days left))
[23:22] <+Siluvaine> "And what should we do until then?"
[23:25] <@BradGM> Stolz "As agreed, you are free to rest here. The library is at your disposition. And while I will not stop you from going into the City, I cannot garantee your safety nor protection."
[23:26] * +Siluvaine nods.
[23:27] * +Siluvaine glances around at the others. "Well, I don't know about them, but I have commitments which mean I can't stay here."
[23:28] <+Alexi> "Hy needs to rest op before de trial."
[23:28] <@BradGM> Stolz "Of course, your studies at the Wizard's guild. Not a safer place in all Middenheim for one such sas yourself."
[23:29] * +Siluvaine nods. "And I suppose any thanks will have ot wait until after the trial?"
[23:29] <@Edgerrin> "I tiant nuthin i really need ta do. Sum rest wud be nice."
[23:30] <@BradGM> Stolz "You may thank us at any time my dear; we are not so ceremonial on such things."
[23:30] <+Aithorn> ((ha!))
[23:30] <@BradGM> Stolz "Fell free to use the room allocated to you, my friends."
[23:31] * +Siluvaine tries not to sigh as she gets to her feet and nods. "Send word to the Guild if I am needed."
[23:33] <@BradGM> Stolz nods and dismiss you with a wave of the hand.
[23:33] <@BradGM> ((Ok if we stop it here?))
[23:33] <@Edgerrin> yup
[23:33] <+Siluvaine> ((That's fine))
[23:34] <@BradGM> *End of Session*
[20:27] <@BradGM> Skulking around Eastgate after dark, the Party found some possible locations for a Khorne-cult to hide: Abandoned and active fighting pits and a few known troubled hot spots known to be brawl-heavy. The pits proved dead-ends all, but one tavern, the Sword and Flail, was much more than its’ lack of furniture and decor let out.
[20:27] <@BradGM> Fainting going to the outhouse, Alexi sneaked instead down into the cellar, and found a hidden passage deeper into the Mountain. Seeing that a small welcoming group was waiting for him to descent, he rejoined the others in the main room, reporting back his discovery.
[20:27] <@BradGM> Time is about 10 PM. The place is filled with you, and about a dozen patrons.
[20:29] <+Aithorn> "We'll have to strike tonight, otherwise they'll move and we won't see them again."
[20:29] * +Siluvaine glances at Edgerrin and speaks low. "Give us 2 minutes to get out back, then go open the back door for us to go in, so everyone doesn't see all of us going into the back."
[20:32] * @Edgerrin nods
[20:32] * +Siluvaine glances at the others then gets up and heads out the front door.
[20:33] * +Siluvaine grabs a healing draught from her bag and drinks it, feeling her aches disappear. (up to 10 wounds left)
[20:33] <@BradGM> ((k))
[20:34] * +Aithorn finishes his ale and walks out the front as well.
[20:34] * +Alexi will leave as well
[20:35] * +Siluvaine finishes the draught and glances around, looking for anyone observing us before heading to the back.
[20:37] <@BradGM> The streets are occuppied, but everyone seems to be in thier own little party.
[20:38] <@BradGM> The back is more quiet, the small back yard with the outhouse is still there.
[20:39] * +Siluvaine grips her staff tightly, waiting for Edgerrin.
[20:40] * +Aithorn stands around the corner so anybody who might be going to the outhouse won't stumble on him
[20:40] * @Edgerrin cracks open the door
[20:41] * +Aithorn moves for the door
[20:41] * @Edgerrin looks around then oprns it for everyone to get in
[20:42] * +Siluvaine lets the others go first, and tucks her quarterstaff in as closely as possible so she doesn't bang it around, and lets Alexi go first since he knows where everything is.
[20:42] <@BradGM> You wuold need to more down (or up) the stairs a bit as you cannot all stand on the small mid-level between the stairs.
[20:43] * +Aithorn goes straight in and down the stairs after Alexi
[20:44] <@BradGM> Alexi goes down, followed by Aithorn.
[20:46] * @Edgerrin closes the door and brings up the rear
[20:47] <@BradGM> Everyone roll intelligence.
[20:47] <@BradGM> Those with consume alchohol passes this automoatically.

[20:48] <+Siluvaine> ((woot! Even thogh I'm not sure I drank that much, I'll take it!))
[20:48] <+Alexi> auto-pass
[20:50] <@BradGM> While you all expect some combat below, the situation for those in the tavern is that Edgerrin when out back, so lingering might bring up some patron or the owner to look out back...eventually.
[20:51] * +Siluvaine hopes they might just think they're being sick and motions for everyone to hurry up.
[20:53] <@BradGM> The basement is as Alexi left it; filled with barrels of beer and liquor, and in the corner, empty barrels moved away to reveal a hole in the gorund with a ladder.
[20:53] * +Alexi points to the ladder
[20:54] <+Siluvaine> ((I take it there's no door to the basement, its just the stairs?))
[20:54] <@BradGM> ((Yup))
[20:54] * +Siluvaine glances behind them, but nods and motions for them to move on.
[20:54] <@BradGM> those who apporach it, roll silent move

[20:55] <Diceling> Aithorn: 17 Success by 3 degrees!
[20:55] <+Siluvaine> ((Haven't started approaching it here yet))
[20:56] * +Aithorn stalks closer to the hole to see how wide/tall the tunnel might be
[20:57] <@BradGM> You see it is just a 10 foot deep hole with a ladder, carved into the mountain itself.
[20:58] <@BradGM> !dhroll 27 27

[20:58] <@BradGM> You can see light coming from the hole,, directly 'facing' you.

[21:03] <Diceling> Aithorn: 4 Success by 3 degrees!
[21:04] <+Aithorn> ((I not only heard the coin drop on the bar, but it landed heads up ;))
[21:05] <@BradGM> You can hear the presence of at least 2 person below.. no wait, 3. The third seems to be braeting like stressed or in shock of osrts.
[21:07] <@BradGM> breathing that is.
[21:08] * +Aithorn points down the hole, then at his ear, then holds up 3 fingers for Alexi and Edgerrin who may be watching before coming over
[21:09] * +Siluvaine nods and motions them to hurry up as she looks up the stairs, keeping watch.
[21:14] <+Aithorn> ((next time we assault a cultist den, we get the password first))
[21:15] <+Siluvaine> ((narf?))
[21:15] * +Alexi will slowly move over to the stairs
[21:16] <+Aithorn> ((the same thing we do every night, Pinky. Try to infiltrate another cultist den))
[21:16] <@BradGM> ((Alexi; the stairs up to the bar, or did oyu mean the ladder down the hole?))
[21:17] <+Alexi> (down the hole)

[21:26] <@BradGM> You are certain there are 2 people below, but not 3.
[21:28] * +Alexi hefts his axe and looks at Aithorn questioningly
[21:28] * +Aithorn draws his sword and shield and nods
[21:29] * +Siluvaine glances back up the stairs again, motioning them on.
[21:29] <+Aithorn> ((Edgerrin? or has dinner claimed another one?))
[21:29] <@BradGM> ((hahaha))
[21:29] <@BradGM> ((dinner and kids, safe to assume he follows or is busy drinking thereserve))
[21:30] * +Aithorn slides down the ladder, raises his shield, and takes a step away to give Alexi time to come down
[21:30] * +Alexi follows quickly
[21:31] * @Edgerrin is right behind with his hammer
[21:32] <@BradGM> !dhroll 57

[21:32] * +Siluvaine moves over now that they've started down, waiting for them to clear the ladder.
[21:36] <@BradGM> You descent into the small hole which opens up onto a large carved somewhat circular room about 7x7. There is obvious signs of recent battle about, blood marks ever and there, not to mention about half dozen fresh cadavers. Thre is an altar of skull in the middle of the room, where a small cage is suspended and a man terridfied man is. But what catches your attntion is the pair of humans present; theri cltothes cut to shreds, bleeding, but visibly not in pain. One has his fingers about a feet in length each. The other has his lower face morphed into some freakish dog-like maw. They see you as you ready yourselves.

[22:01] <+Alexi> ((Does it count if my TB and armor would reduce the damage to less than 0?))
[22:02] <@BradGM> ((ah ok))
[22:02] <@BradGM> He seems to want to keep his bite solid, but Alaexi managed to wiggle out, as he cleary had not stuck his fangs deep enough.
[22:02] <@BradGM> New Round!
[22:02] <@BradGM> Aithorn!
[22:03] <+Alexi> ((SO glad I'm a tough summitch))

[22:06] <@BradGM> Siluvaine! You are now down the ladder and see the scene just a few meters away. The winds are also weak here: you get -1 to your casting roll if you cast something.
[22:07] * +Siluvaine takes a deep breath and tries to cast a magical dart at dogface.
[22:07] <+Siluvaine> ((channeling))

[22:12] <@Edgerrin> want me to rool the d again?
[22:14] <@BradGM> no
[22:15] <@BradGM> Edgerrin swings like a maniac, as usual to no regard to his close companions in the melee, and delivers a mind-shattering blow that literally shatterd clawman's skull clean off his shoulder, leaving behind a bloody stump that was once his neck.
[22:15] <@BradGM> Dogface attacks Alexi!

[22:17] <+Alexi> okay...that's going to do damage...
[22:17] <@BradGM> If you damage roll toughness
[22:18] * +Alexi looks up Mail Coat + Leather Jack again

[22:18] <@BradGM> Roll toughness.

[22:18] <Diceling> Alexi: 42 Success by 0 degrees!
[22:19] <@BradGM> Dogface bites deep, but despite being somewhat 'stuck' to you Alexi, he is not fanging into your innars for now!
[22:19] <@BradGM> New round! Dogface is holding onto Alexi.
[22:19] <@BradGM> Aithron
[22:21] <+Aithorn> ((move and attack Dogface, just the +10 for 2v1? or more because he's embedded on Alexi?))

[22:22] <Diceling> Aithorn: 1
[22:22] <@BradGM> ((pff!))
[22:22] <+Aithorn> ((lol, every bit helps))
[22:22] <+Siluvaine> ((Anti-climatic!))
[22:24] <@BradGM> Aithorn moves and stabs his sowrd into Dogface's neck and spine. Alexi feels some degree of release before dogface lump onto the ground, doing the bacon for a oment before stoping moving all toghter.
[22:24] <@BradGM> End of combat.
[22:24] <+Aithorn> (("doing the bacon"?? some new WFRP-yoga pose??))
[22:24] <+Alexi> "Dot vos unpleasent." Alexi will poke his injured area
[22:24] * @Edgerrin pats Aithorn on the back 1"Not bad lad, almost as gud as a dwarf."
[22:25] * +Siluvaine blinks and lowers her staff from where she had raised it to charge into combat. "Well."
[22:25] <@BradGM> ((comgin form french; you're on the gorund, shaking, i.e like a piece of bacon in a hotpan))
[22:26] <@BradGM> Combat lasted less than 15 seconds.
[22:27] * +Aithorn smiles "Just don't tell my clan if you ever go to Athel Loren. I'd never hear the end of it."
[22:27] * @Edgerrin laughs a good hearty laugh
[22:27] * +Siluvaine moves over to the guy in the cage, looking him over. "Are you alright?"
[22:27] <+Aithorn> ((WFRP-Yoga: Downward facing Cultist.))
[22:27] * +Siluvaine turns and holds her finger up to her lips and shushes Edgerrin, glancing upwards.
[22:28] * @Edgerrin looks up
[22:28] <@BradGM> The man looks at you for a few moment, until he seems to shake up back to reality. "Praise Sigmar, glory to Ulric..I thought I was a goner!"
[22:28] <@BradGM> Man "You with the other guy? I thought He'd left me here to die!"
[22:29] <@BradGM> He holds onto the bars and seems to try and force his face out of his cage "Please you got to get me out of ehre!"
[22:29] * +Siluvaine looks to see how to open the cage. "Oh good. I was hoping for that. He got hurt and they think he was part of the cult. We need you to testify that he was here fighting the cult."
[22:30] <+Aithorn> "Hush, or you'll bring more down here."
[22:31] * +Aithorn searches the bodies for keys to the lock (or anything else useful)
[22:31] * +Alexi looks around for maps, scrolls, or books
[22:32] <@BradGM> Aithron, both bodies has no key for the lock. Alexi, you find no notes or anything, but you do find a metallic book pedestal, where a broken metal chain is hanging from it.
[22:33] <+Alexi> "Vell, dis must be vere de book vos."
[22:33] <@Edgerrin> ((this cage is on the ground or hanging?))
[22:33] <+Siluvaine> ((hanging over the altar AFAIK))
[22:33] * @Edgerrin looks for a way to lower it
[22:34] <@BradGM> ((hnaging besdie the altar, but hanging yeS))
[22:34] <@BradGM> It is a couple of feet from the ground, so you can interact with it and the man.
[22:34] * +Siluvaine looks at how strong the lock looks.
[22:34] <@BradGM> It is a metal lock, so you figure it would require some strength to break it open.
[22:35] * @Edgerrin walks up to the cage. He removes his back pack and pulls a small box out from it
[22:35] <@BradGM> ((you got no knowledge of picklocks,s so no way of really gauging the lock's difficulty))
[22:35] * @Edgerrin takes a small instrument and tries to insert it in the lock
[22:35] <@BradGM> Roll picklock Edgerrin.
[22:36] <@Edgerrin> !dhroll 44
[22:36] <Diceling> Edgerrin: 32 Success by 1 degree!
[22:37] * +Siluvaine looks rather surprised at that, but backs away and does her own search of the bodies and premises.
[22:37] <@Edgerrin> ((Ha! ever see a troll slayer do that :) ))
[22:37] <@BradGM> ((Mission 1: Sl;ayer pick locks, veryone is impressd...Mission 4: Slayer delivers a University course, party shits thier pants))
[22:38] <@Edgerrin> :)
[22:38] <+Aithorn> ((Mission Impossible: Slayer is lowered from a rope and breaks into the colleges of magic))
[22:38] <@BradGM> It takes you a minutes or so of fiddling around Edgerrin, but you get around picking the lock. The bodies have nothing on them, short of the everyday dagger everyone carries.
[22:39] <@BradGM> ((Slayer removes maks..turns out it was an elf all along))
[22:40] <@BradGM> The man quickly get out of the cage "Oh thank you thank you...They said I was gonna get killed to bless that place..I thought I was a goner for sure."
[22:40] * +Aithorn goes up to the stairs to watch for anybody coming down the hallway
[22:41] <+Alexi> "Vell, hyu need come vit us to talk to der churchmen."
[22:41] <+Siluvaine> "You'll be safe there."
[22:41] <@BradGM> It's been maybe 2, 3 minutes, so things loks calm form upstaris.
[22:41] <@BradGM> ((thank dge for not failing his pick test for that))
[22:42] * @Edgerrin puts the tools back in their case and puts them back in his pack. He then puts on his pack and readies his hammer for any other mischief
[22:42] * +Siluvaine takes up the rear, keeping the man in the middle of the group, just incase something happens and glances around one last time. "Alright, ready to move."
[22:42] <@BradGM> The Man seems hesitant "Churchmen? What? B..But i'm not one of them,! I'm a victim!"
[22:42] <+Siluvaine> "We know. You'll be safe there."
[22:43] * @Edgerrin keeps an eye on the nervous man
[22:43] <@BradGM> He looks around, then at you "O.ok.."
[22:43] <@BradGM> You climb back up.
[22:43] <@BradGM> Things seems to be acting up in the bar area, as it soudns like some brawling is happening.
[22:43] <@BradGM> !dhroll 4
[22:43] <Diceling> BradGM: 27 Failure by 2 degrees!
[22:44] * +Siluvaine continues along, listening for any signs people are coming into the back room or down the stairs.
[22:45] <+Aithorn> "Move a barrel back over the hole, it will buy us some extra time."
[22:45] <+Alexi> "Hokay."
[22:45] * +Alexi will do so
[22:47] <@BradGM> I suppose uyou all exit via the back door?
[22:48] * +Siluvaine hustles everyone out the back door as quietly as possible.
[22:49] <@BradGM> ((First one out..last one in.,))
[22:50] * +Siluvaine heads for the church, trying to atleast look normal, while keeping an eye out.
[22:50] <@BradGM> Outside, the man is visibly paniced, looking around, trying to get his bearings.
[22:51] <@BradGM> Man "This is madness! We need to tell the Watch!"
[22:51] * +Siluvaine keeps her face blank. "Don't worry, you'll be safe soon."
[22:51] <@BradGM> Man "I've been kidnapped."
[22:51] <@BradGM> Roll charm Siluvaine.
[22:51] <@BradGM> Or fellowship at least
[22:51] <+Siluvaine> !dhroll 43
[22:51] <Diceling> Siluvaine: 98 Failure by 5 degrees!
[22:51] <+Siluvaine> ((fuck sake. no fate))
[22:52] * +Aithorn snaps "We are the watch! Now stay quiet for now"
[22:53] <@BradGM> Roll intitmidate+20 aithron.
[22:54] <+Aithorn> !dhroll 43
[22:54] <Diceling> Aithorn: 20 Success by 2 degrees!
[22:55] <@BradGM> The man was about to leave, but your quick snapping kept him in check; having Alexi and Edgerrin close also provides some degree of assistance.
[22:55] * +Siluvaine keeps moving once she's sure the idiot is going to bolt.
[22:56] <+Siluvaine> ((isn't))
[22:56] <@BradGM> You take the man to the back door of the Temple of Sigmar. The bald doctor, Fisher, is there with a few Temple guards.
[22:56] <@BradGM> ((damn!))
[22:57] <@BradGM> Fisher "Who's this then?"
[22:58] <+Alexi> "De cultists ver holding him captive."
[22:58] <+Siluvaine> "We found the other cultists. He was being held captive, and he can testify about your man fighting the cultists."
[22:59] <+Aithorn> "He says he saw Bauer's raid, although Stoltz will want to gauge if his testimony will be sufficient."
[23:00] <@BradGM> Fisher looks at the man "Is it true? you saw soemone attacking cultists?"
[23:00] <@BradGM> The man just nod "y.yeah."
[23:01] <@BradGM> Fisher "Fine, take him to a room, I'll get Hoffer."
[23:02] * +Siluvaine nods and moves the man along. "See, you'll be safe from the cultists here."
[23:02] <+Siluvaine> "Though hopefully they won't be much of a threat."
[23:03] * +Siluvaine looks at Fisher. "Oh, you might want to send someone to cleanse the basement beneath the Sword and Flail."
[23:03] <@BradGM> It takes an hour to get the whole story; the man, Johann Ofper, is a refugeee camped in the Great Park. He was kidnapped last night while walking Eastgate and was caged in the cultists' lair. Soon after, a man that fits Bauer's description, stormed in and killed numerous cult members, until he broke the book's chain and ran away bleeding alot.
[23:04] <@BradGM> The Sword and Flail's true prupose is forwarded to Stolz, who will inform Schutzmann; now is not the time for the church to go on a witch hunt with a witch Hunter on Trial.."
[23:07] * +Siluvaine shrugs as that isn't really her business, but..."That should be enough to get your man freed?"
[23:09] <@BradGM> Stolz "A good step yes, yes..I also beleive one of you shoudl stand witness of Bauer's Martial prowess, to reheinforce the fact that a single man would be capable of beating many his number."
[23:10] <+Siluvaine> ((have...any of us actually seen his prowess?))
[23:10] <+Aithorn> ((yes, when they rescued us from the beastmen while we were escaping with the skull))
[23:10] <+Siluvaine> ((other than a bunch of dead bodies?))
[23:10] <+Siluvaine> ((Ahyeah))
[23:10] <@BradGM> ((yup))
[23:11] * +Siluvaine thinks for a moment, then motions to Alexi. "Perhaps he would be best? A member of the Watch..and fewer issues I'm sure."
[23:11] <@BradGM> Stolz "Yes, this would be perfect. You do have your uniform?"
[23:13] <+Alexi> "Yah, hy din' vont to vear it ven off duty."
[23:15] * +Siluvaine lets them deal with the accent.
[23:15] <@BradGM> Stolz "Of course. Would you wear it at the trail?..If you do accept to stand witness on Bauer's behalf?"
[23:16] <+Alexi> "Ho yez, Hy could do dot."
[23:18] * +Siluvaine waits silently for any other caveats.
[23:18] <@BradGM> Stolz nods in approval.
[23:18] <+Aithorn> "What else do we need to do then? You have Opfer as a witness and our testimony, what remains?"
[23:18] * Retrieving #shadowrun modes...
[23:18] <+Aithorn> ((what *else remains))
[23:19] <@BradGM> Stolz "Merely the trail itself to be concluded. After this, tensions will diminnish and you ought to be of lesser importance or concern to Liebnitz's intrest and would be allowed to go on your way."
[23:20] <@BradGM> ((Trail=trial))
[23:21] <+Siluvaine> ((How long until the trial?))
[23:22] <@BradGM> ((2 days now.))
[23:22] <@BradGM> ((well, next morning would be 2 days left))
[23:22] <+Siluvaine> "And what should we do until then?"
[23:25] <@BradGM> Stolz "As agreed, you are free to rest here. The library is at your disposition. And while I will not stop you from going into the City, I cannot garantee your safety nor protection."
[23:26] * +Siluvaine nods.
[23:27] * +Siluvaine glances around at the others. "Well, I don't know about them, but I have commitments which mean I can't stay here."
[23:28] <+Alexi> "Hy needs to rest op before de trial."
[23:28] <@BradGM> Stolz "Of course, your studies at the Wizard's guild. Not a safer place in all Middenheim for one such sas yourself."
[23:29] * +Siluvaine nods. "And I suppose any thanks will have ot wait until after the trial?"
[23:29] <@Edgerrin> "I tiant nuthin i really need ta do. Sum rest wud be nice."
[23:30] <@BradGM> Stolz "You may thank us at any time my dear; we are not so ceremonial on such things."
[23:30] <+Aithorn> ((ha!))
[23:30] <@BradGM> Stolz "Fell free to use the room allocated to you, my friends."
[23:31] * +Siluvaine tries not to sigh as she gets to her feet and nods. "Send word to the Guild if I am needed."
[23:33] <@BradGM> Stolz nods and dismiss you with a wave of the hand.
[23:33] <@BradGM> ((Ok if we stop it here?))
[23:33] <@Edgerrin> yup
[23:33] <+Siluvaine> ((That's fine))
[23:34] <@BradGM> *End of Session*
