[20:22] <@BradGM> While Middenheim was over-populated by refugees, Altdorf is literally drowning in people; the streets are packed with folks from all over the Empire, and even the Old World, trying to elbow themselves around the City. The streets themselves are almost covered by the jetting houses, and the stench...it appears that every district has its own particular, and rarely appealing, smell. [20:22] <@BradGM> After putting their foot down at the Smoking Table tavern, the Party discovered two other particularities of the Capital. Riots for whatever reasons seems common, and the presence of the Colleges of Magic seems to have altered one’s natural sense of orientation. Making their way to the Celestial College, a building oblivious to all but those touched by magic, they gained an interview with the never surprised Master Klemperer. [20:22] <@BradGM> Gaining his assistance in searching for the Dagger of Yul K’chaum, he did explained his socialising days were over, but one of his last friends, a certain Lord Frederik, may be able to help the Party navigate the social battlefield that is Altdorf society, and taking notice to Aithorn and Edgerrin’s lack of social graces. [20:22] <@BradGM> . Taking their leave as the evening is beginning, it was decided to take a room at an inn for tonight rather than arrive at such hour at an unknown man’s walled estate.
[20:23] <@BradGM> You are near the back door of the Celestial College, the streets are stilled filled with people rahter well to-do, being on the good side of the Reik.
[20:23] * +Siluvaine asks the stableboy where to find a good place to stay.
[20:23] <+Ulrich> "what just happened? I blacked out..."
[20:23] <+Ulrich> (hehehe)
[20:25] <@BradGM> Stable boy "Well, there's the Imperial Inn in the Plaza. Good ale, and the food's is actually eatable!"
[20:26] <+Ulrich> "FOOD! yes!"
[20:26] <+Siluvaine> "Well, we might have some help other than the church." She glances at the stableboy. "How expensive?"
[20:26] * +Aithorn reaffixes his hood over his mouth and nose as he prepares to go back out in the stench.
[20:26] <+Ulrich> "he is a stable boy, probably doesn't even leave the horses dear, how would he know?"
[20:27] <+Siluvaine> "Because people probably ask him this every day?"
[20:27] <@BradGM> The Stable boy makes a face "Meh..well, if you don't take the Omelette of magic, it's..ok." [20:28] * +Ulrich snorts [20:29] <+Ulrich> "magic omelette" [20:30] <@BradGM> Stable boy "yeah, got 8 kinds of eggs in it." [20:30] <@BradGM> ((as they are 8 Colleges of Magic..)) [20:30] <+Ulrich> "disgusting, 1 type is enough" [20:31] <+Ulrich> "ok, so anything non egg to eat?" [20:31] <+Aithorn> "I guess that's why they're called the 8 winds..." [20:31] * +Ulrich laughs [20:31] <+Ulrich> "good one" [20:32] <+Ulrich> "good to see one elf has a sense or humor among us" [20:33] <@BradGM> Stable Boy "yeah..usual stuff really, the Omelette of Magic's the house specialty." [20:33] <+Ulrich> "lets get some food and be about our business, this city tries my patience, and my nose" [20:35] * +Siluvaine nods. "Which way?" [20:35] <@BradGM> The Stable boy points toward the front fo the college, near the plaza where the Imperial Palace and the Temple of sigmar are located
[20:36] * +Siluvaine nods and tosses him a penny. "Thanks."
[20:37] * +Ulrich looks at that penny, then the others...
[20:37] * +Aithorn raises an eyebrow and shrugs
[20:37] <+Ulrich> "is she feeling ok?"
[20:38] <+Ulrich> "did you get hit by one of those arrows Sil?"
[20:38] <+Ulrich> "are you bleeding somewhere?"
[20:38] <@Edgerrin> "we think she got sick when she entered dem gates."
[20:38] <@Edgerrin> "Been 'aving bouts of generosity"
[20:38] <@BradGM> !dhroll 100
[20:38] <Diceling> BradGM: 12 Success by 8 degrees!
[20:38] * +Ulrich is shocked but keeps moving
[20:38] <@BradGM> ((nice!))
[20:38] <@BradGM> !roll 1d10
[20:38] <Diceling> BradGM: 5
[20:39] <+Aithorn> ((halfling swarm?))
[20:39] * +Ulrich cripple fights?"
[20:39] <+Ulrich> (opps)
[20:40] * +Aithorn keeps moving toward the inn the stableboy spoke of
[20:40] <+Siluvaine> ((brb, need to figure out where these ants are coming from))
[20:40] <+Ulrich> (that was very random)
[20:40] <@BradGM> As yuou arrive at the Plaza, you see a gathering of people, protesting and yelling about a Sewer Tax "This tax Stinks!!" "I got to throw my salary into the shitter? I'd rather die!"
[20:41] <@BradGM> Fortunately, heavy Watch presence seems to calm everyone's violent tendencies for the time being.
[20:41] * +Ulrich "very possible if the sewage stops working"
[20:42] <@BradGM> You can mae your way across and see the Imperial Inn, a mederately sized 4 stories building that seems well aged, but still strong.
[20:43] <@BradGM> They also offer stable service.
[20:44] <@BradGM> ((2 shillings for the horse))
[20:44] * +Aithorn goes inside and checks out the common room for some dinner
[20:44] * @Edgerrin follows
[20:45] * +Ulrich does too
[20:46] * +Siluvaine stables the horse and heads inside, not really wanting to know what hte cost might be.
[20:46] <@BradGM> Inside, the place is filled; half the patron stop their chat and look up to you as you enter, Altdorfers by their clothing, the other half doens't care at all. The decor is something else; filled with numerous painting of the elector-counts, decorative weapons, odd (magical?) symbols and strange esoteric objects, it is rather elaborate and adds a level to the place; yu'd almost forget the sticky floors...
[20:47] * @Edgerrin finds a table
[20:47] <@BradGM> Ale's 2 pence each, beer's 3; meals are 6 pences each, and actually smell and taste decent. The omelette of Magic is a Crown, but it is a loaded omelette
[20:48] <@BradGM> !dhroll 50
[20:48] <Diceling> BradGM: 10 Success by 4 degrees!
[20:48] * +Siluvaine is definitely staying away from the omelette, though she does study the odd symbols.
[20:48] <@BradGM> Edgerrin, you can find a couple of tables free, on'es even a bit off in the corner, or at least more isolated than the others.
[20:49] * @Edgerrin heads to the one in the corner
[20:49] <@BradGM> Siluvaine, you recognise the symbols being the different symbols of the different winds of Magic.
[20:49] * +Ulrich will take a meal, and a beer
[20:49] * @Edgerrin will sit in a chair or on a bench and order a meal and a pitcher of beer
[20:50] * +Alexi will do likewise
[20:50] <@BradGM> You all sit down near a painting of Elector-Count Marius Leitdorf of Averland, duellist, inventor, statesman- and known also as the Mad Count of Averland because he's totally off his bonkers..
[20:50] * +Aithorn follows Edgerrin to the table and gets a meal/drinks
[20:51] <@BradGM> ((just slide off the money))
[20:51] * +Siluvaine settles in and gets a meal, glancing around. "Well. Better than we're used to."
[20:51] <@Edgerrin> ((how much is a pitcher?))
[20:52] <@BradGM> As for the rooms, the common room beds are 2 pences a night, single rooms are 1/2p, doulbes are 1/8p. The best rooms are 3/, but comes with bath and smelling herbs to help litigate the city smell. it is also on the top floor or you may even get wind.
[20:52] <@BradGM> ((10 pence, good for 6 pints))
[20:53] <@BradGM> ((oh sorry, that's for ale; beer is 15p, same quantity))
[20:54] * +Ulrich "this place is rather cheap compared to other places we have stayed"
[20:54] <+Siluvaine> "So do we all go to the wizard's friend, or do some of us try the church at the same time?"
[20:54] <@BradGM> You get your meal and drinks. Looking about, the non-locals seems to be more pilgrims, merchants, officials and human outsiders (non-Imperials).
[20:55] <@Edgerrin> 6when the food arrives Edge will pay his bill and tip the barmaid a pence
[20:56] <@BradGM> Averland potatoes, Nordland Trout and mixed with Talabec game and Wissenland vegetables; according to the barmiad, youR'e eating hafl the empire in your bowl of stew
[20:57] <@BradGM> the Barmaid takes the tip "Aw, thanks luv'." [20:57] * +Ulrich "I could try the church" [20:58] * @Edgerrin waves his hand at the group and says to the barmaid 1"We be a mix of stew from all o'er too." [20:58] * +Ulrich chokes on his beer [20:58] <+Aithorn> "We might want to split up, we can cover more ground that way, but how to decide who goes where?" [20:59] <@BradGM> Barmiad "Aye, strange lot I'd say, must be some caravan guard huh?" [20:59] <+Ulrich> "i'll bring Edg with me, Sigmarites deal better with dwarves than magic users" [21:00] * +Siluvaine nods. [21:00] <+Ulrich> "alexi should go with you two though, just to have a "human" with you just incase some trouble starts" [21:00] <@BradGM> !roll 1d5 1a 2ai 3u 4 e 5 s [21:00] <Diceling> BradGM, 1a 2ai 3u 4 e 5 s: 3 [21:01] <@BradGM> ((keep going, that's for latR)) [21:02] <+Siluvaine> "Well, hopefully the letter will help, but this city is strange enough." [21:02] <@Edgerrin> "I'd like ta see if I can find a runesmith that was recomended ta me to fix the hammer I found." [21:02] <+Ulrich> "exactly, and i would be happy to be out of it and its masma as soon as possible" [21:03] <+Ulrich> "ok, that we can do to my dear dwarf" [21:04] <@BradGM> You eat and char and plan ahead...Ulrich someone taps your arm; As you turn you see an unchin, with dirty, but practical clothing, maybe aged around 11 or 12. He taps his cap slightly to you before giving you a sealed enveloppe. [21:04] <+Ulrich> "sigmar temple may actually know where to find him" [21:04] <@BradGM> ((and chat, dammit!)) [21:04] <@BradGM> ((no char..damn)) [21:05] <+Ulrich> "whats this?" [21:05] <@BradGM> Boy "A letter sir." [21:05] <+Ulrich> "i can see that! from?" [21:05] <@BradGM> He shurgs "I just deliver sir, I dunno."
[21:06] <+Ulrich> "ok. here"
[21:06] <@Edgerrin> "Give the lad a coin fer his troubles man."
[21:06] * +Ulrich rummages in his pocket and gives the boy a shilling
[21:07] <+Ulrich> "get your clothes washed lad"
[21:07] <@BradGM> The boy's eyes widen "Gee, thanks mister!" *He runs off, quite happy about such a tip!* [21:07] <+Ulrich> "and some food too" [21:07] <+Ulrich> "i bet he goes to buy candy with it...." [21:07] <+Siluvaine> "You give him money and tell him to get his clothes washed?" [21:08] <@BradGM> The envelopped is acually a piece of paper, folden onto itself and waxed sealed; it seems someone used a Crown to seal it off, but it slipped as the engraving is messed up. [21:08] <+Ulrich> "you ride a horse but bitch about the taxes?" [21:09] * +Ulrich opens the letter [21:09] <+Ulrich> "anyone else want to read it?" [21:09] <+Ulrich> "just in case its poisoned or something" [21:09] * +Ulrich grins [21:10] * +Siluvaine wonders if Ulrich can actually read it... [21:10] <+Ulrich> "no? ok then" [21:10] * +Ulrich reads the letter [21:11] <@BradGM> You open the letter...and suddenly a deamon jumps out of the letter and onto the table! It is 4 feet tall, but his legs are a mass of half foot long tentacles. His 3 eyes burns of a yellowish tint, and his muscular armes ends of long obsidian-like nails. [21:11] <@BradGM> Everyone roll WP versus Fear! [21:11] <+Ulrich> (are you fucking kidding me?)

The other half take their drinks and chiar, kick the table sideways and sit behind its cover. [21:14] <+Aithorn> ((what in the wide wide world of sports is a kenny-daemon?))

A small, crude drawing of a human skull in a dried up drowish substance your recognise as blood. The symbol you recognise as well. That of the Crimson Skull, the Cult High Priest Liebnitz was a mamber of, and which cult base was hidden under the Sword and Flail in Middenheim.

[21:56] <@BradGM> ((WEll, you made your choice I suppose...I guess you got to walk the slayer path to atone for this..oh wait))
[21:57] <@BradGM> The owner also pays for a pticher of finer beer, compliments of the house for the troubles.
[21:57] <+Siluvaine> "So. Didn't take long for them to find out we're in town."
[21:58] <@BradGM> Edgerrin, you'll also have to kill somehting in the Inn to maybe get to sell it to the owner.
[22:00] <+Aithorn> "I would like to know how they traced us here, unless we were followed we didn't announce ourselves too much."
[22:00] <@BradGM> ((Still, you're going Edge?))
[22:00] * +Siluvaine looks around to see if the urchin stuck around.
[22:01] <@Edgerrin> ((no i was joking. seeing that much money made him drool. I wouldnt sell my hammer))
[22:01] <@BradGM> ((ah ok.))
[22:01] <+Alexi> "A city dis beeg? Uf cause ve vos followed. Dey prob'ly had somvun tell dem ven ve vent on de trail."
[22:01] <@BradGM> No, the moment he got a whole shilling in tip, he ran off, happier than ever.
[22:02] <+Siluvaine> "The urchin might have known something, shame he left already."
[22:04] <+Ulrich> "so now what?"
[22:05] <+Siluvaine> "Eat, sleep. Do we still want to split up?"
[22:06] <+Aithorn> "You can feel free to go down to the post office looking for more daemons, but it's about time for some rest."
[22:06] <@Edgerrin> "We could try ta track the boy"
[22:07] <+Ulrich> 'pff, doubtful
[22:07] <+Ulrich> "
[22:07] <+Ulrich> "the little bugger is undoubtfully local, and a stret kid, good luck finding him among the other thousands
[22:07] <+Ulrich> "
[22:08] <@BradGM> Still, a kid with a shilling to his name.
[22:08] <+Aithorn> "We have a lot of city to cover before we find what we're looking for. Splitting up would make things go faster."
[22:08] <+Siluvaine> ((probably already dead and being cut up to use in meat pies))
[22:08] <+Ulrich> (very possible)
[22:08] * +Siluvaine points to the letter. "Splitting up would also leave us vulnerable to mor eof that."
[22:08] <+Aithorn> ((a waste of good urchin. he's probably bacon.))
[22:08] <+Ulrich> (or eating as many meat pies he can fit in my little mouth)
[22:09] <@BradGM> ((with the tax revision on meatpies? He better stock up indeed.))
[22:10] <@BradGM> Taking a room now? There are still beds and rooms available.
[22:11] <+Aithorn> ((single room for me, this time))
[22:11] <+Ulrich> (yeah, after all that, I htink i want a nice room and a bath)
[22:11] * +Siluvaine spends for a single with a bath
[22:11] <@BradGM> ((It's 1/2))
[22:12] <+Aithorn> ((already deducted))
[22:12] <+Ulrich> (1/2?)
[22:12] <@BradGM> ((that's 2/ Sil))
[22:12] <+Ulrich> (ok)
[22:12] <@BradGM> ((1 shilling 2 pence))
[22:13] <@BradGM> ((oh sorry Sil, 2/2))
[22:13] <+Ulrich> (oh ok)
[22:13] * @Edgerrin will take a nice room. It's been about a year since his last bath so he feels he's due.
[22:13] <+Ulrich> (single and a bath is 1/2?)
[22:13] <@BradGM> ((yeah, using the way they write it in the book, so it's not fractions))
[22:13] <@BradGM> ((single room and bath is 2/2; bath's a shilling))
[22:14] <@BradGM> ((3/- for you Edge; and it's been 4-5 weeks))
[22:14] <@BradGM> ((you took your ealry bath in Middenheim))
[22:14] <+Ulrich> (so 2 silver, 2 brass? your confusing the hell out of me)
[22:14] <@BradGM> ((yes))
[22:15] <+Ulrich> (ok
[22:15] <@BradGM> ((Alexi? Room or bed?))
[22:16] <+Alexi> (room)
[22:16] <@BradGM> ((1/2 as well))
[22:16] <@Edgerrin> ((we should probably double up in rooms for safety, especially since we've already been attacked))
[22:16] <+Ulrich> (i'll share mine, you dont mind the floor do ya?)
[22:16] <+Siluvaine> ((Siival's taking the best, which is 3, IIRC)
[22:17] <+Aithorn> ((if you hear shouting, that's the signal))
[22:17] <@Edgerrin> ((Edge doesnt mind the floor or stuffed chair))
[22:17] <@BradGM> ((extra 6 pense for doulbe room; Sil, best is 3 with bath ncluded and smelling herbs, so the room smelle nice))
[22:17] <+Ulrich> (then by all means!)
[22:17] <@BradGM> ((that's also doabel then Edge; you can doulbe up in a single room))
[22:17] <+Siluvaine> ((nod. That's the one she's taking))
[22:18] <+Ulrich> (or yo ucan spend the 6 brass and get a bed out of it too)
[22:19] <+Ulrich> (do they have laundry service?)
[22:19] <+Ulrich> (my robes need a good wash)
[22:19] <@Edgerrin> (I'll double a r oom with Ul and get a bath))
[22:20] <+Ulrich> (ok)
[22:20] <@BradGM> ((Ulrich; no, but they can get it cleaned for you for 10 pense))
[22:21] <@BradGM> ((then it'll cost you 2/8 Edge))
[22:21] <+Ulrich> (hmmm)
[22:21] <+Ulrich> (yeah do it, i dont want to be walkign into the sigmar temple looking like a begger)
[22:22] <@BradGM> ((ok))
[22:23] <@BradGM> ((ok; so Edge and Ulrich at the Temple of Sigmar; the others going to see Lord Frederik?))
[22:23] <+Aithorn> ((yup))
[22:26] <+Siluvaine> ((nod))
[22:28] <@BradGM> You sleep the night and nothing happens, apart from a good night's rest with.. [22:28] <@BradGM> !roll 1d10 [22:28] <Diceling> BradGM: 5 [22:29] <@Edgerrin> ((and i smell funny now...oh wait I'm clean)) [22:29] <@BradGM> the smell of rotten meat for those in the non rich rooms.
[22:31] <+Siluvaine> ((heh))
[22:32] <+Ulrich> (lol)
[22:32] <+Ulrich> (after the trip and the sewers, thats not so bad anymore)
[22:32] * +Siluvaine wraps up some of the clean smelling herbs to use during the next day.
[22:32] <@BradGM> Come next morning, you get up and get some breakfast before heading out. Ulrich, your robes ar clean.
[22:33] <@BradGM> ((what, taking complementary items from inns? Where will your insolence ends??))
[22:34] <+Siluvaine> ((heh))
[22:35] <+Siluvaine> "Meet back here at noon?"
[22:35] <+Ulrich> (nice)
[22:35] <+Ulrich> "sure"
[22:37] <@BradGM> !roll 1d10
[22:37] <Diceling> BradGM: 7
[22:37] * +Siluvaine nods and heads for the stables and gets ready to head to the wizard's friend's place.
[22:37] <@BradGM> Outside, the streets are already buzzing with activity, people, sounds of all kind and the smell of smoke and fire.
[22:38] <+Ulrich> "well Edg, lets go see how the Sigmarites in this city fair"
[22:38] <@Edgerrin> "Aye"
[22:39] * +Siluvaine holds the handkerchief up with the herbs up to her nose, blocking the smells
[22:39] <+Ulrich> "I hope they are not the stuffy type"
[22:39] * @Edgerrin slings his hammer over his shoulder and proceeds to follow Ulrich since he assume he knows where hes going
[22:39] <+Ulrich> (we passed it yesterday)
[22:40] <@Edgerrin> ( i was busy looking for a runesmith and didnt notice))
[22:40] * +Siluvaine heads for the back of the college with Aithorn and Alexi.
[22:40] <+Ulrich> (oh)
[22:40] <@BradGM> Siluvaine, to reach Lord Frederick's Walled estate, you must go 234 steps right from the back door of the Celestial College.
[22:40] <@BradGM> Ulrich/Edge, go into #TempleofSigmar [22:42] * +Siluvaine follows the rather specific directions. "Lets not lose count." [22:42] <+Ulrich> "maybe let me do most the talking, I dont know how they are going to react to a Slayer" [22:42] <+Aithorn> ((235 shalt thou not count, neither count thou 233 excepting that thou then proceed to 234. 236 is right out...)) [22:46] * +Aithorn follows Siluvaine counting out the steps. [22:46] <@BradGM> Siluvaine, you count the steps, and soon enough, you're facing a Wall, where a blazon with about 35 partitions is hanging from it above the large double doors.. [22:47] <+Siluvaine> "Huh." [22:47] <+Alexi> "Dot iz...hard to miss, yah." [22:47] * +Siluvaine leans forward and knocks hard. [22:47] <@BradGM> There are 2 Guards there as well. [22:47] <@BradGM> ((sorry.) [22:49] <+Ulrich> (smoke break) [22:49] <+Aithorn> ((so we remembered to take the letter from Klemperer, right?)) [22:49] <+Siluvaine> ((yeah)) [22:50] <@BradGM> ((Sil got it)) [22:51] <+Siluvaine> "WE're here to see Lord Frederick. We hav ea letter of introduction from Dieter Klemperer." [22:53] <@BradGM> Guard "Yes Madam. May I see it please?" [22:53] * +Siluvaine pulls it out and passes it across. [22:53] <@BradGM> Giving the letter he takes it to a servant, who takes it inside the wall. [22:54] <@BradGM> Some minutes later, he returns. [22:54] * +Siluvaine puts the handkerchief back up in front of her face. [22:54] <@BradGM> Guard "Lord Frederick will see you now. Please follow the servant." [22:55] * +Siluvaine nods and dismounts, leading her horse in. [22:56] * +Aithorn follows along, eager to be off the street [22:57] <@BradGM> Inside the walls, the hellish, loud sounds of the City and the smell are cut by ¾. The interior of the walls is covered in plants, trees, flowers, all perfecty maitainted. The glass is cut short and equal all over as well. The buildings and bricked road and clean and straight. [22:58] * +Siluvaine follows along, taking an experimental sniff to see if the air is clearer here. [22:59] <@BradGM> WEll, there is still the after taste of smoke in your nostrils, but it is cleary smelling more like 'nature' (glass, tress, flowers etc etc) than the streets. [23:00] * +Siluvaine puts the handkerchief down for now, continuing along. "Well, so far so good." [23:01] <+Aithorn> "This Frederik knows what makes a comforting home, a good sign." [23:02] <@BradGM> The servant takes you to the door, where a man wearing an elaborate black and white outfit greets you. "Good morning. If you would follow me, to Lord Frederick's study."
[23:02] <@BradGM> Oh-The sound and smell of the outside are totally gone- it smelled slighty perfumed now.
[23:05] * +Aithorn follows along
[23:06] * +Siluvaine tucks away the hankerchief as she follows, looking around, studying the building.
[23:07] <+Aithorn> "What kind of man is Lord Frederick?"
[23:09] <@BradGM> You are taken around the house; it is rather clasically decorated, nothing that seems fashhionable, if only practical. The Study is another thing. While there is a desk there and some bookshelf, there are almsot numerous displays cases showing itesm as diverse as swords, burned torches, empty oil pint, a rolled up rope..Lord Frederick imself is a late 20s/early 30s man dressed in clothing you will never afford and also wearing a large signet ring with a precious stone in it. He is a little round and seems a little palish; noo much time inside and not enough outside.
[23:12] <@BradGM> Frederick "Ah, yes, Dieter's friends, good, good, come in, come in. Lord Frederick, at your service. Please, please, do sit down."
[23:12] <@BradGM> While still a noble, he seems rather, entousiastic.
[23:13] * +Siluvaine nods in greeting. "Siluvaine."
[23:14] * +Siluvaine takes a seat, looking over the various items.
[23:14] <+Aithorn> "Aithorn of Athel Loren, at yours. We hear that you a man who appreciates a good tale of the defeat of Chaos."
[23:16] <@BradGM> ((damn, not wastigng time))
[23:17] <+Aithorn> ((compared with what?))
[23:17] <@BradGM> Fred "Yes, I do find some enjoyment in a good tale of Victory over Darkness."
[23:19] <@BradGM> ((heh..got a poit there.))
[23:20] <+Aithorn> "Perhaps you would like to join us as we write our own here in Altdorf?"
[23:20] * +Siluvaine nods. "Good to hear. Would you be willing to help be part of one?"
[23:25] <@BradGM> He laughs a little nervously, as he sit down "I'm afraid I lack the courage needed for such a venture. Nevertheless, I do not remain idle. My fortune allows me to reward those who battle Chaos. Why, just yesterday I was at the Imperial Fortress, personally giving a medal to a young Watchman, Kurth Buler, who singlehandedly found a mutant renegade in the sewer and killed him before he could commit any evil." [23:26] * +Siluvaine nods. "Your resources could be helpful." [23:29] * +Aithorn nods "We must all do as we can. I see many relics here of other's stories, perhaps you have seen something like it before." [23:30] * +Aithorn briefly describes the brass skull and the story about Xathrodox split into 3 parts [23:31] <@BradGM> Fred "Well, I am all ears my dear Aithorn of Athel Loren." *He gets deep in his chair ,all confortable and puts in attention on you," [23:31] <+Siluvaine> "And how well do you know the churches here? We have letters of introduction, but they have proven themselves...bothersome at times." [23:33] <+Aithorn> Seeing Lord Frederick's interest, Aithorn starts to embellish a bit of the details, especially the beastmen slaying. [23:33] <@BradGM> Fred " [23:34] * +Ulrich (MordentHex@112.67.nq.ymt) Quit (Quit: Want to be different? Try HydraIRC -> http://www.hydrairc.com <-) [23:35] <@BradGM> Fred "I donate the the Temples of Sigmar and Shallya of course. I do have a few more 'hands-on' contacts here and therer as well that may prove mrore useful." [23:35] <@BradGM> Embellish as in lie or just add spectable; like killng 3 instead of 2, they were 10 instead of just 3, etc.. [23:36] <@BradGM> ((and after that answer, let's close it ehre for tonghit)) [23:36] <+Aithorn> ((embellish as in adding details, describing the beastmen slaying, not making up new stuff)) [23:37] <@BradGM> ((ok)) [23:39] <@BradGM> Lord Frederick listens with attention and detail your story Aithorn. He seems to become more and more determined and attentive as you speak of your ordeal and what you faced. [23:39] <@BradGM> *End of Session*
EDGERRIN AND ULIRCH GOES TO THE TEMPLE OF SIGAMR
[22:58] <@BradGM> The Temple of Sigmar is not just a single building but the main temple and a grouping of dependencies; like a City within the City. The main Temple, a large T-shaped building representing a Warhammer, the head facing south. The Main entrance, giving onto the plaza, is flanking by 2 Sigmarite warrirors, and over the door, stands a stone statue of Sigmar himself. The art is rather simple and quite ancient and, you can feel a certain noble saintity emanating from it. [23:00] <Ulrich> "a lot nicer than the other temple, i'll give them that" [23:00] <@BradGM> People and going in and out as the doors are open now. [23:01] * Edgerrin amskes sure his symbol of Sigmar is out [23:04] <Edgerrin> "Where to good priest?" [23:05] <@BradGM> Inside, the smell of smoke and fire is replaced by the sweat of the hundreds of faithful gathered into an enclosed building. The interior makes 20 meters high, with columns, statues of Sigmarite Heroes and Saints, and millions of lid candles giving dim light into the Temple. [23:05] <@BradGM> ((oops)) [23:06] <Ulrich> "maybe we should get right down to business and see who we came to see" [23:07] * Edgerrin nods [23:07] <Edgerrin> "Ill let ye do da talkin' [23:08] <Ulrich> (who did we come here to see?) [23:08] <Ulrich> (i forgot lol) [23:10] <Edgerrin> ((I thought we were just coming here for general info)) [23:10] <Edgerrin> ((i was pretty distracted last week with my kids)) [23:10] <@BradGM> ((you had no name, just a letter of recommendation form Stolz for assitance.)) [23:11] <Ulrich> (ok) [23:11] * Ulrich looks for someone that looks important an not to terribly busy [23:11] <Ulrich> (I got to go in about 15 minutes btw) [23:12] <@BradGM> Roll perception visual [23:13] <Ulrich> !dhroll 54 [23:13] <Diceling> Ulrich: 90 Failure by 3 degrees!

[23:17] * Ulrich shrugs and walks to a guard [23:17] <@BradGM> Edge, roll perception visual as well. [23:18] <Edgerrin> !dhroll 38 [23:18] <Diceling> Edgerrin: 45 Failure by 0 degrees! [23:19] <Edgerrin> I'll fate it [23:19] <Edgerrin> !dhroll 38 [23:19] <Diceling> Edgerrin: 53 Failure by 1 degree! [23:19] <Edgerrin> bah [23:22] <@BradGM> Ulrich as you got for a guard, Someone walks besides you and grabs you by the arm "What are you doing in this?!" looking you see it is Mathias Hoffer, Ordo Fidelis Witch Hunter. He is wearing simple Priests' robes. his face si still swollen a bit but getting better. [23:22] * Ulrich is a bit taken back by his sudden apearance [23:22] <Ulrich> "looking for help, obviously" [23:23] * Edgerrin is taken aback by the rudness of someone we baile out of jail and a certain death. [23:23] <Ulrich> "or do you mean my robes?" [23:25] <@BradGM> Hoffer "Your robes. I know you are not a Sigmarite Initiate." [23:27] <Ulrich> "actually, yeah i am, but you and your buddies didn't stick around long enough to see it" [23:27] <Ulrich> "anyways, we need help talking to someone to assist in our mission, maybe you would know who?" [23:28] <@BradGM> He let go of your arm, his tone changes as well "I see."
[23:28] * Ulrich shows him the letter of recomendation
[23:29] <Ulrich> "unfinished business from before, or should i say, more nasty business related to previous events which i do not think should be talked about in public"
[23:29] <@BradGM> Hoffer takes it and reads it. "Yes. We can discuss this in my chamber. Follw me." [23:30] * Edgerrin follows [23:30] * Ulrich winks at Edg [23:30] * Edgerrin rolls his eyes [23:31] <@BradGM> ((and let's stop it ehre for tonight)) [23:31] <Ulrich> yeah [23:31] <Ulrich> I got to go [23:31] <@BradGM> *End of Session***
[20:22] <@BradGM> While Middenheim was over-populated by refugees, Altdorf is literally drowning in people; the streets are packed with folks from all over the Empire, and even the Old World, trying to elbow themselves around the City. The streets themselves are almost covered by the jetting houses, and the stench...it appears that every district has its own particular, and rarely appealing, smell.
[20:22] <@BradGM> After putting their foot down at the Smoking Table tavern, the Party discovered two other particularities of the Capital. Riots for whatever reasons seems common, and the presence of the Colleges of Magic seems to have altered one’s natural sense of orientation. Making their way to the Celestial College, a building oblivious to all but those touched by magic, they gained an interview with the never surprised Master Klemperer.
[20:22] <@BradGM> Gaining his assistance in searching for the Dagger of Yul K’chaum, he did explained his socialising days were over, but one of his last friends, a certain Lord Frederik, may be able to help the Party navigate the social battlefield that is Altdorf society, and taking notice to Aithorn and Edgerrin’s lack of social graces.
[20:22] <@BradGM> . Taking their leave as the evening is beginning, it was decided to take a room at an inn for tonight rather than arrive at such hour at an unknown man’s walled estate.
[20:23] <@BradGM> You are near the back door of the Celestial College, the streets are stilled filled with people rahter well to-do, being on the good side of the Reik.
[20:23] * +Siluvaine asks the stableboy where to find a good place to stay.
[20:23] <+Ulrich> "what just happened? I blacked out..."
[20:23] <+Ulrich> (hehehe)
[20:25] <@BradGM> Stable boy "Well, there's the Imperial Inn in the Plaza. Good ale, and the food's is actually eatable!"
[20:26] <+Ulrich> "FOOD! yes!"
[20:26] <+Siluvaine> "Well, we might have some help other than the church." She glances at the stableboy. "How expensive?"
[20:26] * +Aithorn reaffixes his hood over his mouth and nose as he prepares to go back out in the stench.
[20:26] <+Ulrich> "he is a stable boy, probably doesn't even leave the horses dear, how would he know?"
[20:27] <+Siluvaine> "Because people probably ask him this every day?"
[20:27] <@BradGM> The Stable boy makes a face "Meh..well, if you don't take the Omelette of magic, it's..ok."
[20:28] * +Ulrich snorts
[20:29] <+Ulrich> "magic omelette"
[20:30] <@BradGM> Stable boy "yeah, got 8 kinds of eggs in it."
[20:30] <@BradGM> ((as they are 8 Colleges of Magic..))
[20:30] <+Ulrich> "disgusting, 1 type is enough"
[20:31] <+Ulrich> "ok, so anything non egg to eat?"
[20:31] <+Aithorn> "I guess that's why they're called the 8 winds..."
[20:31] * +Ulrich laughs
[20:31] <+Ulrich> "good one"
[20:32] <+Ulrich> "good to see one elf has a sense or humor among us"
[20:33] <@BradGM> Stable Boy "yeah..usual stuff really, the Omelette of Magic's the house specialty."
[20:33] <+Ulrich> "lets get some food and be about our business, this city tries my patience, and my nose"
[20:35] * +Siluvaine nods. "Which way?"
[20:35] <@BradGM> The Stable boy points toward the front fo the college, near the plaza where the Imperial Palace and the Temple of sigmar are located
[20:36] * +Siluvaine nods and tosses him a penny. "Thanks."
[20:37] * +Ulrich looks at that penny, then the others...
[20:37] * +Aithorn raises an eyebrow and shrugs
[20:37] <+Ulrich> "is she feeling ok?"
[20:38] <+Ulrich> "did you get hit by one of those arrows Sil?"
[20:38] <+Ulrich> "are you bleeding somewhere?"
[20:38] <@Edgerrin> "we think she got sick when she entered dem gates."
[20:38] <@Edgerrin> "Been 'aving bouts of generosity"
[20:38] <@BradGM> !dhroll 100
[20:38] <Diceling> BradGM: 12 Success by 8 degrees!
[20:38] * +Ulrich is shocked but keeps moving
[20:38] <@BradGM> ((nice!))
[20:38] <@BradGM> !roll 1d10
[20:38] <Diceling> BradGM: 5
[20:39] <+Aithorn> ((halfling swarm?))
[20:39] * +Ulrich cripple fights?"
[20:39] <+Ulrich> (opps)
[20:40] * +Aithorn keeps moving toward the inn the stableboy spoke of
[20:40] <+Siluvaine> ((brb, need to figure out where these ants are coming from))
[20:40] <+Ulrich> (that was very random)
[20:40] <@BradGM> As yuou arrive at the Plaza, you see a gathering of people, protesting and yelling about a Sewer Tax "This tax Stinks!!" "I got to throw my salary into the shitter? I'd rather die!"
[20:41] <@BradGM> Fortunately, heavy Watch presence seems to calm everyone's violent tendencies for the time being.
[20:41] * +Ulrich "very possible if the sewage stops working"
[20:42] <@BradGM> You can mae your way across and see the Imperial Inn, a mederately sized 4 stories building that seems well aged, but still strong.
[20:43] <@BradGM> They also offer stable service.
[20:44] <@BradGM> ((2 shillings for the horse))
[20:44] * +Aithorn goes inside and checks out the common room for some dinner
[20:44] * @Edgerrin follows
[20:45] * +Ulrich does too
[20:46] * +Siluvaine stables the horse and heads inside, not really wanting to know what hte cost might be.
[20:46] <@BradGM> Inside, the place is filled; half the patron stop their chat and look up to you as you enter, Altdorfers by their clothing, the other half doens't care at all. The decor is something else; filled with numerous painting of the elector-counts, decorative weapons, odd (magical?) symbols and strange esoteric objects, it is rather elaborate and adds a level to the place; yu'd almost forget the sticky floors...
[20:47] * @Edgerrin finds a table
[20:47] <@BradGM> Ale's 2 pence each, beer's 3; meals are 6 pences each, and actually smell and taste decent. The omelette of Magic is a Crown, but it is a loaded omelette
[20:48] <@BradGM> !dhroll 50
[20:48] <Diceling> BradGM: 10 Success by 4 degrees!
[20:48] * +Siluvaine is definitely staying away from the omelette, though she does study the odd symbols.
[20:48] <@BradGM> Edgerrin, you can find a couple of tables free, on'es even a bit off in the corner, or at least more isolated than the others.
[20:49] * @Edgerrin heads to the one in the corner
[20:49] <@BradGM> Siluvaine, you recognise the symbols being the different symbols of the different winds of Magic.
[20:49] * +Ulrich will take a meal, and a beer
[20:49] * @Edgerrin will sit in a chair or on a bench and order a meal and a pitcher of beer
[20:50] * +Alexi will do likewise
[20:50] <@BradGM> You all sit down near a painting of Elector-Count Marius Leitdorf of Averland, duellist, inventor, statesman- and known also as the Mad Count of Averland because he's totally off his bonkers..
[20:50] * +Aithorn follows Edgerrin to the table and gets a meal/drinks
[20:51] <@BradGM> ((just slide off the money))
[20:51] * +Siluvaine settles in and gets a meal, glancing around. "Well. Better than we're used to."
[20:51] <@Edgerrin> ((how much is a pitcher?))
[20:52] <@BradGM> As for the rooms, the common room beds are 2 pences a night, single rooms are 1/2p, doulbes are 1/8p. The best rooms are 3/, but comes with bath and smelling herbs to help litigate the city smell. it is also on the top floor or you may even get wind.
[20:52] <@BradGM> ((10 pence, good for 6 pints))
[20:53] <@BradGM> ((oh sorry, that's for ale; beer is 15p, same quantity))
[20:54] * +Ulrich "this place is rather cheap compared to other places we have stayed"
[20:54] <+Siluvaine> "So do we all go to the wizard's friend, or do some of us try the church at the same time?"
[20:54] <@BradGM> You get your meal and drinks. Looking about, the non-locals seems to be more pilgrims, merchants, officials and human outsiders (non-Imperials).
[20:55] <@Edgerrin> 6when the food arrives Edge will pay his bill and tip the barmaid a pence
[20:56] <@BradGM> Averland potatoes, Nordland Trout and mixed with Talabec game and Wissenland vegetables; according to the barmiad, youR'e eating hafl the empire in your bowl of stew
[20:57] <@BradGM> the Barmaid takes the tip "Aw, thanks luv'."
[20:57] * +Ulrich "I could try the church"
[20:58] * @Edgerrin waves his hand at the group and says to the barmaid 1"We be a mix of stew from all o'er too."
[20:58] * +Ulrich chokes on his beer
[20:58] <+Aithorn> "We might want to split up, we can cover more ground that way, but how to decide who goes where?"
[20:59] <@BradGM> Barmiad "Aye, strange lot I'd say, must be some caravan guard huh?"
[20:59] <+Ulrich> "i'll bring Edg with me, Sigmarites deal better with dwarves than magic users"
[21:00] * +Siluvaine nods.
[21:00] <+Ulrich> "alexi should go with you two though, just to have a "human" with you just incase some trouble starts"
[21:00] <@BradGM> !roll 1d5 1a 2ai 3u 4 e 5 s
[21:00] <Diceling> BradGM, 1a 2ai 3u 4 e 5 s: 3
[21:01] <@BradGM> ((keep going, that's for latR))
[21:02] <+Siluvaine> "Well, hopefully the letter will help, but this city is strange enough."
[21:02] <@Edgerrin> "I'd like ta see if I can find a runesmith that was recomended ta me to fix the hammer I found."
[21:02] <+Ulrich> "exactly, and i would be happy to be out of it and its masma as soon as possible"
[21:03] <+Ulrich> "ok, that we can do to my dear dwarf"
[21:04] <@BradGM> You eat and char and plan ahead...Ulrich someone taps your arm; As you turn you see an unchin, with dirty, but practical clothing, maybe aged around 11 or 12. He taps his cap slightly to you before giving you a sealed enveloppe.
[21:04] <+Ulrich> "sigmar temple may actually know where to find him"
[21:04] <@BradGM> ((and chat, dammit!))
[21:04] <@BradGM> ((no char..damn))
[21:05] <+Ulrich> "whats this?"
[21:05] <@BradGM> Boy "A letter sir."
[21:05] <+Ulrich> "i can see that! from?"
[21:05] <@BradGM> He shurgs "I just deliver sir, I dunno."
[21:06] <+Ulrich> "ok. here"
[21:06] <@Edgerrin> "Give the lad a coin fer his troubles man."
[21:06] * +Ulrich rummages in his pocket and gives the boy a shilling
[21:07] <+Ulrich> "get your clothes washed lad"
[21:07] <@BradGM> The boy's eyes widen "Gee, thanks mister!" *He runs off, quite happy about such a tip!*
[21:07] <+Ulrich> "and some food too"
[21:07] <+Ulrich> "i bet he goes to buy candy with it...."
[21:07] <+Siluvaine> "You give him money and tell him to get his clothes washed?"
[21:08] <@BradGM> The envelopped is acually a piece of paper, folden onto itself and waxed sealed; it seems someone used a Crown to seal it off, but it slipped as the engraving is messed up.
[21:08] <+Ulrich> "you ride a horse but bitch about the taxes?"
[21:09] * +Ulrich opens the letter
[21:09] <+Ulrich> "anyone else want to read it?"
[21:09] <+Ulrich> "just in case its poisoned or something"
[21:09] * +Ulrich grins
[21:10] * +Siluvaine wonders if Ulrich can actually read it...
[21:10] <+Ulrich> "no? ok then"
[21:10] * +Ulrich reads the letter
[21:11] <@BradGM> You open the letter...and suddenly a deamon jumps out of the letter and onto the table! It is 4 feet tall, but his legs are a mass of half foot long tentacles. His 3 eyes burns of a yellowish tint, and his muscular armes ends of long obsidian-like nails.
[21:11] <@BradGM> Everyone roll WP versus Fear!
[21:11] <+Ulrich> (are you fucking kidding me?)

[21:14] <@BradGM> Inside the inn, two things happen; half the patrons run off, screaming in terror, outside of the Inn. The other half take their drinks and chiar, kick the table sideways and sit behind its cover.
[21:14] <+Aithorn> ((what in the wide wide world of sports is a kenny-daemon?))

[21:28] <@BradGM> Alexi!..usually, you'd have to roll WP to snap out of it, but since oyu rolled a 42..let's say half action to clear your troat, then you can attack once.

[21:31] <@BradGM> End of combat.
[21:32] <+Ulrich> "SIGMARS BALLS!"
[21:32] * @Edgerrin sits back down and continues to drinnk his beer as if nothing happened
[21:32] <+Aithorn> ((I managed to hit the daemon and not Alexi this time. WIN WIN Situation!))
[21:32] * +Alexi frowns and wedges his axe clear
[21:33] <@BradGM> Slowly, the people, Altdorfers all, who were hiding being the furniture and decor slowly puts the table back on thier feet and sit down, resuming thier conversion like it was normal.
[21:33] * +Aithorn sits back down and resets his place setting
[21:33] <@BradGM> You do spot a few white knuckles 'round some tankards thought..
[21:34] * +Ulrich notes these people rather relaxed attitude towards demons poping out of thin air
[21:34] * +Siluvaine glances around and lowers her quarterstaff, though she keeps a grip on it. "What was that?"
[21:34] <@BradGM> The owner, a Tall man wearing a ponytail, comes to see you all "Hey, everything's all right folks? Wasn't that soemthing!"
[21:35] <@BradGM> He signals to a couple fo servants who move around the table and lift it up over your heard and take it away.*
[21:36] * +Ulrich search's fo the letter containing the demon
[21:36] <@BradGM> Owner "Lemme change that table for 'ya...Say, fancy weapons you three used; I'd be intresting in buying them from."
[21:36] * +Aithorn "Is it considered rude to finish a drink in Altdorf?"
[21:36] <+Alexi> "Dot is a goot table."
[21:36] <+Ulrich> (lol)
[21:36] <@BradGM> Oh yeas, the servant made sure you had your fod and letter with yo before taking the table away.
[21:37] <+Ulrich> "ah, does this sort of thing happen regularly here?"
[21:37] <+Ulrich> "you dont seem to put off by it"
[21:38] <@BradGM> Ulrich, looking at the letter, you only see a ingle thing inside of it. A small, crude drawing of a human skull in a dried up drowish substance your recognise as blood. The symbol you recognise as well. That of the Crimson Skull, the Cult High Priest Liebnitz was a mamber of, and which cult base was hidden under the Sword and Flail in Middenheim.
[21:39] <+Ulrich> "Sigmar damn them, they are persistant"
[21:39] * +Aithorn pats his sword, "This one is a family heirloom, it is not for sale. Sorry."
[21:39] <+Ulrich> "our little corrupt wolf friends it seems"
[21:39] <+Ulrich> "just got mine, sorry, also not for sale"
[21:40] <@BradGM> Owner "Hey, it's Altdorf! One week doesn't go by without me seeing some fireball or ligghtning bolt flying all over the place! So what's a lil' deamon huh? Besides, looks like your weapons did the trick..so how how 20 Crowns a piece? 30 for that Axe, sir."
[21:40] <@BradGM> The offer is for Aithron, Alexi and Siluvaine only.
[21:40] <+Ulrich> (ok, my axe is safe then :D )
[21:40] <+Alexi> "Dis axe vos handed to me by my vater, und it vos handed to him by his vater. Hy vill hand it to my fust-born, und dot person only."
[21:41] <@BradGM> Owner "Aww..would 50 Karls change anyone's mind?"
[21:41] <@BradGM> ((specifically, Aithorn's and Alexi's))
[21:42] <+Siluvaine> "Why...are yo uso interested?"
[21:43] <@BradGM> Owner "Why, our own lil' piece of what makes Altdorf so great right here in my humble Inn, I'll have to put them on the wall somewhere to celebrte this event."
[21:46] <+Aithorn> "Still not for sale, sorry. But he would be sad if there were only cobwebs and walls in its future, I hope you understand."
[21:47] * +Siluvaine considers (So they're only willing to pay 20 for Siluvaine's?))
[21:48] <@BradGM> ((yes))

[21:49] <@BradGM> ((yeah, plus; you're a wizard!..sorta))
[21:49] * +Siluvaine shrugs. "I'm sure 30 for an elven wizard's staff would be agreeable."
[21:49] <+Ulrich> (lol)
[21:50] <+Aithorn> ((carved with elven runes (that actually say "Made in Taiwan") but tell him they say "I kill daemons"))
[21:50] <@BradGM> roll charm

[21:51] <Diceling> Siluvaine: 37 Success by 0 degrees!
[21:52] <@BradGM> He rubs his chin for a moment "Hmm..Wizard you say..yes, that would be a agreeable!"
[21:52] <@BradGM> ((Sigmarite, so +10 due to the mark!))
[21:53] <@BradGM> He pays you 30 Crowns for your Quarterstaff Siluvaine.
[21:54] * +Siluvaine nods and hands over the quarterstaff, pocketing the money with a bit of satisfaction.
[21:54] * @Edgerrin looks on in amazement
[21:55] <@BradGM> ((And somewhere, in Marineburg, a Merchant gets his wings))
[21:55] <@Edgerrin> ((30 c for somthing that cost what 3 s?)
[21:55] <@BradGM> ((yup))
[21:55] <@BradGM> ((even 50 crown for a sword that costed 10..))
[21:55] * @Edgerrin goe to find something to kill so he can sell his weapons for 10x the value.
[21:56] <@BradGM> ((you had it in front of you!))
[21:56] <@Edgerrin> ((I was too busy drinking my beer))
[21:56] * +Siluvaine settles back at the new table, her purse much heavier.
[21:56] <@BradGM> ((WEll, you made your choice I suppose...I guess you got to walk the slayer path to atone for this..oh wait))
[21:57] <@BradGM> The owner also pays for a pticher of finer beer, compliments of the house for the troubles.
[21:57] <+Siluvaine> "So. Didn't take long for them to find out we're in town."
[21:58] <@BradGM> Edgerrin, you'll also have to kill somehting in the Inn to maybe get to sell it to the owner.
[22:00] <+Aithorn> "I would like to know how they traced us here, unless we were followed we didn't announce ourselves too much."
[22:00] <@BradGM> ((Still, you're going Edge?))
[22:00] * +Siluvaine looks around to see if the urchin stuck around.
[22:01] <@Edgerrin> ((no i was joking. seeing that much money made him drool. I wouldnt sell my hammer))
[22:01] <@BradGM> ((ah ok.))
[22:01] <+Alexi> "A city dis beeg? Uf cause ve vos followed. Dey prob'ly had somvun tell dem ven ve vent on de trail."
[22:01] <@BradGM> No, the moment he got a whole shilling in tip, he ran off, happier than ever.
[22:02] <+Siluvaine> "The urchin might have known something, shame he left already."
[22:04] <+Ulrich> "so now what?"
[22:05] <+Siluvaine> "Eat, sleep. Do we still want to split up?"
[22:06] <+Aithorn> "You can feel free to go down to the post office looking for more daemons, but it's about time for some rest."
[22:06] <@Edgerrin> "We could try ta track the boy"
[22:07] <+Ulrich> 'pff, doubtful
[22:07] <+Ulrich> "
[22:07] <+Ulrich> "the little bugger is undoubtfully local, and a stret kid, good luck finding him among the other thousands
[22:07] <+Ulrich> "
[22:08] <@BradGM> Still, a kid with a shilling to his name.
[22:08] <+Aithorn> "We have a lot of city to cover before we find what we're looking for. Splitting up would make things go faster."
[22:08] <+Siluvaine> ((probably already dead and being cut up to use in meat pies))
[22:08] <+Ulrich> (very possible)
[22:08] * +Siluvaine points to the letter. "Splitting up would also leave us vulnerable to mor eof that."
[22:08] <+Aithorn> ((a waste of good urchin. he's probably bacon.))
[22:08] <+Ulrich> (or eating as many meat pies he can fit in my little mouth)
[22:09] <@BradGM> ((with the tax revision on meatpies? He better stock up indeed.))
[22:10] <@BradGM> Taking a room now? There are still beds and rooms available.
[22:11] <+Aithorn> ((single room for me, this time))
[22:11] <+Ulrich> (yeah, after all that, I htink i want a nice room and a bath)
[22:11] * +Siluvaine spends for a single with a bath
[22:11] <@BradGM> ((It's 1/2))
[22:12] <+Aithorn> ((already deducted))
[22:12] <+Ulrich> (1/2?)
[22:12] <@BradGM> ((that's 2/ Sil))
[22:12] <+Ulrich> (ok)
[22:12] <@BradGM> ((1 shilling 2 pence))
[22:13] <@BradGM> ((oh sorry Sil, 2/2))
[22:13] <+Ulrich> (oh ok)
[22:13] * @Edgerrin will take a nice room. It's been about a year since his last bath so he feels he's due.
[22:13] <+Ulrich> (single and a bath is 1/2?)
[22:13] <@BradGM> ((yeah, using the way they write it in the book, so it's not fractions))
[22:13] <@BradGM> ((single room and bath is 2/2; bath's a shilling))
[22:14] <@BradGM> ((3/- for you Edge; and it's been 4-5 weeks))
[22:14] <@BradGM> ((you took your ealry bath in Middenheim))
[22:14] <+Ulrich> (so 2 silver, 2 brass? your confusing the hell out of me)
[22:14] <@BradGM> ((yes))
[22:15] <+Ulrich> (ok
[22:15] <@BradGM> ((Alexi? Room or bed?))
[22:16] <+Alexi> (room)
[22:16] <@BradGM> ((1/2 as well))

[22:23] <+Aithorn> ((yup))
[22:26] <+Siluvaine> ((nod))
[22:28] <@BradGM> You sleep the night and nothing happens, apart from a good night's rest with..
[22:28] <@BradGM> !roll 1d10
[22:28] <Diceling> BradGM: 5
[22:29] <@Edgerrin> ((and i smell funny now...oh wait I'm clean))
[22:29] <@BradGM> the smell of rotten meat for those in the non rich rooms.
[22:31] <+Siluvaine> ((heh))
[22:32] <+Ulrich> (lol)
[22:32] <+Ulrich> (after the trip and the sewers, thats not so bad anymore)
[22:32] * +Siluvaine wraps up some of the clean smelling herbs to use during the next day.
[22:32] <@BradGM> Come next morning, you get up and get some breakfast before heading out. Ulrich, your robes ar clean.
[22:33] <@BradGM> ((what, taking complementary items from inns? Where will your insolence ends??))
[22:34] <+Siluvaine> ((heh))
[22:35] <+Siluvaine> "Meet back here at noon?"
[22:35] <+Ulrich> (nice)
[22:35] <+Ulrich> "sure"
[22:37] <@BradGM> !roll 1d10
[22:37] <Diceling> BradGM: 7
[22:37] * +Siluvaine nods and heads for the stables and gets ready to head to the wizard's friend's place.
[22:37] <@BradGM> Outside, the streets are already buzzing with activity, people, sounds of all kind and the smell of smoke and fire.
[22:38] <+Ulrich> "well Edg, lets go see how the Sigmarites in this city fair"
[22:38] <@Edgerrin> "Aye"
[22:39] * +Siluvaine holds the handkerchief up with the herbs up to her nose, blocking the smells
[22:39] <+Ulrich> "I hope they are not the stuffy type"
[22:39] * @Edgerrin slings his hammer over his shoulder and proceeds to follow Ulrich since he assume he knows where hes going
[22:39] <+Ulrich> (we passed it yesterday)
[22:40] <@Edgerrin> ( i was busy looking for a runesmith and didnt notice))
[22:40] * +Siluvaine heads for the back of the college with Aithorn and Alexi.
[22:40] <+Ulrich> (oh)
[22:40] <@BradGM> Siluvaine, to reach Lord Frederick's Walled estate, you must go 234 steps right from the back door of the Celestial College.
[22:40] <@BradGM> Ulrich/Edge, go into #TempleofSigmar
[22:42] * +Siluvaine follows the rather specific directions. "Lets not lose count."
[22:42] <+Ulrich> "maybe let me do most the talking, I dont know how they are going to react to a Slayer"
[22:42] <+Aithorn> ((235 shalt thou not count, neither count thou 233 excepting that thou then proceed to 234. 236 is right out...))
[22:46] * +Aithorn follows Siluvaine counting out the steps.
[22:46] <@BradGM> Siluvaine, you count the steps, and soon enough, you're facing a Wall, where a blazon with about 35 partitions is hanging from it above the large double doors..
[22:47] <+Siluvaine> "Huh."
[22:47] <+Alexi> "Dot iz...hard to miss, yah."
[22:47] * +Siluvaine leans forward and knocks hard.
[22:47] <@BradGM> There are 2 Guards there as well.
[22:47] <@BradGM> ((sorry.)
[22:49] <+Ulrich> (smoke break)
[22:49] <+Aithorn> ((so we remembered to take the letter from Klemperer, right?))
[22:49] <+Siluvaine> ((yeah))
[22:50] <@BradGM> ((Sil got it))
[22:51] <+Siluvaine> "WE're here to see Lord Frederick. We hav ea letter of introduction from Dieter Klemperer."
[22:53] <@BradGM> Guard "Yes Madam. May I see it please?"
[22:53] * +Siluvaine pulls it out and passes it across.
[22:53] <@BradGM> Giving the letter he takes it to a servant, who takes it inside the wall.
[22:54] <@BradGM> Some minutes later, he returns.
[22:54] * +Siluvaine puts the handkerchief back up in front of her face.
[22:54] <@BradGM> Guard "Lord Frederick will see you now. Please follow the servant."
[22:55] * +Siluvaine nods and dismounts, leading her horse in.
[22:56] * +Aithorn follows along, eager to be off the street
[22:57] <@BradGM> Inside the walls, the hellish, loud sounds of the City and the smell are cut by ¾. The interior of the walls is covered in plants, trees, flowers, all perfecty maitainted. The glass is cut short and equal all over as well. The buildings and bricked road and clean and straight.
[22:58] * +Siluvaine follows along, taking an experimental sniff to see if the air is clearer here.
[22:59] <@BradGM> WEll, there is still the after taste of smoke in your nostrils, but it is cleary smelling more like 'nature' (glass, tress, flowers etc etc) than the streets.
[23:00] * +Siluvaine puts the handkerchief down for now, continuing along. "Well, so far so good."
[23:01] <+Aithorn> "This Frederik knows what makes a comforting home, a good sign."
[23:02] <@BradGM> The servant takes you to the door, where a man wearing an elaborate black and white outfit greets you. "Good morning. If you would follow me, to Lord Frederick's study."
[23:02] <@BradGM> Oh-The sound and smell of the outside are totally gone- it smelled slighty perfumed now.
[23:05] * +Aithorn follows along
[23:06] * +Siluvaine tucks away the hankerchief as she follows, looking around, studying the building.
[23:07] <+Aithorn> "What kind of man is Lord Frederick?"
[23:09] <@BradGM> You are taken around the house; it is rather clasically decorated, nothing that seems fashhionable, if only practical. The Study is another thing. While there is a desk there and some bookshelf, there are almsot numerous displays cases showing itesm as diverse as swords, burned torches, empty oil pint, a rolled up rope..Lord Frederick imself is a late 20s/early 30s man dressed in clothing you will never afford and also wearing a large signet ring with a precious stone in it. He is a little round and seems a little palish; noo much time inside and not enough outside.
[23:12] <@BradGM> Frederick "Ah, yes, Dieter's friends, good, good, come in, come in. Lord Frederick, at your service. Please, please, do sit down."
[23:12] <@BradGM> While still a noble, he seems rather, entousiastic.
[23:13] * +Siluvaine nods in greeting. "Siluvaine."
[23:14] * +Siluvaine takes a seat, looking over the various items.
[23:14] <+Aithorn> "Aithorn of Athel Loren, at yours. We hear that you a man who appreciates a good tale of the defeat of Chaos."
[23:16] <@BradGM> ((damn, not wastigng time))
[23:17] <+Aithorn> ((compared with what?))
[23:17] <@BradGM> Fred "Yes, I do find some enjoyment in a good tale of Victory over Darkness."
[23:19] <@BradGM> ((heh..got a poit there.))
[23:20] <+Aithorn> "Perhaps you would like to join us as we write our own here in Altdorf?"
[23:20] * +Siluvaine nods. "Good to hear. Would you be willing to help be part of one?"
[23:25] <@BradGM> He laughs a little nervously, as he sit down "I'm afraid I lack the courage needed for such a venture. Nevertheless, I do not remain idle. My fortune allows me to reward those who battle Chaos. Why, just yesterday I was at the Imperial Fortress, personally giving a medal to a young Watchman, Kurth Buler, who singlehandedly found a mutant renegade in the sewer and killed him before he could commit any evil."
[23:26] * +Siluvaine nods. "Your resources could be helpful."
[23:29] * +Aithorn nods "We must all do as we can. I see many relics here of other's stories, perhaps you have seen something like it before."
[23:30] * +Aithorn briefly describes the brass skull and the story about Xathrodox split into 3 parts
[23:31] <@BradGM> Fred "Well, I am all ears my dear Aithorn of Athel Loren." *He gets deep in his chair ,all confortable and puts in attention on you,"
[23:31] <+Siluvaine> "And how well do you know the churches here? We have letters of introduction, but they have proven themselves...bothersome at times."
[23:33] <+Aithorn> Seeing Lord Frederick's interest, Aithorn starts to embellish a bit of the details, especially the beastmen slaying.
[23:33] <@BradGM> Fred "
[23:34] * +Ulrich (MordentHex@112.67.nq.ymt) Quit (Quit: Want to be different? Try HydraIRC -> http://www.hydrairc.com <-)
[23:35] <@BradGM> Fred "I donate the the Temples of Sigmar and Shallya of course. I do have a few more 'hands-on' contacts here and therer as well that may prove mrore useful."
[23:35] <@BradGM> Embellish as in lie or just add spectable; like killng 3 instead of 2, they were 10 instead of just 3, etc..
[23:36] <@BradGM> ((and after that answer, let's close it ehre for tonghit))
[23:36] <+Aithorn> ((embellish as in adding details, describing the beastmen slaying, not making up new stuff))
[23:37] <@BradGM> ((ok))
[23:39] <@BradGM> Lord Frederick listens with attention and detail your story Aithorn. He seems to become more and more determined and attentive as you speak of your ordeal and what you faced.
[23:39] <@BradGM> *End of Session*
EDGERRIN AND ULIRCH GOES TO THE TEMPLE OF SIGAMR
[22:58] <@BradGM> The Temple of Sigmar is not just a single building but the main temple and a grouping of dependencies; like a City within the City. The main Temple, a large T-shaped building representing a Warhammer, the head facing south. The Main entrance, giving onto the plaza, is flanking by 2 Sigmarite warrirors, and over the door, stands a stone statue of Sigmar himself. The art is rather simple and quite ancient and, you can feel a certain noble saintity emanating from it.
[23:00] <Ulrich> "a lot nicer than the other temple, i'll give them that"
[23:00] <@BradGM> People and going in and out as the doors are open now.
[23:01] * Edgerrin amskes sure his symbol of Sigmar is out
[23:04] <Edgerrin> "Where to good priest?"
[23:05] <@BradGM> Inside, the smell of smoke and fire is replaced by the sweat of the hundreds of faithful gathered into an enclosed building. The interior makes 20 meters high, with columns, statues of Sigmarite Heroes and Saints, and millions of lid candles giving dim light into the Temple.
[23:05] <@BradGM> ((oops))
[23:06] <Ulrich> "maybe we should get right down to business and see who we came to see"
[23:07] * Edgerrin nods

[23:19] <Edgerrin> bah
[23:22] <@BradGM> Ulrich as you got for a guard, Someone walks besides you and grabs you by the arm "What are you doing in this?!" looking you see it is Mathias Hoffer, Ordo Fidelis Witch Hunter. He is wearing simple Priests' robes. his face si still swollen a bit but getting better.
[23:22] * Ulrich is a bit taken back by his sudden apearance
[23:22] <Ulrich> "looking for help, obviously"
[23:23] * Edgerrin is taken aback by the rudness of someone we baile out of jail and a certain death.
[23:23] <Ulrich> "or do you mean my robes?"
[23:25] <@BradGM> Hoffer "Your robes. I know you are not a Sigmarite Initiate."
[23:27] <Ulrich> "actually, yeah i am, but you and your buddies didn't stick around long enough to see it"
[23:27] <Ulrich> "anyways, we need help talking to someone to assist in our mission, maybe you would know who?"
[23:28] <@BradGM> He let go of your arm, his tone changes as well "I see."
[23:28] * Ulrich shows him the letter of recomendation
[23:29] <Ulrich> "unfinished business from before, or should i say, more nasty business related to previous events which i do not think should be talked about in public"
[23:29] <@BradGM> Hoffer takes it and reads it. "Yes. We can discuss this in my chamber. Follw me."
[23:30] * Edgerrin follows
[23:30] * Ulrich winks at Edg
[23:30] * Edgerrin rolls his eyes
