[20:15] <@BradGM> +++ After a rather uneventful wait, Victrix called back and booked passage for Mockingbird toward Sisk aboard a transport ship. The monotone, month-long journey was as uneventful, as warp voyages can be, brought them to the Arnhut Spaceport a distance from the shore, a wide view of the Feudal city, shadowed by the Emperor’s Temple.
[20:15] <@BradGM> As Mira managed to secure passage across, Grendel spotted a boat with the markings of Darius, the inquisitional contact Jex was working on-location. With the possibility of Darius being on-board, Mira let her ship leave, but the only thing worth finding was information
[20:15] <@BradGM> Darius operates from his warehouse in Arnhut, where he bolstered security 6 months ago. Mira left to get passage across, but with Elana’s presence, secure free passage to the port city. +++

[20:16] * +Mira_Atella looks around as they exit the boat and step on the docks. "We should get our bearings, figure out where things in this city are."
[20:17] <@BradGM> You can now hear well the local low gothic accent of the populace.
[20:18] <+Mira_Atella> (( yay, I have that skill ))
[20:18] * +Grendel` glances around for a map or information, once again annoyed at the fact that we're on a primitive planet. "Agreed. And a place to stay."
[20:18] * +Mira_Atella looks to Grendel, "Do you want to try and find a port to get info from, or should we do it the old fashion way?"
[20:19] * +Grendel` looks around for the possibility of it.
[20:20] <+Grendel`> "I am not sure yet."
[20:21] * +Mira_Atella nods, "Let's get off the docks, might have a better view."
[20:21] <@BradGM> Grendle, being a Feudal world there is no local map for all to utilize.

[20:30] * +Mira_Atella rolls her eyes at the ones falling to their knees for some religious hooey, but takes the opportunity to whisper to Elana, "Might be able to find out where the warehouse we are looking for is exactly.

[22:41] <@BradGM> Elon "Follow us...heathen!"
[22:41] * +Lazerus_Grim nods once with a sigh, and follows Elon.
[22:41] <+Elana> ((:D))
[22:43] <@BradGM> You are taken to the basement, then down agian to the cellar, then down to the dungeon, and into a moist, dark warden cell; you can feel your contact with the wrp being cut sharp.
[22:44] * +Elana nods as the cleric seems to do as requested and the group started moving. 1"You have my gratitude. Rest assured that this ... disturbance is in accordance with our duty to the Throne."
[22:46] <+Grendel`> ((Bcak, soryr))
[22:46] <@BradGM> Elon "Oh yes sister, but We hope that you will keep him on a tight leash."
[22:46] * +Mira_Atella keeps her eyes out as they go in to the depths of the temple.
[22:47] * +Grendel` grimaces and looks around, making the sign of the cog at how Primitive the Ecclesiarchy is.
[22:48] * +Lazerus_Grim walks into the cell and gives a short whistle to Demon to follow him. The dog is visibly disturbed, no doubt by the loss of mental connection to his master. As Lazerus sits and pets the dog, he seems gain some comfort. 1"This is understandable, and therefore acceptable. We thank you for providing us with a room though you do not accept my kind."
[22:49] <@BradGM> Elon "Silence witch! Beg for the good Sister's faith and presence to have allow us to tolerate you within this sacred temple of the God-Emperor."
[22:50] <+Elana> "He will not be permitted to defile this place with any sorcerous blasphemies, of that you have my word."
[22:53] <@BradGM> Elon "you ease my mind, but the thread remains. I shall pray for protection."
[22:54] <@BradGM> Elon "now, let us take you to your cells upstairs
[22:54] <+Grendel`> "I am sure the Omnissiah will provide."
[22:54] * +Mira_Atella tries to say the words to Laz without cracking a smile, "You're a bad, bad man."
[22:55] <+Elana> ((lol))
[22:55] <@BradGM> Elon seems to be displeased as the mention odf the Omnissiah.
[22:56] * +Elana shoots the Tech-Priest a quick glance before following the priest. 1"When will you hold mass? I would like to join the ceremony."
[22:57] <@BradGM> Elon "We shall ahve one at midday, and another at sundown."
[22:58] <@BradGM> Elon "it is unfortunate you missed the morning mass."
[22:58] <+Grendel`> ((She'll have to be punished for that))
[22:58] <+Elana> ((:P))
[22:58] <@BradGM> Elon "Have all your spiritual needs filled today, or shall we go into confession?"
[22:58] * +Grendel` walks behind the group, his footsteps thudding as he keeps up.
[22:59] * +Elana eyes her companions questioningly.
[23:00] * +Mira_Atella gives a shrug towards Elana, "We can get.. settled, if you need a few moments." She looks at the surroundings.
[23:01] <+Elana> "Does none of you wish to join me? The Tech-Priest I can ... understand"6, she pauses for a moment too long before the word, 1"... but what about you, Mira?"
[23:01] <@BradGM> The cells are simple room with a hard looking bed, a small kneeler for ptrayers and a desk with chair with some writing material
[23:02] <+Mira_Atella> "I think I'll take my turn later. I have a few things I need to go through in my bag." Reaches over her shoulder and pats the harness.
[23:03] <+Elana> "Very well." 6She turns to Elon again. 1"In this case it will only be me, it seems."
[23:03] <+Mira_Atella> (( Please, like she really thought Mira would go lol ))
[23:03] <+Elana> (( faith provides hope! ))
[23:03] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((no, but we also never thought Mira would smile....))
[23:03] <+Elana> ((hah!))
[23:04] <+Mira_Atella> (( Faith provides hope alright.. Faith that Mira will have a good laugh at Elana's expense once she's gone ))
[23:04] * +Grendel` enters his cell. "Tarry not too long Sister, we have work to be about."
[23:05] <+Elana> "No rest for the virtuous"6, the Sister intones as she leaves with the cleric.
[23:05] <@BradGM> it takes an hour for Elana to pass at confesion
[23:05] * +Mira_Atella makes her way to a location that looks a bit more clean and unfastens the front clasps of the harness, removing the bag and opening the zipper, pretending to be interested in something.
[23:07] <@BradGM> ((what, like in public, Mira? You ahve your own room now))
[23:07] <@BradGM> ((and by cells, I mean priest rooms, not prison cells))
[23:07] <+Mira_Atella> (( ah, thought it was just one big cell type thing ))
[23:07] <+Elana> ((she's such a tease ... poor preachers))
[23:08] <@BradGM> ((well, she's got to use all thsoe social skills she's got))
[23:09] <+Mira_Atella> (( heh.. she just took off her backpack, not like she's stripping ))
[23:09] <+Elana> ((I wonder if that gives a bonus to "Charm"))
[23:09] <+Elana> ((suuuure, just the backpack .. ;))
[23:09] <@BradGM> ((it's situational))
[23:10] <+Grendel`> ((This coming from a Sister who already managed to rack up an hour's worth of confessions))
[23:10] <@BradGM> ((well, she's been a month in the warp after all))
[23:10] <+Elana> ((now you see how hard it is for me with y'all!))
[23:10] <+Elana> ((also, travelling with a psyker and a tech-priest, some self-doubt about Mira, etc))
[23:11] * +Grendel` sorts out his gear, considering what he might need within the next day, and what he can leve here, beseeching the spirits of his gear and murmuring to them.
[23:11] * +Mira_Atella finishes with her bag and straps it back on, clicking the snaps in to place in the front.
[23:13] <@BradGM> ((so you're all going dressed as you're currently are?))
[23:14] <+Mira_Atella> (( Mira is, at least ))

[20:15] <@BradGM> +++ After a rather uneventful wait, Victrix called back and booked passage for Mockingbird toward Sisk aboard a transport ship. The monotone, month-long journey was as uneventful, as warp voyages can be, brought them to the Arnhut Spaceport a distance from the shore, a wide view of the Feudal city, shadowed by the Emperor’s Temple.
[20:15] <@BradGM> As Mira managed to secure passage across, Grendel spotted a boat with the markings of Darius, the inquisitional contact Jex was working on-location. With the possibility of Darius being on-board, Mira let her ship leave, but the only thing worth finding was information
[20:15] <@BradGM> Darius operates from his warehouse in Arnhut, where he bolstered security 6 months ago. Mira left to get passage across, but with Elana’s presence, secure free passage to the port city. +++

[20:18] <+Mira_Atella> (( yay, I have that skill ))

[20:18] * +Mira_Atella looks to Grendel, "Do you want to try and find a port to get info from, or should we do it the old fashion way?"
[20:19] * +Grendel` looks around for the possibility of it.
[20:20] <+Grendel`> "I am not sure yet."

[21:53] <+Mira_Atella> (( You all suck ;) ))
[21:55] <@BradGM> Mira, you notice in the crowd, hanging aobut in an alley, some burly handlebar wearing man seemingly observing you; everyone is of course, but he seems to be concentrating on you more than the people.
[21:56] * +Mira_Atella keeps her voice low, but audible enough for the rest of the team, "We're being watched. Moustache in the alley. Try not to all stare at once."
[21:56] <@BradGM> !perc 45
[21:56] <+DiceServitor> BradGM rolls [ 45% (or Lower) : 12 40%, Success ]
[21:57] * +Elana 's head turns into the respective direction almost immediately, though at least not the whole way.
[21:57] <@BradGM> He sees that you see him, and you see that as well!
[21:58] <+Mira_Atella> "Well so much for that.. want to grab him before he runs off?"
[21:58] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((he's watching us, and we're watching him watch us, and he's watching us watching him watching us. let's watch him))
[21:58] <@BradGM> ((keeping in mind that you got a sister of battle in full battle armour, and a huge tech-priest.))
[21:58] * +Elana blinks, eyeing the man's reaction. (does he run?)
[21:59] <+Elana> ((you have to go deeper))
[21:59] <@BradGM> He doesn't run,he simply walk into the alley and disapear from your view.
[21:59] * +Grendel` lets his mechadendrite examine the man, noting his appearance.
[22:00] <+Elana> "He did not appear startled... Should we pursue him either way?"
[22:01] <+Grendel`> "I think it is perhaps too late."
[22:01] <+Mira_Atella> "He could have just been curious like the rest. Word about us is likely all over town already."
[22:03] <+Elana> "Perhaps ..." 6The Sisters voice hints at an underlying suspicion, though this comes to no surprise giving her cloistered upbringing.
[22:03] <+Lazerus_Grim> "Demon could track him down if you'd like. And I can offer methods that guarantee his....truthfulness."
[22:04] * +Grendel` glances down at the dog in disbelief. "I do not see the cybernetic additions common to the cybermastiffs that would allow such an event."
[22:05] * +Elana gives a short, unfriendly glance over her right pauldron, but refrains from commenting. Her facial expression hints at conflicting thoughts.
[22:07] <+Mira_Atella> "That's really up to you, if you think the animal has the ability."
[22:07] <@BradGM> You arrive to the More middle class residential district and into the more cleaner, nobler area.
[22:08] <+Elana> "I will never understand why in His name you would give this creature such a detestable name. Do you wish to offend?"
[22:10] * +Lazerus_Grim shrugs. 1"His red fur seems indicative of demons, and it went well with my own name and image."
[22:11] * +Grendel` continues to move, letting the argument wash over him as he keeps an eye out for the man or any others.
[22:11] * +Elana simply returns her view to the front, the heavy armour hiding the slight shiver that ran down her spine.
[22:12] <+Mira_Atella> "I think the opportunity passed, so let's not do..." she waves a hand around between the two of them, ".. whatever this is, and just keep moving."
[22:16] <+Grendel`> "I have noticed that the average decible level of your conversations have gone up. Is there a problem?"
[22:16] * Miria (Miria@acacia9.lnk.telstra.net) has joined #Shadowrun
[22:16] <@BradGM> You arrive at the Temple.
[22:16] * +Mira_Atella stays slightly behind to allow Elana room to do her thing.
[22:17] * +Grendel` wisely remains in the background, though he makes the sign of the cog.
[22:18] * +Elana continues onward, giving a short look up towards the building's spire before continueing on the stairs, her spirit elevated by the chapel's inspiring size.
[22:18] <@BradGM> ((using the front door or the side door))
[22:19] <+Elana> ((front))
[22:21] * +Lazerus_Grim waits outside with Demon. 1"I get the feeling I'd better wait for you to finish."
[22:22] <@BradGM> You enter the Temple by the immense door, a small cadre of clerics with lids cencers, aquila staffs, and purity seals.
[22:22] * +Mira_Atella gives Laz a look, "I think you should come in. If we're staying here, we don't need to give them a reason to inspect you more closely by acting different."
[22:24] * +Elana does not wait for the others. Making the sign of the Aquila as she enters, she steps forward, inspecting the interior as she ventures deeper into the temple.
[22:24] * +Mira_Atella follows inside, not waiting to see if Lazerus joins them.
[22:25] * +Lazerus_Grim shrugs. "I don't imagine the sister will keep that a secret."
[22:25] * +Grendel` follows, his mechadendrites waving, examining the seals and any other decorations
[22:25] <+Grendel`> (brb)
[22:26] <@BradGM> THe cadre f clerics approaches "Sister Elana, where is the heretic?"
[22:26] <@BradGM> They got around you, waving their cencers around, covering you in tich incen
[22:27] <@BradGM> you=everyone of you)_)
[22:28] * +Mira_Atella narrows her eyes warily at them.
[22:30] * +Elana inclines her head, seemingly not bothered by the incense. 1"Ave Imperator, Adept Elon." 6Turning to the side, she gestures towards the massive door. 1"Waiting outside, as might befit him. Still, as much as I dislike the thought of bringing the taint of the Witch onto this sacred ground, I feel it safer he be kept under watch."
[22:31] <@BradGM> ((oh, incense))
[22:31] <+Elana> ((no prob, as long as everyone gets it we're fine ;))
[22:32] <+Mira_Atella> (( I think we've all learned Brad-speak by now ;) ))
[22:32] <@BradGM> ((har.))
[22:32] <@BradGM> ((Laz, did you go in?))
[22:33] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((nope))
[22:35] <@BradGM> ELon looks outside at Lazerus "What? he is not tied, and still armed?"
[22:37] * Miria (Miria@acacia9.lnk.telstra.net) Quit (Signed off)
[22:40] * +Elana follows the priest. 1"He has been sanctioned, Adept. I would request you to see past his mutation for the remainder of our stay - aside from the necessary precautions, of course."
[22:40] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((she defended me! *sniff* i'm so touched))
[22:41] <@BradGM> Lazerus, the cadre and cleric arrives to you with Elana.
[22:41] <@BradGM> Elon "Follow us...heathen!"
[22:41] * +Lazerus_Grim nods once with a sigh, and follows Elon.
[22:41] <+Elana> ((:D))
[22:43] <@BradGM> You are taken to the basement, then down agian to the cellar, then down to the dungeon, and into a moist, dark warden cell; you can feel your contact with the wrp being cut sharp.
[22:44] * +Elana nods as the cleric seems to do as requested and the group started moving. 1"You have my gratitude. Rest assured that this ... disturbance is in accordance with our duty to the Throne."
[22:46] <+Grendel`> ((Bcak, soryr))
[22:46] <@BradGM> Elon "Oh yes sister, but We hope that you will keep him on a tight leash."
[22:46] * +Mira_Atella keeps her eyes out as they go in to the depths of the temple.
[22:47] * +Grendel` grimaces and looks around, making the sign of the cog at how Primitive the Ecclesiarchy is.
[22:48] * +Lazerus_Grim walks into the cell and gives a short whistle to Demon to follow him. The dog is visibly disturbed, no doubt by the loss of mental connection to his master. As Lazerus sits and pets the dog, he seems gain some comfort. 1"This is understandable, and therefore acceptable. We thank you for providing us with a room though you do not accept my kind."
[22:49] <@BradGM> Elon "Silence witch! Beg for the good Sister's faith and presence to have allow us to tolerate you within this sacred temple of the God-Emperor."
[22:50] <+Elana> "He will not be permitted to defile this place with any sorcerous blasphemies, of that you have my word."
[22:53] <@BradGM> Elon "you ease my mind, but the thread remains. I shall pray for protection."
[22:54] <@BradGM> Elon "now, let us take you to your cells upstairs
[22:54] <+Grendel`> "I am sure the Omnissiah will provide."
[22:54] * +Mira_Atella tries to say the words to Laz without cracking a smile, "You're a bad, bad man."
[22:55] <+Elana> ((lol))
[22:55] <@BradGM> Elon seems to be displeased as the mention odf the Omnissiah.
[22:56] * +Elana shoots the Tech-Priest a quick glance before following the priest. 1"When will you hold mass? I would like to join the ceremony."
[22:57] <@BradGM> Elon "We shall ahve one at midday, and another at sundown."
[22:58] <@BradGM> Elon "it is unfortunate you missed the morning mass."
[22:58] <+Grendel`> ((She'll have to be punished for that))
[22:58] <+Elana> ((:P))
[22:58] <@BradGM> Elon "Have all your spiritual needs filled today, or shall we go into confession?"
[22:58] * +Grendel` walks behind the group, his footsteps thudding as he keeps up.
[22:59] * +Elana eyes her companions questioningly.
[23:00] * +Mira_Atella gives a shrug towards Elana, "We can get.. settled, if you need a few moments." She looks at the surroundings.
[23:01] <+Elana> "Does none of you wish to join me? The Tech-Priest I can ... understand"6, she pauses for a moment too long before the word, 1"... but what about you, Mira?"
[23:01] <@BradGM> The cells are simple room with a hard looking bed, a small kneeler for ptrayers and a desk with chair with some writing material
[23:02] <+Mira_Atella> "I think I'll take my turn later. I have a few things I need to go through in my bag." Reaches over her shoulder and pats the harness.
[23:03] <+Elana> "Very well." 6She turns to Elon again. 1"In this case it will only be me, it seems."
[23:03] <+Mira_Atella> (( Please, like she really thought Mira would go lol ))
[23:03] <+Elana> (( faith provides hope! ))
[23:03] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((no, but we also never thought Mira would smile....))
[23:03] <+Elana> ((hah!))
[23:04] <+Mira_Atella> (( Faith provides hope alright.. Faith that Mira will have a good laugh at Elana's expense once she's gone ))
[23:04] * +Grendel` enters his cell. "Tarry not too long Sister, we have work to be about."
[23:05] <+Elana> "No rest for the virtuous"6, the Sister intones as she leaves with the cleric.
[23:05] <@BradGM> it takes an hour for Elana to pass at confesion
[23:05] * +Mira_Atella makes her way to a location that looks a bit more clean and unfastens the front clasps of the harness, removing the bag and opening the zipper, pretending to be interested in something.
[23:07] <@BradGM> ((what, like in public, Mira? You ahve your own room now))
[23:07] <@BradGM> ((and by cells, I mean priest rooms, not prison cells))
[23:07] <+Mira_Atella> (( ah, thought it was just one big cell type thing ))
[23:07] <+Elana> ((she's such a tease ... poor preachers))
[23:08] <@BradGM> ((well, she's got to use all thsoe social skills she's got))
[23:09] <+Mira_Atella> (( heh.. she just took off her backpack, not like she's stripping ))
[23:09] <+Elana> ((I wonder if that gives a bonus to "Charm"))
[23:09] <+Elana> ((suuuure, just the backpack .. ;))
[23:09] <@BradGM> ((it's situational))
[23:10] <+Grendel`> ((This coming from a Sister who already managed to rack up an hour's worth of confessions))
[23:10] <@BradGM> ((well, she's been a month in the warp after all))
[23:10] <+Elana> ((now you see how hard it is for me with y'all!))
[23:10] <+Elana> ((also, travelling with a psyker and a tech-priest, some self-doubt about Mira, etc))
[23:11] * +Grendel` sorts out his gear, considering what he might need within the next day, and what he can leve here, beseeching the spirits of his gear and murmuring to them.
[23:11] * +Mira_Atella finishes with her bag and straps it back on, clicking the snaps in to place in the front.
[23:13] <@BradGM> ((so you're all going dressed as you're currently are?))
[23:14] <+Mira_Atella> (( Mira is, at least ))
[23:14] <+Grendel`> ((Going with the armor under the robe and the laspistol underneath as well))
[23:16] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((midnight blue combat cloak, black bowl (with silver mask hidden), and scythe as a 'walking staff'))

[23:18] * +Grendel` counts the minutes on his chrono as he waits for the Sister to return, hoping the word of their arrival has not spread too far.
[23:21] * +Mira_Atella notices Grendel looking at his chrono, "I'd say we could go up and find her, but I don't know if we could find our way in this place. Lest we walk in to somewhere we shouldn't be."
[23:22] <+Mira_Atella> "These religious types are... kinda scary. Don't want to piss them off."
[23:22] <+Elana> ((*lol* how that sounds))
[23:23] <@BradGM> an hour passes**
[23:24] * +Grendel` nods. "Agreed. They are..touchy."

[23:26] <+Mira_Atella> (( Only kind worth collecting! ))
[23:27] * +Grendel` mutters supplications to his laspistol in binaric cant as he waits for the primitive, superstitious rites of the Ecclesiarchy to finish.
