Kjato Ragfoot: Hi Gooner
Smon: Hi Kjato.
Goonergeezer: i had a bad roll got a 3

Smon: You can try to explain to him why you need heavy warhorses if you like
Goonergeezer: you mean we cant ride into a cave complex
Smon: Generally, no.
Goonergeezer: light will be fine i just wanted to know what type of lance i shoukld equip
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader prefers iceland ponies. He'd need a ladder to climb a horse.
Smon: Anyway I'm doing it that you can rear the horse so it attacks, or attack yourself, but not both.
Goonergeezer: fair enough
Smon: I might let high level Fighters (7+) use 1 of their atts to have the horse attack & stil get an attack, though.

Smon: More importantly, Corak now has access to 2nd level spells! What is your default spell list Corak?
chris107: Just going to pour a glass (I don't share Opa's aversion) Then I'm ready to face anything
Goonergeezer: right has ulrich given us hector markles adrress?

Eliana slides in while nobody is looking .... Dooo!
Goonergeezer: lets get straight around to markle residence and start asking questions one of us go and se aole#
genghisdon: detect evil, detect magic & know alignment or augary might be good for city adventuring
Goonergeezer: the females of the group stay with us , the twins will be more likely to speak to another female
Kjato Ragfoot: Good idea.
Mablir Dorlig: DM: Corak needs to go and call in on the inn keep/Lycanthrope at some point today
genghisdon: being as in game terms we gain nothing splitting up, i say we stick together (gamism)
Mablir Dorlig: (ism, ism, ism...)
Smon:
Goonergeezer: yea but this jkidnapping could be time sesititve and it only takes one to check aole if any thing is wrong they can come aND GET US SO WE CALL ALL SORT IT OUT
Goonergeezer: sory xcaps
chris107: Opa seems to remember Morganna checked on the werewolf earlier...
genghisdon: no worries. lets go
genghisdon: Morg "Stanley is doing ok, and so is his family, though they are worried, the poor dears"
Goonergeezer: who is gonna check o aole?
Goonergeezer: not flynn
Smon: GM: It is currently evening, you've been training all day, or in Morganna's case walking back from Hawfair Green. Are you going tonight, or tomorrow morning?
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader: I will. Would be good if some of you magic-users would come along.
Mablir Dorlig: Corak made a promie to do it daily though
Goonergeezer: we should see the family as soon as posss so i say tonight
genghisdon: Morg "Duvader, though i'd like his take on the kidnapping too...lets all go to the mansion"
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader would vote tomorrow morning. Aole can wait that long.
Smon: GM: We can say Corak has checked in with Stanley the past few days, since the priests allowed access - he was training nearby anyway.
Smon: Stanley is pale but composed.
Mablir Dorlig: Corak thinks it better to visit the werelandlord and spend some time praying
Kjato Ragfoot: OK. In that case, I will follow, as long as we check on Aole tomorrow.
genghisdon: "sounds good to me"
chris107: (werelandlord - I like that one )
Smon: GM: Ok, so Corak is visiting Stanley, the rest of you go to visit the Markles.
Mablir Dorlig: Need to check if he's been cured yet, if not prayers will be asking priests why not
Mablir Dorlig: OOC: (I'm not a fan of the Hawkes so, ipso facto, not of their friends either)
chris107: Sorry guys a log on my fire has just spit a big burning bit out
chris107: brb
genghisdon: aren't we gonna call oursellves "hawke's avengers" or something?
Kjato Ragfoot: Fellowship of the Hawkes?
genghisdon: i guess "those nice adventurers" will do
Goonergeezer: Hawke's Hawks
Eliana Has exited the room
chris107: (The ShiteHawkes?)
genghisdon: heh
genghisdon: (winner!)
Mablir Dorlig: (defo winner!!)
Smon: GM: You all leave th Green Dragon, heading across Gatehouse Plaza at the Rivergate. At Guild St Corak bids goodnight to the others and heads south to the Grand Temple to pray with Stanley. The rest of you can continue down Wall Avenue until you reach College St just north of the Citadel, and the Markle mansion.
genghisdon: (but he is lightning now...)
genghisdon: "come with us Corak, this girl needs succor!"
chris107: ((Couldn't find the big burny bit at first but could smell it, it had landed on a jumper in a nearby chair and singed it quite badly )
Smon: The student dormitories are close by, just east of West Way, on Students Alley.
Smon: (bad luck chris)
genghisdon: (sorry to hear it chris...bad fire!)
chris107: ((What kind of idiot has a log fire these days anyway?)
Smon: The mansion is a gothic-style 2 story residence in its own grounds.
chris107: Opa @ Group - That Mr. Hawkes chap told Hector we could help...
Mablir Dorlig: Corak @ Morganna "I have pledged myself to keep Stanley under my eye, alas I must spend an hour with him - mayhap I will meet you later"
Smon: Above the entrance is the coat of arms Opa saw, an open book with 'Mark Words of Wisdom'.
genghisdon: @ Corak "ok then, say hi to Stanley for me"
chris107: Opa @ Group - Maybe he's expecting us?
Smon: As you approach, two armoured guardsmen are just about to close the front gates for the night.
genghisdon: i knock on the door
genghisdon: oops
Mablir Dorlig: Corak @ group "I shall pass on greetings to Stanley from you all"
Goonergeezer: garrrick: hold there we have business with your master
genghisdon: "hello there, we are here to investigate victoria's dissapearance"
chris107: @Hello' and waves
Smon: The guards stop, noting Garrick's Hawkes tabard. "Ho there. You're Sir Ulrich's men, right? You wish to see Mr Markle?"
genghisdon: "yes, we would"
Goonergeezer: garrick@ guard " we do and his daughters too"
Goonergeezer: garrick@ guard " are they in this night?"
Smon: The guards nod and escort you to the door, pulling the bell rope. A sombrely dressed usher opens the door. "Good evening, gentlemen."
chris107: Opa waves from the back
genghisdon: "good evening"
Smon: /roll 1d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets:
2,
Smon: You explain yourselves again, the usher escorts you to a waiting room.
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader bows.
genghisdon: (daughters are another house hold gooner)
Smon: Usher: "Mr Markle has one daughter, Victoria. She is missing."
Goonergeezer: OOc sorry brian not working at all there
genghisdon: "before you go guards, could either of you shed any light on Victoria's nature?"
chris107: (Any thing in a skirt seems to interst Garrick -Thinks Opa silently)
chris107:
genghisdon: (poor maligned GaRRICK)
Smon: The guards don't reply to Garrick.
Smon: (or Morganna)
genghisdon: or me?
genghisdon: hmm
Smon: /roll 1d6
chris107: (You beat me to it!)
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets:
5,
Smon: Usher: "The President is home, as is Madam Markle. Shall I announce you?"
genghisdon: "please do"
Smon: The usher leaves you for a short while. When he returns, a well-dressed middle-aged couple are with him, the man is slight of build, balding and wears spectacles. The woman is plumper and has clearly been crying a lot.
genghisdon: "greetings and condolences"
Mablir Dorlig: (OOC: I'll prob join party shortly but need to eat, I'll keep an eye in case things blow up)
chris107: Opa looks with concern at the poor woman and offers condolences.
Smon: "Good evening" says the man. "I'm Markle, College President. You must be the Hawkes men."
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader My Sorries.
Smon: Mrs Markle sniffles.
genghisdon: "and Women, yea"
Smon: Hektor nods to Morganna: "And women. My apologies, of course." He sighs sadly.
chris107: Opa instinctively comforts the lady (having only recently lost her own family)
Smon: "I just don't understand it..."
genghisdon: "we have heard your daughter Victoria has been missing for 9 days now...I know it is hard, but can you go over the last few days she was here?"
Eliana Has entered the room
Smon: Hektor: "Everything was completely normal. I mean, we don't see that much of her. She's always out shopping, or with her friends, or both..."
Smon: "...She has very expensive tastes."
genghisdon: "could you prepare a list of the shops she frequents, of her friend's & their addresses?"
Smon: Mrs Markle nods in agreement.
Smon: Hektor shrugs. "I don't pay so much attention to fashion. Her best friends are Oswald Striker's girls, Annabel and Ivy."
genghisdon: "is it possible their was a man, a new one perhaps, in her life?"
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader We should speak with her friends, then.
Smon: Mrs Striker: "She always went to the Haberdasher... Albert Rasch. Only the finest for Victoria. She loves her lingeries..."
chris107: ((OOC - Did you win the PHB by the way Simon?))
genghisdon: "thank you"
Smon: (yup)
chris107:
genghisdon: "was there anything unusual in YOUR lives recently? an enemy made, or something like that?"
genghisdon: "servant dismiised, anything?"
chris107: (9Lusty human fighters sniffing about thinks Opa silently )
Smon: Morgana: "is it possible their was a man, a new one perhaps, in her life?" Hektor & Madam Markle both shake their heads. "She didn't say anything. But she never tells us anything..."
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader Is there is servant who has her confidence?
genghisdon: "an old nanny or the like?"
Smon: Hektor: "An enemy? I don't think so... I mean, Yggsburgh has many enemies. Talworth is always plotting against us, especially, and sending slavers...." Mrs Markle sobs.
genghisdon: "no, i meant specific to yourselves"
chris107: Opa quietly to Madam Markle @Where was she heading the last time you saw her?
Smon: Hektor: "Personal enemies? I can't think of any... her nanny died three years ago. "
genghisdon: "no younger servant she liked?"
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader Does she has a ... maid? or what is this servant for females called?
genghisdon: (maid sounds good to me)
Smon: Opa has her arm round Madam Markle's shoulder, comforting the tearful lady. Madam Markle: "I think it was the day before she vanished... She said something about getting a new hat, and clothes... underwear, stockings."
Goonergeezer: garrick: would it be ok if i searched her room to see if i can find anyrthing useful?
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader No.
genghisdon: (well, unless anyone wants to round up their servants & chat them all up, lets go to the haberdasher's)
Goonergeezer: garrick: perhaps a diary or somehting
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader If there is someone searching, it will be one of the females.
Smon: Madam Markle: "There's just the upstairs maid, and Doreen my lady in waiting. But she's more an old friend of mine than a servant."
chris107: Opa makes reassuring comments and promises most faithfully to do everything in her power to find the missing girl.
Smon: GM: The Haberdasher will be closed by now.
genghisdon: "we all will do our best, madam. May Opa & I searxh her room for clues?"
Goonergeezer: garrick@ i have no problem with that, Mr markle would it be alright if one of the females here searched your daughters room?
Smon: Hektor nods. "Yes... I suppose so."
Smon: "The Usher can escort you."
genghisdon: "thank you, could your maid show the way?"
genghisdon: "ok"
chris107: Opa goes with Morganna to look for clues
Goonergeezer: garrick: you two go and search we will go and see mr rasch, Mr Markle would you know his home address?
Smon: GM: The usher escorts Morganna & Opa upstairs.
Smon: Markle @Garrick: "The Haberdasher? No, I don't know his address."
genghisdon: (the strikers)
genghisdon: (but wait for us)
Goonergeezer: garrick@ markle my apologies i thought that considering your position in the bank you might know his address, being that he is the most expensive outfitter in town
Smon: GM: The usher opens a door off the landing and leads the two elf-maids into a very feminine room, a large 4-poster bed in the middle.
Smon: There are many chests of draws and closets.
Eliana Has exited the room
Mablir Dorlig: (Haberdasher??)
genghisdon: (and you give him obscene amounts of $)
genghisdon: "thank you sir"
chris107: Opa scratches her head trying to think back the hundred or so years since she was young and remember where she would hide things
genghisdon: Morganna flops on the bed...checks under pillows, ect
Smon: There is a portrait depicting an elegant, attractive young woman with immaculately coiffed brown hair, wearing long white gloves, a cream silk dress, and much expensive jewelry.
genghisdon: "that's good to know, what she looks like"
chris107: Opa checks the frame and back of the pic
Smon: Markle looks at Garrick. "I am the President of the College. Oswald Striker is Bank President. I do not concern myself with Haberdashers." He sounds offended.
genghisdon: "well pretty victoria, lets see what we can learn..."
chris107: Opa @ Morganna (maybe a bit bitchily) She's not that pretty.
genghisdon: I'll do a "super elf" quick search, then move onto cheacking all the boxes, ect
Goonergeezer: ooc sorry i am getting everything mixed up tonight
genghisdon: Morganna looks again..."yes, she is pretty"
Smon: Morgana spots a diary on a bedside table.
genghisdon: "not as pretty as you Opa dear"
Smon: OOC: You better take some notes, you don't want to screw up IC.
chris107: Opa @ Morganna
genghisdon: i open the diary near the back
chris107: (Does the diary have a dust jacket or loose cover?)
genghisdon: and work backward till it starts
chris107: (Or a spine that could hold rolled up sheets?)
genghisdon: (clever Opa)
chris107: (Opa's not as daft as she looks, highly intelligent in fact )
Smon: Morgana reads the final entry: "19th Forunth. Such a bore today! Sir Hawkes was visiting daddy again, and he is so terribly common! Daddy says he wants to be on the Council. Oh well. Tomorrow shopping, then late luncheon with the Striker girls. I need new underwear, and a hat that'll impress them..."
genghisdon: the entry before that?
chris107: Opa continues looking in all the nooks and crannies, atop the four poster etc for anything that looks 'hidden' or out of place.
Kjato Ragfoot: ((Why the hell does she need new underwear if she is to visit some friends?))
Smon: GM: There's a lot of stuff about parties, and shopping. Some idle gossip, mostly about various young women in her social set.
genghisdon: (that fits all the description we have so far)
genghisdon: i give the book to Opa to check for secrets
genghisdon: then start looking through the boxes & chests
chris107: Opa also checks the various perfume bottles (just in case a familiar smell can be detected later on)
Smon: Judging by the contents of the chests of drawers, Victoria already had a lot of lacy underwear. The bras/halters look very large to Opa's eye. There are also a lot of hats in a wardrobe, and numerous dresses.
genghisdon: (she is "driends" just like Morganna is)
Mablir Dorlig: (depends on the underwear and the friends
)
genghisdon: good idea on perfume, Morganna sniffs it too
chris107: Opa looks sourly at the large bras
genghisdon: "humans...what can they do, they are cow like"
Goonergeezer: garrick: right come on while they are upstairs let go to the haberdashers
Mablir Dorlig: (never mind the quality, feel the cup size)
chris107: Then down at her own non-existant 4 stone chest
genghisdon: "but fun"
Smon: The diary mentions a brief affair with a handsome young Captain of the guards about 3 months ago, Cpt Mosely Montjoy, she seems to have dumped him for being 'bucolic'.
genghisdon: (he is closed gooner)
genghisdon: excellent
genghisdon: I'll bring down the portrait & diary
chris107: Opa @ Morganna - That's worth following up
Goonergeezer: he might live above the shop or he might be working late of someones clothes
Smon: That's all in the diary - it starts M1 96 YY
genghisdon: so there should be other diaries around?
chris107: Opa @ morganna - I wonder if the family met this 'Montjoy' chap?
genghisdon: anyway, I want to let the others see what she looks like before they run off
genghisdon: "lets go find out "
Mablir Dorlig: Corak will now head towards the rest, hopefully being able to enter by saying he is a friend of Garrick's
chris107: Opa has one last look round for loose floor boards or secret compartments that her quick elven eyes may detect.
genghisdon: i bring the portrait & diary down to the others
genghisdon: "we can come back Opa"
Smon: /roll 1d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets:
3,
chris107: 1-3 Concealed
chris107: 1-2 secret
genghisdon: heh
Smon: GM: There's a jewelry chest under the bedside table, and you find a key under the pillow.
chris107: Opa investigates
genghisdon: i put my hand ubder there!
Smon: (You've smelt the perfume BTW, very nice)
Smon: GM: You open the chest with the key?
chris107: Yes
Smon: The chest clicks open. Inside is a lot of jewelry - diamond and pearl, mostly. Necklaces, tiaras, pendants, ear-rings... Must be hundreds of gold worth.
Smon: Maybe over a thousand.
genghisdon: (who is their jeweler?)
Smon: (you didn't ask)
chris107: (Opa admires the lovely jewelry)
genghisdon: (i will)
chris107: And sorts through to make sure there are no false panals within
genghisdon: i head downstair while opa oggles
Smon: You leave the jewelry & the diary and take the portrait downstairs?
genghisdon: i take the diary too, in my pouch
Smon: /roll 1d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets:
4,
Smon: No false bottom. You do spot a chest under the bed - opening it reveals a stack of diaries going back 13 years, it looks like.
chris107: ((OOC I'm finding it very difficult hot to pocket the lot and am trying to think what OPa would do))
Smon:
genghisdon: (heh, made u a dilemma)
Kjato Ragfoot: ((Well, ask a specialist if you need advise))
genghisdon: chaotic GOOD
Mablir Dorlig: (13 diaries would probably weigh more than Opa)
chris107: Thousands of GP
genghisdon: (u a fighter, not a thief!)
chris107: (In easily concealed jewelrt!)
Kjato Ragfoot: ((Duvader = Fighter + Thief))
genghisdon: (steal it then)
chris107: Opa likes jewelry (and animals)
genghisdon: lol
Eliana Has entered the room
Smon: Morgana goes downstairs with the current diary and the portrait, which is quite large. Garick & Duvader see the portrait of an elegant, glamorous young woman of about 25, with an hourglass figure, rather large breasts, and a somewhat self-satisfied expression.n
genghisdon: "take a good look lads, we need to find her"
Smon: Markle: "That's Victoria. She had that done two years ago."
genghisdon: "how old is this portrait?"
genghisdon: "thanks sir"
chris107: Opa sighs and locks the jewelry box. Putting the key back where she found it.
Smon: Markle: "She's quite tall - 5'7" I think..."
genghisdon: "a lovely young woman of impecable breeding"
genghisdon: "any other physical characteristics that might aid us?"
Smon: Madam Markle: "Well, she has a freckle on her left hip... "
Smon: Madam Markle weeps. "Oh, I do hope she's alright! If anything has happened, I'll never forgive myself!"
genghisdon: "ok...well then, could you tell us what jeweler's shops she frequented?"
genghisdon: "for what dear lady?"
Smon: The couple look at each other.
Smon: "For letting her go out unaccompanied! The streets aren't safe these days, even within the walls!"
chris107: Opa says to madam Markle - You should move your daughters jewelry to a safer place. it's under the bed - the keys under the pillow. best to keep it safe for her return.
genghisdon: "well, it shall become safe again soon, i promise"
genghisdon: (i don't think they know of it)
Smon: Madam Markle nods to Opa. "Thank you, dear."
chris107: (dont want any light fingered servants making off with it and us getting the blame)
genghisdon: "jeweler's? any specific shops the family dealt with?"
Smon: Madam Markle: "She said Zolan's Emporium in the Outs had the best jewelry, but she knew not to go to the Outs unaccompanied."
genghisdon: "maybe not"
chris107: Opa asks Madam Markle about the bucolic Captain Mosely
Smon: Madam Markle: "Mosely? Mosely Montjoy, Sir Reynard's son? He's a lovely boy."
Smon: "He danced with Victoria at the New Year's Ball at the Citadel. They made a lovely couple."
genghisdon: "did you know your daughter was interested in him for a time?"
genghisdon: ok, u did
genghisdon: I'll take the poirtrait back upstairs
chris107: Opa been unused to the ways of the world has a some what jaundiced view of romance - only ever having seen her friends rather 'forward' tactics...
Smon: Madam Markle nods. "But she hardly tells us anything! If I ask when she's getting married, she just laughs at me!"
genghisdon: (she is a lez)
Mablir Dorlig: (Morganna bait)
genghisdon: (yep)
chris107: (Opa wonders if he told his chums that he'd deflowered her)
genghisdon: once upstairs, i do a search for sec doors, pannels ect
Smon: GM: The diary seemed to indicate that Victoria found Captain Montjoy too staid & boring.
genghisdon: i gathered
chris107: (She's still not sure what 'deflowered' actually means)
Smon: GM: Moving forward, you find no secret doors etc and eventually the usher escorts you all out, it's now after 9pm, Corak is waiting outside.
genghisdon: before i go, i get the diary BEFORE this one
Smon: ok
Kjato Ragfoot: ((Opa: He who asks might get answers. He who not asks, will less likely get answers))
Smon: That's Yggs Year 95.
Goonergeezer: garrick to the striker residence
genghisdon: I'll tell them I'm taking them, to read for clues
genghisdon: what is this year?
genghisdon: 96?
Smon: Hektor nods to Morganna. "If you need them, I suppose."
Smon: It's YY 96
chris107: ((Opa thinks it best not to ask and is happy in the thought that whatever it is it probably involves forest gladed and those pretty little purple flowers....)
genghisdon: "i do not know if they will prove useful or not"
Smon: GM: You guys better be quick if you want a fight today
genghisdon: "but i shall return them"
genghisdon: give us streeet thugs
Eliana Has exited the room
genghisdon: brb
Mablir Dorlig: (Don't forget Corak heading back to group)
chris107: me too brb, this glass seems to be empty
Smon: GM: Moving forward, you find no secret doors etc and eventually the usher escorts you all out, it's now after 9pm, Corak is waiting outside.
Goonergeezer: garrick@ ok we got some leads let rest up tonight and visit ablers rasher, this jeweler and zoltan on the morning
Smon: GM: Are you retiring now for an early start, or going somewhere tonight?
Kjato Ragfoot: Retire.
chris107: Retire
Mablir Dorlig: Corak (assuming i've been filled in) would ie worth looking for montejoy(sp?)
chris107: (To dream of easy loot lost by staying in character )
Smon: GM: OK, you can return north to the Hawkes estate, Corak to the Inn.
Smon: Next morning you can assemble early at the Green Dragon.
Smon: You're going to the Haberdasher first?
Mablir Dorlig: (or the ligerie shop)
Goonergeezer: yes and then onto zolans emporium
Kjato Ragfoot: Zolan first.
chris107: Opa @ Group - We need to speak with Captain Montjoy, The Striker twins and visit the shops...
Smon: Haberdasher sells lingerie, it's a big 'department store' complex
genghisdon: wtf? retire?
chris107: lets split up and cover the ground more quickly
Eliana Has entered the room
genghisdon: i think the twins will point us to the shop, but someone pick
chris107: Opa - vote for splitting/staying together?
Goonergeezer: haberdashers, quick visit see igf he remembers her being here on the 20th
Smon: (usually best to stay together to avoid repetition etc)
chris107: Okay
genghisdon: does it help, we still only type as fast
genghisdon: i know we'dd split IRL, but it's a gameism
Smon: (your choice)
genghisdon: stay together
Mablir Dorlig: Corak would prefer sticking together he finds it very difficult to talk with strangers
Goonergeezer: quick then all to albert rashe haberdashers
chris107: Opa's happy to tag along
genghisdon: ok
Smon: GM: Shortly after the great store has opened that morning, you arrive outside Albert Rasch, Haberdasher, the premier supplier of fashionable clothing - and lingerie, and hats - in all Yggsburgh.
genghisdon: take the lead someone...bad cop if u please
Smon: You've been here before, several have bought outfits here, Garrick took a bath in a bathhouse just south of here.
chris107: Opa ogles at such a fine array of lovely things
Goonergeezer: staright in and ask the first person inside the shop serving to speak with mr rasche
chris107: Not poor Opa )
genghisdon: (yes, bought the dress & jewelry I'm wearing)
genghisdon: (thnx flynn & Duvader!)
Smon: The ground floor has the main front show rooms with many lovely things for Opa to ogle, plus coffee and tea bar.
chris107: Opa thinks to herself - few things could be as pretty as my fine elven mail though...
genghisdon: Morganna oggles the nice pretties too
Smon: Main showroom has manikins in fancy garments, 2nd showroom has footwear, belts, hats et al. Lingerie is to the rear, near the fitting rooms, a set for each sex.
genghisdon: to the rear I go
Smon: A salesgirl greets you.
Smon: "Good morning, sirs and ladies"
Mablir Dorlig: Corak will just go red in the face and bow his head in prayer - as far as possible he'll follow Garrick
Goonergeezer: garrick: good morning, would it be p[ossible to speak to mr rasch and the staff please?
Smon: The girl shakes her head. "Mr Rasch is not on the floor. Can I assist?"
genghisdon: "greetings, I'm looking to purchase something i saw a friend in, some lovelies Victoria H bought about a week & a half ago"
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader looks interestingly at some gnome women sized lingery. Hmm.
Smon:
Smon: The girl nods to Morgana. "Our lingerie is here... "
Smon: /roll 1d6
chris107:
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets:5,
genghisdon: "obviously she is much more, endowed than I, but do you know what i am looking for?"
Smon: "We can help you get fitted, if you would like to make a selection and..."
Goonergeezer: garrick: we were wondering if you or any of your staff remember the 20th of this month we would like to know if you remember a Miss Victoria markle visiting that day?
genghisdon: "oh, i can't be sure, do you have a sales record you could check for me?"
Smon: The girl looks puzzled at Morgana and shakes her head. "I'm not familiar with... I can ask the floor manager?"
genghisdon: (sorry gooner, we are going loggerheads)
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader We would appreciate that.
genghisdon: "surely"
Smon: "Excuse me." she goes over to the register desk and talks with an older man, who nods and comes over. "Good morning."
chris107: Opa tries to rid herself of the frightening image of Duv in frilly female knickers
Goonergeezer: ooc s'ok don we will confuse her into giving something away lol
genghisdon: go on
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader Good Morning. We would like to know whether Victoria Markle was here 9 days ago.
Smon: "Miss Victoria Markle is a most valued customer, of course..."
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader and whether she was here since.
Goonergeezer: garrick: good morning sir we are conducting and investigation into the disapearance of miss victoria markle, she went missing on the 20th of this month, would you or any of your staff be able to confirm if she visited your shop that day
Smon: He nods, and checks the register. "I don't have any sales to that name. She normally pays by credit, so I don't think she made a purchase that day."
Mablir Dorlig: Corak @ Garrick (whisper) ask if she ever came here with montejoy?
Smon: /roll 1d6
Goonergeezer: garrick: and could you recall if she ever visited the shop with anyone else?
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets:
6,
Smon: /roll 1d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets:6,
Smon: The man scratches his cheek. "I'm sorry, I don't recall."
Smon: He pauses. "Do you mean on other occasions? Yes, she was often here with her lady friends."
Eliana Has exited the room
Goonergeezer: garrick: we have no further questions at this time but we may have in the future, might i enquire youor name sir?
genghisdon: "really? she is well known to associate with the striker sisters, are u sure?"
genghisdon: ok
chris107: Opa @ Man - What a shame, it would help us discover her murderer so much easier if you could. You wouldn't want us to suspect you would you?
Smon: He nods. "I'm Gilbert Taylor."
genghisdon: lol
Smon: He looks startled at Opa. "Murderer?! She's been murdered?!"
genghisdon: "is there a salesperson she prefered to use? esp the one that day?"
genghisdon: "shhh..no, but she IS missing"
Goonergeezer: garrick: ok sir thank you very much, we will not take any more of your time
chris107: Opa looks on straight faced and says nothing
Smon: He thinks. "Hattie.... Hattie was on duty that day. I can fetch her."
genghisdon: "thanks you"
chris107: Opa smiles sweetly - It's so good you remember
Smon: Gilbert goes over to the Dresses area, and comes back with a woman of about 35. "Good morning. How can I help?"
genghisdon: morganna looks a t her with elf+hawk vision "yes"
genghisdon: "we are looking into the disapearance of Victoria Markle"
Smon: The woman is of average looks, slightly birdlike, hair pulled back.
Goonergeezer: garrick: hattie is it? hello my name is garrick, i was wondering if you recall seeing miss victoria markle on the 20th of this month
genghisdon: "could you tell us what she did & said the last time you saw her?"
genghisdon: (ixna the dates)
chris107: (Opa thinks - look out Hattie! Garrick will be after deflowering you)
genghisdon: (at 35 she already is, i hope, opa)
Smon: Hattie squints, thinking hard. "mm... Yes, she was here. She wanted new underwear. She..."
chris107: (Opa thinks that perhaps human women don't get much opportunity to visit the forest glades with pretty purple flowers....)
genghisdon: (morganna is here to guide them, luckily)
chris107:
Smon: Hattie's mouth opens. "Oh. You know, I'm not sure. I seem to recall she went into the changing roooms, but then some other customers caught my attention. I don't recall seeing her after that."
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader The changing room?
genghisdon: "are you certain? that's it?"
chris107: Opa slips off to search for secret doors in the changing rooms
Smon: She looks around. "Perhaps the changing room guard could assist you."
Goonergeezer: garrick: and do you remember who these other customers were, did you recognise them?
Smon: "There was Mrs Richardson, she wanted a stole..."
Goonergeezer: garrick: could you please direct us to him?
chris107: Opa taps the walls for hollow sounds etc.
Mablir Dorlig: Corak @ Gilbert & Hattie "If you remember anything else then contact me at the Green Dragon Inn - it would look bad if something came to light that you couldn't remember" Corak bows and adds "my blessing upon you both"
Smon: Opa goes over to the changing rooms, there are two entrances, male and female, each to a row of cubicles, with a private door at the near end to a security room. A single guard in ringmail stands outside, a small club at his belt.
Smon: /roll 1d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets:2,
chris107: Opa smiles winningly at him and enters the female rooms
Smon: Hattie nods to Corak.
Smon: The guard looks at Opa. "What're you trying on?"
Goonergeezer: finishing with hattie garrick heads towards the changing rooms to speak with the guard
chris107: Opa @ Guard 'Nothing you big strong man i'm just witing for my friend Morgana to pick out some thing pretty. I said I'd wait for her in here...
Smon: Guard: "We don't like people going in there to secrete things about their person..."
Smon: Garick approaches the guard. The man looks a bit nervous.
Mablir Dorlig: (I'm sure Morganna would enjoy a changing room encounter)
chris107: Opa - guileslly - you can search me on the way out if you wish
genghisdon: actually she has gotten bored & went outside to wait
Smon: Guard: "Anyway, there's woman getting changed in number six."
Goonergeezer: garrick: good morning sir, to whom am i adressing?
Smon: The guard turns. "Belfry. Who're you?"
genghisdon: (another day for changing room sexcapades!)
chris107: @ Group - Opa would really like to check for secret 'abducting' doors in the changing rooms
genghisdon: (grab some clothes chris)
Goonergeezer: garrick: i am chief inspector Garrick of a private investigation unit, we were wondering if we could ask you a few questions
chris107: @ DM can she stealthily slip past while the guard is distracted?
Smon: Belfry: "You're a Hawkes man, I can see your tabard..."
genghisdon: (if there is a secret door in there i will choke though...maybe a peep slot for a pervy wanker, but i can't see more)
chris107: (I just don't see how taking nothing in is a theft threat)
Mablir Dorlig: Corak approaches guard "my friend we are looking into a disappearance and would appreciate the help of you and your colleagues in this matter"
chris107: (Think slaver conspiricy with top peoples shop)
Smon: Opa slips past the guard. The first five cubicles are empty, #6 has the curtain drawn and Opa can see stockinged feet underneath.
genghisdon: (it's not ringing for me, but I'll admit, tis possible)
chris107: (She's not been seen since entering these changing rooms after all)
Goonergeezer: garrick: you were on duty on the 20th of this month, do you remember a miss victoria maekle comingg in that day
Smon: Belfry shrugs.
Smon: GM: Opa is able to quickly inspect the first 5 cubicles, not detecting anything. Is she waiting for the occupant of the 6th to exit?
Goonergeezer: garrick whispers @ belfry "sir, you do not appreciate the severity of this situation a young lady has been missing for 10 days now and all you can do is shrug?
chris107: (Opa quietly taps and checks away, sitting quietly behind the curtain of no. 5 if nothing is revealed until the incumbent leaves.
Mablir Dorlig: (still think the spurned lover is more likely than the lingerie)
chris107: (Me too but best to check while we're here)
Goonergeezer: garrick gives belfry 1 gold piece " now lets start again shall we?
chris107: (Nothing to come back for then)
Goonergeezer: do you remmeber miss markle on that day?#
Smon: Belfry: "I just guard this place, I..." Garrick hands over the coin. At this point an attractive red-haired woman emerges from the 6th changing cubicle in lacy black lingerie. She calls to the guard: "Please call the salesgirl, I'd like some assistance..." she looks at Garrick, who is standing at the entrance to the lady's changing rooms, and frowns.
Smon: Opa is able to slip into the last room - yes, there around the mirror is the faint outline of a door in the back wall.
Goonergeezer: garrick@ lady i am sorry madam i have been asking belfry here some questions as to the disapearance of miss markle
chris107: she returns to tell her chums off this
Smon: The redhead looks at Garrick. "Excuse me!"
Goonergeezer: garrick looks away
Smon: She blushes slightly - her underwear is quite skimpy. Belfry nods to the woman. "I'll fetch the salesgirl..."
chris107: Opa @ Group - There is a very well concealed secret door in changing room 6. Find out if that was where our missing girl went...
chris107: Or lets slip through
genghisdon: (go in it)
Smon: Opa comes up to Garrick, who is standing beside a redhead lady in lacy black underwear.
chris107: Opa slips back and tries to flit through the secret door.
genghisdon: (morganna regrets not heading back there now)
chris107: While all are distracted
genghisdon: (i can't belive it BTW)
Smon: GM: Only Garrick is in sight, Opa. Duvader is probably nearby though.
genghisdon: (prob an old man wanking it behind there)
chris107: (It was another Carry On Film that gave me the idea - Carry On Screaming)
Smon:
Goonergeezer: (thats my fave carry on film
chris107: ((Even if it is Don, that will be useful information to maybe use when talking to the Striker twins, they'll want to know about it surely?)
Smon: GM: Is Garrick following Opa?
genghisdon: can he?
Goonergeezer: wheer has belfry gone?
Smon: Physically, yes.
genghisdon: (sure, go Opa)
chris107: (9Brave 15HP Opa!))
Mablir Dorlig: (unless the twins are behind there looking on)
Smon: Belfry is going over to the young salesgirl you first met.
chris107:
Eliana Has entered the room
chris107: Opa's slipping through regardless
Goonergeezer: garrick willl quickly follow ope while belfry is distracted
genghisdon: (15 hp more than salesgirls & belry's)
Smon: GM; As far as I can tell Opa just told Garrick about the secret door in front of the redhead woman?
chris107: ((Opa feels quite fierce, grrrrr!)
genghisdon: lol...what does she think about the secret door? LOL
Smon: GM: Opa goes back to the changing room - the redhead woman's clothes are in there. "Hey!" she yells as she sees Garrick go in there too.
chris107: @ GM - That wasn't the intention but I'll go with your call Simon
genghisdon: @ DM if Morganna notices a commotion she goes to check it out
Smon: OOC; You said 'to group' but the group wasn't together & there were NPCs around, let's let it stand
Mablir Dorlig: @ DM wasn't Corak there with Garrick (I did speak to Belfry)
chris107: No problem
genghisdon: (tell the woman about the S door, what can it hurt now?)
Smon: GM: Opa gets the secret door open, it rotates with a creak, revealing a narrow unlit tunnel. To the left it ends in a door. To the right steps lead down.
chris107: (I agree)
Smon: GM: OK Corak follows Garrick?
Goonergeezer: garrick@ opa let get the others and come back
chris107: (Opa feels quite giddy)
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader @ woman Stop yelling, there are no nude women in there, are there?
Smon: GM: Did Morgana go outside?
genghisdon: (at mention of nude women, Morganna's hawk/elf eyes look for her)
Mablir Dorlig: Defo - Corak regards Garrick as his best friend
chris107: Opa @ Garrick - You get them deary, I'll just quietly scout the start...
genghisdon: sure, was what i said
Smon: Morgana is unaware of events inside then.
Goonergeezer: corak with me you get the others i'll get belfry
genghisdon: (curses!)
Goonergeezer: garrick exits and makes his way towards belfry
chris107: (Opa's really quite bright brain thinks she should wait for Duv to check for traps)
genghisdon: (so wait, cause an uproar if need be, what are u guys worried about?)
chris107: Opa goes a few feet in and waits for her infravision to 'tune in'
genghisdon: (if we can handle bandits, we can handle haberdashers)
Smon: GM: Belfry returns with the salesgirl, the redhead is standing there, they all look at your group in the changing room & corridor. Redhead: "Get out of there! That's my changing room!"
chris107: Looking for any heat sources, like very recent departing foot prints...
Mablir Dorlig: Corak goes and rounds up the others
chris107: (Ha Ha!)
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader @Redhead did you pay for it?
Smon: Redhead looks at Duvader: "My clothes are in there!"
Kjato Ragfoot: Not to mention, we do not need your room, only the secret door behind.
Goonergeezer: garrick: madam could you please get the city guard, this man here needs to be taken into custody for further questioning
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader That problem can be easily solved.
genghisdon: (let her get dressed first?)
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader goes into the room and hand the clothes over to the redhead.
chris107: brb - another glass seems to have evaporated. Must be the heat from the fire
Smon: The salesgirl looks at Duvader: "What?!" Behind her you see Belfry take a step back, then turn and run!
Goonergeezer: garrick runs for him trying to overbear him
genghisdon: aha! come to me, wretched man!
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader @ Morganna Catch Belfry!
Goonergeezer: garrick shouting" stop that man
genghisdon: elf ears pick that up simon?
Mablir Dorlig: How far away is Corak? Command "Halt"

genghisdon: (u might even demand it)
Goonergeezer: garrick: it is of the utmost importance
genghisdon: (is lightning on him?)
chris107: ((OOC chances are he's in on ehatever this is))

chris107: Yeah, go greased lightning!
genghisdon: (ARAGH)
genghisdon: I'm going to the sewers, we gotta split up
genghisdon: "show me lightning"
Smon: GM: Opa in the tunnel finds that the door to the left opens into the security room, which has a desk and chairs, a window & doors to the main hall. The stairs to the right lead down into darkness.
chris107: Opa @ Duv - Stairs it is then?
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader Nods

chris107: Unbelievable dice
Smon: Corak are you going down blind then?
genghisdon: i can't believe even 0 level guys laugh at us
Mablir Dorlig: sure
genghisdon: (take a torch from morganna)
Smon: GM: Morganna is not there!!!
Goonergeezer: garrick: where are my friends? (loudly)
genghisdon: (subdue them ALL)

Mablir Dorlig rolls 1d20 and gets:13,
Kjato Ragfoot: Puh. Finally.
Smon: Corak begins descending the steps.
chris107: Opa @ Duv, flee my friend, save yourself. I'll guard your back!

Smon: The blades sink deep, and finally the dog goes down!
Smon: EXACTLY enough damage!
chris107: Phew!
genghisdon: huzza
chris107: We made a meal of that!
Smon: Corak stumbles in blind to a chamber that smells of blood..
Smon: Garrick, the redhead shrieks as you dash past her into the unlit tunnel. Do you have a light source?
Mablir Dorlig: what can I hear or see (even outlines)
Smon: It's pitch black.
Goonergeezer: i take a torch from my backpack and light it with my tinderbox
chris107: (Thirsty work this dog slaying, brb)
Mablir Dorlig: Corak shouts "Duvader, Opa help is here guide me"
Smon: Duv and Opa, you see the line of 3 cells against the far wall. A large key hangs on the left wall.
Smon: BTW if you have a +1 sword, they shed light...
Smon: not daggers though
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader Ouch. Let's check these cells.
Goonergeezer: in which cae i draw wytchblade
genghisdon: (get your blind cleric)
Smon: GM: Garrick draws the enchanted blade, light shining.
Smon: Duvader and Opa see the naked, hooded form of a large-breasted human female chained to the wall at the back of the middle cell.
chris107: back
Mablir Dorlig: Corak: Duvader you look injured do you need curing?
Smon: Corak sees light behind him, then Garick enters the room.
chris107: Opa rushes to get the key
Smon: A dead wardog lies on the floor.
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader @ Corak. Yes, that would be helpful.
genghisdon: (hurray, u saved victoria!)
chris107: and release the poor girl
Smon: finally
Mablir Dorlig: CLW on Duvader
Mablir Dorlig rolls 1d8 and gets:
2,

Mablir Dorlig: and again
chris107: Opa @ Corak - call upon your gods good priest!
Mablir Dorlig rolls 1d8 and gets:
5,
chris107:
Smon: Opa unlocks the cell door and rushes in. The girl is tightly bound, her face covered.
Smon: Could be a medusa?
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader Thanks Corak.
Mablir Dorlig: (Prob not back to full but thats it for today)
genghisdon: (poor girl)
chris107: OOC - But who planned this foul deed? And was she the first?)
Smon: Opa, you removing the hood?
genghisdon: (doubtful)
genghisdon: (secret rooms & such implies more than causual effort)
Mablir Dorlig: (never got the chance to try and rugby tackle the dog while unable to see)
chris107: Yes, Opa is moved by concern and not on her guard
genghisdon: unless hissing & movement demand she think it is a medusa...
Smon: Duvader is on 11/13. Opa removes the hood, sees Victoria, gagged and terrified looking. She removes the gag and unlocks the girl's chains, then Garrick can drape a cloak around her.
chris107: (She's never even heard of a medusa, a simple forrest girl, our Opa)
genghisdon: which would also be crazy, but I'm 0/2 2 day
Eliana Has exited the room
Kjato Ragfoot: The other cells are empty? Duvader will search them anyway.
Smon: Corak & Duvader, you can see a narrow crevice in the left wall, enough for a man to pass through. It opens into a rough-hewn narrow tunnel sloping down. There is a slight breeze.
Smon: The other cdlls are empty, one shows signs of use, but several weeks ago.
Mablir Dorlig: Who is here at the moment
chris107: Opa comforts the poor child.
genghisdon: everyone but me & flynn
genghisdon: (am i chasing the belfry still?)
Smon: GM: Corak Duvader Garrick Opa. Morgana returns a couple minutes later and can join them as Opa comforts the traumatised Victoria.
Smon: I'll stop shortly.
Mablir Dorlig: Corak @ Garrick (loud enough for rest to hear) do we get Victoria back home or do we take this lead now
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader Let's return Victoria. The labyrinth won't run away.
Smon: OOC: Well done actually, I wasn't sure you'd find her. Lots of false leads.
Goonergeezer: how far away is mr markles house?
genghisdon: "we can do both, yes let's get her home"
chris107: Opa @ Group, this is a scandal. We must return poor Victoria to her loving parents then find out what is going on here!
genghisdon: "agreed"
Smon: About 1/2 mile to the Markle house.
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader The owner will probably be thankful if we investigate the labyrith.
genghisdon: "you think the owner isn't in on it? really?"
chris107: Opa - If he's not involved in the first place
Goonergeezer: garrick at group quickly then i dont want the trail to go cold belfry is going to inform his masters they have been found out
chris107: Opa - How would one build these secret ways without the owners knowledge?
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader If he is, Sir Markle and Sir Hawkes will be able to put up sufficient pressure to let us in.
genghisdon: for far to the Hawkes?
Mablir Dorlig: Corak @ all "lets also get this placed closed until we can ensure that that it is safe for everyone, we have some degree of prestige with the authorities"
Smon: Victoria weeps in Opa's arms.
genghisdon: how far to the Hawkes?
Goonergeezer: garrick: @ grouip whoever is fasteset go to the markle house and get her parents
chris107: Opa speaks gently to the girl.
genghisdon: Morganna is unarmored so she runs off
chris107: reassuring her she's safe now
Smon: GM: The room you're in, the stairs down & the cells, all look like original construction. The crevice in the left wall looks new.
Smon: /roll 1d100+5
Smon rolls 1d100+5 and gets:
61, (+5) = 66
chris107: (OOC As is her jewelry!)
Smon: Opa comforts Victoria. "Water... please...." she says.
chris107: Opa - If Morganna has gone to fetch this childs parents, we should stay here.
chris107: Opa gives her, her water skin
Smon: Morganna, you run out. The floor manager calls out to you: "I'm going to get the Owner!"
Smon: on the shop floor
genghisdon: "you do that, he has much to answer for!"
genghisdon: morganna runs off to the Markles
Smon: Victoria drinks eagerly, water running down her chin and neck.
Smon: Victoria: "They grabbed me... in the changing room..."
chris107: Opa casts a beady adventurers eye over the huge hound - any diamond studded, platinum collars?
genghisdon: lol
Smon: It has an iron-studded leather collar.
chris107: +3?
Smon: LOL
Mablir Dorlig: (may suit Morganna)
genghisdon: (get the back story chris)
chris107: (Ha HA!)
Smon: OK I''ll stop there. You can question Victoria via blog comments if you like.
Smon: LOL @Mablir
genghisdon: (no doggie collars for me, thnx)
Goonergeezer: ok great, tyvm again simon really enjoyed tonight
chris107: Opa - Quietly now child. You are amongst friends and soon to be reunited with your loving parents. Tell us more of your story if you can...
Mablir Dorlig: Cheers Simon - usual high quality
genghisdon: thnx guys
Mablir Dorlig: Nos da pawb
chris107: Yeah, thanks all. Another enjoyable game.
Kjato Ragfoot: Yay, this time with action!
Kjato Ragfoot: Despite staying in the city.
Mablir Dorlig Has exited the room
genghisdon: (i missed, curses)
Eliana Has entered the room
chris107: Some nasty bights there Kjato
chris107: Was a bit worried at one point for you.
genghisdon: it sounded bad when i got back
Kjato Ragfoot: I was too but thought those elevens have to change for a 13 at some point.
Smon: Thanks for the praise I wasn't sure if a mystery investigation would have enough action
chris107: Check out the dice rolls Don
genghisdon: or u get higher level, so 11 hits
genghisdon: i can't, just the last bits
chris107: @Thank you Carry On Screaming
Smon: If you got sidetracked you could easily have spent the session just questioning people.
Smon:
genghisdon: i like the idea simon, though i was totally on a different track
Smon: Carry On films are prob a good way to read my mind.
genghisdon: plus, there can be a whole conspiracy, ect
Smon: Tough for genghis I suspect.
genghisdon: could lead to lots of action, who knows
genghisdon: i was thinking the jewelry/bad side of town
chris107: In which, well to do young ladies were carried off and ended up as show room dummies in high class haberdasshers!
genghisdon: yeah, i dunno Carry on films
Smon: Yeah, you have some leads now, if you wanted to follow them.
Kjato Ragfoot: Never seen a Carry film myself, perhaps should change that.
chris107: They are very English Don...
Smon: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carry_On_Screaming!
chris107: Especially if you're of a certain age
genghisdon: i looked up the one from last game
chris107: By the way Simon I was trying to think of my hobbitt characters name from the first game you DM'd a few years ago. A
chris107: I think he retired unhurt about level 6/7 but have misplaced the character sheet.
Smon: hm, yes - Labyrinth Lord hobbit
Smon: That was about 3 netbooks ago for me
Kjato Ragfoot: Now we solved Victoria's Secret.
chris107: That's the chap. No biggie but I seem to recall liking the name (and the character)
Smon: http://www.dragonsfoot.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=34270
Smon: Should be in that thread chris
chris107: And no doubt her gratful parents will shower us with praise (and jewells?)
chris107: Thanks Simon
genghisdon: yes
Kjato Ragfoot: And they will surely back up Hawkes.
Kjato Ragfoot: Hmm. We should play dynastic marriage and marry Victoria off to some good ally.
chris107: Ah yes Moffet, the famouse Manglemamer. Dragon Hoard Thief
Smon: Who can you marry her to - Flynn?
genghisdon: i still don't think she likes men, and probably less so now
Smon: Maybe Morganna should test that
Smon Has exited the room
chris107: Opa looks a bit miffed at that
chris107: Opa thinks Flynn the only gentleman in the group - if a bit course...
Kjato Ragfoot: No. Somebody who has money, of course, and feels indebted towards ua afterwards.
genghisdon: but an ally we have secured, none the less
chris107: We don't seem to be doing too badly when it comes to endearing ourselves with the great and the good of the city.
genghisdon: so what happened with us chasing the belfry?
genghisdon: he just gave us the slip?
genghisdon: naw, we are awesome at that, and nothing else
chris107: I think he exited by the sewers Don. I thought you were giving chase.
Smon Has entered the room
Kjato Ragfoot: Well, we know what he looks like and will get a wanted poster posted for him and capture him afterwards.
chris107: Good thinking
Kjato Ragfoot: That is called swatting two flys with one hit.
Eliana Has exited the room
genghisdon: simon? what happened in the sewers?
Smon: @genghis - the hawk told you he went into the sewers.
chris107: (Wow just noticed it's nearly 11. How time passes when you're having fun.
Smon: You didn't say you followed him down AFAICR
genghisdon: or when we leave do we go into "cruise" mode?
genghisdon: ok, thought i did, but too late now
chris107: ..... I thought he did....
genghisdon: night chris
Kjato Ragfoot: Ah, he won't get far. Next session, Flynn will be back and then he has not chance to escape.
BobTheOldCrank Has entered the room
genghisdon: sure
Kjato Ragfoot: Flynn is like a bloodhound.
chris107: Not going just yet Don. This bottle seems to be empty but can have a good lay in tomorrow
Smon: I thought you decided to come back again - if not we can do your pursuit of him next time.
genghisdon: heh
BobTheOldCrank: Hello, all!
chris107: Opa @ Duv - Flynn is a gentleman!
Smon: If Morgana wants to chase him in her town dress, on her own, that's fine
genghisdon: hi bob
chris107: Evenin g Bob
genghisdon: Opa is sweet on Flynn!
Kjato Ragfoot: Duv @ Opa A man, perhaps, gentle, not at all.
genghisdon: i WAS thinking it mighta been fatal, but I'll roll it out, if u like Simon
BobTheOldCrank: Good heavens. I appear to have walked into something mysterious.
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader think Flynns is a lunatic.
chris107: Opa @ Duv - He stood by me when all others fled.
Smon: @genghis - did you want to chase Belfry into the sewers?
genghisdon: yep
Smon: Hi Bob, just wrapping up an AD&D game
genghisdon: i figured he'd escape if we waitred
chris107: Just finished session (11?) of Simons game
Kjato Ragfoot: Duv @Opa That is one of the reasons why I consider him a lunatic.
Smon: ok, we'll do that on Thursday - good luck!
BobTheOldCrank: Ah! Then I shall sit over here in the corner and watch attentively.
chris107:
Smon Has entered the room
Smon: Hi Gooner
Goonergeezer: Hiya simon, hows you tonight

Goonergeezer: heya kja
Kjato Ragfoot: Hi Gooner
Smon: Hi Kjato.
Goonergeezer: i had a bad roll got a 3
Smon: Ulrich was going to supply you with coursers (light warhorses) as destriers/heavy warhorses are only really good for battle not travel.
Smon: You can try to explain to him why you need heavy warhorses if you like
Goonergeezer: you mean we cant ride into a cave complex
Smon: Generally, no.
Goonergeezer: light will be fine i just wanted to know what type of lance i shoukld equip
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader prefers iceland ponies. He'd need a ladder to climb a horse.
Smon: Anyway I'm doing it that you can rear the horse so it attacks, or attack yourself, but not both.
Goonergeezer: fair enough
Smon: I might let high level Fighters (7+) use 1 of their atts to have the horse attack & stil get an attack, though.
Goonergeezer: right i let you deal with duvader im gonna make coffeee brb
Smon: ok
Smon: Kjato can you roll Duvader's new hp - roll a d10 or d5
Kjato Ragfoot: OK. Hope for something high!

genghisdon: lets check on Aole & her scrawny mystery man
Smon: More importantly, Corak now has access to 2nd level spells! What is your default spell list Corak?
chris107: Just going to pour a glass (I don't share Opa's aversion) Then I'm ready to face anything
Goonergeezer: right has ulrich given us hector markles adrress?
genghisdon: (opa has it)
Kjato Ragfoot: Yes. Scrawny Mystery Man.
Eliana Has entered the room
genghisdon: then kidnapped victoira (secrets?)

Eliana slides in while nobody is looking .... Dooo!
Goonergeezer: lets get straight around to markle residence and start asking questions one of us go and se aole#
genghisdon: detect evil, detect magic & know alignment or augary might be good for city adventuring
Goonergeezer: the females of the group stay with us , the twins will be more likely to speak to another female
Kjato Ragfoot: Good idea.
Mablir Dorlig: DM: Corak needs to go and call in on the inn keep/Lycanthrope at some point today
genghisdon: being as in game terms we gain nothing splitting up, i say we stick together (gamism)
Mablir Dorlig: (ism, ism, ism...)
Smon:
Goonergeezer: yea but this jkidnapping could be time sesititve and it only takes one to check aole if any thing is wrong they can come aND GET US SO WE CALL ALL SORT IT OUT
Goonergeezer: sory xcaps
chris107: Opa seems to remember Morganna checked on the werewolf earlier...
genghisdon: no worries. lets go
genghisdon: Morg "Stanley is doing ok, and so is his family, though they are worried, the poor dears"
Goonergeezer: who is gonna check o aole?
Goonergeezer: not flynn
Smon: GM: It is currently evening, you've been training all day, or in Morganna's case walking back from Hawfair Green. Are you going tonight, or tomorrow morning?
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader: I will. Would be good if some of you magic-users would come along.
Mablir Dorlig: Corak made a promie to do it daily though
Goonergeezer: we should see the family as soon as posss so i say tonight
genghisdon: Morg "Duvader, though i'd like his take on the kidnapping too...lets all go to the mansion"
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader would vote tomorrow morning. Aole can wait that long.
Smon: GM: We can say Corak has checked in with Stanley the past few days, since the priests allowed access - he was training nearby anyway.
Smon: Stanley is pale but composed.
Mablir Dorlig: Corak thinks it better to visit the werelandlord and spend some time praying
Kjato Ragfoot: OK. In that case, I will follow, as long as we check on Aole tomorrow.
genghisdon: "sounds good to me"
chris107: (werelandlord - I like that one )
Smon: GM: Ok, so Corak is visiting Stanley, the rest of you go to visit the Markles.
Mablir Dorlig: Need to check if he's been cured yet, if not prayers will be asking priests why not
Mablir Dorlig: OOC: (I'm not a fan of the Hawkes so, ipso facto, not of their friends either)
chris107: Sorry guys a log on my fire has just spit a big burning bit out
chris107: brb
genghisdon: aren't we gonna call oursellves "hawke's avengers" or something?
Kjato Ragfoot: Fellowship of the Hawkes?
genghisdon: i guess "those nice adventurers" will do
Goonergeezer: Hawke's Hawks
Eliana Has exited the room
chris107: (The ShiteHawkes?)
genghisdon: heh
genghisdon: (winner!)
Mablir Dorlig: (defo winner!!)
Smon: GM: You all leave th Green Dragon, heading across Gatehouse Plaza at the Rivergate. At Guild St Corak bids goodnight to the others and heads south to the Grand Temple to pray with Stanley. The rest of you can continue down Wall Avenue until you reach College St just north of the Citadel, and the Markle mansion.
genghisdon: (but he is lightning now...)
genghisdon: "come with us Corak, this girl needs succor!"
chris107: ((Couldn't find the big burny bit at first but could smell it, it had landed on a jumper in a nearby chair and singed it quite badly
)Smon: The student dormitories are close by, just east of West Way, on Students Alley.
Smon: (bad luck chris)
genghisdon: (sorry to hear it chris...bad fire!)
chris107: ((What kind of idiot has a log fire these days anyway?)
Smon: The mansion is a gothic-style 2 story residence in its own grounds.
chris107: Opa @ Group - That Mr. Hawkes chap told Hector we could help...
Mablir Dorlig: Corak @ Morganna "I have pledged myself to keep Stanley under my eye, alas I must spend an hour with him - mayhap I will meet you later"
Smon: Above the entrance is the coat of arms Opa saw, an open book with 'Mark Words of Wisdom'.
genghisdon: @ Corak "ok then, say hi to Stanley for me"
chris107: Opa @ Group - Maybe he's expecting us?
Smon: As you approach, two armoured guardsmen are just about to close the front gates for the night.
genghisdon: i knock on the door
genghisdon: oops
Mablir Dorlig: Corak @ group "I shall pass on greetings to Stanley from you all"
Goonergeezer: garrrick: hold there we have business with your master
genghisdon: "hello there, we are here to investigate victoria's dissapearance"
chris107: @Hello' and waves
Smon: The guards stop, noting Garrick's Hawkes tabard. "Ho there. You're Sir Ulrich's men, right? You wish to see Mr Markle?"
genghisdon: "yes, we would"
Goonergeezer: garrick@ guard " we do and his daughters too"
Goonergeezer: garrick@ guard " are they in this night?"
Smon: The guards nod and escort you to the door, pulling the bell rope. A sombrely dressed usher opens the door. "Good evening, gentlemen."
chris107: Opa waves from the back
genghisdon: "good evening"
Smon: /roll 1d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets:

Goonergeezer: OOc sorry brian not working at all there
genghisdon: "before you go guards, could either of you shed any light on Victoria's nature?"
chris107: (Any thing in a skirt seems to interst Garrick -Thinks Opa silently)
chris107:

Smon: The guards don't reply to Garrick.
Smon: (or Morganna)

Smon rolls 1d6 and gets:
5,Smon: Usher: "The President is home, as is Madam Markle. Shall I announce you?"
genghisdon: "please do"
Smon: The usher leaves you for a short while. When he returns, a well-dressed middle-aged couple are with him, the man is slight of build, balding and wears spectacles. The woman is plumper and has clearly been crying a lot.
genghisdon: "greetings and condolences"
Mablir Dorlig: (OOC: I'll prob join party shortly but need to eat, I'll keep an eye in case things blow up)
chris107: Opa looks with concern at the poor woman and offers condolences.
Smon: "Good evening" says the man. "I'm Markle, College President. You must be the Hawkes men."
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader My Sorries.
Smon: Mrs Markle sniffles.
genghisdon: "and Women, yea"
Smon: Hektor nods to Morganna: "And women. My apologies, of course." He sighs sadly.
chris107: Opa instinctively comforts the lady (having only recently lost her own family)
Smon: "I just don't understand it..."
genghisdon: "we have heard your daughter Victoria has been missing for 9 days now...I know it is hard, but can you go over the last few days she was here?"
Eliana Has entered the room
Smon: Hektor: "Everything was completely normal. I mean, we don't see that much of her. She's always out shopping, or with her friends, or both..."
Smon: "...She has very expensive tastes."
genghisdon: "could you prepare a list of the shops she frequents, of her friend's & their addresses?"
Smon: Mrs Markle nods in agreement.
Smon: Hektor shrugs. "I don't pay so much attention to fashion. Her best friends are Oswald Striker's girls, Annabel and Ivy."
genghisdon: "is it possible their was a man, a new one perhaps, in her life?"
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader We should speak with her friends, then.
Smon: Mrs Striker: "She always went to the Haberdasher... Albert Rasch. Only the finest for Victoria. She loves her lingeries..."
chris107: ((OOC - Did you win the PHB by the way Simon?))
genghisdon: "thank you"
Smon: (yup)
chris107:
genghisdon: "was there anything unusual in YOUR lives recently? an enemy made, or something like that?"
genghisdon: "servant dismiised, anything?"
chris107: (9Lusty human fighters sniffing about thinks Opa silently
)Smon: Morgana: "is it possible their was a man, a new one perhaps, in her life?" Hektor & Madam Markle both shake their heads. "She didn't say anything. But she never tells us anything..."
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader Is there is servant who has her confidence?
genghisdon: "an old nanny or the like?"
Smon: Hektor: "An enemy? I don't think so... I mean, Yggsburgh has many enemies. Talworth is always plotting against us, especially, and sending slavers...." Mrs Markle sobs.
genghisdon: "no, i meant specific to yourselves"
chris107: Opa quietly to Madam Markle @Where was she heading the last time you saw her?
Smon: Hektor: "Personal enemies? I can't think of any... her nanny died three years ago. "
genghisdon: "no younger servant she liked?"
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader Does she has a ... maid? or what is this servant for females called?
genghisdon: (maid sounds good to me)
Smon: Opa has her arm round Madam Markle's shoulder, comforting the tearful lady. Madam Markle: "I think it was the day before she vanished... She said something about getting a new hat, and clothes... underwear, stockings."
Goonergeezer: garrick: would it be ok if i searched her room to see if i can find anyrthing useful?
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader No.
genghisdon: (well, unless anyone wants to round up their servants & chat them all up, lets go to the haberdasher's)
Goonergeezer: garrick: perhaps a diary or somehting
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader If there is someone searching, it will be one of the females.
Smon: Madam Markle: "There's just the upstairs maid, and Doreen my lady in waiting. But she's more an old friend of mine than a servant."
chris107: Opa makes reassuring comments and promises most faithfully to do everything in her power to find the missing girl.
Smon: GM: The Haberdasher will be closed by now.
genghisdon: "we all will do our best, madam. May Opa & I searxh her room for clues?"
Goonergeezer: garrick@ i have no problem with that, Mr markle would it be alright if one of the females here searched your daughters room?
Smon: Hektor nods. "Yes... I suppose so."
Smon: "The Usher can escort you."
genghisdon: "thank you, could your maid show the way?"
genghisdon: "ok"
chris107: Opa goes with Morganna to look for clues
Goonergeezer: garrick: you two go and search we will go and see mr rasch, Mr Markle would you know his home address?
Smon: GM: The usher escorts Morganna & Opa upstairs.
Smon: Markle @Garrick: "The Haberdasher? No, I don't know his address."
genghisdon: (the strikers)
genghisdon: (but wait for us)
Goonergeezer: garrick@ markle my apologies i thought that considering your position in the bank you might know his address, being that he is the most expensive outfitter in town
Smon: GM: The usher opens a door off the landing and leads the two elf-maids into a very feminine room, a large 4-poster bed in the middle.
Smon: There are many chests of draws and closets.
Eliana Has exited the room
Mablir Dorlig: (Haberdasher??)
genghisdon: (and you give him obscene amounts of $)
genghisdon: "thank you sir"
chris107: Opa scratches her head trying to think back the hundred or so years since she was young and remember where she would hide things
genghisdon: Morganna flops on the bed...checks under pillows, ect
Smon: There is a portrait depicting an elegant, attractive young woman with immaculately coiffed brown hair, wearing long white gloves, a cream silk dress, and much expensive jewelry.
genghisdon: "that's good to know, what she looks like"
chris107: Opa checks the frame and back of the pic
Smon: Markle looks at Garrick. "I am the President of the College. Oswald Striker is Bank President. I do not concern myself with Haberdashers." He sounds offended.
genghisdon: "well pretty victoria, lets see what we can learn..."
chris107: Opa @ Morganna (maybe a bit bitchily) She's not that pretty.
genghisdon: I'll do a "super elf" quick search, then move onto cheacking all the boxes, ect
Goonergeezer: ooc sorry i am getting everything mixed up tonight
genghisdon: Morganna looks again..."yes, she is pretty"
Smon: Morgana spots a diary on a bedside table.
genghisdon: "not as pretty as you Opa dear"
Smon: OOC: You better take some notes, you don't want to screw up IC.
chris107: Opa @ Morganna
genghisdon: i open the diary near the back
chris107: (Does the diary have a dust jacket or loose cover?)
genghisdon: and work backward till it starts
chris107: (Or a spine that could hold rolled up sheets?)
genghisdon: (clever Opa)
chris107: (Opa's not as daft as she looks, highly intelligent in fact
)Smon: Morgana reads the final entry: "19th Forunth. Such a bore today! Sir Hawkes was visiting daddy again, and he is so terribly common! Daddy says he wants to be on the Council. Oh well. Tomorrow shopping, then late luncheon with the Striker girls. I need new underwear, and a hat that'll impress them..."
genghisdon: the entry before that?
chris107: Opa continues looking in all the nooks and crannies, atop the four poster etc for anything that looks 'hidden' or out of place.
Kjato Ragfoot: ((Why the hell does she need new underwear if she is to visit some friends?))
Smon: GM: There's a lot of stuff about parties, and shopping. Some idle gossip, mostly about various young women in her social set.
genghisdon: (that fits all the description we have so far)
genghisdon: i give the book to Opa to check for secrets
genghisdon: then start looking through the boxes & chests
chris107: Opa also checks the various perfume bottles (just in case a familiar smell can be detected later on)
Smon: Judging by the contents of the chests of drawers, Victoria already had a lot of lacy underwear. The bras/halters look very large to Opa's eye. There are also a lot of hats in a wardrobe, and numerous dresses.
genghisdon: (she is "driends" just like Morganna is)
Mablir Dorlig: (depends on the underwear and the friends
)genghisdon: good idea on perfume, Morganna sniffs it too
chris107: Opa looks sourly at the large bras
genghisdon: "humans...what can they do, they are cow like"
Goonergeezer: garrick: right come on while they are upstairs let go to the haberdashers
Mablir Dorlig: (never mind the quality, feel the cup size)
chris107: Then down at her own non-existant 4 stone chest
genghisdon: "but fun"
Smon: The diary mentions a brief affair with a handsome young Captain of the guards about 3 months ago, Cpt Mosely Montjoy, she seems to have dumped him for being 'bucolic'.
genghisdon: (he is closed gooner)
genghisdon: excellent
genghisdon: I'll bring down the portrait & diary
chris107: Opa @ Morganna - That's worth following up
Goonergeezer: he might live above the shop or he might be working late of someones clothes
Smon: That's all in the diary - it starts M1 96 YY
genghisdon: so there should be other diaries around?
chris107: Opa @ morganna - I wonder if the family met this 'Montjoy' chap?
genghisdon: anyway, I want to let the others see what she looks like before they run off
genghisdon: "lets go find out "
Mablir Dorlig: Corak will now head towards the rest, hopefully being able to enter by saying he is a friend of Garrick's
chris107: Opa has one last look round for loose floor boards or secret compartments that her quick elven eyes may detect.
genghisdon: i bring the portrait & diary down to the others
genghisdon: "we can come back Opa"
Smon: /roll 1d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets:
3,chris107: 1-3 Concealed
chris107: 1-2 secret
genghisdon: heh
Smon: GM: There's a jewelry chest under the bedside table, and you find a key under the pillow.
chris107: Opa investigates
genghisdon: i put my hand ubder there!
Smon: (You've smelt the perfume BTW, very nice)
Smon: GM: You open the chest with the key?
chris107: Yes
Smon: The chest clicks open. Inside is a lot of jewelry - diamond and pearl, mostly. Necklaces, tiaras, pendants, ear-rings... Must be hundreds of gold worth.
Smon: Maybe over a thousand.
genghisdon: (who is their jeweler?)
Smon: (you didn't ask)
chris107: (Opa admires the lovely jewelry)
genghisdon: (i will)
chris107: And sorts through to make sure there are no false panals within
genghisdon: i head downstair while opa oggles
Smon: You leave the jewelry & the diary and take the portrait downstairs?
genghisdon: i take the diary too, in my pouch
Smon: /roll 1d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets:
4,Smon: No false bottom. You do spot a chest under the bed - opening it reveals a stack of diaries going back 13 years, it looks like.
chris107: ((OOC I'm finding it very difficult hot to pocket the lot and am trying to think what OPa would do))
Smon:
genghisdon: (heh, made u a dilemma)
Kjato Ragfoot: ((Well, ask a specialist if you need advise
))genghisdon: chaotic GOOD
Mablir Dorlig: (13 diaries would probably weigh more than Opa)
chris107:
Thousands of GPgenghisdon: (u a fighter, not a thief!)
chris107: (In easily concealed jewelrt!)
Kjato Ragfoot: ((Duvader = Fighter + Thief))
genghisdon: (steal it then)
chris107: Opa likes jewelry (and animals)
genghisdon: lol
Eliana Has entered the room
Smon: Morgana goes downstairs with the current diary and the portrait, which is quite large. Garick & Duvader see the portrait of an elegant, glamorous young woman of about 25, with an hourglass figure, rather large breasts, and a somewhat self-satisfied expression.n
genghisdon: "take a good look lads, we need to find her"
Smon: Markle: "That's Victoria. She had that done two years ago."
genghisdon: "how old is this portrait?"
genghisdon: "thanks sir"
chris107: Opa sighs and locks the jewelry box. Putting the key back where she found it.
Smon: Markle: "She's quite tall - 5'7" I think..."
genghisdon: "a lovely young woman of impecable breeding"
genghisdon: "any other physical characteristics that might aid us?"
Smon: Madam Markle: "Well, she has a freckle on her left hip... "
Smon: Madam Markle weeps. "Oh, I do hope she's alright! If anything has happened, I'll never forgive myself!"
genghisdon: "ok...well then, could you tell us what jeweler's shops she frequented?"
genghisdon: "for what dear lady?"
Smon: The couple look at each other.
Smon: "For letting her go out unaccompanied! The streets aren't safe these days, even within the walls!"
chris107: Opa says to madam Markle - You should move your daughters jewelry to a safer place. it's under the bed - the keys under the pillow. best to keep it safe for her return.
genghisdon: "well, it shall become safe again soon, i promise"
genghisdon: (i don't think they know of it)
Smon: Madam Markle nods to Opa. "Thank you, dear."
chris107: (dont want any light fingered servants making off with it and us getting the blame)
genghisdon: "jeweler's? any specific shops the family dealt with?"
Smon: Madam Markle: "She said Zolan's Emporium in the Outs had the best jewelry, but she knew not to go to the Outs unaccompanied."
genghisdon: "maybe not"
chris107: Opa asks Madam Markle about the bucolic Captain Mosely
Smon: Madam Markle: "Mosely? Mosely Montjoy, Sir Reynard's son? He's a lovely boy."
Smon: "He danced with Victoria at the New Year's Ball at the Citadel. They made a lovely couple."
genghisdon: "did you know your daughter was interested in him for a time?"
genghisdon: ok, u did
genghisdon: I'll take the poirtrait back upstairs
chris107: Opa been unused to the ways of the world has a some what jaundiced view of romance - only ever having seen her friends rather 'forward' tactics...
Smon: Madam Markle nods. "But she hardly tells us anything! If I ask when she's getting married, she just laughs at me!"
genghisdon: (she is a lez)
Mablir Dorlig: (Morganna bait)
genghisdon: (yep)
chris107: (Opa wonders if he told his chums that he'd deflowered her)
genghisdon: once upstairs, i do a search for sec doors, pannels ect
Smon: GM: The diary seemed to indicate that Victoria found Captain Montjoy too staid & boring.
genghisdon: i gathered
chris107: (She's still not sure what 'deflowered' actually means)
Smon: GM: Moving forward, you find no secret doors etc and eventually the usher escorts you all out, it's now after 9pm, Corak is waiting outside.
genghisdon: before i go, i get the diary BEFORE this one
Smon: ok
Kjato Ragfoot: ((Opa: He who asks might get answers. He who not asks, will less likely get answers))
Smon: That's Yggs Year 95.
Goonergeezer: garrick to the striker residence
genghisdon: I'll tell them I'm taking them, to read for clues
genghisdon: what is this year?
genghisdon: 96?
Smon: Hektor nods to Morganna. "If you need them, I suppose."
Smon: It's YY 96
chris107: ((Opa thinks it best not to ask and is happy in the thought that whatever it is it probably involves forest gladed and those pretty little purple flowers....)
genghisdon: "i do not know if they will prove useful or not"
Smon: GM: You guys better be quick if you want a fight today
genghisdon: "but i shall return them"
genghisdon: give us streeet thugs
Eliana Has exited the room
genghisdon: brb
Mablir Dorlig: (Don't forget Corak heading back to group)
chris107: me too brb, this glass seems to be empty
Smon: GM: Moving forward, you find no secret doors etc and eventually the usher escorts you all out, it's now after 9pm, Corak is waiting outside.
Goonergeezer: garrick@ ok we got some leads let rest up tonight and visit ablers rasher, this jeweler and zoltan on the morning
Smon: GM: Are you retiring now for an early start, or going somewhere tonight?
Kjato Ragfoot: Retire.
chris107: Retire
Mablir Dorlig: Corak (assuming i've been filled in) would ie worth looking for montejoy(sp?)
chris107: (To dream of easy loot lost by staying in character
)Smon: GM: OK, you can return north to the Hawkes estate, Corak to the Inn.
Smon: Next morning you can assemble early at the Green Dragon.
Smon: You're going to the Haberdasher first?
Mablir Dorlig: (or the ligerie shop)
Goonergeezer: yes and then onto zolans emporium
Kjato Ragfoot: Zolan first.
chris107: Opa @ Group - We need to speak with Captain Montjoy, The Striker twins and visit the shops...
Smon: Haberdasher sells lingerie, it's a big 'department store' complex
genghisdon: wtf? retire?
chris107: lets split up and cover the ground more quickly
Eliana Has entered the room
genghisdon: i think the twins will point us to the shop, but someone pick
chris107: Opa - vote for splitting/staying together?
Goonergeezer: haberdashers, quick visit see igf he remembers her being here on the 20th
Smon: (usually best to stay together to avoid repetition etc)
chris107: Okay
genghisdon: does it help, we still only type as fast
genghisdon: i know we'dd split IRL, but it's a gameism
Smon: (your choice)
genghisdon: stay together
Mablir Dorlig: Corak would prefer sticking together he finds it very difficult to talk with strangers
Goonergeezer: quick then all to albert rashe haberdashers
chris107: Opa's happy to tag along
genghisdon: ok
Smon: GM: Shortly after the great store has opened that morning, you arrive outside Albert Rasch, Haberdasher, the premier supplier of fashionable clothing - and lingerie, and hats - in all Yggsburgh.
genghisdon: take the lead someone...bad cop if u please
Smon: You've been here before, several have bought outfits here, Garrick took a bath in a bathhouse just south of here.
chris107: Opa ogles at such a fine array of lovely things
Goonergeezer: staright in and ask the first person inside the shop serving to speak with mr rasche
chris107: Not poor Opa
)genghisdon: (yes, bought the dress & jewelry I'm wearing)
genghisdon: (thnx flynn & Duvader!)
Smon: The ground floor has the main front show rooms with many lovely things for Opa to ogle, plus coffee and tea bar.
chris107: Opa thinks to herself - few things could be as pretty as my fine elven mail though...
genghisdon: Morganna oggles the nice pretties too
Smon: Main showroom has manikins in fancy garments, 2nd showroom has footwear, belts, hats et al. Lingerie is to the rear, near the fitting rooms, a set for each sex.
genghisdon: to the rear I go
Smon: A salesgirl greets you.
Smon: "Good morning, sirs and ladies"
Mablir Dorlig: Corak will just go red in the face and bow his head in prayer - as far as possible he'll follow Garrick
Goonergeezer: garrick: good morning, would it be p[ossible to speak to mr rasch and the staff please?
Smon: The girl shakes her head. "Mr Rasch is not on the floor. Can I assist?"
genghisdon: "greetings, I'm looking to purchase something i saw a friend in, some lovelies Victoria H bought about a week & a half ago"
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader looks interestingly at some gnome women sized lingery. Hmm.
Smon:
Smon: The girl nods to Morgana. "Our lingerie is here... "
Smon: /roll 1d6
chris107:
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets:
5,genghisdon: "obviously she is much more, endowed than I, but do you know what i am looking for?"
Smon: "We can help you get fitted, if you would like to make a selection and..."
Goonergeezer: garrick: we were wondering if you or any of your staff remember the 20th of this month we would like to know if you remember a Miss Victoria markle visiting that day?
genghisdon: "oh, i can't be sure, do you have a sales record you could check for me?"
Smon: The girl looks puzzled at Morgana and shakes her head. "I'm not familiar with... I can ask the floor manager?"
genghisdon: (sorry gooner, we are going loggerheads)
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader We would appreciate that.
genghisdon: "surely"
Smon: "Excuse me." she goes over to the register desk and talks with an older man, who nods and comes over. "Good morning."
chris107: Opa tries to rid herself of the frightening image of Duv in frilly female knickers
Goonergeezer: ooc s'ok don we will confuse her into giving something away lol
genghisdon: go on
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader Good Morning. We would like to know whether Victoria Markle was here 9 days ago.
Smon: "Miss Victoria Markle is a most valued customer, of course..."
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader and whether she was here since.
Goonergeezer: garrick: good morning sir we are conducting and investigation into the disapearance of miss victoria markle, she went missing on the 20th of this month, would you or any of your staff be able to confirm if she visited your shop that day
Smon: He nods, and checks the register. "I don't have any sales to that name. She normally pays by credit, so I don't think she made a purchase that day."
Mablir Dorlig: Corak @ Garrick (whisper) ask if she ever came here with montejoy?
Smon: /roll 1d6
Goonergeezer: garrick: and could you recall if she ever visited the shop with anyone else?
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets:
6,Smon: /roll 1d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets:
6,Smon: The man scratches his cheek. "I'm sorry, I don't recall."
Smon: He pauses. "Do you mean on other occasions? Yes, she was often here with her lady friends."
Eliana Has exited the room
Goonergeezer: garrick: we have no further questions at this time but we may have in the future, might i enquire youor name sir?
genghisdon: "really? she is well known to associate with the striker sisters, are u sure?"
genghisdon: ok
chris107: Opa @ Man - What a shame, it would help us discover her murderer so much easier if you could. You wouldn't want us to suspect you would you?
Smon: He nods. "I'm Gilbert Taylor."
genghisdon: lol
Smon: He looks startled at Opa. "Murderer?! She's been murdered?!"
genghisdon: "is there a salesperson she prefered to use? esp the one that day?"
genghisdon: "shhh..no, but she IS missing"
Goonergeezer: garrick: ok sir thank you very much, we will not take any more of your time
chris107: Opa looks on straight faced and says nothing
Smon: He thinks. "Hattie.... Hattie was on duty that day. I can fetch her."
genghisdon: "thanks you"
chris107: Opa smiles sweetly - It's so good you remember
Smon: Gilbert goes over to the Dresses area, and comes back with a woman of about 35. "Good morning. How can I help?"
genghisdon: morganna looks a t her with elf+hawk vision "yes"
genghisdon: "we are looking into the disapearance of Victoria Markle"
Smon: The woman is of average looks, slightly birdlike, hair pulled back.
Goonergeezer: garrick: hattie is it? hello my name is garrick, i was wondering if you recall seeing miss victoria markle on the 20th of this month
genghisdon: "could you tell us what she did & said the last time you saw her?"
genghisdon: (ixna the dates)
chris107: (Opa thinks - look out Hattie! Garrick will be after deflowering you)
genghisdon: (at 35 she already is, i hope, opa)
Smon: Hattie squints, thinking hard. "mm... Yes, she was here. She wanted new underwear. She..."
chris107: (Opa thinks that perhaps human women don't get much opportunity to visit the forest glades with pretty purple flowers....)
genghisdon: (morganna is here to guide them, luckily)
chris107:
Smon: Hattie's mouth opens. "Oh. You know, I'm not sure. I seem to recall she went into the changing roooms, but then some other customers caught my attention. I don't recall seeing her after that."
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader The changing room?
genghisdon: "are you certain? that's it?"
chris107: Opa slips off to search for secret doors in the changing rooms
Smon: She looks around. "Perhaps the changing room guard could assist you."
Goonergeezer: garrick: and do you remember who these other customers were, did you recognise them?
Smon: "There was Mrs Richardson, she wanted a stole..."
Goonergeezer: garrick: could you please direct us to him?
chris107: Opa taps the walls for hollow sounds etc.
Mablir Dorlig: Corak @ Gilbert & Hattie "If you remember anything else then contact me at the Green Dragon Inn - it would look bad if something came to light that you couldn't remember" Corak bows and adds "my blessing upon you both"
Smon: Opa goes over to the changing rooms, there are two entrances, male and female, each to a row of cubicles, with a private door at the near end to a security room. A single guard in ringmail stands outside, a small club at his belt.
Smon: /roll 1d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets:
2,chris107: Opa smiles winningly at him and enters the female rooms
Smon: Hattie nods to Corak.
Smon: The guard looks at Opa. "What're you trying on?"
Goonergeezer: finishing with hattie garrick heads towards the changing rooms to speak with the guard
chris107: Opa @ Guard 'Nothing you big strong man i'm just witing for my friend Morgana to pick out some thing pretty. I said I'd wait for her in here...
Smon: Guard: "We don't like people going in there to secrete things about their person..."
Smon: Garick approaches the guard. The man looks a bit nervous.
Mablir Dorlig: (I'm sure Morganna would enjoy a changing room encounter)
chris107: Opa - guileslly - you can search me on the way out if you wish
genghisdon: actually she has gotten bored & went outside to wait
Smon: Guard: "Anyway, there's woman getting changed in number six."
Goonergeezer: garrick: good morning sir, to whom am i adressing?
Smon: The guard turns. "Belfry. Who're you?"
genghisdon: (another day for changing room sexcapades!)
chris107: @ Group - Opa would really like to check for secret 'abducting' doors in the changing rooms
genghisdon: (grab some clothes chris)
Goonergeezer: garrick: i am chief inspector Garrick of a private investigation unit, we were wondering if we could ask you a few questions
chris107: @ DM can she stealthily slip past while the guard is distracted?
Smon: Belfry: "You're a Hawkes man, I can see your tabard..."
genghisdon: (if there is a secret door in there i will choke though...maybe a peep slot for a pervy wanker, but i can't see more)
chris107: (I just don't see how taking nothing in is a theft threat)
Mablir Dorlig: Corak approaches guard "my friend we are looking into a disappearance and would appreciate the help of you and your colleagues in this matter"
chris107: (Think slaver conspiricy with top peoples shop)
Smon: Opa slips past the guard. The first five cubicles are empty, #6 has the curtain drawn and Opa can see stockinged feet underneath.
genghisdon: (it's not ringing for me, but I'll admit, tis possible)
chris107: (She's not been seen since entering these changing rooms after all)
Goonergeezer: garrick: you were on duty on the 20th of this month, do you remember a miss victoria maekle comingg in that day
Smon: Belfry shrugs.
Smon: GM: Opa is able to quickly inspect the first 5 cubicles, not detecting anything. Is she waiting for the occupant of the 6th to exit?
Goonergeezer: garrick whispers @ belfry "sir, you do not appreciate the severity of this situation a young lady has been missing for 10 days now and all you can do is shrug?
chris107: (Opa quietly taps and checks away, sitting quietly behind the curtain of no. 5 if nothing is revealed until the incumbent leaves.
Mablir Dorlig: (still think the spurned lover is more likely than the lingerie)
chris107: (Me too but best to check while we're here)
Goonergeezer: garrick gives belfry 1 gold piece " now lets start again shall we?
chris107: (Nothing to come back for then)
Goonergeezer: do you remmeber miss markle on that day?#
Smon: Belfry: "I just guard this place, I..." Garrick hands over the coin. At this point an attractive red-haired woman emerges from the 6th changing cubicle in lacy black lingerie. She calls to the guard: "Please call the salesgirl, I'd like some assistance..." she looks at Garrick, who is standing at the entrance to the lady's changing rooms, and frowns.
Smon: Opa is able to slip into the last room - yes, there around the mirror is the faint outline of a door in the back wall.
Goonergeezer: garrick@ lady i am sorry madam i have been asking belfry here some questions as to the disapearance of miss markle
chris107:
she returns to tell her chums off thisSmon: The redhead looks at Garrick. "Excuse me!"
Goonergeezer: garrick looks away
Smon: She blushes slightly - her underwear is quite skimpy. Belfry nods to the woman. "I'll fetch the salesgirl..."
chris107: Opa @ Group - There is a very well concealed secret door in changing room 6. Find out if that was where our missing girl went...
chris107: Or lets slip through
genghisdon: (go in it)
Smon: Opa comes up to Garrick, who is standing beside a redhead lady in lacy black underwear.
chris107: Opa slips back and tries to flit through the secret door.
genghisdon: (morganna regrets not heading back there now)
chris107: While all are distracted
genghisdon: (i can't belive it BTW)
Smon: GM: Only Garrick is in sight, Opa. Duvader is probably nearby though.
genghisdon: (prob an old man wanking it behind there)
chris107: (It was another Carry On Film that gave me the idea - Carry On Screaming)
Smon:
Goonergeezer: (thats my fave carry on film
chris107: ((Even if it is Don, that will be useful information to maybe use when talking to the Striker twins, they'll want to know about it surely?)
Smon: GM: Is Garrick following Opa?
genghisdon: can he?
Goonergeezer: wheer has belfry gone?
Smon: Physically, yes.
genghisdon: (sure, go Opa)
chris107: (9Brave 15HP Opa!))
Mablir Dorlig: (unless the twins are behind there looking on)
Smon: Belfry is going over to the young salesgirl you first met.
chris107:
Eliana Has entered the room
chris107: Opa's slipping through regardless
Goonergeezer: garrick willl quickly follow ope while belfry is distracted
genghisdon: (15 hp more than salesgirls & belry's)
Smon: GM; As far as I can tell Opa just told Garrick about the secret door in front of the redhead woman?
chris107: ((Opa feels quite fierce, grrrrr!)
genghisdon: lol...what does she think about the secret door? LOL
Smon: GM: Opa goes back to the changing room - the redhead woman's clothes are in there. "Hey!" she yells as she sees Garrick go in there too.
chris107: @ GM - That wasn't the intention but I'll go with your call Simon
genghisdon: @ DM if Morganna notices a commotion she goes to check it out
Smon: OOC; You said 'to group' but the group wasn't together & there were NPCs around, let's let it stand
Mablir Dorlig: @ DM wasn't Corak there with Garrick (I did speak to Belfry)
chris107: No problem
genghisdon: (tell the woman about the S door, what can it hurt now?)
Smon: GM: Opa gets the secret door open, it rotates with a creak, revealing a narrow unlit tunnel. To the left it ends in a door. To the right steps lead down.
chris107: (I agree)
Smon: GM: OK Corak follows Garrick?
Goonergeezer: garrick@ opa let get the others and come back
chris107: (Opa feels quite giddy)
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader @ woman Stop yelling, there are no nude women in there, are there?
Smon: GM: Did Morgana go outside?
genghisdon: (at mention of nude women, Morganna's hawk/elf eyes look for her)
Mablir Dorlig: Defo - Corak regards Garrick as his best friend
chris107: Opa @ Garrick - You get them deary, I'll just quietly scout the start...
genghisdon: sure, was what i said
Smon: Morgana is unaware of events inside then.
Goonergeezer: corak with me you get the others i'll get belfry
genghisdon: (curses!)
Goonergeezer: garrick exits and makes his way towards belfry
chris107: (Opa's really quite bright brain thinks she should wait for Duv to check for traps)
genghisdon: (so wait, cause an uproar if need be, what are u guys worried about?)
chris107: Opa goes a few feet in and waits for her infravision to 'tune in'
genghisdon: (if we can handle bandits, we can handle haberdashers)
Smon: GM: Belfry returns with the salesgirl, the redhead is standing there, they all look at your group in the changing room & corridor. Redhead: "Get out of there! That's my changing room!"
chris107: Looking for any heat sources, like very recent departing foot prints...
Mablir Dorlig: Corak goes and rounds up the others
chris107: (Ha Ha!)
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader @Redhead did you pay for it?
Smon: Redhead looks at Duvader: "My clothes are in there!"
Kjato Ragfoot: Not to mention, we do not need your room, only the secret door behind.
Goonergeezer: garrick: madam could you please get the city guard, this man here needs to be taken into custody for further questioning
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader That problem can be easily solved.
genghisdon: (let her get dressed first?)
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader goes into the room and hand the clothes over to the redhead.
chris107: brb - another glass seems to have evaporated. Must be the heat from the fire
Smon: The salesgirl looks at Duvader: "What?!" Behind her you see Belfry take a step back, then turn and run!
Goonergeezer: garrick runs for him trying to overbear him
genghisdon: aha! come to me, wretched man!
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader @ Morganna Catch Belfry!
Goonergeezer: garrick shouting" stop that man
genghisdon: elf ears pick that up simon?
Mablir Dorlig: How far away is Corak? Command "Halt"

chris107: OOC - But who planned this foul deed? And was she the first?)
Smon: Opa, you removing the hood?
genghisdon: (doubtful)
genghisdon: (secret rooms & such implies more than causual effort)
Mablir Dorlig: (never got the chance to try and rugby tackle the dog while unable to see)
chris107: Yes, Opa is moved by concern and not on her guard
genghisdon: unless hissing & movement demand she think it is a medusa...
Smon: Duvader is on 11/13. Opa removes the hood, sees Victoria, gagged and terrified looking. She removes the gag and unlocks the girl's chains, then Garrick can drape a cloak around her.
chris107: (She's never even heard of a medusa, a simple forrest girl, our Opa)
genghisdon: which would also be crazy, but I'm 0/2 2 day
Eliana Has exited the room
Kjato Ragfoot: The other cells are empty? Duvader will search them anyway.
Smon: Corak & Duvader, you can see a narrow crevice in the left wall, enough for a man to pass through. It opens into a rough-hewn narrow tunnel sloping down. There is a slight breeze.
Smon: The other cdlls are empty, one shows signs of use, but several weeks ago.
Mablir Dorlig: Who is here at the moment
chris107: Opa comforts the poor child.
genghisdon: everyone but me & flynn
genghisdon: (am i chasing the belfry still?)
Smon: GM: Corak Duvader Garrick Opa. Morgana returns a couple minutes later and can join them as Opa comforts the traumatised Victoria.
Smon: I'll stop shortly.
Mablir Dorlig: Corak @ Garrick (loud enough for rest to hear) do we get Victoria back home or do we take this lead now
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader Let's return Victoria. The labyrinth won't run away.
Smon: OOC: Well done actually, I wasn't sure you'd find her. Lots of false leads.
Goonergeezer: how far away is mr markles house?
genghisdon: "we can do both, yes let's get her home"
chris107: Opa @ Group, this is a scandal. We must return poor Victoria to her loving parents then find out what is going on here!
genghisdon: "agreed"
Smon: About 1/2 mile to the Markle house.
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader The owner will probably be thankful if we investigate the labyrith.
genghisdon: "you think the owner isn't in on it? really?"
chris107: Opa - If he's not involved in the first place
Goonergeezer: garrick at group quickly then i dont want the trail to go cold belfry is going to inform his masters they have been found out
chris107: Opa - How would one build these secret ways without the owners knowledge?
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader If he is, Sir Markle and Sir Hawkes will be able to put up sufficient pressure to let us in.
genghisdon: for far to the Hawkes?
Mablir Dorlig: Corak @ all "lets also get this placed closed until we can ensure that that it is safe for everyone, we have some degree of prestige with the authorities"
Smon: Victoria weeps in Opa's arms.
genghisdon: how far to the Hawkes?
Goonergeezer: garrick: @ grouip whoever is fasteset go to the markle house and get her parents
chris107: Opa speaks gently to the girl.
genghisdon: Morganna is unarmored so she runs off
chris107: reassuring her she's safe now

chris107: Opa gives her, her water skin
Smon: Morganna, you run out. The floor manager calls out to you: "I'm going to get the Owner!"
Smon: on the shop floor
genghisdon: "you do that, he has much to answer for!"
genghisdon: morganna runs off to the Markles
Smon: Victoria drinks eagerly, water running down her chin and neck.
Smon: Victoria: "They grabbed me... in the changing room..."
chris107: Opa casts a beady adventurers eye over the huge hound - any diamond studded, platinum collars?
genghisdon: lol
Smon: It has an iron-studded leather collar.

genghisdon: it sounded bad when i got back
Kjato Ragfoot: I was too but thought those elevens have to change for a 13 at some point.
Smon: Thanks for the praise
I wasn't sure if a mystery investigation would have enough actionchris107: Check out the dice rolls Don
genghisdon: or u get higher level, so 11 hits
genghisdon: i can't, just the last bits
chris107: @Thank you Carry On Screaming
Smon: If you got sidetracked you could easily have spent the session just questioning people.
Smon:
genghisdon: i like the idea simon, though i was totally on a different track
Smon: Carry On films are prob a good way to read my mind.
genghisdon: plus, there can be a whole conspiracy, ect
Smon: Tough for genghis I suspect.
genghisdon: could lead to lots of action, who knows
genghisdon: i was thinking the jewelry/bad side of town
chris107: In which, well to do young ladies were carried off and ended up as show room dummies in high class haberdasshers!
genghisdon: yeah, i dunno Carry on films
Smon: Yeah, you have some leads now, if you wanted to follow them.
Kjato Ragfoot: Never seen a Carry film myself, perhaps should change that.
chris107: They are very English Don...
Smon: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carry_On_Screaming!
chris107: Especially if you're of a certain age
genghisdon: i looked up the one from last game
chris107: By the way Simon I was trying to think of my hobbitt characters name from the first game you DM'd a few years ago. A
chris107: I think he retired unhurt about level 6/7 but have misplaced the character sheet.
Smon: hm, yes - Labyrinth Lord hobbit
Smon: That was about 3 netbooks ago for me
Kjato Ragfoot: Now we solved Victoria's Secret.
chris107: That's the chap. No biggie but I seem to recall liking the name (and the character)
Smon: http://www.dragonsfoot.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=34270
Smon: Should be in that thread chris
chris107: And no doubt her gratful parents will shower us with praise (and jewells?)
chris107: Thanks Simon
genghisdon: yes
Kjato Ragfoot: And they will surely back up Hawkes.
Kjato Ragfoot: Hmm. We should play dynastic marriage and marry Victoria off to some good ally.
chris107: Ah yes Moffet, the famouse Manglemamer. Dragon Hoard Thief
Smon: Who can you marry her to - Flynn?
genghisdon: i still don't think she likes men, and probably less so now
Smon: Maybe Morganna should test that
Smon Has exited the room
chris107: Opa looks a bit miffed at that
chris107: Opa thinks Flynn the only gentleman in the group - if a bit course...
Kjato Ragfoot: No. Somebody who has money, of course, and feels indebted towards ua afterwards.
genghisdon: but an ally we have secured, none the less
chris107: We don't seem to be doing too badly when it comes to endearing ourselves with the great and the good of the city.
genghisdon: so what happened with us chasing the belfry?
genghisdon: he just gave us the slip?
genghisdon: naw, we are awesome at that, and nothing else
chris107: I think he exited by the sewers Don. I thought you were giving chase.
Smon Has entered the room
Kjato Ragfoot: Well, we know what he looks like and will get a wanted poster posted for him and capture him afterwards.
chris107: Good thinking
Kjato Ragfoot: That is called swatting two flys with one hit.
Eliana Has exited the room
genghisdon: simon? what happened in the sewers?
Smon: @genghis - the hawk told you he went into the sewers.
chris107: (Wow just noticed it's nearly 11. How time passes when you're having fun.
Smon: You didn't say you followed him down AFAICR
genghisdon: or when we leave do we go into "cruise" mode?
genghisdon: ok, thought i did, but too late now
chris107: ..... I thought he did....
genghisdon: night chris
Kjato Ragfoot: Ah, he won't get far. Next session, Flynn will be back and then he has not chance to escape.
BobTheOldCrank Has entered the room
genghisdon: sure
Kjato Ragfoot: Flynn is like a bloodhound.
chris107: Not going just yet Don. This bottle seems to be empty but can have a good lay in tomorrow
Smon: I thought you decided to come back again - if not we can do your pursuit of him next time.
genghisdon: heh
BobTheOldCrank: Hello, all!
chris107: Opa @ Duv - Flynn is a gentleman!
Smon: If Morgana wants to chase him in her town dress, on her own, that's fine
genghisdon: hi bob
chris107: Evenin g Bob
genghisdon: Opa is sweet on Flynn!
Kjato Ragfoot: Duv @ Opa A man, perhaps, gentle, not at all.
genghisdon: i WAS thinking it mighta been fatal, but I'll roll it out, if u like Simon
BobTheOldCrank: Good heavens. I appear to have walked into something mysterious.
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader think Flynns is a lunatic.
chris107: Opa @ Duv - He stood by me when all others fled.
Smon: @genghis - did you want to chase Belfry into the sewers?
genghisdon: yep
Smon: Hi Bob, just wrapping up an AD&D game
genghisdon: i figured he'd escape if we waitred
chris107: Just finished session (11?) of Simons game
Kjato Ragfoot: Duv @Opa That is one of the reasons why I consider him a lunatic.
Smon: ok, we'll do that on Thursday - good luck!
BobTheOldCrank: Ah! Then I shall sit over here in the corner and watch attentively.
chris107:
Smon: oh well, you rolled high last time
Goonergeezer: so 4 total
Smon: 24 hp?
Goonergeezer: avg 8 per lvl
Goonergeezer: yea
Smon: ok, I have you noted as F3 now, so on the THAC0 18 attack matrix
Goonergeezer: yep
Goonergeezer: will ulrich supply us/me with heavy warhorses?
Kjato Ragfoot Has entered the room
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader wants to level up, too.
Goonergeezer: heya kja
Kjato Ragfoot: Hi Gooner
Smon: Hi Kjato.
Goonergeezer: i had a bad roll got a 3
Smon: Ulrich was going to supply you with coursers (light warhorses) as destriers/heavy warhorses are only really good for battle not travel.
Smon: You can try to explain to him why you need heavy warhorses if you like
Goonergeezer: you mean we cant ride into a cave complex
Smon: Generally, no.
Goonergeezer: light will be fine i just wanted to know what type of lance i shoukld equip
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader prefers iceland ponies. He'd need a ladder to climb a horse.
Smon: Anyway I'm doing it that you can rear the horse so it attacks, or attack yourself, but not both.
Goonergeezer: fair enough
Smon: I might let high level Fighters (7+) use 1 of their atts to have the horse attack & stil get an attack, though.
Goonergeezer: right i let you deal with duvader im gonna make coffeee brb
Smon: ok
Smon: Kjato can you roll Duvader's new hp - roll a d10 or d5
Kjato Ragfoot: OK. Hope for something high!

chris107 Has entered the room
Smon: Hi Chris
chris107: Good evening gents

Smon: Only Opa to roll
Smon: Chris, roll your d10 for Opa lvl 2

Kestrel Has entered the room

Mablir Dorlig: Hi all , happy day for me today
Smon: Hi Mablir -ok that's everyone who's coming
Smon: Why's that M?
chris107: Hi Kestrel
Smon: GM: It's evening on the 29th, I'll say you're all having dinner in the Green Dragon Inn, several of you having just completed your training.
chris107: Opa avoids alcahol like the plague.
Goonergeezer: garrick to
Goonergeezer: o
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader takes what the two leave over.
chris107: She go's a shade of green just watching Duv
Mablir Dorlig: City won (just about) and the town down the raod lost - happy day
Smon: ok
Mablir Dorlig: do i need to roll another hd
chris107: How did Chelsea get on? Been in a face to face game since 9 this morning.
Smon: Morganna has just returned from several days' dalliance with Mara in Hawfair Green.
Smon: @Mab, yes roll d8
Mablir Dorlig: 0-0 I think Chris
Mablir Dorlig rolls 1d8 and gets:3,
chris107: Thanks Mab.
Smon: 16+3=19 hp
genghisdon: we are weak...but that's ok
genghisdon: lets check on Aole & her scrawny mystery man
Smon: More importantly, Corak now has access to 2nd level spells! What is your default spell list Corak?
chris107: Just going to pour a glass (I don't share Opa's aversion) Then I'm ready to face anything
Goonergeezer: right has ulrich given us hector markles adrress?
genghisdon: (opa has it)
Kjato Ragfoot: Yes. Scrawny Mystery Man.
Eliana Has entered the room
genghisdon: then kidnapped victoira (secrets?)
genghisdon: hi eli
Smon: Markle residence is on College St, Opa has been there
chris107: Opa will lead the group to Hector's House (any one remember that from the TV?)
Mablir Dorlig: Think I'll have to go with Hold Person as my L2
Smon: ok
chris107: Hi Eliana
Mablir Dorlig: (Chris I do m
Eliana slides in while nobody is looking .... Dooo!
Goonergeezer: lets get straight around to markle residence and start asking questions one of us go and se aole#
genghisdon: detect evil, detect magic & know alignment or augary might be good for city adventuring
Goonergeezer: the females of the group stay with us , the twins will be more likely to speak to another female
Kjato Ragfoot: Good idea.
Mablir Dorlig: DM: Corak needs to go and call in on the inn keep/Lycanthrope at some point today
genghisdon: being as in game terms we gain nothing splitting up, i say we stick together (gamism)
Mablir Dorlig: (ism, ism, ism...)
Smon:
Goonergeezer: yea but this jkidnapping could be time sesititve and it only takes one to check aole if any thing is wrong they can come aND GET US SO WE CALL ALL SORT IT OUT
Goonergeezer: sory xcaps
chris107: Opa seems to remember Morganna checked on the werewolf earlier...
genghisdon: no worries. lets go
genghisdon: Morg "Stanley is doing ok, and so is his family, though they are worried, the poor dears"
Goonergeezer: who is gonna check o aole?
Goonergeezer: not flynn
Smon: GM: It is currently evening, you've been training all day, or in Morganna's case walking back from Hawfair Green. Are you going tonight, or tomorrow morning?
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader: I will. Would be good if some of you magic-users would come along.
Mablir Dorlig: Corak made a promie to do it daily though
Goonergeezer: we should see the family as soon as posss so i say tonight
genghisdon: Morg "Duvader, though i'd like his take on the kidnapping too...lets all go to the mansion"
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader would vote tomorrow morning. Aole can wait that long.
Smon: GM: We can say Corak has checked in with Stanley the past few days, since the priests allowed access - he was training nearby anyway.
Smon: Stanley is pale but composed.
Mablir Dorlig: Corak thinks it better to visit the werelandlord and spend some time praying
Kjato Ragfoot: OK. In that case, I will follow, as long as we check on Aole tomorrow.
genghisdon: "sounds good to me"
chris107: (werelandlord - I like that one )
Smon: GM: Ok, so Corak is visiting Stanley, the rest of you go to visit the Markles.
Mablir Dorlig: Need to check if he's been cured yet, if not prayers will be asking priests why not
Mablir Dorlig: OOC: (I'm not a fan of the Hawkes so, ipso facto, not of their friends either)
chris107: Sorry guys a log on my fire has just spit a big burning bit out
chris107: brb
genghisdon: aren't we gonna call oursellves "hawke's avengers" or something?
Kjato Ragfoot: Fellowship of the Hawkes?
genghisdon: i guess "those nice adventurers" will do
Goonergeezer: Hawke's Hawks
Eliana Has exited the room
chris107: (The ShiteHawkes?)
genghisdon: heh
genghisdon: (winner!)
Mablir Dorlig: (defo winner!!)
Smon: GM: You all leave th Green Dragon, heading across Gatehouse Plaza at the Rivergate. At Guild St Corak bids goodnight to the others and heads south to the Grand Temple to pray with Stanley. The rest of you can continue down Wall Avenue until you reach College St just north of the Citadel, and the Markle mansion.
genghisdon: (but he is lightning now...)
genghisdon: "come with us Corak, this girl needs succor!"
chris107: ((Couldn't find the big burny bit at first but could smell it, it had landed on a jumper in a nearby chair and singed it quite badly )
Smon: The student dormitories are close by, just east of West Way, on Students Alley.
Smon: (bad luck chris)
genghisdon: (sorry to hear it chris...bad fire!)
chris107: ((What kind of idiot has a log fire these days anyway?)
Smon: The mansion is a gothic-style 2 story residence in its own grounds.
chris107: Opa @ Group - That Mr. Hawkes chap told Hector we could help...
Mablir Dorlig: Corak @ Morganna "I have pledged myself to keep Stanley under my eye, alas I must spend an hour with him - mayhap I will meet you later"
Smon: Above the entrance is the coat of arms Opa saw, an open book with 'Mark Words of Wisdom'.
genghisdon: @ Corak "ok then, say hi to Stanley for me"
chris107: Opa @ Group - Maybe he's expecting us?
Smon: As you approach, two armoured guardsmen are just about to close the front gates for the night.
genghisdon: i knock on the door
genghisdon: oops
Mablir Dorlig: Corak @ group "I shall pass on greetings to Stanley from you all"
Goonergeezer: garrrick: hold there we have business with your master
genghisdon: "hello there, we are here to investigate victoria's dissapearance"
chris107: @Hello' and waves
Smon: The guards stop, noting Garrick's Hawkes tabard. "Ho there. You're Sir Ulrich's men, right? You wish to see Mr Markle?"
genghisdon: "yes, we would"
Goonergeezer: garrick@ guard " we do and his daughters too"
Goonergeezer: garrick@ guard " are they in this night?"
Smon: The guards nod and escort you to the door, pulling the bell rope. A sombrely dressed usher opens the door. "Good evening, gentlemen."
chris107: Opa waves from the back
genghisdon: "good evening"
Smon: /roll 1d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets:2,
Smon: You explain yourselves again, the usher escorts you to a waiting room.
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader bows.
genghisdon: (daughters are another house hold gooner)
Smon: Usher: "Mr Markle has one daughter, Victoria. She is missing."
Goonergeezer: OOc sorry brian not working at all there
genghisdon: "before you go guards, could either of you shed any light on Victoria's nature?"
chris107: (Any thing in a skirt seems to interst Garrick -Thinks Opa silently)
chris107:
genghisdon: (poor maligned GaRRICK)
Smon: The guards don't reply to Garrick.
Smon: (or Morganna)
genghisdon: or me?
genghisdon: hmm
Smon: /roll 1d6
chris107: (You beat me to it!)
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets:5,
Smon: Usher: "The President is home, as is Madam Markle. Shall I announce you?"
genghisdon: "please do"
Smon: The usher leaves you for a short while. When he returns, a well-dressed middle-aged couple are with him, the man is slight of build, balding and wears spectacles. The woman is plumper and has clearly been crying a lot.
genghisdon: "greetings and condolences"
Mablir Dorlig: (OOC: I'll prob join party shortly but need to eat, I'll keep an eye in case things blow up)
chris107: Opa looks with concern at the poor woman and offers condolences.
Smon: "Good evening" says the man. "I'm Markle, College President. You must be the Hawkes men."
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader My Sorries.
Smon: Mrs Markle sniffles.
genghisdon: "and Women, yea"
Smon: Hektor nods to Morganna: "And women. My apologies, of course." He sighs sadly.
chris107: Opa instinctively comforts the lady (having only recently lost her own family)
Smon: "I just don't understand it..."
genghisdon: "we have heard your daughter Victoria has been missing for 9 days now...I know it is hard, but can you go over the last few days she was here?"
Eliana Has entered the room
Smon: Hektor: "Everything was completely normal. I mean, we don't see that much of her. She's always out shopping, or with her friends, or both..."
Smon: "...She has very expensive tastes."
genghisdon: "could you prepare a list of the shops she frequents, of her friend's & their addresses?"
Smon: Mrs Markle nods in agreement.
Smon: Hektor shrugs. "I don't pay so much attention to fashion. Her best friends are Oswald Striker's girls, Annabel and Ivy."
genghisdon: "is it possible their was a man, a new one perhaps, in her life?"
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader We should speak with her friends, then.
Smon: Mrs Striker: "She always went to the Haberdasher... Albert Rasch. Only the finest for Victoria. She loves her lingeries..."
chris107: ((OOC - Did you win the PHB by the way Simon?))
genghisdon: "thank you"
Smon: (yup)
chris107:
genghisdon: "was there anything unusual in YOUR lives recently? an enemy made, or something like that?"
genghisdon: "servant dismiised, anything?"
chris107: (9Lusty human fighters sniffing about thinks Opa silently )
Smon: Morgana: "is it possible their was a man, a new one perhaps, in her life?" Hektor & Madam Markle both shake their heads. "She didn't say anything. But she never tells us anything..."
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader Is there is servant who has her confidence?
genghisdon: "an old nanny or the like?"
Smon: Hektor: "An enemy? I don't think so... I mean, Yggsburgh has many enemies. Talworth is always plotting against us, especially, and sending slavers...." Mrs Markle sobs.
genghisdon: "no, i meant specific to yourselves"
chris107: Opa quietly to Madam Markle @Where was she heading the last time you saw her?
Smon: Hektor: "Personal enemies? I can't think of any... her nanny died three years ago. "
genghisdon: "no younger servant she liked?"
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader Does she has a ... maid? or what is this servant for females called?
genghisdon: (maid sounds good to me)
Smon: Opa has her arm round Madam Markle's shoulder, comforting the tearful lady. Madam Markle: "I think it was the day before she vanished... She said something about getting a new hat, and clothes... underwear, stockings."
Goonergeezer: garrick: would it be ok if i searched her room to see if i can find anyrthing useful?
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader No.
genghisdon: (well, unless anyone wants to round up their servants & chat them all up, lets go to the haberdasher's)
Goonergeezer: garrick: perhaps a diary or somehting
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader If there is someone searching, it will be one of the females.
Smon: Madam Markle: "There's just the upstairs maid, and Doreen my lady in waiting. But she's more an old friend of mine than a servant."
chris107: Opa makes reassuring comments and promises most faithfully to do everything in her power to find the missing girl.
Smon: GM: The Haberdasher will be closed by now.
genghisdon: "we all will do our best, madam. May Opa & I searxh her room for clues?"
Goonergeezer: garrick@ i have no problem with that, Mr markle would it be alright if one of the females here searched your daughters room?
Smon: Hektor nods. "Yes... I suppose so."
Smon: "The Usher can escort you."
genghisdon: "thank you, could your maid show the way?"
genghisdon: "ok"
chris107: Opa goes with Morganna to look for clues
Goonergeezer: garrick: you two go and search we will go and see mr rasch, Mr Markle would you know his home address?
Smon: GM: The usher escorts Morganna & Opa upstairs.
Smon: Markle @Garrick: "The Haberdasher? No, I don't know his address."
genghisdon: (the strikers)
genghisdon: (but wait for us)
Goonergeezer: garrick@ markle my apologies i thought that considering your position in the bank you might know his address, being that he is the most expensive outfitter in town
Smon: GM: The usher opens a door off the landing and leads the two elf-maids into a very feminine room, a large 4-poster bed in the middle.
Smon: There are many chests of draws and closets.
Eliana Has exited the room
Mablir Dorlig: (Haberdasher??)
genghisdon: (and you give him obscene amounts of $)
genghisdon: "thank you sir"
chris107: Opa scratches her head trying to think back the hundred or so years since she was young and remember where she would hide things
genghisdon: Morganna flops on the bed...checks under pillows, ect
Smon: There is a portrait depicting an elegant, attractive young woman with immaculately coiffed brown hair, wearing long white gloves, a cream silk dress, and much expensive jewelry.
genghisdon: "that's good to know, what she looks like"
chris107: Opa checks the frame and back of the pic
Smon: Markle looks at Garrick. "I am the President of the College. Oswald Striker is Bank President. I do not concern myself with Haberdashers." He sounds offended.
genghisdon: "well pretty victoria, lets see what we can learn..."
chris107: Opa @ Morganna (maybe a bit bitchily) She's not that pretty.
genghisdon: I'll do a "super elf" quick search, then move onto cheacking all the boxes, ect
Goonergeezer: ooc sorry i am getting everything mixed up tonight
genghisdon: Morganna looks again..."yes, she is pretty"
Smon: Morgana spots a diary on a bedside table.
genghisdon: "not as pretty as you Opa dear"
Smon: OOC: You better take some notes, you don't want to screw up IC.
chris107: Opa @ Morganna
genghisdon: i open the diary near the back
chris107: (Does the diary have a dust jacket or loose cover?)
genghisdon: and work backward till it starts
chris107: (Or a spine that could hold rolled up sheets?)
genghisdon: (clever Opa)
chris107: (Opa's not as daft as she looks, highly intelligent in fact )
Smon: Morgana reads the final entry: "19th Forunth. Such a bore today! Sir Hawkes was visiting daddy again, and he is so terribly common! Daddy says he wants to be on the Council. Oh well. Tomorrow shopping, then late luncheon with the Striker girls. I need new underwear, and a hat that'll impress them..."
genghisdon: the entry before that?
chris107: Opa continues looking in all the nooks and crannies, atop the four poster etc for anything that looks 'hidden' or out of place.
Kjato Ragfoot: ((Why the hell does she need new underwear if she is to visit some friends?))
Smon: GM: There's a lot of stuff about parties, and shopping. Some idle gossip, mostly about various young women in her social set.
genghisdon: (that fits all the description we have so far)
genghisdon: i give the book to Opa to check for secrets
genghisdon: then start looking through the boxes & chests
chris107: Opa also checks the various perfume bottles (just in case a familiar smell can be detected later on)
Smon: Judging by the contents of the chests of drawers, Victoria already had a lot of lacy underwear. The bras/halters look very large to Opa's eye. There are also a lot of hats in a wardrobe, and numerous dresses.
genghisdon: (she is "driends" just like Morganna is)
Mablir Dorlig: (depends on the underwear and the friends )
genghisdon: good idea on perfume, Morganna sniffs it too
chris107: Opa looks sourly at the large bras
genghisdon: "humans...what can they do, they are cow like"
Goonergeezer: garrick: right come on while they are upstairs let go to the haberdashers
Mablir Dorlig: (never mind the quality, feel the cup size)
chris107: Then down at her own non-existant 4 stone chest
genghisdon: "but fun"
Smon: The diary mentions a brief affair with a handsome young Captain of the guards about 3 months ago, Cpt Mosely Montjoy, she seems to have dumped him for being 'bucolic'.
genghisdon: (he is closed gooner)
genghisdon: excellent
genghisdon: I'll bring down the portrait & diary
chris107: Opa @ Morganna - That's worth following up
Goonergeezer: he might live above the shop or he might be working late of someones clothes
Smon: That's all in the diary - it starts M1 96 YY
genghisdon: so there should be other diaries around?
chris107: Opa @ morganna - I wonder if the family met this 'Montjoy' chap?
genghisdon: anyway, I want to let the others see what she looks like before they run off
genghisdon: "lets go find out "
Mablir Dorlig: Corak will now head towards the rest, hopefully being able to enter by saying he is a friend of Garrick's
chris107: Opa has one last look round for loose floor boards or secret compartments that her quick elven eyes may detect.
genghisdon: i bring the portrait & diary down to the others
genghisdon: "we can come back Opa"
Smon: /roll 1d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets:3,
chris107: 1-3 Concealed
chris107: 1-2 secret
genghisdon: heh
Smon: GM: There's a jewelry chest under the bedside table, and you find a key under the pillow.
chris107: Opa investigates
genghisdon: i put my hand ubder there!
Smon: (You've smelt the perfume BTW, very nice)
Smon: GM: You open the chest with the key?
chris107: Yes
Smon: The chest clicks open. Inside is a lot of jewelry - diamond and pearl, mostly. Necklaces, tiaras, pendants, ear-rings... Must be hundreds of gold worth.
Smon: Maybe over a thousand.
genghisdon: (who is their jeweler?)
Smon: (you didn't ask)
chris107: (Opa admires the lovely jewelry)
genghisdon: (i will)
chris107: And sorts through to make sure there are no false panals within
genghisdon: i head downstair while opa oggles
Smon: You leave the jewelry & the diary and take the portrait downstairs?
genghisdon: i take the diary too, in my pouch
Smon: /roll 1d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets:4,
Smon: No false bottom. You do spot a chest under the bed - opening it reveals a stack of diaries going back 13 years, it looks like.
chris107: ((OOC I'm finding it very difficult hot to pocket the lot and am trying to think what OPa would do))
Smon:
genghisdon: (heh, made u a dilemma)
Kjato Ragfoot: ((Well, ask a specialist if you need advise))
genghisdon: chaotic GOOD
Mablir Dorlig: (13 diaries would probably weigh more than Opa)
chris107: Thousands of GP
genghisdon: (u a fighter, not a thief!)
chris107: (In easily concealed jewelrt!)
Kjato Ragfoot: ((Duvader = Fighter + Thief))
genghisdon: (steal it then)
chris107: Opa likes jewelry (and animals)
genghisdon: lol
Eliana Has entered the room
Smon: Morgana goes downstairs with the current diary and the portrait, which is quite large. Garick & Duvader see the portrait of an elegant, glamorous young woman of about 25, with an hourglass figure, rather large breasts, and a somewhat self-satisfied expression.n
genghisdon: "take a good look lads, we need to find her"
Smon: Markle: "That's Victoria. She had that done two years ago."
genghisdon: "how old is this portrait?"
genghisdon: "thanks sir"
chris107: Opa sighs and locks the jewelry box. Putting the key back where she found it.
Smon: Markle: "She's quite tall - 5'7" I think..."
genghisdon: "a lovely young woman of impecable breeding"
genghisdon: "any other physical characteristics that might aid us?"
Smon: Madam Markle: "Well, she has a freckle on her left hip... "
Smon: Madam Markle weeps. "Oh, I do hope she's alright! If anything has happened, I'll never forgive myself!"
genghisdon: "ok...well then, could you tell us what jeweler's shops she frequented?"
genghisdon: "for what dear lady?"
Smon: The couple look at each other.
Smon: "For letting her go out unaccompanied! The streets aren't safe these days, even within the walls!"
chris107: Opa says to madam Markle - You should move your daughters jewelry to a safer place. it's under the bed - the keys under the pillow. best to keep it safe for her return.
genghisdon: "well, it shall become safe again soon, i promise"
genghisdon: (i don't think they know of it)
Smon: Madam Markle nods to Opa. "Thank you, dear."
chris107: (dont want any light fingered servants making off with it and us getting the blame)
genghisdon: "jeweler's? any specific shops the family dealt with?"
Smon: Madam Markle: "She said Zolan's Emporium in the Outs had the best jewelry, but she knew not to go to the Outs unaccompanied."
genghisdon: "maybe not"
chris107: Opa asks Madam Markle about the bucolic Captain Mosely
Smon: Madam Markle: "Mosely? Mosely Montjoy, Sir Reynard's son? He's a lovely boy."
Smon: "He danced with Victoria at the New Year's Ball at the Citadel. They made a lovely couple."
genghisdon: "did you know your daughter was interested in him for a time?"
genghisdon: ok, u did
genghisdon: I'll take the poirtrait back upstairs
chris107: Opa been unused to the ways of the world has a some what jaundiced view of romance - only ever having seen her friends rather 'forward' tactics...
Smon: Madam Markle nods. "But she hardly tells us anything! If I ask when she's getting married, she just laughs at me!"
genghisdon: (she is a lez)
Mablir Dorlig: (Morganna bait)
genghisdon: (yep)
chris107: (Opa wonders if he told his chums that he'd deflowered her)
genghisdon: once upstairs, i do a search for sec doors, pannels ect
Smon: GM: The diary seemed to indicate that Victoria found Captain Montjoy too staid & boring.
genghisdon: i gathered
chris107: (She's still not sure what 'deflowered' actually means)
Smon: GM: Moving forward, you find no secret doors etc and eventually the usher escorts you all out, it's now after 9pm, Corak is waiting outside.
genghisdon: before i go, i get the diary BEFORE this one
Smon: ok
Kjato Ragfoot: ((Opa: He who asks might get answers. He who not asks, will less likely get answers))
Smon: That's Yggs Year 95.
Goonergeezer: garrick to the striker residence
genghisdon: I'll tell them I'm taking them, to read for clues
genghisdon: what is this year?
genghisdon: 96?
Smon: Hektor nods to Morganna. "If you need them, I suppose."
Smon: It's YY 96
chris107: ((Opa thinks it best not to ask and is happy in the thought that whatever it is it probably involves forest gladed and those pretty little purple flowers....)
genghisdon: "i do not know if they will prove useful or not"
Smon: GM: You guys better be quick if you want a fight today
genghisdon: "but i shall return them"
genghisdon: give us streeet thugs
Eliana Has exited the room
genghisdon: brb
Mablir Dorlig: (Don't forget Corak heading back to group)
chris107: me too brb, this glass seems to be empty
Smon: GM: Moving forward, you find no secret doors etc and eventually the usher escorts you all out, it's now after 9pm, Corak is waiting outside.
Goonergeezer: garrick@ ok we got some leads let rest up tonight and visit ablers rasher, this jeweler and zoltan on the morning
Smon: GM: Are you retiring now for an early start, or going somewhere tonight?
Kjato Ragfoot: Retire.
chris107: Retire
Mablir Dorlig: Corak (assuming i've been filled in) would ie worth looking for montejoy(sp?)
chris107: (To dream of easy loot lost by staying in character )
Smon: GM: OK, you can return north to the Hawkes estate, Corak to the Inn.
Smon: Next morning you can assemble early at the Green Dragon.
Smon: You're going to the Haberdasher first?
Mablir Dorlig: (or the ligerie shop)
Goonergeezer: yes and then onto zolans emporium
Kjato Ragfoot: Zolan first.
chris107: Opa @ Group - We need to speak with Captain Montjoy, The Striker twins and visit the shops...
Smon: Haberdasher sells lingerie, it's a big 'department store' complex
genghisdon: wtf? retire?
chris107: lets split up and cover the ground more quickly
Eliana Has entered the room
genghisdon: i think the twins will point us to the shop, but someone pick
chris107: Opa - vote for splitting/staying together?
Goonergeezer: haberdashers, quick visit see igf he remembers her being here on the 20th
Smon: (usually best to stay together to avoid repetition etc)
chris107: Okay
genghisdon: does it help, we still only type as fast
genghisdon: i know we'dd split IRL, but it's a gameism
Smon: (your choice)
genghisdon: stay together
Mablir Dorlig: Corak would prefer sticking together he finds it very difficult to talk with strangers
Goonergeezer: quick then all to albert rashe haberdashers
chris107: Opa's happy to tag along
genghisdon: ok
Smon: GM: Shortly after the great store has opened that morning, you arrive outside Albert Rasch, Haberdasher, the premier supplier of fashionable clothing - and lingerie, and hats - in all Yggsburgh.
genghisdon: take the lead someone...bad cop if u please
Smon: You've been here before, several have bought outfits here, Garrick took a bath in a bathhouse just south of here.
chris107: Opa ogles at such a fine array of lovely things
Goonergeezer: staright in and ask the first person inside the shop serving to speak with mr rasche
chris107: Not poor Opa )
genghisdon: (yes, bought the dress & jewelry I'm wearing)
genghisdon: (thnx flynn & Duvader!)
Smon: The ground floor has the main front show rooms with many lovely things for Opa to ogle, plus coffee and tea bar.
chris107: Opa thinks to herself - few things could be as pretty as my fine elven mail though...
genghisdon: Morganna oggles the nice pretties too
Smon: Main showroom has manikins in fancy garments, 2nd showroom has footwear, belts, hats et al. Lingerie is to the rear, near the fitting rooms, a set for each sex.
genghisdon: to the rear I go
Smon: A salesgirl greets you.
Smon: "Good morning, sirs and ladies"
Mablir Dorlig: Corak will just go red in the face and bow his head in prayer - as far as possible he'll follow Garrick
Goonergeezer: garrick: good morning, would it be p[ossible to speak to mr rasch and the staff please?
Smon: The girl shakes her head. "Mr Rasch is not on the floor. Can I assist?"
genghisdon: "greetings, I'm looking to purchase something i saw a friend in, some lovelies Victoria H bought about a week & a half ago"
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader looks interestingly at some gnome women sized lingery. Hmm.
Smon:
Smon: The girl nods to Morgana. "Our lingerie is here... "
Smon: /roll 1d6
chris107:
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets:5,
genghisdon: "obviously she is much more, endowed than I, but do you know what i am looking for?"
Smon: "We can help you get fitted, if you would like to make a selection and..."
Goonergeezer: garrick: we were wondering if you or any of your staff remember the 20th of this month we would like to know if you remember a Miss Victoria markle visiting that day?
genghisdon: "oh, i can't be sure, do you have a sales record you could check for me?"
Smon: The girl looks puzzled at Morgana and shakes her head. "I'm not familiar with... I can ask the floor manager?"
genghisdon: (sorry gooner, we are going loggerheads)
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader We would appreciate that.
genghisdon: "surely"
Smon: "Excuse me." she goes over to the register desk and talks with an older man, who nods and comes over. "Good morning."
chris107: Opa tries to rid herself of the frightening image of Duv in frilly female knickers
Goonergeezer: ooc s'ok don we will confuse her into giving something away lol
genghisdon: go on
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader Good Morning. We would like to know whether Victoria Markle was here 9 days ago.
Smon: "Miss Victoria Markle is a most valued customer, of course..."
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader and whether she was here since.
Goonergeezer: garrick: good morning sir we are conducting and investigation into the disapearance of miss victoria markle, she went missing on the 20th of this month, would you or any of your staff be able to confirm if she visited your shop that day
Smon: He nods, and checks the register. "I don't have any sales to that name. She normally pays by credit, so I don't think she made a purchase that day."
Mablir Dorlig: Corak @ Garrick (whisper) ask if she ever came here with montejoy?
Smon: /roll 1d6
Goonergeezer: garrick: and could you recall if she ever visited the shop with anyone else?
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets:6,
Smon: /roll 1d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets:6,
Smon: The man scratches his cheek. "I'm sorry, I don't recall."
Smon: He pauses. "Do you mean on other occasions? Yes, she was often here with her lady friends."
Eliana Has exited the room
Goonergeezer: garrick: we have no further questions at this time but we may have in the future, might i enquire youor name sir?
genghisdon: "really? she is well known to associate with the striker sisters, are u sure?"
genghisdon: ok
chris107: Opa @ Man - What a shame, it would help us discover her murderer so much easier if you could. You wouldn't want us to suspect you would you?
Smon: He nods. "I'm Gilbert Taylor."
genghisdon: lol
Smon: He looks startled at Opa. "Murderer?! She's been murdered?!"
genghisdon: "is there a salesperson she prefered to use? esp the one that day?"
genghisdon: "shhh..no, but she IS missing"
Goonergeezer: garrick: ok sir thank you very much, we will not take any more of your time
chris107: Opa looks on straight faced and says nothing
Smon: He thinks. "Hattie.... Hattie was on duty that day. I can fetch her."
genghisdon: "thanks you"
chris107: Opa smiles sweetly - It's so good you remember
Smon: Gilbert goes over to the Dresses area, and comes back with a woman of about 35. "Good morning. How can I help?"
genghisdon: morganna looks a t her with elf+hawk vision "yes"
genghisdon: "we are looking into the disapearance of Victoria Markle"
Smon: The woman is of average looks, slightly birdlike, hair pulled back.
Goonergeezer: garrick: hattie is it? hello my name is garrick, i was wondering if you recall seeing miss victoria markle on the 20th of this month
genghisdon: "could you tell us what she did & said the last time you saw her?"
genghisdon: (ixna the dates)
chris107: (Opa thinks - look out Hattie! Garrick will be after deflowering you)
genghisdon: (at 35 she already is, i hope, opa)
Smon: Hattie squints, thinking hard. "mm... Yes, she was here. She wanted new underwear. She..."
chris107: (Opa thinks that perhaps human women don't get much opportunity to visit the forest glades with pretty purple flowers....)
genghisdon: (morganna is here to guide them, luckily)
chris107:
Smon: Hattie's mouth opens. "Oh. You know, I'm not sure. I seem to recall she went into the changing roooms, but then some other customers caught my attention. I don't recall seeing her after that."
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader The changing room?
genghisdon: "are you certain? that's it?"
chris107: Opa slips off to search for secret doors in the changing rooms
Smon: She looks around. "Perhaps the changing room guard could assist you."
Goonergeezer: garrick: and do you remember who these other customers were, did you recognise them?
Smon: "There was Mrs Richardson, she wanted a stole..."
Goonergeezer: garrick: could you please direct us to him?
chris107: Opa taps the walls for hollow sounds etc.
Mablir Dorlig: Corak @ Gilbert & Hattie "If you remember anything else then contact me at the Green Dragon Inn - it would look bad if something came to light that you couldn't remember" Corak bows and adds "my blessing upon you both"
Smon: Opa goes over to the changing rooms, there are two entrances, male and female, each to a row of cubicles, with a private door at the near end to a security room. A single guard in ringmail stands outside, a small club at his belt.
Smon: /roll 1d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets:2,
chris107: Opa smiles winningly at him and enters the female rooms
Smon: Hattie nods to Corak.
Smon: The guard looks at Opa. "What're you trying on?"
Goonergeezer: finishing with hattie garrick heads towards the changing rooms to speak with the guard
chris107: Opa @ Guard 'Nothing you big strong man i'm just witing for my friend Morgana to pick out some thing pretty. I said I'd wait for her in here...
Smon: Guard: "We don't like people going in there to secrete things about their person..."
Smon: Garick approaches the guard. The man looks a bit nervous.
Mablir Dorlig: (I'm sure Morganna would enjoy a changing room encounter)
chris107: Opa - guileslly - you can search me on the way out if you wish
genghisdon: actually she has gotten bored & went outside to wait
Smon: Guard: "Anyway, there's woman getting changed in number six."
Goonergeezer: garrick: good morning sir, to whom am i adressing?
Smon: The guard turns. "Belfry. Who're you?"
genghisdon: (another day for changing room sexcapades!)
chris107: @ Group - Opa would really like to check for secret 'abducting' doors in the changing rooms
genghisdon: (grab some clothes chris)
Goonergeezer: garrick: i am chief inspector Garrick of a private investigation unit, we were wondering if we could ask you a few questions
chris107: @ DM can she stealthily slip past while the guard is distracted?
Smon: Belfry: "You're a Hawkes man, I can see your tabard..."
genghisdon: (if there is a secret door in there i will choke though...maybe a peep slot for a pervy wanker, but i can't see more)
chris107: (I just don't see how taking nothing in is a theft threat)
Mablir Dorlig: Corak approaches guard "my friend we are looking into a disappearance and would appreciate the help of you and your colleagues in this matter"
chris107: (Think slaver conspiricy with top peoples shop)
Smon: Opa slips past the guard. The first five cubicles are empty, #6 has the curtain drawn and Opa can see stockinged feet underneath.
genghisdon: (it's not ringing for me, but I'll admit, tis possible)
chris107: (She's not been seen since entering these changing rooms after all)
Goonergeezer: garrick: you were on duty on the 20th of this month, do you remember a miss victoria maekle comingg in that day
Smon: Belfry shrugs.
Smon: GM: Opa is able to quickly inspect the first 5 cubicles, not detecting anything. Is she waiting for the occupant of the 6th to exit?
Goonergeezer: garrick whispers @ belfry "sir, you do not appreciate the severity of this situation a young lady has been missing for 10 days now and all you can do is shrug?
chris107: (Opa quietly taps and checks away, sitting quietly behind the curtain of no. 5 if nothing is revealed until the incumbent leaves.
Mablir Dorlig: (still think the spurned lover is more likely than the lingerie)
chris107: (Me too but best to check while we're here)
Goonergeezer: garrick gives belfry 1 gold piece " now lets start again shall we?
chris107: (Nothing to come back for then)
Goonergeezer: do you remmeber miss markle on that day?#
Smon: Belfry: "I just guard this place, I..." Garrick hands over the coin. At this point an attractive red-haired woman emerges from the 6th changing cubicle in lacy black lingerie. She calls to the guard: "Please call the salesgirl, I'd like some assistance..." she looks at Garrick, who is standing at the entrance to the lady's changing rooms, and frowns.
Smon: Opa is able to slip into the last room - yes, there around the mirror is the faint outline of a door in the back wall.
Goonergeezer: garrick@ lady i am sorry madam i have been asking belfry here some questions as to the disapearance of miss markle
chris107: she returns to tell her chums off this
Smon: The redhead looks at Garrick. "Excuse me!"
Goonergeezer: garrick looks away
Smon: She blushes slightly - her underwear is quite skimpy. Belfry nods to the woman. "I'll fetch the salesgirl..."
chris107: Opa @ Group - There is a very well concealed secret door in changing room 6. Find out if that was where our missing girl went...
chris107: Or lets slip through
genghisdon: (go in it)
Smon: Opa comes up to Garrick, who is standing beside a redhead lady in lacy black underwear.
chris107: Opa slips back and tries to flit through the secret door.
genghisdon: (morganna regrets not heading back there now)
chris107: While all are distracted
genghisdon: (i can't belive it BTW)
Smon: GM: Only Garrick is in sight, Opa. Duvader is probably nearby though.
genghisdon: (prob an old man wanking it behind there)
chris107: (It was another Carry On Film that gave me the idea - Carry On Screaming)
Smon:
Goonergeezer: (thats my fave carry on film
chris107: ((Even if it is Don, that will be useful information to maybe use when talking to the Striker twins, they'll want to know about it surely?)
Smon: GM: Is Garrick following Opa?
genghisdon: can he?
Goonergeezer: wheer has belfry gone?
Smon: Physically, yes.
genghisdon: (sure, go Opa)
chris107: (9Brave 15HP Opa!))
Mablir Dorlig: (unless the twins are behind there looking on)
Smon: Belfry is going over to the young salesgirl you first met.
chris107:
Eliana Has entered the room
chris107: Opa's slipping through regardless
Goonergeezer: garrick willl quickly follow ope while belfry is distracted
genghisdon: (15 hp more than salesgirls & belry's)
Smon: GM; As far as I can tell Opa just told Garrick about the secret door in front of the redhead woman?
chris107: ((Opa feels quite fierce, grrrrr!)
genghisdon: lol...what does she think about the secret door? LOL
Smon: GM: Opa goes back to the changing room - the redhead woman's clothes are in there. "Hey!" she yells as she sees Garrick go in there too.
chris107: @ GM - That wasn't the intention but I'll go with your call Simon
genghisdon: @ DM if Morganna notices a commotion she goes to check it out
Smon: OOC; You said 'to group' but the group wasn't together & there were NPCs around, let's let it stand
Mablir Dorlig: @ DM wasn't Corak there with Garrick (I did speak to Belfry)
chris107: No problem
genghisdon: (tell the woman about the S door, what can it hurt now?)
Smon: GM: Opa gets the secret door open, it rotates with a creak, revealing a narrow unlit tunnel. To the left it ends in a door. To the right steps lead down.
chris107: (I agree)
Smon: GM: OK Corak follows Garrick?
Goonergeezer: garrick@ opa let get the others and come back
chris107: (Opa feels quite giddy)
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader @ woman Stop yelling, there are no nude women in there, are there?
Smon: GM: Did Morgana go outside?
genghisdon: (at mention of nude women, Morganna's hawk/elf eyes look for her)
Mablir Dorlig: Defo - Corak regards Garrick as his best friend
chris107: Opa @ Garrick - You get them deary, I'll just quietly scout the start...
genghisdon: sure, was what i said
Smon: Morgana is unaware of events inside then.
Goonergeezer: corak with me you get the others i'll get belfry
genghisdon: (curses!)
Goonergeezer: garrick exits and makes his way towards belfry
chris107: (Opa's really quite bright brain thinks she should wait for Duv to check for traps)
genghisdon: (so wait, cause an uproar if need be, what are u guys worried about?)
chris107: Opa goes a few feet in and waits for her infravision to 'tune in'
genghisdon: (if we can handle bandits, we can handle haberdashers)
Smon: GM: Belfry returns with the salesgirl, the redhead is standing there, they all look at your group in the changing room & corridor. Redhead: "Get out of there! That's my changing room!"
chris107: Looking for any heat sources, like very recent departing foot prints...
Mablir Dorlig: Corak goes and rounds up the others
chris107: (Ha Ha!)
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader @Redhead did you pay for it?
Smon: Redhead looks at Duvader: "My clothes are in there!"
Kjato Ragfoot: Not to mention, we do not need your room, only the secret door behind.
Goonergeezer: garrick: madam could you please get the city guard, this man here needs to be taken into custody for further questioning
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader That problem can be easily solved.
genghisdon: (let her get dressed first?)
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader goes into the room and hand the clothes over to the redhead.
chris107: brb - another glass seems to have evaporated. Must be the heat from the fire
Smon: The salesgirl looks at Duvader: "What?!" Behind her you see Belfry take a step back, then turn and run!
Goonergeezer: garrick runs for him trying to overbear him
genghisdon: aha! come to me, wretched man!
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader @ Morganna Catch Belfry!
Goonergeezer: garrick shouting" stop that man
genghisdon: elf ears pick that up simon?
Mablir Dorlig: How far away is Corak? Command "Halt"
Smon: GM: Only Garrick & Corak are close enough to chase him - Duvader is left holding the redhead's clothes, Opa is in the secret passage.

genghisdon: I'm in a dress, not PM for town
Smon: Morgana, you hear the yelling.
Goonergeezer: garrick shouts "5 gold to whoever stops him

chris107: (Surely he can't roll 2, 20's?)

genghisdon: "lets check this place out"
Goonergeezer: upon seeing them disapear out of view garrick heads back into the shop and askds if the manager is available
Smon: No watchmen in sight. He sprints north, then ducks down an alley. When you get there he's not in sight.
genghisdon: (u might even demand it)
Goonergeezer: garrick: it is of the utmost importance
genghisdon: (is lightning on him?)
chris107: ((OOC chances are he's in on ehatever this is))
Smon: GM: Meanwhile what are Opa & Duvader doing?

Mablir Dorlig: Corak wants to get Belfry looked for by the city watch but is torn between trying to follow, looking for a watchman and joining his comrades
Smon: Lightning returns to Morgana and reports that the man opened a storm drain cover and ducked in.
chris107: Yeah, go greased lightning!
genghisdon: (ARAGH)
genghisdon: I'm going to the sewers, we gotta split up
genghisdon: "show me lightning"
Smon: GM: Opa in the tunnel finds that the door to the left opens into the security room, which has a desk and chairs, a window & doors to the main hall. The stairs to the right lead down into darkness.
chris107: Opa @ Duv - Stairs it is then?
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader Nods
Smon: GM: Not much time left - gonna focus on Opa & Duvader.
chris107: Opa @ Duv - Do you want to use your trap finding skills up front?

chris107: Opa will cover with arrows from behind
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader Yes.
chris107: Cheers Don
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader will check the stairs for traps.
genghisdon Has exited the room

Smon: Garrick, the redhead shrieks as you dash past her into the unlit tunnel. Do you have a light source?
Mablir Dorlig: what can I hear or see (even outlines)
Smon: It's pitch black.
Goonergeezer: i take a torch from my backpack and light it with my tinderbox
chris107: (Thirsty work this dog slaying, brb)
Mablir Dorlig: Corak shouts "Duvader, Opa help is here guide me"
Smon: Duv and Opa, you see the line of 3 cells against the far wall. A large key hangs on the left wall.
Smon: BTW if you have a +1 sword, they shed light...
Smon: not daggers though
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader Ouch. Let's check these cells.
Goonergeezer: in which cae i draw wytchblade
genghisdon: (get your blind cleric)
Smon: GM: Garrick draws the enchanted blade, light shining.
Smon: Duvader and Opa see the naked, hooded form of a large-breasted human female chained to the wall at the back of the middle cell.
chris107: back
Mablir Dorlig: Corak: Duvader you look injured do you need curing?
Smon: Corak sees light behind him, then Garick enters the room.
chris107: Opa rushes to get the key
Smon: A dead wardog lies on the floor.
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader @ Corak. Yes, that would be helpful.
genghisdon: (hurray, u saved victoria!)
chris107: and release the poor girl
Smon: finally
Mablir Dorlig: CLW on Duvader

chris107:
Smon: Opa unlocks the cell door and rushes in. The girl is tightly bound, her face covered.
Smon: Could be a medusa?
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader Thanks Corak.
Mablir Dorlig: (Prob not back to full but thats it for today)
genghisdon: (poor girl)
chris107: OOC - But who planned this foul deed? And was she the first?)
Smon: Opa, you removing the hood?
genghisdon: (doubtful)
genghisdon: (secret rooms & such implies more than causual effort)
Mablir Dorlig: (never got the chance to try and rugby tackle the dog while unable to see)
chris107: Yes, Opa is moved by concern and not on her guard
genghisdon: unless hissing & movement demand she think it is a medusa...
Smon: Duvader is on 11/13. Opa removes the hood, sees Victoria, gagged and terrified looking. She removes the gag and unlocks the girl's chains, then Garrick can drape a cloak around her.
chris107: (She's never even heard of a medusa, a simple forrest girl, our Opa)
genghisdon: which would also be crazy, but I'm 0/2 2 day
Eliana Has exited the room
Kjato Ragfoot: The other cells are empty? Duvader will search them anyway.
Smon: Corak & Duvader, you can see a narrow crevice in the left wall, enough for a man to pass through. It opens into a rough-hewn narrow tunnel sloping down. There is a slight breeze.
Smon: The other cdlls are empty, one shows signs of use, but several weeks ago.
Mablir Dorlig: Who is here at the moment
chris107: Opa comforts the poor child.
genghisdon: everyone but me & flynn
genghisdon: (am i chasing the belfry still?)
Smon: GM: Corak Duvader Garrick Opa. Morgana returns a couple minutes later and can join them as Opa comforts the traumatised Victoria.
Smon: I'll stop shortly.
Mablir Dorlig: Corak @ Garrick (loud enough for rest to hear) do we get Victoria back home or do we take this lead now
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader Let's return Victoria. The labyrinth won't run away.
Smon: OOC: Well done actually, I wasn't sure you'd find her. Lots of false leads.
Goonergeezer: how far away is mr markles house?
genghisdon: "we can do both, yes let's get her home"
chris107: Opa @ Group, this is a scandal. We must return poor Victoria to her loving parents then find out what is going on here!
genghisdon: "agreed"
Smon: About 1/2 mile to the Markle house.
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader The owner will probably be thankful if we investigate the labyrith.
genghisdon: "you think the owner isn't in on it? really?"
chris107: Opa - If he's not involved in the first place
Goonergeezer: garrick at group quickly then i dont want the trail to go cold belfry is going to inform his masters they have been found out
chris107: Opa - How would one build these secret ways without the owners knowledge?
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader If he is, Sir Markle and Sir Hawkes will be able to put up sufficient pressure to let us in.
genghisdon: for far to the Hawkes?
Mablir Dorlig: Corak @ all "lets also get this placed closed until we can ensure that that it is safe for everyone, we have some degree of prestige with the authorities"
Smon: Victoria weeps in Opa's arms.
genghisdon: how far to the Hawkes?
Goonergeezer: garrick: @ grouip whoever is fasteset go to the markle house and get her parents
chris107: Opa speaks gently to the girl.
genghisdon: Morganna is unarmored so she runs off
chris107: reassuring her she's safe now
Smon: GM: The room you're in, the stairs down & the cells, all look like original construction. The crevice in the left wall looks new.
Smon: /roll 1d100+5
Smon rolls 1d100+5 and gets:61, (+5) = 66
chris107: (OOC As is her jewelry!)
Smon: Opa comforts Victoria. "Water... please...." she says.
chris107: Opa - If Morganna has gone to fetch this childs parents, we should stay here.
chris107: Opa gives her, her water skin
Smon: Morganna, you run out. The floor manager calls out to you: "I'm going to get the Owner!"
Smon: on the shop floor
genghisdon: "you do that, he has much to answer for!"
genghisdon: morganna runs off to the Markles
Smon: Victoria drinks eagerly, water running down her chin and neck.
Smon: Victoria: "They grabbed me... in the changing room..."
chris107: Opa casts a beady adventurers eye over the huge hound - any diamond studded, platinum collars?
genghisdon: lol
Smon: It has an iron-studded leather collar.
chris107: +3?
Smon: LOL
Mablir Dorlig: (may suit Morganna)
genghisdon: (get the back story chris)
chris107: (Ha HA!)
Smon: OK I''ll stop there. You can question Victoria via blog comments if you like.
Smon: LOL @Mablir
genghisdon: (no doggie collars for me, thnx)
Goonergeezer: ok great, tyvm again simon really enjoyed tonight

Kjato Ragfoot Has entered the room
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader wants to level up, too.
Goonergeezer: heya kja
Kjato Ragfoot: Hi Gooner
Smon: Hi Kjato.
Goonergeezer: i had a bad roll got a 3
Smon: Ulrich was going to supply you with coursers (light warhorses) as destriers/heavy warhorses are only really good for battle not travel.
Smon: You can try to explain to him why you need heavy warhorses if you like
Goonergeezer: you mean we cant ride into a cave complex
Smon: Generally, no.
Goonergeezer: light will be fine i just wanted to know what type of lance i shoukld equip
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader prefers iceland ponies. He'd need a ladder to climb a horse.
Smon: Anyway I'm doing it that you can rear the horse so it attacks, or attack yourself, but not both.
Goonergeezer: fair enough
Smon: I might let high level Fighters (7+) use 1 of their atts to have the horse attack & stil get an attack, though.
Goonergeezer: right i let you deal with duvader im gonna make coffeee brb
Smon: ok
Smon: Kjato can you roll Duvader's new hp - roll a d10 or d5

chris107: Just going to pour a glass (I don't share Opa's aversion) Then I'm ready to face anything
Goonergeezer: right has ulrich given us hector markles adrress?

Kjato Ragfoot: Yes. Scrawny Mystery Man.
Eliana Has entered the room
genghisdon: then kidnapped victoira (secrets?)

Eliana slides in while nobody is looking .... Dooo!
Goonergeezer: lets get straight around to markle residence and start asking questions one of us go and se aole#
genghisdon: detect evil, detect magic & know alignment or augary might be good for city adventuring
Goonergeezer: the females of the group stay with us , the twins will be more likely to speak to another female
Kjato Ragfoot: Good idea.
Mablir Dorlig: DM: Corak needs to go and call in on the inn keep/Lycanthrope at some point today
genghisdon: being as in game terms we gain nothing splitting up, i say we stick together (gamism)
Mablir Dorlig: (ism, ism, ism...)
Smon:
Goonergeezer: yea but this jkidnapping could be time sesititve and it only takes one to check aole if any thing is wrong they can come aND GET US SO WE CALL ALL SORT IT OUT
Goonergeezer: sory xcaps
chris107: Opa seems to remember Morganna checked on the werewolf earlier...
genghisdon: no worries. lets go
genghisdon: Morg "Stanley is doing ok, and so is his family, though they are worried, the poor dears"
Goonergeezer: who is gonna check o aole?
Goonergeezer: not flynn
Smon: GM: It is currently evening, you've been training all day, or in Morganna's case walking back from Hawfair Green. Are you going tonight, or tomorrow morning?
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader: I will. Would be good if some of you magic-users would come along.
Mablir Dorlig: Corak made a promie to do it daily though
Goonergeezer: we should see the family as soon as posss so i say tonight
genghisdon: Morg "Duvader, though i'd like his take on the kidnapping too...lets all go to the mansion"
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader would vote tomorrow morning. Aole can wait that long.
Smon: GM: We can say Corak has checked in with Stanley the past few days, since the priests allowed access - he was training nearby anyway.
Smon: Stanley is pale but composed.
Mablir Dorlig: Corak thinks it better to visit the werelandlord and spend some time praying
Kjato Ragfoot: OK. In that case, I will follow, as long as we check on Aole tomorrow.
genghisdon: "sounds good to me"
chris107: (werelandlord - I like that one )
Smon: GM: Ok, so Corak is visiting Stanley, the rest of you go to visit the Markles.
Mablir Dorlig: Need to check if he's been cured yet, if not prayers will be asking priests why not
Mablir Dorlig: OOC: (I'm not a fan of the Hawkes so, ipso facto, not of their friends either)
chris107: Sorry guys a log on my fire has just spit a big burning bit out
chris107: brb
genghisdon: aren't we gonna call oursellves "hawke's avengers" or something?
Kjato Ragfoot: Fellowship of the Hawkes?
genghisdon: i guess "those nice adventurers" will do
Goonergeezer: Hawke's Hawks
Eliana Has exited the room
chris107: (The ShiteHawkes?)
genghisdon: heh
genghisdon: (winner!)
Mablir Dorlig: (defo winner!!)
Smon: GM: You all leave th Green Dragon, heading across Gatehouse Plaza at the Rivergate. At Guild St Corak bids goodnight to the others and heads south to the Grand Temple to pray with Stanley. The rest of you can continue down Wall Avenue until you reach College St just north of the Citadel, and the Markle mansion.
genghisdon: (but he is lightning now...)
genghisdon: "come with us Corak, this girl needs succor!"
chris107: ((Couldn't find the big burny bit at first but could smell it, it had landed on a jumper in a nearby chair and singed it quite badly
)Smon: The student dormitories are close by, just east of West Way, on Students Alley.
Smon: (bad luck chris)
genghisdon: (sorry to hear it chris...bad fire!)
chris107: ((What kind of idiot has a log fire these days anyway?)
Smon: The mansion is a gothic-style 2 story residence in its own grounds.
chris107: Opa @ Group - That Mr. Hawkes chap told Hector we could help...
Mablir Dorlig: Corak @ Morganna "I have pledged myself to keep Stanley under my eye, alas I must spend an hour with him - mayhap I will meet you later"
Smon: Above the entrance is the coat of arms Opa saw, an open book with 'Mark Words of Wisdom'.
genghisdon: @ Corak "ok then, say hi to Stanley for me"
chris107: Opa @ Group - Maybe he's expecting us?
Smon: As you approach, two armoured guardsmen are just about to close the front gates for the night.
genghisdon: i knock on the door
genghisdon: oops
Mablir Dorlig: Corak @ group "I shall pass on greetings to Stanley from you all"
Goonergeezer: garrrick: hold there we have business with your master
genghisdon: "hello there, we are here to investigate victoria's dissapearance"
chris107: @Hello' and waves
Smon: The guards stop, noting Garrick's Hawkes tabard. "Ho there. You're Sir Ulrich's men, right? You wish to see Mr Markle?"
genghisdon: "yes, we would"
Goonergeezer: garrick@ guard " we do and his daughters too"
Goonergeezer: garrick@ guard " are they in this night?"
Smon: The guards nod and escort you to the door, pulling the bell rope. A sombrely dressed usher opens the door. "Good evening, gentlemen."
chris107: Opa waves from the back
genghisdon: "good evening"
Smon: /roll 1d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets:
2,Smon: You explain yourselves again, the usher escorts you to a waiting room.
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader bows.
genghisdon: (daughters are another house hold gooner)
Smon: Usher: "Mr Markle has one daughter, Victoria. She is missing."
Goonergeezer: OOc sorry brian not working at all there
genghisdon: "before you go guards, could either of you shed any light on Victoria's nature?"
chris107: (Any thing in a skirt seems to interst Garrick -Thinks Opa silently)
chris107:
genghisdon: (poor maligned GaRRICK)
Smon: The guards don't reply to Garrick.
Smon: (or Morganna)
genghisdon: or me?
genghisdon: hmm
Smon: /roll 1d6
chris107: (You beat me to it!)
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets:
5,Smon: Usher: "The President is home, as is Madam Markle. Shall I announce you?"
genghisdon: "please do"
Smon: The usher leaves you for a short while. When he returns, a well-dressed middle-aged couple are with him, the man is slight of build, balding and wears spectacles. The woman is plumper and has clearly been crying a lot.
genghisdon: "greetings and condolences"
Mablir Dorlig: (OOC: I'll prob join party shortly but need to eat, I'll keep an eye in case things blow up)
chris107: Opa looks with concern at the poor woman and offers condolences.
Smon: "Good evening" says the man. "I'm Markle, College President. You must be the Hawkes men."
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader My Sorries.
Smon: Mrs Markle sniffles.
genghisdon: "and Women, yea"
Smon: Hektor nods to Morganna: "And women. My apologies, of course." He sighs sadly.
chris107: Opa instinctively comforts the lady (having only recently lost her own family)
Smon: "I just don't understand it..."
genghisdon: "we have heard your daughter Victoria has been missing for 9 days now...I know it is hard, but can you go over the last few days she was here?"
Eliana Has entered the room
Smon: Hektor: "Everything was completely normal. I mean, we don't see that much of her. She's always out shopping, or with her friends, or both..."
Smon: "...She has very expensive tastes."
genghisdon: "could you prepare a list of the shops she frequents, of her friend's & their addresses?"
Smon: Mrs Markle nods in agreement.
Smon: Hektor shrugs. "I don't pay so much attention to fashion. Her best friends are Oswald Striker's girls, Annabel and Ivy."
genghisdon: "is it possible their was a man, a new one perhaps, in her life?"
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader We should speak with her friends, then.
Smon: Mrs Striker: "She always went to the Haberdasher... Albert Rasch. Only the finest for Victoria. She loves her lingeries..."
chris107: ((OOC - Did you win the PHB by the way Simon?))
genghisdon: "thank you"
Smon: (yup)
chris107:
genghisdon: "was there anything unusual in YOUR lives recently? an enemy made, or something like that?"
genghisdon: "servant dismiised, anything?"
chris107: (9Lusty human fighters sniffing about thinks Opa silently
)Smon: Morgana: "is it possible their was a man, a new one perhaps, in her life?" Hektor & Madam Markle both shake their heads. "She didn't say anything. But she never tells us anything..."
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader Is there is servant who has her confidence?
genghisdon: "an old nanny or the like?"
Smon: Hektor: "An enemy? I don't think so... I mean, Yggsburgh has many enemies. Talworth is always plotting against us, especially, and sending slavers...." Mrs Markle sobs.
genghisdon: "no, i meant specific to yourselves"
chris107: Opa quietly to Madam Markle @Where was she heading the last time you saw her?
Smon: Hektor: "Personal enemies? I can't think of any... her nanny died three years ago. "
genghisdon: "no younger servant she liked?"
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader Does she has a ... maid? or what is this servant for females called?
genghisdon: (maid sounds good to me)
Smon: Opa has her arm round Madam Markle's shoulder, comforting the tearful lady. Madam Markle: "I think it was the day before she vanished... She said something about getting a new hat, and clothes... underwear, stockings."
Goonergeezer: garrick: would it be ok if i searched her room to see if i can find anyrthing useful?
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader No.
genghisdon: (well, unless anyone wants to round up their servants & chat them all up, lets go to the haberdasher's)
Goonergeezer: garrick: perhaps a diary or somehting
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader If there is someone searching, it will be one of the females.
Smon: Madam Markle: "There's just the upstairs maid, and Doreen my lady in waiting. But she's more an old friend of mine than a servant."
chris107: Opa makes reassuring comments and promises most faithfully to do everything in her power to find the missing girl.
Smon: GM: The Haberdasher will be closed by now.
genghisdon: "we all will do our best, madam. May Opa & I searxh her room for clues?"
Goonergeezer: garrick@ i have no problem with that, Mr markle would it be alright if one of the females here searched your daughters room?
Smon: Hektor nods. "Yes... I suppose so."
Smon: "The Usher can escort you."
genghisdon: "thank you, could your maid show the way?"
genghisdon: "ok"
chris107: Opa goes with Morganna to look for clues
Goonergeezer: garrick: you two go and search we will go and see mr rasch, Mr Markle would you know his home address?
Smon: GM: The usher escorts Morganna & Opa upstairs.
Smon: Markle @Garrick: "The Haberdasher? No, I don't know his address."
genghisdon: (the strikers)
genghisdon: (but wait for us)
Goonergeezer: garrick@ markle my apologies i thought that considering your position in the bank you might know his address, being that he is the most expensive outfitter in town
Smon: GM: The usher opens a door off the landing and leads the two elf-maids into a very feminine room, a large 4-poster bed in the middle.
Smon: There are many chests of draws and closets.
Eliana Has exited the room
Mablir Dorlig: (Haberdasher??)
genghisdon: (and you give him obscene amounts of $)
genghisdon: "thank you sir"
chris107: Opa scratches her head trying to think back the hundred or so years since she was young and remember where she would hide things
genghisdon: Morganna flops on the bed...checks under pillows, ect
Smon: There is a portrait depicting an elegant, attractive young woman with immaculately coiffed brown hair, wearing long white gloves, a cream silk dress, and much expensive jewelry.
genghisdon: "that's good to know, what she looks like"
chris107: Opa checks the frame and back of the pic
Smon: Markle looks at Garrick. "I am the President of the College. Oswald Striker is Bank President. I do not concern myself with Haberdashers." He sounds offended.
genghisdon: "well pretty victoria, lets see what we can learn..."
chris107: Opa @ Morganna (maybe a bit bitchily) She's not that pretty.
genghisdon: I'll do a "super elf" quick search, then move onto cheacking all the boxes, ect
Goonergeezer: ooc sorry i am getting everything mixed up tonight
genghisdon: Morganna looks again..."yes, she is pretty"
Smon: Morgana spots a diary on a bedside table.
genghisdon: "not as pretty as you Opa dear"
Smon: OOC: You better take some notes, you don't want to screw up IC.
chris107: Opa @ Morganna
genghisdon: i open the diary near the back
chris107: (Does the diary have a dust jacket or loose cover?)
genghisdon: and work backward till it starts
chris107: (Or a spine that could hold rolled up sheets?)
genghisdon: (clever Opa)
chris107: (Opa's not as daft as she looks, highly intelligent in fact
)Smon: Morgana reads the final entry: "19th Forunth. Such a bore today! Sir Hawkes was visiting daddy again, and he is so terribly common! Daddy says he wants to be on the Council. Oh well. Tomorrow shopping, then late luncheon with the Striker girls. I need new underwear, and a hat that'll impress them..."
genghisdon: the entry before that?
chris107: Opa continues looking in all the nooks and crannies, atop the four poster etc for anything that looks 'hidden' or out of place.
Kjato Ragfoot: ((Why the hell does she need new underwear if she is to visit some friends?))
Smon: GM: There's a lot of stuff about parties, and shopping. Some idle gossip, mostly about various young women in her social set.
genghisdon: (that fits all the description we have so far)
genghisdon: i give the book to Opa to check for secrets
genghisdon: then start looking through the boxes & chests
chris107: Opa also checks the various perfume bottles (just in case a familiar smell can be detected later on)
Smon: Judging by the contents of the chests of drawers, Victoria already had a lot of lacy underwear. The bras/halters look very large to Opa's eye. There are also a lot of hats in a wardrobe, and numerous dresses.
genghisdon: (she is "driends" just like Morganna is)
Mablir Dorlig: (depends on the underwear and the friends
)genghisdon: good idea on perfume, Morganna sniffs it too
chris107: Opa looks sourly at the large bras
genghisdon: "humans...what can they do, they are cow like"
Goonergeezer: garrick: right come on while they are upstairs let go to the haberdashers
Mablir Dorlig: (never mind the quality, feel the cup size)
chris107: Then down at her own non-existant 4 stone chest
genghisdon: "but fun"
Smon: The diary mentions a brief affair with a handsome young Captain of the guards about 3 months ago, Cpt Mosely Montjoy, she seems to have dumped him for being 'bucolic'.
genghisdon: (he is closed gooner)
genghisdon: excellent
genghisdon: I'll bring down the portrait & diary
chris107: Opa @ Morganna - That's worth following up
Goonergeezer: he might live above the shop or he might be working late of someones clothes
Smon: That's all in the diary - it starts M1 96 YY
genghisdon: so there should be other diaries around?
chris107: Opa @ morganna - I wonder if the family met this 'Montjoy' chap?
genghisdon: anyway, I want to let the others see what she looks like before they run off
genghisdon: "lets go find out "
Mablir Dorlig: Corak will now head towards the rest, hopefully being able to enter by saying he is a friend of Garrick's
chris107: Opa has one last look round for loose floor boards or secret compartments that her quick elven eyes may detect.
genghisdon: i bring the portrait & diary down to the others
genghisdon: "we can come back Opa"
Smon: /roll 1d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets:
3,chris107: 1-3 Concealed
chris107: 1-2 secret
genghisdon: heh
Smon: GM: There's a jewelry chest under the bedside table, and you find a key under the pillow.
chris107: Opa investigates
genghisdon: i put my hand ubder there!
Smon: (You've smelt the perfume BTW, very nice)
Smon: GM: You open the chest with the key?
chris107: Yes
Smon: The chest clicks open. Inside is a lot of jewelry - diamond and pearl, mostly. Necklaces, tiaras, pendants, ear-rings... Must be hundreds of gold worth.
Smon: Maybe over a thousand.
genghisdon: (who is their jeweler?)
Smon: (you didn't ask)
chris107: (Opa admires the lovely jewelry)
genghisdon: (i will)
chris107: And sorts through to make sure there are no false panals within
genghisdon: i head downstair while opa oggles
Smon: You leave the jewelry & the diary and take the portrait downstairs?
genghisdon: i take the diary too, in my pouch
Smon: /roll 1d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets:
4,Smon: No false bottom. You do spot a chest under the bed - opening it reveals a stack of diaries going back 13 years, it looks like.
chris107: ((OOC I'm finding it very difficult hot to pocket the lot and am trying to think what OPa would do))
Smon:
genghisdon: (heh, made u a dilemma)
Kjato Ragfoot: ((Well, ask a specialist if you need advise
))genghisdon: chaotic GOOD
Mablir Dorlig: (13 diaries would probably weigh more than Opa)
chris107:
Thousands of GPgenghisdon: (u a fighter, not a thief!)
chris107: (In easily concealed jewelrt!)
Kjato Ragfoot: ((Duvader = Fighter + Thief))
genghisdon: (steal it then)
chris107: Opa likes jewelry (and animals)
genghisdon: lol
Eliana Has entered the room
Smon: Morgana goes downstairs with the current diary and the portrait, which is quite large. Garick & Duvader see the portrait of an elegant, glamorous young woman of about 25, with an hourglass figure, rather large breasts, and a somewhat self-satisfied expression.n
genghisdon: "take a good look lads, we need to find her"
Smon: Markle: "That's Victoria. She had that done two years ago."
genghisdon: "how old is this portrait?"
genghisdon: "thanks sir"
chris107: Opa sighs and locks the jewelry box. Putting the key back where she found it.
Smon: Markle: "She's quite tall - 5'7" I think..."
genghisdon: "a lovely young woman of impecable breeding"
genghisdon: "any other physical characteristics that might aid us?"
Smon: Madam Markle: "Well, she has a freckle on her left hip... "
Smon: Madam Markle weeps. "Oh, I do hope she's alright! If anything has happened, I'll never forgive myself!"
genghisdon: "ok...well then, could you tell us what jeweler's shops she frequented?"
genghisdon: "for what dear lady?"
Smon: The couple look at each other.
Smon: "For letting her go out unaccompanied! The streets aren't safe these days, even within the walls!"
chris107: Opa says to madam Markle - You should move your daughters jewelry to a safer place. it's under the bed - the keys under the pillow. best to keep it safe for her return.
genghisdon: "well, it shall become safe again soon, i promise"
genghisdon: (i don't think they know of it)
Smon: Madam Markle nods to Opa. "Thank you, dear."
chris107: (dont want any light fingered servants making off with it and us getting the blame)
genghisdon: "jeweler's? any specific shops the family dealt with?"
Smon: Madam Markle: "She said Zolan's Emporium in the Outs had the best jewelry, but she knew not to go to the Outs unaccompanied."
genghisdon: "maybe not"
chris107: Opa asks Madam Markle about the bucolic Captain Mosely
Smon: Madam Markle: "Mosely? Mosely Montjoy, Sir Reynard's son? He's a lovely boy."
Smon: "He danced with Victoria at the New Year's Ball at the Citadel. They made a lovely couple."
genghisdon: "did you know your daughter was interested in him for a time?"
genghisdon: ok, u did
genghisdon: I'll take the poirtrait back upstairs
chris107: Opa been unused to the ways of the world has a some what jaundiced view of romance - only ever having seen her friends rather 'forward' tactics...
Smon: Madam Markle nods. "But she hardly tells us anything! If I ask when she's getting married, she just laughs at me!"
genghisdon: (she is a lez)
Mablir Dorlig: (Morganna bait)
genghisdon: (yep)
chris107: (Opa wonders if he told his chums that he'd deflowered her)
genghisdon: once upstairs, i do a search for sec doors, pannels ect
Smon: GM: The diary seemed to indicate that Victoria found Captain Montjoy too staid & boring.
genghisdon: i gathered
chris107: (She's still not sure what 'deflowered' actually means)
Smon: GM: Moving forward, you find no secret doors etc and eventually the usher escorts you all out, it's now after 9pm, Corak is waiting outside.
genghisdon: before i go, i get the diary BEFORE this one
Smon: ok
Kjato Ragfoot: ((Opa: He who asks might get answers. He who not asks, will less likely get answers))
Smon: That's Yggs Year 95.
Goonergeezer: garrick to the striker residence
genghisdon: I'll tell them I'm taking them, to read for clues
genghisdon: what is this year?
genghisdon: 96?
Smon: Hektor nods to Morganna. "If you need them, I suppose."
Smon: It's YY 96
chris107: ((Opa thinks it best not to ask and is happy in the thought that whatever it is it probably involves forest gladed and those pretty little purple flowers....)
genghisdon: "i do not know if they will prove useful or not"
Smon: GM: You guys better be quick if you want a fight today
genghisdon: "but i shall return them"
genghisdon: give us streeet thugs
Eliana Has exited the room
genghisdon: brb
Mablir Dorlig: (Don't forget Corak heading back to group)
chris107: me too brb, this glass seems to be empty
Smon: GM: Moving forward, you find no secret doors etc and eventually the usher escorts you all out, it's now after 9pm, Corak is waiting outside.
Goonergeezer: garrick@ ok we got some leads let rest up tonight and visit ablers rasher, this jeweler and zoltan on the morning
Smon: GM: Are you retiring now for an early start, or going somewhere tonight?
Kjato Ragfoot: Retire.
chris107: Retire
Mablir Dorlig: Corak (assuming i've been filled in) would ie worth looking for montejoy(sp?)
chris107: (To dream of easy loot lost by staying in character
)Smon: GM: OK, you can return north to the Hawkes estate, Corak to the Inn.
Smon: Next morning you can assemble early at the Green Dragon.
Smon: You're going to the Haberdasher first?
Mablir Dorlig: (or the ligerie shop)
Goonergeezer: yes and then onto zolans emporium
Kjato Ragfoot: Zolan first.
chris107: Opa @ Group - We need to speak with Captain Montjoy, The Striker twins and visit the shops...
Smon: Haberdasher sells lingerie, it's a big 'department store' complex
genghisdon: wtf? retire?
chris107: lets split up and cover the ground more quickly
Eliana Has entered the room
genghisdon: i think the twins will point us to the shop, but someone pick
chris107: Opa - vote for splitting/staying together?
Goonergeezer: haberdashers, quick visit see igf he remembers her being here on the 20th
Smon: (usually best to stay together to avoid repetition etc)
chris107: Okay
genghisdon: does it help, we still only type as fast
genghisdon: i know we'dd split IRL, but it's a gameism
Smon: (your choice)
genghisdon: stay together
Mablir Dorlig: Corak would prefer sticking together he finds it very difficult to talk with strangers
Goonergeezer: quick then all to albert rashe haberdashers
chris107: Opa's happy to tag along
genghisdon: ok
Smon: GM: Shortly after the great store has opened that morning, you arrive outside Albert Rasch, Haberdasher, the premier supplier of fashionable clothing - and lingerie, and hats - in all Yggsburgh.
genghisdon: take the lead someone...bad cop if u please
Smon: You've been here before, several have bought outfits here, Garrick took a bath in a bathhouse just south of here.
chris107: Opa ogles at such a fine array of lovely things
Goonergeezer: staright in and ask the first person inside the shop serving to speak with mr rasche
chris107: Not poor Opa
)genghisdon: (yes, bought the dress & jewelry I'm wearing)
genghisdon: (thnx flynn & Duvader!)
Smon: The ground floor has the main front show rooms with many lovely things for Opa to ogle, plus coffee and tea bar.
chris107: Opa thinks to herself - few things could be as pretty as my fine elven mail though...
genghisdon: Morganna oggles the nice pretties too
Smon: Main showroom has manikins in fancy garments, 2nd showroom has footwear, belts, hats et al. Lingerie is to the rear, near the fitting rooms, a set for each sex.
genghisdon: to the rear I go
Smon: A salesgirl greets you.
Smon: "Good morning, sirs and ladies"
Mablir Dorlig: Corak will just go red in the face and bow his head in prayer - as far as possible he'll follow Garrick
Goonergeezer: garrick: good morning, would it be p[ossible to speak to mr rasch and the staff please?
Smon: The girl shakes her head. "Mr Rasch is not on the floor. Can I assist?"
genghisdon: "greetings, I'm looking to purchase something i saw a friend in, some lovelies Victoria H bought about a week & a half ago"
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader looks interestingly at some gnome women sized lingery. Hmm.
Smon:
Smon: The girl nods to Morgana. "Our lingerie is here... "
Smon: /roll 1d6
chris107:
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets:
5,genghisdon: "obviously she is much more, endowed than I, but do you know what i am looking for?"
Smon: "We can help you get fitted, if you would like to make a selection and..."
Goonergeezer: garrick: we were wondering if you or any of your staff remember the 20th of this month we would like to know if you remember a Miss Victoria markle visiting that day?
genghisdon: "oh, i can't be sure, do you have a sales record you could check for me?"
Smon: The girl looks puzzled at Morgana and shakes her head. "I'm not familiar with... I can ask the floor manager?"
genghisdon: (sorry gooner, we are going loggerheads)
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader We would appreciate that.
genghisdon: "surely"
Smon: "Excuse me." she goes over to the register desk and talks with an older man, who nods and comes over. "Good morning."
chris107: Opa tries to rid herself of the frightening image of Duv in frilly female knickers
Goonergeezer: ooc s'ok don we will confuse her into giving something away lol
genghisdon: go on
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader Good Morning. We would like to know whether Victoria Markle was here 9 days ago.
Smon: "Miss Victoria Markle is a most valued customer, of course..."
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader and whether she was here since.
Goonergeezer: garrick: good morning sir we are conducting and investigation into the disapearance of miss victoria markle, she went missing on the 20th of this month, would you or any of your staff be able to confirm if she visited your shop that day
Smon: He nods, and checks the register. "I don't have any sales to that name. She normally pays by credit, so I don't think she made a purchase that day."
Mablir Dorlig: Corak @ Garrick (whisper) ask if she ever came here with montejoy?
Smon: /roll 1d6
Goonergeezer: garrick: and could you recall if she ever visited the shop with anyone else?
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets:
6,Smon: /roll 1d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets:
6,Smon: The man scratches his cheek. "I'm sorry, I don't recall."
Smon: He pauses. "Do you mean on other occasions? Yes, she was often here with her lady friends."
Eliana Has exited the room
Goonergeezer: garrick: we have no further questions at this time but we may have in the future, might i enquire youor name sir?
genghisdon: "really? she is well known to associate with the striker sisters, are u sure?"
genghisdon: ok
chris107: Opa @ Man - What a shame, it would help us discover her murderer so much easier if you could. You wouldn't want us to suspect you would you?
Smon: He nods. "I'm Gilbert Taylor."
genghisdon: lol
Smon: He looks startled at Opa. "Murderer?! She's been murdered?!"
genghisdon: "is there a salesperson she prefered to use? esp the one that day?"
genghisdon: "shhh..no, but she IS missing"
Goonergeezer: garrick: ok sir thank you very much, we will not take any more of your time
chris107: Opa looks on straight faced and says nothing
Smon: He thinks. "Hattie.... Hattie was on duty that day. I can fetch her."
genghisdon: "thanks you"
chris107: Opa smiles sweetly - It's so good you remember
Smon: Gilbert goes over to the Dresses area, and comes back with a woman of about 35. "Good morning. How can I help?"
genghisdon: morganna looks a t her with elf+hawk vision "yes"
genghisdon: "we are looking into the disapearance of Victoria Markle"
Smon: The woman is of average looks, slightly birdlike, hair pulled back.
Goonergeezer: garrick: hattie is it? hello my name is garrick, i was wondering if you recall seeing miss victoria markle on the 20th of this month
genghisdon: "could you tell us what she did & said the last time you saw her?"
genghisdon: (ixna the dates)
chris107: (Opa thinks - look out Hattie! Garrick will be after deflowering you)
genghisdon: (at 35 she already is, i hope, opa)
Smon: Hattie squints, thinking hard. "mm... Yes, she was here. She wanted new underwear. She..."
chris107: (Opa thinks that perhaps human women don't get much opportunity to visit the forest glades with pretty purple flowers....)
genghisdon: (morganna is here to guide them, luckily)
chris107:
Smon: Hattie's mouth opens. "Oh. You know, I'm not sure. I seem to recall she went into the changing roooms, but then some other customers caught my attention. I don't recall seeing her after that."
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader The changing room?
genghisdon: "are you certain? that's it?"
chris107: Opa slips off to search for secret doors in the changing rooms
Smon: She looks around. "Perhaps the changing room guard could assist you."
Goonergeezer: garrick: and do you remember who these other customers were, did you recognise them?
Smon: "There was Mrs Richardson, she wanted a stole..."
Goonergeezer: garrick: could you please direct us to him?
chris107: Opa taps the walls for hollow sounds etc.
Mablir Dorlig: Corak @ Gilbert & Hattie "If you remember anything else then contact me at the Green Dragon Inn - it would look bad if something came to light that you couldn't remember" Corak bows and adds "my blessing upon you both"
Smon: Opa goes over to the changing rooms, there are two entrances, male and female, each to a row of cubicles, with a private door at the near end to a security room. A single guard in ringmail stands outside, a small club at his belt.
Smon: /roll 1d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets:
2,chris107: Opa smiles winningly at him and enters the female rooms
Smon: Hattie nods to Corak.
Smon: The guard looks at Opa. "What're you trying on?"
Goonergeezer: finishing with hattie garrick heads towards the changing rooms to speak with the guard
chris107: Opa @ Guard 'Nothing you big strong man i'm just witing for my friend Morgana to pick out some thing pretty. I said I'd wait for her in here...
Smon: Guard: "We don't like people going in there to secrete things about their person..."
Smon: Garick approaches the guard. The man looks a bit nervous.
Mablir Dorlig: (I'm sure Morganna would enjoy a changing room encounter)
chris107: Opa - guileslly - you can search me on the way out if you wish
genghisdon: actually she has gotten bored & went outside to wait
Smon: Guard: "Anyway, there's woman getting changed in number six."
Goonergeezer: garrick: good morning sir, to whom am i adressing?
Smon: The guard turns. "Belfry. Who're you?"
genghisdon: (another day for changing room sexcapades!)
chris107: @ Group - Opa would really like to check for secret 'abducting' doors in the changing rooms
genghisdon: (grab some clothes chris)
Goonergeezer: garrick: i am chief inspector Garrick of a private investigation unit, we were wondering if we could ask you a few questions
chris107: @ DM can she stealthily slip past while the guard is distracted?
Smon: Belfry: "You're a Hawkes man, I can see your tabard..."
genghisdon: (if there is a secret door in there i will choke though...maybe a peep slot for a pervy wanker, but i can't see more)
chris107: (I just don't see how taking nothing in is a theft threat)
Mablir Dorlig: Corak approaches guard "my friend we are looking into a disappearance and would appreciate the help of you and your colleagues in this matter"
chris107: (Think slaver conspiricy with top peoples shop)
Smon: Opa slips past the guard. The first five cubicles are empty, #6 has the curtain drawn and Opa can see stockinged feet underneath.
genghisdon: (it's not ringing for me, but I'll admit, tis possible)
chris107: (She's not been seen since entering these changing rooms after all)
Goonergeezer: garrick: you were on duty on the 20th of this month, do you remember a miss victoria maekle comingg in that day
Smon: Belfry shrugs.
Smon: GM: Opa is able to quickly inspect the first 5 cubicles, not detecting anything. Is she waiting for the occupant of the 6th to exit?
Goonergeezer: garrick whispers @ belfry "sir, you do not appreciate the severity of this situation a young lady has been missing for 10 days now and all you can do is shrug?
chris107: (Opa quietly taps and checks away, sitting quietly behind the curtain of no. 5 if nothing is revealed until the incumbent leaves.
Mablir Dorlig: (still think the spurned lover is more likely than the lingerie)
chris107: (Me too but best to check while we're here)
Goonergeezer: garrick gives belfry 1 gold piece " now lets start again shall we?
chris107: (Nothing to come back for then)
Goonergeezer: do you remmeber miss markle on that day?#
Smon: Belfry: "I just guard this place, I..." Garrick hands over the coin. At this point an attractive red-haired woman emerges from the 6th changing cubicle in lacy black lingerie. She calls to the guard: "Please call the salesgirl, I'd like some assistance..." she looks at Garrick, who is standing at the entrance to the lady's changing rooms, and frowns.
Smon: Opa is able to slip into the last room - yes, there around the mirror is the faint outline of a door in the back wall.
Goonergeezer: garrick@ lady i am sorry madam i have been asking belfry here some questions as to the disapearance of miss markle
chris107:
she returns to tell her chums off thisSmon: The redhead looks at Garrick. "Excuse me!"
Goonergeezer: garrick looks away
Smon: She blushes slightly - her underwear is quite skimpy. Belfry nods to the woman. "I'll fetch the salesgirl..."
chris107: Opa @ Group - There is a very well concealed secret door in changing room 6. Find out if that was where our missing girl went...
chris107: Or lets slip through
genghisdon: (go in it)
Smon: Opa comes up to Garrick, who is standing beside a redhead lady in lacy black underwear.
chris107: Opa slips back and tries to flit through the secret door.
genghisdon: (morganna regrets not heading back there now)
chris107: While all are distracted
genghisdon: (i can't belive it BTW)
Smon: GM: Only Garrick is in sight, Opa. Duvader is probably nearby though.
genghisdon: (prob an old man wanking it behind there)
chris107: (It was another Carry On Film that gave me the idea - Carry On Screaming)
Smon:
Goonergeezer: (thats my fave carry on film
chris107: ((Even if it is Don, that will be useful information to maybe use when talking to the Striker twins, they'll want to know about it surely?)
Smon: GM: Is Garrick following Opa?
genghisdon: can he?
Goonergeezer: wheer has belfry gone?
Smon: Physically, yes.
genghisdon: (sure, go Opa)
chris107: (9Brave 15HP Opa!))
Mablir Dorlig: (unless the twins are behind there looking on)
Smon: Belfry is going over to the young salesgirl you first met.
chris107:
Eliana Has entered the room
chris107: Opa's slipping through regardless
Goonergeezer: garrick willl quickly follow ope while belfry is distracted
genghisdon: (15 hp more than salesgirls & belry's)
Smon: GM; As far as I can tell Opa just told Garrick about the secret door in front of the redhead woman?
chris107: ((Opa feels quite fierce, grrrrr!)
genghisdon: lol...what does she think about the secret door? LOL
Smon: GM: Opa goes back to the changing room - the redhead woman's clothes are in there. "Hey!" she yells as she sees Garrick go in there too.
chris107: @ GM - That wasn't the intention but I'll go with your call Simon
genghisdon: @ DM if Morganna notices a commotion she goes to check it out
Smon: OOC; You said 'to group' but the group wasn't together & there were NPCs around, let's let it stand
Mablir Dorlig: @ DM wasn't Corak there with Garrick (I did speak to Belfry)
chris107: No problem
genghisdon: (tell the woman about the S door, what can it hurt now?)
Smon: GM: Opa gets the secret door open, it rotates with a creak, revealing a narrow unlit tunnel. To the left it ends in a door. To the right steps lead down.
chris107: (I agree)
Smon: GM: OK Corak follows Garrick?
Goonergeezer: garrick@ opa let get the others and come back
chris107: (Opa feels quite giddy)
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader @ woman Stop yelling, there are no nude women in there, are there?
Smon: GM: Did Morgana go outside?
genghisdon: (at mention of nude women, Morganna's hawk/elf eyes look for her)
Mablir Dorlig: Defo - Corak regards Garrick as his best friend
chris107: Opa @ Garrick - You get them deary, I'll just quietly scout the start...
genghisdon: sure, was what i said
Smon: Morgana is unaware of events inside then.
Goonergeezer: corak with me you get the others i'll get belfry
genghisdon: (curses!)
Goonergeezer: garrick exits and makes his way towards belfry
chris107: (Opa's really quite bright brain thinks she should wait for Duv to check for traps)
genghisdon: (so wait, cause an uproar if need be, what are u guys worried about?)
chris107: Opa goes a few feet in and waits for her infravision to 'tune in'
genghisdon: (if we can handle bandits, we can handle haberdashers)
Smon: GM: Belfry returns with the salesgirl, the redhead is standing there, they all look at your group in the changing room & corridor. Redhead: "Get out of there! That's my changing room!"
chris107: Looking for any heat sources, like very recent departing foot prints...
Mablir Dorlig: Corak goes and rounds up the others
chris107: (Ha Ha!)
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader @Redhead did you pay for it?
Smon: Redhead looks at Duvader: "My clothes are in there!"
Kjato Ragfoot: Not to mention, we do not need your room, only the secret door behind.
Goonergeezer: garrick: madam could you please get the city guard, this man here needs to be taken into custody for further questioning
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader That problem can be easily solved.
genghisdon: (let her get dressed first?)
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader goes into the room and hand the clothes over to the redhead.
chris107: brb - another glass seems to have evaporated. Must be the heat from the fire
Smon: The salesgirl looks at Duvader: "What?!" Behind her you see Belfry take a step back, then turn and run!
Goonergeezer: garrick runs for him trying to overbear him
genghisdon: aha! come to me, wretched man!
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader @ Morganna Catch Belfry!
Goonergeezer: garrick shouting" stop that man
genghisdon: elf ears pick that up simon?
Mablir Dorlig: How far away is Corak? Command "Halt"

chris107: (Thirsty work this dog slaying, brb)

Mablir Dorlig: Corak: Duvader you look injured do you need curing?
Smon: Corak sees light behind him, then Garick enters the room.
chris107: Opa rushes to get the key

Smon: Could be a medusa?
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader Thanks Corak.
Mablir Dorlig: (Prob not back to full but thats it for today)
genghisdon: (poor girl)
chris107: OOC - But who planned this foul deed? And was she the first?)
Smon: Opa, you removing the hood?
genghisdon: (doubtful)
genghisdon: (secret rooms & such implies more than causual effort)
Mablir Dorlig: (never got the chance to try and rugby tackle the dog while unable to see)
chris107: Yes, Opa is moved by concern and not on her guard
genghisdon: unless hissing & movement demand she think it is a medusa...
Smon: Duvader is on 11/13. Opa removes the hood, sees Victoria, gagged and terrified looking. She removes the gag and unlocks the girl's chains, then Garrick can drape a cloak around her.
chris107: (She's never even heard of a medusa, a simple forrest girl, our Opa)
genghisdon: which would also be crazy, but I'm 0/2 2 day
Eliana Has exited the room
Kjato Ragfoot: The other cells are empty? Duvader will search them anyway.
Smon: Corak & Duvader, you can see a narrow crevice in the left wall, enough for a man to pass through. It opens into a rough-hewn narrow tunnel sloping down. There is a slight breeze.
Smon: The other cdlls are empty, one shows signs of use, but several weeks ago.
Mablir Dorlig: Who is here at the moment
chris107: Opa comforts the poor child.
genghisdon: everyone but me & flynn
genghisdon: (am i chasing the belfry still?)
Smon: GM: Corak Duvader Garrick Opa. Morgana returns a couple minutes later and can join them as Opa comforts the traumatised Victoria.
Smon: I'll stop shortly.
Mablir Dorlig: Corak @ Garrick (loud enough for rest to hear) do we get Victoria back home or do we take this lead now
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader Let's return Victoria. The labyrinth won't run away.
Smon: OOC: Well done actually, I wasn't sure you'd find her. Lots of false leads.
Goonergeezer: how far away is mr markles house?
genghisdon: "we can do both, yes let's get her home"
chris107: Opa @ Group, this is a scandal. We must return poor Victoria to her loving parents then find out what is going on here!
genghisdon: "agreed"
Smon: About 1/2 mile to the Markle house.
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader The owner will probably be thankful if we investigate the labyrith.
genghisdon: "you think the owner isn't in on it? really?"
chris107: Opa - If he's not involved in the first place
Goonergeezer: garrick at group quickly then i dont want the trail to go cold belfry is going to inform his masters they have been found out
chris107: Opa - How would one build these secret ways without the owners knowledge?
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader If he is, Sir Markle and Sir Hawkes will be able to put up sufficient pressure to let us in.
genghisdon: for far to the Hawkes?
Mablir Dorlig: Corak @ all "lets also get this placed closed until we can ensure that that it is safe for everyone, we have some degree of prestige with the authorities"
Smon: Victoria weeps in Opa's arms.
genghisdon: how far to the Hawkes?
Goonergeezer: garrick: @ grouip whoever is fasteset go to the markle house and get her parents
chris107: Opa speaks gently to the girl.
genghisdon: Morganna is unarmored so she runs off
chris107: reassuring her she's safe now
Smon: GM: The room you're in, the stairs down & the cells, all look like original construction. The crevice in the left wall looks new.
Smon: /roll 1d100+5
Smon rolls 1d100+5 and gets:

chris107: Opa - If Morganna has gone to fetch this childs parents, we should stay here.
chris107: Opa gives her, her water skin
Smon: Morganna, you run out. The floor manager calls out to you: "I'm going to get the Owner!"
Smon: on the shop floor
genghisdon: "you do that, he has much to answer for!"
genghisdon: morganna runs off to the Markles
Smon: Victoria drinks eagerly, water running down her chin and neck.
Smon: Victoria: "They grabbed me... in the changing room..."
chris107: Opa casts a beady adventurers eye over the huge hound - any diamond studded, platinum collars?
genghisdon: lol
Smon: It has an iron-studded leather collar.
chris107: +3?
Smon: LOL
Mablir Dorlig: (may suit Morganna)

ReplyDeleteXP for session: 550 per PC present.
ReplyDeletegarick asks if it wouold be alright if we attached a message to lightning informing Sir ulrich
ReplyDelete" Markle rescued. Haberdashers shop implicated, slavery ring, hot on trail."
GM: I checked the log - Morgana definitely did stop her pursuit of Belfry and indicated she was returning to the Haberdashers:
ReplyDelete>>genghisdon: "lightning keep on the man"
chris107: Curses!
genghisdon: "let him go for now fellas"
Smon: /roll 1d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 3,
genghisdon: "lets check this place out"<<
So, she was going back when Lightning returned to report seeing Belfry go down into the sewers. She joined the others in the dungeon beneath the Haberdashers, then left to race over to the Markles and report the rescue of Victoria.
