genghisdon: corum & mablir coming?
chris107: Hope so. It's going to be a tough enough fight even with them.
Smon: The game is designed to work fine w variable players. I think in future I'll stick to 7pm Sat + Thurs for whoever turns up.
Goonergeezer: everyone said thery could make it so i assume so
genghisdon: maybe not, it should turn human (or ogre or whatever) soon, at dawn?
genghisdon: easy pickens
Smon: But I did a clifhanger end on Thurs so I wanted everyone here tonight.
chris107: Half HP and it's wolfness for some one Don. We're prime candidates with having the lowest HP

death_jester: NOW?
Smon: @Gooner - so, I did a big update on the Hawkes clan, stuff Garrick could have found out over the past 2 weeks in his planning.
Goonergeezer: i cant even think about food i have shoved my face all day
death_jester: Am I interrputing the game?
genghisdon: gotta rescue a hottie lesbian bar wench from a giant werewolf
genghisdon: not yet

genghisdon: bye DJ
genghisdon: elfin mail rules
death_jester Has exited the room
chris107: @ Morgana - I daren't let it escape with the young woman. I'd love to get off even a couple more shots but think I'm going to have to sprint in with my dragon's tooth dagger.
genghisdon: though i would have expected a WW to have more than 12
genghisdon: sure, use a silver one too!
Mablir Dorlig Has entered the room
genghisdon: d3/d3 huzza!
genghisdon: hi mablir
Mablir Dorlig: Hi all, sorry 'm a little late
genghisdon: not at all
Goonergeezer: had a quick read just now but will look again tomorrow, do i know if any priest can perform a marriage or does it have to be a high ranking one?
chris107: (( And Simons house rules on bow range mean I can't just keep taking pot shots in the hope of bringing the horror down ))
chris107: Hey Mab
Kjato Ragfoot: Gooner You can always go with me to the Thorn Hague clan and get married by a gnome priest.
genghisdon: i am still unsure it IS a horror...it never attacked people before
Mablir Dorlig: Have I missed anything?
chris107: Not yet
genghisdon: nope, just waiting for everyone/planning
genghisdon: info on hawk clan
Goonergeezer: i want to try to get it done by a recognised priest, i dont know if the kallient's would accept a gnome priest
Smon: prob be 5 mins
genghisdon: http://smonsyggsburgh.blogspot.com/2011/12/nobles.html -
Kjato Ragfoot: Gnome have the same priests as everyone else, I think.
Premier Has entered the room
Kjato Ragfoot: And there are probably gnomish bishops for each clan.
Goonergeezer: of course if i can get her up the duff then they might want me to marry her
Premier: hi all
Premier: Strange, the Finn is not here.
chris107: hi
genghisdon: hi premier
genghisdon: he comes & goes
Premier Has exited the room
Premier Has entered the room
genghisdon: though mainly in the lounge

Premier: stupid hangup. So, what are you talking about?
genghisdon: Simons Ygsburg gaME
chris107: Just about to get eaten by a giant werewolf
genghisdon: whatever else u like, till we start in 5
genghisdon: It's wounded, & i feel lucky
genghisdon: gooner will do d12
chris107: Must admit to feeling lucky too.
Kjato Ragfoot: chris107 If you are lucky, you just get infected and can eat people yourself.
Goonergeezer: just gotta be a bit faster into the fight
Premier: Heh. Just had my first game of Savage Worlds today.
genghisdon: i'm sticking with elves don't go were
chris107: Oh but what terrible problems all the shaving would cause poor Opa
Premier: I have some reservations about "Universal" systems, but it was really fun. Sci-fi.
genghisdon: cool
Kjato Ragfoot: Ah, she just has to turn furry.
Smon: ok back
genghisdon: what style? star wars, BSG, Star Trak?
chris107: Keep looking at Traveller Prem... Is it similar?
Smon: Re priests - any priest of the Great Church can perform a legal marriage.
Premier: style: sort of Traveller meets Firefly.
genghisdon: cool
genghisdon: i love firefly
Smon: OK, gonna start now.
chris107: Furry? Opa shrieks at the prospect
genghisdon: no comment/XP with traveller
genghisdon: heh
genghisdon: ok
Premier: We did a space station heist, pretending to be maintenance workers and stealing to barrels of medicines which we delviered to a Renaissance-level planet. They needed the medicine for the cattle.
Smon: GM: Flynn is summoning his hawk to spot the werewolf, the rest of you are chasing after it.
genghisdon: "Shite Hawk, follow the beast & call out to guide us! Opa, you are fastest, keep it in sight if you can! The rest of us, Run!"
Bloated Blowfish Has entered the room
Smon: In bipedal form and carrying Mara, it's no faster than Opa & Duvader.
Goonergeezer: good good. Garrick eyes Corak and smiles
chris107: Opa @ Woolfie - 'Come back!'
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader Bah. Wolf hunts in the morning. I hate those.
chris107: Hi BB
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader runs after the wolf.
genghisdon: hi bb
Premier: (Anyway, don't let me keep you from your game. Kinda busy, too. Have fun.)
Smon: Morgana summoning, sorry
Mablir Dorlig: Could probably do with slowing it down somehow
genghisdon: (sounds like u had fun, later premier)
chris107: Opa grips her dragonstooth dagger and lunges after the beast.
Bloated Blowfish: (Hiya guys
)
Premier Has exited the room
Smon: GM: It runs fleet-footed through the village, you chasing after.
Goonergeezer: Garrick chases after opa trying vaunly to keep up with her
Goonergeezer: vainly
genghisdon: as do I
genghisdon: valiantly too

chris107: Super fit Opa!
Mablir Dorlig: (I'm no use in the fight anyway - I need to be the ambulance)
genghisdon: u might make it, what is your con?
Smon: Only Corak failed?
genghisdon: con 13+ for Corak?
Smon: GM: You chase it south-west out of the village, it bolts towards a copse of trees.
Mablir Dorlig: Think I just made it then (don't have Char sheet to hand)
Smon: !
genghisdon: how long till full dawn?
Smon: Corak: http://smonsyggsburgh.blogspot.com/2011/12/corak-ap-daryl-human-cleric.html

Smon: maybe a bit less
Mablir Dorlig: Con 14
genghisdon: so u run on too!
genghisdon: ok, thnx simon
genghisdon: do we get to the trees?
Smon: GM: Realising that Duvader and Opa are about to reach it, it drops Mara amidst the green shoots of wheat in the field, and turns to face you...
Smon: Other PCs are 3 rounds/270' away.
Smon: I mean 360' since it takes r4 to get to it & attack
chris107: @ DM - If Opa charges does she loose dex bonus for AC?

Kjato Ragfoot: AC 5 normal, shield AC 4.
Smon: So you're AC 4
Smon: I included -4 on the die roll

Smon: Mara gets to her feet, muddy, and runs towards Morgana, wide-eyed with fear.

genghisdon: naw, I'll run again
Smon: anyone shooting? No?
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader is to busy getting away from the claws to hit, too.
Goonergeezer: nope
Smon: GM: Seeing that Mara has escaped, the beast drops to all fours, assuming full wolf-form, and sprints for the copse. Duvader & Opa get 1 attack each at +2

Smon: whacks, ok
Smon: Battered and bleeding, the beast sprints into the copse (180' speed) and disappears from view.
Smon: Mara runs up to Morgana and collapses into her welcoming arms.
corum Has entered the room
genghisdon: (he can't escape Shite hawk though?)
chris107: He y Corum
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader. So. After getting soaked and beaten and got the girl back, may we finally sleep?
Mablir Dorlig: Corak will go and CLW on Duvader (hopes the hawk will follow it)
chris107: Just in time to track!
genghisdon: "I was so worried, did it bite you?"
Smon: Flynn comes running up in the field time to see Morgana embrace a muddy, nude Mara
genghisdon: hi Corum
corum: hey all!
Mablir Dorlig: Hi C
Goonergeezer: hiyas
Mablir Dorlig rolls 1d8 and gets:
7,
genghisdon: nicew
Smon: Duvader back to full!
Mablir Dorlig: (one healthy gnome)
corum: Flynn "Hi Mara!"
Smon: Mara sobs: "It was in my room! I had a terrible nightmare.. And it was there all along!"
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader: Ah. Much better. Thanks.
Smon: She shivers in the pre-dawn chill.
Goonergeezer: garrick removes his cloak for her and hand it
genghisdon: "come Mara. lets get you back to the Inn...the rest of you, I'll catch up as I can...Listen for Shite hawk's calls"
Goonergeezer: to her74
chris107: Opa @ Flynn - Can you track it Flynnie?
genghisdon: "you poor thing!"
Smon: Mara nods gratefully to Garrick and puts the cloak on.
chris107: We may never get another chance with it this weak.
corum: ((track what? i missed that bit!))
Kjato Ragfoot: The werewolf.
genghisdon: (the werewolf)
Mablir Dorlig: (Unless it's one of the Clerics and reverts to human and CLW's itself a bit)
chris107: Opa - Come on chaps! Lets finish this...
Smon: Morgana escorts a grateful but weak-kneed Mara back towards the Inn. Several men have come out the front door, including Father Bramble, hefting a mace..
corum: ((oh k))
corum: Flynn attempts to track the werewolf!
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader I demand at least a week free stay at the Inn, with wine, chees and boar steak.
chris107: Opa - Looks for obvious tracks where the wolf slipped amongst the trees.
Smon: Flynn looks down - there are obvious wolf tracks.
genghisdon: "The werewolf tried to abduct poor Mara, but my friends Opa & Duvader saved her! Get her inside while we finish the beast!"
Smon: /roll 1d100
Smon rolls 1d100 and gets:10,
genghisdon: After Mara is safe, I rush after the party
Smon: Flynn tracks the wolf into the copse. It zigs & zags, then the tracks break cover, heading SW towards the Ashwood.
genghisdon: (can i see/sense where it/shite hawk are?)
Smon: Father Bramble nods to Morgana. To Mara: "You poor child! Let me comfort you!"
chris107: Opa knocks a silver arrow and loosens more. Following Flynn.
Smon: The hawk lands on Morgana's shoulder. ~Big wolf broke cover, heading for big forest.~
corum: Flynn will track just in front of the group
Mablir Dorlig: (lucky father Bramble)
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader grumbles, but follows as well.
corum: Flynn gets a sliver bolt ready
genghisdon: "damn it shite hawk! couldn't u follow it?"
Smon: Bramble escorts Mara inside, Morgana races back towards the copse.
Smon: ok Flynn make another track roll, 90% chance.
corum rolls 1d100 and gets:64,
corum: Flynn signals in SW direction to Opa
Smon: ~I don't appreciate that tone, Shite Elf. You said to report back.~
genghisdon: no i didn't
genghisdon: but too late now
chris107: Opa stealthily stalks the vile creature. Arrow drawn
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader simply runs along.
genghisdon: me too
Smon: Flynn follows the tracks SW past the east edge of the hills. Morgana catches up. You enter the Ashwood as the sun is cresting over the Grey Pools Mire to the east.
corum: Flynn speeds up hoping to catch the beast before the change
Kjato Ragfoot: ((Why? It would be much easier to kill after the change))
Smon: In a clearing ahead, you see a naked man lying, badly wounded by the look of him.
Smon: Short and stout, he looks familiar - the Innkeep!
Smon:
chris107: Opa approaches but with her arrow ready for quick fire.
genghisdon: "the bugger...i wonder if they all are weres"
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader huffs.
Smon: (You see, he smelled of the Big House, and he smelled like the PCs who drank beer - not Duvader)
Smon: He seems unconscious.
genghisdon: "want to explain yourself man?"
chris107:
corum: ((Flynn wont kill a defenceless human))
Smon: "*mmble*" he says in his sleep.
genghisdon: I rope his hands
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader OK. Let's get him back. Perhaps we get a bounty for turning a werewolf in or something.
chris107: Opa @ Group - Should we finish it, or interrogate it?
genghisdon: "get up!"
genghisdon: "we don't need to kill him"
Goonergeezer: garrick: lets take him to a priest to be cures
Goonergeezer: cured
chris107: Opa @ Flynn - Tis not a human fair Flynn. You did not see it in beast form.
corum: Flynn "rope him up and lets head back to hawfair, nothing will be gained by his murder"
Smon: The Innkeep wakes as Morgana starts tying him. "Whu?"
genghisdon: is he still asleep after i tied his hands & shake him?
corum: "the villagers will not thank us!"
genghisdon: ok
genghisdon: "get up werewolf!"
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader The villagers will never know if we kill him and tell him he transformed from wolf form after death.
Smon: The man shakes his head. "Whu? Why? Oh, the pain...!"
Kjato Ragfoot: But still, let's return him. Perhaps this annoying priest is good for something else than staring at naked shoulders.
genghisdon: They will know the innkeep is missing, plus his daughters & even wife might be weres
Smon: Morgana gets him to his feet. He looks bewildered.
genghisdon: "get up, and get moving! and figure out how you became a wolf!"
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader Duh, we bring the dead Innkeep back, say he was the werewolf and we had to kill him.
Smon: You start marching him back towards Hawfair Green, 2 miles off.
Mablir Dorlig: How did he become a were if it is not someone else in the village spreading the disease
Smon: The man blanches. "Please don't kill me?!"
genghisdon: "why so bloodthirsty, he is probably just a man acursed?"
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader Why bloodthirsty? I speculate on a bounty for a dead werewolf.
genghisdon: "that will be up to your felow villagers"
Smon: He looks desperately at Corak. "Don't let them kill me, Father!"
genghisdon: "every bounty thus far has been more for alive, so that doesn't wash
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader Hmm. True. OK, let's get him back.
Mablir Dorlig: Corak @ Innkeep "Then tell us how you were infected"
genghisdon: (yes)
corum: Flynn will track the way back
Smon: "Infected? You mean the wolf? I was out picking spring mushrooms in the Ashwood..."
corum: scouting ahead
Smon: "...It bit me! Was I... Was I infected?"
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader No. You ARE infected.
Mablir Dorlig: And there is another one around
chris107:
genghisdon: "yes" @ Corak "can you pray for detect evil today, so as to check his family for an evil taint?"
Smon: "I... I didn't hurt anyone, did I?"
genghisdon: "almost, but no"
genghisdon: "you secretly lust after Mara, don't you?"
Mablir Dorlig: Seems reasonable - no one among us seems to be injured
Smon: "I've had strange dreams... And sometimes I woke up here, in the forest..."
Mablir Dorlig: Next time I learn spells 4 Detect Evil
Smon: "I thought I must be sleepwalking."
genghisdon: "I'm afraid not"
Smon: "...Mara..." He blushes.
Smon: He looks down, reddening.
genghisdon: "unless a high priest can help you, you will need to be confined every full moon"
Smon: "...I didn't hurt her, did I?"
genghisdon: "yes, I thought so"
genghisdon: "lets go see"
Mablir Dorlig: Corak @ innkeep "When were you bitten?"
chris107: brb just popping out for a fag
corum: @DM how far are we from hawfair?
Smon: brb
genghisdon: ok
Smon: You leave the trees, a mile or so to Hawfair.
Smon: "I was bitten... Just 3 months back, in Firstmonth. There was an early thaw, and the snowcap mushrooms were out..."
Smon: "There was patches of snow on the ground... then the wolf came..."
Smon: You march though the fields back to the village.
chris107: Back
corum: Flynn will hang back now and let the elves do the talking!
Smon: As you approach the Leaping Trout Inn, you see a crowd gathered, among them the Innkeep's wife, looking distraught at the sight of him.
Smon: "STANLEY?!" she cries.
genghisdon: "ho townsfolk! your werewolf in his human form!"
Smon: "Stanley Shepherd?! What has become of you?!"
chris107: ((Very Carry on Werewolf that Simon))
Smon: (that's the name in the book!)
Smon: The villagers and fair-goers gather round.
Smon: Stanley blushes and looks down. "It's true, dear."
genghisdon: "Stanley seems not to know what has befallen him, since getting bit by a wolf in the woods, does anyone recall him getting bitten?"
genghisdon: "about 3 months ago?"
chris107: Opa @ Crowd - Or has he taken any bites at you?
Smon: His wife looks down.
Eliana Has entered the room
chris107: Opa - 'Madam?'
genghisdon: "he HAS infected you as well then?"
Smon: Stanley: "I didn't bite anyone! I might have mentioned the bite, it was just a big wolf..."
genghisdon: (hi Eli)
Eliana sneak in... on the tip of her toes...
Smon: hi El
chris107: Hi Eliana
Eliana: (Hi...!)
genghisdon: "can one of your good clerics, father Bramble, cast a spell to detect evil?"
Smon: The wife nods: "You have been behaving awful strange, Stanley. Coming home all hours..."
Smon: Bramble nods, and gestures to another Cleric. The man prays.
Smon: "The Innkeep does not detect as Evil."
genghisdon: "then it cannot detect a lycanthrope"
genghisdon: "pity"
Smon: Stanley: "All those chickens, and pigs... I'm sorry. I'll make it up to people."
chris107: Opa @ Group - @perchance it is only in bestial form that the creature is evil?'
genghisdon: "it is ultimately up to you, good villagers, to decide what to do with Stanley, but if he is confined securely on the full moon nights, he could still live among you"
genghisdon: "he didn't seem overly evil even in wolf form, but he is still very dangerous"
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader Of course, the wolf that bit him might still be around. You should take precautions.
genghisdon: "we can hunt it, perhaps, at a later date"
chris107: Opa - Should we perhaps hunt the creature down?
genghisdon: Morganna "yeah"
genghisdon: Morganna @ villagers "what say you?"
Mablir Dorlig: Haven'y you already promised to accompany the clerics on their pilgrimage
Bloated Blowfish Has entered the room
genghisdon: yes
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader We hardly got this reluctant werewolf down, how should we stand against a furious werewolf?
Smon: The villagers look nervous. "Stanley Shephard is our Reeve for the City... Usually he decides stuff" says one.
genghisdon: "do you have a strong gaol here?"
chris107: Opa - And surely the clerics would want us to secure the village first?
Smon: MIss Jessip Littler speaks up: "We should chain him securely, then gather round and have a mass debate."
genghisdon: "he is no threat right now, but yes, have a debate"
Goonergeezer: garrick: there is nothing bettre than a mass-debaTE
Smon: Villager: "We don't have a jail - we lock bad sorts in the Inn cellar."
Goonergeezer: GARRICK ROLLS ON THE FLOOR LAUGHING
genghisdon: i untie him
chris107: Ooohhh!!!!!
chris107: Garick!
genghisdon: "he may have to go to Yggsburgh then"
Smon: Villagers take Stanley into the Inn to chain him in his own cellar.
chris107: Opa blushes
genghisdon: "i am tired & going to see Mara"...Morganna heads off
Smon: Miss Littler: "We will decide what to do. Thank you. adventurers." She nods to Duvader.
Smon: Bramble: "I doubt you can pick up this other werewolf's trail, three months cold..."
Smon: Morgana heads upstairs and knocks on Mara's door. "C-come in."
corum: Flynn nods
genghisdon: "how are you dearie?"
Goonergeezer: Garrick: im sorry i dont know what came over me
corum: Flynn @ bramble "perhaps it would be wise to accompany you - you may need a guard"
Smon: Morgana enters, seeing Mara on her bed, now wearing a rather skimpy negligee. "Oh, Morgana! Thank you for coming!" she holds out her arms to the elf-maid.
genghisdon: I go into her embrace
chris107: Opa retires exhausted (after unstringing her bow) to the common room to sleep the rest of the night away.
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader If that is cleared then, I'd like to get a breakfast. And some sleep.
Smon: Outside, Fr Bramble nods, looking around. "Aye... this place has more than its share of demons!" He looks down at Duvader. "You were right, I think."
genghisdon: "the werewolf is Stanley...and the village needs to decide what to do about him...but if they keep him here, YOU might need to leave here"
Smon: Mara hugs Morgana tight, kissing her cheek. "Stout, the Innkeep? But he's been like a father to me..." she looks thoughtful.
genghisdon: "I think he loves you, in some fashion, which is why the curse brought him to you"
Smon: Fr Bramble, outside: "Lust, and Gluttony... Two sides of the same coin, methinks. Anyway, you lot get your rest, and we'll leave an hour past noon. We can still do 5 hours' walk today."
genghisdon: "he is dangerous when the moon is full"
Goonergeezer: garrick will grab some breakfast and get his head down for a few hours
Smon: Mara: "Loves me? He never said anything. He seemed happy... He has six children, you know."
Mablir Dorlig: Forget the DE I'll have a think about spells after some sleep
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader will do the same as Garrick.
corum: Flynn will rest
Smon: Mara looks nervous. "I am afraid. Stay with me, Morgana."
Smon: Most of you bed down.
genghisdon: "I might be wrong, but I think so...and I am happy to stay"
Smon: Mara: "Let me help you get that armour off..."
genghisdon: "yes, it was too heavy today"
genghisdon: a few kises & some snuggles will do it for M, she is exhausted
Smon: Mara helps Morgana strip, then kisses her again, eyes lidded, body pressing against her... Will the Elf resist her Sapphic charms?
Smon:
genghisdon: nope
Smon: 15 minutes later, Mara looks down at the fast-asleep Elf maid, and sighs.
genghisdon: next time Mara...
Smon: GM: You all sleep until past noon, then wake for lunch feeling much better.
genghisdon: @ Mara "we will have a chance to do more soon, I promise"
Smon: Mara nods, slightly tearful, as Morgana gets dressed. "You're leaving now?"
genghisdon: once lunch is ordered "thanks for waitinbg for us brothers"
genghisdon: (back to Mara) "we said we would escort the priests, but I'll be back'
Smon: Mara sighs. "I would like that."
genghisdon: "me too" give her a big kiss
Smon: Downstairs, Morgana joins the group, Mara waiting a moment before entering behind in her barmaid's outfit.
Smon: Fr Bramble chuckles, cutting into a pork loin. "Welcome, ladies!"
Smon: Stanley's daughters at the bar are looking very worried.
genghisdon: "thanks for waiting for us, brothers...how have the townsfolk decided?"
Smon: Mara speaks to them, then serves you lunch.
Goonergeezer: garrick: why so worried ladies?
Smon: Fr Bramble: "They have not decided yet, but most likely Stanley 'Stout' Shephard will be freed under observation, except for ten days around the full moon. Otherwise they would have to kill him. He cannot be cured at this juncture, to my knowledge."
Smon: "They're holding a vote tonight, after the Fair ends."
Smon: The girls just look at Garrick.
Goonergeezer: garrick: but they could decide upon killing him though
genghisdon: "he was one BIG werewolf...I fear the inn cellar is inadequate to hold him"
genghisdon: "perhaps the authorities at Yggsburgh would be able to help"
Smon: Bramble nods. "Excellent pork..."
Smon: "The boar was slain by you?"
Goonergeezer: Garrick: surely we cannot leave while there is still a chance of his murder
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader Come werewolves in different sizes?
genghisdon: "Opa & I, yes, good is it?"
Smon: Bramble: "mm, yes. I do love a good roast."
genghisdon: Morganna digs into her boar
genghisdon: @ Garrick "we should see this through, I agree"
chris107: Opa has a dainty piece of pork.
Smon: Fr Bramble: "As I understand it, he has only slain chickens and three pigs, and it is questionable whether he can legally be executed in return."
genghisdon: "would you be willing to wait a day Father Bramble?"
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader mumbles As if legal restrictions had ever bothered a mob.
Smon: Bramble shakes his head. "We cannot risk missing the anniversary. It's a most Holy day."
Goonergeezer: garrick: rather than his murder i would see us taking him back to yggsburgh and healing the poor man of his affliction
genghisdon: "good, I don't believe he should be killed, just confined when needed"
genghisdon: "would you hold it ill of us if we remained here?"
Smon: Bramble: "Well, if anyone can help, it would be the Bishop. I can write you a letter of introduction if you wish."
Smon: "If you wish to take him to Yggsburgh."
Goonergeezer: garrick if we are to go with the proiests then we should take this man with us if just to keep him safe from the possibility of a lynching
genghisdon: "that would be wondeful, thank you"
genghisdon: wonderful
Smon: Bramble nods. "This seems the wisest course." He takes out parchment & quill, writes a brief note, then signs it & seals with candlewax and the stamp from his signet ring.
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader Uh? Have we suddenly become werewolf sitters or something?
genghisdon: @ party "what say you all? what should we do? I vote to see this werewolf saga out"
Goonergeezer: would any of you object if stanley came with us if he wanted to?
genghisdon: "no"
Mablir Dorlig: Not really
genghisdon: "we could even take him on the pilgramage, for now"
chris107: 'No......'
genghisdon: OOC : but i know Opa needs training in Yggsburg
Goonergeezer: garrick: indeed let stanley come with us if thats what he wants
Smon: Bramble hands Morgana the note. "Take that and the prisoner to the Grand Temple. Ask for Bishop Oldham."
chris107: OOC Opa only has 21GP to her name
genghisdon: "Oldham, got it, & thank you"
genghisdon: "would u like us to accompany u WITH Stanley?"
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader Could someone brief me what we are up to know? Finding gnomes, escorting priests, sitting werewolfs?
Bloated Blowfish Has exited the room
genghisdon: all of the above, we are multitaskers
Goonergeezer: all 3 i think
genghisdon: (i need the extra xp!)
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader shakes his head. Oh well.
Mablir Dorlig: (don't we all)
Smon: Bramble: "Some of the Fairgoers are heading north, we're going to journey with them up to Edgewood now. God's fortune go with you - I suggest you get Stanley down there today. I will inform the villagers."
chris107: ((So is happy to carry on adventuring))
genghisdon: (yes, we need to get u trained too Mablir!)
Goonergeezer: the gnomes and the priests escort are in the same area and stanley can just tag along
Smon: He rises, speaks to the barmaids, then exits.
genghisdon: "It sounds lime Bramble prefer us to bring Stanley to Yggsburgh, so lets do that"
Smon: OOC: Fr Bramble told you to take Stanley south to Yggsburgh while he goes north to Gaxhill.
genghisdon: like
genghisdon: "farewell Bramble"
genghisdon: to the daughters of stanley "we will try to get whatever help we can for your dad, fear not"
Mablir Dorlig: let's go south then - we can always return with Stanley after he is cured"
Smon: While you finish dining, Bramble is gone a short while, then returns. "I have told MIss Littler and a few others. They agree it is best you take him to Yggsburgh."
Mablir Dorlig: Corak @ Bramble "Fare thee well holy one"
genghisdon: "perhaps we will catch that foul swamp ghoul"
Smon: The daughters nod to Morgana, wiping away tears.
chris107: 'Yes that was horrid!'
Smon: Bramble nods to Corak. "You too, Father. It's a fine set of Companions you have with you."
Mablir Dorlig: I'll go for Command, P from Evil & 2 CLW
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader Sure. There is probably only one. And the swamp is tiny. Finding it should be no problem.
genghisdon: I;ll keep C person, though it hasn't been useful lately
Mablir Dorlig: Maybe Mara would like a trip to the city after her recent scare?
Smon: GM: Villagers under Bramble's direction bring Stanley up from the cellar, now wrapped in chains, they hand you the lock to the key.
Smon: key to the lock
genghisdon: (with Stanley?)
kingmundi Has entered the room
genghisdon: I unchain him
genghisdon: "are you ok Stanley?"
Smon: Stanley rubs his wrists gratefully. "Thanks."
chris107: Opa (Whispers) Better than last night
Smon: "I'm... ok." He looks over at Mara. "I... I'm sorry."
saunatonttu Has entered the room
genghisdon: "they didn't listen very well, did they?"
genghisdon: hi sauna
saunatonttu: gamin?
Smon: y
Smon: Mara looks at Stanley, pauses, then nods. "I know. It wasn't your fault."
chris107: Hi Folks
Smon: Stanley looks much happier at these words, then turns to you. "Ok. I'm ready to go."
genghisdon: "we are going to take you to the Bishop Oldham in Yggsburgh Stanley, he can help you we hope"
Smon: "Fr Bramble told me. Thank you."
genghisdon: smile at Mara "very brave! we will see you all again soon"
genghisdon: we set out
Smon: Mara smiles back at Morgana, then hugs her and gives her a very warm good-bye kiss.
kingmundi Has exited the room
genghisdon: cool, i thought she might want things on the DL, but i guess not
Smon: Mara: "Farewell. I'll wait for you, Morgana."
genghisdon: Morganna responds in kind
chris107:
Smon: The priests and villagers watch the two young women kissing. Bramble coughs. "A friendly kiss is one matter, but tongues should remain in one's own mouth."
genghisdon: @ Duvader "don't fret, we will find your missing cousins someday soon"
Smon: Mara stops, blushing and grinning at the same time. She waves Morgana goodbye.
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader drums with his fingers on a nearby wall, waiting to leave.
genghisdon: heh
Smon: GM: Finally you head out, Stanley in tow.
Smon: /roll 1d8
Smon rolls 1d8 and gets:
4,
genghisdon: "bye" M waves back, though she hasn;t any human embarisment
Smon: Setting a good pace you head south, reaching the ferry at just after 3pm.
genghisdon: @ Stanley "you have a good family Stanley, have faith you will be able to return"
chris107: Opa just waves (vapidly) at everyone.
Smon: (Stanley nods to Morgana. "Better than I deserve). You can ring the bell and the ferry takes you over the Urt, no charge.
genghisdon: we do & go
genghisdon: (damn ghoul escapes us!)
chris107: (For now)
Smon: Pushing yourselves to the fastest pace those in heavy armour can manage, you reach Yggsburgh just before dusk.
genghisdon: (shite hawk couldn't scout it out?)
Smon: (ghoul only heals 1 hp/day, same as you)
Smon: (was miles off)
genghisdon: any new guards to charm?
Smon: The Mire is 43 square miles of bog, BTW
Smon: The Rivergate guards ask you about Stanley.
genghisdon: (no worries simon, just havin fun)
chris107: Opa bites her toungue just before declaring 'Oh He's a werewolf!'
genghisdon: "Stanley is a werewolf, and we are taking him to Bishop Oldham to see if he can be cured"
Mablir Dorlig: COrak @ guards "We have just brought him to see Bishop Oldham as he has some illness beyond my power to heal"
Smon: You explain, the guards look nervous at Morgana's words, crossing themselves. You are directed to the Grand Temple of St Cuthbert in the west end of town, opposite the Citadel.
genghisdon: "thanks fellas!" Morganna gives them a wink & heads off the way they said
Smon: When you get there, you see an evening service is underway, the Bishop in his peaked hat and regalia conducting several hundred of Yggsburgh's most respectable residents.
Smon: Anyone want to barge down the aisle?
genghisdon: I/we wait politely
Goonergeezer: is tabitha there?
corum: Flynn "we should not disturb them"
chris107: (Opa giggles at the bishop's funny hat)
genghisdon: not me
genghisdon: heh
corum: "enter by the side door"
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader We could simply approach the bishop's palace and ask the butler for an appointment, like everyone else?
Smon: Garrick looks around - he spots Sir Hawkes and Madam Winifred, sure enough... and there is Tabitha nearby them, between two other young women. No sign of Dame Gertrude though.
genghisdon: M @ Duv "If you like"
genghisdon: "I think it better to put in an appearance here though"
Goonergeezer: Garrick whispered @ corak " how long would it take to perform a marriage ceremony?
genghisdon: (and there is that matter too!)
Smon: After a hymn, Bishop Oldham begins the lesson. "On this, the eve of one of our most holy days, let us turn our thoughts to the Unknown Paladin, who delivered the Eastmark from Evil, just as she is delivered from the erroneous doctrines of the Pholtus-followers..."
genghisdon: amen
Mablir Dorlig: Corak whispers back a full service up to an hour
Goonergeezer: garrick whispered @ corak the bare minimum just so we are legally married
chris107: Opa looks on blankly
Smon: "...Let us give thanks that such errors may never again infest our fair city..."
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader Hej, we are in church. Stop whispering.
Mablir Dorlig: probably about 20 minutes
genghisdon: whisper to Opa "the priests we were gonna escort to her tomb"
Smon: "...For the Lord is merciful, wise and just. Amen."
chris107: Opa @ Garrick - Will she marry you now you've deflowered her and told everybody?
Mablir Dorlig: (based on RC standards)
Smon: "We shall now sing hymn 863, Oh Cuthbert Deliver Thy Miserable Sinner."
Goonergeezer: garrick @ opa whispered i only said it in front of a few people
chris107: Opa @ Morganna - ???
Goonergeezer: and they knew i had anywya
Smon: You see several people in the back rows looking in your direction as they stand to sing.
genghisdon: I just watch
chris107: Opa @ Group - Oh Garrick - They're playing your song!
genghisdon: smile
chris107:
Smon: LOL @chris
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader sings along loudly. It is one of his favorite church songs, the other being "The road to forgiveness".
Smon: A couple junior Clerics were heading in your direction, but stop when they see Duvader singing. They keep an eye on you.
chris107: Opa sings along with enthuisiasm though she's unsure of the words.
Smon: Are you all waiting for the service to end?
genghisdon: (heh, good job Duv)
genghisdon: yes
chris107: (Inserting the word Garrick in place of sinner at every opportunity and giggling)
genghisdon: Did Stanley join in? does he seem to know this religon?
Smon: OK, where you are standing at the back of the Temple, the crowd will pass you as they leave. OK?
Goonergeezer: garrick listens to the words and tries to think if he can make a dirty version of the song
Smon: Stanley follows your lead in singing, he seems to know the words.
genghisdon: sure
genghisdon: I greet Sir Hawkes & co as they do
Smon: GM - ok, the service ends eventually, the congregants begin to file out.
Smon: Morgana steps forward to greet Sir Hawkes. He beams happily. "Ah, lady Morgana! I was just looking for you and your fellows!"
corum: Flynn puts his hood up lest the priest recognises him
Goonergeezer: garrick whispered to tabitha i will contact you soon , will you marry me tabitha i can think of nothing but you"
genghisdon: "Glad to be looked upon, as always Lord Hawkes, a pleasure!"
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader looks embarrassed due to Garricks behaviour.
Smon: Behind him, Tabitha's eyes go wide at the sight of Garrick, He leans in and whispers to her, she looks stunned, She's pale and clearly been crying a lot.
Smon: Sir Hawkes: "All of you, come see me tomorrow afternoon - 3pm?"
genghisdon: "we have been very busy working at helping the communities near Yggsburgh"
Smon: Hawkes: "Oh yes?"
genghisdon: "certainly...and before you go, may i present Stanley, a werewolf of your note"
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader We should get a crier, announcing that we are bringing a werewolf along.
chris107:
corum: Flynn "or a grumpy gnome!"
Smon: Hawkes raises an eyebrow. "A werewolf, eh? He doesn't look like much. Well, I expect the Bishop can help him."
chris107: And another for Garrick to announce his conquests
genghisdon: Morganna mutter "Lord Stanley was the one who first told us of possible werewolf trouble, and deserves to know we have solved it"
Smon: Hawkes: "Ah yes, the Hawfair Werewolf! Indeed!"
genghisdon: "he was MOST fearsome as a wolf man though"
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader @ Flynn. You want another grumpy gnome? He raises his eyebrow.
Smon: He looks over at Opa. "Garrick's conquests? Pretty sharp with the blade, is he?"
saunatonttu Has exited the room
Goonergeezer: garrick hastily: yes my lord i have cut down many a beastie with my blader
chris107: No speach marks there Simon, should have put OOC though
Goonergeezer: blade
corum: Flynn @ hawkes "his sword is legendary!"
Goonergeezer: garrick: indeed Sir Hawkes perhaps you would like to examine it tomorrow
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader Not to mention, this is not the werewolf everyone was fearing. This was just a poor Innkeeper that got bitten.
Smon: Hawkes nods. "That's good - sounds like just the man I'm looking for. Before she left, Dame Gertrude bid me keep her younf niece safe from all harm. I require a trustworthy man of most puissant skill for this task..."
genghisdon: "I think he IS the werewolf"
Smon: He glances at Duvader: "More Werewolves, eh?"
chris107:
saunatonttu Has entered the room
chris107: 'Garrick?'
corum: Flynn "He's your man, Im sure his sword will rise to her protection"
genghisdon: "maybe, but maybe long gone too"
Goonergeezer: garrick: Sir Hawkes i am honoured by your offer and would gladly lay down my life for the protection of your niece
saunatonttu Has exited the room
genghisdon: (snigger)
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader Yes. At least somehow must have bitten this poor fellow, and he is probably still somewhere.
chris107: brb
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader tries to remain polite and serious when he hears the offer to Garrick.
Smon: Hawkes: "Anyway, let me introduce my lady companions. My wife you know. This is my daughter Alicia, and my daughter in law Genevieve. My sons are not here, unfortunately."
Goonergeezer: garrick bows to the ladies
genghisdon: "each more beautiful than the last, greetings ladies"
Smon: http://smonsyggsburgh.blogspot.com/2011/12/nobles.html
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader My pleasure. He bows.
Smon: Alicia and Genevieve smile and curtsey demurely to Morgana. Each is clad in fine but not too ostentatious day dresses, suitable for Church.
genghisdon: I curtsey back & smile
Smon: Tabitha seems to have recovered a bit, and is starting to look hopeful at Sir Hawkes' talk of a bodyguard.
corum: Flynn grunts
Smon: Alicia: "We've heard so much about all your fine band! I heard you rescued Widow Chatterly from a fate worse than death!"
genghisdon: "and good to see you again Tabitha dear, fear not, you will have all the protection you need"
Smon: Genevieve nods: "Imagine what might have happened to her if you hadn't intervened in time!" - she seems to be smiling when she says this, though.
genghisdon: "yes, and the fine Aole as well"
Smon: Alicia: "Ah yes, the Princess! I've seen her at the College." She frowns.
genghisdon: "well, uh, yes"
Smon: Alicia: "...Does the Princess have a friend? A scrawny little magic-user?"
genghisdon: "hard to miss her exotic beauty, yes?"
genghisdon: "not that I know of, why do you ask?"
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader We have not seen her since she enrolled to college.
Smon: You're almost alone with the Hawkes's in the Temple now, a few priests are about.
Smon: Alicia: "I noticed, the second time I saw her... It seemed odd... He had his hands all over her... and her look... I was wondering... if..."
Smon: Alicia reddens slightly.
chris107: Have I missed anything? May be another 5 minutes, just got some chums called round.
genghisdon: "we shall look into the matter" Morganna has death in her eye
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader Well, we will visit her and she probably tell us her news.
Smon: Genevieve: "Don't be silly Alicia, I'm sure it's nothing."
Mablir Dorlig: back
Smon: Alicia nods. "Well, delightful to meet all of you! Do come round tomorrow, as Father says! "
genghisdon: "no, I think something is up, and I thank you for the warning ladies"
Smon: Hawkes nods.
genghisdon: "we need to watch out for each other" give them a wink
genghisdon: "till tommorow then"
Smon: OOC: Can you play past 10pm or should I quit now?
Kjato Ragfoot: ((I can play past 10 pm, can sleep long tomorrow.))
genghisdon: I gotta stop real soon, but u guys can finish this, train & the like
Goonergeezer: garrick on the morrow then, ladies (garricks eyes stare into tabithas"
Mablir Dorlig: how long you thinking of simon?
genghisdon: i can come back in 10
Smon: Tabitha's eyes widen, she nods to Garrick.
genghisdon: be back then
Smon: Say 10.20pm
Mablir Dorlig: No prob with up til 10:30
Smon: ok, will quit by then
Smon: Tabitha is still staring at Garrick when Alicia takes her by the arm and leads her away, the Hawkes's depart.
Kjato Ragfoot: Is the bishop still there?
Smon: The Bishop has retired to a side chamber. A novice priest is watching you.
chris107: Search party from the pub. Sent them packing!
Smon: "Can I assist?" he asks.
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader stubs Morganna. "The letter."
Smon: The young priest coughs.
Mablir Dorlig: Corak @ priests "would it be possible to speak to the bishop - this man needs his aid"
Goonergeezer: garrick turns to corak and whispers as soon as i start my guarding duties for tabitha, if we can meet with you would you perform the ceremony?
Smon: Priest: "What sort of aid, Father?"
Mablir Dorlig: Corak @ priest "this man has been infected by a werewolf and Father Bramble suggested that the Bishop would be able to heal him"
Smon: The young man's eyes widen. "If it is within three nights, a prayer can do so, yes."
Mablir Dorlig: Corak "we fear it may be more than 3 monts since he was infected"
Smon: Priest: "Then... Well, the Bishop does not normally see people without an appointment. I can have this man securely held, and I can consult with the Bishop,"
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader @ Morganna: The Letter Bramble gave you for the bishop!
Smon: GM: As genghis went away, I'll say Morgana hands over the letter.
Smon: He takes the sealed note. "Wait here."
corum: ((is duv like INT 18 or something?))
Mablir Dorlig: Corak "As the moon is not full he does not require securing, would it be possible to make an appointment with the Bishop - we have a letter of introduction"
Smon: (I think Kjato is INT 15 WIS 17) He departs, and returns shortly.
Smon: "The Bishop has read Fr Bramble's letter. He instructs me to escort Stanley to a secure cell. He requires to know your address should he need to consult you."
corum: ((player maybe - character not 10/11))
Mablir Dorlig: Corak "Last time we were here we stayed at the Green Dragon Inn. Please treat this man well he has done no intentional harm"
Smon: The priest nods. "I understand."
chris107: Opa @ Group - I'ts quite expensive at the Green Dragon... can we find some where cheaper?
Mablir Dorlig: Turn to Stanley - "I fear that we must leave you with these Priests for now, but I shall visit you daily until you are cured and join you in prayer"
Goonergeezer: garrick: i will pay for you opa
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader I like the Green Dragon and would like to stay there.
genghisdon: nah, we are adventurers, lets spend it while we got it
Smon: Stanley: "Th-thank you. All of you." He nods to the priest.
genghisdon: "I'm not sure I trust the clerics...maybe Stanley should come with us"
chris107: 'Thanks Garrick, I'll pay you back.'
genghisdon: "why does Stanley need stay here now, while he is no threat?"
Mablir Dorlig: Corak @ Garrick "would it not be best to get her families consent"
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader Those are priests, I doubt they would lie to us or bring somebody into danger.
Goonergeezer: garrick @ corak that would be nice but if you were nobility would you let your niece marry me?
corum: Flynn @ Morganna "perhaps we should not meddle in the ways of these priests"
genghisdon: "they are law-ful priests & might deem a danger to some worth a sacrafice to one"
Mablir Dorlig: Corak "you are a trustworthy companion, I see no reason they would not"
genghisdon: "watchever" @ priest "If Stanley is harmed while he is here, I'll get justice on you & yours for it"
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader If they are lawful, they will act according to law. And I doubt there is a law that says "priests may kill people who are said to be werewolfs on a whim".
genghisdon: "is the gnome correct, priest?"
Goonergeezer: garrick you see the best in me corak, if only it were the same of others
Smon: The priest looks nervously at Morgana and gestures to two burly doormen, maces at their belts. "You should go now."
genghisdon: "will you give assurance that Stanley will be unharmed?"
genghisdon: "it isn't very difficult"
Smon: Stanley: "It's alright, friends. We must trust in the Lord."
Smon: The priest looks at Morgana. "We will do our best for him. That is all I can assure you. You must go now."
genghisdon: "it's your call Stanley...I'll see you tommorow"
genghisdon: I go
chris107: Opa skips out happily
Mablir Dorlig: Corak @ Morgana "If Father Bramble had wanted to see him dead it would have been easy for him to kill him while he was injured"
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader will leave too.
Smon: GM: You exit, the doormen shutting the great doors of the temple behind you.
Mablir Dorlig: Corak @ Priest (Bowing) Thank you father
Smon: The priest nods to Corak.
Smon: Outside, the night wind is chill. Are you going to the Green Dragon?
Goonergeezer: yep#
Kjato Ragfoot: Yes.
Mablir Dorlig: Corak (to self) it would be nice once in a while to enter a holy place without fearing it will end in a fight
chris107: OOC Opa has 21 GP
chris107: OOC 7GP/week yes?
corum: Flynn will pay for Opa
Smon: GM: OK, you head NE and reach the Inn, it's 3.5gp week for room, good food, and sundries.
Smon: 7gp for 2 weeks, long enough to train.
Goonergeezer: garrick hastily puts away his purse upom hearing flynn offering to pay for opa
corum: Hands Opa 7gp - two weeks!
Kjato Ragfoot: OK. Duvader will pay for two weeks.
Mablir Dorlig: Corak will book a room for 2 weeks
chris107: @GM - Training costs?
Goonergeezer: garrick would like a private room for 2 weks please
corum: Flynn "you should self train Opa!"
Smon: (no self training cost) You find you're still pretty tired, and retire early.
chris107: Opa @ Flynn - 'Oooh, can I do that?'
Smon: Rising late the next day, you have a late breakfast, are you going to the Hawkes estate for 3pm?
Goonergeezer: garrick is
chris107: OOC Then thanks guys, Opa can scrape enough together
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader will go along as well.
Smon: Also, are you bathing & wearing clean clothes?
Kjato Ragfoot: Good idea. What will a bath cost?
genghisdon: I'll pay 4
genghisdon: yes, to the Hawkes
Goonergeezer: garrick is bathing and putting on his gentlemans day outfit
Smon: Bath included in your 7gp/fortnight, otherwise 1sp
Mablir Dorlig: Corak will want to visit Stanley before the Hawkes
genghisdon: yes, bath & clean clothes indeed
Goonergeezer: keeping his sword strapped on tho
chris107: Opa will fork out a couple of extra gold for a good bath and some polish for her equipment.
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader does bath, give his worn clothes to be washed and wears his second set.
corum: Flynn does not - he does not see why he should
Smon: If you need to buy a gentleman's day outfit it's 14gp
genghisdon: "Flynn, you smell..take a bath!"
Kjato Ragfoot: Hmm. Good idea. If there is enough time, Duvader will buy a gentlemans outfit. He does not have one.
Smon: Clothes prices here: http://smonsyggsburgh.blogspot.com/2011/12/yggsburgh-prices.html
Goonergeezer: garrick will direct the party to his tailors
Smon: You have a few hours, yes.
corum: Flynn forgets, he has more pressing things on his mind
genghisdon: can't afford any, I am broke after 7 gp
chris107: Opa will settle for having her stuff well washed and pressed while she bathes.
genghisdon: me too
Smon: Everyone but Flynn bathes, Garrick & Duvader in nice clothes too?
chris107: Opa has 5GP left Don if it helps.
genghisdon: naw, u need it to train
Mablir Dorlig: Corak will wear Priestly garb (after a bath)
Smon: OK, thanks.
Kjato Ragfoot: Yes, Duvader buys an gentleman day outfit.
corum: Flynn @ Morg "how much do you need?"
genghisdon: "We will get some pretty dresses, next time we have $ Opa!"
Smon: GM: A little before 3pm you head over to the Hawkes mansion on Scrivner Street, opposite the Schools district.
chris107: (Two weeks @ 7GP/week accommodation whilst self training, -2 for bath, washing and polish still leaves 5GP Don)
genghisdon: @ corum, i dunno, lemmie look
Smon: 2gp is like £200 BTW, that's some fancy polish!
genghisdon: 14 gp Corum
corum: Flyn gives Morg 15gp
corum: ((taken it off my sheet))
Smon: You walk up the driveway and ring the bell, a tall, lean man in Hawkes livery opens the door, he's battle-scarred and looks mid-40s. He looks you over with gimlet eye.
chris107: (Nice oily, smelly bath and good laundery + everything polished and mended?)
Smon: ok
genghisdon: thnx "I'll pay you back Flynn"
Smon: "Your manservant should stay at the Gate lodge" - he points at Flynn.
genghisdon: I get a set of town clothes
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader gives both Morganna and Opa 20 gp before we reach the Hawkes estates.
corum: Flynn grunts
Kjato Ragfoot: So that they have some spare money in case they need it for anything.
chris107: Opa @ Duv - Thanks Duv, but I'm okay thanks
genghisdon: "Thanks Duvader, I'll get you back too!"
corum: ((whats at the gate lodge?))
Kjato Ragfoot: No, it is a present. I insist you take it.
Smon: It's just a cottage for the gatekeeper/gardener.
chris107: Opa will stay back with Flynn.
genghisdon: "no servents here, just a stubborn ranger"
genghisdon: "come on u 2"
chris107: 'All or none' says Opa
Smon: The man opens the gate. "The rest of the Garrick party may enter. You are to leave weapons and armour at the antechamber."
genghisdon: "i didn't bring any " Morganna lies, she has her +1 dagger hidden
Smon: GM: Who is going in and divesting of visible armour & weapons?
corum: ((is the gatekeeper home?))
Goonergeezer: garrick : Sir Ulrich expressed an interest in inspecting my blade if you could have it delivered to the house my good man"
genghisdon: yes
Smon: (yes, you can see chimney smoke)
corum: Flynn @ Opa "I think you should go keep an eye on them" point at garrick
chris107: Opa is in the lodge so can stay equipped?
Mablir Dorlig: Corak divesting himself of weapons (not wearing armour)
Smon: The man looks at Garrick. "You're Garrick. I'm Lars Frank, Sir Ulrich's Esquire."
genghisdon: (sign D&D players & their gear)
chris107: Opa @ Flynn - 'No we stick together.'
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader will do as told.
genghisdon: sigh
genghisdon: (what were the names of the merchants we rescued?)
Smon: So Duvader Garrick Morgana Corak enter, and leave weapons/armour as instructed.
Goonergeezer: garrick: then greetings Lars we may soon share an employer
corum: Flynn @ Opa "ok we will speak to the gatekeeper, I think there is something wrong here"
Smon: Lars nods coolly to Garick. "We'll see."
chris107: (Can't remember Don)
genghisdon: (we didn't leave weapons last time, did we?)
Smon: no
chris107: (NO)
Smon: Opa and Flyn retire to the gatehouse, where a greybeard fellow offers you a cup of tea.
genghisdon: Morganna mentally to Shite hawk "stay near Opa & scawk at her if I'm in trouble, ok?"
chris107: Opa @ Greybeard 'Not for me kind sir.'
genghisdon: Morganna in elven "I'll leave Shite hawk with you to communicate if there is trouble"
Smon: Meanwhile the other of you have stripped off your arsenal. A buxom maid waits by Lars.
chris107: 'I have dined.'
genghisdon: "here you go dearie "hands over Shite hawk
Smon: Lars: "This maid will escort Garick to Sir Ulrich for private discussion. The rest of you follow me."
genghisdon: i follow
corum: Flynn @ greybeard "excuse my brashness sir, Im not used to townfolk, but, I wondered what you thought of Sir hawkes, is he a good man?"
Kjato Ragfoot: I follow him as well.
chris107: Opa pets and strokes Shitehawk, feeding him tidbits left from lunch.
Goonergeezer: garrick gulps
Smon: Gatehouse - The old man chuckles. "Why, he's an Excellent employer!" he sips his tea.
corum: ((this perhaps comes out as illiterate drivel))
Goonergeezer: garrick follows the maid and asks if the house has been busy today?
Smon: Garick follows the maid, enjoying a nice view of her well-rounded rear.
corum: Flynn @ Greybeard "no enemies?"
genghisdon: me too
Smon: She leads him to the stairs. "Yes, sir. Quite busy. Sir Hawkes is in the upstairs drawing room."
genghisdon: human women are so much..fuller
Smon: Greybeard@ Flynn: "Why, no. He's well loved by all the world!" He chuckles.
Kjato Ragfoot: Everyone is so tall around here.
Goonergeezer: garrick: many visitors today?
Smon: The maid doe not elaborate.
corum: Flynn "Protective of his daughters I bet?"
Smon: Lars leads Morgana, Duvader & Corak down a short flight of stairs, into a marbled antechamber. 6 white bath robes - hip length if human sized -hang from the wall. Lars: "Remove your clothes, put on the robes, and go through those far doors. Your hosts are expecting you."
Goonergeezer: garrick remains quiet for the rest of the journey to sir ulrich's chambers rtrying to compose himself
Smon: Greybeard@Flynn: "Daughters? He just has the one girl, Alicia."
genghisdon: "uh, i don't recall joining a cult...do you recognise these robes Corak?"
corum: ((tabitha is his daughter right?))
genghisdon: (nope)
Smon: Garick reaches a door. The maid knocks. Hawkes: "Bring the feller in!"
Goonergeezer: niece
Smon: (nope)
genghisdon: http://smonsyggsburgh.blogspot.com/2011/12/nobles.html
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader are we invited for a bath?
Mablir Dorlig: Are they anything other than bath robes?
corum: Flynn @ Greybeard "and his niece?"
Smon: (Tabitha is his wife's niece)
Goonergeezer: garrick takes a deep breath and enters the room
genghisdon: (wedding robes?)
chris107: ((Shrouds?))
genghisdon: "Corak?"
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader is a little confused about the strange habits of human lords.
Smon: Lars nods to Duvader: "Apparently so. Ring the bell if you require service." He withdraws, shutting the door behind him. From beyond the far door, Duvader Morgana & Corak hear feminine laughter.
Smon: The robes look like fluffy bathrobes.
Mablir Dorlig: What choice do we have?
genghisdon: I'll get dressed in a robe now, dagger strapped to thigh
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader shakes his head and redresses.
genghisdon: "are they used in religous sense Corak?"
genghisdon: "you are one of their priest's right?"
Smon: The maid escorts Garick into a bright, sunny chamber, Hawkes stands, silhouetted dramatically by the window.
Mablir Dorlig: Corak will change into bathrobe and leave his holy symbol around his neck
Mablir Dorlig: Nothing religious in them to my knowledge, unless we are to be baptised
Smon: Corak Morgana & Duvader start to strip off. The robe looks a bit ludicrous on Duvader.
genghisdon: "huh"
genghisdon: lol, not gnome sized! evil!
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader Have you those in gnome size? One for a child would do too.
Smon: Hawkes is looking out the window, facing away from Garick. He speaks: "Come in."
Goonergeezer: Garrick: Good day Sir ulrich i hope the day finds you in good spirits
Smon: (6 robes, all human size, just you 3 in the changing room)
Smon: Hawkes: "Garick. Before we go on. Is there anything you would like to tell me?"
Goonergeezer: garrick walks to the center of the room and waits for ulrich to speak
Mablir Dorlig: (plus 3 others not with us)
genghisdon: heh
genghisdon: defiler of women!
Mablir Dorlig: OOC Garrick or Morganna?
Goonergeezer: Garrick: my lord there is, I am in love with your wifes niece and she with me, may i be so bold as to ask for your permission to marry
Smon: LOL
genghisdon: OOC
Smon: Sir Ulrich turns immediately to face Garick. He glares at you intensely.
Goonergeezer: garrick remains quiet and faces the floor waiting for the inevitible explosion
Smon: "Garick. You are a common born mercenary. An adventurer! You deflower a high born girl, then you have the cheek to stand before me now and demand her hand in marriage?!"
genghisdon: OOC pretty much
Goonergeezer: my lord i did not demand but ask your permission
Smon: Hawkes nods. "Yes, of course. Still, you see just how outrageous this is? Here am I, entrusted by my oldest friend with the care of his daughter, the apple of his eye... Barely has she arrived in Yggsburgh when... "
Smon: Hawkes is starting to grin. "I, I'm sorry, I fear I can't keep this up.."
Goonergeezer: i know my lord it was my fault and the blame should be put solely on me...........
Smon: "HA HA HA!!!" He strides forward and slaps Garrick hard on the back. "You dog!"
Goonergeezer: eh?
Goonergeezer: garrick stutters slightly unsure of his current footing
Smon: Hawkes is still grinning. "You're a very lucky man, boy! There's a dozen lords in Yggsburgh would have you strung up for what you've done!"
Smon: "But me, I'm different. I'm no aristocrat. I was born a commoner like yourself. I came up the hard way, up to my neck in blood and guts!"
Smon: "And to tell the truth, I see a little of myself in you, Garrick. Just a little." He chuckles.
Smon: "I wonder how your friends are getting on?"
Smon: GM OOC: OK I need to stop there. 500 XP each.
Smon: & we can continue on Tuesday.
Goonergeezer: Garrick: she is a most beautiful woman, and if you were not her ward im sure you would be tempted, i have seen your maids and they are all very fair women
chris107: Nice one Simon. So next Thursday?
Goonergeezer: k tyvm smon good game tonight

Goonergeezer: everyone said thery could make it so i assume so
genghisdon: maybe not, it should turn human (or ogre or whatever) soon, at dawn?

chris107: (( And Simons house rules on bow range mean I can't just keep taking pot shots in the hope of bringing the horror down ))
chris107: Hey Mab
Kjato Ragfoot: Gooner You can always go with me to the Thorn Hague clan and get married by a gnome priest.
genghisdon: i am still unsure it IS a horror...it never attacked people before
Mablir Dorlig: Have I missed anything?

Premier: Heh. Just had my first game of Savage Worlds today.
genghisdon: i'm sticking with elves don't go were

genghisdon: cool
Kjato Ragfoot: Ah, she just has to turn furry.
Smon: ok back
genghisdon: what style? star wars, BSG, Star Trak?
chris107: Keep looking at Traveller Prem... Is it similar?
Smon: Re priests - any priest of the Great Church can perform a legal marriage.
Premier: style: sort of Traveller meets Firefly.
genghisdon: cool
genghisdon: i love firefly
Smon: OK, gonna start now.
chris107: Furry? Opa shrieks at the prospect
genghisdon: no comment/XP with traveller
genghisdon: heh
genghisdon: ok
Premier: We did a space station heist, pretending to be maintenance workers and stealing to barrels of medicines which we delviered to a Renaissance-level planet. They needed the medicine for the cattle.
Smon: GM: Flynn is summoning his hawk to spot the werewolf, the rest of you are chasing after it.
genghisdon: "Shite Hawk, follow the beast & call out to guide us! Opa, you are fastest, keep it in sight if you can! The rest of us, Run!"
Bloated Blowfish Has entered the room
Smon: In bipedal form and carrying Mara, it's no faster than Opa & Duvader.
Goonergeezer: good good. Garrick eyes Corak and smiles
chris107: Opa @ Woolfie - 'Come back!'

genghisdon: hi bb
Premier: (Anyway, don't let me keep you from your game. Kinda busy, too. Have fun.)
Smon: Morgana summoning, sorry
Mablir Dorlig: Could probably do with slowing it down somehow
genghisdon: (sounds like u had fun, later premier)
chris107: Opa grips her dragonstooth dagger and lunges after the beast.
Bloated Blowfish: (Hiya guys
)Premier Has exited the room
Smon: GM: It runs fleet-footed through the village, you chasing after.

Smon: The beast howls in pain and tries to grab the little gnome...
Smon: /roll 1d20x2
Smon Rolls 1d20x2 and gets:
5 = 5
2 = 2
Smon:
Smon: Duvader slips between its legs
chris107:
genghisdon: ha!
Kjato Ragfoot: With his toes smashed, the little gnome is just to nimble.
Smon: Mara gets to her feet, muddy, and runs towards Morgana, wide-eyed with fear.
Smon: R3 Others get to 180' range. Opa & Duvader to go, others can roll init if you plan to missile attack this round.
Bloated Blowfish Has exited the room
chris107 rolls 1d20 and gets:
3,genghisdon: chances to hit our allies?
Smon: you can aim high and shoot at -4
chris107: Bloody hell. If I added them all together I haven't got a hit!
Smon: plus range mods
Smon: LOL
genghisdon: ok, I'll shoot
Kjato Ragfoot rolls 1d20+1 and gets:
6, (+1) = 7 genghisdon: naw, I'll run again
Smon: anyone shooting? No?
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader is to busy getting away from the claws to hit, too.
Goonergeezer: nope
Smon: GM: Seeing that Mara has escaped, the beast drops to all fours, assuming full wolf-form, and sprints for the copse. Duvader & Opa get 1 attack each at +2
genghisdon: I run towards Mara
chris107 rolls 1d20+2 and gets:
10, (+2) = 12 chris107:
genghisdon: "Keep folowing it Shite Hawk!"
Kjato Ragfoot rolls 1d20+3 and gets:
16, (+3) = 19 Kjato Ragfoot rolls 1d3+2 and gets: 2 (+2) = 4
genghisdon: (killer-gnome!)
Smon: Duvader stabs it in the hairy rump.
Kjato Ragfoot: With a club?
genghisdon: (whacks)
Smon: whacks, ok
Smon: Battered and bleeding, the beast sprints into the copse (180' speed) and disappears from view.
Smon: Mara runs up to Morgana and collapses into her welcoming arms.
corum Has entered the room
genghisdon: (he can't escape Shite hawk though?)
chris107: He y Corum
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader. So. After getting soaked and beaten and got the girl back, may we finally sleep?
Mablir Dorlig: Corak will go and CLW on Duvader (hopes the hawk will follow it)
chris107: Just in time to track!
genghisdon: "I was so worried, did it bite you?"
Smon: Flynn comes running up in the field time to see Morgana embrace a muddy, nude Mara
genghisdon: hi Corum
corum: hey all!
Mablir Dorlig: Hi C
Goonergeezer: hiyas
Mablir Dorlig rolls 1d8 and gets:
7,genghisdon: nicew
Smon: Duvader back to full!
Mablir Dorlig: (one healthy gnome)
corum: Flynn "Hi Mara!"
Smon: Mara sobs: "It was in my room! I had a terrible nightmare.. And it was there all along!"
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader: Ah. Much better. Thanks.
Smon: She shivers in the pre-dawn chill.
Goonergeezer: garrick removes his cloak for her and hand it
genghisdon: "come Mara. lets get you back to the Inn...the rest of you, I'll catch up as I can...Listen for Shite hawk's calls"
Goonergeezer: to her74
chris107: Opa @ Flynn - Can you track it Flynnie?
genghisdon: "you poor thing!"
Smon: Mara nods gratefully to Garrick and puts the cloak on.
chris107: We may never get another chance with it this weak.
corum: ((track what? i missed that bit!))
Kjato Ragfoot: The werewolf.
genghisdon: (the werewolf)
Mablir Dorlig: (Unless it's one of the Clerics and reverts to human and CLW's itself a bit)
chris107: Opa - Come on chaps! Lets finish this...
Smon: Morgana escorts a grateful but weak-kneed Mara back towards the Inn. Several men have come out the front door, including Father Bramble, hefting a mace..
corum: ((oh k))
corum: Flynn attempts to track the werewolf!
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader I demand at least a week free stay at the Inn, with wine, chees and boar steak.
chris107: Opa - Looks for obvious tracks where the wolf slipped amongst the trees.
Smon: Flynn looks down - there are obvious wolf tracks.
genghisdon: "The werewolf tried to abduct poor Mara, but my friends Opa & Duvader saved her! Get her inside while we finish the beast!"
Smon: /roll 1d100
Smon rolls 1d100 and gets:
10,genghisdon: After Mara is safe, I rush after the party
Smon: Flynn tracks the wolf into the copse. It zigs & zags, then the tracks break cover, heading SW towards the Ashwood.
genghisdon: (can i see/sense where it/shite hawk are?)
Smon: Father Bramble nods to Morgana. To Mara: "You poor child! Let me comfort you!"
chris107: Opa knocks a silver arrow and loosens more. Following Flynn.
Smon: The hawk lands on Morgana's shoulder. ~Big wolf broke cover, heading for big forest.~
corum: Flynn will track just in front of the group
Mablir Dorlig: (lucky father Bramble)
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader grumbles, but follows as well.
corum: Flynn gets a sliver bolt ready
genghisdon: "damn it shite hawk! couldn't u follow it?"
Smon: Bramble escorts Mara inside, Morgana races back towards the copse.
Smon: ok Flynn make another track roll, 90% chance.
corum rolls 1d100 and gets:
64,corum: Flynn signals in SW direction to Opa
Smon: ~I don't appreciate that tone, Shite Elf. You said to report back.~
genghisdon: no i didn't
genghisdon: but too late now
chris107: Opa stealthily stalks the vile creature. Arrow drawn
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader simply runs along.
genghisdon: me too
Smon: Flynn follows the tracks SW past the east edge of the hills. Morgana catches up. You enter the Ashwood as the sun is cresting over the Grey Pools Mire to the east.
corum: Flynn speeds up hoping to catch the beast before the change
Kjato Ragfoot: ((Why? It would be much easier to kill after the change))
Smon: In a clearing ahead, you see a naked man lying, badly wounded by the look of him.
Smon: Short and stout, he looks familiar - the Innkeep!
Smon:
chris107: Opa approaches but with her arrow ready for quick fire.
genghisdon: "the bugger...i wonder if they all are weres"
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader huffs.
Smon: (You see, he smelled of the Big House, and he smelled like the PCs who drank beer - not Duvader)
Smon: He seems unconscious.
genghisdon: "want to explain yourself man?"
chris107:
corum: ((Flynn wont kill a defenceless human))
Smon: "*mmble*" he says in his sleep.
genghisdon: I rope his hands
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader OK. Let's get him back. Perhaps we get a bounty for turning a werewolf in or something.
chris107: Opa @ Group - Should we finish it, or interrogate it?
genghisdon: "get up!"
genghisdon: "we don't need to kill him"
Goonergeezer: garrick: lets take him to a priest to be cures
Goonergeezer: cured
chris107: Opa @ Flynn - Tis not a human fair Flynn. You did not see it in beast form.
corum: Flynn "rope him up and lets head back to hawfair, nothing will be gained by his murder"
Smon: The Innkeep wakes as Morgana starts tying him. "Whu?"
genghisdon: is he still asleep after i tied his hands & shake him?
corum: "the villagers will not thank us!"
genghisdon: ok
genghisdon: "get up werewolf!"
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader The villagers will never know if we kill him and tell him he transformed from wolf form after death.
Smon: The man shakes his head. "Whu? Why? Oh, the pain...!"
Kjato Ragfoot: But still, let's return him. Perhaps this annoying priest is good for something else than staring at naked shoulders.
genghisdon: They will know the innkeep is missing, plus his daughters & even wife might be weres
Smon: Morgana gets him to his feet. He looks bewildered.
genghisdon: "get up, and get moving! and figure out how you became a wolf!"
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader Duh, we bring the dead Innkeep back, say he was the werewolf and we had to kill him.
Smon: You start marching him back towards Hawfair Green, 2 miles off.
Mablir Dorlig: How did he become a were if it is not someone else in the village spreading the disease
Smon: The man blanches. "Please don't kill me?!"
genghisdon: "why so bloodthirsty, he is probably just a man acursed?"
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader Why bloodthirsty? I speculate on a bounty for a dead werewolf.
genghisdon: "that will be up to your felow villagers"
Smon: He looks desperately at Corak. "Don't let them kill me, Father!"
genghisdon: "every bounty thus far has been more for alive, so that doesn't wash
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader Hmm. True. OK, let's get him back.
Mablir Dorlig: Corak @ Innkeep "Then tell us how you were infected"
genghisdon: (yes)
corum: Flynn will track the way back
Smon: "Infected? You mean the wolf? I was out picking spring mushrooms in the Ashwood..."
corum: scouting ahead
Smon: "...It bit me! Was I... Was I infected?"
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader No. You ARE infected.
Mablir Dorlig: And there is another one around
chris107:
genghisdon: "yes" @ Corak "can you pray for detect evil today, so as to check his family for an evil taint?"
Smon: "I... I didn't hurt anyone, did I?"
genghisdon: "almost, but no"
genghisdon: "you secretly lust after Mara, don't you?"
Mablir Dorlig: Seems reasonable - no one among us seems to be injured
Smon: "I've had strange dreams... And sometimes I woke up here, in the forest..."
Mablir Dorlig: Next time I learn spells 4 Detect Evil
Smon: "I thought I must be sleepwalking."
genghisdon: "I'm afraid not"
Smon: "...Mara..." He blushes.
Smon: He looks down, reddening.
genghisdon: "unless a high priest can help you, you will need to be confined every full moon"
Smon: "...I didn't hurt her, did I?"
genghisdon: "yes, I thought so"
genghisdon: "lets go see"
Mablir Dorlig: Corak @ innkeep "When were you bitten?"
chris107: brb just popping out for a fag
corum: @DM how far are we from hawfair?
Smon: brb
genghisdon: ok
Smon: You leave the trees, a mile or so to Hawfair.
Smon: "I was bitten... Just 3 months back, in Firstmonth. There was an early thaw, and the snowcap mushrooms were out..."
Smon: "There was patches of snow on the ground... then the wolf came..."
Smon: You march though the fields back to the village.
chris107: Back
corum: Flynn will hang back now and let the elves do the talking!
Smon: As you approach the Leaping Trout Inn, you see a crowd gathered, among them the Innkeep's wife, looking distraught at the sight of him.
Smon: "STANLEY?!" she cries.
genghisdon: "ho townsfolk! your werewolf in his human form!"
Smon: "Stanley Shepherd?! What has become of you?!"
chris107: ((Very Carry on Werewolf that Simon))
Smon: (that's the name in the book!)
Smon: The villagers and fair-goers gather round.
Smon: Stanley blushes and looks down. "It's true, dear."
genghisdon: "Stanley seems not to know what has befallen him, since getting bit by a wolf in the woods, does anyone recall him getting bitten?"
genghisdon: "about 3 months ago?"
chris107: Opa @ Crowd - Or has he taken any bites at you?
Smon: His wife looks down.
Eliana Has entered the room
chris107: Opa - 'Madam?'
genghisdon: "he HAS infected you as well then?"
Smon: Stanley: "I didn't bite anyone! I might have mentioned the bite, it was just a big wolf..."
genghisdon: (hi Eli)
Eliana sneak in... on the tip of her toes...
Smon: hi El
chris107: Hi Eliana
Eliana: (Hi...!)
genghisdon: "can one of your good clerics, father Bramble, cast a spell to detect evil?"
Smon: The wife nods: "You have been behaving awful strange, Stanley. Coming home all hours..."
Smon: Bramble nods, and gestures to another Cleric. The man prays.
Smon: "The Innkeep does not detect as Evil."
genghisdon: "then it cannot detect a lycanthrope"
genghisdon: "pity"
Smon: Stanley: "All those chickens, and pigs... I'm sorry. I'll make it up to people."
chris107: Opa @ Group - @perchance it is only in bestial form that the creature is evil?'
genghisdon: "it is ultimately up to you, good villagers, to decide what to do with Stanley, but if he is confined securely on the full moon nights, he could still live among you"
genghisdon: "he didn't seem overly evil even in wolf form, but he is still very dangerous"
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader Of course, the wolf that bit him might still be around. You should take precautions.
genghisdon: "we can hunt it, perhaps, at a later date"
chris107: Opa - Should we perhaps hunt the creature down?
genghisdon: Morganna "yeah"
genghisdon: Morganna @ villagers "what say you?"
Mablir Dorlig: Haven'y you already promised to accompany the clerics on their pilgrimage
Bloated Blowfish Has entered the room
genghisdon: yes
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader We hardly got this reluctant werewolf down, how should we stand against a furious werewolf?
Smon: The villagers look nervous. "Stanley Shephard is our Reeve for the City... Usually he decides stuff" says one.
genghisdon: "do you have a strong gaol here?"
chris107: Opa - And surely the clerics would want us to secure the village first?
Smon: MIss Jessip Littler speaks up: "We should chain him securely, then gather round and have a mass debate."
genghisdon: "he is no threat right now, but yes, have a debate"
Goonergeezer: garrick: there is nothing bettre than a mass-debaTE
Smon: Villager: "We don't have a jail - we lock bad sorts in the Inn cellar."
Goonergeezer: GARRICK ROLLS ON THE FLOOR LAUGHING
genghisdon: i untie him
chris107: Ooohhh!!!!!
chris107: Garick!
genghisdon: "he may have to go to Yggsburgh then"
Smon: Villagers take Stanley into the Inn to chain him in his own cellar.
chris107: Opa blushes
genghisdon: "i am tired & going to see Mara"...Morganna heads off
Smon: Miss Littler: "We will decide what to do. Thank you. adventurers." She nods to Duvader.
Smon: Bramble: "I doubt you can pick up this other werewolf's trail, three months cold..."
Smon: Morgana heads upstairs and knocks on Mara's door. "C-come in."
corum: Flynn nods
genghisdon: "how are you dearie?"
Goonergeezer: Garrick: im sorry i dont know what came over me
corum: Flynn @ bramble "perhaps it would be wise to accompany you - you may need a guard"
Smon: Morgana enters, seeing Mara on her bed, now wearing a rather skimpy negligee. "Oh, Morgana! Thank you for coming!" she holds out her arms to the elf-maid.
genghisdon: I go into her embrace
chris107: Opa retires exhausted (after unstringing her bow) to the common room to sleep the rest of the night away.
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader If that is cleared then, I'd like to get a breakfast. And some sleep.
Smon: Outside, Fr Bramble nods, looking around. "Aye... this place has more than its share of demons!" He looks down at Duvader. "You were right, I think."
genghisdon: "the werewolf is Stanley...and the village needs to decide what to do about him...but if they keep him here, YOU might need to leave here"
Smon: Mara hugs Morgana tight, kissing her cheek. "Stout, the Innkeep? But he's been like a father to me..." she looks thoughtful.
genghisdon: "I think he loves you, in some fashion, which is why the curse brought him to you"
Smon: Fr Bramble, outside: "Lust, and Gluttony... Two sides of the same coin, methinks. Anyway, you lot get your rest, and we'll leave an hour past noon. We can still do 5 hours' walk today."
genghisdon: "he is dangerous when the moon is full"
Goonergeezer: garrick will grab some breakfast and get his head down for a few hours
Smon: Mara: "Loves me? He never said anything. He seemed happy... He has six children, you know."
Mablir Dorlig: Forget the DE I'll have a think about spells after some sleep
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader will do the same as Garrick.
corum: Flynn will rest
Smon: Mara looks nervous. "I am afraid. Stay with me, Morgana."
Smon: Most of you bed down.
genghisdon: "I might be wrong, but I think so...and I am happy to stay"
Smon: Mara: "Let me help you get that armour off..."
genghisdon: "yes, it was too heavy today"
genghisdon: a few kises & some snuggles will do it for M, she is exhausted
Smon: Mara helps Morgana strip, then kisses her again, eyes lidded, body pressing against her... Will the Elf resist her Sapphic charms?
Smon:
genghisdon: nope
Smon: 15 minutes later, Mara looks down at the fast-asleep Elf maid, and sighs.
genghisdon: next time Mara...
Smon: GM: You all sleep until past noon, then wake for lunch feeling much better.
genghisdon: @ Mara "we will have a chance to do more soon, I promise"
Smon: Mara nods, slightly tearful, as Morgana gets dressed. "You're leaving now?"
genghisdon: once lunch is ordered "thanks for waitinbg for us brothers"
genghisdon: (back to Mara) "we said we would escort the priests, but I'll be back'
Smon: Mara sighs. "I would like that."
genghisdon: "me too" give her a big kiss
Smon: Downstairs, Morgana joins the group, Mara waiting a moment before entering behind in her barmaid's outfit.
Smon: Fr Bramble chuckles, cutting into a pork loin. "Welcome, ladies!"
Smon: Stanley's daughters at the bar are looking very worried.
genghisdon: "thanks for waiting for us, brothers...how have the townsfolk decided?"
Smon: Mara speaks to them, then serves you lunch.
Goonergeezer: garrick: why so worried ladies?
Smon: Fr Bramble: "They have not decided yet, but most likely Stanley 'Stout' Shephard will be freed under observation, except for ten days around the full moon. Otherwise they would have to kill him. He cannot be cured at this juncture, to my knowledge."
Smon: "They're holding a vote tonight, after the Fair ends."
Smon: The girls just look at Garrick.
Goonergeezer: garrick: but they could decide upon killing him though
genghisdon: "he was one BIG werewolf...I fear the inn cellar is inadequate to hold him"
genghisdon: "perhaps the authorities at Yggsburgh would be able to help"
Smon: Bramble nods. "Excellent pork..."
Smon: "The boar was slain by you?"
Goonergeezer: Garrick: surely we cannot leave while there is still a chance of his murder
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader Come werewolves in different sizes?
genghisdon: "Opa & I, yes, good is it?"
Smon: Bramble: "mm, yes. I do love a good roast."
genghisdon: Morganna digs into her boar
genghisdon: @ Garrick "we should see this through, I agree"
chris107: Opa has a dainty piece of pork.
Smon: Fr Bramble: "As I understand it, he has only slain chickens and three pigs, and it is questionable whether he can legally be executed in return."
genghisdon: "would you be willing to wait a day Father Bramble?"
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader mumbles As if legal restrictions had ever bothered a mob.
Smon: Bramble shakes his head. "We cannot risk missing the anniversary. It's a most Holy day."
Goonergeezer: garrick: rather than his murder i would see us taking him back to yggsburgh and healing the poor man of his affliction
genghisdon: "good, I don't believe he should be killed, just confined when needed"
genghisdon: "would you hold it ill of us if we remained here?"
Smon: Bramble: "Well, if anyone can help, it would be the Bishop. I can write you a letter of introduction if you wish."
Smon: "If you wish to take him to Yggsburgh."
Goonergeezer: garrick if we are to go with the proiests then we should take this man with us if just to keep him safe from the possibility of a lynching
genghisdon: "that would be wondeful, thank you"
genghisdon: wonderful
Smon: Bramble nods. "This seems the wisest course." He takes out parchment & quill, writes a brief note, then signs it & seals with candlewax and the stamp from his signet ring.
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader Uh? Have we suddenly become werewolf sitters or something?
genghisdon: @ party "what say you all? what should we do? I vote to see this werewolf saga out"
Goonergeezer: would any of you object if stanley came with us if he wanted to?
genghisdon: "no"
Mablir Dorlig: Not really
genghisdon: "we could even take him on the pilgramage, for now"
chris107: 'No......'
genghisdon: OOC : but i know Opa needs training in Yggsburg
Goonergeezer: garrick: indeed let stanley come with us if thats what he wants
Smon: Bramble hands Morgana the note. "Take that and the prisoner to the Grand Temple. Ask for Bishop Oldham."
chris107: OOC Opa only has 21GP to her name
genghisdon: "Oldham, got it, & thank you"
genghisdon: "would u like us to accompany u WITH Stanley?"
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader Could someone brief me what we are up to know? Finding gnomes, escorting priests, sitting werewolfs?
Bloated Blowfish Has exited the room
genghisdon: all of the above, we are multitaskers
Goonergeezer: all 3 i think
genghisdon: (i need the extra xp!)
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader shakes his head. Oh well.
Mablir Dorlig: (don't we all)
Smon: Bramble: "Some of the Fairgoers are heading north, we're going to journey with them up to Edgewood now. God's fortune go with you - I suggest you get Stanley down there today. I will inform the villagers."
chris107: ((So is happy to carry on adventuring))
genghisdon: (yes, we need to get u trained too Mablir!)
Goonergeezer: the gnomes and the priests escort are in the same area and stanley can just tag along
Smon: He rises, speaks to the barmaids, then exits.
genghisdon: "It sounds lime Bramble prefer us to bring Stanley to Yggsburgh, so lets do that"
Smon: OOC: Fr Bramble told you to take Stanley south to Yggsburgh while he goes north to Gaxhill.
genghisdon: like
genghisdon: "farewell Bramble"
genghisdon: to the daughters of stanley "we will try to get whatever help we can for your dad, fear not"
Mablir Dorlig: let's go south then - we can always return with Stanley after he is cured"
Smon: While you finish dining, Bramble is gone a short while, then returns. "I have told MIss Littler and a few others. They agree it is best you take him to Yggsburgh."
Mablir Dorlig: Corak @ Bramble "Fare thee well holy one"
genghisdon: "perhaps we will catch that foul swamp ghoul"
Smon: The daughters nod to Morgana, wiping away tears.
chris107: 'Yes that was horrid!'
Smon: Bramble nods to Corak. "You too, Father. It's a fine set of Companions you have with you."
Mablir Dorlig: I'll go for Command, P from Evil & 2 CLW
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader Sure. There is probably only one. And the swamp is tiny. Finding it should be no problem.
genghisdon: I;ll keep C person, though it hasn't been useful lately
Mablir Dorlig: Maybe Mara would like a trip to the city after her recent scare?
Smon: GM: Villagers under Bramble's direction bring Stanley up from the cellar, now wrapped in chains, they hand you the lock to the key.
Smon: key to the lock
genghisdon: (with Stanley?)
kingmundi Has entered the room
genghisdon: I unchain him
genghisdon: "are you ok Stanley?"
Smon: Stanley rubs his wrists gratefully. "Thanks."
chris107: Opa (Whispers) Better than last night
Smon: "I'm... ok." He looks over at Mara. "I... I'm sorry."
saunatonttu Has entered the room
genghisdon: "they didn't listen very well, did they?"
genghisdon: hi sauna
saunatonttu: gamin?
Smon: y
Smon: Mara looks at Stanley, pauses, then nods. "I know. It wasn't your fault."
chris107: Hi Folks
Smon: Stanley looks much happier at these words, then turns to you. "Ok. I'm ready to go."
genghisdon: "we are going to take you to the Bishop Oldham in Yggsburgh Stanley, he can help you we hope"
Smon: "Fr Bramble told me. Thank you."
genghisdon: smile at Mara "very brave! we will see you all again soon"
genghisdon: we set out
Smon: Mara smiles back at Morgana, then hugs her and gives her a very warm good-bye kiss.
kingmundi Has exited the room
genghisdon: cool, i thought she might want things on the DL, but i guess not
Smon: Mara: "Farewell. I'll wait for you, Morgana."
genghisdon: Morganna responds in kind
chris107:
Smon: The priests and villagers watch the two young women kissing. Bramble coughs. "A friendly kiss is one matter, but tongues should remain in one's own mouth."
genghisdon: @ Duvader "don't fret, we will find your missing cousins someday soon"
Smon: Mara stops, blushing and grinning at the same time. She waves Morgana goodbye.
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader drums with his fingers on a nearby wall, waiting to leave.
genghisdon: heh
Smon: GM: Finally you head out, Stanley in tow.
Smon: /roll 1d8
Smon rolls 1d8 and gets:
4,genghisdon: "bye" M waves back, though she hasn;t any human embarisment
Smon: Setting a good pace you head south, reaching the ferry at just after 3pm.
genghisdon: @ Stanley "you have a good family Stanley, have faith you will be able to return"
chris107: Opa just waves (vapidly) at everyone.
Smon: (Stanley nods to Morgana. "Better than I deserve). You can ring the bell and the ferry takes you over the Urt, no charge.
genghisdon: we do & go
genghisdon: (damn ghoul escapes us!)
chris107: (For now)
Smon: Pushing yourselves to the fastest pace those in heavy armour can manage, you reach Yggsburgh just before dusk.
genghisdon: (shite hawk couldn't scout it out?)
Smon: (ghoul only heals 1 hp/day, same as you)
Smon: (was miles off)
genghisdon: any new guards to charm?
Smon: The Mire is 43 square miles of bog, BTW
Smon: The Rivergate guards ask you about Stanley.
genghisdon: (no worries simon, just havin fun)
chris107: Opa bites her toungue just before declaring 'Oh He's a werewolf!'
genghisdon: "Stanley is a werewolf, and we are taking him to Bishop Oldham to see if he can be cured"
Mablir Dorlig: COrak @ guards "We have just brought him to see Bishop Oldham as he has some illness beyond my power to heal"
Smon: You explain, the guards look nervous at Morgana's words, crossing themselves. You are directed to the Grand Temple of St Cuthbert in the west end of town, opposite the Citadel.
genghisdon: "thanks fellas!" Morganna gives them a wink & heads off the way they said
Smon: When you get there, you see an evening service is underway, the Bishop in his peaked hat and regalia conducting several hundred of Yggsburgh's most respectable residents.
Smon: Anyone want to barge down the aisle?
genghisdon: I/we wait politely
Goonergeezer: is tabitha there?
corum: Flynn "we should not disturb them"
chris107: (Opa giggles at the bishop's funny hat)
genghisdon: not me
genghisdon: heh
corum: "enter by the side door"
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader We could simply approach the bishop's palace and ask the butler for an appointment, like everyone else?
Smon: Garrick looks around - he spots Sir Hawkes and Madam Winifred, sure enough... and there is Tabitha nearby them, between two other young women. No sign of Dame Gertrude though.
genghisdon: M @ Duv "If you like"
genghisdon: "I think it better to put in an appearance here though"
Goonergeezer: Garrick whispered @ corak " how long would it take to perform a marriage ceremony?
genghisdon: (and there is that matter too!)
Smon: After a hymn, Bishop Oldham begins the lesson. "On this, the eve of one of our most holy days, let us turn our thoughts to the Unknown Paladin, who delivered the Eastmark from Evil, just as she is delivered from the erroneous doctrines of the Pholtus-followers..."
genghisdon: amen
Mablir Dorlig: Corak whispers back a full service up to an hour
Goonergeezer: garrick whispered @ corak the bare minimum just so we are legally married
chris107: Opa looks on blankly
Smon: "...Let us give thanks that such errors may never again infest our fair city..."
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader Hej, we are in church. Stop whispering.
Mablir Dorlig: probably about 20 minutes
genghisdon: whisper to Opa "the priests we were gonna escort to her tomb"
Smon: "...For the Lord is merciful, wise and just. Amen."
chris107: Opa @ Garrick - Will she marry you now you've deflowered her and told everybody?
Mablir Dorlig: (based on RC standards)
Smon: "We shall now sing hymn 863, Oh Cuthbert Deliver Thy Miserable Sinner."
Goonergeezer: garrick @ opa whispered i only said it in front of a few people
chris107: Opa @ Morganna - ???
Goonergeezer: and they knew i had anywya
Smon: You see several people in the back rows looking in your direction as they stand to sing.
genghisdon: I just watch
chris107: Opa @ Group - Oh Garrick - They're playing your song!
genghisdon: smile
chris107:
Smon: LOL @chris
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader sings along loudly. It is one of his favorite church songs, the other being "The road to forgiveness".
Smon: A couple junior Clerics were heading in your direction, but stop when they see Duvader singing. They keep an eye on you.
chris107: Opa sings along with enthuisiasm though she's unsure of the words.
Smon: Are you all waiting for the service to end?
genghisdon: (heh, good job Duv)
genghisdon: yes
chris107: (Inserting the word Garrick in place of sinner at every opportunity and giggling)
genghisdon: Did Stanley join in? does he seem to know this religon?
Smon: OK, where you are standing at the back of the Temple, the crowd will pass you as they leave. OK?
Goonergeezer: garrick listens to the words and tries to think if he can make a dirty version of the song
Smon: Stanley follows your lead in singing, he seems to know the words.
genghisdon: sure
genghisdon: I greet Sir Hawkes & co as they do
Smon: GM - ok, the service ends eventually, the congregants begin to file out.
Smon: Morgana steps forward to greet Sir Hawkes. He beams happily. "Ah, lady Morgana! I was just looking for you and your fellows!"
corum: Flynn puts his hood up lest the priest recognises him
Goonergeezer: garrick whispered to tabitha i will contact you soon , will you marry me tabitha i can think of nothing but you"
genghisdon: "Glad to be looked upon, as always Lord Hawkes, a pleasure!"
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader looks embarrassed due to Garricks behaviour.
Smon: Behind him, Tabitha's eyes go wide at the sight of Garrick, He leans in and whispers to her, she looks stunned, She's pale and clearly been crying a lot.
Smon: Sir Hawkes: "All of you, come see me tomorrow afternoon - 3pm?"
genghisdon: "we have been very busy working at helping the communities near Yggsburgh"
Smon: Hawkes: "Oh yes?"
genghisdon: "certainly...and before you go, may i present Stanley, a werewolf of your note"
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader We should get a crier, announcing that we are bringing a werewolf along.
chris107:
corum: Flynn "or a grumpy gnome!"
Smon: Hawkes raises an eyebrow. "A werewolf, eh? He doesn't look like much. Well, I expect the Bishop can help him."
chris107: And another for Garrick to announce his conquests
genghisdon: Morganna mutter "Lord Stanley was the one who first told us of possible werewolf trouble, and deserves to know we have solved it"
Smon: Hawkes: "Ah yes, the Hawfair Werewolf! Indeed!"
genghisdon: "he was MOST fearsome as a wolf man though"
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader @ Flynn. You want another grumpy gnome? He raises his eyebrow.
Smon: He looks over at Opa. "Garrick's conquests? Pretty sharp with the blade, is he?"
saunatonttu Has exited the room
Goonergeezer: garrick hastily: yes my lord i have cut down many a beastie with my blader
chris107: No speach marks there Simon, should have put OOC though
Goonergeezer: blade
corum: Flynn @ hawkes "his sword is legendary!"
Goonergeezer: garrick: indeed Sir Hawkes perhaps you would like to examine it tomorrow
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader Not to mention, this is not the werewolf everyone was fearing. This was just a poor Innkeeper that got bitten.
Smon: Hawkes nods. "That's good - sounds like just the man I'm looking for. Before she left, Dame Gertrude bid me keep her younf niece safe from all harm. I require a trustworthy man of most puissant skill for this task..."
genghisdon: "I think he IS the werewolf"
Smon: He glances at Duvader: "More Werewolves, eh?"
chris107:
saunatonttu Has entered the room
chris107: 'Garrick?'
corum: Flynn "He's your man, Im sure his sword will rise to her protection"
genghisdon: "maybe, but maybe long gone too"
Goonergeezer: garrick: Sir Hawkes i am honoured by your offer and would gladly lay down my life for the protection of your niece
saunatonttu Has exited the room
genghisdon: (snigger)
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader Yes. At least somehow must have bitten this poor fellow, and he is probably still somewhere.
chris107: brb
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader tries to remain polite and serious when he hears the offer to Garrick.
Smon: Hawkes: "Anyway, let me introduce my lady companions. My wife you know. This is my daughter Alicia, and my daughter in law Genevieve. My sons are not here, unfortunately."
Goonergeezer: garrick bows to the ladies
genghisdon: "each more beautiful than the last, greetings ladies"
Smon: http://smonsyggsburgh.blogspot.com/2011/12/nobles.html
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader My pleasure. He bows.
Smon: Alicia and Genevieve smile and curtsey demurely to Morgana. Each is clad in fine but not too ostentatious day dresses, suitable for Church.
genghisdon: I curtsey back & smile
Smon: Tabitha seems to have recovered a bit, and is starting to look hopeful at Sir Hawkes' talk of a bodyguard.
corum: Flynn grunts
Smon: Alicia: "We've heard so much about all your fine band! I heard you rescued Widow Chatterly from a fate worse than death!"
genghisdon: "and good to see you again Tabitha dear, fear not, you will have all the protection you need"
Smon: Genevieve nods: "Imagine what might have happened to her if you hadn't intervened in time!" - she seems to be smiling when she says this, though.
genghisdon: "yes, and the fine Aole as well"
Smon: Alicia: "Ah yes, the Princess! I've seen her at the College." She frowns.
genghisdon: "well, uh, yes"
Smon: Alicia: "...Does the Princess have a friend? A scrawny little magic-user?"
genghisdon: "hard to miss her exotic beauty, yes?"
genghisdon: "not that I know of, why do you ask?"
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader We have not seen her since she enrolled to college.
Smon: You're almost alone with the Hawkes's in the Temple now, a few priests are about.
Smon: Alicia: "I noticed, the second time I saw her... It seemed odd... He had his hands all over her... and her look... I was wondering... if..."
Smon: Alicia reddens slightly.
chris107: Have I missed anything? May be another 5 minutes, just got some chums called round.
genghisdon: "we shall look into the matter" Morganna has death in her eye
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader Well, we will visit her and she probably tell us her news.
Smon: Genevieve: "Don't be silly Alicia, I'm sure it's nothing."
Mablir Dorlig: back
Smon: Alicia nods. "Well, delightful to meet all of you! Do come round tomorrow, as Father says! "
genghisdon: "no, I think something is up, and I thank you for the warning ladies"
Smon: Hawkes nods.
genghisdon: "we need to watch out for each other" give them a wink
genghisdon: "till tommorow then"
Smon: OOC: Can you play past 10pm or should I quit now?
Kjato Ragfoot: ((I can play past 10 pm, can sleep long tomorrow.))
genghisdon: I gotta stop real soon, but u guys can finish this, train & the like
Goonergeezer: garrick on the morrow then, ladies (garricks eyes stare into tabithas"
Mablir Dorlig: how long you thinking of simon?
genghisdon: i can come back in 10
Smon: Tabitha's eyes widen, she nods to Garrick.
genghisdon: be back then
Smon: Say 10.20pm
Mablir Dorlig: No prob with up til 10:30
Smon: ok, will quit by then
Smon: Tabitha is still staring at Garrick when Alicia takes her by the arm and leads her away, the Hawkes's depart.
Kjato Ragfoot: Is the bishop still there?
Smon: The Bishop has retired to a side chamber. A novice priest is watching you.
chris107: Search party from the pub. Sent them packing!
Smon: "Can I assist?" he asks.
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader stubs Morganna. "The letter."
Smon: The young priest coughs.
Mablir Dorlig: Corak @ priests "would it be possible to speak to the bishop - this man needs his aid"
Goonergeezer: garrick turns to corak and whispers as soon as i start my guarding duties for tabitha, if we can meet with you would you perform the ceremony?
Smon: Priest: "What sort of aid, Father?"
Mablir Dorlig: Corak @ priest "this man has been infected by a werewolf and Father Bramble suggested that the Bishop would be able to heal him"
Smon: The young man's eyes widen. "If it is within three nights, a prayer can do so, yes."
Mablir Dorlig: Corak "we fear it may be more than 3 monts since he was infected"
Smon: Priest: "Then... Well, the Bishop does not normally see people without an appointment. I can have this man securely held, and I can consult with the Bishop,"
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader @ Morganna: The Letter Bramble gave you for the bishop!
Smon: GM: As genghis went away, I'll say Morgana hands over the letter.
Smon: He takes the sealed note. "Wait here."
corum: ((is duv like INT 18 or something?))
Mablir Dorlig: Corak "As the moon is not full he does not require securing, would it be possible to make an appointment with the Bishop - we have a letter of introduction"
Smon: (I think Kjato is INT 15 WIS 17) He departs, and returns shortly.
Smon: "The Bishop has read Fr Bramble's letter. He instructs me to escort Stanley to a secure cell. He requires to know your address should he need to consult you."
corum: ((player maybe - character not 10/11))
Mablir Dorlig: Corak "Last time we were here we stayed at the Green Dragon Inn. Please treat this man well he has done no intentional harm"
Smon: The priest nods. "I understand."
chris107: Opa @ Group - I'ts quite expensive at the Green Dragon... can we find some where cheaper?
Mablir Dorlig: Turn to Stanley - "I fear that we must leave you with these Priests for now, but I shall visit you daily until you are cured and join you in prayer"
Goonergeezer: garrick: i will pay for you opa
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader I like the Green Dragon and would like to stay there.
genghisdon: nah, we are adventurers, lets spend it while we got it
Smon: Stanley: "Th-thank you. All of you." He nods to the priest.
genghisdon: "I'm not sure I trust the clerics...maybe Stanley should come with us"
chris107: 'Thanks Garrick, I'll pay you back.'
genghisdon: "why does Stanley need stay here now, while he is no threat?"
Mablir Dorlig: Corak @ Garrick "would it not be best to get her families consent"
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader Those are priests, I doubt they would lie to us or bring somebody into danger.
Goonergeezer: garrick @ corak that would be nice but if you were nobility would you let your niece marry me?
corum: Flynn @ Morganna "perhaps we should not meddle in the ways of these priests"
genghisdon: "they are law-ful priests & might deem a danger to some worth a sacrafice to one"
Mablir Dorlig: Corak "you are a trustworthy companion, I see no reason they would not"
genghisdon: "watchever" @ priest "If Stanley is harmed while he is here, I'll get justice on you & yours for it"
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader If they are lawful, they will act according to law. And I doubt there is a law that says "priests may kill people who are said to be werewolfs on a whim".
genghisdon: "is the gnome correct, priest?"
Goonergeezer: garrick you see the best in me corak, if only it were the same of others
Smon: The priest looks nervously at Morgana and gestures to two burly doormen, maces at their belts. "You should go now."
genghisdon: "will you give assurance that Stanley will be unharmed?"
genghisdon: "it isn't very difficult"
Smon: Stanley: "It's alright, friends. We must trust in the Lord."
Smon: The priest looks at Morgana. "We will do our best for him. That is all I can assure you. You must go now."
genghisdon: "it's your call Stanley...I'll see you tommorow"
genghisdon: I go
chris107: Opa skips out happily
Mablir Dorlig: Corak @ Morgana "If Father Bramble had wanted to see him dead it would have been easy for him to kill him while he was injured"
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader will leave too.
Smon: GM: You exit, the doormen shutting the great doors of the temple behind you.
Mablir Dorlig: Corak @ Priest (Bowing) Thank you father
Smon: The priest nods to Corak.
Smon: Outside, the night wind is chill. Are you going to the Green Dragon?
Goonergeezer: yep#
Kjato Ragfoot: Yes.
Mablir Dorlig: Corak (to self) it would be nice once in a while to enter a holy place without fearing it will end in a fight
chris107: OOC Opa has 21 GP
chris107: OOC 7GP/week yes?
corum: Flynn will pay for Opa
Smon: GM: OK, you head NE and reach the Inn, it's 3.5gp week for room, good food, and sundries.
Smon: 7gp for 2 weeks, long enough to train.
Goonergeezer: garrick hastily puts away his purse upom hearing flynn offering to pay for opa
corum: Hands Opa 7gp - two weeks!
Kjato Ragfoot: OK. Duvader will pay for two weeks.
Mablir Dorlig: Corak will book a room for 2 weeks
chris107: @GM - Training costs?
Goonergeezer: garrick would like a private room for 2 weks please
corum: Flynn "you should self train Opa!"
Smon: (no self training cost) You find you're still pretty tired, and retire early.
chris107: Opa @ Flynn - 'Oooh, can I do that?'
Smon: Rising late the next day, you have a late breakfast, are you going to the Hawkes estate for 3pm?
Goonergeezer: garrick is
chris107: OOC Then thanks guys, Opa can scrape enough together
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader will go along as well.
Smon: Also, are you bathing & wearing clean clothes?
Kjato Ragfoot: Good idea. What will a bath cost?
genghisdon: I'll pay 4
genghisdon: yes, to the Hawkes
Goonergeezer: garrick is bathing and putting on his gentlemans day outfit
Smon: Bath included in your 7gp/fortnight, otherwise 1sp
Mablir Dorlig: Corak will want to visit Stanley before the Hawkes
genghisdon: yes, bath & clean clothes indeed
Goonergeezer: keeping his sword strapped on tho
chris107: Opa will fork out a couple of extra gold for a good bath and some polish for her equipment.
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader does bath, give his worn clothes to be washed and wears his second set.
corum: Flynn does not - he does not see why he should
Smon: If you need to buy a gentleman's day outfit it's 14gp
genghisdon: "Flynn, you smell..take a bath!"
Kjato Ragfoot: Hmm. Good idea. If there is enough time, Duvader will buy a gentlemans outfit. He does not have one.
Smon: Clothes prices here: http://smonsyggsburgh.blogspot.com/2011/12/yggsburgh-prices.html
Goonergeezer: garrick will direct the party to his tailors
Smon: You have a few hours, yes.
corum: Flynn forgets, he has more pressing things on his mind
genghisdon: can't afford any, I am broke after 7 gp
chris107: Opa will settle for having her stuff well washed and pressed while she bathes.
genghisdon: me too
Smon: Everyone but Flynn bathes, Garrick & Duvader in nice clothes too?
chris107: Opa has 5GP left Don if it helps.
genghisdon: naw, u need it to train
Mablir Dorlig: Corak will wear Priestly garb (after a bath)
Smon: OK, thanks.
Kjato Ragfoot: Yes, Duvader buys an gentleman day outfit.
corum: Flynn @ Morg "how much do you need?"
genghisdon: "We will get some pretty dresses, next time we have $ Opa!"
Smon: GM: A little before 3pm you head over to the Hawkes mansion on Scrivner Street, opposite the Schools district.
chris107: (Two weeks @ 7GP/week accommodation whilst self training, -2 for bath, washing and polish still leaves 5GP Don)
genghisdon: @ corum, i dunno, lemmie look
Smon: 2gp is like £200 BTW, that's some fancy polish!
genghisdon: 14 gp Corum
corum: Flyn gives Morg 15gp
corum: ((taken it off my sheet))
Smon: You walk up the driveway and ring the bell, a tall, lean man in Hawkes livery opens the door, he's battle-scarred and looks mid-40s. He looks you over with gimlet eye.
chris107: (Nice oily, smelly bath and good laundery + everything polished and mended?)
Smon: ok
genghisdon: thnx "I'll pay you back Flynn"
Smon: "Your manservant should stay at the Gate lodge" - he points at Flynn.
genghisdon: I get a set of town clothes
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader gives both Morganna and Opa 20 gp before we reach the Hawkes estates.
corum: Flynn grunts
Kjato Ragfoot: So that they have some spare money in case they need it for anything.
chris107: Opa @ Duv - Thanks Duv, but I'm okay thanks
genghisdon: "Thanks Duvader, I'll get you back too!"
corum: ((whats at the gate lodge?))
Kjato Ragfoot: No, it is a present. I insist you take it.
Smon: It's just a cottage for the gatekeeper/gardener.
chris107: Opa will stay back with Flynn.
genghisdon: "no servents here, just a stubborn ranger"
genghisdon: "come on u 2"
chris107: 'All or none' says Opa
Smon: The man opens the gate. "The rest of the Garrick party may enter. You are to leave weapons and armour at the antechamber."
genghisdon: "i didn't bring any " Morganna lies, she has her +1 dagger hidden
Smon: GM: Who is going in and divesting of visible armour & weapons?
corum: ((is the gatekeeper home?))
Goonergeezer: garrick : Sir Ulrich expressed an interest in inspecting my blade if you could have it delivered to the house my good man"
genghisdon: yes
Smon: (yes, you can see chimney smoke)
corum: Flynn @ Opa "I think you should go keep an eye on them" point at garrick
chris107: Opa is in the lodge so can stay equipped?
Mablir Dorlig: Corak divesting himself of weapons (not wearing armour)
Smon: The man looks at Garrick. "You're Garrick. I'm Lars Frank, Sir Ulrich's Esquire."
genghisdon: (sign D&D players & their gear)
chris107: Opa @ Flynn - 'No we stick together.'
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader will do as told.
genghisdon: sigh
genghisdon: (what were the names of the merchants we rescued?)
Smon: So Duvader Garrick Morgana Corak enter, and leave weapons/armour as instructed.
Goonergeezer: garrick: then greetings Lars we may soon share an employer
corum: Flynn @ Opa "ok we will speak to the gatekeeper, I think there is something wrong here"
Smon: Lars nods coolly to Garick. "We'll see."
chris107: (Can't remember Don)
genghisdon: (we didn't leave weapons last time, did we?)
Smon: no
chris107: (NO)
Smon: Opa and Flyn retire to the gatehouse, where a greybeard fellow offers you a cup of tea.
genghisdon: Morganna mentally to Shite hawk "stay near Opa & scawk at her if I'm in trouble, ok?"
chris107: Opa @ Greybeard 'Not for me kind sir.'
genghisdon: Morganna in elven "I'll leave Shite hawk with you to communicate if there is trouble"
Smon: Meanwhile the other of you have stripped off your arsenal. A buxom maid waits by Lars.
chris107: 'I have dined.'
genghisdon: "here you go dearie "hands over Shite hawk
Smon: Lars: "This maid will escort Garick to Sir Ulrich for private discussion. The rest of you follow me."
genghisdon: i follow
corum: Flynn @ greybeard "excuse my brashness sir, Im not used to townfolk, but, I wondered what you thought of Sir hawkes, is he a good man?"
Kjato Ragfoot: I follow him as well.
chris107: Opa pets and strokes Shitehawk, feeding him tidbits left from lunch.
Goonergeezer: garrick gulps
Smon: Gatehouse - The old man chuckles. "Why, he's an Excellent employer!" he sips his tea.
corum: ((this perhaps comes out as illiterate drivel))
Goonergeezer: garrick follows the maid and asks if the house has been busy today?
Smon: Garick follows the maid, enjoying a nice view of her well-rounded rear.
corum: Flynn @ Greybeard "no enemies?"
genghisdon: me too
Smon: She leads him to the stairs. "Yes, sir. Quite busy. Sir Hawkes is in the upstairs drawing room."
genghisdon: human women are so much..fuller
Smon: Greybeard@ Flynn: "Why, no. He's well loved by all the world!" He chuckles.
Kjato Ragfoot: Everyone is so tall around here.
Goonergeezer: garrick: many visitors today?
Smon: The maid doe not elaborate.
corum: Flynn "Protective of his daughters I bet?"
Smon: Lars leads Morgana, Duvader & Corak down a short flight of stairs, into a marbled antechamber. 6 white bath robes - hip length if human sized -hang from the wall. Lars: "Remove your clothes, put on the robes, and go through those far doors. Your hosts are expecting you."
Goonergeezer: garrick remains quiet for the rest of the journey to sir ulrich's chambers rtrying to compose himself
Smon: Greybeard@Flynn: "Daughters? He just has the one girl, Alicia."
genghisdon: "uh, i don't recall joining a cult...do you recognise these robes Corak?"
corum: ((tabitha is his daughter right?))
genghisdon: (nope)
Smon: Garick reaches a door. The maid knocks. Hawkes: "Bring the feller in!"
Goonergeezer: niece
Smon: (nope)
genghisdon: http://smonsyggsburgh.blogspot.com/2011/12/nobles.html
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader are we invited for a bath?
Mablir Dorlig: Are they anything other than bath robes?
corum: Flynn @ Greybeard "and his niece?"
Smon: (Tabitha is his wife's niece)
Goonergeezer: garrick takes a deep breath and enters the room
genghisdon: (wedding robes?)
chris107: ((Shrouds?))
genghisdon: "Corak?"
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader is a little confused about the strange habits of human lords.
Smon: Lars nods to Duvader: "Apparently so. Ring the bell if you require service." He withdraws, shutting the door behind him. From beyond the far door, Duvader Morgana & Corak hear feminine laughter.
Smon: The robes look like fluffy bathrobes.
Mablir Dorlig: What choice do we have?
genghisdon: I'll get dressed in a robe now, dagger strapped to thigh
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader shakes his head and redresses.
genghisdon: "are they used in religous sense Corak?"
genghisdon: "you are one of their priest's right?"
Smon: The maid escorts Garick into a bright, sunny chamber, Hawkes stands, silhouetted dramatically by the window.
Mablir Dorlig: Corak will change into bathrobe and leave his holy symbol around his neck
Mablir Dorlig: Nothing religious in them to my knowledge, unless we are to be baptised
Smon: Corak Morgana & Duvader start to strip off. The robe looks a bit ludicrous on Duvader.
genghisdon: "huh"
genghisdon: lol, not gnome sized! evil!
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader Have you those in gnome size? One for a child would do too.
Smon: Hawkes is looking out the window, facing away from Garick. He speaks: "Come in."
Goonergeezer: Garrick: Good day Sir ulrich i hope the day finds you in good spirits
Smon: (6 robes, all human size, just you 3 in the changing room)
Smon: Hawkes: "Garick. Before we go on. Is there anything you would like to tell me?"
Goonergeezer: garrick walks to the center of the room and waits for ulrich to speak
Mablir Dorlig: (plus 3 others not with us)
genghisdon: heh
genghisdon: defiler of women!
Mablir Dorlig: OOC Garrick or Morganna?
Goonergeezer: Garrick: my lord there is, I am in love with your wifes niece and she with me, may i be so bold as to ask for your permission to marry
Smon: LOL
genghisdon: OOC
Smon: Sir Ulrich turns immediately to face Garick. He glares at you intensely.
Goonergeezer: garrick remains quiet and faces the floor waiting for the inevitible explosion
Smon: "Garick. You are a common born mercenary. An adventurer! You deflower a high born girl, then you have the cheek to stand before me now and demand her hand in marriage?!"
genghisdon: OOC pretty much
Goonergeezer: my lord i did not demand but ask your permission
Smon: Hawkes nods. "Yes, of course. Still, you see just how outrageous this is? Here am I, entrusted by my oldest friend with the care of his daughter, the apple of his eye... Barely has she arrived in Yggsburgh when... "
Smon: Hawkes is starting to grin. "I, I'm sorry, I fear I can't keep this up.."
Goonergeezer: i know my lord it was my fault and the blame should be put solely on me...........
Smon: "HA HA HA!!!" He strides forward and slaps Garrick hard on the back. "You dog!"
Goonergeezer: eh?
Goonergeezer: garrick stutters slightly unsure of his current footing
Smon: Hawkes is still grinning. "You're a very lucky man, boy! There's a dozen lords in Yggsburgh would have you strung up for what you've done!"
Smon: "But me, I'm different. I'm no aristocrat. I was born a commoner like yourself. I came up the hard way, up to my neck in blood and guts!"
Smon: "And to tell the truth, I see a little of myself in you, Garrick. Just a little." He chuckles.
Smon: "I wonder how your friends are getting on?"
Smon: GM OOC: OK I need to stop there. 500 XP each.
Smon: & we can continue on Tuesday.
Goonergeezer: Garrick: she is a most beautiful woman, and if you were not her ward im sure you would be tempted, i have seen your maids and they are all very fair women
chris107: Nice one Simon. So next Thursday?
Goonergeezer: k tyvm smon good game tonight
corum: Thursday?
Mablir Dorlig: See you all Tuesday
Kjato Ragfoot: Ah, damn. 50 Xp short!
Kjato Ragfoot: OK, till Tuesday.
Mablir Dorlig Has exited the room
chris107: Thursday and Saturdays now, yes?
Goonergeezer: i got another level
Smon: Thursday sorry!
Kjato Ragfoot: Oh. Till Thursday then.
obviously not staright away but at some point in my conversation with Sir ulrich i will ask of the possibility of his servants/men at arms to mentor party members in their levelling (myself included)
ReplyDeleteAha an update, please forget my previous post, i now have the info needed, do you want to rp the rest of the meeting with ulrich on thurs? if not then i will go and pay for a year the following day and get training
ReplyDeletewhilst there i would also like to learn to use a bow (do i have to specify short or long?) and spear proficency
ReplyDeleteGM: I expect to finish the Hawkes manor visit Thursday, yup. You get a WP upon reaching 3rd level, you need to specify the type of weapon but I'd be ok to halve penalty (to -1 for Ftr) for using a related weapon. I'd also allow training to let you swap around WPs even without levelling.
ReplyDeletei have 2 profs spare with a third once i reach third, so i'd like to learn Longbow and Spear please
ReplyDeleteOK, yes the Swordsman's Brotherhood could instruct you, 1 week per WP.
ReplyDeletethats np as we are in town for 2 week while flynn is training i believe
ReplyDelete
