Mablir Dorlig: Hi folks - sorry I'm late but RL interfering with RP
Mablir Dorlig: Hi don
genghisdon: can Morganna stalk after the evil rapist once u let him go...he needs mutilation, but i will settle for death
genghisdon: ?
Smon: ok, getting sorted - be a few mins till I'm ready
genghisdon: or if it suits better, I can hunt him down later
genghisdon: ok, can i roll HP?
Goonergeezer: OOC what you do after i leave is up to you but be careful
Smon: Crash looked v bad, yes, at least 1 fatality I think.
genghisdon: well, i don't think i got any back up, so careful is out, but i think his charms will fail vs an elf
corum: ;(
Smon: Wimbledon mummies were "Don't look, Jimmy! Look at the shop windows!"
genghisdon: huh
Smon: Whereas I was more "Fire engines! Firemen!" just not mention the carnage.
corum: missed a saving throw
Smon: Anyway, just catching my breath.
genghisdon: it's funny, wimbledon is just a tennis tourney to me, it's odd to think of as a place..is it a city?
genghisdon: suburb of london?
Goonergeezer: yep
genghisdon: well, sorry to hear of death & destruction at your home giys
corum: Where bouts are you don?
genghisdon: windsor, ontario
corum: Canada cool!
genghisdon: right acrooss from beautiful detroit city michigan
genghisdon: yes, canuck
Smon: OK, I'm settled.
genghisdon: cool, so HP rolls?
Smon: heh no
genghisdon: ok
Smon: Anyone who hasn't, look at comments:http://smonsyggsburgh.blogspot.com/2012/01/session-13-30th-m4-96-yy.html#comment-form
genghisdon: murder? mutilation?
Smon: So, ferret-face has promised to de-love Aole. So Garrick & Corak leave ferret-face and go outside to where Flynn is with Aole?
Smon: Morganna is staggering drunk back to the Hawkes mansion.
corum: Yup! Flynn is telling her about Hawkes and his theories about him
corum: Aole looks bored
genghisdon: sounds fine to me, but drunken morganna has no part in such conversaation & WILL castrate & remove the mage's tongue, or if mercy/expediancy dictates, will simply kill the scum
Goonergeezer: garrick walks out @ aole " Aole my friend we have spoken and your man is all yours again, i am sorry to have disturbed you"
copeab Has entered the room
genghisdon: i lost my horse & armor?
Smon: Yup. She looks a bit anxious. As Garrick walks out she smiles and nods.
Smon: You left it behind AIR.
Smon: Not safe to drink & drive anyway.
copeab: Ah, a session going on?
genghisdon: i thought the last thing i planed to do was ride home & sleep it off
genghisdon: but whatever
corum: Yes copeab but your welcome to lurk ;D
genghisdon: is the horse there the next day?
Smon: Aole nods to Garrick and goes inside, where there is some commotion as the dark-haired woman has summoned the Porters, but I'll say Duvader sneaks out unseen,
copeab: I will try not to kibitz
Smon: Flynn & Garrick can take Morganna's gear back to the Hawkes estate.
Goonergeezer: we do so
corum: Flynn will lead Morgs horse back after loading the armour on
genghisdon: well i need to go back to tell of those stupid boys...let them know how GOOD sex requires some functional brain activity & they missed out due their stupidity & that if i find out they drug/drunken rape anyone else, I'll cast a spell to wither their manhoods off
genghisdon: try to set them on a manhood rather than boy/rapist path
genghisdon: but that's not too important, anything else on our immediate agenda?
genghisdon: a party or something?
corum: Flynn needs to train and level if thats possible
Goonergeezer: ooc nothing immediate, but i would like to try to make a trip to the mouths of madness
Goonergeezer: ooo yes there is a gala to attend
genghisdon: training would be cool
corum: We need to save the gnome for later id no Duv
corum: if
genghisdon: lol, we never get that far from town without side adventures anyway, so who are we kidding?
genghisdon: the gnomes are a year off
corum: :-)
Mablir Dorlig: (Corak not yet ready for 4th level
)
genghisdon: I'm ready for L2
corum: ((Flynn only just made L3))
Smon: OK, back from dealing w 4 year old,
genghisdon: (BTW gooner, are we giving up on the thieves/slavers cause the pigs took over?)
Smon: Do you want to train and move ahead 1-2 weeks?
genghisdon: sure
Goonergeezer: we can go back and see what we can do with the thieves guild
Goonergeezer: after we train
Smon: ok
Smon: Gooner PM'd me this for Garrick: " Hiya, presuming that all goes well and i get back to the hawkes mansion upon my arrival there i will ask if i can speak with Hawkes on an urgent matter. If i should get an audience with him i will explain the situation with the mage and his suspect activity with female students and give him a full briefing, "I was wondering if this could be used to your advantage in some way, you know protecting the virtue of these young ladies and helping keep the name of the college in high esteem" I will also ask if he does make a move on the information i have gathered that i might be kept out of it as i made a promise and although the man is scum, my word is my bond and i will not break it"
Mablir Dorlig: Corak will deduct 7 gp upkeep if others need training
Smon: I'm right you don't recall ferret-face's name, do you?
genghisdon: don't we have a rich poatron to pay for training now?
Smon: Only Corak needs to pay upkeep.
genghisdon: or are we fired/cast out of the mansion?
Goonergeezer: no i cannot remember it all all
genghisdon: or some of us?
Smon: You can take 2 weeks training; Garrick has arranged to have a disused stable near the rear entrance turned into your new base.
genghisdon: do Aole & the magic teacher get un-love charmed?
Smon: Sir Hawkes can have an old sage-professor from the Academy of Magic mentor Morganna, so she can level up as M-U in 1 week, and Lars Frank train her (& Garrick) as Fighters, taking 1 week.
Smon: Flynn needs 2 weeks to self-train as Ranger.
genghisdon: and would they like me to take proper vengeance on the mage or simply dispose of him?
genghisdon: sweet
Smon: If you're all agreed you're taking the 2 weeks to train, you can roll level-up dice now.
genghisdon rolls 1d5 and gets: 2
genghisdon rolls 1d2 and gets: 1
genghisdon: crap
Smon: +3 for Morganna.
genghisdon: i can see morganna ain't gonna be a keeper
genghisdon: learn sleep
genghisdon rolls 1d100 and gets:
22,
genghisdon: yes
genghisdon: spells mem now charm person & sleep
Smon: OK, in the College Library, Morganna masters the art of Sleep
genghisdon: (can i train with mistress of enchantment, submissive dom teacher?)
genghisdon: lol
genghisdon: not really sleep..but whatever
Smon: You train with a greybeard who looks about 70
genghisdon: good luck on HP guys
Smon: Anyone else levelling?
corum: Hp for Flynn
corum rolls 1d8 and gets:
8,
corum: :-)
corum: +3
Smon: nice
Smon: 33 hp!
Mablir Dorlig:
Smon: That'll take awhile to chew through
corum: Im sure you'll find a way to loose them fast Simon!
Smon: Garrick was already Ftr 3 and Corak C3, right?
Smon: So that's everyone?
Goonergeezer: yep
corum: to hit down to Thac0 18 and saves adjusted, PMed my sheet!
Smon: cheers
genghisdon: yay!
copeab: Smon, might I suggezt you use a gorgoyle aganst them next time
genghisdon: hee i have 10 HP
copeab: http://books.google.com/books?id=rJiwHqqF0RoC&pg=PT111&lpg=PT110&ots=fQ7SQawNJk&dq=gorgoyle+ninja&output=html_text
genghisdon: medusa gargoyle, very cool
genghisdon: please don't kill us with that..yet
Smon: 12 hp w Lightning Morganna
genghisdon: I'll buy a suit of leather armor & some hoodie/clandestine type clothes...about 8 gp?
genghisdon: i know
Smon: ok
genghisdon: with opa & duv gone I'm the ninja/thief for the party today
genghisdon: yay
genghisdon: where to guys?
Smon: GM: OK, while you are training one evening, Aole calls round, looking a bit confused, and tells you she's moved out of her shared room with Radley into public dormitory accommodation. "I don't know what I saw in him..."
genghisdon: (duv trains too, off screen)
copeab: Barrier Peaks?
genghisdon: not today
Smon: (agree re Duvader) When Garrick spoke with Hawkes he promised to look into it.
Smon: But it doesn't look like much has happened.
Goonergeezer: @gm how long till the gala ulrich is planning?#
genghisdon: Morganna promises to herself to deal with the rapist on her own, in secret, but not today
Goonergeezer: i say we go and have a bash at the thieves guild and go to mouths of madness after the gala
genghisdon: ok
Smon: The Grand Soiree hosted by Miss Candice Wright is set for 3 days' time.
genghisdon: into the sewers then & look for secret rooms? or talk to john law about our kinky eastern rogue or other?
Goonergeezer: thieves guild then i say
Mablir Dorlig: (Corak probably not been invited as he gets on so well with Hawkes & Co)
genghisdon: yes, and?
corum: Flynn is not looking forward to battling 100+ thieves
genghisdon: "come on Flynn, we can handle 20=30 at a time, surely"
Goonergeezer: well lets go and see what happenes if it starts getting a bit dicey we will leave
Smon: The morning after Morganna & Flynn complete training, Sir Hawkes asks you all to attend a planning meeting with him & Lars Frank.
genghisdon: "criminals are a cowardly & superstitous lot, after all"
genghisdon: ok, Morganna attends
corum: Flynn will foloow morganna
corum: follow
Goonergeezer: garrick also attends
Mablir Dorlig: Corak: They've probably set guards in the haberdashers entrance
Smon: GM: After breakfast you meet with Sir Hawkes and Lars in a meeting room with table and chairs.
Eliana Has entered the room
genghisdon: "any entrance will do, & i prefer no one else know we are coming this time"
genghisdon: hi eli
Smon: Sir Hawkes nods cordially. "Morning, Garrick, everyone. I have an update on the kidnapping situation."
Eliana crawls silently along the shadowy walls of Smon's Crypt!
genghisdon: "excellent"
genghisdon: (tis a sewer again today Eli dear)
Goonergeezer: garrick: good news indeed is there anything for us to follow up?
Eliana:
Smon: "Luckily for us the Deputy Night Sheriff is a lot more impressed with you than the Sheriff, and he's been keeping me informed."
genghisdon: lol
genghisdon: "I stunned the woman isn't dead or released by now"
genghisdon: I am stunned
genghisdon: "a good omen for us"
genghisdon: (also glad BTW, she did surrender without a fight)
genghisdon: "I'm sorry Lord Hawkes, pray continue"
Smon: "Not released, no. As I understand it, her victim Sylvia Caldwell was established to be still virgo intacta, so no rape charge, but Gulaza was still convicted as accessory to kidnapping, that being branding and 10 years' penal servitude."
copeab Has exited the room
corum: All Flynn can think about is leather and whips...
genghisdon: heh
genghisdon: "any chance to cut a deal with her, info in return for leniancy?"
Smon: "Meanwhile Bodvik, the former head of Rasch security, was convicted of the kidnapping and rape of Miss Victoria Markle, that being branding and 30 years' servitude, plus 10 as accessory to kidnapping of Sylvia, for 40 years, and has been sent to the salt mines."
genghisdon: "too leniant, but not too terible"
Smon: Hawkes nods to Morganna. "We think alike. Normally Gulaza would be sent to the salt mines too, and would be unlikely to last more than a few weeks, but I have arranged for her to be delivered to our custody. I believe she is an agent of Talworth, and I suspect she knows of their machinations against our fair city."
Smon: "The deal I have with the Gaol is that she is indentured to the Hawkes estate, but can be returned for confinement to the salt mines at our discretion."
genghisdon: "well, I can use persuasive magics like the slimeball weazel wizard also, though NEVER to secure sexual favours"
genghisdon: "Gulaza may well be VERY helpful to us"
Smon: Hawkes nods. "I'm sure you don't need magic for *that.* he grins at Morganna.
Goonergeezer: garrick@ all " i am sure i can get her to talk"
genghisdon: "why thank you, but yes, that is truth"
genghisdon: @ Garrick "no need for thuggery in this matter Garrick, dear"
corum: Flynn @ Hawkes "When does she arrive?"
Smon: Hawkes smiles. "Neither Bodvik nor Gulaza implicated others. I believe aproaches have been made to the Thieves' Guild, that they had better tone down their activities and be damn careful what they let their tunnels be used for. Unfortunately political issues mean that not much more than that will be done against them. The Mayor doesn't want a war with them."
genghisdon: "and can we escort her? it is a prime time to spring her free, on the move"
Smon: @Flynn: "She's waiting in a Gaol cell, I can have her brought here today, if you wish."
Smon: Hawkes nods to Morganna. "Yes, if you want to pick her up, that's a good idea."
corum: Flynn @ Group "we should find out what she knows before we make any plans
genghisdon: "at your command of time, lord Hawkes",
Smon: Hawkes nods. "I'll send a sealed missive with you, authorising you to bring her here. When she gets here, how you extract information from her is up to you."
Goonergeezer: garick: we all have our own methods
genghisdon: "as you command, milord" Morganna looks at her comrades in arms "shall we be off to the gaol?"
Goonergeezer: garrick: sooner rather than later i say
corum: Flynn @ Hawkes+Garrick "He has a magic sword" pinches fingers to indicate tiny size!
genghisdon: In hawkes armor/livery or not? Lightning can fly point, to spot ambushes, any other ideas?
Goonergeezer: let taske off our hawkes tabard etc
corum:
genghisdon: ok, morganna will go in her banded
Goonergeezer: garrick: we dont want to draw attention to ourselves
corum: Flynn prefers banded so also switches
genghisdon: we will bring a spare sackcloth robe & helm, for the prissoner to conceal her ID
Smon: Hawkes nods. "Oh, one more thing. Garrick, I made some enquiries. Your friend Aole, her ex room mate is Radley Proctor, grandson of former mayor Brandon Proctor, whose daughter is the wife of my friend Hector Markle, who as you know is President of Yggsburgh College. Suffice to say it's a powerful family."
genghisdon: "and one fond of rape, how charming!"
Goonergeezer: garrick: then perhaps his family should be made aware that one of their own is drawing a bad light upon the family
Goonergeezer: garrick: let them deal with it internally
genghisdon: "i suggest we simply ignore the issue, I am certain nature will settle the matter equitably"
genghisdon: "no sense creating enemies & all that"
corum: Flynn "I agree, Aole is out of harms way now"
Mablir Dorlig: (almost mafia like the way these families are all inter related)
Goonergeezer: garrick: indeed, his own actions will be his downfall
genghisdon: (yes, but noble families are that way)
genghisdon: Morganna thibnks to her self...yes, they certainly will be his downfall...
Smon: Ulrich: "My understanding from what Garrick has told me is that there is an indication of magical coercion, which is a crime, but no sign of the violence necessary for a rape charge. If your friend is safe I'd suggest you let it lie. I don't want Madam Agatha Markle disturbed again, she's only just getting over what happened to Victoria."
Goonergeezer: garrick: let us get ready and depart to the gaol then
genghisdon: (will aoel be joining us tonight?)
Mablir Dorlig: (So what level spell will Shrivel Manhood be when Morganna researches it)
genghisdon: (tis but a threat, the threat is the real power of magic Mabir)
Smon: LOL OOC: I'm not allowed to tell you the spell level, per DMG
Goonergeezer: ooc a reversable Viagra spell
genghisdon: (but too be honest, pretty low level,,,it has little mechanical consequwnces in game)
genghisdon: (prob L1 -2)
Mablir Dorlig: (Maybe it fits better as a Druidic spell anyway - something similar to a reversible Plant Growth)
genghisdon: (and yes, I've cast the reverse on Garrick sometimes, for he a Tabitha's pleasure)
Smon:
genghisdon: (preety sure it's a minor malison/hex/curse effect)
genghisdon: (i could see it in cleric, druidic, MU or even Ill form)
genghisdon: (but that's in the future)
Eliana suggests a new curse... warp manhood!
genghisdon: so we get the letter, head to gaol in our old armor/clothes, with lightning scouting above & ahead of us, there & back
Smon: Ulrich: "Well, I'm glad we're all agreed." He writes out a seals a note for you to take to the Gaol. "Let me know when you have anything to report."
Smon: /roll 1d8
Smon rolls 1d8 and gets:
2,
genghisdon: (warp manhood? maybe her twisted characters can invent it, but not me!)
genghisdon: (is that like a warp/shape for "her added pleasure" thing?"
Smon: wife home, thank God!
Smon: (Was expecting her more like 11pm)
Eliana Has exited the room
genghisdon: cool
genghisdon: oops, was it something i said?
Mablir Dorlig:
Smon: Bill has strewn my minis all over the floor, but at least I should now be able to play ok
genghisdon: heh
genghisdon: @ Corak "BTW, we need to get you some armor, sir...preferably before you get killed"
corum: best place for em simon!
Smon: GM: OK, you leave the Hawkes mansion. It's a cloudy, blustery day as you walk through the late-morning streets.
genghisdon: (no, they are like calrops, very bad on floor!)
Mablir Dorlig: (Corak has Banded Mail and Shield but doesn't normally wear it in Town)
genghisdon: (ok, though u were still in mail)
genghisdon: thought
genghisdon: (wear it today)
genghisdon: (we are the banded brotherhood, if anyone asks)
Smon: Morganna & Garrick in plate?
Mablir Dorlig: (have done, was expecting thief hunting)
genghisdon: no, in her banded
Goonergeezer: yep, garricks plated up
Smon: Flynn in banded?
corum: Flynn in his banded yes
genghisdon: ( i thought this was a no hawkes gear jaunt?)
corum: Ranger in plate is just wrong!
genghisdon: (naw, but magic plate would be better)
genghisdon: (or magic/elfin whatever)
Goonergeezer: garrick is wearing a plain tabard over any insignia he cannot remove from the plate
Mablir Dorlig: (Corak needs to upgrade to Plate at some point)
Eliana Has entered the room
genghisdon: who is going mounted?
genghisdon: Morganna does
Smon: You MUST be officially Hawkes, or you wouldn't be allowed to collect Gulaza, genghis(!)
genghisdon: WB eli , hope i didn't offend
genghisdon: well, we don't havbe to look it do we?
genghisdon: but fine, hawkes & plate & horse it is then
Smon: Where did you get this 'no Hawkes gear' thing from?
Goonergeezer: we just want to disguise any insignia until we pick gulaza up]#
genghisdon: our plan earlier simon, but it's no big
Smon: ok, as you wish.
Mablir Dorlig: (Not a prob for Corak)
Smon: You go in plain gear, no insignia, to avoid alerting anyone presumably.
genghisdon: that was the plan
Smon: At the Gaol the Bailiffs greet you. "Yes?"
Goonergeezer: yep was just typing all that out smon lol
genghisdon: for good or ill, i dunno, haven't slept in a long while
Smon: hm
genghisdon: I hand him the letter "we have a prisoner to pick up"
Goonergeezer: good evening sirs, we have a letter for you
Smon: (it's 11am)
Smon: The Bailiff nods and takes the letter, breaks the seal, reads and nods.
Goonergeezer: good morning sirs, we have a letter for you
genghisdon: (yeah diff time zone & i skipped sleep for a day...ask Eli how it works)
Smon: "You're the Hawkes men? Where's your tabards?"
genghisdon: "shh...we are in a clever disguise," Morganna winks at him
Smon: /roll 1d100+5
Smon rolls 1d100+5 and gets:
55, (+5) = 60
Smon: He frowns, but nods. "I see. Come with me."
corum: Flynn "we didnt wish to draw the attention of the thieves guild"
genghisdon: (morganna might as well have 17 chr, hee)
Goonergeezer: garrick: we did not want to expose ourselves to be hawkes men we fear the collegues of the prisoner might attempt a break out
genghisdon: i follow him
Smon: He leads you downstairs to a prison block, corridor lined with heavy doors, takes a key from the jailer and unlocks a cell door. "She's in there. Remember, she's property of the city. Break her, you pay for her."
Smon: He nods to Garrick. "Right."
genghisdon: "oh, we hope to keep her quite unharmed"
Goonergeezer: garrick do you need us to sign anything?
genghisdon: before i open her cell, I cast charm person on her
Smon: Not possible.
Smon: Unless you open the window slit first/
genghisdon: she isn't in her cell?
genghisdon: ah, got ay
Smon: No, you can't cast through closed doors
genghisdon: "gentlemen, Flynn, could you get our prisoner?"
Goonergeezer: garrick: if you want a clear sight to cast your spell i will hold her still if you want
genghisdon: (thinking jail, not door, my bad)
genghisdon: (Gulza her name, yes?)
corum: Flynn "i thought you would never ask!"
Goonergeezer: (yep)
corum: Flynn opens the cell door and grabs Gulaza - again!
Smon: You open the door, you can make out Gulaza curled up in the corner of the cell in the same kinky outfit as when you captured her, she has few new bruises. Flynn goes forward and hauls her to her feet.
Smon: She glares at Flynn.
genghisdon: i cast charm person on her
Goonergeezer: garrick: Hello again Gulaza, remember me? well the same rules apply my love, you struggle and i'll carve your face, remember?
genghisdon: "and again i'll intervene on your behaf Gulza"
Smon: She glares at Garrick, lip trembling a little. Morganna casts CP.
Smon: /roll 1d20
Smon rolls 1d20 and gets:
11,
Goonergeezer: (good cop, bad cop)
genghisdon: "i'm sorry my friends threw you down that hole & that the guards mistreated you here"
corum: Flynn holds her wrists behind her back and moves her over to morganna
Smon: Gulaza's expression softens as she looks at Morganna.
Smon: Gulaza @Morganna: "Pl-please help me..."
Smon: "They say they will send me to the salt mines!"
genghisdon: "would you like to tell us something we could use as a token of trust, so that I can lessen your terrible & injust sentence?"
Smon: Gulaza: "What do you mean?"
genghisdon: "I'll protect you dear" M sroke her hair softly
genghisdon: strokes
corum: Flynn @ Morg "the hole was necessary, if we wished t escape alive!"
genghisdon: "there there"
Smon: Gulaza's lip trembles as she looks at Garrick, and Flynn holding her.
genghisdon: "don't listen to Flynn, he's not as mean as he sounds"
corum: Flynn lets go of Gulaza
Smon: The Bailiff watches curiously.
genghisdon: "maybe you could tell us who is behind the kidnappings?"
Mablir Dorlig: Corak @ M "I notice she has some new bruises - does she need curing?"
genghisdon: "but not yet"
Eliana: 3xx
genghisdon: "she does father corak, if you would"
corum: Flynn grunts
genghisdon: "Gulza, let the kind priest heal you, ok?"
Mablir Dorlig rolls 1d8 and gets:2,
Goonergeezer: lets not heal her until we gat back to base
genghisdon: 3xxx sometimes, but i shouldn't play female chr i guess
Smon: Gulaza looks at the Bailiff. "It was Bodvik who was behind the kidnappings. I have told them this."
Mablir Dorlig: (Not my best but should do for bruises)
genghisdon: (very kind hearted)
Eliana: 3me was a typo....
Smon: Corak casts clw & lays on hands, the bruises vanish. "Thank you" says Gulaza.
genghisdon: ?
Eliana Has exited the room
Eliana was a typo... 3xx
Eliana Has entered the room
genghisdon: "well, Gulza, we need to get you through the city unnoticed, so please put on his robe & hood, then let me bind your hands, ok?
Smon: Bailiff: "Note says you're taking her, right?"
genghisdon: "then we will take you to a less harsh fate than salt mines, i promise"
genghisdon: "on our way Balif"
Smon: Gulaza nods to Morganna, she'll put on the robe.
Goonergeezer: garrick@ bailiff correct we are taking her
Smon: What kind of hood is it? Just a cowl?
genghisdon: sure
Smon: GM: OK you put the hood over her head, and can manacle her.
Smon: The Bailiffs escort you out onto the windy noonday street.
genghisdon: ok
Smon: /roll 1d10
Smon rolls 1d10 and gets:
4,
genghisdon: I get her up on my horse
genghisdon: menatally to lightning "see anyone up on the rooftops or alleys?"
genghisdon: mentally
genghisdon: then double ride with her
Smon: Your precautions maybe pay off, since despite putting Gulaza up on a horse for all to see, you get her back safely to the Hawkes estate.
Goonergeezer: garrick: you can both double ride me wenches
genghisdon: (mental note, my poor horse often gets stuck carring 2, feed him some apples)
Smon: Are you taking her to your new base in the old stables?
genghisdon: (no ride with garrick)
genghisdon: yep
genghisdon: (unless someone thinbks no?)
Goonergeezer: no, defo take her there
genghisdon: i unhood & unrobe her
genghisdon: unmancle her
Smon: GM: OK you take Gulaza into your base, it's spartan compared to even the servant quarters of the mansion, but habitable.
Smon: Hawkes also provided you with interrogation tools in case CP proved inadequate.
genghisdon: "so Gulza, this will likely be your home for some time, provided you will co operate with me/us"
Smon: Gulaza rubs her wrists, nodding gratefully to Morganna.
Goonergeezer: Garrick: it looks like a harlots dosshouse but we can do her up
genghisdon: CP is effective, either today, or tommorow, or 2 days from now
Smon:
genghisdon: (certainly more so than tortur!)
Smon: Probably.
Smon: Depends on player skill...
genghisdon: "could some one collect lord H, so we can find out what we are after?"
Mablir Dorlig: (Think we still need her restrained at night)
Goonergeezer: garrick puts his vote to torture if this doesnt pay off after today
genghisdon: "sigh, go fetch your lord, brute"
Mablir Dorlig: Corak mumbles "Probably the king of the thieves is his brother in law"
Smon: LOL
genghisdon: "probably...is he gulza?"
genghisdon: "and if the servants will allow us food & drink, send us them too!"
Goonergeezer: garrick goes off to see hawkes and informs him tha we have her in the stables now and if there is any specific info he wants or needs
genghisdon: (champagne & sex on day one, a crude stable on day 2..woe is us)
Goonergeezer: garrick: shouting back "if you want food i suggest you get off your pretty arse and get it yourself"
Mablir Dorlig: (Such is the life of an adventurere)
genghisdon: "be careful, my spell will SHRIVEL manhoods as it's primary function Garrick"
corum: Flynn quietly @ Morganna "I see no point in torture, if they try it I'll arrange an escape for her"
genghisdon: @ Flynn "thank you Flynn, I know you have a good heart, as poor Opa was falling for you"
genghisdon: "but i don't think the other men are beyond reason yet"
Smon: A skimpily uniformed maid escorts Garrick to where Hawkes & Lars are having a whisky. Hawkes nods to Garrick. "I'm thinking she's an Easterling, she must be working for Talworth. There's a big slave market in Dradville, seat of the Purple Tower and Uvoll Darktarn. Find out her connection."
genghisdon: (she is here.heard that?)
Smon: Garrick is in an oak-panelled study with Ulrich & Lars.
genghisdon: (if so) " please answer your new lord Gulza, so we can make life better for you"
Smon: No other PC.
genghisdon: ah
corum: @ Morg "I do not care for the laws of city folk, they mean nothing to me!"
genghisdon: "i couldn't agree more"
Smon: (genghis w no sleep is even more genghisy than regular genghis)
Goonergeezer: on his way back to relay the message fffrom hawkes garrick grabs a servant ask asks her to bring out food and drink for 6 to the stable
Smon: The maid nods. "Yes sir,"
genghisdon: " I WAS here simply to help Garrick get laid, but his fetch food & drink comment shall cost him"
Goonergeezer: garick relays the message in a whisper to morganna#
Smon: Garrick returns and relays the instruction.
genghisdon: @ Gulza "Gulza dear, you must be parched, have a sip of this wine"
genghisdon: offer her some of my wineskin
Smon: Gulaza drinks eagerly.
genghisdon: (genghisy..u made an adverb for me simon..cool!)
Smon: "The wine is good..." she wipes the red liquid from her mouth.
corum: Flynn @ Garrick "I suggest we leave the ladies alone, lets sit away some!"
Goonergeezer: garrick@ flynn aye lets give her the room to glean what she can4
genghisdon: once she has had her drink "yes it is passable...now Gulza I need you to tell me who you worked for, ok?'
corum: Flynn will move to sit just within earshot and keep his wits about him for any trouble
genghisdon: "you guys can stay, if you are civil"
Smon: The buxom dark-haired maid in the skimpy Hawkes maidservant uniform comes out from the mansion bearing a large platter of food. "Here you are, sirs."
genghisdon: (and feel free to offer suggestions)
Goonergeezer: garrick@ morganna " my love you know i is civil, i just has these funny turns y'know
genghisdon: "why thank you my lovely...what was your name again
genghisdon: ?
Smon: Gulaza looks at Flynn & co in earshot. "I told you, Brodvik."
Eliana Has exited the room
genghisdon: (full bottom)
corum: Flynn whispers to Morganna "you may have more luck without us"
Smon: The maid smiles at Morganna. "I'm Florence, Ma'am, or just Flo."
genghisdon: and who did Brodvik work for then? surely a capable woman like yourself didn't work for a belhop?
Goonergeezer: garrick: this brodvik sounds like a vile man, do you know who his boss was?
corum: nned whisky back in 2 mins
Mablir Dorlig: (How many exits from this place)
genghisdon: "Florence, lovely name, it suits you" smiles at her
Smon: (Just the stable double doors out). Gulaza glares at Garrick.
Smon: Florence giggles at Morganna and withdraws, smiling.
Goonergeezer: garrick: i know when i aint wanted i'll leave you two here
genghisdon: "answer him Gulza, but you can tell us how great Brodvik was, if that;s what you thought"
Goonergeezer: garrick leaves and waits just outside the stable doors
Mablir Dorlig: Corak will sit outside keeping an eye on the doors
genghisdon: (stay)
genghisdon: ack
genghisdon: fine
Goonergeezer: garrick@ flynn you stay inside and keep an eye on morgy
Mablir Dorlig: Corak @ Garrick "Maybe it would be an idea if once the spell wears off you were to ask her to choose which cheek she wants scarred if she doesn't answer"
genghisdon: (does she answer?)
genghisdon: (not helping!)
Mablir Dorlig: Corak "Obviously no intention of really doing it but maybe the threat will be enough"
Goonergeezer: garrick@ corak when we get to that stage call me, until then i am more of a hinderance than a help
Mablir Dorlig: (She shouldn't really be able to hear us outside speaking to each other)
genghisdon: (thf, hear noise %? best case)
corum: flynn waits just inside the doors
Smon: Gulaza looks around, confused, then leans in close to Morganna: "I must speak with you alone. Without these scum in attendance. They are enemies."
Smon: (whispering)
genghisdon: "I think we're alone now" Morganna croons
Smon: GM: A bunch of PCs are still clearly in earshot - "corum: flynn waits just inside the doors" etc
Goonergeezer: ooc Fuck i got that tiffany song from the 80's in my head now
genghisdon: if not, she shushes off the others & starts to eat, handing over tasty morsels to Gulza
genghisdon: me too!
genghisdon: "Give us ladies some privacy boys!"
Smon: GM: Are Flynn, Garrick and Corum going to withdraw out of earshot?
genghisdon: "take a walk, sharpen your sword, whatever"
Smon: Rem you're not Thieves with Hide in Shadows, Hear Noise et al.
Mablir Dorlig: (Corak & Garrick were already outside)
genghisdon: (but she is)
Smon: It's the middle of the day, lots of light, an open stable block & open ground around it.
genghisdon: (i think)
genghisdon: "close the doors on the way outm please Fynn"
corum: Flynn heads out
genghisdon: F;lynn
Goonergeezer: garrick will stand 10 foot away from the door and notch an arrow to his bow waiting to see if anyone tries coming out
Smon: Flynn shuts the door?
Smon: /roll 1d100
genghisdon: "he's really not that bad Gulza..well, sometimes he's not"
Smon rolls 1d100 and gets:
63,
corum: Flynn closes the doors
corum: Flynn @ Garrick "not sure I like this, but Morg is tough as, sh'll be right"
Smon: Gulaza looks at Morganna. "They are probably outside, spying on us."
genghisdon: (dude made sex dolls out of women with charm & i can't get this chick to lossen up? sheesh!)
genghisdon: "don't worry about them dear, we need to worry about you"
Goonergeezer: garrick: if morg aint the first one out of that door my arrow flies
Smon: /roll 1d100+5
genghisdon: feed her a choice piece of beef
Smon rolls 1d100+5 and gets:22, (+5) = 27
Smon: Gulaza eats the beef. "I trust you, but those men are Enemies. You should not consort with them."
genghisdon: "Beleive me, I only consort with them in their dreams Gulza"
Smon: (dude made sex dolls out of women with charm & i can't get this chick to lossen up? sheesh!) - You haven't tried that yet. Anyway Charm doesn't affect NPC attitude to others, just you.
genghisdon: "but again, for me to help you, you need to help me learn about some things"
Smon: Gulaza nods.
Smon: GM: Are any PCs other than Morganna staying outside w/in earshot?
Goonergeezer: garrick is out of earshot
Smon: Earshot of quiet conversation that is, not screams.
genghisdon: "so tell me what you know about Talwerth"
Smon: Flynn & Corak still in earshot?
Smon: /roll 1d100
Smon rolls 1d100 and gets:22,
Mablir Dorlig: Corak jut wanted a view of the doors
corum: Flynn is prob just outside the doors
corum: @ DM your call
Smon: (Flynn is making it far harder for Morganna. That's the last time I'll tell you). Gulaza glances at the door, then leans in close and whispers (so no one outside can hear): "I was sent from Talworth."
corum: not trying to listen if thats what you mean
genghisdon: whisper back "we knew dear"
genghisdon: "why? and who else were you working with?"
Smon: Gulaza: "You don't work for the Purple Tower?"
genghisdon: whisper " i work for no one Gulza, though i pretend to sometimes"
Smon: Gulaza nods. "You should join us. I was sworn to secrecy, but I feel I can trust you."
Smon: "But one of those thugs is just outside the door."
genghisdon: "but you can tell me about purple tower, and i can get you easy time"
genghisdon: "hold on a moment" Morganna walks over to the doors, looks to Gulza for guidance, then pounds the door with fist "Get lost!"
corum: (man I was the first to offer to move out - just rule I cant hear??)
Smon: Gulaza glances at the door, then whispers again: "Lord Uvoll Darktarn, the Lord of the Purple Tower. He is my true master. Not the Thieves' Guild."
Smon: (you can't hear the whispers, unless you had Hear Noise. Gulaza DOES have Hear Noise and made her %s to track you.)
genghisdon: "got it, and why are you here, what's your mission?"
Mablir Dorlig: (OOC: I feel the need to play a NE character sometime soon)
genghisdon: (lol)
genghisdon: (i like heros, but baddies can be fun)
Mablir Dorlig: (maybe a C/T)
corum: @ Garrick (whilst stood well out of Gulaza's earshot) forget what I said perhaps we should torture her!
genghisdon: lol
Smon: Gulaza: "We were sent to seize the women of the East Mark, especially those of the Elite. It is part of the Marquis Talworth's plan to weaken and degrade them. Perhaps they will declare war - then all three of the Great Powers will crush them..." she grins evilly.
Smon: "But it is not yet time for Yggsburgh to know of this."
genghisdon: "An ingenious plan..."
genghisdon: "and ambitous for a pair...how many more of you are in Ygssburgh?"
Goonergeezer: garrick@flynn: if we were to torture her she would be of no use to hawkes, i feel he will have use for her enough once we finish
Smon: Gulaza: "There are many agents, but we are not revealed, each to the other."
Mablir Dorlig: Corak @ Garrick "tell her she has a maximum of 4 days to answer - if she doesn't choose which cheek to be scarred then all 4 get it and she only has one day - maybe branding each cheek rather than scarring?
genghisdon: ( i was hoping to use her as a hench thief, but that seems unlikely, or maybe put her in a skimpy maids outfit, but i dunno now)
corum: @ Garrick I dont care what Hawkes wants or needs, He is a pimp!
genghisdon: lol
Mablir Dorlig: Corak nods his head agreeing with Flynn
genghisdon: "are you in pairs then? or varied sized groups?"
Mablir Dorlig: "and he knows more about the criminal underworld than he lets on"
Smon: Gulaza: "Varied groups, I think."
genghisdon: "what are safe or code words you use to identify yourselves as agents amonst yourselves?"
Goonergeezer: garrick@ corak my lord have you no understanding of torture? you leave the facial disfigurememnt until last as that is her great asset, i can think of 100 things to do before we disfigure the face
Smon: Gulaza: "The Tower Rises" is my code-word."
Mablir Dorlig: But she needs her beauty and the threat to destroy it will weaken her will
genghisdon: and your man's? what was his code word?
Smon: Gulaza: "Bodvik? The same."
Goonergeezer: garrick@ corak for instance if you were to slowly peel the skin from a foot starting a toe at a time over a period of 48 hours just to get started, after-all a masterpuiece takes many weeks and connot be rushed
genghisdon: "ok, know anyone else's?"
Smon: Gulaza shakes her head. "No..."
genghisdon: (garrick knows way too much about torture to be a good guy)
Smon: "...We were not expected to communicate while in Yggsburgh, except by the safe drop. To send reports back."
genghisdon: "hmmm, that's really not a lot more than your captures had speculated Gulza, anything else you can think of that might get you some leniancy from them? another agent you don't like perhaps?"
genghisdon: "ah, the safe drop? where & how?"
Smon: Gulaza shakes her head. "Not that I know is here in Yggsburgh. There is a slaver in Dradville I despise, though."
Smon: "The drop? Yes, in the Outs."
genghisdon: "sounds good, tell me all you can of this slaver"
genghisdon: "i'll need more specificty about the drop in the outs too)
genghisdon: (sorry, im using the whole game up guys)
Smon: "His name is Thomas Kenaly, a man high in Lord Darktarn's esteem. But he is a brute, he tried to force himself upon me, as if I were a slave-slut!"
Goonergeezer: np wprries we are getting info on somthing else to look into
genghisdon: "the bastard! I'll castrate him for you!"
Smon: Gulaza grins. "An excellent notion!"
genghisdon: "consider it done, either alive or dead as opportunity flows"
genghisdon: "I can find out mnore about the drop box, once i negotiate some terms on your behaf"
Smon: "He does not appreciate that I am a skilled professional, an artist. To break and train a new slave girl while retaining her intact, takes great skill. The Princes of the East pay far more for virgins..."
genghisdon: "would you be adverse to remaining under light guard & performing light menial duties ubtil such time as a spy exchange of forces can be arranged?"
genghisdon: "men! nearly all are fools!"
Smon: Gulaza nods. "Tjat seems fine, much better than to be raped to death in the salt mines, as the guards promised me!2
Smon: Gulaza nods. "All are fools. Almost all. Except Lord Darktarn, of course."
genghisdon: "I'll see what I can arrange, but If you promise not to try to escape, or cause harm/espionage, i think you shall sit pretty Gulza, I'm glad for you"
genghisdon: Morganna calls loudly "you Louts can come back now!"
genghisdon: ok, i gotta go fast, dinner is ready
Smon: Gulaza nods.
Goonergeezer: garrick enters the stable: @ morg you find out everything we need to lknow?
corum: Flynn heads in
Smon: GM: Anything you want to do in the remaining 20 minutes tonight?
genghisdon: can we get the guys, in agredd not to hurt Gulza, Gulza not to flee/fight? and a bargain struck with Lord Hawkes as i dangle the info piece by piece trying to get her lieniency?
Smon: What do you mean by leniency?
Mablir Dorlig: Corak stays outside but in the doorway
genghisdon: "not every thing, but a very promising start indeed" Smiles at Gulza,
Smon: She has a 10 year sentence, indentured to Hawkes, he can have her sent to the salt mines at will.
genghisdon: UH.p, what i promised Gulza
genghisdon: yeah & i want easy peasy treatment, and a prisoner exchange when possible (bound to happen)
genghisdon: (they will get agents of ours, hell maybe one of us someday!)
Smon: GM: Morganna goes to see Hawkes. Ulrich: "I leave her treatment to your discretion." Are you telling him what you learned?
genghisdon: she has more details, and a traitor , ect
Mablir Dorlig: (if they care tuppence about what happens to her or Hawkes to anyone but Garrick)
genghisdon: if he agrees in writing to my terms, ues
genghisdon: yes
genghisdon: i care...good gal
genghisdon: but i gotta go, lead on boys
Smon: If you want Hawkes putting stuff in writing we'd have to play that out.
Smon: OOC: Sorry I couldn't do much tonight, hopefully was better than cancelling game.
corum: via the blog don?
Smon: OOC: Guess best thing is to quit now and hopefully do a proper game on Saturday.
Smon Has entered the room
genghisdon: and his teacher turned bondage fetish love doll?
genghisdon: to hell with her?
corum: Hey Simon!
Smon: hi all
Smon: just in
genghisdon: sounds pretty evil...I will cut his throat instead, ok?
genghisdon: hi simon
Smon: big crash in Wimbledon
genghisdon: tennis?
Smon: not me, but traffic was all blocked
genghisdon: or a train or plane?
Smon: took 80 mins get son home
genghisdon: sorry to hear that, were/are many hurt?
corum: lol 4e handbook just gong through ebay for £5 no bids!
Mablir Dorlig Has entered the room
genghisdon: u can have mine for that too!
genghisdon: hi Mablir
Mablir Dorlig: Hi folks - sorry I'm late but RL interfering with RP
Mablir Dorlig: Hi don
genghisdon: can Morganna stalk after the evil rapist once u let him go...he needs mutilation, but i will settle for death
genghisdon: ?
Smon: ok, getting sorted - be a few mins till I'm ready
genghisdon: or if it suits better, I can hunt him down later
genghisdon: ok, can i roll HP?
Goonergeezer: OOC what you do after i leave is up to you but be careful
Smon: Crash looked v bad, yes, at least 1 fatality I think.
genghisdon: well, i don't think i got any back up, so careful is out, but i think his charms will fail vs an elf
corum: ;(
Smon: Wimbledon mummies were "Don't look, Jimmy! Look at the shop windows!"
genghisdon: huh
Smon: Whereas I was more "Fire engines! Firemen!" just not mention the carnage.
corum: missed a saving throw
Smon: Anyway, just catching my breath.
genghisdon: it's funny, wimbledon is just a tennis tourney to me, it's odd to think of as a place..is it a city?
genghisdon: suburb of london?
Goonergeezer: yep
genghisdon: well, sorry to hear of death & destruction at your home giys
corum: Where bouts are you don?
genghisdon: windsor, ontario
corum: Canada cool!
genghisdon: right acrooss from beautiful detroit city michigan
genghisdon: yes, canuck
Smon: OK, I'm settled.
genghisdon: cool, so HP rolls?
Smon: heh no
genghisdon: ok
Smon: Anyone who hasn't, look at comments:http://smonsyggsburgh.blogspot.com/2012/01/session-13-30th-m4-96-yy.html#comment-form
genghisdon: murder? mutilation?
Smon: So, ferret-face has promised to de-love Aole. So Garrick & Corak leave ferret-face and go outside to where Flynn is with Aole?
Smon: Morganna is staggering drunk back to the Hawkes mansion.
corum: Yup! Flynn is telling her about Hawkes and his theories about him
corum: Aole looks bored
genghisdon: sounds fine to me, but drunken morganna has no part in such conversaation & WILL castrate & remove the mage's tongue, or if mercy/expediancy dictates, will simply kill the scum
Goonergeezer: garrick walks out @ aole " Aole my friend we have spoken and your man is all yours again, i am sorry to have disturbed you"
copeab Has entered the room
genghisdon: i lost my horse & armor?
Smon: Yup. She looks a bit anxious. As Garrick walks out she smiles and nods.
Smon: You left it behind AIR.
Smon: Not safe to drink & drive anyway.
copeab: Ah, a session going on?
genghisdon: i thought the last thing i planed to do was ride home & sleep it off
genghisdon: but whatever
corum: Yes copeab but your welcome to lurk ;D
genghisdon: is the horse there the next day?
Smon: Aole nods to Garrick and goes inside, where there is some commotion as the dark-haired woman has summoned the Porters, but I'll say Duvader sneaks out unseen,
copeab: I will try not to kibitz
Smon: Flynn & Garrick can take Morganna's gear back to the Hawkes estate.
Goonergeezer: we do so
corum: Flynn will lead Morgs horse back after loading the armour on
genghisdon: well i need to go back to tell of those stupid boys...let them know how GOOD sex requires some functional brain activity & they missed out due their stupidity & that if i find out they drug/drunken rape anyone else, I'll cast a spell to wither their manhoods off
genghisdon: try to set them on a manhood rather than boy/rapist path
genghisdon: but that's not too important, anything else on our immediate agenda?
genghisdon: a party or something?
corum: Flynn needs to train and level if thats possible
Goonergeezer: ooc nothing immediate, but i would like to try to make a trip to the mouths of madness
Goonergeezer: ooo yes there is a gala to attend
genghisdon: training would be cool
corum: We need to save the gnome for later id no Duv
corum: if
genghisdon: lol, we never get that far from town without side adventures anyway, so who are we kidding?
genghisdon: the gnomes are a year off
corum: :-)
Mablir Dorlig: (Corak not yet ready for 4th level
)genghisdon: I'm ready for L2
corum: ((Flynn only just made L3))
Smon: OK, back from dealing w 4 year old,
genghisdon: (BTW gooner, are we giving up on the thieves/slavers cause the pigs took over?)
Smon: Do you want to train and move ahead 1-2 weeks?
genghisdon: sure
Goonergeezer: we can go back and see what we can do with the thieves guild
Goonergeezer: after we train
Smon: ok
Smon: Gooner PM'd me this for Garrick: " Hiya, presuming that all goes well and i get back to the hawkes mansion upon my arrival there i will ask if i can speak with Hawkes on an urgent matter. If i should get an audience with him i will explain the situation with the mage and his suspect activity with female students and give him a full briefing, "I was wondering if this could be used to your advantage in some way, you know protecting the virtue of these young ladies and helping keep the name of the college in high esteem" I will also ask if he does make a move on the information i have gathered that i might be kept out of it as i made a promise and although the man is scum, my word is my bond and i will not break it"
Mablir Dorlig: Corak will deduct 7 gp upkeep if others need training
Smon: I'm right you don't recall ferret-face's name, do you?
genghisdon: don't we have a rich poatron to pay for training now?
Smon: Only Corak needs to pay upkeep.
genghisdon: or are we fired/cast out of the mansion?
Goonergeezer: no i cannot remember it all all
genghisdon: or some of us?
Smon: You can take 2 weeks training; Garrick has arranged to have a disused stable near the rear entrance turned into your new base.
genghisdon: do Aole & the magic teacher get un-love charmed?
Smon: Sir Hawkes can have an old sage-professor from the Academy of Magic mentor Morganna, so she can level up as M-U in 1 week, and Lars Frank train her (& Garrick) as Fighters, taking 1 week.
Smon: Flynn needs 2 weeks to self-train as Ranger.
genghisdon: and would they like me to take proper vengeance on the mage or simply dispose of him?
genghisdon: sweet
Smon: If you're all agreed you're taking the 2 weeks to train, you can roll level-up dice now.
genghisdon rolls 1d5 and gets: 2
genghisdon rolls 1d2 and gets: 1
genghisdon: crap
Smon: +3 for Morganna.
genghisdon: i can see morganna ain't gonna be a keeper
genghisdon: learn sleep
genghisdon rolls 1d100 and gets:
22,genghisdon: yes
genghisdon: spells mem now charm person & sleep
Smon: OK, in the College Library, Morganna masters the art of Sleep
genghisdon: (can i train with mistress of enchantment, submissive dom teacher?)
genghisdon: lol
genghisdon: not really sleep..but whatever
Smon: You train with a greybeard who looks about 70
genghisdon: good luck on HP guys
Smon: Anyone else levelling?
corum: Hp for Flynn
corum rolls 1d8 and gets:
8,corum: :-)
corum: +3
Smon: nice
Smon: 33 hp!
Mablir Dorlig:
Smon: That'll take awhile to chew through
corum: Im sure you'll find a way to loose them fast Simon!
Smon: Garrick was already Ftr 3 and Corak C3, right?
Smon: So that's everyone?
Goonergeezer: yep
corum: to hit down to Thac0 18 and saves adjusted, PMed my sheet!
Smon: cheers
genghisdon: yay!
copeab: Smon, might I suggezt you use a gorgoyle aganst them next time
genghisdon: hee i have 10 HP
copeab: http://books.google.com/books?id=rJiwHqqF0RoC&pg=PT111&lpg=PT110&ots=fQ7SQawNJk&dq=gorgoyle+ninja&output=html_text
genghisdon: medusa gargoyle, very cool
genghisdon: please don't kill us with that..yet
Smon: 12 hp w Lightning Morganna
genghisdon: I'll buy a suit of leather armor & some hoodie/clandestine type clothes...about 8 gp?
genghisdon: i know
Smon: ok
genghisdon: with opa & duv gone I'm the ninja/thief for the party today
genghisdon: yay
genghisdon: where to guys?
Smon: GM: OK, while you are training one evening, Aole calls round, looking a bit confused, and tells you she's moved out of her shared room with Radley into public dormitory accommodation. "I don't know what I saw in him..."
genghisdon: (duv trains too, off screen)
copeab: Barrier Peaks?
genghisdon: not today
Smon: (agree re Duvader) When Garrick spoke with Hawkes he promised to look into it.
Smon: But it doesn't look like much has happened.
Goonergeezer: @gm how long till the gala ulrich is planning?#
genghisdon: Morganna promises to herself to deal with the rapist on her own, in secret, but not today
Goonergeezer: i say we go and have a bash at the thieves guild and go to mouths of madness after the gala
genghisdon: ok
Smon: The Grand Soiree hosted by Miss Candice Wright is set for 3 days' time.
genghisdon: into the sewers then & look for secret rooms? or talk to john law about our kinky eastern rogue or other?
Goonergeezer: thieves guild then i say
Mablir Dorlig: (Corak probably not been invited as he gets on so well with Hawkes & Co)
genghisdon: yes, and?
corum: Flynn is not looking forward to battling 100+ thieves
genghisdon: "come on Flynn, we can handle 20=30 at a time, surely"
Goonergeezer: well lets go and see what happenes if it starts getting a bit dicey we will leave
Smon: The morning after Morganna & Flynn complete training, Sir Hawkes asks you all to attend a planning meeting with him & Lars Frank.
genghisdon: "criminals are a cowardly & superstitous lot, after all"
genghisdon: ok, Morganna attends
corum: Flynn will foloow morganna
corum: follow
Goonergeezer: garrick also attends
Mablir Dorlig: Corak: They've probably set guards in the haberdashers entrance
Smon: GM: After breakfast you meet with Sir Hawkes and Lars in a meeting room with table and chairs.
Eliana Has entered the room
genghisdon: "any entrance will do, & i prefer no one else know we are coming this time"
genghisdon: hi eli
Smon: Sir Hawkes nods cordially. "Morning, Garrick, everyone. I have an update on the kidnapping situation."
Eliana crawls silently along the shadowy walls of Smon's Crypt!
genghisdon: "excellent"
genghisdon: (tis a sewer again today Eli dear)
Goonergeezer: garrick: good news indeed is there anything for us to follow up?
Eliana:
Smon: "Luckily for us the Deputy Night Sheriff is a lot more impressed with you than the Sheriff, and he's been keeping me informed."
genghisdon: lol
genghisdon: "I stunned the woman isn't dead or released by now"
genghisdon: I am stunned
genghisdon: "a good omen for us"
genghisdon: (also glad BTW, she did surrender without a fight)
genghisdon: "I'm sorry Lord Hawkes, pray continue"
Smon: "Not released, no. As I understand it, her victim Sylvia Caldwell was established to be still virgo intacta, so no rape charge, but Gulaza was still convicted as accessory to kidnapping, that being branding and 10 years' penal servitude."
copeab Has exited the room
corum: All Flynn can think about is leather and whips...
genghisdon: heh
genghisdon: "any chance to cut a deal with her, info in return for leniancy?"
Smon: "Meanwhile Bodvik, the former head of Rasch security, was convicted of the kidnapping and rape of Miss Victoria Markle, that being branding and 30 years' servitude, plus 10 as accessory to kidnapping of Sylvia, for 40 years, and has been sent to the salt mines."
genghisdon: "too leniant, but not too terible"
Smon: Hawkes nods to Morganna. "We think alike. Normally Gulaza would be sent to the salt mines too, and would be unlikely to last more than a few weeks, but I have arranged for her to be delivered to our custody. I believe she is an agent of Talworth, and I suspect she knows of their machinations against our fair city."
Smon: "The deal I have with the Gaol is that she is indentured to the Hawkes estate, but can be returned for confinement to the salt mines at our discretion."
genghisdon: "well, I can use persuasive magics like the slimeball weazel wizard also, though NEVER to secure sexual favours"
genghisdon: "Gulaza may well be VERY helpful to us"
Smon: Hawkes nods. "I'm sure you don't need magic for *that.* he grins at Morganna.
Goonergeezer: garrick@ all " i am sure i can get her to talk"
genghisdon: "why thank you, but yes, that is truth"
genghisdon: @ Garrick "no need for thuggery in this matter Garrick, dear"
corum: Flynn @ Hawkes "When does she arrive?"
Smon: Hawkes smiles. "Neither Bodvik nor Gulaza implicated others. I believe aproaches have been made to the Thieves' Guild, that they had better tone down their activities and be damn careful what they let their tunnels be used for. Unfortunately political issues mean that not much more than that will be done against them. The Mayor doesn't want a war with them."
genghisdon: "and can we escort her? it is a prime time to spring her free, on the move"
Smon: @Flynn: "She's waiting in a Gaol cell, I can have her brought here today, if you wish."
Smon: Hawkes nods to Morganna. "Yes, if you want to pick her up, that's a good idea."
corum: Flynn @ Group "we should find out what she knows before we make any plans
genghisdon: "at your command of time, lord Hawkes",
Smon: Hawkes nods. "I'll send a sealed missive with you, authorising you to bring her here. When she gets here, how you extract information from her is up to you."
Goonergeezer: garick: we all have our own methods
genghisdon: "as you command, milord" Morganna looks at her comrades in arms "shall we be off to the gaol?"
Goonergeezer: garrick: sooner rather than later i say
corum: Flynn @ Hawkes+Garrick "He has a magic sword" pinches fingers to indicate tiny size!
genghisdon: In hawkes armor/livery or not? Lightning can fly point, to spot ambushes, any other ideas?
Goonergeezer: let taske off our hawkes tabard etc
corum:
genghisdon: ok, morganna will go in her banded
Goonergeezer: garrick: we dont want to draw attention to ourselves
corum: Flynn prefers banded so also switches
genghisdon: we will bring a spare sackcloth robe & helm, for the prissoner to conceal her ID
Smon: Hawkes nods. "Oh, one more thing. Garrick, I made some enquiries. Your friend Aole, her ex room mate is Radley Proctor, grandson of former mayor Brandon Proctor, whose daughter is the wife of my friend Hector Markle, who as you know is President of Yggsburgh College. Suffice to say it's a powerful family."
genghisdon: "and one fond of rape, how charming!"
Goonergeezer: garrick: then perhaps his family should be made aware that one of their own is drawing a bad light upon the family
Goonergeezer: garrick: let them deal with it internally
genghisdon: "i suggest we simply ignore the issue, I am certain nature will settle the matter equitably"
genghisdon: "no sense creating enemies & all that"
corum: Flynn "I agree, Aole is out of harms way now"
Mablir Dorlig: (almost mafia like the way these families are all inter related)
Goonergeezer: garrick: indeed, his own actions will be his downfall
genghisdon: (yes, but noble families are that way)
genghisdon: Morganna thibnks to her self...yes, they certainly will be his downfall...
Smon: Ulrich: "My understanding from what Garrick has told me is that there is an indication of magical coercion, which is a crime, but no sign of the violence necessary for a rape charge. If your friend is safe I'd suggest you let it lie. I don't want Madam Agatha Markle disturbed again, she's only just getting over what happened to Victoria."
Goonergeezer: garrick: let us get ready and depart to the gaol then
genghisdon: (will aoel be joining us tonight?)
Mablir Dorlig: (So what level spell will Shrivel Manhood be when Morganna researches it)
genghisdon: (tis but a threat, the threat is the real power of magic Mabir)
Smon: LOL OOC: I'm not allowed to tell you the spell level, per DMG
Goonergeezer: ooc a reversable Viagra spell
genghisdon: (but too be honest, pretty low level,,,it has little mechanical consequwnces in game)
genghisdon: (prob L1 -2)
Mablir Dorlig: (Maybe it fits better as a Druidic spell anyway - something similar to a reversible Plant Growth)
genghisdon: (and yes, I've cast the reverse on Garrick sometimes, for he a Tabitha's pleasure)
Smon:
genghisdon: (preety sure it's a minor malison/hex/curse effect)
genghisdon: (i could see it in cleric, druidic, MU or even Ill form)
genghisdon: (but that's in the future)
Eliana suggests a new curse... warp manhood!
genghisdon: so we get the letter, head to gaol in our old armor/clothes, with lightning scouting above & ahead of us, there & back
Smon: Ulrich: "Well, I'm glad we're all agreed." He writes out a seals a note for you to take to the Gaol. "Let me know when you have anything to report."
Smon: /roll 1d8
Smon rolls 1d8 and gets:
2,genghisdon: (warp manhood? maybe her twisted characters can invent it, but not me!)
genghisdon: (is that like a warp/shape for "her added pleasure" thing?"
Smon: wife home, thank God!
Smon: (Was expecting her more like 11pm)
Eliana Has exited the room
genghisdon: cool
genghisdon: oops, was it something i said?
Mablir Dorlig:
Smon: Bill has strewn my minis all over the floor, but at least I should now be able to play ok
genghisdon: heh
genghisdon: @ Corak "BTW, we need to get you some armor, sir...preferably before you get killed"
corum: best place for em simon!
Smon: GM: OK, you leave the Hawkes mansion. It's a cloudy, blustery day as you walk through the late-morning streets.
genghisdon: (no, they are like calrops, very bad on floor!)
Mablir Dorlig: (Corak has Banded Mail and Shield but doesn't normally wear it in Town)
genghisdon: (ok, though u were still in mail)
genghisdon: thought
genghisdon: (wear it today)
genghisdon: (we are the banded brotherhood, if anyone asks)
Smon: Morganna & Garrick in plate?
Mablir Dorlig: (have done, was expecting thief hunting)
genghisdon: no, in her banded
Goonergeezer: yep, garricks plated up
Smon: Flynn in banded?
corum: Flynn in his banded yes
genghisdon: ( i thought this was a no hawkes gear jaunt?)
corum: Ranger in plate is just wrong!
genghisdon: (naw, but magic plate would be better)
genghisdon: (or magic/elfin whatever)
Goonergeezer: garrick is wearing a plain tabard over any insignia he cannot remove from the plate
Mablir Dorlig: (Corak needs to upgrade to Plate at some point)
Eliana Has entered the room
genghisdon: who is going mounted?
genghisdon: Morganna does
Smon: You MUST be officially Hawkes, or you wouldn't be allowed to collect Gulaza, genghis(!)
genghisdon: WB eli , hope i didn't offend
genghisdon: well, we don't havbe to look it do we?
genghisdon: but fine, hawkes & plate & horse it is then
Smon: Where did you get this 'no Hawkes gear' thing from?
Goonergeezer: we just want to disguise any insignia until we pick gulaza up]#
genghisdon: our plan earlier simon, but it's no big
Smon: ok, as you wish.
Mablir Dorlig: (Not a prob for Corak)
Smon: You go in plain gear, no insignia, to avoid alerting anyone presumably.
genghisdon: that was the plan
Smon: At the Gaol the Bailiffs greet you. "Yes?"
Goonergeezer: yep was just typing all that out smon lol
genghisdon: for good or ill, i dunno, haven't slept in a long while
Smon: hm
genghisdon: I hand him the letter "we have a prisoner to pick up"
Goonergeezer: good evening sirs, we have a letter for you
Smon: (it's 11am)
Smon: The Bailiff nods and takes the letter, breaks the seal, reads and nods.
Goonergeezer: good morning sirs, we have a letter for you
genghisdon: (yeah diff time zone & i skipped sleep for a day...ask Eli how it works)
Smon: "You're the Hawkes men? Where's your tabards?"
genghisdon: "shh...we are in a clever disguise," Morganna winks at him
Smon: /roll 1d100+5
Smon rolls 1d100+5 and gets:
55, (+5) = 60 Smon: He frowns, but nods. "I see. Come with me."
corum: Flynn "we didnt wish to draw the attention of the thieves guild"
genghisdon: (morganna might as well have 17 chr, hee)
Goonergeezer: garrick: we did not want to expose ourselves to be hawkes men we fear the collegues of the prisoner might attempt a break out
genghisdon: i follow him
Smon: He leads you downstairs to a prison block, corridor lined with heavy doors, takes a key from the jailer and unlocks a cell door. "She's in there. Remember, she's property of the city. Break her, you pay for her."
Smon: He nods to Garrick. "Right."
genghisdon: "oh, we hope to keep her quite unharmed"
Goonergeezer: garrick do you need us to sign anything?
genghisdon: before i open her cell, I cast charm person on her
Smon: Not possible.
Smon: Unless you open the window slit first/
genghisdon: she isn't in her cell?
genghisdon: ah, got ay
Smon: No, you can't cast through closed doors
genghisdon: "gentlemen, Flynn, could you get our prisoner?"
Goonergeezer: garrick: if you want a clear sight to cast your spell i will hold her still if you want
genghisdon: (thinking jail, not door, my bad)
genghisdon: (Gulza her name, yes?)
corum: Flynn "i thought you would never ask!"
Goonergeezer: (yep)
corum: Flynn opens the cell door and grabs Gulaza - again!
Smon: You open the door, you can make out Gulaza curled up in the corner of the cell in the same kinky outfit as when you captured her, she has few new bruises. Flynn goes forward and hauls her to her feet.
Smon: She glares at Flynn.
genghisdon: i cast charm person on her
Goonergeezer: garrick: Hello again Gulaza, remember me? well the same rules apply my love, you struggle and i'll carve your face, remember?
genghisdon: "and again i'll intervene on your behaf Gulza"
Smon: She glares at Garrick, lip trembling a little. Morganna casts CP.
Smon: /roll 1d20
Smon rolls 1d20 and gets:
11,Goonergeezer: (good cop, bad cop)
genghisdon: "i'm sorry my friends threw you down that hole & that the guards mistreated you here"
corum: Flynn holds her wrists behind her back and moves her over to morganna
Smon: Gulaza's expression softens as she looks at Morganna.
Smon: Gulaza @Morganna: "Pl-please help me..."
Smon: "They say they will send me to the salt mines!"
genghisdon: "would you like to tell us something we could use as a token of trust, so that I can lessen your terrible & injust sentence?"
Smon: Gulaza: "What do you mean?"
genghisdon: "I'll protect you dear" M sroke her hair softly
genghisdon: strokes
corum: Flynn @ Morg "the hole was necessary, if we wished t escape alive!"
genghisdon: "there there"
Smon: Gulaza's lip trembles as she looks at Garrick, and Flynn holding her.
genghisdon: "don't listen to Flynn, he's not as mean as he sounds"
corum: Flynn lets go of Gulaza
Smon: The Bailiff watches curiously.
genghisdon: "maybe you could tell us who is behind the kidnappings?"
Mablir Dorlig: Corak @ M "I notice she has some new bruises - does she need curing?"
genghisdon: "but not yet"
Eliana: 3xx
genghisdon: "she does father corak, if you would"
corum: Flynn grunts
genghisdon: "Gulza, let the kind priest heal you, ok?"
Mablir Dorlig rolls 1d8 and gets:
2,Goonergeezer: lets not heal her until we gat back to base
genghisdon: 3xxx sometimes, but i shouldn't play female chr i guess
Smon: Gulaza looks at the Bailiff. "It was Bodvik who was behind the kidnappings. I have told them this."
Mablir Dorlig: (Not my best but should do for bruises)
genghisdon: (very kind hearted)
Eliana: 3me was a typo....
Smon: Corak casts clw & lays on hands, the bruises vanish. "Thank you" says Gulaza.
genghisdon: ?
Eliana Has exited the room
Eliana was a typo... 3xx
Eliana Has entered the room
genghisdon: "well, Gulza, we need to get you through the city unnoticed, so please put on his robe & hood, then let me bind your hands, ok?
Smon: Bailiff: "Note says you're taking her, right?"
genghisdon: "then we will take you to a less harsh fate than salt mines, i promise"
genghisdon: "on our way Balif"
Smon: Gulaza nods to Morganna, she'll put on the robe.
Goonergeezer: garrick@ bailiff correct we are taking her
Smon: What kind of hood is it? Just a cowl?
genghisdon: sure
Smon: GM: OK you put the hood over her head, and can manacle her.
Smon: The Bailiffs escort you out onto the windy noonday street.
genghisdon: ok
Smon: /roll 1d10
Smon rolls 1d10 and gets:
4,genghisdon: I get her up on my horse
genghisdon: menatally to lightning "see anyone up on the rooftops or alleys?"
genghisdon: mentally
genghisdon: then double ride with her
Smon: Your precautions maybe pay off, since despite putting Gulaza up on a horse for all to see, you get her back safely to the Hawkes estate.
Goonergeezer: garrick: you can both double ride me wenches
genghisdon: (mental note, my poor horse often gets stuck carring 2, feed him some apples)
Smon: Are you taking her to your new base in the old stables?
genghisdon: (no ride with garrick)
genghisdon: yep
genghisdon: (unless someone thinbks no?)
Goonergeezer: no, defo take her there
genghisdon: i unhood & unrobe her
genghisdon: unmancle her
Smon: GM: OK you take Gulaza into your base, it's spartan compared to even the servant quarters of the mansion, but habitable.
Smon: Hawkes also provided you with interrogation tools in case CP proved inadequate.
genghisdon: "so Gulza, this will likely be your home for some time, provided you will co operate with me/us"
Smon: Gulaza rubs her wrists, nodding gratefully to Morganna.
Goonergeezer: Garrick: it looks like a harlots dosshouse but we can do her up
genghisdon: CP is effective, either today, or tommorow, or 2 days from now
Smon:
genghisdon: (certainly more so than tortur!)
Smon: Probably.
Smon: Depends on player skill...
genghisdon: "could some one collect lord H, so we can find out what we are after?"
Mablir Dorlig: (Think we still need her restrained at night)
Goonergeezer: garrick puts his vote to torture if this doesnt pay off after today
genghisdon: "sigh, go fetch your lord, brute"
Mablir Dorlig: Corak mumbles "Probably the king of the thieves is his brother in law"
Smon: LOL
genghisdon: "probably...is he gulza?"
genghisdon: "and if the servants will allow us food & drink, send us them too!"
Goonergeezer: garrick goes off to see hawkes and informs him tha we have her in the stables now and if there is any specific info he wants or needs
genghisdon: (champagne & sex on day one, a crude stable on day 2..woe is us)
Goonergeezer: garrick: shouting back "if you want food i suggest you get off your pretty arse and get it yourself"
Mablir Dorlig: (Such is the life of an adventurere)
genghisdon: "be careful, my spell will SHRIVEL manhoods as it's primary function Garrick"
corum: Flynn quietly @ Morganna "I see no point in torture, if they try it I'll arrange an escape for her"
genghisdon: @ Flynn "thank you Flynn, I know you have a good heart, as poor Opa was falling for you"
genghisdon: "but i don't think the other men are beyond reason yet"
Smon: A skimpily uniformed maid escorts Garrick to where Hawkes & Lars are having a whisky. Hawkes nods to Garrick. "I'm thinking she's an Easterling, she must be working for Talworth. There's a big slave market in Dradville, seat of the Purple Tower and Uvoll Darktarn. Find out her connection."
genghisdon: (she is here.heard that?)
Smon: Garrick is in an oak-panelled study with Ulrich & Lars.
genghisdon: (if so) " please answer your new lord Gulza, so we can make life better for you"
Smon: No other PC.
genghisdon: ah
corum: @ Morg "I do not care for the laws of city folk, they mean nothing to me!"
genghisdon: "i couldn't agree more"
Smon: (genghis w no sleep is even more genghisy than regular genghis)
Goonergeezer: on his way back to relay the message fffrom hawkes garrick grabs a servant ask asks her to bring out food and drink for 6 to the stable
Smon: The maid nods. "Yes sir,"
genghisdon: " I WAS here simply to help Garrick get laid, but his fetch food & drink comment shall cost him"
Goonergeezer: garick relays the message in a whisper to morganna#
Smon: Garrick returns and relays the instruction.
genghisdon: @ Gulza "Gulza dear, you must be parched, have a sip of this wine"
genghisdon: offer her some of my wineskin
Smon: Gulaza drinks eagerly.
genghisdon: (genghisy..u made an adverb for me simon..cool!)
Smon: "The wine is good..." she wipes the red liquid from her mouth.
corum: Flynn @ Garrick "I suggest we leave the ladies alone, lets sit away some!"
Goonergeezer: garrick@ flynn aye lets give her the room to glean what she can4
genghisdon: once she has had her drink "yes it is passable...now Gulza I need you to tell me who you worked for, ok?'
corum: Flynn will move to sit just within earshot and keep his wits about him for any trouble
genghisdon: "you guys can stay, if you are civil"
Smon: The buxom dark-haired maid in the skimpy Hawkes maidservant uniform comes out from the mansion bearing a large platter of food. "Here you are, sirs."
genghisdon: (and feel free to offer suggestions)
Goonergeezer: garrick@ morganna " my love you know i is civil, i just has these funny turns y'know
genghisdon: "why thank you my lovely...what was your name again
genghisdon: ?
Smon: Gulaza looks at Flynn & co in earshot. "I told you, Brodvik."
Eliana Has exited the room
genghisdon: (full bottom)
corum: Flynn whispers to Morganna "you may have more luck without us"
Smon: The maid smiles at Morganna. "I'm Florence, Ma'am, or just Flo."
genghisdon: and who did Brodvik work for then? surely a capable woman like yourself didn't work for a belhop?
Goonergeezer: garrick: this brodvik sounds like a vile man, do you know who his boss was?
corum: nned whisky back in 2 mins
Mablir Dorlig: (How many exits from this place)
genghisdon: "Florence, lovely name, it suits you" smiles at her
Smon: (Just the stable double doors out). Gulaza glares at Garrick.
Smon: Florence giggles at Morganna and withdraws, smiling.
Goonergeezer: garrick: i know when i aint wanted i'll leave you two here
genghisdon: "answer him Gulza, but you can tell us how great Brodvik was, if that;s what you thought"
Goonergeezer: garrick leaves and waits just outside the stable doors
Mablir Dorlig: Corak will sit outside keeping an eye on the doors
genghisdon: (stay)
genghisdon: ack
genghisdon: fine
Goonergeezer: garrick@ flynn you stay inside and keep an eye on morgy
Mablir Dorlig: Corak @ Garrick "Maybe it would be an idea if once the spell wears off you were to ask her to choose which cheek she wants scarred if she doesn't answer"
genghisdon: (does she answer?)
genghisdon: (not helping!)
Mablir Dorlig: Corak "Obviously no intention of really doing it but maybe the threat will be enough"
Goonergeezer: garrick@ corak when we get to that stage call me, until then i am more of a hinderance than a help
Mablir Dorlig: (She shouldn't really be able to hear us outside speaking to each other)
genghisdon: (thf, hear noise %? best case)
corum: flynn waits just inside the doors
Smon: Gulaza looks around, confused, then leans in close to Morganna: "I must speak with you alone. Without these scum in attendance. They are enemies."
Smon: (whispering)
genghisdon: "I think we're alone now" Morganna croons
Smon: GM: A bunch of PCs are still clearly in earshot - "corum: flynn waits just inside the doors" etc
Goonergeezer: ooc Fuck i got that tiffany song from the 80's in my head now
genghisdon: if not, she shushes off the others & starts to eat, handing over tasty morsels to Gulza
genghisdon: me too!
genghisdon: "Give us ladies some privacy boys!"
Smon: GM: Are Flynn, Garrick and Corum going to withdraw out of earshot?
genghisdon: "take a walk, sharpen your sword, whatever"
Smon: Rem you're not Thieves with Hide in Shadows, Hear Noise et al.
Mablir Dorlig: (Corak & Garrick were already outside)
genghisdon: (but she is)
Smon: It's the middle of the day, lots of light, an open stable block & open ground around it.
genghisdon: (i think)
genghisdon: "close the doors on the way outm please Fynn"
corum: Flynn heads out
genghisdon: F;lynn
Goonergeezer: garrick will stand 10 foot away from the door and notch an arrow to his bow waiting to see if anyone tries coming out
Smon: Flynn shuts the door?
Smon: /roll 1d100
genghisdon: "he's really not that bad Gulza..well, sometimes he's not"
Smon rolls 1d100 and gets:
63,corum: Flynn closes the doors
corum: Flynn @ Garrick "not sure I like this, but Morg is tough as, sh'll be right"
Smon: Gulaza looks at Morganna. "They are probably outside, spying on us."
genghisdon: (dude made sex dolls out of women with charm & i can't get this chick to lossen up? sheesh!)
genghisdon: "don't worry about them dear, we need to worry about you"
Goonergeezer: garrick: if morg aint the first one out of that door my arrow flies
Smon: /roll 1d100+5
genghisdon: feed her a choice piece of beef
Smon rolls 1d100+5 and gets:
22, (+5) = 27 Smon: Gulaza eats the beef. "I trust you, but those men are Enemies. You should not consort with them."
genghisdon: "Beleive me, I only consort with them in their dreams Gulza"
Smon: (dude made sex dolls out of women with charm & i can't get this chick to lossen up? sheesh!) - You haven't tried that yet.
Anyway Charm doesn't affect NPC attitude to others, just you.genghisdon: "but again, for me to help you, you need to help me learn about some things"
Smon: Gulaza nods.
Smon: GM: Are any PCs other than Morganna staying outside w/in earshot?
Goonergeezer: garrick is out of earshot
Smon: Earshot of quiet conversation that is, not screams.
genghisdon: "so tell me what you know about Talwerth"
Smon: Flynn & Corak still in earshot?
Smon: /roll 1d100
Smon rolls 1d100 and gets:
22,Mablir Dorlig: Corak jut wanted a view of the doors
corum: Flynn is prob just outside the doors
corum: @ DM your call
Smon: (Flynn is making it far harder for Morganna. That's the last time I'll tell you). Gulaza glances at the door, then leans in close and whispers (so no one outside can hear): "I was sent from Talworth."
corum: not trying to listen if thats what you mean
genghisdon: whisper back "we knew dear"
genghisdon: "why? and who else were you working with?"
Smon: Gulaza: "You don't work for the Purple Tower?"
genghisdon: whisper " i work for no one Gulza, though i pretend to sometimes"
Smon: Gulaza nods. "You should join us. I was sworn to secrecy, but I feel I can trust you."
Smon: "But one of those thugs is just outside the door."
genghisdon: "but you can tell me about purple tower, and i can get you easy time"
genghisdon: "hold on a moment" Morganna walks over to the doors, looks to Gulza for guidance, then pounds the door with fist "Get lost!"
corum: (man I was the first to offer to move out - just rule I cant hear??)
Smon: Gulaza glances at the door, then whispers again: "Lord Uvoll Darktarn, the Lord of the Purple Tower. He is my true master. Not the Thieves' Guild."
Smon: (you can't hear the whispers, unless you had Hear Noise. Gulaza DOES have Hear Noise and made her %s to track you.)
genghisdon: "got it, and why are you here, what's your mission?"
Mablir Dorlig: (OOC: I feel the need to play a NE character sometime soon)
genghisdon: (lol)
genghisdon: (i like heros, but baddies can be fun)
Mablir Dorlig: (maybe a C/T)
corum: @ Garrick (whilst stood well out of Gulaza's earshot) forget what I said perhaps we should torture her!
genghisdon: lol
Smon: Gulaza: "We were sent to seize the women of the East Mark, especially those of the Elite. It is part of the Marquis Talworth's plan to weaken and degrade them. Perhaps they will declare war - then all three of the Great Powers will crush them..." she grins evilly.
Smon: "But it is not yet time for Yggsburgh to know of this."
genghisdon: "An ingenious plan..."
genghisdon: "and ambitous for a pair...how many more of you are in Ygssburgh?"
Goonergeezer: garrick@flynn: if we were to torture her she would be of no use to hawkes, i feel he will have use for her enough once we finish
Smon: Gulaza: "There are many agents, but we are not revealed, each to the other."
Mablir Dorlig: Corak @ Garrick "tell her she has a maximum of 4 days to answer - if she doesn't choose which cheek to be scarred then all 4 get it and she only has one day - maybe branding each cheek rather than scarring?
genghisdon: ( i was hoping to use her as a hench thief, but that seems unlikely, or maybe put her in a skimpy maids outfit, but i dunno now)
corum: @ Garrick I dont care what Hawkes wants or needs, He is a pimp!
genghisdon: lol
Mablir Dorlig: Corak nods his head agreeing with Flynn
genghisdon: "are you in pairs then? or varied sized groups?"
Mablir Dorlig: "and he knows more about the criminal underworld than he lets on"
Smon: Gulaza: "Varied groups, I think."
genghisdon: "what are safe or code words you use to identify yourselves as agents amonst yourselves?"
Goonergeezer: garrick@ corak my lord have you no understanding of torture? you leave the facial disfigurememnt until last as that is her great asset, i can think of 100 things to do before we disfigure the face
Smon: Gulaza: "The Tower Rises" is my code-word."
Mablir Dorlig: But she needs her beauty and the threat to destroy it will weaken her will
genghisdon: and your man's? what was his code word?
Smon: Gulaza: "Bodvik? The same."
Goonergeezer: garrick@ corak for instance if you were to slowly peel the skin from a foot starting a toe at a time over a period of 48 hours just to get started, after-all a masterpuiece takes many weeks and connot be rushed
genghisdon: "ok, know anyone else's?"
Smon: Gulaza shakes her head. "No..."
genghisdon: (garrick knows way too much about torture to be a good guy)
Smon: "...We were not expected to communicate while in Yggsburgh, except by the safe drop. To send reports back."
genghisdon: "hmmm, that's really not a lot more than your captures had speculated Gulza, anything else you can think of that might get you some leniancy from them? another agent you don't like perhaps?"
genghisdon: "ah, the safe drop? where & how?"
Smon: Gulaza shakes her head. "Not that I know is here in Yggsburgh. There is a slaver in Dradville I despise, though."
Smon: "The drop? Yes, in the Outs."
genghisdon: "sounds good, tell me all you can of this slaver"
genghisdon: "i'll need more specificty about the drop in the outs too)
genghisdon: (sorry, im using the whole game up guys)
Smon: "His name is Thomas Kenaly, a man high in Lord Darktarn's esteem. But he is a brute, he tried to force himself upon me, as if I were a slave-slut!"
Goonergeezer: np wprries we are getting info on somthing else to look into
genghisdon: "the bastard! I'll castrate him for you!"
Smon: Gulaza grins. "An excellent notion!"
genghisdon: "consider it done, either alive or dead as opportunity flows"
genghisdon: "I can find out mnore about the drop box, once i negotiate some terms on your behaf"
Smon: "He does not appreciate that I am a skilled professional, an artist. To break and train a new slave girl while retaining her intact, takes great skill. The Princes of the East pay far more for virgins..."
genghisdon: "would you be adverse to remaining under light guard & performing light menial duties ubtil such time as a spy exchange of forces can be arranged?"
genghisdon: "men! nearly all are fools!"
Smon: Gulaza nods. "Tjat seems fine, much better than to be raped to death in the salt mines, as the guards promised me!2
Smon: Gulaza nods. "All are fools. Almost all. Except Lord Darktarn, of course."
genghisdon: "I'll see what I can arrange, but If you promise not to try to escape, or cause harm/espionage, i think you shall sit pretty Gulza, I'm glad for you"
genghisdon: Morganna calls loudly "you Louts can come back now!"
genghisdon: ok, i gotta go fast, dinner is ready
Smon: Gulaza nods.
Goonergeezer: garrick enters the stable: @ morg you find out everything we need to lknow?
corum: Flynn heads in
Smon: GM: Anything you want to do in the remaining 20 minutes tonight?
genghisdon: can we get the guys, in agredd not to hurt Gulza, Gulza not to flee/fight? and a bargain struck with Lord Hawkes as i dangle the info piece by piece trying to get her lieniency?
Smon: What do you mean by leniency?
Mablir Dorlig: Corak stays outside but in the doorway
genghisdon: "not every thing, but a very promising start indeed" Smiles at Gulza,
Smon: She has a 10 year sentence, indentured to Hawkes, he can have her sent to the salt mines at will.
genghisdon: UH.p, what i promised Gulza
genghisdon: yeah & i want easy peasy treatment, and a prisoner exchange when possible (bound to happen)
genghisdon: (they will get agents of ours, hell maybe one of us someday!)
Smon: GM: Morganna goes to see Hawkes. Ulrich: "I leave her treatment to your discretion." Are you telling him what you learned?
genghisdon: she has more details, and a traitor , ect
Mablir Dorlig: (if they care tuppence about what happens to her or Hawkes to anyone but Garrick)
genghisdon: if he agrees in writing to my terms, ues
genghisdon: yes
genghisdon: i care...good gal
genghisdon: but i gotta go, lead on boys
Smon: If you want Hawkes putting stuff in writing we'd have to play that out.
Smon: OOC: Sorry I couldn't do much tonight, hopefully was better than cancelling game.
corum: via the blog don?
Smon: OOC: Guess best thing is to quit now and hopefully do a proper game on Saturday.
definitely better than canceling a game, at least to me (sorry for hogging the time guys!).
ReplyDeleteMorganna realizes Gulza is a bad, bad girl, but she is really an espionage agent of a foreign power. I think my suggestions are the smart play AND the "right" play. Happy to talk to Sir Hawkes about the deal, will check in do so when u like Simon. It can even be after next game if need be, as it shouldn't be too big a deal.
Thanks Genghis - while I couldn't have predicted the crash, I think in future if I know I'm collecting Bill etc I'll schedule Thursday start to 7.30pm, that should let me get settled in first and make for a better game.
ReplyDeleteBTW that car crash not as bad as appeared, the people-carrier was wrapped around a bollard and scattered over the street, with child seats scattered everywhere, but according to local news the woman driver survived, was eventually extracted and taken to hospital with neck injuries.
On the rumours thread - moving timeline on to morning of the 16th, after you've met with Duvader on evening of the 15th and heard the latest rumours.
