Int = 13.

Sorry I saw the willpower test and thought that she is going nuts again.

[rufus sparkfire]

Int test to be able to understand the book, and WP test not to go mad!

[commandant]

Its the same reaction you get with AK v 99 on a 29A board.   You notice the A first.   

I saw the WP test and went oh no and then didn't notice the Int test.   Still understands the book and not nuts is a good result.

[rufus sparkfire]

Hmmm, now I'll have to decide if the book is actually helpful!

[commandant]

Doubtful.

By the way is Max in the same room as Heinrich?

Ie. Is the armour there?

[rufus sparkfire]

Ha, you're persistent/stubborn!

I think Max was sharing with Klaus. I'm not sure if Heinrich was sharing with anyone or not.

[commandant]

She wants her magic back.   Also that armour is bloody dangerous, it took away her magic.   Just imagine what it will do to poor Heinrich.

[rufus sparkfire]

No comment!

[commandant]

Didn't think there would be one.   Also are there side effects to being an alcoholic, because I think if Mortus doesn't stop drinking soon she is rapidly on her way to being a high functioning alcoholic [well functioning at least].   She has drunk a bottle of brandy so far today and I'm not sure when she last ate.   She must be starving and quite hammered.

[rufus sparkfire]

Hey, Admund might get to meet Mortus soon! That might be nice.

[rufus sparkfire]

Oh, you edited this in to your post!

Yes, there are rules for alcoholism. It's in the insanity section, so you can have it once you've gained a few more insanity points, if you like!

Arnst had it!


Hmmm, according to your character sheet you only have 1 insanity point. I was sure you had a few.

[commandant]

You really think that she will react well to a new person when she is drunk and scared?

Wonderful edit.   I don't think Mortus has any insanity points yet.   She is saner than Klaus and Heinrich [now that is weird].   Also hopefully we will see Arnst again soon.

She has one, apparently. I thought she gained a few during her weird dream/astral journey to the realm of chaos. Maybe just one.

Also hopefully we will see Arnst again soon.

Mogsam hates me and won't play anymore!

[commandant]

Read on

1d100+0
45+0 = 45

1d100+0
2+0 = 2

The roll of the two came first and then the forty-five.

[rufus sparkfire]

Heinrich touched the armour first.   Let me make sure that I am reading this properly.   

Mortus thinks that there could be a demon or demonic entity in Heinrich?

Mortus was touching it when it discharged. Heinrich has nothing to do with it!

[commandant]

[Heinrich, Mortus, Klaus, Max]
Mortus reaches for Anton's armor. Her hand hasn't even touched it when she feels a sudden, lurching pull in her stomach. Everything goes black and silent to her for a second. When her vision and hearing return, she feels drained - not physically tired, but somehow empty. She realises that her connection to the winds of magic has been broken.

[Mortus: magic points drained to zero]

Mortus never touched the armour, mainly because Heinrich wouldn't let her.   Heinrich was the first one to touch it.

It is entirely possible that isn't important though and it was her attempt to detect magic which triggered it.   

If Mortus believes the demonic release is powered by touch she will believe that it is in Heinrich.   Still maybe reading on will tell her more

[rufus sparkfire]

I didn't remember what I wrote, and I didn't check!

I've changed my post. Contact is no longer mentioned.

[commandant]

Grand so.   She is clear that there could be a demonic force in her.   Interesting indeed.   

[rufus sparkfire]

Seeing Max in the grasp of Gotthard Brandt he will excuse himself to Jana and stride towards the two. "Ah Max there you are I was already wondering what took you so long. Greetings Sir, my name is Klaus von Sternberg I think we have not met yet."

Sorry, didn't happen! Max is with Julian and Ragni.

[commandant]

Can she re-read the bit about purging the demon without taking another will power test?

Does she still need to take Int tests or just will power tests?   If it is just will power tests I have one pass [the 45] banked up and therefore she will read on.   If more tests need to be taken I will reconsider. [As the 45 was nearly a fail]

[rufus sparkfire]

Can she re-read the bit about purging the demon without taking another will power test?

Well, yes... but it will say the same thing! What does she want to know?

Reading the demonic bestiary section will require Int and WP tests.

[commandant]

Well, yes... but it will say the same thing! What does she want to know?

How much blood is needed and whether or not it can be drawn from different sources?   Though she might have gotten that from her first reading.

[rufus sparkfire]

So Mortus is fine with the idea in principle.

[Fandir Nightshade]

OF course she is a witch.

[commandant]

So Mortus is fine with the idea in principle.

If all she needs is a little blood then that can be acquired without doing any lasting damage to anybody of a serious nature then she is fine enough with that idea.

If a human sacrifice is needed it is likely that she would need to be a lot drunker before she was fine with that idea.

OF course she is a witch.

Well yes, and she also has a strong sense of self preservation.
