planning for parties is an important business

[rufus sparkfire]

The social standing rules don't make a lot of sense to me! So I'm not sure. I'll read the article again and try to work it out. It doesn't help that those rules weren't used in any of the adventures, so none of the NPCs have social standings with their stats.

But I guess if Julian buys more expensive clothes and acts in a commanding way, he can probably get away with using his Ld more.

Yes, strike to stun would have been handy. You can still try to stun someone without it, but it's very difficult.

[Fandir Nightshade]

Ahhh yes the mission....sorry guys but nobody told Klaus that he will be missed by any investigations and he is very keen to click with the local nobles. Perhaps Etelka Herzen IS at the party and Klaus can contact her claiming to be someone that "associated" with Teugen.

[Finlay]

Hmm ok. Julian doesn’t really want to waste his money. He is trying to save up to start an engineering company.
How much would it cost to rent a small office somewhere?

We should wake up The injured dude today or tomorrow.  I reckon. He’s not going to wake up without intervention, then a dice roll to see if her survived.

I’m going to focus on non killing skills next for a bit- at least I did add more LD with my last 100 exp.
 2 attacks, strike mighty blow, high weaponskill. Good enough for now!

[Fandir Nightshade]

I will try to find a surgeon in the city after I got my costume and try to wake him....anyone wants to be present when I try to wake him and interrogate him via the "I am one of your friends of that cult of the red crown quick tell me what I need to know about the expedition as I need to join it. "

"

Worst plan ever.

I thought we were just going to let him heal up on his own.

[rufus sparkfire]

I wish I’d put some exp on strike to stun now! That’s one of the skills I wanted to learn, but seems we’ll need it right now. I don’t want to kill anyone else in a robbery.

Hey, Ragni has strike to stun! You can have him stun anyone that needs a good stunning.

Bring up another one if you have any better...no the plan was to get a second surgeon tell us about his condition and if he says the same as Dr. Schmidt we wake him.

Maybe just ask him questions?

[rufus sparkfire]

How much would it cost to rent a small office somewhere?

Well, you can buy a small urban house for about 450 crowns. Or a slightly bigger one in a better area for about 1500.

So renting a small office wouldn't cost much.

[Fandir Nightshade]

Maybe just ask him questions?

Like what?

[Cannonofdoom]

Maybe just ask him questions?

Like what?

Like, hey, who are you, why were you at Etelka's, are you secretly a chaos cultist, do you think my butt looks big, how much wood would a woodchuck chuck?

[Fandir Nightshade]

And why should he answer us if he were a cultist? Can´t we try that approach after I tried my ruse?

[Finlay]

we can wait to wake him until we are ready to leave, but i dont think he'll wake up

[rufus sparkfire]

So are Klaus and Mortus going to visit the injured guy again? Or do something else? They have ages before the party.

Julian is going gadget shopping, but what's he doing after that?

What's Heinrich doing?

[Finlay]

some subterfuge with ragni and heinrich. We could get Klaus and mortus back too for massive team subterfuge!

[Fandir Nightshade]

I wouldnt mind team subterfuge...what do you have in mind Finlay?

[Finlay]

Dunno, it’s Heinrich’s domain. Far as I can see, we got to break into both the HS’s houses.

[Fandir Nightshade]

Should be done during the day when they are at work I guess.

Don´t know if Klaus will be great help in that. On the other hand I still have my copper listening device.

Finlay what is your call on wounded guy...should I try to organize a surgeon and pluck intel from him?

[rufus sparkfire]

Regarding burglary, the letter of authority you got from Father Anton should allow you a certain amount of latitude with the watch if you get caught - it doesn't officially allow you to break the law, but it will encourage them to let you off if you are discrete. You aren't dealing with a corrupt watch controlled by the people you are investigating this time!


Hint!

You may also be able to find out if either of the H.S.'s has been organizing an expedition... he'd need time off from the college, transport, supplies, people...

[Fandir Nightshade]

I thought about that...it would be good if we don´t break the law....yet but try to gather as much information as possible. Watching the house to see who leaves and enters it. Following the Dr. to see if he goes into the kaufmanns district to buy supplies for a long travel etc.

[Finlay]

I think the plan with the cultist is fine. It probably wont work, but if not we haven’t lost anything. He’ll probably have to tell us something, he’s half dead and alone in nuln. I think they don’t matter anyway!
Not sure about not breaking the law, we need to find out not just which one it is, but also what they are up to, when they are leaving, what the plans are. Perhaps we could tail them both for suspicious activity and also break into their house.
I think we should maybe leave nuln tomorrow post party, if we can get intel.

[Fandir Nightshade]

We should make preperations for a long journey then, perhaps Billy can buy supplies.

I will then try to organize a surgeon in the city and go back to the cathedral after that I might try my luck with the building of Dr. Schmidt.

I will try to just walk in and ask around if the doctor is at home as I have some more questions regarding the wounded man and from there try to find out more.

[Cannonofdoom]

That sounds like a great plan, you should definitely do that. In the meantime Max, Julian, and I will visit the other man at school and arrange an interview. Let me do the talking.

[Fandir Nightshade]

Ok lets do this then!!!
