It would have made a much more interesting story if she was not a baddy though. 

No it wouldn't, it would have been totally nonsensical.

It could be nonsensical, but it could be very interesting depending on how it was done.   It would require her parents to be hiding stuff from her.   I suppose that is nonsensical alright

[Fandir Nightshade]

No it wouldn´t be more interesting or more sensical or anything...but you never ever can accept that you were wrong in any given situation.





I guess Klaus`s aim is a bit off because of the drowsyness I might accidentally shoot Mortus.....no of course I won`t. But I am tempted.

[rufus sparkfire]

Well, you may discover later that not everyone in Castle Wittgenstein is evil. But it just so happens that Margritte is, and is in fact the very worst one of all.


But she might die right now. It's tough to be an evil wizard in WFRP! They get killed before they can get any spells off.

[commandant]

There is that. 

Ahhh well, all of my arguments were for nough

Okay stabbing the doctor it is I suppose

[Fandir Nightshade]

That is what bodyugards are for...I bet Greta has high initiative and is careful enough to see actions like this coming (how a person moves towards her target) and would have caught the blade with her own before it sliced Magritte open.

Of course she was the worst of the bunch there was lots of evidence, that she was experimenting with the "playthings" called peasants and most likely she grew up in a household that taught her no empathy or mercy at all so why whould she be ye olde Mother Theresa?




..... now the funniest thing ever.....after reading the note I think Rousseaux is nothing but a pawn of Magritte and himself not really evil.
Well done commandante 

[Finlay]

Now that is not nice.   I fear this may not end well

And after all the effort I put in you had to make her a baddy after all (sad face)

You’re like a shitty feminist or Marxist scholar from 1960’s or 70’s academia.

Black Athena! Now with new added foreword by commandant.

It would have made a much more interesting story if she was not a baddy though.   I tend to forget that in GW fiction everything is pretty much what it seems

Now this I do agree with.


but your insistence to try and make her a goody despite mass evidence to the contrary has put the party in danger.

but you never ever can accept that you were wrong in any given situation.

No, he knew he was wrong, but played devil's advocate to troll us, and because he wanted the story to be different than it was.

I already said I didnt think dagmar was "a baddy"

..... now the funniest thing ever.....after reading the note I think Rousseaux is nothing but a pawn of Magritte and himself not really evil.

He may not be “evil” in the sense of chaos worshipping, peasant mutilating.

But he’s a stupid racist twat, who hates peasants. Time to die!

[Finlay]

I hope rufus hasn't replied yet because he's rolling the dice, not because he's gone away!

crucial attack time!

[rufus sparkfire]

Rousseaux isn't even a real doctor! He's a charlatan!

Oh, and I'm going to roll the dice now. I was waiting for everyone to say what they were going to do, and now they have.

[Fandir Nightshade]

kill em all!

Well I think he is a pet of Magritte and knows exactly that if he doesn´t play along with racism, bad jests etc. he will be the next experiment. A bit like what Hans said....it is incredible what you will endure if you have no choice.

Lets hope we are fit enought to bring down the guards....and I hope that Klaus`s toughness of 2 doesn´t mean the nibbling and having stuff in his mouth was enough to drug him.


A charlatan?  then we can´t kill him charlatans are awesome.

[rufus sparkfire]

So, there we go. That was the surprise round.

Press the attack or leave?

[commandant]

I think kill them is a good idea

[Finlay]

we could flee vefore the guards come in...

a shame we didnt finish them in one round.

[commandant]

If we flee we will need to go through the guards and we are drugged.   In the dinner room we have an advantage of space.

[rufus sparkfire]

The guards won't be too fast. It's hard to stay on alert for hours on end!

One round is only 10 seconds.

[commandant]

We can kill them both and regroup before the guards arrive

[Finlay]

kill them both then flee to the woods.

I think rufus is trying to get us to flee now! 8 armed guards with everyone at -10 stats might be tricky.

[commandant]

I think we need to stab them a few more times.   It would be even harder if they are still alive when the guards come after us.

And I though we would get a nice easy way into the castle

[Fandir Nightshade]

Bullets to the face and then we leave through the backdoor....Klaus knows the way should there be guards we fight our way through them and escape. Mortus could set a fireball fire to increase the confusion...on the other hand Rousseaux villa is one of the few houses left standing that isn´t a pile of junk I think we shouldn´t burn it down.

we will, when we meet the rebels.

the backdoor is where the guards are

[Fandir Nightshade]

Yeah.....? Well then the front door. I think it will be too late to save the one bullet but I have three shots left should be enough to get us out of there.
Problem with the pistol though will be the guards being alert...but Rousseaux squealing like a pig might bring them on the plan in any case.

[commandant]

She isn't dead.

If we get out of there now she is still alive which would be nasty

If we don't we need to take on all of the guards.

[Fandir Nightshade]

Oh ok saved my pistol shots after all.


Also we really can´t flee that well we have to carry Max and Billy.

Lets fight them here and now....at some point people have to say...Enough.....at some point people have to stand and fight. I guess Mortus could fireball them as soon as they open the door and then Ragni and Julian fight side by side so only two of them can fight our battle dwarves at the same time.


Also thinking about it.....do you remember that the son of the family is on travels....and that someone was issuing mutants be free edicts in Altdorf....and Karl Franz is sick. I guess we really have to exterminate the whole Wittgenstein family with the brother in Altdorf being next....perhaps we shouldn´t kill her and question her later.

[Finlay]

too late, sorry!

Mortus, do you want her evil lightning bolt ring?

[commandant]

Mortus will take the ring, I don't think lightening itself is evil though it can be put to evil uses

Billy and Max might be able to walk.
