What if we had busted in and there had been only one cultist there, and then we wouldn’t have the name of the inside man at the cathedral.

This method is riskier for sure, but the rewards are far greater.

You went into a cellar to fight (I think 5.. maybe less? Maybe only 3 actually) some men on your own after bogenhafen and almost died. For basically no reason. This is not only safer, but the potential information we can get better.

As far as I remember it you guys didn't follow the plan and left me there alone. There were only 3. I killed one, and another got an insane damage roll (6, then another 6, then a 5). Wouldn't have mattered if we had all attacked together with a roll like that.

I agree I take chances, because it's a game and I enjoy the potential that my character might die. That's exciting. But we should be done in Altdorf by now and on our way to Marienburg. Let's just kill the cultists we can find and GTFO.

How does killing a few cultists stop the problem? We need to save the emperor.

Also, I am fairly certain you wanted to go down there on your own.

It is not a race, getting to the next encounter is not that important when compared to the current encounter

Cannonofdoom · « **Reply #4554 on:** December 13, 2012, 09:27:14 PM »

Fine, I'm not going to argue.

Oh dear, I forgot that Finck can't go out in public since he knows the Sigmarites are after him.

Time-spiralled it so it's the fighty guy instead.

I would like to know a little more about the magic system. Will the other wizard be able to tell the effect of a spell while it is being cast or must he wait until it is cast to see the effect.

He'll have to wait.

I'm fairly sure the rules don't allow for working out what spell the other wizard is casting. And I don't think we've played it differently before.

Edit: I checked, and it isn't possible to know what spell is being cast until it's cast. I think the idea is that the actual incantations and gestures used vary from wizard to wizard. Which is why it's hard to learn a spell - you have to experiment to discover the precise method that works for you.

Though it will be obvious which arcane language is being used.

So in theory Mortus could cast an aura and the wizard wouldn't know what she has done?

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #4560 on:** December 14, 2012, 11:51:54 AM »

They will know you cast a spell. But that's all.

You aren't very nice.

Mortus is awfully quiet!

commandant · « **Reply #4563 on:** December 14, 2012, 04:07:47 PM »

Mortus is happy to let Klaus do the talking, she is really only going to speak if somebody talks to her directly

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #4564 on:** December 14, 2012, 04:22:42 PM »

Fair enough.

commandant · « **Reply #4565 on:** December 14, 2012, 04:24:42 PM »

Also with the other wizard in the room, who is obviously more powerful and informed than she is, Mortus is kinda nervious and this does not seem like a good spot for bubbly nonsense

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #4566 on:** December 14, 2012, 04:29:44 PM »

That sounds sensible! She doesn't want to give the game away.

commandant · « **Reply #4567 on:** December 14, 2012, 04:31:36 PM »

And she is aware that Klaus is better at the bullshite than she is

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #4568 on:** December 14, 2012, 04:42:27 PM »

Certainly!

Well, I guess we are waiting for Klaus to decide when to call in the cavalry. Uh, I mean the infantry.

Fandir Nightshade · « **Reply #4569 on:** December 14, 2012, 05:25:52 PM »

Not yet i try to find out about that king and also if thy know anything about the Emperors sickness

Fandir Nightshade · « **Reply #4570 on:** December 14, 2012, 11:44:27 PM »

Mortus goes outside...gets Cavalinfantry .....good idea? I hope they buy the kings fries.

Jann just doesn´t seem to like good ol Klaus.

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #4571 on:** December 15, 2012, 09:38:34 AM »

So was that the signal to storm the house then?

Finlay · « **Reply #4572 on:** December 15, 2012, 09:55:47 AM »

There are quite a lot of them in there!

reinforcement attack!

Fandir Nightshade · « **Reply #4573 on:** December 15, 2012, 10:29:38 AM »

Mortus can basically walk over to someone she knows and signal to him or even say to him....bind this guy then tell them that it is time to storm the castle.

Cannonofdoom · « **Reply #4574 on:** December 15, 2012, 11:40:48 AM »

I quite hope all of the extra guards and people you have hired are secretly cultists, and it will be left entirely up to me and Billy to save the lot of you when they truss you up and drag you down to the tunnels to be sacrificed to the Great Horned Rat.

Not because I wish you guys ill, but because it would be a stunning twist and prove rufus to be quite diabolical.
