Admund should realise the problem with the tax from his previous employer.
but it’s quite realistic that the people not effected wouldn’t care, unless they were friends with dwarfs or it harmed their business or something.

He sees it's causing problems, but he's not a political activist fighting for the rights of people. To him, his boss lost some money and refused to pay him. He solved it with his fists and took his pay by force. If anything, the military argument of having all the dwarfs and wizards leave the city due to the taxes would make the most sense to him. As far as he's concerned, there are plenty of places to sell his sword if not in Middenheim, back home in Carroburg/Marienburg.

Admund hasn't even met Julian/Ragni yet, so he doesn't care about their problems either.

yeh, that's how I see it. He'd be aware of it, but not really care.

This is the problem with a player joining later- but I'm sure we'll blend it in and find some motives for you!

I wouldnt suggest fighting a minotaur unless Rufus gave you some exp to spend!

Yeah, I knew it would be a problem coming in. Your characters have been going for six months, and i'm just showing up on the scene. I'm totally fine with that though! I think it will make for a good story. I even tried to come in to the story a little uniquely rather than simply getting hired, as I thought that would be pretty boring. I'm positive Admund will develop into the story plot. Maybe we'll become BFFs; spending our days unraveling political intrigue and our nights drinking heavily.

Ha! Maybe only pity exp for getting shot in the face. The dice roller Rufus uses hates me anyway. It sounds fun, and Admund could use the money to get some more gear. Think I'll still give it a go. We'll see when Carnival time rolls around

No one has had any exp for ages! Though they probably should have.

Hmmm, I don't really want Max to have to do all the NPC interaction!

Got it. I will talk to the NPCs. Sorry, I thought Max wanted to do the talking. I inferred it from a conversation at the Inn that Max wanted to speak to the tax commission.

Updated previous Admund post for you.

Well, it's basically me talking to myself if I do that!

Cannonofdoom · « **Reply #5330 on:** March 16, 2013, 01:30:13 PM »

I have completed my runabout, so I will now go back and hope to find Julian.

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #5331 on:** March 16, 2013, 01:34:25 PM »

I feel bad about Heinrich having to go to a lot of places you know Julian isn't, for the sake of a sidequest! Julian's sidequest, in fact, which has so far had no impact on him at all!

It's okay, I learned stuff.

Karl Voss of Averland · « **Reply #5333 on:** March 16, 2013, 01:54:41 PM »

We'll have a party meeting at the tavern and mutually share all we learned from chatting up the bureaucrats of Middenheim over dinner.

Maybe the smell of food will draw Julian and Ragni back to us.

Props Cannon for going through the hassle of playing along

Fandir Nightshade · « **Reply #5334 on:** March 16, 2013, 04:16:43 PM »

Klaus will take care that we are royally paid for saving the city...and Dwarves...and Wizards...and....maybe even Elves.

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #5335 on:** March 16, 2013, 04:45:46 PM »

I wanted to remove the elves from this adventure, but they are too deeply entrenched in the plot! It would have been more trouble than it was worth. It's funny really, because the first two parts of the Enemy Within campaign are totally elf-free. Apart from one of the pregen PCs. Then suddenly, Middenheim has quite a few elves.

Boo to elves!

Fandir Nightshade · « **Reply #5336 on:** March 16, 2013, 04:55:13 PM »

Elves are amazing..it might turn out that Klaus is an Elf.....his ears were cropped when he was a child....

Karl Voss of Averland · « **Reply #5337 on:** March 16, 2013, 05:02:28 PM »

So that makes Klaus an elf posing as a gambler posing as a noble?

Klausception

If Julian gets on with his underground exploration, he might actually return to the chapel in time to meet up with Heinrich!

Karl Voss of Averland · « **Reply #5339 on:** March 18, 2013, 10:40:56 AM »

You know great evil is afoot when you find a letter signed "love and hugs"

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #5340 on:** March 18, 2013, 12:17:06 PM »

Definitely.

Also, I will do an update soon!

Karl Voss of Averland · « **Reply #5341 on:** March 18, 2013, 05:06:21 PM »

Julian should tame Hubert and ride him around Middenheim.

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #5342 on:** March 18, 2013, 05:08:30 PM »

I think he wants to!

Karl Voss of Averland · « **Reply #5343 on:** March 18, 2013, 05:11:04 PM »

It may not help us keep a low profile as we pick apart this conspiracy, but it would be awesome.

Finlay · « **Reply #5344 on:** March 18, 2013, 05:14:21 PM »

It may be frowned upon, being a mutant and all, but I definitely am trying to tame him.

I am going to get him to eat bardin.

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #5345 on:** March 18, 2013, 05:16:11 PM »

Since it's nearly carnival week, you could claim it was a big horse in a fancy costume, or something!

Karl Voss of Averland · « **Reply #5346 on:** March 18, 2013, 05:19:42 PM »

True! Knights Panther might have a problem if you eat the Graf's champion or someone accidentally.

How much longer until the carnival? Couple of days right? I need to remember to heal up before participating in any fun and games

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #5347 on:** March 18, 2013, 05:55:24 PM »

One more day, then it starts!

Will update later!

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #5348 on:** March 18, 2013, 10:04:46 PM »

There! Update.

Don't forget also that the character sheet thread has a map of Middenheim, plus a complete journal of all information obtained so far! Please use it!

Fandir Nightshade · « **Reply #5349 on:** March 18, 2013, 10:07:06 PM »

I will...tomorrow!

Busy day though so won´t do much till the evening.
