rosencrantz and guildenstern are dead

Hilarious play! Just found the whole thing is on youtube! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4SVVKuOr0c

Love the running joke about the coin that keeps coming up heads. Who would have thought that playing RPGs with Rufus would make us more literate?

Need max to read what’s in the trunk. Smashing his trunk will alert the inn to your presence, so will need an escape plan!

Karl Voss of Averland · « **Reply #5752 on:** April 05, 2013, 04:58:21 PM »

We won't do it here. Thinking of taking the trunk to Yorri the black smith to open it. Or just a back alley. I'll bring everything inside "antidote like" with us. If anything is written in Dwarf, Ragni can help.

Max speaks dwarf! Ragni can't read.

lolwut! Julian would definitely have been teaching him how to read if he knew that

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #5755 on:** April 05, 2013, 11:15:34 PM »

Oh, I thought you knew. Well, you can teach him. He has spare EXP!

Maybe Julian has been trying to teach him all this time.

Finlay · « **Reply #5756 on:** April 05, 2013, 11:21:18 PM »

Maybe ol' raggers is just a bit thick

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #5757 on:** April 05, 2013, 11:24:39 PM »

That's harsh, man.

He's not the intellectual type, but he has a perfectly respectable Int score!

Also, you get poisoned a lot! Well, twice now.

Fandir Nightshade · « **Reply #5758 on:** April 06, 2013, 04:52:33 AM »

Yes only way to bring down tank dwarves.

Incredible how mean and bully the party is at times. Poor Bardin.

Karl Voss of Averland · « **Reply #5759 on:** April 06, 2013, 07:49:42 AM »

Julian has built up an immunity then!

How strange is it for two people to be carrying a box down the street? I mean, It's odd, but I don't think it's that odd since many people would be moving about carrying stuff for the carnival. Can't think of any convincing lies to carry the box outside, unless I had some pen and paper. Or I could have Ragni wear the feathered hat and pretend to be Bardin or something, hah! Yorri could pop the thing right open for us, and he's only a neighborhood away.

I'm thinking the window approach, but are there enough quiet allies about where Ragni and I could find a quiet spot to bust it open unmolested? I would probably lower it, as my S is the same as Ragni and my Dex is higher (Ragni has Dex of 18!).

Fandir Nightshade · « **Reply #5760 on:** April 06, 2013, 08:50:13 AM »

Klaus could have bluffed her or even bribed someone to cover the strange story....well.

The late Klaus Metzger who always was at the wrong place at the right time.

Karl Voss of Averland · « **Reply #5761 on:** April 06, 2013, 08:56:50 AM »

Oh Klausy, I'm sure we'll get to use your skills with all the political intrigue we're about to be involved in with the taxes.

I guess if something happens, Ragni and I can try to bribe too.

Fandir Nightshade · « **Reply #5762 on:** April 06, 2013, 08:58:07 AM »

But you two are likely to fail because of your low fellowship scores....which will bring the watch at your ass.

Karl Voss of Averland · « **Reply #5763 on:** April 06, 2013, 09:02:49 AM »

Bribes are measured from Willpower of the person being bribed aren't they?

Ragni has 750 crowns (!), so i'm sure we can sweeten the deal to make it succeed. Or I'll turn Ragni upside down and shake him and all the coins will fall out of his pouch. Then i'll run.

Fandir Nightshade · « **Reply #5764 on:** April 06, 2013, 09:07:04 AM »

Julian isn´t at the place and Max has his money and it is a fellowship vs willpower I think anyhow there is a skillcheck for a skill most people don´t have and one thing I enjoyed immensly in this campaign so far is how vital and fantastic a high fel score can be

Karl Voss of Averland · « **Reply #5765 on:** April 06, 2013, 09:10:52 AM »

Err, sorry I meant Ragni. I bet there will be some political figure that we need to "talk" to.

So I think our best bet is to send Ragni out to the alley, while I tie sheets around the handles of the trunk. When he signals the all clear, I lower the trunk, then go down and meet him. We find a quiet part of the alley and bust the thing open.

Fandir Nightshade · « **Reply #5766 on:** April 06, 2013, 09:16:29 AM »

It is amazing how criminal we are and how many unnecessary risks we take. We have Bardin in our hold ok Karl doesn´t know this but he also doesn´t know if Julian is poisoned carrying away the trunk .....could wait.

Karl Voss of Averland · « **Reply #5767 on:** April 06, 2013, 09:25:12 AM »

What Admund does know is that Bardin bought poison and that Julian went off to fight him alone, and that Heinrich following them. All of us think it's highly possible that Bardin has poisoned Julian or trapped him in some way, which is why Max wanted to run off so quickly with you to help or prevent poisoning.

Fandir Nightshade · « **Reply #5768 on:** April 06, 2013, 09:29:51 AM »

Lets se how it pans out lowering a trunk out of an inn window during bright daylight in a city that is brimming with people on the streets.

Karl Voss of Averland · « **Reply #5769 on:** April 06, 2013, 09:34:52 AM »

But the window opens to a quiet alley, which is the one thing in our favor. Or, I could try throwing some crowns at a servant as we carry the trunk out a back door and say "You didn't see nothing!"

Not strange at all. However, carrying Bardin's trunk out of his room and out of the inn in front of everyone would be noticeable!

So anyway: decide on an action, Karl!

Karl Voss of Averland · « **Reply #5771 on:** April 06, 2013, 07:16:43 PM »

Just got home. Going to go with the window approach. Seems fluffier, and if Fandir is right about bluffing/bribes, i'd rather not have Admund try them.

Just spent the afternoon out learning about English and Scottish slang from a Greek friend who studies in Glasgow.

Oh really? Feel free to use some.

Karl Voss of Averland · « **Reply #5773 on:** April 06, 2013, 07:28:38 PM »

Today, I learned what a chav is. What it means to give someone the "evils" or if someone is having a "chin-wag" or feeling a little "peckish" or having a "kip"

You brits are also on a whole different level of swearing.

Edit- Being a thief is fun, because of the cool rewards and experiences, but it's a lot of work and planning. A little glad I'm a warrior. Wish I hadn't made the plan different Klaus, and you and I were being the duo on this. Didn't want to send off the NPCs on there own as it felt like I would just be getting rid of them. Next time

Heinrich's good at threats because he means them.
