Not right this second. He is waiting for a response to his request.

All settled in (well sort of) here in America!

BTW Karl, I have read Texas was a good place to live, especially the cities.
Was just messing around.

I know! No worries, I wasn't offended or anything.

I forgot to ask where in Texas you are, Karl.

That's not that far! I live near Shreveport, which is about 3 hours East of Dallas. You're right near TexasYankee too then.

Time for the archery final when Heinrich goes back to the square.

Meanwhile, Admund needs to interrogate a prisoner!

Karl Voss of Averland · « **Reply #7259 on:** July 19, 2013, 02:36:48 PM »

Admund should interrogate like this

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #7260 on:** July 19, 2013, 02:37:34 PM »

Could do, though remember that was totally ineffective!

When? I've never interrogated before. Could I call Jack Bauer and have him waterboarded or something?

I meant in the film! Batman achieved nothing by beating up the Joker.

Oh, right. But it was one of the most memorable scenes!

Henchman #7 surely isn't a criminal mastermind though.

Torture generally hasn’t worked Karl. Mortus even threatened to chop some dude’s cock off, and got nothing from him I think.

Karl Voss of Averland · « **Reply #7265 on:** July 19, 2013, 05:14:19 PM »

Yikes! I had no plans to do that but... Yikes!

I guess torture never works or torture test rolls failed? Not trying to make a political statement btw.

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #7266 on:** July 19, 2013, 09:50:25 PM »

You can force someone to tell you something. You can't force them to tell you the truth. Or to tell you something they don't know. Torture isn't just morally contemptible, it's useless.

The cultist Mortus tried to torture told a series of unverifiable lies.

commandant · « **Reply #7267 on:** July 19, 2013, 10:29:21 PM »

The idea that torture doesn't work is a myth. Torture works really well, that is why people keep using it all over the world. However in order for it to work you need a way of telling the unverifiable lies from the truth. I don't think anybody in the party has any experience with torture though so it isn't that useful for the party.

Karl Voss of Averland · « **Reply #7268 on:** July 22, 2013, 12:51:00 AM »

Mortus, come to the archery tournament! I'll never meet you and get into arguments with you if you always hide out in your Inn.

commandant · « **Reply #7269 on:** July 22, 2013, 12:21:24 PM »

Mortus is scared shitless and not a little bit drunk at this stage. Losing her connection to the winds has taken away the security blanket she has had all her life. No doubt she will meet Admund soon [and can't fireball him]

Karl Voss of Averland · « **Reply #7270 on:** July 22, 2013, 03:11:51 PM »

Torture may not work, but maybe the threat of it will.

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #7271 on:** July 26, 2013, 11:31:18 AM »

I've been very bad at updating lately! I'm trying to get back into it.

Here's a summary of the plot status:

Goal 1: find out supported the new tax laws to Graf Boris. Repeal the taxes and unmask the power behind the throne!
- Graf Boris himself is confused and enfeebled.
- Dieter, the champion [discovered to have been hypnotized. This has been undone, and in any case Julian has taken his place as champion.]
- Chancellor Sparzam [tricked into becoming a drug addict. His addiction was then used to blackmail him into continuing to support the taxes. The group obtained a new drug supply for him, and will be able to get him to speak out against the taxes.]
- the three law lords. At least two must have voted for the taxes. Law Lord Ehrlich is apparently in hiding, refusing to leave his house.
- Ar-Ulric. No apparent reason for him to support the taxes, especially since they harm his own temple.
- Emmanuelle Schlagen, a lady of the court. Possibly the Graf's lover. No known reason for her to support the taxes.

Goal 2: find Gotthard von Wittgenstein. Suspected to be calling himself Gotthard Brandt, the head of the merchants' guild and the tax commission. Has been weakly linked to the Purple Hand. Further investigation required!

Goal 3: destroy the cult of the Purple Hand. Their base at Windhund Haulage has been exposed by Admund at the watch, and some minor cultists arrested. Gluckstein, a leader, has escaped, as has a mysterious elven necromancer. Also, Julian and Ragni killed another Purple Hand wizard in the undercity some time before.

Some or all of these goals may overlap! Some may be more important than others!

Karl Voss of Averland · « **Reply #7272 on:** July 26, 2013, 01:46:28 PM »

Goal 4: Not die grizzly horrible deaths!

commandant · « **Reply #7273 on:** July 26, 2013, 03:12:34 PM »

Goal 5: Find out how Mortus lost her connection to the winds of magic and how to change it.

Fandir Nightshade · « **Reply #7274 on:** July 26, 2013, 03:33:24 PM »

Nah not that important there won´t be as many innocent bystanders now.
