Topic: Shadows over Bogenhafen RPG (out of character thread)

[Mortus]

Mortus unfolds the note. The script is uneven and strange, as through written by someone unfamiliar with the use of a pen. It says, 'We know who you are. Do not follow us to Cathay. You will find nothing there.'

Also are any of the halflings dressed as wolfmen?

[rufus sparkfire]

Maybe someone was trying to warn Mortus about Chinese recasts.

[Fandir Nightshade]

Anyway lets wait on admunds input. I think klais made it sort of clear that mortus is coming along to the mages guild or stuffed in jail cell.

[Karl Voss of Averland]

Sorry for slow input!

Admund has the "Drive Cart" skill. Can I just strap mortus to the cart that is stuck in the road, and we all just cruise around the city for the day?

[Fandir Nightshade]

Mortus is acting strange...lots of chaos cults acting around the group lately and shape shifter around lets just bag her.

[Finlay]

well acting on other PCs is not good.


but her saying "we achieve nothing if we stick together" is not paying attention to rufus' request to stick together.

[Fandir Nightshade]

killing other pc´s isn´t good style or using ones skills on them.

It makes in and out character reasonable for Mortus to go along.....if she denies it is very reasonable for the other party members to believe that there is something fishy going on.


In chains with her.

[commandant]

Because arresting somebody for wanting to go to the merchants' guild is not going to tip off people at the merchants' guild?

but her saying "we achieve nothing if we stick together" is not paying attention to rufus' request to stick together.

Her point is not wrong, we achieve less if we don't split up.

This could get interesting.

[rufus sparkfire]

Actually, splitting up means you generate more irrelevant side plots that you then think are connected to the main story.

[Fandir Nightshade]

Admund is with the guard and has the authority to take you into custody nobody will find it too strange that someone of the guard arrests somebody.....lets go sweet cheeks.

[Finlay]

Her point is not wrong, we achieve less if we don't split up.

Not really, as the game days last months. there's enough time for the whole group to do the 3 or 4 things we have planned today.

[rufus sparkfire]

Julian is there too, if he wants to say something. So is Heinrich.

[commandant]

It still achieves less.

Actually, splitting up means you generate more irrelevant side plots that you then think are connected to the main story.

It also stops us from missing points which are connected to the main plot.

How can you possibly judge that without seeing the game book?

[commandant]

I can't, however you did tell us that the group missed about half the adventure in Bogenhafen.

[Finlay]

lol at mortus talking about achieving things, when she has achieved precisely nothing since initially departing the group.

[Fandir Nightshade]

Lets wait for cannons and karls input tgen move on.

[commandant]

She has achieved some things.   They could have been important things, it is likely that they weren't but they could have been.

[rufus sparkfire]

No, I said that you didn't follow the railroad that the writer expected. You actually did a lot more than was in the book.

This adventure is not structured like that at all. And it overlaps with a lot of unrelated plot hooks in the Middenheim sourcebook.

[Finlay]

Commandant, Julian didn’t say fuck off her to, I changed the post after she left.
Not sure if you want to edit yours in light of that.

[rufus sparkfire]

I never did explain what happened to Arnst. Perhaps he ran off to join the circus.

[commandant]

Ahh okay, I'll go back and read what he did say so.

[Finlay]

I just let her leave, then called her crazy to admund.

[commandant]

I noticed, and rufus deleted the post where I quoted Julian's speech, better for everybody I suppose though in light of that I'm going to need to change her speech.   I'll think on it.

Julian is a dwarf, I am surprised that he thinks a month = a long time.

[Fandir Nightshade]

Yes....and what a moment to find out what happened to him. I say lets wait for Karls input but right now Klaus is convinced that Mortus is hiding too much to let her roam Middenheim on her own. Gag and bind her and drag her along to the mages guild where we will talk a bit about wizards running around in the wilderness and Mortus might explain to the mages what she has found out about the armour so far...and what happened to her.
