True!

It's unusual for dwarfs to take serious drugs like black lotus, but the book says that a few of them do.

is the opium den directly owned by the gangs?

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #11802 on:** June 29, 2015, 11:13:18 AM »

No, it isn't.

Hey all, sorry for my abcense, I was away most of last week. I was at a gaming convention. I've never played more games in such a short span of time. Couldn't find any WFRP being played.

Also, my parents warned me to stay away from Black Lotus.

A gaming convention! Clearly, we need to hear more about that. What did you play? Do you have pictures?

Very sensible. It costs $10000!

Breaking in around the back of the opium den could work, if you can't get in the front door.

Awkward stall due to lack of sneaky/talky characters!

Finlay · « **Reply #11806 on:** June 30, 2015, 10:40:34 AM »

do we know what this bloke looks like or anything? How are we going to find him.

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #11807 on:** June 30, 2015, 10:44:43 AM »

Ah. Good point.

Granny Hetta could have given you a rough description. Let's say she did.

I guess the attendant is waiting for us to smoke, after max pulled a whitey?

I was at the Dice Tower Con, which is a fairly small gaming convention here in the US. It was my first time attending a convention, and a buddy of mine had flown in to stay with me and go to the con. I had to work, but I was there in the evenings to play games during the week, and most of last weekend. Basically, it was a massive array of board gaming. The organizes have a huge game library you can check board games out of to play, people bring their own, publishers bring games to demo, etc. It was fun. I saw there was a magic tournament going on, but I was caught up in the Memior '44 Operation Overlord game going on. I think I played 25 - 30 different board games this weekend. Everything from Command and Colors to Lancaster and Pandemic. It was fun, but also very tiring. My brain feels like it will explode still.

I don't really have pictures - unless you count boring pictures of a table and a board game.

I think it's threatening/killing time! Ain't smoking Black Lotus.

Finlay · « **Reply #11811 on:** July 01, 2015, 10:07:49 AM »

Julian was planning to take the smoke into his mouth, not inhale it, then blow it out (Like when you pretend to smoke weed when you're 14 and trying to impress girls, but then you're sick on a bench anyway). Would it still get him smashed? not sure.

I can certainly see your characters not wanting to, but I think Julian would do that. Dwarfs smoke weed in lotr/warhammer anyway.

Finlay · « **Reply #11812 on:** July 01, 2015, 10:09:17 AM »

karl im not sure the man would let us just go hide, he would probably check we were ok, presuming we needed help after Max coughing.
top quality customer service!

I will wait for rufus to confirm before posting.

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #11813 on:** July 01, 2015, 10:31:48 AM »

If you smoke the black lotus pipe, you have to take a poison test (using your toughness). Not inhaling the smoke into your lungs would give you a bonus. So Julian would almost certainly be unaffected, but Max would be more at risk.

Failing a poison test for one dose of black lotus just makes you 'drowsy,' though you also have to pass a WP test or get d6 insanity points! Which would most likely mean addiction.

Admund, Mortus and Ragni stayed outside the building.

Also, Karl: the convention sounds great! Like spending a week at Soth's gaming club.

Finlay · « **Reply #11814 on:** July 01, 2015, 11:16:14 AM »

Is the attendant still next to us?

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #11815 on:** July 01, 2015, 11:19:09 AM »

Yes: he's offering pipes to you.

Finlay · « **Reply #11816 on:** July 01, 2015, 12:09:02 PM »

much better plan sig.

although I think it would have been fun if Julian was a lotus eater!

Sig · « **Reply #11817 on:** July 01, 2015, 12:44:49 PM »

Lol. I don't think being addicted to Lotus is too much fun to be honest. The book doesn't make it sound very attractive, even for dwarfs.

Hans really wants to kill the Lascar. Shame that it's not a good idea!

Finlay · « **Reply #11818 on:** July 01, 2015, 01:05:08 PM »

I meant fun to rp, not for Julian!

The fact I have a leather thing to get back here makes me think we shouldn't burn all the bridges.

Karl Voss of Averland · « **Reply #11819 on:** July 01, 2015, 01:12:38 PM »

Shame on the lot of you for giving into peer pressure and taking drugs! I went ahead and contact your parents. They said they're not mad, just disappointed.

It would be fine by me!

Wow.

All the secrets!

Sig · « **Reply #11822 on:** July 02, 2015, 03:08:12 AM »

Anyone who wants should try to diffuse the situation before the stabbing starts!

Finlay · « **Reply #11823 on:** July 02, 2015, 08:52:55 AM »

I was going to before you flashed your sword at attendant!

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #11824 on:** July 02, 2015, 08:57:26 AM »

You could still try to avoid a fight. If you want.
