You're welcome! I had the idea that I'd be able to gradually reveal it over time, as they do with these sorts of plot devices in books and TV. But it turns out you can't really do that in RPGs. Players are going to want to get through the whole thing as soon as possible!


Also, I had no idea Mortus was married to Klaus. I'm sure that would be news to him also.   :biggriin:

Why do you think he turned to Chaos?

Doesn't look like we're getting anywhere finding Klaus. Should I offer to "escort" him as they leave on their "trip"?

I'm thinking that taking the gentleman up on his offer could lead to interesting chances to kidnap him :)

Merry Christmas in the Warhammer world! Though it's still summer there.

Doesn't he need to touch her to detect magic or is he more powerful than she is?

Yes, happy new year!  :::cheers:::

He did magical awareness - the one where you concentrate for a minute before detecting all wizards within 100 yards. Mortus can also do this.

Magical sense is the touch one.

Mortus should stay away from this:

I'd like to try it!


So: are we getting a bit bogged down by multiple plotlines? We've got Etelka/Klaus, evil elves, university cult, Haan and the Liber Mortis, plus some possible subquests (such as cannibal slaughterhouse guy!).

Maybe pick one to focus on for now?

Etelka has to be the one. We know Haan isn't getting the Liber Mortis from the source in the letter. University cult ties in to Etelka. That's my vote anyway.

Mortus wants to throw a glass of brandy over Hann at the moment.   Then her friends could drag him off to a private conversation?

Someone needs to do something!

The university cult meeting is soon, time-wise, if you want to go to that.

I'm waiting for people's ideas about throwing a glass of brandy over the guy, whether or not it is a good idea

I was under the assumption that Mortus and I don't know that these guys are terribly evil like Julian, Ragni, Max, and Hans know.

Maybe Hans should follow them? Is he adept at tailing people?

I think we know that Haan is dodgy given that we set fire to his shop

Are they terribly evil? Etelka's journal definitely doesn't say so!

Delftgrubber is just a tool.

Everyone knows Haan is after the Liber Mortis, which would probably earn you a burning anywhere in the Empire.
