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

Fair enough! Looking back over the thread, Julian and Admund were unsure about bringing him, while Mortus didn't say anything. No to Sybo then?

Re Graveland and watch help: Graveland said he'd have to stay at the station until the aftermath of the demon incident had been resolved, so he won't be able to come. He might be able to send a few watchmen, but it's hard to say if they'd be of any real help.

[Karl Voss of Averland]

I'm for taking sybo Haan, as he could be useful, and Admund doesn't want to leave him locked up alone. I'd like to take him along to keep an eye on him, and he might be able to do useful magics to aid in Max's rescue.

Never leave wizards alone in your room. They might transmute your underwear or something.

[Sig]

Graveland's boys might be able to distract some sad thug henchmen or something.

[rufus sparkfire]

So one in favour of bringing him, and one against. Let's see what Finlay and commandant think.

Graveland's boys might be able to distract some sad thug henchmen or something.

True! He could send you the two who failed their fear tests and just stood around!

[Sig]

I'd say they're in bad shape after ten of Graveland's best each!

[rufus sparkfire]

Ha, I forgot he flogged them! They're probably off-duty then.

I'm sure he can find someone equally useful to send!

[Karl Voss of Averland]

Black hats pffft. Far inferior than the Middenheim Watch 

Sig - would Hans not want to bring him along because he's suspected of working with his necromancer brother?

Admund would want to bring him along because he might be useful and to keep an eye on him. He's not a fan of necromancers either.

[commandant]

Mortus doesn't care about Hann, she just wants to leave now.   She isn't worried that his brother was a necromancer.

[rufus sparkfire]

So commandant isn't bothered either way. Deciding vote to Finlay?

Black hats pffft. Far inferior than the Middenheim Watch 

They are! And a great deal more likely to be corrupt.

[Karl Voss of Averland]

Appropriate for the Graf's Champion!

They are! And a great deal more likely to be corrupt.

Admund should wear his Middenheim Watch tabbard to be snarky!

[rufus sparkfire]

Indeed! Though he's on holiday so might take a while to respond.

Admund should wear his Middenheim Watch tabbard to be snarky!

Ha, maybe he should! Though I suspect that would annoy the black caps into arresting him on some spurious charge or other.

[Sig]

Hans is suspicious about him, yeah. He was cautiously believing him until he refused to let the temple of Morr in on it all. In his mind anyone should be glad of their help to fight necromancy.

[Karl Voss of Averland]

Yea, that makes sense.

Oh the family drama of having your brother being involved in necromancy. It makes family dinner really awkward sometimes.

[rufus sparkfire]

I've posted an update, but it doesn't specify if Sybo is there or not. That can still be decided.

[Sig]

I feel like Julian would take him!

[Finlay]

i've posted.

If we leave him we either have to leave him tied up, or just released to the wild. Neither are great. and if he helps us he's probably trust worthy!

the family story and doing the healing won Julian over.

[rufus sparkfire]

I've temporarily removed the post I did, so that I can put it back after the post Finlay did. Then it will be in the right order!

[Karl Voss of Averland]

To do the exchange, Mortus, Hans, and I would have to go to the Inn near the duck triumphant restaurant and meet Etelka's contact. Any of us showing up at the wharf will tip them off.

I think we just need to bust in the wharf warehouse and look for Max.

I say we all land at a Jetty nearby (not out front). The building is a rubble stone and timber frame construction according to the picture. It looks like windows are on the second floor. Hans could easily climb that and peep in a shutter, while we wait along the south wall of the building.

[Finlay]

Ok makes sense!

[rufus sparkfire]

The building is a rubble stone and timber frame construction according to the picture. It looks like windows are on the second floor.

It's nice when I have a picture I can use! It makes things so much easier.

This one is from the White Dwarf Marienburg articles.

[Karl Voss of Averland]

Ok, so we can have Hans use his skills to peek in the window. He might be able to tell if the building has upstairs rooms or loft, or is just a big warehouse inside. Maybe he'll see people inside.

We can look for a backdoor, or have Sybo magic open one of the other doors and sneak inside.

[commandant]

Does Mortus know how to do that sense magic thing or can she only do the touch one?

Also sleep is a useful spell here

[Karl Voss of Averland]

Also sleep is a useful spell here

I think it will be very useful. If we can knock someone down or grapple them, you could cast Sleep on them really easily.

[rufus sparkfire]

Does Mortus know how to do that sense magic thing or can she only do the touch one?

Yes, Mortus has the same skill. She can do it too and confirm if he's telling the truth!

[Karl Voss of Averland]

Little does Mortus know, that all her friends are waiting in the building with balloons and confetti to celebrate her birthday.
